ScreamPrompt #33, March 2013 + other info belowThis is gonna be a quick one because I'm busy with my new job and working out the details for my script.Next month will be more challenging when I'm actually writing the script and work issues will be more calm.Inspired by the fact that this exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_%28novel%29 -- I want to see how you guys handle something along similar lines. But I'm going to make it a little easier on you all.Write a 500 word vignette without using the word "and".Vignette: a vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, idea, setting, or object.500 means 500.Any topic, any genre.Due on March 31, 2013.Send me the link in a note here or at my personal page. other information for you all i have just started a new job (that was three months in the waiting for) that is taking up about 50+ hours a week of my time, if not more in the coming month. i am also going to be w
ScreamPrompt #27, August 2012 + group changes!We're gonna do something a little different. Here's the prompt for the month: Write a story. It should be at least 1000 words but no more than 2000. It can be a vignette or a short story. It can be any genre. It can be any POV. Hell, it can even be in 2nd person! It can't be that easy.You're right. You can't use any adverbs. Remember where you are. Lolwut? No adverbs?There are many types of adverbs and uses; the following information is a quick overview. Read through that and then I will explain further what I am looking for. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THE SOURCES LISTED BELOW because I don't want to just copy-paste from them and they will explain more in-depth than I want to get into here; this is a prompt, not a workshop.Sources:http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/adverbs.htmhttp://
ScreamPrompt #34, April 2013 I'm posting this early because of reasons.Hi! Gonna keep this one simple for those of us who are (or are not) participating in Script Frenzy, Napowrimo or Camp Nano as well...(remember -- simple doesn't always mean easy)I saw something at Tumblr that I thought I'd bring here just for the lulz (May, I promise, will bring pain again) and wanted to utilize it.Work the phrase "not since the accident" into some dialogue by the main character within the first 250 words of the story.Here are the guidelines to follow to keep things on track:1. Must be a minimum of 2000 words, max 3000.2. The main character has a horrible secret that is related to the "accident" they speak of. The more creative the accident, the better.The secret cannot be that the main character is lying about the accident having even occurred. Yeah, car accident leaps to mind first. Stop. Accidents are everywhere. Not everyone gets "hurt" in an accident. Think about what an accident
ScreamPrompt #32, February 2013So yeah, we're gonna do something love-related for this month... everyone loves or hates or is apathetic about Valentine's Day and I thought I already wrote this out but I didn't so I'm not prepared and it's the 1st already!But I have the idea...Ready?Write a story about something you* love so much and want so bad but can't have it.*You can be either yourself (1st person POV) or an MC (3rd person), either is fine. Emphasis on the word "something". IT CANNOT BE ANOTHER LIVING BEING. IT HAS TO BE AN INANIMATE OBJECT OR CONCEPT!! And give us a cool/funny/mind-blowingly wtf or sad reason why it is out of reach.Why?One, because it's my group (but it's here for you). There are, I'm sure, other prompt groups out there doing the same old thing because they are the same old thing. You're here because you want something else. Two, because writing about unrequited love is boring and I don't want to read it or su
ScreamPrompt #41, December 2013Inspired by LiliWrites.The Sagittarius PromptIt's a frickin' Who's Who of writers: Mark Twain, C.S.

ScreamPrompt #31, January 2013 + new video NEW VIDEO! Planning vs Not Planning http://youtu.be/IbjqtyKJCAMWhen I'm looking through books in a brick and mortar store, I flip to the middle of a book for some reason and then put it on the shelf as if I ever had any intention of buying it (I don't know what compels me to buy a book anymore, to be honest). HOWEVER...When I am here at deviantART, our supercool scrolling thumb feature allows me to see the first sentence of a story and make the determination on whether or not I want to continue reading. That said... I don't read much around here. Why?Boy, rhetoric is fun. We know why.I don't judge a book by its cover but goddamn I will judge a story by its first line. It's called a "hook" for a reason. No one wants to read your story if your opening sentence isShe heard a bird chirp outside her window; slowly, she opened her eyes and yawned, the winged animal acting as her alarm clock.Nothing there to c
ScreamPrompt #29, October 2012 + sermon + #1 videoThe ConceptWrite a story about something that was better left unsaid but was actually spoken. Yes, I'm phoning this one in because phoning it in is better than skipping out on my responsibilities. I'd rather phone in a prompt than not post one at all. I am not happy about this but I think there can be some good results because you guys are smart and talented. You can think of this one as a softball or a breather all you want, won't change the fact that I'll come back with something to kick your butts later on. Word count minimum is 2000. No vignettes/single scenes. Any POV, any genre. It is due at the end of October.New SermonPlease read it.

ScreamPrompt #28, September 2012In the hopes of maybe spurring more than 14 of you to write a story for the group this month... I'm going to have to do something drastic. I'm expecting stories from each of you because there is no excuse for not doing the following: I feel like making you all get introspective and personal. We're familiar with the tired advice of "write what you know", so that's what we're gonna do this month. There is no way there should be any stragglers with this one. You all know something, right? Think of a word/adjective you don't like being called. Tell a story about someone (NOT YOU) fitting this adjective. Something bad should happen to them that should teach them a lesson and they end up redeeming themselves in the end.What word/adjective you don't like being called? For me, that would be "princess". In the past, the guys in the kitchen would call me that and I'd have no ide
ScreamPrompt #45, May 2014This one is dedicated to those who are always chasing the perfect character... Write a story from the point of view of the family pet.There are two options:1. The pet can be the main character (and the only pet in the household)2. The pet observes their "owner" but the actions and decisions the owner makes affect the petThings to consider:The pet itself.What kind of pet? Was it a rescue or a result from a pet-olympian breeder system? Did it adopt the family? The mind of a mutt is different than the mind of a specific dog breed. And Siamese cats are much different from Ragdolls. What would their "personalities" be?And no, we're not anthropormorphizing them, either. No pets may talk to their owners. Owners can obviously talk to the pets but there are no exchanges of dialogue between them. The use of italics for the pet's thoughts are acceptable if needed.What about exotics?Not
Keep It Colloquial - Contest!Yup, it's time for another contest and there are riches to be had, my good people. Well, there are points up for grabs. Wanna play? Yes, thought so. Ok, here we go: Keep It Colloquial, that's the theme. I wanna read poems (or even prose, but y'all know I prefer poetry) about where you're from. I like writing about the South, so that's kinda where this idea came from. Err well, it actually came to me after posting my cow poem. So if you need an example, then here: ...but I want better than this! This wouldn't win the contest because:1) I'm not eligible for my own contest. See how fair I'm being?2) It's not clear that it's about the South. It just sorta kinda gives a notion. I'd like a bit more clarity from you guys.3) I'm over cow poems.The little green bullets: Give me imagery: I wanna be able to se
Transgressions #3: Truth'Man is not what he thinks he is; he is what he hides.' ― André MalrauxEveryone lies, from little omissions of fact to harmless white lies to full-on deception. We lie to strangers, friends and family, ourselves. Sometimes we don't even know we're doing it. These lies become secrets which eventually become a sort of truth all on their own. We may not even be aware there is a secret there, but it affects us, shapes us, determines events and outcomes far down the line from when the initial thing came into being. '[M]ost people would never know them, but they know there are spaces, gaps where the answers should be, where someone should have sat, where someone used to be. A name that is never uttered, or uttered just once and never again. We all have our secrets.'

Workshopping with Rasp: Part 1 of 3Here it is, as promised. Keep in mind that even though I do not have formal training as a writer, these are the things I keep in mind when writing my characters. I have had varying levels of success here at dA and you are free to use my ideas or not. I'm not claiming to know it all, the below is not gospel and it's not guaranteed. But you never know. Comments are appreciated, haters are welcome. How to Create Compelling CharactersI can't speak for everyone but I read for compelling characters. If the characters really move me, the plot can be as thin as it wants; though it's not always easy to have characters carry the whole thing if nothing is happening. Where do we find compelling characters? In books, of course, but they're obviously not confined to books. Compelling characters in movies are just as important. Unless you're doing improv, plays and movie
Maim Your Protagonist Halloween ContestYou create them. You love them. You nurture them. You literarily give them the world as their playground. And then you put them through hell. Here at lacoterie we want to see exactly how rough you can be on your protagonists, and, in honour of Halloween, we're bringing you a contest to do just that. The Rules Protagonist must be maimed in course of narrative. 55-1000 words, prose. No obvious maiming - i.e. legs, arms, heads*. Maiming must cause some sort of problem for protagonist (i.e. it can be a papercut, but that papercut better do a helluva lot of work to impact the narrative. like. earth-shattering epic papercut). Protagonist must hate themselves at the end. There are more ways to cause injury than harming the body. Incorporate a wedding (in honour of TwilightPoetess); how you incorporate it is entirely up to you, but it needs to be in there somewhere. Must
Louder Than dA Bomb POETRY SLAM + Comment Below!If you cannot participate for the awesome prize pool, see the bottom of this journal for a possible reward.A few days ago Elocutionists received a huge helping of prize donations for an unnamed contest the likes and scale of which have never been seen on deviantART before. What is it, you ask?It's a slam. A poetry slam. And it's Louder Than dA Bomb.A poetry slam is a "no holds barred" spoken word competition. Poets are encouraged to alliterate, rhyme, shout, whisper, zing, compliment, parody, satirize, improvise, recite, quote, play with words and even sing if the opportunity arises.For the longest time the Elocutionists team have wanted to hear the roaring voice of literature, and this month we don't want to hear just any spoken word for a chance at prizes— NO! We want to listen to a writer's passion, emotion, and drive to keep being who they are; their inspiration to keep writing as they will and we want to hear you que

Untitled is just a synonym for lazy.Well, the color poem form I introduced to dA was a rousing success, but interest of late seems to have died down. So I'm back with a new form for you all, something exciting and new, something different, something that I will probably make into a contest once I get some points in the bank.

We're still in set-up mode, so excuse the plainness for now.Found Poetry Project - Titles as ArtOne of my favorite things about the creative process is coming up with a good title. The title can make or break a piece; it can give context not provided in the piece itself, set a tone or mood, or just give that little extra something you can't put a name on.You know I'm right. How many times have you stumbled into an ordinary piece with a beautifully creative title? And it's not something
ScreamPrompt #35, May 2013I'm so fried from work that I can't even stand it. However, I have a duty to you all to not phone in lame prompts. So here we go.I'm going to give you all a list of ten numbers. With the number, there will be a noun/concept/element assigned. You are to write a story using all ten nouns/concepts/elements. Use them in any way you see fit. My advice is to not go with the first thing that pops to mind, but that is always my advice when brainstorming. The more interesting ideas that you attach to the nouns/elements/concepts (in addition to the way you use them), odds are the more interesting and vivid your story will be. So take a little time to get the ideas down that you want to give the nouns/concepts/elements and then plan the story. What I'd do is come up with as many ideas as you can and see if something starts to lead you to what you want to write.I am hoping to squeeze in some time between editing my script and working and groceries and laundry to write this one.

Air Jordan Sky High – January 2011 Colorways
January 11th, 2011 by John Kim | 5 comments
Jordan Brand brought back the Jordan Sky High last year, which seemed like a particularly interesting course of action because of the prominent swoosh on the upper. Then again, the Air Jordan 1 and its swoosh has seen about 1,001 different colorways over the years. For January 2011, Jordan Brand is going the lifestyle route with these two all new colorways of the Sky High; one features perforated synthetic leather on the upper in a grey and hot red colorway, while the second canvas pair combines a gritty tan and neon green. Eastbay has these available for a shipdate of this Saturday, January 11th, so take a look at the detailed images of both new colorways after the jump.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son attended Trinity Lutheran for the 6th grade. 2002-2003. I did not feel that the schoolwork that he was given was adequate for his grade level. He was missing homework and no one ever informed me. They had two different telephone numbers and my e-mail address. I made several visits to the school and was there for every parent/teacher conference and I still was not informed if homework was missing or a test had been failed. When you are paying for your child to go to school you expect better service than that. I hope that they have improved since then.
Trinity Lutheran school provides a good family and church connection. The small family setting provides for your chilf to flosish in a warm and understanding environment. If you are looking for a bautiful school in apperance this is not the place for yoy! If you want caring ,love, educational quality and spiritual teachings then this is the school for your child!
Trinity provides an excellent Christ-centered education. Students are well rounded as teachers adhere to a high standard of excellence. The small school environment fosters a true sense of 'The Trinity Family'.

Rose/Pink Quartz | Heart & Root
Got some rose quartz in the mail in a surprise package from my best friend this week. Rose quartz strongly promotes love in all aspects of life: self-love, romantic/sexual love, family love. Some people say the effects can be so strong in the romance department that you may need amethyst to calm things down (…obviously haven't experienced that, as I'm sitting here alone eating cookies and watching Hocus Pocus). However, though it seems like it would be used exclusively for healing the heart chakra, I've found that rose quartz helps me balance my root chakra by alleviating some anxiety. It made me feel very calm, safe, and serene. Many people use it to help face and heal emotional and sexual trauma. It's best worn over the heart, or placed by the bed.
Second image credit. First image unknown.
I love my rosé quartz.

(via rune-midgarts)108906 - reblog
two millennials are barreling towards adulthood at 95 miles per hour. one of them has been coated with the most extravagant paint money can buy, but their steering apparatus is locked up until that coat's paid off; the other's breaks have been ripped out mid-trip, the thief yelling, "what, did you think you were entitled to these?" over their shoulder. half the tracks have been torn away to build second, third, and fifth garages for trains that are no longer running. solve for x.
tell me again how the song goes — i'm so inadequate i might forget. if we're not informed enough then we're apathetic morons, but if we're too informed we're oversensitive reactionaries; if we think we deserve more then we're narcissistic cutthroats, but if we're happy where we are then we're passionless layabouts. if we're making money then we're materialistic automatons who only care about stuff and don't value the important things in life, but if we're broke then we're disgusting, spoiled children who expect everything in life to be a handout. if we spend too much time with technology then we're antisocial, soulless zombies who spell the end for human interaction as we know it, but if we spend too much time together we're a dangerous, unstable element who should get real jobs already. we're a disgrace; we're a embarrassment; we're a mistake; we're a disappointment; we're not what you wanted, however you slice it, and all of it's our fault, right? right? oh, god, am i getting the melody wrong?
here's what i propose, everyone who wants to open their twenty-four-hour news cycles or their pork-barrel mouths, who wants to use their filthy fucking hands to tear this generation a new one: you try it. you come up with a picture of the generation you seem to want: one that's neither apathetic nor engaged, one that's neither ambitious nor content, one that's neither rich nor poor, one that's neither technologically connected nor interpersonally involved. don't forget to factor in the variables — the years of economic instability; the globalization of everything from communication to art; the hugely stratified individual experiences we've had based on things like race, sexuality, gender, and socioeconomics, on things that come with whole histories of systemic bullshit; the overwhelming burden of student debt that so many of us face; the fact that hindsight is 20/20. you write the formula for the millennial that will shut you the fuck up about all the things we should be and aren't, about all the ways we've failed you, and then you bring it to me. i promise you, i will try it. anything for a little peace and quiet, right? anything to stop hearing it everywhere i go: that voice saying that, at twenty-three, i might already have flunked out of life.
(both millennials crash, spectacularly and yelling for help, into the station that never built a platform for them to pull into. onlookers stand by and shake their heads, wondering about the deplorable state of trains today. that's what happens when nobody does the fucking math.)

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Bee House Teapot: It's perfect
We use our teapot everyday and love it. We have had this Bee House teapot for years and it is simply the absolute perfect size. It has a built in loose tea holder for when we go the fancy route, or we can just pop in a bag of Trader Joe's organic green (our current favorite).
Made in Japan, these pots are available in a glorious array of colors. A quick run through the dishwasher keeps it looking exactly as it did the day we brought it home.
3 Comments
Do you use this teapot for heating the water or simply for serving?
I use a kettle to heat the water and use this one for brewing and serving. In fact, I'm using it right now...
The metal lid and interior tea holder lift right off so you could put this in the microwave, if you wanted to heat your water that way.
A teapot is only as good as what it holds inside. :)
That being said, I like to fill my Beehouse with oolong teas from Ten Ren or blended French teas from Le Palais Des Thes.

...Oil Mist Generator (OMG)
Search this site
The Corona OMG system
produces an oil mist / fog of a consistent particle size and distribution
throughout a wide range of pressures.
independently heated and temperature controlled oil reservoir ensures that
the oil under
test is at a constant viscosity.
Adjustment of
the particle size from 0.2
micron mmd is possible
via a precision mixing valve regulator.
Oil mist / fog from the OMG can be passed through flexible ducting if required using optional ducting adaptors (1, 2 and 3 available), or alternatively an extended nozzle can be fitted to allow entry into a pressurized system.It uses an oil based fluid and inert gas, either CO2 or Nitrogen, as a propellant. A short burst of propellant purges the machine of any fluid residue at the end of each operating cycle.
The OMG is equipped with a wired remote control. Wireless remote available as an optional extra.
Principles of Operation
The oil mist / fog media is stored in the OMG in a heated pressure tank, the temperature of which can be controlled to ensure a consistent and appropriate oil viscosity. Temperature control of the reservoir is via its own PID microprocessor controller, allowing independent control from ambient to 70°C
A mixture of oil and inert gas is then passed through the precision, machine heat exchanger chamber. The oil is vaporized, and the
resulting vapor condenses on exiting the heat exchanger to form a dense, controllable oil mist / fog.
Corona's CFC180 Oil mist / fog has been extensively tested by independent bodies, including the Health and Safety Executive to ensure that it is non toxic and non flammable, Copies of the Health and Safety Data Pack are available on request. However, risk assessments should be carried out prior to the use of other "oil types" through the OMG.
Inert Gas Supply
Corona recommends that only approved CO2 or Nitrogen gas is used as a propellant.
Note !
Compressed air should not be used. It contains Oxygen and hence the risk of forming a flammable aerosol is increased.

Dzhumagaliev wore a vicious set of metal teeth.
He was caught in 1981 and accused of killing seven prostitutes, although it is believed that he may have killed as many as one hundred.
He was a cannibal, and sometimes served his victims to unwitting friends.
Eventually he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and spent some thirty years in mental facilities before being released.

New Brunswick's Soricimed finds potential cancer cure in shrew venom, needs cash infusion to continue research
(506) 872-218; firstname.lastname@example.com
Drug and diagnostic development
Seven years in business, started by trapping shrews in founder's back yard.
The northern short-tailed shrew punches way above its weight.
Not only is the mouse-sized, pointy-faced animal a rare venomous mammal, it may also host a cure for certain types of cancer.
A New Brunswick company, Soricimed Biopharma, is trying to bring that cure to market. But, like the shrew, it must face the reality of diminutive appearances. Located in a tiny New Brunswick town and associated with a university not known for medical research, the pint-sized company is struggling to have its voice heard on the international market—and attract the funds it needs to keep working towards a cancer cure.
Jack Stewart—formerly a biochemistry professor at New Brunswick's Mount Allison University—founded Soricimed after he accidentally discovered the potential power of soricidin, the chemical in shrew venom that causes paralysis in the animal's prey.
He wanted to isolate the compound to use as pain medication, so he and other researchers set out to trap shrews in his backyard.
The animals proved elusive.
"Eventually we found the little beasts went mad over pepperoni sausage, the cheapest No-Name brands we could find," Stewart says.
Once he got the animals to the lab, Stewart needed cells to initiate tests. He says the first ones available were ovarian cancer lines being researched by a colleague. He dosed them with soricidin, and they died.
Stewart knew he had something, so to commercialize the discovery he co-founded his company with president and CEO Paul Gunn in 2005. It turns out that soricidin prevents calcium from entering tumours, bringing about the destruction of cancer cells. This discovery has far-reaching implications, but the company is focusing on the treatment of ovarian, breast, and prostate cancer, as well as a blood test that can detect Stage I cancer.
The research is already advanced—phase 1 of human clinical trials starts in June and should wrap up by the end of the year. That will eat up an estimated $2.5 million of the $10.5 million in funding Soricimed has raised so far.
And further tests will be much more expensive. Gunn estimates phase 2 trials could run between $4 million and $30 million, and phase 3 upwards of $100 million. Plus, the company has already spent $342,000 on patents in the U.S., Canada and around the world.
But New Brunswick is short on both venture capital and public funding. It had the lowest Canadian Institutes of Health Research (the federal body that funds health research) investment of any province in 2009-10—only $1.46 per capita, compared to $26.03 for Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Gunn says the province simply doesn't have a platform to support the life sciences.
"Biotech in New Brunswick is centred around work on trees, potatoes or fish," he says.
To move forward, Soricimed needs a serious cash injection that simply isn't possible at home. So, Stewart and Gunn are looking to either partner with a large pharmaceutical company, or sell their business outright.
"People say, 'You can't be serious, doing this in New Brunswick,'" says Gunn. "We've spent considerable time getting over the image of being someplace you shouldn't be."
Soricimed's location—with the business office in Moncton and labs in Sackville, a tiny town about 45 minutes south-east of the city—may pose a marketing problem, but it hasn't hampered the research.
"We have a virtual business model. From an operating point of view, we don't need to be anywhere else," says Gunn. "We can have work done wherever the expertise lies."
And, he says, now is the time to become visible on the world stage.
The company is making the rounds at trade shows and looking to hire a communications and marketing specialist. Stewart, the chairman and chief science officer, has booked speaking engagements to get the word out. In addition, Soricimed has retained a business development group, Partner International, to create white papers and make initial contacts with biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the Americas, Europe, and Japan.
"We've started to generate significant interest," says Gunn.
A targeted approach to sales and marketing is essential, says Veronika Litinski, senior advisor at MaRS Discovery District, a Toronto-based entrepreneurial support organization.
Soricimed should figure out which businesses are compatible with their technical approach. Pharmaceutical companies tend to build franchises in specific areas, and they're likely to look for new medicine based on similar technology, says Litinski.
Next, it's important to reach out to the right people.
"Find the champion in the research and development group, and the R&D group will take it to the business development group," she says.
Soricimed already has champions in the form of research partners. The company outsources work to labs all over Canada, such as the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute, the BC Cancer Agency, the University Health Institute in Toronto, and National Research Council labs in Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax. Plus they have additional partners around the globe. Not only does this build credibility, it also cuts down on massive overhead costs.
Litinski says choosing the right partners can have a huge impact on company's dilemma. She suggested the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, which has a commercialization program.
"A lot of pharmaceutical industry people are affiliated with OICR, and it would lead to useful feedback and possibly even investments," she says.
But, says Litinski, the data has to speak for itself.
Gunn says that won't be a problem.
"We have world-class scientists with potential for global significance. Once we get people interested," he says, "the location disappears."

According to new research, kids aren't looking online for porn -- and it's all because of social networking sites.
Worried your teen is visiting smutty porn sites when you're not home? Well here's good news: Teen usage of online porn sites has dropped significantly, thanks to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
According to Bill Tracer, author of "Click: What Millions of People are Doing Online and Why It Matters," searching for porn had dropped to about 10% of searches from 20% a decade ago, and the hottest Internet searches now are for social networking sites like Facebook.
Analyzing web searches doesn't just reflect what's happening online but it also gives a bigger picture of society and people's behavior. Tracer says it's not because interest in sex has dropped, but because teens just don't have time to indulge -- they're too busy socializing online.
What do you think? Is this a good thing?

'3 Idiots' (2009)
Hat-trick from Hirani; '3 Idiots' once again proved that Aamir Khan knows the turf he treads. Hire him, and he also does some generous publicity for you as his fancy-dress-trips to the Indian hinterland proved. '3 Idiots' was unpretentious fun. The box office is still bursting at its seams, and for all practical purposes, '3 Idiots' will be the biggest hit of the year.

I would like to have your help on the following point :
I am using Mapguide Enterprise 2011 (demo version). My data (point measures basically) reside in a Postgres Postgis database.
My goal is to develop a query interface whereby the user would enter parameters defining a sql query (For example I would like measures in the water looking at the Chrome concentration from period start to end). This will then give me a result table that I would like to plot in the MapGuide mapframe (from the Postgis Geom field).
How can I plot such a layer in Mapguide ?
I have been trying to look at the 'change_layer_via_dom' example but it seems that I can only edit filters, not really create new points. Then I looked at the 'create_new_point_layer_definition' example but I am not sure it is the right track.
I ve been avoiding the fusion widget development because I am not really javascript competent but any option on that side is also welcome ! Am easy !
Any help would be appreciated !
Thanks ! Lot's !

Questions to Ask Your Paid Adoption Searcher
Reuniting with your family members can be a difficult and arduous journey. For some, the search is simple, quick, and easy. For others, it is a process-a long process, at that. Whether hiring a private detective is the first option on your list or the last option, here are some common questions to inquire about before settling on one private detective over another. What resources will be used? Find out what methods he or she regularly employs to get the job done. Are you comfortable with all the methods or resources that may be used? Your private investigator should be able to talk in depth about each resource. Not only should you be comfortable with it, he or she should also be confident… [more]
Adoption Calendar and Cards Make Great Gifts
Visit http://members.cox.net/patrickm/enter.html to view the coming year's calendar as well as a selection of greeting cards. The calendar and cards capture in words and images some of the unique ideas, thoughts, and feelings involved in adoption which are so often difficult to express, and they feature some excellent photography, as well as a caption for each photo for each month. The calendar is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 folded, 8 1/2 x 11 hanging and is priced at $14 each. They make great gifts for yourself or anyone you know involved in adoption, whether adoptee, birthparent, adoptive parent, relative, friend, or adoption-related professional. They also make statements that may need to be heard by members of your community, such as local social service organizations… [more]
Waiting is the Hardest Part
Searching and waiting seem to go hand in hand. Waiting really is the hardest thing to do. One example is that when you contact the adoption agency that handled your adoption you have to wait to hear back from them. If you are a natural parent you are waiting to hear if your child has been in contact with them and if you are an adoptee you are waiting to hear if your natural parent has been in contact with them but also your non identifying information. If you are a natural parent who can initiate a search or an adoptee who is making contact through the agency you often times have to wait for a response of some… [more]
Being Involved in Your Search
There are many search angels out there and I applaud each and everyone for the amount of time they volunteer to the search efforts that they do. On the flip side though I have seen search angels doing all the searching and making contact and then things go up in some because it was all done for them. It is so important that triad members searching be involved in their own search and not just turn it over to a search angel. The reason I say this is because it helps the person who is searching to be aware of what is involved and appreciate the work the wonderful search angels provided. It also keeps the anticipation level at a high… [more]
Respecting Others Online
When participating in an online mailing list or forum there are few guidelines that I believe are important in order to get the most of the participation. When you enter into a discussion with another person or group of people, opinions unlike your own may be expressed. Everyone has a right to his/her own opinion and people are more likely to listen when it is expressed respectfully. It is important to voice your thoughts and ideas in a non confrontational manner and to respond to other opinions with respect. You may want to consider not immediately responding to a post or an email. You may want to consider writing a response but waiting to hit the send button, return to… [more]
Don't Miss the Joy
Adoption is a multi-dimensional experience with aspects, good, bad and somewhere in between. It is inevitable at times to get mired in the complicated issues that adoption may present to us. Nowhere is this more applicable than at reunion. There are issues to work on at reunion generally for both parties. For birth parents, it is common for them to be grieving their loss during reunion. Either they did not grieve enough initially or at all for various reasons. Our society has only recently even acknowledged that loss is present for birth parents and adoptees. Most birth parents do find themselves grieving their loss at the same time that their child comes back into their life. Some birth parents have been… [more]
Search Tips – Part 2
The Social Security Administration has a free locator service. Even if you don't know the person's social security number, but you know the person's complete date of birth and the last name is not too common, ask Social Security to forward your letter to the person. Social Security will not acknowledge receiving your letter, but you can send it by certified return receipt mail for proof of receipt. Neither will Social Security inform you that your letter has been forwarded to the person, but the person can reply to you directly. This resource has paid off for some. The word "adoption" and adoption-related terms such as "birth parent" tends to close doors. You need to indicate a specific humanitarian purpose or "for… [more]
Search Tips – Part 1
One of the first things that you want to do when initiating a search is obtain the adoption disclosure law and procedure for the state in which your adoption was finalized. Begin with a list of all known names, dates, and places. Write down every bit of subsequent information obtained no matter how trivial; you never know what may become important once you have more pieces to the puzzle. Always provide anyone helping in your search with a copy. Talk to relatives and others who may remember something that could help your search. If you know the party's church affiliation, obtain the congregational directory. Check with the pastor and regular church members. Your neighborhood Postmaster has access to forwarding addresses, can exchange… [more]
Adoption Searchers – Update and Try Again! – Part 2
Check with the agency to determine if the party that you are searching for has been in touch with them. Unfortunately, many birth parents do not know to do this. If you haven't already done so, ask that a letter or form be included in your file indicating that you want contact. Some agencies have a specific form for this procedure called a "Consent for Contact", or a "Waiver of Confidentiality" can be filed. In states where it is allowed, some agencies now will undertake searches, generally for a fee. This is governed by state laws, however, and only some state laws will allow this practice. Many of the larger agencies particularly now have "post-adoption" resources which are in place to… [more]
Where to Look for Information and Web Links
One of the questions I have received many times through out my experience in the adoption community is from those who are searching and wanting to know where to go look for information. Below is where you can find much information that is public record. Depending on the state and/or county in which you are searching, information may be accessible on line via the internet. Local Records—Courthouse Marriage, divorce, veteran, property owners, assessors, probate, recorder of deed, judgments, lawsuits, liens, criminal, and business licenses Public Library Reference Section Death notices, school yearbooks, city or suburban directories, crisscross directories, microfilm, state room, genealogy reference materials, birth records, census records, old newspapers, and periodicals State Records Birth certificates, death certificates, driving records, vehicle registration, military enlistment/discharges, professional licenses, and corporation records State Archives Census… [more]

New road in Rutland Town could alleviate Route 7 trafficBy Courtney Parker
STAFF WRITER | October 21,2013Rutland Town officials are looking into options to locate a new town road near the recently opened Aldi discount supermarket chain store.
The goal of the project — still in its infancy — is to alleviate congestion off Route 7.
"It's still just a concept at this point." said Town Road Commissioner Byron Hathaway. But, he added, he sees the benefits of the new road and believes the additional traffic could work to the advantage of side road businesses.
One of the route options discussed was connecting Farrell Road to the Cold River Road traffic light, with an intersection into Randbury Road.
According to Town Administrator Joe Zingale, there are still many steps that would need to be taken before the road could become a reality, including various traffic studies, grant applications and board approval.
Select Board member Don Chioffi said he is in favor of the new road. Chioffi said it is the responsibility of the town to do their part to take pressure and traffic off Route 7. He said he views the Farrell Road extension as a way to provide additional driving routes, as well as attract patrons to local businesses.
"My view is that it is a positive step for the town and town businesses," he said. "We have a responsibility to provide for those people in our commercial base."
Chioffi added that in previous discussions, fellow board members have supported similar infrastructure improvements, and this project is no different.
Currently no action has been taken by the board, but several discussions on the road have taken place.
"These things don't just happen overnight," Chioffi said. "When it does come to the board, my vote will be for it."MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from... Full Story

Already in the 19th Century, some mountains or huts could be reached only by skiers. The former necessity has now developed into a passion, an intense experience for nature lover of our mountains.
Earlier than anyone else, before the lifts start and before the first skiers enter the slopes, once a week we make a ski tour up to the Kronplatz/Plan de Corones.
Our Partner Rent and go rents us the right and under the guidance of the ski instructor Heinz go ski touring.
About 800 meters of altitude difference from the hotel to the top of Kronplatz – the pleasant anticipation of skiing on the white carpet already in your heart, and then the breakfast in the hotel, that will taste better than any time before!

There were and still are teams on almost all Indian Reservations throughout the country. California tribal teams can boast a strong number of players that have gone on to play on professional teams.
One such Cahuilla player was "Chief" Meyers (Santa Rosa, Cahuilla), who played on reservation teams before joining the major leagues. John Joseph Andreas (Agua Caliente, Cahuilla), a contemporary of Meyers, probably competed against him in those same Indian leagues. Andreas was patriarch of three generations of Indian ballplayers. His son Anthony Andreas starred as shortstop and pitcher for the Morongo Reservation all-Indian team which traveled around inland southern California and Arizona, playing in the desert heat while wearing the heavy wool uniforms of their time.
John Joseph's grandsons, John Damon Andreas and Anthony Andreas, Jr., both played on reservation teams. John got his start in a boys' summer league sponsored by the Agua Caliente Reservation. Scouted by the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers while in high school, John never made it to the major leagues but taught baseball fundamentals to youngsters in and around the Banning area.
In southern California today, baseball and softball reservation tournaments take place all year round. Reservations such as Pala, Pauma, Soboba, Morongo, and Torres-Martinez often host weekend competitions which bring together extended family and old friends. It is a time for food, fun, and shared cultural identity.

Rebirth of ISKCON San Francisco5,498 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Rebirth of ISKCON San Francisco
Pusta Krishna das: Srila Prabhupad established the temple in San Francisco 42 years ago. Many wonderful devotees, too numerous to list but including Jayananda, Tamal Krishna, Gurudas Shyamasundara, Malati, and so on, came to Krishna consciousness from the San Francisco Temple. Rathayatra in the West was inaugurated there in 1967.
San Francisco is an important city which is very agreeable to Asian people, religion, and philosophical thought. Many, many people have been exposed to Eastern spiritual concepts and yoga. It is the perfect place to establish a center for Krishna consciousness, even today. This is a call out to devotees in the San Francisco Bay Area to unite in a call to "Krishna conscious" action.
With the passage of time, so many bhaktas have become "suspicious" of one another, and unfortunately, this has really led to a "suspension" of their devotional service. This acts as a brake on moving progressively forward to our destination of love of God. We need to begin the process of reacquainting ourselves with each other in order to service Srila Prabhupad and Lord Chaitanya with joy and proper hope. I have grown to appreciate some of the programs that have come to be which appeal both to seekers and to the general public.
When I was with Srila Prabhupad in Geneva in about 1972-3, he asked me to write one letter on his behalf which was distributed then. It expressed his understanding that "not everyone will come to live in the temples" and we need to reach them with the cultural message… ie restaurants serving prasadam, and a store to sell devotional paraphernalia and the like. To a large extent, both the Los Angeles Temple and the Tucson, Arizona temple amongst others has done this, and the model is financially self-sustaining. A center in the Haight- Ashbury area, close to the Golden Gate Park would potentially reach both the spiritually curious and the seekers, as well as satisfy the cultural needs of others, giving people the chance for offering service and the like. What do you think? I live in Santa Cruz, California, about 90 minutes by car to San Francisco.
I know that there are thousands of devotees around the Bay Area who think about Krishna but have no avenue for service to Srila Prabhupad. I hope that we can overcome the inertia of suspicion so that we can engage each other in re-awakening active devotional service in ourselves, while at the same time we develop a very nice program of Krishna consciousness to offer to the Lotus Feet of Sri Sri Guru Gauranga. We are all eternally related through Krishna. Srila Prabhupad often used the example that there is so much strength in association, but potential weakness when we are alone.
The example he gave is that one thin branch can easily be broken, but if you bind many such twigs together, they are unbreakable. Sankirtan!
Please contact me at my email: email@example.com Lets begin the process of planning and executing the plan for a new revitalized and enlightened center for Krishna consciousness in San Francisco. Hare Krishna.
Comments • [comment feed]
This morning I had a very nice conversation with Vaisesika Prabhu. We are like minded in wanting to see a permanent center in San Francisco. We exchanged ideas. I want to be able to see all of Srila Prabhupad's disciples and well-wishers in the Bay Area participate in re-forming this center in the City. We want people to be able to express their hearts, and to positively engage or re-engage in service to Srila Prabhupad. With the many individuals and families in the area, I am confident that the center will become a reality. It will be a place that welcomes devotional service, overlooks dogma of a transient variety that can divide and spoil spiritual families, and that will be a joy to participate in. Let the "Krishna Sun Shine In".
We are currently in the formative stages and need email and telephone contacts so that we can begin organizing our Bay Area family of devotees. If you are interested (please be!) and know others who might wish to participate together in this glorious adventure, kindly email me at the address in the letter above, and tiptoe, walk, run back into, and dive heart-first into the ocean of devotional service. Please be a part of this service offering to Sri Sri Guru Gauranga!! Hare Krishna.
Humbly yours,
Pusta Krishna das
Very good initiative. It is amazing that when this movement was in it's infancy, temples were often started from scratch, by one or two devotees with very little resources. Nowadays starting a temple is a great struggle even for hunderds of devotees living in a particular area, usually also blessed with ample personal resources.
Best of luck to you in this effort, Pusta Krishna prabhu!
It is interesting to contemplate this situation. True, we started many a mission with one or two bhaktas in the 1970's, and now we want to enlist so many hundreds if not thousands. To me, that is a great proposal. In reality, we need the temple….Krishna does not. We are in starvation for devotional service, and we want as many as possible to be fed in this condition of starvation. It is wonderful to contemplate, as I and some others are now doing, that we may be able to re-unite so many good-hearted devotees into active service anew. Bringing together Srila Prabhupad's family is an awesome and joyous task. I hope that in the months or years to come we can be happily successful in our hopes and endeavours.
I know the feeling of being outside the mainstream of the "movement" and feeling very much neglected. It is a sad feeling. When Krishna will come to knock upon your heart, that will be a most welcome day. We want to be instrumental as courriers of His divine affection. And, I have so much confidence in the goodness of the bhaktas spread about the Bay Area. I and others look forward to the rising of the ISKCON San Francisco yatra again.
The other night, I had the opportunity of speaking with Gurudas Prabhu who lives in the City. He also is encouraged and his natural sweetness and charisma, plus his wonderful ideas will also help lead us into the future. So, come one, come all, this is a mission of service, not a trophy, and if we have hundreds and thousands of bhaktas participating, the joy will only be increased more and more. Like the marines…no one left behind.
Hare Krishna….Pusta Krishna das
Jaya Pusta-Krishna Prabhu! Your enthusiasm for this new project is inspiring. It is also encouraging that Gurudasa is inspired to assist with this project.
I live far away (and you live even farther), but San Francisco is an important city and I am sure Srila Prabhupada wants to have a successful, thriving outpost there.
The point Kulapavana raises about how we used to be able to start temples on a shoestring is interesting. We should consider why it is that we seem to have a more difficult time these days.
It is true that the economy has changed, but that cannot be the whole explanation. (It hasn't changed that much).
Many of us (speaking for myself) got married and more "responsible" (i.e., preoccupied with economic development and, alas, sense gratification). We might expect a thriving crop of younger, more austere brahmacaris and brahmacarinis could get temples going, if they were guided and inspired by some exemplary older renunciates (and supported by our solvent grhasthas).
I like the idea of engaging hundreds and thousands, and bringing many devotees "back" into active service who may have been somewhat inactive or less active recently. It reminds me of Vaisesika's maxims: "Many hands make light work," and "A lot of people doing a little is better than (how does it go?) nobody doing anything." Vaish mostly uses these sayings to refer to book distribution, but they apply to opening centers too.
Getting the thousands (or the scores) inspired and happy to work together is the challenge. Again I like Vaish's formula: "purify the vibration."
It certainly is a great city, with a history and tradition of embracing new and different ideas, including spiritual ideas.
I agree that Haight-Ashbury might still be the best location, although there are interesting other funky, Bohemian (if rougher) neighborhoods like the Lower Haight, the Mission, and SoMa. And more well-healed neighborhoods like Noe Valley, Marina, Russian Hill, the old Presidio or parts of North Beach and the Embarcadero that could be worthwhile, or Park Merced near the USF campus. Gurudas is way out in the outer Richmond near the Ocean, but I used to chant japa out there in the park and near Ocean Beach and contemplate the possibilities. One of the big problems in the City is always ease of access and parking. A place near a BART or Muni stop might be ideal…
But first step is assembling a team who lives close enough. I can visit once or twice a month.
Akruranath Prabhu, your comments are well-taken. I have been in the past involved with the formation of temples in Gainesville, Tampa, Houston, Santa Cruz, Capetown/Johannesburg/Durban South Africa, Paris, Lyon France, Geneva Switzerland, and even our first temple in Vrindaban at Brahma Ghat in 1971. It was never easy to start a center. It always required determination and patience. One might see the later effects of that early endeavor and consider that it was "easy", but in my experience it always required a lot of work and sacrifice, and a lot of prayer to keep one's purity and purpose alive. Yes, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu predicted the Sankirtan Movement will spread to every town and village, and we have been a part of that glorious manifestation in this lifetime. Now, we must complete our lives with active service. For this reason, we must encourage each other to engage or re-engage in devotional service for the pleasure of Sri Gurudeva and Krishna. We cannot stand on past laurels.
A proverb in the BIble comes to mind. A man needed his harvest picked one day, and early in the morning he promised to pay a certain sum of money if men would work until sundown. Some took up the work early in the morning. As the day went by, he say that more workers were needed and he enlisted more to harvest the fields. And so on, as the day passed toward the time of sundown, he enlisted more workers promising to pay them the same sum. When sundown came, some of the early starters complained that they had worked all day and some only worked a short time at the harvest, yet received the say reward. The man replied, "but that was our agreement, was it not?" So, Krishna says that whatever we are contemplating at the time of death, to that state we will attain without doubt. The moral, we must push onward with devotional service to the very end of life, following the example of our beloved Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupad. Then our transcendental existence will be successful. Death, the cessation of this body, is certain…but our future destination is at hand, and it is in our hands if we choose to believe Krishna.
I pray that our family of devotees in the Bay Area, even those in the Berkeley and San Jose yatras, and especially those without an active connection to service now will be re-inspired to engage in this service. My email is email@example.com Thank you very much. Pusta Krishna das
One thing that makes it more of a challenge to open a center is that a sense of unity and teamwork and shared purpose may sometimes be lacking.
When we were younger we could rush headlong into starting a project that we knew had Prabhupada's blessings, and we knew his direct, manifest guidance would keep us all on the same page, inspiring and guiding us in the same direction. Even in his presence, our different personalities and (let's face it) sometimes not completely pure motivations caused us to quarrel and take up his precious time and energy handling such disunity of his disciples.
Now that he is not physically present to intervene in an objectively manifest way, it is more important than ever that we have regular isthaghostis to remind ourselves as teams what are we trying to do together, and why, and how, and to renew our conviction that those we are working with are in accord and we can work with them to accomplish these ends this way.
It seems that building such a sense of unity and teamwork, and maintaining it, is more important than building or maintaining and cleaning an actual temple building. The real temple is the spirit of cooperation and purpose of those involved, rather than the buildings and property. If we have that unity and purity, everything else will follow easily, but if we do not have it, we will find it difficult to accomplish anything. Our members will constantly quarrel and find no satisfaction in the service they are doing.
Anyone with a little shakti and sufficient economic means can walk around the city chanting japa in a dhoti, distribute books to the curious people that he encounters, invite them to home programs for chanting, discussion and prasadam.
It is harder to get a group of committed devotees to cooperate together in an organized and efficient way to use whatever channels of communication are available to broadcast Lord Caitanya's message of the holy name widely. But if it can be done with a solid foundation and team spirit, there is no limit to what can be accomplished.
New people will be attracted, who will also have to be assimilated into the organized sanga. The ability to foster this sense of unity and purpose is crucial.
It starts with sound vibration. Kirtans and classes and recitation of choice verses, but also face-to-face discussions of what we want to do together, and how, and why, which builds confidence in a united purpose higher than any petty differences that may arise.
Everything you say, Akruranath Prabhu, is true. I am hoping that our Krishna Bhaktas will be inspired by advancing age to "not miss the boat." If not initially for the satisfaction of Mahaprabhu (Sri Sri Radha Krishna), then for their own future sake, each and every one of us will feel the urgency to dive heart-first into this service. What each of us is searching for is Krishna, Bhagavan, the Origin and Reservoir of everything desirable.
At the very least, we can try. No one, not Srila Prabhupad, ever complained if we were not successful. But, if we disengaged, then we risk losing his attention. There must be reciprocation in the form of service. Therefore, I am honestly praying for a swell of Krishna consciousness to arise in the ocean of the Bay Area so that we can easily catch that wave of all-auspiciousness and ride it Home. With so much appreciation for everyone's consideration, Your servant, Pusta Krishna das

The word 'bar mitzvah' literally means as son of commandment. Every Jewish boy goes through a certain bar mitzvah ceremony when he reaches his thirteenth birthday. This not only serves as a transition to adolescent life but also to the classic Jewish traditions. An important part of the celebration is the reception. There are many mitzvah party themes for you to choose from using symbols such as tefillin, tallit and the Torah. Here are several bar mitzvah centerpiece ideas to add a festive touch to the party.
Candy and peanut centerpiece. A bar mitzvah is known as a celebration and at the same time a social event. Food is a mainstay in any bar mitzvah party. Oftentimes, guests always get hungry even before the food is ready. This is the time when a peanut or candy centerpiece comes handy. A glass bowl filled with candy and peanut varieties or even mints is a nice way of entertaining guests while food is prepared. Tie a nice ribbon at the jars mouth and place it at the middle of the table. This beautiful centerpiece will help satisfy the guests appetite while waiting for the food to be served.
Mitzvah flowers. A certain bar mitzvah is a welcoming event of a boy into adulthood. A beautiful flower centerpiece is a great way of symbolizing this moment. Get a pretty little vase and then fill it with a variety of flowers. Each flower represents a different part of life. You can always ask the advice of your NYC wedding florist for flower centerpieces. Or better yet, have your florist do the entire mitzvah flower preparation. Fresh and fragrant flowers would indeed charm in the table setting.
Sparking light centerpieces. A young adolescent experiencing his very own mitzvah is considered as the light of the entire family. Making use of light centerpieces show how much the family feels and cares about him on this special day. Scented candles can add a wonderful charm and aroma to the venue.
Poem centerpieces. The bar mitzvah is a memorable day in the life of a Jewish boy. Add more meaning to it by putting on poem table centerpieces enclosed in small frames. Research mitzvah poems and quotations for the party and then creatively frame it. You can make your very own poem for your son or research a variety for each table. This is also a good way of entertaining your guests.

The definition of friendship and true love
This poor cat. If I had to have a camera shoved in my face all the time and listen to that voice, I'd attack the kid too. I'm sure that cat has had enough of your shit and just wants to be left alone.
Oh man, Wayne is the best. We decided to exchange anniversary gifts a day early, and holy fuck, he hit the jackpot. He kept telling me he got me things I didn't know I wanted and he was right. One gift was the "Hawkman Omnibus" and it's fucking amazing. It is GIANT and I love it. The other thing he got me was a fucking. KINDLE FIRE. Like holy shit, I can't believe he got me a kindle. That is insane. I'm so excited. The keyboard is weird on this thing since I'm used to using my phone, but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon enough.
For him, I got him three records from his wish list: Eminem's Curtain Call, Paramore's self-titled album, and Journey's Greatest Hits. He likes them a lot. I told him he gets the more awesome albums for his birthday in May, and I think he'll be really surprised.
I love this man so much. He knows me better than anyone else and I love it when he does something unexpected. I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend and I wouldn't find someone better even if I tried.
Wedding Cake Topper - Psylocke and Wolverine by Paolo Rivera
Video where the 40 hour process was condensed in to 3 minutes and 17 seconds - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkmuopvfIdM&feature=youtu.be.

This is AMAZING. Paolo Rivera, you make gorgeous pieces of art and if I ever get married, I am so going to find you and beg you to make an epic cake topper like this.
"And I can't help but to run my fingers down your spine

Kiss From a Stranger Saves a Suicidal Man
In Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, a sixteen-year-old boy was standing on a bridge, threatening to jump off and end his life. Hundreds of onlookers watched in horror as he refused to cross back onto the safe side of the guardrail. Police had arrived and were talking to the boy, but no one could get through to him.
Just then, Liu Wenxiu, a nineteen-year-old hotel waitress, was walking home from work when she saw the boy and knew that she had to do something to help him. Wenxiu had once been suicidal herself, so she knew how the boy felt. Telling police that she was his girlfriend, the girl managed to get close enough to talk to the boy. She shared her own sad and difficult life story, listened to his, and showed him the scar on her wrist from where she had tried to commit suicide herself.
"He said he's hopeless, 'so don't waste your time to save me'. But I told him, 'I'm not saving your life, I just want you to realize how silly you are being. Look at me, I've been there and I'm now here,'" Wenxiu said.
Finally, the girl was able to lean in and give him a hug, and then she unexpectedly gave him a kiss, as well. Police were then able to take the knife that the boy was holding and lead him back over to the safe side of the bridge.
I could not ignore this.
If this doesn't show you good people exist in this evil world, I don't know what will. There is hope. There is love. There is reason to stay alive.
