President Barack Obama has nominated former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission.
White served New York's Southern District for nearly a decade, specializing in investigating and prosecuting large-scale white-collar crimes along with securities and banking fraud.
She also served as director of the NASDAQ stock exchange.
In accepting her nomination, White thanked her husband for his support and said Thursday is also her 43rd wedding anniversary.
White House officials say her experience will be essential to the administration's efforts to implement Wall Street reform.

Call it "tire retread tape"- but put in small letters that it is for cosmetic use only.
But basically it would be a nylon reinforced duct tape (with the nylon perforated every foot for tearing off the roll) with a pvc surface texture that looked like tire tread and a special duct tape glue that cured even harder once heated.
Some people might get quite a bit of extra run time on bald tires.
But like the picture- I suspect most are just trying to get a bad tire to last until they get their next paycheck.... and they still have three days of work before that.

I can get on board with selling a dumb product to dumb people for profit, but I'd be a bit uneasy about sending 2 ton steel objects down the road with false confidence in the drivers that their tires will hold up in an emergency at 60mph (or any other speed for that matter).
In other words, the innocent drivers could be paying for the dumb drivers' mistakes.

My friend bought a Continental Mark II that has "only" been underwater for an hour. The oil flowed out and the water flowed in.

I hate to admit it but this actually happened to me but on a smaller scale. A design flaw on the first generation Dodge Journey SUV's allowed A/C condensation (aka water) to accumulate and drip down into the transmission vent tube. We bought a brand new 2009 model, put about 500 miles on it before the tranny puked. Towed to the dealership where they literally drained over 2 cups of water out of the transmission. No joke. Talked to a MOPAR engineer who told me about the A/C condensation "oversight". I was not happy. I guess there's a reason they have a lifetime powertrain warranty....

Again, you say that without having lived it, as have I, but I've known and worked with quite a few people who were pretty much distitute, but had jobs, and their jalopy was the only way to get to/from work.
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot have people work to keep themselves off welfare and then disparage those same people from skimping on anything they can to make ends meet. As I said before, try living on your own for $1200/month gross ... now understand that many people in this country are raising a FAMILY on that amount of money. People do what they need to do to get by and for one, I'd rather them grind through a set of brake rotors than go without food for a week.
People in this country are so blind to the blight of so, so, so many.
I love all the brake rotor pics. It makes me feel so much less retarded about my own rotor horror show posted below.

So unbelievably delicious...I used andouille sausage, twice as much chicken and no ham, crushed tomatoes instead of diced (I have a rather childish issue toward the texture of tomatoes) and added a few dashes of Sriracha (would have used regular hot sauce, but I didn't have any and didn't realize it until I went to add it). Used 1 1/2 tsp cajun spice blend instead of salt, pepper and thyme. Wow was it good. I'm going to sub shrimp for the ham next time, and there will definitely be a next time!

Automotive Employment Information
Automotive Industry Overview
The US automotive repair and maintenance industry includes about 165,000 locations with total annual revenue of $85 billion, according to Hoovers. The largest companies offering automotive jobs in this sector include Meineke, Midas, Monro Muffler Brake, Precision Auto Care and Safelite Group. The auto service industry is highly fragmented. The 50 largest companies generate less than 10 percent of revenue. Most jobs in automotive service are with independent shops and one of the country's 45,000 auto dealerships.
US auto manufacturing is dominated by GM, Ford and Chrysler and increasingly by Asian automakers such as Toyota and Honda. Detroit's Big Three ring up about $200 billion in annual sales, according to Hoovers. Car dealers bring in about $700 billion at retail.
Automotive Job Market
Automotive service technicians and mechanics held more than 720,000 jobs in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Nearly 1.7 million people held jobs at motor vehicle and parts dealers as of June 2012, the BLS reports. A further 153,310 worked in motor vehicle manufacturing as of May 2011.
Much job growth in the automotive service industry will be concentrated toward the high and low ends of technological expertise. All vehicles need oil changes and brake shoe replacement, so the skills required to perform these low-tech tasks will remain in demand. At the high end, computer diagnostics of engines and other vehicle systems are continuously evolving, so auto technicians with the ability to keep up with these changes should find automotive work. As carmakers strive to make their products safer and more fuel efficient in response to consumer demand and government mandate, automotive engineers should find ample automotive job opportunities.
New car dealers, having suffered a wave of consolidation through the 2007-2009 recession, are now cautiously increasing headcount, according to an April 2012 IBISWorld report.
Common automotive careers include auto mechanic, automotive service manager, service writer, automotive sales manager, automotive mechanical engineer, automotive applications engineer and automotive plant manager.
Automotive Salaries
Automotive service technicians and mechanics earned mean wages of $38,560 in May 2011, according to the BLS. Average salaries for mechanical engineers working in motor vehicle manufacturing were $95,080. Team assemblers earned an average of $47,570.

Section: Mt. Rainier News
George Dunn becomes first to summit Mount Rainier 500 times
CRAIG HILL; Staff writer
Not even snow, strong winds and a nearby lightning strike could keep George Dunn out of the record books Saturday morning.
At 6:10 a.m., Dunn became the first person to reach the 14,411-foot summit of Mount Rainier 500 times.
"It was a little spicy," said International Mountain Guides' Tye Chapman, relaying a satellite phone message from the party about the conditions.
Chapman said the group nearly turned back several times but determined it could safely reach the summit.
Dunn's climbing party included his longtime friend and fellow IMG director Phil Ershler. Ershler has the second-most Rainier summits, getting his 440th Saturday. Ershler, 59, says it's unlikely he'll ever match Dunn's landmark.
Also reaching the summit with Dunn was his 16-year-old son, Jeremy, who was making his first climb. Dunn's wife, Nancy; Ershler's wife, Sue; and IMG director Eric Simonson and guide Jason Edwards also were in the group.
The summit was the 283rd for Simonson, who extended to 41 his record of consecutive years with at least one summit. Saturday was Edwards' 315th summit, sixth-most of all time.
The group left Ingraham Flats, about 11,000 feet up the mountain, shortly after midnight.
Members had originally planned to summit Friday morning but changed their schedule to honor a commitment to ascend with a fundraising climb benefiting the Washington National Park Fund.
Dunn's 500 summits covered 9,000 miles and 4.5 million vertical feet. The climbs typically lasted two or more days, but some were five-day climbs in winter conditions. Dunn has taken part in at least 100 other climbs in which participants turned around below the summit because of dangerous conditions.
"It's an amazing accomplishment," IMG director Paul Baugher said before the climb. An injury kept Baugher from joining the climb. "Every climb is long and hard. It's willing yourself to keep going upward. You have people pulling on the back of the rope. You have days when the weather is horrible. But George loves it. He has a dedication. He keeps grinding it out and finds something positive on every trip."
Dunn climbed Rainier for the first time in the late 1960s while attending Renton High School. He began serving as a guide for RMI in 1975.
Dunn also has guided climbs worldwide, including on Mount Everest – which, at 29,029 feet, is more than twice as tall as Rainier – in 1991.
Only three men have climbed Mount Rainier 400 times, and only eight have 300 summits.

A couple Months ago I was talking to Clifford performance and he was talking about upgrading the stock distributor machining it for a Mallory unilite distributor. Has anyone done this? Can you elaborate?
I suggest going with Randy Maas Ignition www.21stcenturyHudson.net or Ron Fellows ... Ignition firstname.lastname@example.com
What does that consist of? This us my first time hearing of those. I've never seen it on his wbsite
What the Maas' sell are Pertronix points replacements. They replace the mechanical points with an electrical pickup. Ron sells a GM HEI unit worked over to fit the Hudson six.
The points can trigger most of the multi-spark ignition boxes out there as well, acting as just a switch. You can also trigger most of the early OEM electronic units with the points. I have a HEI setup under the hood, and the Ford TFI is easier still.Six in a row makes it GO! -
I have a pertronix setup now. I'm trying to figure what to do for the 308 I'm building. Clifford said that its something with the advance curve of the unilite 6 cyl distributors that is different then stock. He said the v8s need hotter spark where 6cyls need the spark sooner. And that advancing the timing couldn't compensate. I bought a msd 6al before speaking with him and he said return it and just run that distributor with a good coil and upgraded wires. But I also see Mallory has a 6al.
My father has done this on 8-10 vehicles over the years especially on the performance hudsons. He may let go of one since we got two set up in stock vehicles and can change them to pertronix. His email is email@example.com
Which setup? The Mallory or the hei?
The mallory unilite
Thank you I will email him.

Support John Waite into the Rock Hall Of Fame
The Babys -- as lead singer/bassist of this seminal English band who are still adored worldwide. The vocal alone on Isn't It Time warrants entry, as the bridge itself is so mountainous, and the top notes hit with the same wild intensity as those in the lower velvet range.
The Voice -- that sparkling rock and roll voice. Huskier for sure, yet crushed and silken as ever, with steadfast nuanced delivery and phrasing. Interpreter of Dylan and others that often outshine the originals.
Rough & Tumble -- off the astonishing album charted way up high on adult contemporary charts. If You Ever Get Lonely has already been covered by the band Love & Theft.
The Songs -- with lyrical vibrancy of melodic and harmonic beauty. A staggering reworking of Missing You with Alison Krauss into soulful country blues, forging a line right down to the very roots of rock and roll.
Missing You in Warm Bodies
Rocker John Waite went to the movies in Los Angeles a couple of days ago to see Warm Bodies. His 1984 hit "Missing You" plays during a pivotal part of the Jonathan Levine film–a moment where the action shifts from the terrifying to the tender. "I was really very pleased," says Waite. "It's a great movie."
For those who haven't yet seen it, the movie is based on the Isaac Marion novel of the same name and takes place after an unnamed catastrophe has obliterated much of the planet, leaving behind a population of zombies. One in particular, R (Nicholas Hoult) eats the brains of Julie's (Teresa Palmer) boyfriend, ingests his memories, and falls in love with her. Because he's a zombie he can only grunt and groan, so music plays an important part in the wooing process. The soundtrack for the film is filled with welcome surprises: "Patience" by Guns 'N Roses, "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen, "Rock You Like Hurricane" by the Scorpions and "Midnight City" by M83.
But, says Jonathan Levine, the "Missing You" addition almost didn't happen. "I'd love to take credit for this, usually I do for music but that's something my music editor put in. I'll take credit for liking it," says Levine, who had written "I Remember You" by Skid Row into the script for that scene. But, he says, "It didn't work rhythmically and we put ["Missing You"] in and everything just clicked."
Waite says that he wrote the lyrics to the number one song in about ten minutes. "I took the first line of the song from a baby's song–every time I think of you–to get me going," he says. "Then I wrote the entire thing without stopping. It was a magical thing that happens when you're flying. I think that's why it has some wings–it's unpretentious. This all sounds rather lofty but it really was from the heart."
Great Insights
Interview with John Waite giving insights in his relations, wish to marry and settle down.He almost got married two years ago again. If You Ever Get Lonely is about that pain! He doesnt reveal the name of the woman though. John is to sincere to do that. It's all about Integrity.
But also on the guitarplayer of The Babys, with whom he almost never spoke. John never mentions the name. And what John would have done now, in the same situation. What did John learn ?
Live as a lead singer and the many women he met. But also about art and that democracy in a band doesnt lead to better art! being self critical. Well one has to hear this one surely. Take the time and enjoy.Wouter Kramer.

ONE of Lancaster's favourite sons has joined forces with a former President of the United States for a very good cause.
ONE of Lancaster's favourite sons has joined forces with a former President of the United States for a very good cause.
Rock star John Waite met Bill Clinton at a recent health summit at the swish Ritz Carleton hotel in Laguna Beach, California.
Lancaster-born John, famed for his worldwide smash 'Missing You', is friends with Joe Kiani, the medical entrepreneur who hosted the Patient Safety, Science and Technology conference.
The event aimed to sign up manufacturers and developers of health monitoring devices hoping to reduce unnecessary patient deaths in the USA.
Kiani, owner of leading health technology company Masimo, has been described as the "Bill Gates of the medical world".
"It's a very moving thing – many of us have had loved ones who have been in care and didn't survive," said John, speaking exclusively to The Visitor from his home in Santa Monica, California.
"Joe is trying to create a database where every doctor can have access to every patient's complete medical history.
"President Clinton gave a tremendous speech."
Waite, who was educated at the Storey Art College in Lancaster, has enjoyed two number one hits in America – 'Missing You' in 1984 and 'When I See You Smile' as lead singer with Bad English in 1989.
'Missing You' was also a Top 10 hit in the UK and was covered by Tina Turner.
The rocker, 60, returns home to Lancaster on a regular basis.
He played a live gig at the Grand Theatre in 2011 and was back for three weeks at Christmas to visit friends and family, including his proud mum Veronica, who lives in Scotforth.
"Lancaster is still very much part of my life because it's a great city," he said.
"I'm currently mixing an album and working on just a few bigger gigs this year, which opens up more time for me to come home.
"I was just thinking, why is it that the first thing you see driving into Lancaster is a KFC?
"I'll be back in the spring for a nice holiday. You'll find me in the Boot and Shoe!"

[have video] Front Squat - hips hurt - help correct technique please
Jun 26, 2012, 08:20 PM »
Sorry the video is really poor. Mine own camera is broken, so used friends mobile. Best I can do for now.
So I have a pain in the hips from doing front squat. It feels like it's right in the joint there, around the hip flexors. It happens at all weighted front squats, though obviously the heavier I go the worse it gets. It's really stopped me from training, and hurts when I walk after I train, so it's very important to fix.
I know I need weightlifting shoes (and a proper floor, too LOL). I'll get them. But I don't know if that's what actually causes the pain. I tried front squating in runners with a quite high heel and it hurt all the same - though maybe it was only hurting because I had ALREADY had the injury. I don't know.
The pain is not just regular muscle soreness in the hip flexors, either. I've been doing martial arts for years, so I know what the sweet pain of a good work out feels like. This is more like sharp shin splints in my hip joints rather than anything else.
I've only learned to do front squats in the last few months. Though I started at a lower weight to practice technique. It was not until I started doing over 60 kilo regularly that it really started to become a problem.
I've been searching the net for answers, but thus far found nothing I'm certain is sound. Most the info I've found regards backsquats, which are quite different, so I don't know if the info is relative, despite people explaining the same sorts of pain.
Please tell me if you can figure what might actually be causing the pain and how to fix it. Thank you.

I've watched the video and your hips don't move abnormally from what I could see. Your elbows are too close to vertical and the bar does not seem to sit comfortably on your shoulders

Try this to see if it helps. I am very slow at responding as I have a new job that has me working 60 hours a week.
For warm-ups do sumo squat to stands.
Sumo Squat to Stand
After each workout session. Get in a squat stance and sit into a deep squat (all the way down) for 20 seconds. Do this for 5 sets. I am assuming you are training at least 5 days a week? Give it a week or two and see if it helps.

Have you integrated some of the advice I suggested? Has it helped at all? After working out yesterday while tight, it seems most of my hip discomfort stems for being tight.

I am getting around to trying all things. I took a couple weeks off training to help the pain dissappear completely. Now I've only just started training again with my better knowledge of what I've learned.
I have not tried that funny style squat warm up thing yet. I was usually doing kick boxing on the bag for 5 mins before lifting for a warm up. It helps losen the body and warm the blood. But just last few days I've just been doing weightless squats and squats with the bar for warm up. I am frankly more of the opinion that it is a technical thing that is to blame, rather than a issue of just not warming up. Also keep in mind I live in Thailand - you never get "cool" in tropical heat to start with, so "warming up" isn't hard. That's not to say I'm sure that the problem IS in technique,.
So the things I have fixed, thanks to few but myself,
Don't push the hips back when starting the squat. Instead sit directly down, like you're lowering yourself onto a dildo and trying not to enjoy it.
Push the knees outward and keep them outward at the beginning of the squat and for the duration of it
Try to keep the weight on the heels, not leaning forward on the toes - this is also easier if you push the bar back further against your throat and choke yourself some, I found
Those are basically the errors in the video about I managed to find. I'm also trying wearing shoes and putting 5 kilo weights under my heels too to help keep me up. But this doesn't really seem to fix anything - keeping the weight on the heels seems to be more about choking yourself out with a bar than elevating your heels, I think. But no doubt shoes are better than bare feet.
But none of this seems to have helped. I can still feel the pain. Though it's not as bad, but I havn't gone heavy yet, either, and nor as frequent. No doubt it will return when I do? But I'm still working on the technique.
I'll try warming up more, I guess. Make sure I'm sweating and my legs are working before I start. I also have a feeling doing the squats a bit faster with less pause at the bottom will help. And I think flat footed might be better than focusing on the heels, so long as the weight never goes entirely on the toes - I mean, watching Hossein lift, you can see he IS using the whole foot. So if I have to retard myself to only using the heels, I don't think I'll make progress anyway...
I'm kind of hoping the problem will just dissappear now. I have good technique. I'll try warm up more, but I don't know what else I could do. It's just a bitch.

How come this thread got somany views and so few damn replies? Thanks for the help, people.
Anyway, I've managed to find a way to front squat reducing the pain by about 80%. Now I can do the clean and jerk and return to training normally. Though the pain is still there, it's a lot less severe. Maybe oneday I'll get rid of it entirely if I keep working on the technique.
The technique is to not only do all the stuff I mentioned on the above post, but on the ascent, just after the hard part of the squat and just before the pain starts to show, slow down and raise the chest up more and bring the hips in, but don't bring the knees in until after the hips are in. So basiically it is to straighten out the chest and hips BEFORE bringing the knees in, and it stops the tight muscles in the groin/hips there from pulling. It makes sense. You start the squat by pushing the knees out and then breaking at the hips, so you should finish it by mirroring that - bringing the hips in and then bringing the knees in. I am also not straightening the knees or hips out 100% anymore at the end of the squat. There's no real need to and it just makes the pain tingle a bit so I just stop just before that.
So the pain appears to be caused by the small muscles in the crotch/hip joint region there getting pulled on the ascent. Does no one have any experience in this problem?
Or was I just born with tight hips as a curse?
In any case, I've fixed it enough now as to keep training. So I am good enough for now.

From what I was suggesting was not that you are not warming up but that you are tight. The squat to stand is just a drill to add to your usual warm-up. I do about 5 and then move on, it takes about a minute, I also warm up with a set of 10 overhead squats. Like I said when I feel like I am getting a pull or a catch sort of pain sensation from the hip flexors it is usually because my hips are tight. If you work a job were you sit all the time your hip flexors will get tight. You are probably not getting much advice because it is very difficult to diagnose your problem, it could be many factors, biological or technique it is hard to pinpoint.

It's me. I just made a new account because want to use this username.
I did try stretching my legs a lot to loosen up the hips and giving myself a real good warm up flexability wise. It didn't really help.
But like you say, hard to know what the problem is. I've nearly fixed it now, but. It is basically keeping the hips in and the chest up,
especially on the top of the ascent.
So basically it was just bad technique. It might also be biological, as you say, and I was born with retarded short hip muscles that over stretch too easy. But I can resume training now and the pain is only very slight, maybe going, so all is well in Atlantis once more.

- Ohio's housing markets still face a number of challenges, such as elevated foreclosure rates and a prevalence of vacant, low-value housing. This paper suggests five areas where policy interventions are worth considering. Read more
- Housing Recovery?
- The lowest point of the housing bust was characterized by a glut of supply. Homes for sale remained on the market longer, and foreclosed homes and those with mortgages in default added to or threatened to add to this inventory. As a result, prices fell, and construction of new homes fell to extremely low levels. While there are many encouraging signs of recovery in housing markets at the national level, there is a good amount of variation in the degree of recovery across the country. Read more
- Why Are the CPI and the PCE Giving Different Estimates of Inflation?
- In January 2012, the Federal Open Market Committee announced that its long-run objective for inflation was 2 percent as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index. At the time, the PCE appeared to be moving toward this target. But since then, PCE-based measures have drifted down. Toward the end of 2011, the year-over-year change in the PCE was close to 3 percent, but by March, when the PCE fell 0.1 percent, the 12-month percent change in the index had fallen to just under 1 percent. This has prompted some FOMC participants to suggest recently that the Committee may need to act to address this disinflation. Read more

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- It may be the end of April, but parts of Central New York are dealing with snow and slick driving conditions.
An accident on Interstate 81 south shut down the highway for several hours earlier this morning. The accident was minor, but the wintry mix made it difficult for crews to clean up the scene.
This somewhat unexpected burst of snow dropped as much as a half-foot for some areas in Central New York.
According to the National Weather Service, a spotter in the Cayuga County town of Locke reported seven inches of snow as of 6 a.m. The city of Cortland saw nearly four inches, and the Onondaga County town of Tully saw four-and-a half inches.
The storm is beginning to wind down, but for the latest conditions in your area, visit the Weather section of our website.

Tumblr, do you *really* want to sell to Yahoo!? After what happened to GeoCities?
Rumors are flying this evening that Yahoo! is on the verge of acquiring Tumblr. A deal may be finalized this weekend, so long as Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer can get approval from Yahoo's board of directors.
Yahoo is thought to have offered $1.1 billion for Tumblr. The company apparently considers itself worth more than that and is trying to get Yahoo to pony up even more, even though it has paltry revenue compared to more established tech titans.
The report about the behind the scenes negotiations reminded me of a news item from fourteen years ago: the sale of GeoCities to Yahoo for $3.4 billion. Yahoo spent more than three times the amount of money on GeoCities in 1999 that it is proposing to spend now to acquire Tumblr. What happened to GeoCities? It was ingloriously shuttered a few years ago. So much for that acquisition.
The rationale for buying GeoCities was that it would add a lot of value to Yahoo. That's what geniuses like Scott Appleby said at the time:
Analysts say the potential acquisition of GeoCities, or a company like it, is a must for Yahoo!.
"I really think it's the only strategy," says Scott Appleby, an analyst with ABN Amro, adding that the growth cycle of the Internet is still in its infancy.
"Customers and consumers are still building behavior patterns," he says. "Now is the time to build your network, now is the time to build your brand and AOL has proven that now is the time to build your business."
In retrospect, the Yahoo-GeoCities deal doesn't look so rosy. Yahoo is still around - but GeoCities is not. So much for GeoCities being a must-have.
Research has repeatedly shown that most corporate mergers and acquisitions fail to create value for shareholders. The business press loves to report on deals and rumored deals, but that has no bearing on whether they make business sense. That explains why dealmaking generates more headlines than returns.
Which leads us to ask: Tumblr, do you *really* want to sell to Yahoo? This is the company that bought Delicious and was going to close it before it found a buyer to keep it running. This is the company that let Flickr go into a stall. And this is the company that bought GeoCities for a whopping $3.4 billion in 1999 and then extinguished it ten years later. Don't think the payout you'll be getting will be any kind of insurance against a similar fate for Tumblr down the road.
So, David Karp and team, think long and hard before you decide to sell. Look at what happened to the other companies that Yahoo bought.
And heck, ask Yahoo about it. You might want to drop the word "GeoCities" during the negotiations and see what kind of reaction that elicits.

CBO says the federal deficit has shrunk - but the traditional media isn't reporting it
Media Matters: "Following months of media calls for deficit reduction, cable news channels spent just over 7 minutes reporting on a revised Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projection that the 2013 deficit will decline by more than previous estimates. Broadcast network news evening shows did not cover the new report."

If the NDP wants to form government, they need to stop relying the belief that the Liberals will simply play themselves out of power in British Columbia and find their nerve. Offer clear policies which promise change in and of themselves by addressing the concrete needs of British Columbians; not vague promises that someday, things will be better.
— Michael Stewart: Eby and Heyman offer answers to NDP heartbreak

There's very little legislating going on the House floor.

4. | cannonball | ||
A metallic, spherical object that does not hover nor float. Often shot out of a cannon. The feather floated. Much in the way a cannonball does not.
1. | cannonball | ||
January 5, 2005 Urban Word of the Day
A "dive" in which you hold your knees to your chest and hit the water with your fat ass with as much force as possible with the purpose of creating a gigantic splash, thus soaking everyone in the near vicinity. That cannonball your mother just performed strangely reminded me of the movie "Deep Impact".
2. | cannonball | ||
The term cannonball was first used by Carl Kearney Spackler (Bill Murray) in the masterpiece film Caddyshack. To do a cannonball you must first fill your lungs with weed smoke, while holding the smoke in you drink liquor. Preferably Johnnie Black. And take big swig not a little pussy shot. Then exhale. Say "Cannonball" and pass the bong and Johnnie black to your boy n-word Drew and repeat until liquor is finished (nobone in their right mind would ever run out of weed.) The best time for cannonballs is wednesdays at 10:30 during the Chappelle show. The best mix for this is Johnnie Black and Sour Diesel from the wiseman, Veil. After I Kobed her I took a few cannnballs.
3. | Cannonball | ||
A sexual act in which a man places a testicle into the woman's vagina and she queefs it back out with force.
Genny gave me a nice cannonball last night.
5. | Cannonball | ||
To propel a used condom towards someone or a group of people I was misbehaving in PE so the teacher cannonballed me.
6. | cannonball | ||
when a male is about to ejaculate and the partner is across the room and the sperm reaches the partner causing it to fly through the air "lay down over there so i can cannonball you"
7. | Cannonball | ||
Cannonball is to be said when your about to blow dual clouds of smoke. It is when you hit the weed either during or right after smoking goo1z. Ideally the word 'cannonball' should be drawn out like "Cannnnonnnballll". Much like when your jumping in water. A thrilling experience ! And then I heard "Cannonball" and the Big Bright Ideas started !

Mr. Stone's plein aire work is acclaimed for generating brilliance and luminosity; a direct result he emphasizes, of how he is engaged by the effect of natural light on his subject.
Don Stone's work is internationally recognized for his distinct American point of view. His choice of subject reflects his deeply rooted respect for the American tradition of realism as well as his personal history. Don has lived most of his eighty-one years on the New England coast, but it is his experience working on the wharfs in Gloucester and painting from a lobster boat on Monhegan Island, that evolved this modern impressionist painter into the master he is today.
Don is a graduate of the famed Vespar George School of art where he later became a faculty member. His mentor was Paul Strisik, NA (1918-1998), who developed his passion for plein aire painting and introduced him to some of the most important Cape Ann artists of the day, including renowned painters: Aldro Hibbard (1886—1972) and Emile Gruppe (1896-1978).
Don has lived his eighty-one years with content and success by being true to his personal philosophies which he often shares with other artists; in the artistsown words: "Paint for yourself and to make yourself happy; Don't paint to sell; If you do a great painting it will sell; Work hard, be devoted and believe in what you are doing; Be honest and sincere in your painting; Seek beauty in nature."
Mr. Stone's memberships are among the most prestigious professional associations in the country and are a testament to his vast achievements; they include: the National Academy of Design (Academician, N.A.), the American Watercolor Society (Dolphin Fellow), The American Society of Marine Artists (Fellow); Allied Artists of America, Copley Society of Boston (Copley Master), The Guild of Boston and others. His work is exhibited internationally and is part of the permanent collections of many museums, universities and corporations.

As a recent convert to the Nexus 4 (after waiting months for my Sprint ETF to drop), I'm in love with the wireless charging orb. That's not to say it doesn't have issues (besides its price), though. While I've had nary an problem with the orb, I have heard a few times that it has one serious issue – failing to keep the Nexus in place as it charges.
A few days ago, I came across a potential solution to this problem – the Nexus 4 Charging Orb Cradle by Etsy user Pixil3D.
The 3D-printed cradle isn't necessarily the most elegant solution imaginable, and adding a $24 fix to a product that already costs $60 isn't exactly palatable to this writer, but the cradle has one thing going for it – it's 3D-printed, and anyone that has a 3D printer can make their own.
