Groundskeeper Willie says YES for Scottish independence!
49% yes 51% no so far according to cnn Scotland's voters make their choice in independence referendum Glasgow, Scotland (CNN) -- Scotland's voters are heading to the polls Thursday to cast their ballots in a landmark referendum on independence from the United Kingdom. There, they will face a straightforward yes/no question: Should Scotland be an independent country? More than 4.2 million people have registered to vote, the largest electorate ever in Scotland, and turnout in the referendum is expected to be high. A vote for independence would mean Scotland, with its population of about 5.3 million, splits from the rest of the United Kingdom, made up of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Voting can take place from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. local time (2 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) at more than 5,500 polling stations across 32 districts nationwide, from the remote highlands and islands to the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. What you need to know Voting was brisk at one polling station in Glasgow as the polls opened, with many people voting on the way to work or before taking their children to school. Results from the different areas will come in overnight into Friday morning local time, with Chief Counting Officer Mary Pitcaithly expected to announce the outcome "around breakfast time." Bad weather or the sheer volume of votes cast could slow down the counting process. However, the weather forecast appears good so far -- important when some ballot boxes must be collected by helicopter, plane or boat from polling stations on distant islands. A simple majority is needed for either side to claim victory. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, who has led the pro-independence "Yes Scotland" campaign, cast his ballot Friday morning in the village of Strichen, Aberdeenshire. Labour lawmaker Alistair Darling, who has headed the pro-union "Better Together" campaign -- backed by the main parties in Westminster -- voted in Edinburgh, while former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, another pro-union campaigner, voted in the town of Kirkcaldy. For the first time, the vote has been extended to 16- and 17-year-olds living in Scotland. Nearly 110,000 people younger than 18 have registered to vote. Voters in the referendum do not have to be British citizens; Commonwealth, Irish and EU citizens who live in Scotland and are registered to vote there can cast a ballot. However, Scots living outside Scotland do not have a say. Nearly 790,000 people applied for a postal vote -- the largest volume of registration for postal votes ever in Scotland. CNN, like other broadcasters, is following rules that restrict reporting on details of campaigning until after the polls close. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/18/world/europe/scotland-independence-vote/index.html

Wong Fu Productions
I love these guys! They are movie junkers who make short movies mostly romantic, comedy, and some wongfu weekends (they post videos every week for the sake of their weekly activities). They are originally Taiwanese but based in US, so they are basically Asian-American. If you're asian or asian-american, you must have known them :P This is one of my favorites, reminds me of someone I loved and left me for my best friend. Watching this made me realize that I'm not feeling it alone, it hurts so badly and the video says it all and so true. :\ [video=youtube;tSdELZxEnHY]

LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"
Now I'm starting to worry about the new era. Chris's musical taste has been changed.. I understand people changed as years go by, but I'm afraid if he is starting to go for mainstream music like sounded other mainstream bands that are too popular. I know there is no going back to the days like :arobtth: or even like :parachutes: but I feel I wanted to listen more of the music resemblance like their first two albums, they are flawless, beautiful, and ridiculously good.. :viva: is one of the top albums of all time in the history, but I'm more into :mx: however, except POC :P. If the band could mix up the way they make music more of :viva: and :arobtth: with some :parachutes: I think I would still recall them as the best band in the world again :) :gs: album is not one of their best, but it is exceptional and personal and still my favorite atm I can say, so it's still acceptable for me at least :) I hope the new era won't have too much EDMs, Midnight and ASFOS are more than enough. I can listen to nowadays music is just having too much party with EDMs, I'm quite done with it now. Need more new genre, prolly Coldplay could make a new genre called 'Yellow' or 'Life in Technicolor' or whatever they name it :P
