Fistful can (likely) rejoice. Both doctors said they think I'm having a girl. They still aren't 100% sure but it's highly probable.

lol, no.

Her computer was on its last legs anyways. I'm thinking about suggesting that she get a Dell Inspiron One. It should be all she needs, and it can be ordered with a Blu-ray player and a TV tuner.

Iraqi 'emo' youths reportedly killed by conservative militias

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17333275

Quote

Dozens of Iraqi teenagers have been killed in recent months by militias who consider them to be devil worshippers, human rights activists claim.

The young people are described as "emos", a term used in the West to refer to youths who listen to rock music and wear alternative clothing.

Reports say that up to 58 teenagers have been beaten to death or shot in the last month, most of them men.

Iraq's interior ministry recently described emos as devil worshippers.

In Iraq, the term emo is also conflated with homosexuality, which although legal is socially and religiously taboo.
'Threatened'

Militias in Baghdad's conservative Shia neighbourhood of Sadr City have distributed leaflets with the names of 20 young people they say should be punished.

In a statement on his website, Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr described emo youths as "crazy and fools", but said they should be dealt with within the law.

"They are a plague on Muslim society, and those responsible should eliminate them through legal means," he said.

Mustafa, a young Iraqi, told the BBC he feels "threatened" when he wears black clothing.

"The Iraqi people look at you in a bad way," he said. "It is even worse when the Iraqi security for example arrest those in black or in the emo groups."

The interior ministry said it had not recorded any anti-gay or anti-emo killings, but said recent murders in Baghdad could be attributed to "revenge, or social, criminal, political or cultural reasons".

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, based in New York, told Agence France Presse that nearly 40 people have been kidnapped, tortured or killed in Iraq since February in a "new surge of anti-gay violence".

I got what my doc told me was a nasty cold about a month ago. Eventually it wore off, but the cough hung around. While I was on vacation, I was still coughing. One coughing fit made my right side hurt. After a week of pain, I got it checked out. Turns out I pulled a muscle that's attached to my ribcage by coughing hard. It's not going away because I still have to cough here and there. It's really annoying and painful. I want some ubermeds to knock me out.

Hey PeeDee are you getting your MPA? Or just undergrad? I'm scrambling to look into scholarships and financial aid. Any tips?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13004 on:** March 12, 2012, 07:28:27 PM »

I'm working on an accounting and IS Bachelor's, after which I plan on entering the work force/internship; I plan on going back for my masters/CPA afterward. I'm not really a good person to talk to about financial aid, I won a local scholarship and my uncle paid the rest.

My friend has an internship with BoA and they offer a bonus to interns who pass the CPA on first try, and pay for your CPA training materials in certain cases. So I'm definitely looking for a set up along those lines if possible.

Going to get up in less than 7 hours, drag a couple bags to the airport, and get on a flight to Osaka. 12+ hours this time; I guess DST makes everything longer. Really tired, fighting allergies, and really wanting to be home again for a bit.
