In addition: I teach in deep East Oakland. One of my students was shot over the summer and is still on crutches because of his fractured femur. Another student was at a family birthday party right before the first day of school and 4 people were shot, including her uncle, who died. There are always...

I felt the Korra world had moved on very quickly for just 90 years or so. But I still liked it and I'm into steampunk anyway.

This series is meant to have mor spirit world which will be nice as I think that's what I missed second to most, after Aang of course.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series is a brilliant set of books for a crime thriller. As for Shakespeare I agree with Max, but I also ...

Most Webexs that I'm bullied into attending very rarely are of any significance and could've been avoided by an effective email or process. It's often just where people can't describe or tell you what needs to be done effectively.

Basically tumblr has been used in loads of spam lately so one of the 5 anti spam sites we fees from has put an automated block up.

I've put a request in to unblock it.

Joys of poor countried being paid to spam .

Tumblr shouldn't be blocked...
