Finding Companions in What They Love
Unique gatherings in Hanyang University

Countless Hanyangians are holding on to unique hobbies and interests along with their studies with passion. Some, with this passion, have recruited other Hanyangians with the same interests and have formed unique gatherings, which are differentiated from the preexisting school clubs in the sense that they are less formal and do not require the school's recognition. News H met with three of these gatherings: HyES, Han-tteok and Hy-beer.
Who wants to play games with me?
"I actually tried to start this gathering back in 2014 with my passion towards games. I just didn't have enough executive abilities back then," Lee Yee-seok started off (Materials Science and Engineering, 3rd grade). However, as he came back from the army, he decided to do it promptly. HYES (formerly known as Ganking, now as Hanyang E-Sports) is a now-newly-starting gathering for people who like and want to learn various games. Already having executives and over 70 members, students are more than passionate. People are already having sudden online get-togethers through 'League of Legends', 'Battle Ground', and 'Overwatch'. The students who aren't so good at games try even harder since they believe that it's a great chance to improve their skills.
Having a tteokbokki mate
Han-tteok met once every other week officially, but they had sudden get-togethers very often. "After a semester starts, it's a great chance to make new friends and eat what they want at the same time!" said Kwon. Currently with around 80 students only within four months, Kwon introduced their unique MT as well. "We went to an MT right after the semester ended. We made four groups to make the best tteokbokki in an hour," reminisced Kwon.
Beer, there's more than you think!
When people hear the word beer, they tend to only think of it as 'fried chicken's best friend.' However, there is much more you have to know about beer. Lim Sung-ju (Education, 3rd grade), with great interest towards the information of beer, started a gathering named 'Hy-beer.' "I actually visited Europe to learn more about beer. I first started meeting up with a couple of friends to visit pubs," reminisced Lim. However, through coming across various clubs in other schools related to alcohol drinks, Lim decided to start one himself. Starting from the second semester of last year, Hy-beer gave me the chance to learn about different types of beer with any willing Hanyangians.
Lim started with a humble mind, thinking about a lot of people who wouldn't be interested in beer. However, 40 students applied and Lim had to make a sorrowful decision of only recruiting 20 members for better management. One week, he would buy various types of beers and open a small tasting event. The next week, they would visit a fine pub and gradually find their taste between the various types of beer. Through the repetition of these two weeks, Lim found this activity worthwhile. "As we first started this gathering, a lot of the members asked me for recommendations when we visited a pub. As they experienced various beers, they seem like they are finding their own beer," said Lim.
Lim is now planning on an official recruitment this March. "I am planning to recruit more people then before, so that more people can enjoy these activities," said Lim. He mentioned that even though he might not know beer like a professional, he is still continuing his studies. "A lot of people have misconceptions on gatherings of alcohol. However, the purpose of this gathering itself is to enjoy the mood, without focusing on the amount of beer. I wish anyone who has interest in beer, even though they can't drink well, to join our gathering."

I've watched House Hunters enough to know that people choose houses for many different reasons. They may like the layout of the floor plan and that it's located in a desirable neighborhood. Some people factor in the commute to work or the school district. Others fall in the love with the character of a house; it's charming details and curb appeal. Some can visualize themselves having dinner parties on a big deck or turning a small bedroom into a nursery.
I've definitely been there. I was IN LOVE with our house in Macon. I wanted to marry it and buy it lots of nice furniture.
Fast forward a few years and we found ourselves in need of big change for a variety of reasons. After angst and peril and upheaval and sleepless nights, we decided to move to Fitzgerald, my hometown,
to a small house on my parents' farm. It's a fixer upper to say the least.
Though this new house is perfect for us, it's not perfect in the "amazing floor plan and charming front porch" kind of way. It's perfect in the "this is good for our little family" kind of way.
The house is a little smaller than our old house, but more than big enough for what we really need.
The house is not especially beautiful. You wouldn't give it a second look if you passed by. Its best qualities are intangible and to us they are invaluable.
It's a modest house, but it sits on a beautiful spot on the farm. There's plenty of room to grow in every way. I can live with that trade off.
It's a modest house, but it sits on a beautiful spot on the farm. There's plenty of room to grow in every way. I can live with that trade off.
We moved from Macon and into my parents house at the beginning of June. We worked fast and furiously all summer long and then moved into the new house about three weeks ago (the 23rd of August, I think). As I look back at these pictures, it is unbelievable to me how much we were able to accomplish.
Daddy stopped everything to throw his time and resources into the house. Mama kept Ford every.single.day while we worked until dark-thirty. She also fed us and washed our clothes. My brother, Jonathon used all of his days off to help us, even going so far as to go with me to Ikea. That, friends, is true love.
I want you to know that when I say "we" did this or that, that it is a collective "we." It was nearly never just David and I working, and even when it was, we could both work because Mama was watching Ford. Everything we accomplished was with someone else's tools and because someone had shown us how to do it. Most of the time, Daddy and Jonathan were here working and planning and making everything come together. It was a family project, for sure.
So without further delay, here are the "before"pictures of the house. Please try to resist the urge to pin all of the beauty. Ha.
Here's another look at the built-in bookcases that features a gas heater fire place.
Here we are in the lovely kitchen. You'll see the back door to the left. The house was built as more of a cabin retreat. It's rustic and make shift. The cabinets weren't made for this kitchen and didn't fit quite right.
Continuing around the room, you'll notice the window that looks in the laundry room. (The laundry room and master bedroom closet are additions to the original house).
And on the other side of the room, all of the appliances sat next to each other.
This is the hallway that connects the large front room with the bedrooms and bathroom.
This is the master bedroom.
You may notice that all of the rooms have window units. The house didn't have central heat and air, but thankfully it does now! Also, both of the bedrooms have exterior doors for some reason.
This is a walk in closet in our room (full of someone else's clothes…we had a lot of cleaning to do too.)
This is Ford's bedroom. You can see the door that comes in from the hallway and another exterior door. Just want you want in your child's room, right? An escape route.
Another window unit. More brick and paneling. Pure excitement.
We had pulled up the red carpet at this point to reveal the (also red) concrete floor.
And finally here's the vintage tile bathroom.
Spoiler alert: We still have a vintage tile bathroom. But don't worry. We made some happy little updates in this room, too.
Finally, here's a little sketch to give you a general idea of the layout of the house. It's a small house, but the rooms are laid out well in way that maximizes our living space.
I'll be back on Tuesday with more pictures. Yay!

Nor yet would the term selfish apply to an East End music hall audience when they eject any one who belongs to a different social class to themselves and wears good clothes.

In a state of the nation address Wednesday, Medvedev lashed out against what he called selfish U.S. foreign policy and announced Moscow will set up a new missile base near the Polish border.
I don't think the word "selfish" is even a little appropriate here.

Petros Kafe, El Segundo – Greek, No Compromises
Successful market research can take two forms: find out what you can do that fits the needs of a community, or find a community that wants what you are determined to give them. Both can be successful, and each has its own risk. Pander too much to local taste, you risk losing whatever is special about your enterprise; be inflexible and wrong about what the area wants, you are in trouble.
Petros Benekos has restaurants with almost identical menus in Manhattan Beach, Santa Barbara, and the Santa Ynez wine country, all just called Petros. When I heard he planned to open Petros Kafe in a former bakery in El Segundo, it sounded brilliant: a streamlined, simpler, less expensive Greek restaurant would be a perfect fit for the lunch crowd. The fact that the bakery would continue operating seemed to confirm this, and I looked forward to a stream of the delicious Greek pastries I knew from experiences in that country.
I was therefore quite surprised on my first visit: the menu was very similar and just as upscale as his other restaurants, despite the more casual-sounding name. There are differences – some of the more upscale dinner items aren't offered here, and there are a few extra sandwiches at lunch. That aside, the cool, modern style is a sharp contrast to the more dated or utilitarian restaurants that dominate Downtown.
Local Offers
Our first visit was for brunch, at a table by the window where we could enjoy the peaceful small-town streetscape. The bakery is still in operation, and the first thing to arrive at our table, a basket of warm bread, showed that someone knows how to run it. The olive bread was very good, the sesame bread fantastic – I tried to buy a loaf of each but was told that at this time they're not selling it.
A glass of sparkling wine with berries added a sophisticated note while we perused the menu. We decided to share an arugula salad and an appetizer combo – baked feta cheese crusted with sesame and topped with raisins, shrimp in tomato sauce, and the fried cheese called saganaki. The combo had a wonderful mix of flavors but was small for a party of four; a bite of each item to tease the senses, which is what an appetizer is supposed to do. The arugula salad was a bit more substantial and quite unusual; the slightly bitter green was paired with roasted tomatoes, a drizzle off honey, and a dusting of grated Greek cheese that is similar to a mild Parmesan. There was sweetness from the tomatoes and honey to balance the greens and mild vinaigrette, SO even someone who usually doesn't like arugula fancied it.
Another salad that is often offered is a watermelon, tomato, mint, and cheese salad, one of those rare items that remind you tomatoes are a fruit. It almost always appears on the menu but is only available when they can get fresh enough products, as it should be. For those who like greens but are less adventurous, Petros Kafe also offers an excellent shrimp, avocado, and vegetable salad; and a Greek salad that can be used as a benchmark. Soups are offered too, vegetarian lentil or vegetable-bean or avgolemono, the hearty chicken stock, lemon, and rice soup that is a national dish. I've tried all three and was surprised to prefer the vegetable bean, which is a find light meal.
Like most places in Downtown, Petros Kafe woos the business lunch crowd with a selection of sandwiches and quick-serve items. These include an array of sandwiches, "Petros Bowls," (salads topped with chicken or salmon), pizzas, and burgers in the standard American style or with Greek spices. I tend to gravitate toward the pizzas, which have a thin freshly made crust and Greek toppings. Greek cheeses don't melt the way Italian cheeses do, and the sauce is less highly seasoned, so the effect is somewhat different from the usual. It is worth noting that the cheese on a pizza usually helps the ingredients stick to the crust, so you should take care to not spill into your lap if you pick up pizza to eat it.
Sandwiches are made with that excellent olive bread, and the best I've tried is the braised lamb shoulder with caramelized onions. The chicken in pita bread with homemade tzatziki sauce is also usually very good, though it was strangely dry on one visit. When I pointed this out to our server she offered to have another made, which was good customer service.
Specials are also offered, and on a recent afternoon we were happy to see Greek-style rack of lamb with french fries. The fries were crisp and lightly dusted with herbs, and the five small chops were delicious. We were less pleased when the bill came – I had neglected to ask the price figuring that it would be in line with the other entrees, but were surprised when it was $28.00. Since most entrees here were between $14 and $20, it would have been nice if the server had let us know, or the sign had included the price.
Petros Kafe has a very good wine list with premium Greek wines, a decent beer selection, and can dish out powerful coffee that will keep those brain cells humming along. They don't serve liquor, so shots of ouzo after dinner are out, but there are desserts that include freshly made doughnuts to finish the meal.
Petros Kafe is a bet that El Segundo residents and visitors will warm to an upscale but casual environment, and it seems to be succeeding; on my most recent visit the place was two-thirds full despite the fact that we were dining relatively late. Our server mentioned that some new items would soon be added to the menu, so one of the most sophisticated menus in town may become even more so. Locals may not yet be ready for the beet and octopus with oregano sauce served in Manhattan Beach, but the day will surely come.
Petros Kafe is at 131 Grand Avenue in El Segundo, just west of Main. Open 11 am – 11 pm Su-Thu, 11 am-midnight Fr-Sa. Parking in adjacent structure, wheelchair access good, some vegetarian/vegan items. Cork age $15, beer and wine served. No online menu, phone 310-322-6200.

- National Park Service steps in to keep Samuel P. Taylor and Tomales Bay parks open (SJ Mercury News)
The National Park Service is stepping in to rescue two Marin state parks from closure with a pilot program that includes a new fee at Muir Woods National Monument. The new $2 fee at Muir Woods beginning Jan. 1 -- expected to bring in up to $1 million in annual revenue -- will keep Samuel P. Taylor State Park open. Meanwhile, Tomales Bay State Park will get help from the Point Reyes National Seashore to remain open. The plan was announced Thursday after months of talks between federal and state park officials.
- Shuttle Drivers: Boss Made Us Donate to Lee (Bay Citizen)
...City records show that 16 GO Lorrie's employees — including drivers, dispatchers and a clerk — gave $500 each to Lee's campaign, the maximum allowed under city law. No other business had as many employees contribute to the mayor. Two GO Lorrie's drivers, Darrin Yuan and Paul Hsu, both of San Francisco, independently said in interviews that they had donated to Lee because a manager, Jason Perez, promised to reimburse them. The workers did not know whether the manager was acting on his own or on behalf of the company.
- Ed Lee returns suspicious funds from van service (SF Chronicle)
Seventeen employees of a San Francisco airport van service donated $8,500 to Mayor Ed Lee's election campaign about two weeks after the airport announced it was reversing a decision on van placement that the company had complained about, city records show. Airport Director John Martin and Lee's staff both maintain the mayor in no way intervened on behalf of the van operator, Go Lorrie's Airport Shuttle.
- Free Muni for youths a step closer (SF Chronicle)
A proposal to make Muni free for passengers younger than 18 won the backing of a Board of Supervisors committee Thursday, an initiative that would cost the city's perennially cash-strapped transit agency at least $5.8 million a year.
- San Jose mom's death was homicide number 34 - most since 1997 (SJ Mercury News)
Police confirmed Thursday what had been suspected for days: A San Jose mother whose body was found Wednesday was murdered, and now they are launching a formal homicide investigation. The death pushed San Jose's homicide total for the year to 34, which after about nine months already appears to be the most killings for an entire year since 1997. But investigators cautioned that the crime may have occurred outside city limits, as the body was found on unincorporated land between northeast San Jose and Milpitas.
- Occupy Wall Street protesters camping out at San Jose City Hall may face arrest Friday (SJ Mercury News)
Members of the local outpost of Occupy Wall Street, the growing cross-country protest movement against corporate greed, could face arrest Friday night. City Attorney Rick Doyle said it's illegal to camp out at City Hall overnight, typically past 11:30 p.m.
- Probe into Pacifica dog mauling inconclusive on cause (Bay Area News Group)
Though police completed their probe Thursday into the death of a pregnant woman killed by her pit bull, what provoked the attack remains a mystery. Investigators found no evidence in the autopsy of 32-year-old Darla Napora or the necropsy of her 2-year-old dog, Gunner, that would explain the Aug. 11 mauling, said Pacifica police Capt. Dave Bertini. Napora and the dog were the only witnesses to an incident that ended with officers shooting and killing the animal, which was not neutered.
- Gov. Brown signs bill eliminating fingerprinting requirements for food stamp recipients (Bay Area News Group)
...Brown on Thursday signed three dozen bills and vetoed three as he inched closer to Sunday's midnight deadline to decide the fate of 600 bills the Legislature passed last month in the waning days of the legislative session. In all, Brown has signed 230 bills and vetoed 28, which means he's got some heavy lifting to do over the final three days. Three-hundred and fifty bills remain on his desk. Under AB 6, food stamp recipients will no longer be forced to be fingerprinted -- something that health advocates say frightened away eligible families from the program, now called CalFresh. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only 50 percent of eligible Californians receive food stamps -- one of the lowest rates in the country.
- Fans in Silicon Valley and around the globe remember Apple's Steve Jobs (SJ Mercury News)
From a marketplace in Tokyo to strife-ridden Syria to the sidewalk in front of Steve Jobs' house in Palo Alto, spontaneous memorials -- the likes of which haven't been seen since the deaths of John Lennon and Princess Diana -- swept around the globe Thursday as the reality of the tech titan's death seeped deeply into mourners' souls.
- Tagami, City Hall fire back over audit of $91 million Fox Theater project (Oakland Tribune)
City leadership and one of the Oakland's biggest developers fired back this week against a report criticizing the $91 million renovation of the Fox Theater as poorly managed and excessively expensive. The report was released Tuesday by City Auditor Courtney Ruby, whose nearly yearlong audit found that the city's contribution to the project quadrupled, from $13 million in 2004 to $52 million in 2009. Ruby said the scope of the project had increased in "a leadership vacuum," with little to no information about less expensive options reaching members of the City Council, who approved several increases to the scope of the project over its five-year span.
- PG&E running less-rigorous tests on gas pipes (SF Chronicle)
California regulators warned Pacific Gas and Electric Co. on Thursday to stick to the letter of an agreement with the state on pressure testing its natural-gas lines to ensure there are no time bombs like the San Bruno transmission pipe that exploded last year.

Toys for Both Big and Small Boys4 Share Tweet
While most girls get over their dolls and toy kitchen sets by the time they hit puberty, the boys' fascination with Lego seems permanent. Look at how one decidedly adult male plays with his plastic bricks.
Known online as Choking Hazards, the boy behind the Lego skeleton is old enough to know that the toy bricks can be dangerous if swallowed. He is also old enough to master the art of assembling Lego into astonishingly detailed figures. Observe:
Another proof of his mature age is the fact that he is a father. And like father, like son. One of Choking Hazard's Flickr albums contains Lego works by his kid, whose age we can only speculate.
You can download instructions on how to build your own Lego skull from his new Blogspot.

Rodents, like frozen mice and feeder quail, make great feeders for snakes and other reptiles. When using these pre-killed animals as food, make sure that you defrost them prior to feeding time. Here are some tips for thawing out frozen feeders:
* Remove only the number of items you need for a specific feeding.
* Place the frozen feeders into a plastic bag. Depending on your time frame, you can place the bag into the refrigerator to defrost overnight.
* Then, you will warm them up. You can do this by using warm water or you can also place the thawed out rodent on a warm surface, such as a radiator, on top of your TV or in a window seal with a patch of sun coming in. Don't leave it for too long though, as germs can begin to develop that are unhealthy for your snake.
*Make sure to check that the frozen feeder is thoroughly defrosted, and that it is warmed up above room temperature.

OPTIMA's Search for the Ultimate Street Car, presented by Advance Auto Parts spanned ten events and went coast to coast in search of the ultimate street cars. The best of the best earned invitations to the SEMA Show and the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational (OUSCI), and the event at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, capped off the regular season. Three of the four class point battles came to an end here, as well as the final invitations to the 2016 OUSCI.
As we've seen all year long, Chevys have dominated the entry lists and taken home plenty of hardware, and that trend continued in California. In the GTV class, Jake Rozelle's 1969 Camaro had an epic pony car battle against Mike Maier's 1966 Mustang all season long and the points chase come down to the final event. Rozelle held off a hard challenge by Maier to win the event by just two points and held on to win the overall GTV series title by just five points.
The GTL class battle was even tighter, with Rich Willhoff's 2006 ZO6 trailing Mike DuSold's 1967 Camaro by just a single point coming into the final event. The best three performances count toward the season-long point total, so Willhoff needed at least 480 points to pass Dusold for the season title. While Willhoff's Corvette always does well in the Lingenfelter Design & Engineering Challenge, a stacked field made points hard to come by and he ended up with 83 points, which meant he needed a near-perfect performance in the timed segments to capture the championship. Willhoff rose to the challenge and turned in a perfect performance, with the best overall times in the PowerStop Speed Stop Challenge, the Detroit Speed Autocross, and the Falken Tire Road Course Time Trial. That gave him the point's championship over Dusold by just four points.
Willhoff and GTL runner-up Robert DeuPree already earned invitations to Las Vegas, which left the battle to Anthony Pelayo's Corvette and Ryan Johnson's Lotus Elise. The battle went back and forth all weekend, with Johnson finally getting the upper hand on the road course and capturing the invite.
The GTS class had five different manufacturers finish in the top-five, with Austin Barnes' Mitsubishi Evo taking the win over a Porsche, Viper, ZO6 and Focus RS. However, Carrie Willhoff's Fourth-place finish gave her enough points to garner an invitation to the OUSCI, based on her season-long totals.
In the GT class, Ken Thwaits made the long haul out from Tennessee to challenge Bryan Johnson for the overall GT title. Thwaits needed a 491-point outing to make it happen and things started out well with a 98-point performance in the Lingenfelter Design & Engineering Challenge. The tough competition throughout the field ate up too many points for Thwaits to grab the championship, but he did get the class win over Jordan Priestley's 2016 Camaro by just two points!
Craig Hardee's 2015 Z/28 Camaro ran in seven of the ten events this season and ended up picking up the final Spectre Performance Spirit of the event invitation to Las Vegas. In addition to those invitations, the top-15 non-qualifiers also received points based on their season-long performance in the series. An incredible 11 of those 15 were either Chevys or powered by the Bow Tie.
Once sponsor entries and selections from the SEMA Show floor are added, the field for the 2016 OUSCI will be set, and it promises to be an exciting finale. You can catch the action every weekend on MAVTV, starting Friday nights at 8PM Eastern and Pacific Time. The 2017 schedule will be announced at the SEMA Show and registration will open later this year. All the events are expected to sell out in 2017, so if you want to be a part of the action, keep DriveOPTIMA.com in your favorites and be ready to go when registration opens.

It's "Spiral Vs Paradox"
I'm not shore if I did it right, because the spiral should also be the string for this ZT, and I did not realy follow the spiral as a string.
However it was very much fun to work on this.
Paradox caught up in a spring is very imaginative and fun!BeantwoordenVerwijderen
These are so fantastic! I love your interpretation of this challenge! Really refreshing!BeantwoordenVerwijderen
SO clever! The second one looks like eyes watching the springs!BeantwoordenVerwijderen
Lovely composition. Most of us have drawn only a 2D spiral , but you have come up with a 3D spiral for your ZIA! Kudos !
Ohhh, this is so beautiful. The top one is my favorite of all spiral vs. paradox creations I've seen so far.BeantwoordenVerwijderen
Really neat, I love the interlocking spirals.BeantwoordenVerwijderen
This 3-d effect is beyond clever and so inspiring. I love how you created the 'behind' and over-around-through effects - just great!BeantwoordenVerwijderen
These are both awesome! Your interpretation of the challenge and your work is fantastic!BeantwoordenVerwijderen
Love this one!!! Especially BTJBeantwoordenVerwijderen

Base Basics
The fun and challenge of Electric Football is creating a collection of bases that move your players down the field in predictable ways. Here is an overview of how bases work, their various options, and how to choose the right ones for your style of play. Soon you'll be coaching your team of player and base combinations to victory!
Bases and Players
On older Electric Football sets, the base and the player were molded together in one piece. Modern bases and players are separate from each other and interchangeable, meaning you can mix and match them and truly create your own team of players with predictable skills. This is the key difference and the essence of the modern game of Electric Football.
Parts of the Standard Base
The "shell" is the main part of the base; "clips" attach the base to the player; "spikes" (also called cleats or prongs) are the critical part of the base that touches the surface of the playing field; and the "front" which is the front of the shell. It can be rounded or square in shape.
Shell: Shells are easily distinguishable, with Rookie bases having a solid upper shell, while TTC bases contain a movable dial. Rookie Bases have spikes preset to run forward. These bases are often fast, good for running backs and receivers. These bases can be "trained" to run different patterns by gently bending or twisting their spikes. Total Team Control (TTC) bases are a two piece base consisting of the TTC shell and a dial you snap into the shell. They allow you to control the direction of a player by turning the dial underneath the base. For example to go left, turn the dial slightly to the left. Invisibase shells are flat platforms.
Clips: The clips on a base attach it to the player. Invisibases have a continuous clip that runs the entire width of the base. Double Clip bases have small clips on the front and back of the base so that a player can slide onto the base securely. Invisibases and Double Clip bases will accept any player figure from the modern age. Single Clip bases, however, have a single clip in the center of the base and no outer clips, so the only figures that will fit Single Clip Bases are figures with a small square hole in their platforms.
Spikes: Fast Bases have narrow spikes on the bottom of the base. As the name indicates, Fast Bases tend to go fast but they can get pushed around on the gridiron by a stronger base. Strong Bases have wider spikes on the bottom of the base. Strong Bases are typically not the fastest bases you will own, but they will hold their position better.
Front: Round Front Bases are best for wide receivers, running backs, defensive linemen, and linebackers because they allow you to slide past your opponents. Straight Front Bases are typically best for your offensive linemen and cornerbacks, as they prevent your opponent from easily sliding past you.
Types of Bases
There are four main types of bases: Standard, Convention, Pro Line, and Invisibase. The Standard, Convention, and Pro Line bases are available in two different shells: Rookie and TTC. Invisibases are a newer and completely different design. Pro Line bases are made with a wide variety of combinations of clips, spikes, and fronts.
Standard bases are sold in 24 packs of either Rookie shells or TTC shells and dials. They are both double clip bases with fast (narrow) spikes and gently rounded fronts. Works with all action figures.
Convention Bases
Convention bases are available in packs of 24 with 12 Rookie shells and 12 TTC shells and dials. Convention bases come in different colors and some coaches swear by a certain color having special or desirable properties. Convention bases are all double clip bases with fast spikes and gently rounded fronts. Works with all action figures.
Pro Line Bases
There are 12 different types of Pro Line bases. Pro Line bases consist of different combinations of shells, clips, spikes, and fronts. This gives the aspiring and pro coach a wide variety of techniques and options to build a winning team. Works with all action figures, except the Single Clip type, which only fit action figures that have a rectangular slot in their platform.
Invisibases are a new design that results in players running straighter right out of the box. Invisibases come in two styles: Strength Cleats and Speed Cleats. A Strength Cleat has two blades that run the width of the base, while the Speed Cleats are narrower versions of the Strength Cleat that can be angled to turn the base. They can be tweaked quite effectively, like all Electric Football bases. See our Video How-To section for more information. Works with all action figures.
Training and Tweaking
Bases can be temporarily "trained" to run different patterns by gently bending or twisting their spikes right before a play. A base's plastic spikes have memory so they will resume their original molded state after a play. Methods exist to permanently train your Bases to perform any way you like. This is called "tweaking" and it's a core skill of professional Electric Football coaches. By tweaking and assembling your base and player collection, you can create a roster of players to compete in conventions and tournaments. For more information on tweaking, see the Training Camp page and the Video How-To page.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a dark castle guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, always dreaming of the day a young man would come and rescue her from the evil sorcerer who had kidnapped her and trapped her there. One day, a brave knight stormed the castle on his trusty steed, slew the dragon and killed the sorcerer. He rescued the princess from her lonely tower and took her back home to her kingdom. The king and queen were so grateful to the knight that they offered him their daughter's hand in marriage, to which he and the princess gladly agreed. The knight and the princess were married, and they lived happily ever after. The End.
This is a classic fairy tale formula: villain has damsel, hero goes after damsel, hero defeats villain, hero and damsel fall in love and live happily ever after. The exact course of events may vary from story to story, but the basic idea is usually the same. Also universal in romantic fairy tales, if you'll notice, are the character archetypes present in the plot. So pervasive are they in fiction that we've been trained from childhood to recognize them on sight: the handsome prince or the knight in shining armor; the beautiful princess or the young lady in need of rescue; the evil villain who stands in the way of true love, etc. And while these characters clearly serve their purpose when it comes to telling a well-rounded story, we as writers must ask ourselves why they don't (or at least shouldn't) appeal to us as satisfactory vehicles for the tales we wish to tell.
The main problem with the fairy tale characters is that they're "plug-in" types. They're like mass-produced instant ramen noodles: conveniently cheap and easy to prepare, but not exactly a healthy choice. When basic character profiles are used excessively over the years, they inevitably become clichéd and uninteresting. And intelligent readers don't want clichéd and uninteresting; they want to see through the action on the pages to glimpse another level of the characters. They want depth.
As writers, we are obligated to act as intelligent readers of our own works, even super-intelligent. We need to have a complete understanding of our characters that transcends our readers' perceptions. To achieve this, we have to provide our characters with personal details that make up a life outside of the main action in the story, a life that will save them from being labeled as "ordinary" and keep our readers intrigued. So how exactly do we manage this?
Amelia stared out of the window of her room for what the scratched-up wall behind her claimed was the thirty-second day in a row. Yet again, she found herself longing to visit the rolling hills in the distance. It was so boring in her room: all the walls had already been painted twice in a dozen different colors, and she was out of embroidery supplies for the third time that week. She wanted to go outside, where there was fresh air and animals to chase and adventures to be had every day. She wanted her freedom back.
Good fictional characters are like real people: unique. They have backstory, flaws, fears and dreams. The best ones also have personal goals that often serve the important purpose of driving their stories forward. Can you think of anyone else who might fit that description?
Petrus, the lonely philosopher that she liked to visit on occasion, had foolishly thought it would be a good idea to get a small pet dragon to keep him company in his otherwise abandoned castle at the far edge of the forest. The second Amelia had stepped through the gate, the darn beast had chased her across the courtyard straight into the building, where her friend had told her that until he could find a way to subdue the dragon, she would have to stay inside where it was safe. That was a month ago.
Something I've noticed that I tend to do a lot when writing fiction is insert elements of my own personality and ideals into my stories. Although its usually done subconsciously, I feel this has helped me tremendously when trying to create believable characters. It isn't just me, of course; many of the stories I've read seem to reflect characteristics of the writer behind them, as much the favorable as the less-than-flattering. Speaking from my experience, not only is this a practice that's probably very common among knowledgeable writers, but that should really be encouraged among beginners, especially those who are prone to following the flat "Once upon a time" formula.
Jack couldn't remember how he had ended up here. One minute, he was standing atop a tree beside a stone wall, trying to figure out where he was after being lost for an hour; the next, he was waking up in the courtyard on the other side of the wall next to an unconscious dragon and a huge broken branch. Before he knew it, an old man in a dark robe and a young girl his own age had run out of the nearby castle and were thanking him for his heroic deed. What heroic deed? Jack insisted he was no hero; he was just a squire who'd gotten lost after being separated from the knight with whom he was traveling to the kingdom. Nonetheless, the philosopher was grateful for this stroke of good luck, and requested that Jack accompany Amelia back home. She knew the way, he assured the boy, and her father was sure to reward him handsomely for his deed. The man was, after all, an advisor to the king himself…
Writing yourself into your stories has a few major advantages:
- It makes it easier to write in a way that readers will find relatable;
- It helps you develop a better familiarity with the characters you're creating (after all, who knows you better than you, right?); and
- It allows your readers a subtle means of getting to know the writer behind the words.
The story shared here is just a silly fairy tale twist that I improvised, but which still serves to demonstrate how I tend to base elements of my writing on myself. Amelia's painted walls and embroideries reflect an artistic side, though the adventurous dreamer in her is also a comment on my idealistic views about women who are independent thinkers. Petrus, being a philosopher, is a type of character who's expected to be intelligent, but who still isn't immune to bad decisions brought on by negative emotions like loneliness (why else would anyone get a pet dragon if they had no clue how to handle it?). Even Jack is a quirky character of humble status who would hardly consider himself a hero had he not been in the right place at the right time.
The traits I've taken from myself give all these characters a certain depth that separates them from their two-dimensional parallels in the first story and (hopefully) makes the second story a more interesting read. In this way, by writing yourself into your own stories, you can add color to your characters' profiles and create tales that not only appeal to your intelligent readers, but also give them a chance to catch glimpses of the unique person that is you.
Amelia bid Petrus farewell as he fettered the unconscious dragon, thanking him for taking such good care of her for the past month. She then led the way to the nearby kingdom that was her home, and after reuniting with her worried parents, she introduced Jack as her new friend. The boy was awarded knighthood for taking down a dragon and saving the advisor's daughter, and he and the girl quickly became best friends. For several years, Jack and Amelia continued to visit Petrus together and pursued many adventures throughout their adolescence, until at last they reached adulthood and realized they had fallen in love. The two friends were eventually married, knowing they'd be very happy together for the rest of their lives. Their greatest adventure had only just begun.
What about you fellow fiction writers? How do you draw inspiration for creating your characters? Do you recognize traces of yourself in any of your stories?

San Francisco power outage hits 90,000, business district affected
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21 (Reuters) - A power outage on Friday morning in San Francisco affected around 90,000 people, stalling work in the technology and finance center as a vast swath of the financial district lost electricity.
Paul Doherty, spokesman for utility PG&E, said there had been an incident at a San Francisco substation and a series of outages began affecting the city shortly after 9 a.m. (1200 ET). He was unable to give an estimate of when the problem would be fixed.
The outage affected central and northern parts of the city, according to the city's Department of Emergency Management.

Office workers spilled onto city streets in the heart of the business district, milling about as traffic snarled since stoplights were not working.
King Lip, chief investment officer at Baker Avenue Asset Management in San Francisco said his offices had been hit.
"It's pretty big, seems like half the city has no power. It's a big deal. All our systems went down. We were in the middle of a trade, luckily we have cloud-based software so all the trades are saved and we're going to have our people in Texas or New York execute it," he said.

Next Up for Inheritances: Millennials and Gen Xers
Almost $30 trillion in assets has already started to pass from one generation to the next, according to Delaware Online in "You've just inherited a million dollars. Now what?" Ten percent of this enormous transfer will take place within the next decade, and the passing of Boomers, who are considered the wealthiest generation ever, which will create a whole new class of millionaires.
Many are saying that the situation is tougher on the person receiving the money, than the one giving it away. I disagree with this!
It is hard to tell a younger person to think long-term today. However, the best thing a "suddenly rich" person can do is to hire a financial advisor, trust and estates attorney like DANIEL T FLEISCHER, and a CPA.
It's best for children look to around, until they find a financial advisor who matches their needs. Studies show that about 66% of children fire their parents' financial advisor when they inherit their wealth. Millennials and Gen Xers may feel more comfortable with a person closer to their own age with contemporary ideas.
Get comfortable with that person and discuss their compensation. Make sure that you select a financial advisor who has your best interests at heart.
Children who inherit a large amount of money should pause and consider their short- and long-term goals. When you understand your goals, it's easier to find an advisor who can execute that vision.
A financial advisor will monitor the inheritors' financial goals and keep them on course. Sometimes, those who receive a sudden windfall don't truly comprehend how much money they have. As a result, they burn through it like it was going out of style. Most inheritances are blown within 18 months.
Inheritors shouldn't run out and make major lifestyle changes right away. Flaunting new found wealth, like buying a Porsche or adding a swimming pool to your house, could make you a target for scammers.
Boomers and their children should have meaningful discussions about what the inheritances will mean to the heirs and how to handle a sudden windfall. Perhaps the family wishes to establish a legacy, or maybe the kids want to start a business. Another consideration: talk with an estate planning attorney about the use of trusts to protect spendthrift kids. An estate planning attorney can guide parents and heirs. My office handles these issues all of the time. Please call me at 954-888-1747 and please mention this post.
Do you live in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach counties in Florida? Laws are constantly changing-- has your estate plan been reviewed in the last 2-3 years? Call me (954-888-1747) right away for peace of mind. I can help! Please visit www.411probate.com for valuable information.

2x5W Amplifier
for mp3 player or line output
for mp3 player or line output
To continue the project of making an Audio Amplifier for my devices (as written when recycling an old power supply), here is the nearly step-by-step WIP :
The kit used is the Velleman MK190 2x5W.
Perfectly noob-friendly protocol:
Steps 1-3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Steps 6-10: (forgot to take pictures..)
Step 11:
Does it work? actually, it does!
The set up:
- Old Speakers taken from Out-of-Order HiFi,
- My lovely Old Robyn (Xperia X10mini),
- Old VHS power supply,
- Spare cables taken from trash electronics (burnt ATX-PSU),
- A little jack-jack 3.5 cable (1.50€)
- Velleman MK190 kit (9.90€)
So i simply used the old power supply to get 12Volts :
Plugged pin 5-6 (12.6V) and 7-10 (ground) to the power input of the module in a quick and un-recommended way :
Now that it works, what's next?
The only work left is to make clean and safe connections to the power supply, and find a box that fits all. ==> Making safe connectors
Part 2: A better looking result
Part 3: Adding a better PSU

So good to read about your life, Dawn, with 1-year-old, Rafael! Your days are FULL...and at times, exhausting, but what a rich and beautiful life you have. I've always loved your magic with the words you choose to express your feelings!ReplyDelete
xxxJudy in CA
Wow, I Love reading your writing, it's so clear and visual...makes me feel like I partake in your life and my grandson's every day growing. How funny that exactly the challenges you describe I wasn't able to take as well as you do and a lot of upheaval and hurt came from not feeling at home or grounded or secure in any way...so so happy to know that that one aspect is different for you, so that you stand a chance to break old family patterns, and both get what you need. Mother and son. How cool. I'm watching with great joy the amazing job you do being a mother and taking care of yourself and your husband and the dogs and friends and community and all of us here on your blog.ReplyDelete
Champion! Golden...
Yes, beautifully expressed! I echo Nellie, Judy and Julia.ReplyDelete
My children are adults (26, 28 and 30) but your words bring back so many memories. It's so true that time to think and contemplate go out the window when children are needing us. I love that your walks bring a fresh look at things, and a time to reflect. I recall that taking a walk with the little ones was a lovely time for me too, at least while they were tiny.
You are a natural born Mom -- and as you go along, you will find your way through each stage. Remember to take your cares to the One who cares so very much for you.
God bless, Susan in Zurich

So enjoyed reading this, Dawn. It's beautifully written. I don't have children (just dogs who can at times make life a bit complicated), but I know what you are expressing - both the joy and the stress - is felt by mothers the world over. Rafael is an adorable little boy and I appreciate you sharing your story.ReplyDelete
beautiful post. beautiful blog. thanks for the link! so fun to see that little sweater on him!ReplyDelete

Buy yourself a stack of 3 x 5 index cards and write the names of everything in the house on them. Tape them to the item, he will learn to read that way. We did that with my son. Give him Suzuki cello or violin lessons. It was the best thing we ever did. We had a Japanese cellist teach our son to play the cello. He had been taught by Dr. Suzuki. Our son started lesson at the age of 3 with a 1/10 size cello. He took lessons for 15 years. He won a full-scholarship to college and is now applying to Medical School. Children are like little sponges...don't waste a minute to teach him to read and count.
Stumbled upon your blog while lying in bed waiting for the Nyquil to kick in. What a lovely child, Rafael. You took me straight back to what I call the busy years. Oh, what fun. Oh, what exhaustion. Nothing compares to the job of motherhood. It leaves you breathless, ridiculously happy, unspeakably tired, and all at the same time.ReplyDelete
Squeeze every ounce of goodness out of the years that you can. They will pass all too soon.
Kind regards,

There's a role for Atlantic Canadians to play in a growing national pushback against U.S. President Donald Trump and his trade and tariff policies that unfairly penalize this country.
A boycott of American goods is gaining momentum. You can pick a slogan to fit your personal priority: "Buy Canadian," or "Go Trump-free."
The movement began when the president made personal attacks against Canada and its prime minister for opposing U.S. tariffs. The president's tirade was pretty much what you'd expect from a bully — he reacted in anger when Justin Trudeau said Canada won't be pushed around.
RELATED: U.S. child migrant policy 'wrong,' says Trudeau; Trump changes course
We are taking a stand against punitive tariffs on lumber, steel and aluminum, and threats on our pulp and paper, auto industry and dairy supply management system.
Our resolve was strengthened after watching the horrors of children being separated from their parents at U.S. borders.
As regions, communities and individuals, we can do something, and we can make a difference — perhaps not as an official or government-supported boycott of American goods, but as provinces.
Look for the maple leaf brand and buy local whenever possible. It can be as easy as switching from Florida orange juice to Annapolis Valley apple juice. There are lots of options to boost our sense of justice and pride in country. Businesses are urged to stick that Canadian symbol prominently on products heading for export. We need our Chinese, Japanese, Indian, European and other trading partners to know they are buying Canadian.
Canada has promised to retaliate equally on July 1 for the president's latest tariffs on steel and aluminum. It may well invite an additional American response. Trump is also escalating his tariff attacks on China and that country is promising to retaliate — with tariffs on U.S. lobster and soybeans, for example. If that happens, Atlantic Canadian farmers and fishermen could benefit.
It's easier during this summer season to buy local fruits and vegetables. It will be a truer test of our resolve later in the year when Canadian food products cost more. Can we make a trip to the supermarket and go "Trump-free" by not buying a single American product?
Incidentally, it might not seem important in the greater scheme of things, but why is our Canadian lobster known by the scientific moniker Homarus americanus?
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec fishermen and processors don't want to give overseas customers a false impression. It's time for a new genus — Homarus canadianus — and time to stamp those lobster crates proudly with that name and maple leaf.
As columnist Russell Wangersky notes, "if you're making a sacrifice for your principles, the general idea is that you have to sacrifice something."
If that means going without, paying a little more or buying a substitute product, then so be it. We can do it.

Malware reaches the Mac
A fake program called MacDefender has begun infecting Apple computers. Welcome to our world.
A fake program called MacDefender has begun infecting Apple computers. Welcome to our world.
Gotta love Apple's government approach though..."deny everything."
Gotta love Apple's government approach though..."deny everything."
Funny, but a bit overblown. The tabloid-like article, of course, forgot to explain the other parts of the memo (which, like any memo in a corporation, is "confidential"), like the sentence just before the one you're paraphrasing. The complete statement:
"AppleCare does not provide support fr removal of malware. You should not confrm or deny whether the customer's Mac is infected or not".
There's a good reason for that--if you don't support removal of malware, you can't mislead the customer by doing a half-assed job of helping them with malware.
Yet, Apple *does* tell support staff what to do if a customer has *not* run the malware installer. And it's the right thing.
The truth is, this is a tempest in a teacup: almost nobody has actually had problems with the malware harming their Mac.
This statement in the article is particularly humorous:
"For Apple, it's time to admit that there are threats to OS X users, and to start educating its customers on how to avoid them. Avoiding the issue is an unacceptable abdication of its duty to its customers."
Know why? Because Apple already does that, with over 150 web pages of help, and a range of other online and printed options.
The hardest thing for many to accept is just how hard (and rare) it is to fu*k with a Unix-based OS via malware, and how ridiculously easy it is to destroy a Windows-based machine. Entire IT staff livelihoods depend on Windows needing massive handholding, configuration, protection, bi-weekly updating, etc. This current one is junk, and doesn't do much at all--and it isn't the first time there's been an attempt at using malware to attack the Mac. in fact, it's the 17th.
And, Tell you what: call Microsoft and ask them to help you uninstall malware on your Windows PC. Go ahead, we'll wait. Or, call you hardware manufacturer and ask them the same question.
But it requires you to download it on purpose, and then enter your administrator password when prompted -- this is malware, but it's not scary Windows land where bad things happen for no good reason yet.
Apple says, "In the coming days, Apple will deliver a Mac OS X software update that will automatically find and remove Mac Defender malware and its known variants. The update will also help protect users by providing an explicit warning if they download this malware."
call Microsoft and ask them to help you uninstall malware on your Windows PC. Go ahead, we'll wait. Or, call you hardware manufacturer and ask them the same question.
I get your point. Fortunately, I don't need to worry about that. I build my own machines, and I can remove malware all by myself if I happen to get one. I do it for other people all the time.
Quite frankly, if you're dumb enough to blindly enter your admin credentials whenever the box pops up without asking yourself why it needs them, you deserve what you get.
That sentiment is platform-agnostic; be it Windows Vista / 7 with UAC, or Mac OS X, or pick-your-linux-distro.

AnalysisBy Issa Yussuf
Zanzibar — Last month, Mr Kunal Kapoor from Indian Film Industry visited Zanzibar as a special guest at the annual Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF).
And veteran politician Mr Zitto Kabwe of ACT-Wazalendo party had seized the opportunity to tie the knot on the island. Mr Kabwe, unknowingly, had joined a long list of eligible bachelors who had chosen Zanzibar as a 'wedding destination' and an ideal holiday spot for honeymoon.
Tourist operators and officials from the Zanzibar Commission for Tourism (ZCT) say many people also choose the islands for other celebrations.
The coming of Mr Kapoor from a family of traditions of cinema and theatre was facilitated by Zanzibar Tourism Promotion Centre (ZTPC) in India, set up in March 2015 under the Presidential initiative & vision between the Ministry of Information, Culture, Tourism & Sports -Government of Zanzibar, The Zanzibar Commission for Tourism & JHIL Enterprises, Mumbai, India.
The organisation aims to create awareness and promote Zanzibar and its tourism attractions on the Indian Sub Continent with a view to tapping a fast growing Indian Outbound Travel Industry.
The venture to bring Mr Kapoor- Bollywood actor and producer was spearheaded by Mr Jilesh Babla, a Tanzanian Citizen, who has been promoting Zanzibar & Tanzania in India from the past two decades.
"Our focus is to promote the islands to film makers and couples planning wedding parties. This will definitely increase the number of guests, including tourists visiting the islands," said Dr Ahmada Khatib- Chairman, Zanzibar Commission for Tourism (ZCT).
He said in collaboration with tourist operators, Tanzania ambassadors abroad, brochures, media and a website, his office has been advertising the islands as a holiday destination.
"The number of tourists from the new markets, mainly the Far East, like China and India has been increasing," Dr Khatib said. He said improved infrastructure and peace have added value to help get more tourists estimated to surpass, by next January, the current record of three-hundred thousands tourists per year.
Dr Khatib said Zanzibar is likely to surpass over fivehundred thousand tourists by 2020 target should the advertisement continue alongside security and political stability. The ZCT chairman said security situation in Mombasa, Kenya should not be linked to the increasing number of tourists visiting the islands.
"There is nothing to celebrate because terrorism and other crimes remain a global threat," he said.
He said a country cannot be happy when neighbour has problems. "We are now seeing big changes in tourism mainly because of advertising Zanzibar abroad, with focus on nations with emerging economies in Asia.
We have run adverts in the US and Western countries.
We are also promoting sustainable tourism to protect environment including conserving the beaches."
He said hunting for new markets is unavoidable because tourism is changing rapidly, as visitors need to have another 'taste' other than the traditional heritage, a challenge to the government and private enterprise to develop new approaches to the tourism market.
Zanzibar now identifies tourism as a priority sector to achieve its development goals as set out in the Vision 2020 strategy. T
ourism contributes about 27 percent to the Islands GPD annually. Mr Seif Masoud Al- Miskry, Chairman Zanzibar Association for Tourism Investors (ZATI) said that although the number of tourists has been increasing, the government has to increase marketing the islands. "So far there are prospects in the business.
According to the Hoteliers, record in July and this August is good. Thanks to the marketing initiatives by individual hotels and both governments (Zanzibar, Union), Mr Seif said.
He said the Mainland has been doing well in marketing, and "it is also to our advantage because after visiting the mainland, tourists also come to Zanzibar." The ZATI chairman said Scuba Diving, cycling tourism,' beach walking and other recreations are being promoted to attract more tourism, in addition the famous narrow streets and historical sites.
Minister for Information, Tourism, Culture, and Sports Mr Rashid Ali Juma has also appealed to stakeholders in tourism to promote local foods by establishing Zanzibar local foods Day. A
fter gracing the local foods day in Makunduchi Village, and similar day in Unguja- Ukuu village, both in the South of Zanzibar Island, the Minister said promoting the 'nearly' forgotten local cuisine would attract visitors.
According to tourism/visitors statistics from the Commission for Tourism, and Office of Chief Government statistician-Zanzibar (OCGSZ), the Islands have made a significant progress in developing and managing its tourism sector in recent years.
About 28,741 visitors/ tourists entered Zanzibar in March, 2016 which is an increase of 41.8 percent compared to corresponding month in March 2015 and a decrease of 15.9 percent compared to previous month. Europeans remain as the largest source of visitors to Zanzibar tourism.
Almost seven of every ten visitors (69.0 percent) who entered Zanzibar in March, 2016 were from Europe, Italians continue to dominate the Tourism market by accounting 17.0 percent of all visitors entered in March.
Germany follows by 12.6 percent and Scandinavian (8.1 percent) while New Zealand recorded the least (0.1 percent), and statistics shows that 25,003 visitors entered Zanzibar through Airport, among them 19,823 visitors came by international flights and 5,180 by domestic flights.
The remaining 3,738 visitors entered through seaport whereby 371 are day visitors (excursionist) and 3,367 entered by ferry boat from Tanzania Mainland. Generally, the number of visitors from emerging market increased by more than a hundred percent compared to corresponding month in 2015 and 17.8 percent compared to previous month.
The number of visitors from Israel significantly increased by more than hundred percent compared to corresponding month and previous month, moreover visitors from Ukraine and India declined by 86.4 and 26.1 percents respectively compared to previous month.

I disagree. He sounds emotionally equivalent to a young man.

I can't help but think if the roles where reversed and op was a guy and it was his gf your comment would be getting down voted
False_Stupidity | 41
He just wasn't lovin' it!
teentee401 | 36
I agree with you, except this wasn't just a stupid thing OP's BF did. He was angry about something trivial which lead him to do something stupid. I'm not saying break up, but if that's how he responds to disappointment (over something as dumb as fast food no less) she might need to have a serious talk with him.
SubparAtBest | 23
Or maybe he can handle really difficult life situations and he just struggles with simple things. Like food ,apparently you'd better not get between him and it.
10showgirl | 16
They're not married. It's not like people are saying "divorce". They should definitely break up.... He took her car, expected free food though it could cost her her job, then wrecked her car because he was angry. All good reasons to break up.
limabeans101029 | 20
19- This guy got angry with his boy/girlfriend because they didn't break the rules of their job by giving him free food; then, in this trivial fit of rage, proceeded to crash into another person with a car that wasn't his. Breaking up with him immediately sounds like a healthy option to me.
SPN_lover666 | 27
#19, I have done stupid things but not as stupid and reckless as what OP's boyfriend did. If he got that mad because OP didn't give him free food, there is no telling how violent he could get if she makes him mad again. So yes, OP needs to break up with him for her own safety.
By FunnnyGirrl | 19
Hopefully you have car insurance, and that it covers other people driving your car! Your boyfriend sounds very immature OP, make sure you hold him accountable for his stupidity
Today, I told my parents about the amazing guy I met. My mom immediately stormed out. My dad got up, looked at me and told me he's disappointed in me for "falling into the traps of the Internet," and leaves. I didn't meet him on the Internet. FML
