Author's Note: This fic is directly related to the doujinshi "God's Eyes," which I acknowledge as the true end of Death Note. X3 (If you haven't read it yet, you really should! You can find it here: http(colon-slash-slash)vilani(dot)livejournal(dot)com(slash)75156(dot)html.)
Warnings: You probably won't get this unless you've read "God's Eyes." LxLight.
"Why haven't you aged?!"
The first time he spoke the words, they were in venomous anger—furious at his guardian for treating him like the child he (technically) was. And the older man (so much older than he looked) had made a joke of it all, quoting a painter and claiming to be a virgin.
He wasn't.
But he couldn't very well tell the child that they'd once been lovers, could he?
So as Light threw a fit, the detective simply smiled, the expression both cheery and patronizing; he refused to pay the words any serious thought until after the sprout had gone back to his room. Then, and only then, did L peek hesitantly at a dusty mirror.
Then he shivered and tried to forget that he'd done so.
"Why haven't you aged?"
The second time, years later, the question was asked much more calmly: poorly-hidden curiosity in the pre-teen's cinnamon eyes. He didn't even bother to pretend that he was doing his homework anymore; all around them, the countless shelves of the Wammy House library stood in yellowed silence. It was a place made for whispers and side-long glances… Light's actions were spurred by the ambiance.
But L would have none of that. When he answered, it was in his usual drone: "I have aged," he insisted, the retort strangely loud in the hush of the room. As always, his chin was on his knees; he turned the rustling pages of his newspaper without sparing his charge a single look. "However, as I age at the same rate you do, you don't notice anything. For example, in my eyes, you still look like a five year old."
Light frowned. "That doesn't even make sense," he glowered, crossing his arms over his chest.
"If that is how you truly feel, then it means you are stupid," L returned flatly, but seemed to be biting back a teasing grin. "In which case, you haven't been working hard enough. Shall I increase your homework load?"
The young boy groaned, flopping forward so that his torso blanketed the ancient wooden table. "No…"
"Then prove that you are not stupid. Recite for me the history of Grecian theatre, starting with the ancient cults of Dionysus." A pause. "And tell me in French."
Another whining moan. "Do I have to…?" Light complained, all while knowing how pointless it was to resist. In fact, he didn't even bother waiting for an answer; with a sigh, he stood, turned towards his frog-faced teacher, and began: "Le concept du théâtre et du drame s'est développé du culte antique de Dionysus, un dieu de vin et de fertilité. Ces cultes désigné généralement sous le nom étant une partie du Mystère-compréhensible dionysien, comme pas beaucoup est connu au sujet de elles. Cependant, on le suppose qu'ils ont émergé la première fois à la suite de l'apparition du vin en Grèce antique, qui est censée s'être produite dans 6000 AVANT JÉSUS CHRIST. Les rites du culte semblent avoir été basés sur le cycle de mort-renaissance de la nature avec une emphase sur la possession d'esprit…"
And so the original inquiry flew far from the child's mind.
But still, the resulting, faint frown did not leave L's face for the rest of the day.
"Why haven't you aged…?"
He was physically a teenager when he asked the third time—but, simultaneously, an adult in the eyes of the world. And L had to admit, he could see where the world was coming from: the way he carried himself, the way he dressed, the way he'd pierce a person with those intelligent chocolate eyes… He seemed so much older than he actually was.
Almost like L himself.
So maybe that was why L said nothing, averted his gaze—tried to forget the boy from long, long, long ago, the one he'd chained to himself and never wanted to let go.
"Ryuuzaki?" Light probed, his voice careful, delicate. He pressed his palms flat to his caretaker's mahogany desk, leaning slightly over the barrier of wood. L didn't respond, but he did sink more pointedly into his spindly chair. "Ryuuzaki… Please. Tell me. I have to know. Why? It shouldn't be possible—but I swear upon any god listening, you haven't aged a day since we m—"
"Don't," L said softly, his voice curt and firm.
Light blinked. "Don't…?"
"Don't swear upon 'any god listening,'" the detective coldly clarified, wrapping his arms around his knees and staring pointedly out the window, watching the summer sunset. "You don't realize how many are listening, Light… and they are probably not the gods you'd assume."
To this, the younger man merely gawked. "Ryuuzaki…" he breathed a moment later… and then there was a smirk on his face, and laughter in his eyes. "I'd never have pinned you for a religious fanatic."
"I am not," L returned curtly, and Light was startled by the ice in his tone. "But you would not believe the truth if I told you."
Once again, Light was reduced to merely blinking in surprise. But then, slowly—ever so slowly—he began bending forward, moving closer… until his body had bridged over the ornate desk, his nose a scant few inches from his teacher's. "L…" he whispered, voice low with genuine sincerity, "you are the only person in the entire world who has my complete trust. I would believe anything you told me."
The detective watched his pupil from beneath half-lowered lashes, his breathing growing harsh and shallow as memories flit and winked like fireflies through the twilight of his memory. "…anything…?" he heard himself murmur, tongue flicking over his dry bottom lip.
Light nodded once, brisk and begging. "Anythi—"
But his intended promise was cut short by a gasp and a moan; in that moment, L had thrown himself forward: wrapping his arms around the other's neck and pulling him down, down, down— the mouths meeting and meshing and forming one whole.
The papers and folders and manila case files that had rested on the desk were scattered to the floor; the individual pages fluttered gently in the warm, sweet wind that floated through the open window.
A whimper, a groan— silent, silvery tears…
"I love you, Night God Moon."
And history repeated itself.
"Why haven't you aged…?"
The fourth time found them lounging in bed, unclothed and bundled in a Christmas blanket. The detective grumbled faintly, rolling to wrap an arm around the younger man. But now the younger man looked older than he did: close to 40, mature and beautiful, with enough youth in his eyes to make up for his gray hairs.
"You'll have to answer sometime, Ryuuzaki," Light sighed, refusing to let himself be distracted by butterfly kisses. "People are starting to look at me like I'm some sort of pedophile."
L snorted. "Ridiculous," he then droned, kissing a hot trail up his lover's throat. "I am clearly of age. There is no reason for anyone to assume such a thing."
"Ryuuzaki…" He was losing patience.
Even still, L did not answer. Instead, he chose to press his hungry lips against Light's own, suckling and tickling with practiced skill… And soon the younger man could no longer pretend he wasn't interested in perusing this alternate form of entertainment.
"Why haven't you aged?!"
The last time was like the first: full of anger and annoyance. And yet, deep in the unheard subtext, there was also a hint of despair… of loneliness.
An unchanged L briefly touched his lover's hand, as if wishing to hold it—but quickly pulled away when the sickly senior jerked backwards, trembling as if frightened.
L couldn't blame him. "…I am scared, too," he whispered slowly, sinking into an adjacent chair. Around him, Room Zero felt cold and oppressive; how he hated irony for bringing him back to this place.
He wished—and not for the first time—that he were dead.
The younger man (but oh, he looked so much older) glared briefly, then twisted his head away, as if trying to ignore his companion. A weighty silence hung between the teacher and the student… and then L sighed, allowing two cold fingers to brush against Light's withered arm.
"…do you remember," he said softly, black eyes distant and warm voice low, "when you claimed that I was a religious fanatic?"
No response. But it was enough.
"I am not, nor have I ever been, a religious fanatic," L quietly continued, swallowing once. "But I did… fall in love with a shinigami."
Despite his best efforts, Light could not help but turn to face his lover once again. As he gawked, a single glassy tear quivered on the ends of L's thick charcoal lashes.
"…and in so doing," the detective finished, the words hesitant and heavy as he hung his trembling head, "I seem to have inadvertently locked myself in limbo."
The wrinkled elder visibly gaped; L closed his eyes and brushed a kiss to Light's forehead.
"Yagami Light… you were the Death of me."
No one asked him why he did not age anymore.
Not out of callousness, of course, or even a lack of interest. No, the reason was much simpler: there was no one around to do so. Light, Matsuda, Roger, Near— everyone who had touched his second life, every single person he had cared for, or about… time had swept them away, leaving him behind.
He sat silently at his desk, typing, typing, typing…
There was work, of course. He was not completely without interaction. And the orphanage blossomed, its sprouts growing tall and healthy and true. He was not un-happy.
But then, he was not truly happy, either.
Seems you've gotten yourself into quite a spot.
Years ago, L supposed, he might have reacted violently to this voice. Years ago, he might have yelled, or screamed, or demanded to know what had happened to him. Years ago, he might have cared. But the passing of decades had found him calmer than ever—more collected and flat-faced than even the 'L' of the Kira Task Force had been. And so when the shinigami Ryuk materialized behind him, L did not even flinch.
"I did not do this to myself," he replied coolly, without bothering to look away from his computer screen. He doubted the changing times had done much to alter Ryuk's appearance, either. "My condition is in no doubt tied to your damnable notebook, somehow. However, I have long-since given up my attempts to figure out how."
Oh ho! Too complex for you? The black-clad devil grinned, its clown face shining with amusement.
L snorted. "No. I simply no longer care."
…Oh. Ryuk seemed a bit put out, scratching at his head for a spell before pulling an apple from his pocket.
"But that is neither here nor there," the detective droned, putting the final touches on his report. Thank God: that case had been so easy it had nearly put him to sleep. Which was saying something, all things considered. "What can I do for you, Shinigami?"
Oh—yeah! The god of death straightened mid-air, as if suddenly attempting to appear impressive. But even he seemed to know it was a wasted effort; in the next few moments, he was back to chewing happily away on his scarlet fruit. I just thought ya might wanna know that the sand will soon be back again.
And for the first time in his life, L's hands skipped on his keyboard.
"Wh— what…?" Whipping around, the young man gawked up at the leering devil, leaping to his feet. "Light will…? Where? When?!"
Ah ah ah, Ryuk chortled, popping the core into his mouth and smirking widely. What fun would that be? No, no, Detective L. I'm not sayin' anything more. You're so smart, you find him. I just figured it'd be more fun if I let you know that it was time to start looking again.
His cackling grew louder, bulging eyes bright. Then with a wave of his claw-like hand, he was gone.
L was left alone, breathing hard in the shadowed silence.
But for the first time in nearly 90 years, he was smiling.

Liverpool traveled to face Manchester City in a massive premier league game on Sunday evening in what was a massive game for both teams chances of finishing in top 4. Liverpool needed somthing from this game to keep themselves in good position ahead of chasing pack of United and Arsenal while City could make their lives easier with a win going into the business end of the season. Both teams played out a very exciting 0-0 draw where both had chances, some good ones, penalty shouts some last-ditch effort stops and what not. However the game was still goal less at the break.
Manchester City 0-1 Liverpool Highlights
[ English Premier League 2017 Match ]
51′ 0 – 1 James Milner scored from penalty spot after referee Michael Oliver had given Liverpool the penalty
Match Highlights
Match Preview & Team News: Pep Guardiola's City were humbled out of Champions League in the hands of AS Monaco who defeated City 3-1 in second leg of their champions league round of 16 tie. Now Guardiola has to put all attention back in premier league and try to finish in top 4 otherwise will be a disastrous season for City.
Jurgen Klopp on the other hand has a clear run of fixtures from now to end of the season without any distractions of cup competitions and 3 wins of last 4 premier league games have kind put them in a good position to finish in top four going into the business end of the season.
Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City – 31 December 2017
[ English Premier League 2016-17 Match ]
8′ 1 – 0 Georginio Wijnaldum scored with a superb header after Adam Lallana put in a nice cross from the left.
Liverpool on the other hand played with full strength team against Augsburg and a Daniel Sturridge continue to play 60 odd minutes after recovering from series of injuries which kept him out for best part of last 1 year. He is likely to start upfront with Coutinho and Firmino playing on either flanks. Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and James Milner should start in midfield.
This is how I expect both teams to lineup in the premier league game on Wednesday night
Recent Form & Predictions: If Chelsea were to win their game this weekend they will go 9 points clear at top for atleast a few hours until Liverpool play City and if City-Liverpool finish in draw or city winning it will wrap up a superb first half of the season for Chelsea. So a win for Liverpool is pivotal for their title challenge. I can see this game ending in a draw with both teams to get on score-sheet.
Preview Match Review: Liverpool on the other hand had a good weeks rest as they were not involved in the FA Cup last week which gives them slight advantage and they can play there pressing game for best part of 90 minutes. I am going with a narrow win for Liverpool on this one, Although City have better players but they just don't seem to bother anymore since Pep Guardiola is announced as their new manager.
Liverpool might have lost the League Cup final in the hands of Manchester City last Sunday but they were unfazed when they hosted City on Wednesday night at Anfield. Liverpool started the game much stronger and scored twice before the break to put City pretty much out of the game and end their title challenge. Adam Lallana scored the opening goal in 34th minute while James Milner added second just before the halftime.
Adam Lallana had a great first half and he ended up getting on the scoresheet with a sweat finish in 34th minute. Former City man James Milner will be delighted after he added second of the night for Liverpool.

On the next episode of the fourth season, Indifference, will we be seeing Morgan Jones again?
On November 19 of last year, it was confirmed that Morgan would be returning to the show in Season 3, his return indeed occured in this year's Clear, which aired on March 3rd. News of Morgan's return was announced approximately 4 months (rounded up) before the episode that reintroduced him aired.
On July 19, of this year, it was confirmed by Showrunner Scott M. Gimple that Season 4 would see Morgan's return, and this was around Comic-con.
This is where things start to get intersting: Tonight's episode airs on November 3rd. In both cases the announcements for Morgan's return occured on the 19th of a month and (in one case, so far), the episode which he returns happens on the 3rd of the month that occurs 4 months later.
Simply put, the time between November 19 and March 3 is the same as the time between July 19 and November 3.
I worked this out a while ago, but put the idea to rest as I thought it was a coincedence.
And here's where it get's REALLY interesting:
According to casting calls from SpoilerTV (a source I find to be very reliable - most of the time), three characters: Jack, Erin and Julio are to be featured. This is interesting because the opening shot of the episode Clear is a sign acting as a message from J. to Erin. It is quite peculiar that 'Erin' will be appearing again in the next episode and she is accompained by Julio and Jack (one of which could be J.)
NOTE: I do recall that there was a walker that had a bracelet with the name 'Erin' on it, and there is a wiki page dedicated to this walker, with it identified as Erin - simply because of the bracelet. It is odd to think that someone would wear a bracelet with their own name on it. This could disprove my theory, yet regardless, this is simply speculation with technical and wordy evidence.
What do you think?

It is Thursday, so a little humor is in order. Here is my take on the difference between schools now and then!!
Situtaion 1:
Ajay and Sanjay get into a fist fight after School.
1980 – Crowd gathers. Ajay wins. Ajay and Sanjay shake hands and ends up being best friends.
2015 – Police called and they arrest both Ajay and Sanjay. They are both charged with assault and both suspended/expelled even though Sanjay started it.
Situation 2:
Ram fails his English exam
1980 – Gives a retest, passes English and goes to college.
2015 – Ram's cause is taken up the state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that giving emphasis on English means forgetting our culture. Some NGO files lawsuit against the education system and Ram's English teacher. English is banned from their school's curriculum. Ram gets his pass certificate but ends up as a peon for a living because he cannot speak English.
Situation 3:
Priya falls while running during break time and scrapes her knees. She is found crying by her teacher, Vinod. Vinod hugs her to comfort her.
1980 – In a short time, Priya feels better and goes on playing.
2015 – Vinod is accused of being a sexual predator and loses his job. Faces 3 years imprisonment.
Situation 4:
Carrying backpacks.
1980 – Each of your teacher insisted that you bring your textbook to class every day, and you've got back problems to prove it.
2015 – Many schools have gone digital which means kids get to forego the back pain and look super cool.
Situation 5:
Hari was a chain smoker.
1980 – Going to a secluded place and inviting 2-3 more people.
2015 – Photos of Hari smoking are everywhere. You name it!! Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Situation 6:
Vinny and Manu's summer break is on.
1980 – Vinny and Manu soaked up the sun rays while sitting in the verandah for two months.
2015 – Vinny and Manu have school work to do since schools added extra days to the school year to keep students from falling behind the rest of the world. Enjoy!
Situation 7:
Meera is not paying attention in the class.
1980 – Meera looks out the window or plays with her pencil.
2015 – Meera is busy updating her Facebook status and tweeting photos of her teacher that were clicked while he was teaching.

Regarding dates, exchanging of numbers, paying for anything.. just a women going for it first, would you let it slide or feel less masculine
There's a lot of guys who say they wouldn't mind and when the it happens, Just completely reject it
Honestly, would you prefer for the female in this case to make the first move?
Regarding dates, exchanging of numbers, paying for anything.. just a women going for it first, would you let it slide or feel less masculine
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 72
if a girl asked me out and im interested then ill go for it but you best be sure im gonna one up you ten-fold on date number 2 :)43|10|0
I think most people, male or female, like it when people they find attractive make a move on them, and don't like it that much when people they're not attracted to make a move on them.
There are a few men who who don't like forward women. There are a few men and women who lose interest in anyone interested in them.
Most rejections though it was just that the person wasn't interested.73|40|0
My... If op chose male for mh. :-)
It's fine. I've had women make the first move with me, and sometimes I quite liked that. Just keep in mind two basic things...
1. Same rules apply to you, as to guys. If someone politely turns you down for a date, best odds are to just forget it. Don't be a creeper.
2. Don't beat around the bush and try to drop hints continually to "make him ask you out." It's not a great idea. If a guy was interested in asking you out, he would. Beating around the bush is annoying and cowardly... I knew several girls who wanted me and played that game. They were my type enough to ask them out, but if they had had the guts to flat out ask "hey, let's get drinks at xyz on friday" I would've given them a chance.11|00|0
In all cases women shouldn't be afraid to make the first move. Takes a lot of pressure off both people.21|10|0
You women have it really nice. You get chased. After my ex divorcing me after 25 years. Knowing I was made a fool of for all those years. Loving someone more then anything on this planet but finding out she never loved, or even cared about me? that is extrememly hard to get past.
So I told my therapist I would love more then anything for a woman to chase me. For her to make the first move. At least I know her initial interest is genuine.
And it is beyond awesome when the woman kisses me first. I have had that twice since I started dating again. Since I am on the online sites and so many men are just degenerates I stay away from sex and sex talk until the woman brings it up. But I don't think of kissing as sex, it is just fun. And my ex didn't like kissing so I have a lot of time to make up lol...
but through the whole second date I try and think how I can try and kiss her but still not make her think I am just after sex.. yada... then to have them do it first is perfect.
So I urge any woman to go after the guy... they will love it.00|00|0
i remember something about a survey, on guys, about women making the first move (talking first/asking out) and something like 76 percent of guys said that they would prefer it?
I wouldn't mind at all, i think like me a lot of guys fear both rejection and making a fool of themselves.
Frankly, i would pay for dinner (on a first date, in a relationship, i dont care who pays, as long as it kinda swaps, so that its fair?)
swapping numbers? dont really care, its not a big thing, nor is it immasculating
i think it depends on some thing, but in general i dont think that if you were first even to everything, that i would find it particularly immasculating...
but then i dont particularly think about how masuline i am or how feminine you may be,,, im a man, you're a woman, so whatever goes?
maybe just me?11|00|0
Lol your survey sounds like they picked a better group than the last one I read which I think was 86% guys said they prefer to do it bc a womsn asking is too forward:)
by 76% of guys prefer it, i mean 76% of those guys would prefer a woman to make the first move,
i mean, simply saying hi, maybe asking out on a date?
Most guys just dont wanna be rejected i guess, so that want to know if there really is interest, of any sort?
Honesty I had a girlfriend who bought me food, tickets, and gave me rides all through town and I was perfectly fine with it. Just don't make too big of a deal if he wants to do the same to keep a sort of balance.21|10|0
girls should absolutely initiate more often. A lot of time guys are not getting the right signals meaning some girls are not good at giving them to us. my gf now knows exactly what she wants and lets me know in subtle and not so subtle ways. Some times she will say that I would just like to stay home tonight. Other times she might grab a handful of my crotch and say come on lets go, but she also let me know in advance if the "store" will be closed so I dont make a move and get disapointed21|10|0
In my experience, women who have taken the initiative tend to be more willing to participate in the relationship rather than be a "doll" so to speak. In my opinion, the only men who feel emasculated by a women making a move have an old fashion way of thinking. Not to say that that's a bad thing, it's just a distinction in a persons needs in a relationship.10|10|0
I would be scared to make the 1st move. Yeah I am a guy but when you get so many "no's" and you may think she may say yes, but you are not too sure and just tired of it21|10|0
Many men have "approach anxiety." It's only human to be concerned about rejection to some degree. If a girl likes a guy and offers him her phone number without him having to ask for it, it's very positive, in my opinion.
Usually the guy has the responsibility (burden) of planning the date. Call me old-fashioned, but I think the guys should plan the first date and pay for everything. Girls like to feel that they are "special" among other women and an expenditure of time, effort, and money is proof of that serious interest. It's VERY nice on a first date if the girl OFFERS to pay for half. Paying for him is emasculating. Of course, he has to insist on paying for her. But the OFFER is appreciated. On subsequent dates (especially if both of you are young) it's fine to go dutch.
I am older and the women I date make plenty of money but they still want a show of chivalry. So we can agree that if we dine out I pay the check. If we order in it's her turn. Her girl should only pay for the guy for a special occasion, like his birthday, for example.00|00|0
If Iask a guy out I'll feel special if he accepts. I won't feel special if he rejects me Bc I asked him out even if he tries to make up for it later. I'll just think he plays games.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!! just for few things like for exchanging of number then for sex we like to initiate her first , because these two things are most valuable to them they used to give after a good impression on him or trust on him or else they like him, then only they will give these two. Which it will helps us to go for next level.
Then for payment issues and for dating we will initiate it11|00|0
If you're sincere, and the guy likes you and believes you arn't bullshitting him or playing around, he will NOT reject you.
If he doesn't like you, he would reject you.
There is doing it... and doing it right. It is the difference between this that makes it or breaks it.00|00|0
its fine
i actually find it hot if she makes the first move, it shows that she is strong as a person10|10|0
Actually, I'd love to if they do. That means the second move for me is gonna be easier.31|20|0
I prefer if girls initiate, but thats probably because i'm always paranoid of misreading the situation.11|00|0
First off.. I would be very surprised... after I picked myself up off the floor... I would be very flattered.. Never had it happen to me...
I have always been quiet reserved and shy.. so rarely have asked myself.. (prob because of rejection when younger)
I usually find out a year or so later that the girl really liked me and was waiting for me to ask her out and she didn't want to seem pushy..11|00|0
It would be refreshing now and then BUT I know a girl will go for a guy with confidence over a guy without. Having the balls to go over to a girl and chat shows more confidence than waiting for her. So I would rather approach and its not because of the girl, its the competition from the guys. A guy may grab you if I stall to long.11|00|0
Not to bad, some guys may want to do that out of pride. I would because of gentlemanly action (especially or buying things)
It's not a necessity, and neither side should make a big deal out of it.11|00|0
I think its a compliment for a hot chick to make the first move.21|10|0
yes i would love it if a girl asked me out21|10|0
To be honest I would love for women to really start making the first step when it comes to numbers, and dates. I am a shyer type of guy, so that's why i say this. When it comes to dinners or drinks, kind of thing I could suggest exchanges. He pays, then you, then hi again and so on.10|10|0
If a girl made the first move, I would welcome it. Not a lot of girls would do that of course.21|10|0
you right
I've been asked out twice, and was surprised everytime, i really like it, and i feel like i have to respond with the same sort of passion, so i think its good.11|00|0
I love it when a woman is forthright and uninhibited so sure let her feel free to make moves and take control11|00|0
I usually like to pay for dinner and such, but sometimes my fiance will cover it. It just depends on our moods and what we're doing date-wise.11|00|0
Of course, I prefer assertive girls who always make the first move.10|10|0
I honestly wish more women would be able to take the initiative. Would make it a whole lot easier on my end since I'm pretty anxious when it comes to approaching others.
Plus it's a lot easier for me to open up when someone else shows genuine interest initially.00|00|0
To me, the girl making the fist move, whether leaning in for a kiss or asking me on a date, is a big turn on. That would even tip the scales if I was unsure if there was chemistry between us.
As for the girl paying, I prefer being a gentleman and paying, opening doors, walking arm in arm, that kind of thing.10|10|0
I have no objections for a woman to make the first move.11|00|0

What Girls Said 16
I like making the first move # 1 bc like moSt people, it simply makes me feel good to do something and know yiu. An do it and feeks like shit to wait around for soemone else to do it.
# 2 I like to make the first move especially if the guy has an issue with it Bc I want to know upfront that that's the kind of pereon im dealing with. Which isn't obvious as long as he feels like he's the one doing all the work. And few guys would be honEST about it or even know themselves they have an issue with it until it happens.
# 3 I like to make the first move bc it is efficient. IntErSted I want to find out as possible if he's intersted so I can move on if he's not. As apposed to hating and waiting and guessing blech !
#4 It's an adrenaline Rush:)20|20|0

#4 It's an adrenaline Rush:)
It's a huge turn off when I am on a date and the guy can't split things evenly or let me pay because he feels emasculated... Most guys I've talked to would love it if girls felt more comfortable asking for dates and numbers, even if they don't want to date the girl it makes them feel good, just like it would for a girl.21|10|0
Feels good for the girl too... Even if he isn't intersted.:)
women should make the first move as well but most won't and i don't get why. not once in my life i have been rejected41|31|0
If you look at all the people saying women shouldn't that might shed some light on why a lot dont. I think it's not do much the possibility of being rejected by the guy bc he's not intersted, but rather the threat of being rejected socially just for asking him out,
I didn't grow up in that kind of environment so I just think it's crazy when people stress about who asks who... But a lot of people its like the gospel truth... Shane. Must feel stifling.
most girls i know personally are scared of rejection from the guy. i'm not saying what your saying isn't true but in my experience its because the girls are scared of the rejection. i think its so stupid.
I dont think you should do everything yourself. It just doesn't sound right and men will never be comfortable with the idea.
they dont want to be seen in public with a girl who pays for everything even if you were the one who asked for that date.
It sounds to me more like you're babysitting the guy10|12|5
I made the first move with a guy I really liked in high school. Put myself out there told him I liked him. He walked away to smoke a cigarette, I nearly died inside when he did that and when I confronted him maybe 15 minutes after to know what he thinks about what I said he said he liked me he was just in shock. 21 years later we have 3 kids and he drives me crazy in every great way. Sometimes you just have to go for it, it can be worth it ladies.31|20|0
Well Damn! This is so cute
Needed to smoke one coz of the stress lol
I'm more for equality. It would be crap if nobody wants to make the first move and you're just stuck there. We're in the 21st century (checks calendar) , last I checked so it's nothing wrong for a girl to take initiative. Well, if the guy doesn't do anything after some time then he's blah. :310|10|0
I think a woman making the first move is great but letting her pay for the first date is a no no in my eyes.. even if she offers. On some level she'll pay but lose some respect for you and if she doesn't she wants to have the power in the relationship..21|11|0
So? If she wants power why is that worse than him wanting power?
I mean if wanting to pay first means you want control... than following that logic no one should ever pay for anyone else.
(This is my guy friend typing)
It's cool to initiate some things like a date or exchanging numbers, but not paying for things or choosing where to go. You have to let him know that you're capable of doing things for yoyrself, but you are recognizing and allowing him to take control, letting him be masculine.21|10|2
No man likes his testicles taken from him lol
In a guys dream world, it is the female that is hot that should make the first move.10|10|0
I prefer when a guy ask but if I really want to and he's not doing anything i go for it. Sometimes they get nervous and don't want to look stupid.11|00|0
yes that could be good guys are insecure sometimes too.20|20|0
i love doing it, it feels me powerfull20|20|0
I did it and my boyfriend... well yeah, he became my boyfriend, what more do you need?00|00|0
sounds like you should00|00|0
I would but I never really have to
The man should take the first move always00|00|3

A discussion of Trump, neo-fascism, 21st-century imperialism, and war — Interview on CounterPunch Radio
I had the pleasure of doing an interview with CounterPunch Radio host Eric Draitser. We had a lengthy, 86-minute discussion of contemporary US and global politics, far-right President Donald Trump, the rise of neo-fascism, what imperialism looks like in the 21st century, and that topic that never leaves us: war.
Draitser summarizes the episode writing: "This week Eric sits down with journalist Ben Norton to discuss the early days of the Trump Administration: what's happened, what it means, and where it's going. Eric and Ben explore the nature of the new administration, the forces that propelled it into power, and the political and economic circumstances that allowed it to emerge. From there, the conversation probes some uncomfortable questions about the current state of anti-war and anti-imperialist causes, and what that tells us about the political reality of 2017. From the rise of fascism throughout the Western world to the Syria question and the nature of resistance in the era of Trump, Eric and Ben tread some rather uneasy territory in hopes of understanding what we're witnessing around us, and charting a path forward for the Left."
You can listen to it here or on the CounterPunch website.

Gates: Microsoft's smartphone strategy was a "mistake"
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Feb 2013, 17:20
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates was interviewed this morning on CBS' This Morning and said that not gaining leadership in the smartphone industry means that the way that the company went about entering the business was "clearly a mistake," although you have to wonder what steps Microsoft can take at this stage in the game...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
24. JohnnyBravo (Posts: 105; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
How do you know this??? Do me a favor and read up on Ballmer. Love him or hate him the man is a freaking genious! He is very passionate about Microsoft, which is why every once in a while youll find a psycho looking picture of him on the internet when all he is really doing is talking about a new feature of Windows 8 etc.
With that said, I truly believe Microsoft missed the boat with the whole smartphone uprising. They were late in the game that is for sure. The single reason why WP8 hasnt caught on with the masses in my opinion....ugly looking OS! Sorry but its true...go head thumb me down.
26. nikenturd (unregistered)
If he really knew what he was doing...then how come he released the abomination known as Windows 8/WP8? The dude's out of touch with reality
29. papss (unregistered)
I disagree.. W8 and WP8 are nothing close to that..
53. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Abomination? The only Abomination I see is you.
35. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4786; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
While genious and passion aren't mutually exclusive, they don't go hand in hand either. People can be passionate about things without knowing anything about them, just look at some of the comments here on PA. Gates was more tech savvy and Ballmer was more business savvy, which is a similar relationship to that of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook. The thing is being tech savvy doesn't necessarily make you business savvy, and the reverse is true as well. Sorry but I'd be listening to what Gates has to say before Ballmer. Gates doesn't have the charisma or presence that Ballmer has, he's a little OCD and jittery, but when people think tech, they think Gates, Jobs, Wozniak, Rubin, Page, & Brin.

Microsoft should continue to build on the success of their window mobile 6.5 instead they disappear from the smartphone market for a few years. Apple walk into their empty castle and resume the throne.
There nothing wrong with using the stylus and smartphone should increase in productivity with increasing processing power. Just that everyone was taken in by steve jobs reality distortion to believe that finger computing on smart phone is the future.
54. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
WM6.5 was cool and successful but when I jumped to WP7 I was so happy and relieved! No matter how much you ROM danced it would always be slow. While it was better on my Sprint HTC Touch then the newer HTC Touch Pro2 still it slowed down. WP8 builds upon the what WP7 brought to the table. With WP8 though there is the inclusion of Windows NT which opens so many doors and possibilities. It pretty much future proofs the OS. I have a feeling that they are going to really push app sharing between their platforms. Build it for W8 and port it EASY to WP8 or the XBOX. But they could've stuck with the limited WinCE.
63. joey_sfb (Posts: 6631; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
There no need to abandon the platform completely. Microsoft release windows 3.1, 3.11 workgroup, windows 95,98,98SE (16 bit OS before they embrace the true 32 bits OS Win XP.
End User wouldn't know what Kernel is on the phone. Apple win thru the salemanship of steve job.
I have no problem with my windows mobile phone when the phone is running with 256Mb ram, earlyphone model suck due to 128 Mb or below ram.

Microsoft will get huge boost when we start seeing more x86 smartohones, running the very same os on your phone and pc would bring lots of advantages!
37. TheCynicalTechie (Posts: 78; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Yes! I have been saying that since Windows 8 has come out. Microsoft should make a phone and do that now, that would get them on top. Put a small track point on the phone for desktop mode and make a Windows 8 phone with an Intel Atom Bay Trail processor.
38. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
bad idea, surface pro is thicker and heavier than most tablets out there, yet it doesn't have the same battery life as them, translate that to a phone and you get a mess of massive proportions. and thats just a part if the equation
47. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
It really isn't. It's thinner than a number of others (I think even the ipad2? Can't check now), and the battery life is similar other actual computer tablets, NOT those that are mobile-based.
As I've said before, the Surface is Microsoft's Nexus, that is, not the best specced or best value, but good overall.
49. Tux_Alan (Posts: 74; Member since: 30 Jan 2013)
The have been few devices with intep chips up to now, this year and the next will see that change, of course an i5 will drain a mobile battery! Intelnis going places though with the recent improvements on its atom chipset!

It was more about WP7 being late to the game that was the mistake... BUT who reads full articles before responding..

It's interesting, because I kind of see what Microsoft is trying to do in terms of their smartphone startegy. Since Windows on desktop has plenty of OEMs making different PCs, Microsoft wants their smartphone strategy to be the same, essentially. Thing is, a lot of OEMs aren't seeing success with WP like Nokia, but the blame should be the OEMs and not Microsoft. Windows Phone 8 is a great OS and it does offer something fresh to the table. It's just OEMs are so lazy and they don't want to think outside the box when it comes to differentiating themselves. HTC and Samsung can't hide behind Sense and TouchWiz on WP8. Instead, they need to look at what Nokia is doing and offer better hardware and offer services exclusive to their Windows Phones. How hard is that?

Not hard at all. However, it just isn't profitable. Taking away resources from the GS4 money printing machine to work on a Ativ S money losing machine simply is not a good move.
For HTC it might be a good idea but we can't be for certain if HTC is even allowed to mess with the software that much.

Gates knows that Microsoft should have been more aggresive towards marketing a better solution for mobile technology. It's a missed opportunity, and a big mistake, due to being over confident and oblivious to fundamental changes in the industry...
However, WP8 works just fine, and the task now is to advertise and market their way back to the top. Good technology alone simply won't cut it: the success of Apple and Google relates heavily to the amazing advertising and marketing abilities of both companies.

Good advertising yes but ones like Droid rage is a piss poor way of getting your point across. Look at Ben the PC Guy. They need him on every tv channel 24-7! Instead they hired some guy who did negative adds for Oblabla.

So now Microsoft fans will start hatin Bill Gates for admitting the truth... Windows phone is a mistake...?

Their biggest problem on the mobile side: they waited too late to try to answer the iPhone. And maybe iPad. And underestimated the iPhone...probably the iPad too.
They had a shot with the HD2 in 2009 for phones, I dont know what happened. Even with that....Android did come out in 2008. It wasnt as big then. But, the Droid 1 came out about a month before the HD2. That and Verizon's Droid marketing....Android took off after that.
MS waited too long to go to capacitive screens. And when Android was out in 2008 and I also will say 2009....I really feel whatever MS had ready with WP coulda been released and held its own against Android back then. I loaded up Android 1.6 last year on my Droid 1.....WP coulda gave it a run for its money.....even if WP wasnt ready for release.
Apple was ready for the all touch screen era. MS somehow wasnt. iOS was perfect for a touch screen mobile phone; it's a good finger based mobile OS. MS was still doing a hybrid touch/stylus OS, and it was getting old fast. I have been using Android since early 2010. MS shoulda never let Android or the iPhone do what they did.

I think Microsoft should remove the restrictions...
and add user and option to change home screen lock screen with apps and even onscreen keyboard.
the more the no. of apps are created.
android Market mostly consists of themes and live wallpaper which increases the no.of apps

Quick Guide to MLA Style: Home
This guide gives the basic format of Modern Language Association (MLA) Style for citing sources in a Works Cited page. For a complete overview of MLA Style, consult the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers listed below. Although the MLA does not provide a free online version, it has some information at Frequently Asked Questions About MLA Style.
MLA Handbook (8th Edition)
In April 2016 the MLA released the 8th edition of its style handbook. This edition has some significant changes in the formatting of citations, and omits the medium of publication (i.e., "Print" or "Web").
This guide will be updated in the summer of 2016, but will also keep MLA 7 format as the changes for at least the fall semester of 2016. For an overview of the changes, see the MLA's What's New in the Eighth Edition and an overview of the changes on the Purdue OWL MLA site.
MLA Handbook byCall Number: 808.027 M685 2016ISBN: 9781603292627Publication Date: 2016-04-01The Modern Language Association, the authority on research and writing, takes a fresh look at documenting sources in the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook. Works are published today in a dizzying range of formats. A book, for example, may be read in print, online, or as an e-book--or perhaps listened to in an audio version. On the Web, modes of publication are regularly invented, combined, and modified. Previous editions of the MLA Handbook provided separate instructions for each format, and additional instructions were required for new formats. In this groundbreaking new edition of its best-selling handbook, the MLA recommends instead one universal set of guidelines, which writers can apply to any type of source. Shorter and redesigned for easy use, the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook guides writers through the principles behind evaluating sources for their research. It then shows them how to cite sources in their writing and create useful entries for the works-cited list. More than just a new edition, this is a new MLA style.

Received one of these shotguns today, and basically it is a Remington 870 clone made in China...for the parent company of H&R as well Marlin.... Remington. The Partner Pump has some rough spots on it, but for the price of $199.00 it is a good little gun. It is set up to be a personal defense (house) shotgun with a plain 18.5" barrel,bead sight, 5- shot capacity, synthetic stocks, and no glare finish.
I fired a bunch of rounds through this shotgun... Hornady TAP, and Critical Defense buckshot...( that are really the best on the market when it comes to self defense buckshot loads). Recoil was well within reasonable limits.... the butt stock seems a little short, but that is common on guns produced in most Asian countries. Also as with many of the less expensive shotguns made in China these clones can also have the common defect in the trigger assembly where the slide gets locked. This usually shows up in the first three to four rounds of ammunition fired. I have seen this happen in Mossberg, Escort, and many made by Hawk industries. It can happen in any pump shotgun. If you fire a full magazine of ammunition through the gun, and have no problems you are going to be fine. The shotgun I shot today was a replacement for one that locked up, and had to be returned.
If you are in need of a good inexpensive shotgun for the truck or house ... the H&R Partner Protector fills the bill just fine.

The analytics of search with posted prices
This paper investigates the characteristics of the optimal posted price in the standard sequential search paradigm. Much of the intuition gleaned from the extensive sequential search literature in which the seller adopts a reservation price does not carry over to the posted price setting. For example, an increase in buyer valuations can lead to a reduction in the optimal posted price. We do, however, provide sufficient conditions on the hazard rate function h which ensure that an increase in demand induces an increase in the optimal posted price. As exhibited herein, the analysis of the posted price model depends critically upon analytical properties of h. Amongst the issues treated are the elasticity of demand, finite horizon, sale of multiple units, and competitive equilibrium.

Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Have 'Teen Vogue' Covered (PHOTOS)
Cory Monteith and Lea Michele seem to be popping up everywhere these days—including the December/January cover of Teen Vogue, on sale November 23.
The Glee co-stars teamed up for a sassy photo-shoot lensed by photographer Regan Cameron, and also spilled on a variety of topics, including the perils of fame in the modern world. Notes Monteith,
"I see the people in the tabloids, the ones that get bad press, who have kind of gone off the edge, and I try to study them so that I don't do that."
Michele adds,
"These days you can become famous for a lot of things, but ours comes from being part of something that's so important."
Indeed. Hit up the photo gallery for a taste of Cory and Lea's Teen Vogue appearance. Want even more photos and outtakes from their shoot? Click here to see them on TeenVogue.com. And for more of Monteith and Michele's Teen Vogue Q&A interview, click here.

Court gives preliminary OK to WellPoint settlement
A California court has granted preliminary approval to a lawsuit settlement over an online security breach of health insurer WellPoint Inc.'s records.
WellPoint said that last summer it notified 470,000 individual insurance customers that medical records, credit card numbers and other sensitive information may have been exposed in a security breach involving a program used to track coverage applications. Company officials have said the problem was fixed about 12 hours after the insurer learned about it.
A statement from a plaintiff's attorney involved in the case said Monday that the settlement will offer two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft insurance to eligible class members. The attorney said an investigation found few unauthorized viewings of the Web site.
WellPoint said Monday in a separate statement that it believes most of the people who manipulated the website to gain access were attorneys researching possible litigation over the security breach. The insurer told customers about the breach last year and offered some free credit monitoring then.
WellPoint, based in Indianapolis, is the largest commercial health insurer based on membership, with more than 34 million members. It runs Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in 14 states and Unicare plans in several others.
WellPoint shares fell 71 cents to $74.19 in afternoon trading.

Specialties & Expertise
Dr. William Smith has the following 1 area of expertise and 1 specialty.
Anesthesiologists are physicians who are trained to administer anesthetics, which are medicines used to block nerve sensation. Anesthesia can be either local to one specific part of a body, like a tooth, or regional to block feeling to a larger portion of the body, such as during an epidural for child birth. It can also be more general to block sensation to the entire body, resulting in unconsciousness.
Anesthesiologists assist in surgery by determining how much anesthesia is necessary and by monitoring the patient's level of responsiveness and vital signs throughout the procedure. The anesthesia specialist will also bring the patient out of anesthesia and then continue to monitor his or her vital signs post-operation.
Besides assisting in surgeries, anesthesiologists may also treat patients suffering from chronic pain.

Is this possible, please?
I would like to set up a one page 'Dutch Auction' website using WordPress. The auction would run for 7 days with the price dropping by, say, £25 each day.
The 3 elements I need on the page are as follows:-
A plug in or widget that will show the new lower price each day.
A countdown timer that will count down for 24 hours then reset to start again for the next 24 hours and so on.
A link to PayPal.
Because the first person to offer the asking price wins the auction, is there any way that when they click the PayPal button to pay, a message would be screened showing the auction is over and the countdown would be stopped preventing anyone else from bidding? Or am I asking for the impossible?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

|Re: FAQ Hibernate and JDO
|Thu, 07 Aug 2003 21:45:26 GMT
Hibernate can be pluggable, but it cannot be redistributed with Geronimo. The licensing for a plugin that plugs Hibernate into Geronimo is a bit harder to judge :) For example, Maven ships with a plugin for Hibernate. It is licensed under the Apache Software License, and yet taking the current thoughts on LGPL in a low-risk way suggests that this plugin might have to be shipped as LGPL.

$ sudo cicsadd -c td -r test1 DTST ProgName="test01"
ERZ057001E/0058: Cannot access message catalog cics.cat for message ERZ046091I
Please check if NLSPATH or LANG variable is set

Re: passing NLSPATH through sudo2011-05-19T05:17:42ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.You can possibly try creating a soft link of cics.cat(/usr/lpp/cics/msg/<LANG>) under /usr/lib/nls/msg/<LANG>/ and check if it works.
