► Today is all about the communities you live and work in. Your place in the world will be something you'll be questioning today, and that is totally normal and wonderfully healthy. Do you take the same role in every situation? Are you always the leader, always the follower, or do you take turns in this role? These are the questions you should address; you need to make sure you're being true to yourself and not compromising for the sake of popularity or politics. This is not a race! It may feel like it, but almost all the pressure is coming from within. You need to slow down and take things as they come today, or you risk burning yourself out too quickly.

I do not have a plan to shed tears today, but the title of this news makes me shed tears because of some reason. Maybe because I find myself completely outside the scope of the topic, or because I look at my baby and my partner are both fast asleep, or because I am the only person awake at this time in here, or because the trumpet is sounding a sad eternity, or because love is indeed beautiful and sad, or maybe because I realize that death will come in very briefly and just for once, just like when we fall in love for the first time.

And there's a time when I feel only my death loves me sincerely.

► If people came with warning labels, yours would say something like, '"Danger. Do not test me." Heaven help anyone who decides that it might be fun to see just how far you can be verbally pushed, because right about now, it won't be very far at all. Of course, as fiery as you are, this situation isn't all that rare, so the next best thing would be to have a t-shirt made up for occasions such as this. You've got something real staring you in the face -- and it may be tempting to turn away. You've got some good energy, for sure, but if you aren't up to this challenge, call in the reinforcements.

What do you mean? Do you know that I can do anything to you if I do not like you? Example: I can strike you, or I can remove you or I do not care about you at all. Or I do not want to read you again or I can make a decision to part from you for ever. And then you're just a series of sentences for your own self. But I feel it's too cruel for me to do that to you. Why? Because I am letting myself become like you. Be several lines for readability.

So, it does not matter. Test me. Dahling, you better stay out of this issue. Please get away for a while.

Eheheh, I know why you ask him to get away for a while, Cisca! ahahaha.... but do not worry, I'm not going to tell him.

Ordinary people will recognize the term as a pseudo pregnancy.

What? Conspiracy? Can you explain in detail about how the plot, characterizations and its internal conflict?

Then, I'm sure Eric Garcetti will cope with the itching with scratching gently but surely.

► Pearl Harbor The View From Japan 1994. On December 7, 1941, explosions rocked Pearl Harbor and altered the course of history. Now, meet the man who executed the attack. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was a military genius who brought modern warfare into the aerial age. Although opposed to attacking the United States and "awakening the sleeping giant," Admiral Yamamoto dedicated his life to the battle that devastated U.S. morale and forced America into World War II.

In an interesting historical departure, this fascinating documentary analyzes the attack on Pearl Harbor from the Japanese point of view and focuses on Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese military mastermind who (though bitterly opposed) planned the attack on the U.S. fleet anchored in Hawaii. If history is written by the victors, this view of the events of December 7, 1941, fills an important gap in the historical narrative of World War II.

It is somewhat mis-titled, for it actually briefly covers the entire ill-fated Pacific campaign. It has a strong focus on Admiral Yamamoto himself--his foresight and vision as a military leader, and his reluctance to enter into a fight with the U.S. It is interesting to hear a few words from the Japanese perspective, yet it seems that is all you get--a few words. There is little groundwork laid which might explain more fully Japan's reasons for attacking us.

■ Texas fertilizer plant explosion registers as earthquake, many buildings leveled. The explosion occurred Wednesday at a fertilizer plant in the town of West, north of Waco, Texas. A fireball of nearly 30 meters high has been reported along with a massive power outage. The US Geological Survey registered the explosion as a 2.1 magnitude quake, adding that "the magnitude measures only the ground motion, not the air wave, so is substantially less than the true size of the event."
