The Mane Cast-OffsPart 1: Twilight SparkleThe cup slowly rose into the musky air, surrounded by an aura of shimmering magical energies, fizzing bright purple like a carefully controlled firework. Twilight Sparkle kept her gaze fixed on the object, carefully lifting it higher and higher, the glow from her horn gently caressing the magical eddies that surrounded it."Carefully, carefully..." she whispered, quickly flicking through to the next page in her spell book and reading the incantations by the light of a nearby candle. "This time I've got it "The cup exploded in a shower of porcelain and sparks. Twilight ducked, giving a scream of shock and frustration as several shards flew towards her, embedding themselves in the wall. The door flew open and a very grumpy small dragon marched in."Twilight!" Spike hissed, clutching a blanket to himself defensively. "It's gone midnight, can't you give it a rest, I'm trying to sleep." He blinked his weary eyes. "I'm sure all this studying can't be g
My Little Lobster"A sonic
lobboom?" Twilob Sparkle stared at her friends in confusion, her antennae twitching. The magical watery land of Aquastria was home to many strange things, but she had never heard of a sonic lobboom.The pink tentacles of Octo-Pie twitched in alarm. "She's gonna do it Twilob!""Pfft" Trix-Sea, the blue and silver lobster that lounged next to Twilob snapped her claws in contempt. "If she's going that fast she'll end up boiling the ocean!"The three looked up in horror as they saw their pegasus lobster friend flying through the ocean. The water around Rainbow Lobster began to froth and broil, and as the thunderclap of a sonic lobboom filled the depths, they saw her plummet, red and sizzling hot.Octo-Pie was first to the body. "Oh Rainbow Lobster!" she cried. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you, and now you are a delicious meal!" She sadly licked the tasty lobster's shell. "So succulently sad!"Twilob sadly watched Octo-Pie drag Rainbow Lobster away, presumably to bury her. She
Luna's Excellent Adventure"Biomass to biomass! Hoof to hoof! Magics of the ancients, show me the path, I command you!"Luna raised her hooves high and cackled loudly as lightning flashed above her, a spectral wind blowing up as if from nowhere and snatching away the loose pages of parchment that she had carefully laid out in front of her. It didn't matter; she knew the spell off by heart. It was nearly complete."Soon!" she cried. "Soon it will be my time, I will eep!"She stopped, wide-eyed as the door to her room flew open and in stormed Princess Celestia, looking quite annoyed."My dear sister!" Celestia snapped, looking around the messy room disapprovingly as Luna tried and failed to cover up the chalk markings she had scrawled on the floor. "The entire palace can hear you cackling like a madmare. And what have I told you about using lightning indoors; it's a nightmare to get the stains off the ceiling.Luna pouted back at her sibling. "You're my sister, not my mother!" she snapped back finally. "It'
Night of the Pinkie PieApple Bloom scrunched up her face as she nosed her dinner around the plate. "Bored! Bored! This ain't no fun!" She looked up at the face of Big Mac, impassive as always. "Applejack said she would play a game with me, why ain't she come home?"Big Mac stared down at his little sister dully, chewing a straw. It was the same straw that he had been chewing for the past year, at least that is what he thought. In reality Applejack had to sneakily change it every week so that it didn't become nasty. "Applejack's gone on holiday lil' one. She said she'll be gone a long time."Apple Bloom glared quizzically up at her brother. "That don't make no sense, she would've told me!"Big Mac huffed. "She won it from Pinkie Pie. Said it was really last minute, had to go quick. Didn't even see her pack a bag.""How can Pinkie Pie afford to buy Applejack a holiday? She never said anything about no competition!" Apple Bloom's small form scooted down from the table. "Somethin' fishy is going on her Big Mac,
Rainbow Dash vs Summer"Worst. Day. Ever!" Rainbow Dash flopped listlessly over her sofa, her head a dizzying blur from the baking summer heat. She was no longer sure how hot it was because her thermometer had exploded. The air in her cloud house was dry and still. She started to try to blow on her perspiring face, to no avail. "I mean, what's the point?" she cried out, shaking a hoof out the window at the sky.She knew it was coming, of course. The heat wave had been scheduled months ago, and the weather patrol had spent ages moving all the clouds and preparing for the summer sun. But Rainbow Dash hadn't found time in between her busy schedule of sleeping and playing to buy a fan, and by the time she'd got around to it, Mr Fan had sold out of fans."This is ridiculous! I'm boiling to death and worse than that - bored!" Rainbow Dash croaked, leaning out the window and staring at the baked ground below. "Only a mad pony would be out in this!"A buzzing noise grew in intensity amidst the still summer air, and
Twilight's Last Gleaming"...And it was oatmeal!" Rainbow Dash giggled as she came to the end of her story. Rarity and Applejack broke out into guffaws of laughter as they rolled about the floor of the library. Twilight Sparkle was rather less amused as she sat in the corner, ears flattened and a look of extreme annoyance etched onto her face. She turned slowly to glare at her friends, before returning to her studies.The glare obviously hadn't done its job, because moments later, the face of Rainbow Dash bobbed over her shoulder. "Ain't that something Twilight? What do you think she'll do THIS year?"Twilight coughed loudly, made a show of unsubtly shuffling her papers for as long as possible, and turned to face the perky blue Pegasus. "What will who do when?" she hissed back, eyes narrowed to slants in an attempt at intimidation.This didn't work either; the only reaction from Rainbow Dash was a roll of the eyes. "You weren't listening to my amazing story at ALL, were you? I mean, I know it wasn't
Trixie's Favourite PonyTrixie offered a coy smile to the beautiful filly who sat across the table from her. She gave a flick of her hair and raised a glass. "Trixie never thought she would meet a pony as wonderful as you" she pouted. Her partner raised a glass at the same time.Trixie clinked the glass against the mirror, which was propped against the chair on the opposite side of the table. "Oh Trixie!" she swooned. "I should have done this sooner!" She blushed. Her reflection blushed. This was the greatest date she had ever been on.With a passionate swipe of her hoof, she knocked away the table, throwing herself at her reflection. Her reflection did the same. That was what she liked about herself, she thought: she was always good at doing what she wanted. "Oh Trixie, take me now!"She started to kiss her reflection. Her kiss was a bit harder and flatter and colder than she had expected, but it was still good. She wrapped her hooves about the mirror and leant in. "Oh Trixie!" she gasped. "I've always loved
The Art of FriendshipIt was dawn in the magical land of Artquestria, and the mysterious power of Princess Sunflowers caused the lights to flicker on, shining their fluorescent glow across the small gallery.Twilight Sparkly-Night woke with a yawn as night was replaced by day in an instant. It was another beautiful day, with a gentle breeze blowing from the air conditioners. She could scarcely believe it had only been three months since she had moved to this peaceful side-gallery from the hustle and bustle of The Camelot Room where she had grown up. Ever since she was a little pencil sketch she had felt out of place, awkward in that massive space in which hung paintings of all shapes and sizes. She had been alone and lost in the crowd.Throughout her life she had been told there was something magical about her, but she never believed it. She was just a simple impressionist painting, showing the scene of a starry night in a swirl of purples, pinks and whites. She had never thought she was anything special: s
Airshipping Is MagicThe morning air was crisp and cool with barely a breeze blowing. The sky was crystal blue, and the rays of the sun played lazily across the green countryside. It was the perfect day, thought Twilight Blimple, for a flight.The little purple sparkly blimp slowly rose into the air, enjoying the wind as it played across her surface. Her propellers spun into life as she turned in a westerly direction, the fluted spire that jutted out from her control deck pointing the way.Twilight wasn't a big blimp. Her gasbag was large but stubby, her fins small and protruding, and her purple gondola cabin was slung almost apologetically underneath. Growing up as a little balloon in the big city she had always been jealous of the other airships, who always seemed to be more graceful than she. But soon study had paid off.Today, she was on an important mission. Today she had to ferry vital medical aid across Airquestria. A hailstorm had hit the town of Hull, and puncture repair kits were urgently needed.

It's all about focus groups and Fencepost rankings with those guys- they're looking for hooks a
One Trick PonyA cold wind blew through Fillydelphia, carried by the wings of the Pegasus Ponies above. A larger town than quaint little Ponyville, it took considerably more Pegasus to bring the weather in and out. Often, they over did it, being as intrepid as Pegasus were known to be, and this was one of those days.The wind was whipping under her purple silk coat. It was torn in several places, the pretty sparkles that had once glowed on her very body were swept away long ago.It had been three months and two rotten weeks since that awful day. It was all Twilight's fault. That little hussy stole her spotlight, ruined her life. Her name was Trixie. She was the greatest magician the world had seen. People fell at her feet when she flashed her tricks.The stage was her garden. Her magic sowed the seeds. And when her flowers bloomed the world was left agape, they could only stare in infinite wonder at the Great and Powerful Trixie.All that is what was. Her life was over now.She tried to r
Sun, Surf and FriendshipSand, Surf and Friendshipby Cloud WatcherTwilight Sparkle and her close group of friends were brimming with excitement as the sky carriage landed. They had just arrived in the tiny seaside town of Gallop Cove, and were looking forward to a week of fun and relaxation at the seaside. It was a quaint, quiet town that avoided most of the big herds of tourists that usually flocked to the coast. The princess had told her student that she and her sister preferred the small hamlet for their private retreats, recommending it as a reward for her diligent studies. Touching down, the six ponies and Spike thanked the pegasus drivers before they left then made their way to the local inn."Can you believe how beautiful this place is?" Rarity asked. "And all those shops have the most fabulous seashell jewelry. I'll just have to get some of those abalone shells for my dresses.""Suit yourself," Rainbow Dash said, "but I'm gonna hit the skies.
The Last"The Last"By: The PolecatHis footing was unsteady as he walked, weaving about the roadway. Crossing the yellow line, first one way, then the other with his shuffling step. Cracked pavement only crumbling further as worn shoes crunched over them. A shuffle step to the side, weaving about a long abandoned vehicle, one of many that littered the road, every one of them abandoned. Just like the town, the state, the country
even the world; all abandoned.As far as he knew, he's the last. He'd never found another, only the wastelands that surrounded the city he was born and raised in. His friends, his family, his co-workers, all gone. It was as though no one ever existed in the first place.Where did everyone go? If the man bothered or cared to look he could find the evidence of what occurred here. But he didn't care. He was sick, fever burning his cheeks and infections spreading. He was no doctor, but he knew he was on his last legs. The medicines he found no longer worked, and he di
Through Simple EyesHello! How was your day?
You know, it's just plain rude to not answer when someone says hello.Let's try this again, my sister, Applejack, decided she needed to keep my hooves occupied while she went around Applebucking. Now, she's a right good filly, but really, I'm no writing man. She was jus being sweet, you know? Anyhoo, the girl decided that I should take up writing a journal of what I do while she's not around, so that I don't feel quite as useless.Whole lotta hooey if you ask me.Course you didn't ask. Anyway this here journal's 'sposed to be some kinda therapy thing. I'm no rocket physician, but I hardly see how this any a this is gonna do squat for my busted back.I don't even know how I'd even start writin' this thing, you know? So I asked Applejack when she gave it to me,"What do I do with this?"An' she said, "Ya right in it, Mac!"So I look at her an' said, "I don't know jack squat about writin' a diary, how would I start?""Jus write like you're talkin
Fluttershy And The GriffonGilda the griffon sat alone and deep in thought atop a lone cloud, her eyes glued upwards toward the vast, blue skies. She laid on her back, claws behind her head, wings folded at her sides, allowing the tiny cloud to carry her away as it slowly drifted along the wind currents. Far off in the distance was the town of Ponyville, where the griffon had departed from only a few hours before in a huff. There was hardly a sound to be heard. It was truly peaceful. Gilda sighed heavily.However, despite the quiet and serenity, there was nothing but a violent, hectic war of intense emotions raging in Gilda's heart. The memory of Rainbow Dash, the only friend who still kept in touch after graduation, telling her off in front of all those ponies replayed itself over and over. Just like that, they were no longer friends, or even acquaintances anymore. It was incredibly difficult for Gilda to wrap her mind around it; it just seemed unbelievable that their relationship had fallen out in such a way.

Her enthusiasm took control as she went faster and faster: this trick was going to be so awesome.The wind really began to dig into her, practically forcing her mouth open and causing her hair to streak wildly behind her. But she knew the real secret of the Sonic Rainboom, a little wind resistence wasn't going to stop Rainbow Dash. She kept both forehooves as straight as she could manage and with each extra inch she could feel the air caving.'Just a little more,' the pegasus thought.She smiled, or rather attempted to force her wind pressured mouth into an egotistical smile as the multi-coloured Rainboom burst into existence above her.

The sky was a bright, blazing blue, a sweet breeze drifted across the fields, and butterflies were frolicking amidst the beautiful wispy clouds.Unfortunately for Cloudgazer, he was trapped. The noise of the classroom blocked out the sweet sounds of nature, replacing them with the excited chatter of a dozen foals let loose with chemistry play sets.This was not to say that he hadn't been paying attention. The little purple pony (and he WAS purple rather than pink, he made this very clear to anyone he met) was a great believer in the educational system and had already figured out the entire experiment before Miss Copybook had finished explaining it to the class. It wasn't his fault that his equipment had obviously been sabotaged with lead weights somehow hidden in it.

Ferrari unveils greener California with turbocharged V-8
Ferrari is switching to a turbocharged V-8 engine in its California coupe-convertible to help cut fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
The Fiat-owned supercar maker will debut the California T, which replaces the current California, at the Geneva auto show on March 4. The company added the letter "T" to the model's name to emphasize the turbocharged engine that replaces the naturally aspirated V-8 unit in the current car.
Ferrari today released details and pictures of the California T. It said fuel consumption is reduced by 15 percent in the car in typical daily use compared with the current model despite an increase in performance. The company also said it has achieved "virtually zero turbo lag" in the California T.
The car is powered by a 552-hp, 3.9-liter direct-injection engine. It has a top speed of 316kph (196 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100kph in 3.6 seconds.
Ferrari says it cut fuel consumption to 10.5 liters per 100km (22 mpg U.S; 27 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions to 250 grams per kilometer. The current car, which has a 483-hp, 4.3-liter V-8, uses 13 liters of gasoline per 100km and has CO2 emissions of 299g/km.
The California T has a new steering box, a new suspension set up and the latest evolution of the company's F-1 Trac traction control system. It is also fitted with a new infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen.
Just like the current model, the front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive California T is a 2+2 seater with a retractable hardtop that closes in 14 seconds. The new model keeps the same overall dimensions as the current car but its body has been redesigned by Ferrari's styling center and Pininfarina.
The California T will go on sale in Europe in the summer. U.S deliveries begin in the second half.
Ferrari sees turbocharged engines as a way to cut fuel consumption without reducing performance. Its last turbocharged production car, the F40, was sold in the 1980s.
The company has not yet disclosed pricing for the California T. The current California is Ferrari's entry model with prices starting at 186,723 euros in Italy. The California T likely will continue to be the brand's lowest priced model.
IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said lower fuel costs and reduced CO2 emissions are not an issue for most Ferrari buyers, but high-end automakers still need to show an element of corporate responsibility and that they are not just producing vehicles focused on speed and power.
"For Ferrari and others of its ilk, I think the figures highlight their technical and engineering capabilities," he said.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney uncorked a withering broadside against what he called President Obama's "feckless'' foreign policy yesterday and detailed his own plans, which position the GOP presidential contender as a champion of a muscular military policy and an aggressive global reach.
"I will not surrender America's role in the world. This is very simple: If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I'm not your president. You have that president today,'' the former Massachusetts governor said in what his campaign called a major foreign policy address at The Citadel in South Carolina.

"You will defend yourself until you're dead." That was the PACOM commander's blunt and public response when I asked him about the chronic imbalance between… Keep reading →

The Student-Senior Partnership Program is a collaboration of two programs within the School of Medicine: the Program in Geriatrics and Medical Education, which oversees training of medical students
Participants: All first-year medical students (about 100) and volunteer senior partners, 65 and older, who serve as mentors
Program length: Spans nearly a year
Components: Overview presentation on aging and ageism, health literacy, patient-doctor relationship and motivational interviewing techniques; four one-hour group sessions in the fall with senior partners who serve as mentors; educational theater
Optional track: In addition to the above, students can be paired with a senior partner, which includes a visit to the senior partner's home and tagging along on a doctor visit as well as a creative project to express what the student learned from his or her partner. About one-quarter of students participate in this track.
Program coordinator: Elizabeth O'Toole
Website: www.meded.uci.edu/reynolds/SSPP.asp
Know this about Jack Camp. He's 74. He's an accomplished urban planner. He did the original master plan for the 1,200-acre Irvine Spectrum complex. He's still in the master-planning business. He loves his work.
While many people might consider Camp old, he doesn't, and he considers himself healthy.
Still, he's lived long enough to have had plenty of experiences with doctors, experiences that he has agreed to share with UC Irvine's first-year medical students, such as the time when he finally got in to see the urologist and the urologist swooped in and spent about three minutes with him, prescribed some medicine, swooped out and charged him $100.
"I thought, 'What a jerk,'" he said. "And they didn't even validate my parking."
As part of UCI's School of Medicine's Student-Senior Partnership Program, senior mentors such as Camp give first-year medical students lessons in doctoring do's and don'ts. Don't: forget your patient is a human being. Do: listen.
Camp likes sharing what he knows with the students and he likes spending time with them.
"I'm amazed at the students. They're all so young and healthy," he said. He recalls what he learned from the architects who volunteered as mentors when he was in college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. "It's my opportunity to be a mentor."
Elizabeth O'Toole, coordinator for the program that's part of UCI's Division of Geriatrics & Gerontology, arranges for students to interact with volunteers who are 65 and older. The program, which spans nearly a year, also provides an option of being paired with a senior, for students who want to learn more, as well as opportunities for the students to reflect on their experiences, including watching a theatrical presentation on the doctor-patient relationship and doing an optional creative project.
The students are young, 20 to 25. They're healthy, and they have little exposure to chronic medical issues, said Dr. Sonia Sehgal, associate clinical professor in the School of Medicine.
"Through the program, we've tried to empower the seniors to take on the teaching role," she said.
All first-year students take part in the program. Learning how to care for older patients will be useful for students regardless of what area of medicine they decide to specialize in. The federal Administration on Aging estimates that by 2030, there will be about 72 million people older than 65, more than twice the number in 2000.
The demand for geriatric doctors is expected to outstrip supply, said Dr. Lisa Gibbs, clinical professor and chief of Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology in UCI's School of Medicine. The program gives students a glimpse of what it might be like to practice geriatric medicine.
Most students won't become geriatric doctors, Gibbs said. Geriatrics is often a mission.
"It's not a monetary reward. It's really coming from a deep place of wanting to care for older adults," she said.
Students need to be competent in caring for older adults, Gibbs said.

I'd like to introduce you to my new favorite picture. It makes me giddy every time I see it! It's so Quinn and I love that I can just feel Quinn in it, even without seeing his face.
It's also my entry for this week's I Heart Faces photo challenge, the theme of which is "Autumn Splendor"
This photo was entered into the I Heart Faces photo challenge – www.iheartfaces.com
Ah, life
I was sorting through the rest of my spider pictures and came across these. It's hard to believe that a few short weeks ago I had flowers in my yard! I never cease to be amazed at how this cycle of life thing works – how the world can be so full and bursting with life then sleeping so hard only to burst forth once again.
Every time I post spider pictures on my blog I hear a lot of "ewwwww" from my readers. Once upon a time I agreed with you – I was one of the most arachnophobic people around! But when Simon was three my world changed completely when Simon introduced me to his imaginary friend, Boosaw the spider. Boosaw was Simon's buddy and every time we saw a spider Sy would say "look! That's Boosaw!" The pivotal Boosaw moment for me was when we had guests over and a spider ran across the floor. All the kids were screaming and one of the adults grabbed a shoe to do what many of us would do to a spider. Simon lost it and began sobbing and screaming "that's Boosaw!! Don't kill Boosas!" Thanks to Boosaw I've learned to love and treasure spiders. Having kids changes you like that.
But they're still kind of creepy. So Happy Halloween…and enjoy some spider pictures!

Yah, maybe you should save your questions for your next MENSA meeting.
And there`s the answer to your question.
Now, maybe you should ask the people of EP, what "Ironic" means.
lol...a select few??? OMG!! you really have no Idea what Mensa is?? Have no clue on how to type "m e n s a" into a search engine? Maybe you should have done THAT first,because the more you get your panties into a twist....the dumber you are making yourself look.And yet YOU had the arrogant condescending attitude that maybe you should "Dumb down your questions" FOR US? THAT`S Ironic right there Dude.
LMAO!! you said " people who read my questions lack the understanding to properly answer my serious questions. should i just dumb them down". So yah you DID call them dumb!! but Whatever dude, you`ve obviously brought a butter knife to a gun fight so have a nice day.
Yah..I said "have a nice day" to you like an hour ago..so....
Well everytime you reply to me, I get a notice saying "rattydog responded to your response",...which is making you look even more foolish,as it seems you are intent at "Tilting at Windmills".
Oh Geez sorry about not explaining to you the whole "Tilting at windmills" thing,..
Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means attacking imaginary enemies.The phrase is sometimes used to describe confrontations where adversaries are incorrectly perceived, or courses of action that are based on misinterpreted or misapplied heroic, romantic, or idealistic justifications. It may also connote an importune, unfounded and vain effort against confabulated adversaries for a vain goal. BYW...You`re welcome, and again...Have a nice day.
there were so many gerunds and strangely-used adjectives in the above, rattydog1
We're not worthy.
yes because everything we think makes things so. for example, the "fact" that you think you are wise....you must NEEDS BE then.
When you post a question, you need to be prepared for all sorts of answers. If you're not .. then don't post them.
You can't dictate how people are allowed to answer. Your attitude is probably why you get answers you don't like. Best idea .. keep an open mind ... you might be amazed how much you can learn that way.
Yeah, you're way smarter than the rest of us.
Stupid questions get stupid answers, this one proves it.
Oh, you're testing us. Cool.
If you ***** us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?
The wheel is come full circle.
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Yuppers. Full of oneself - that is you.
You don't like Shakespeare?
It must be difficult for you.
Being surrounded by people who lack the want of creation.
Sure, but it seems people aren't living up to your expectations in other ways.
wait...you said that your elders tell you you are wise, so you use them as your measuring rod. but then you go on to say that your wisdom surpasses THEIRS?!
Yup.. Were al Idiots
My village misses me while I respond to these post.
Dang.. Missed an L.. Told ya
I saw your movie. Are you planning on not super sizing yourself at some point?
Come on.. Really, Were = We're. This is not english this is ep.
I hear ya, but there are some very intelligent folks on line at times, I never really know if one will answer my question. I would try on a Friday night, seems like that's when the smart cookies are on .
It seems that you are too full of yourself to understand the this place, just like the rest of the world, is full of all types of people. Some can't even smile at a humorous reply to their question. By the way, you started your question sentence with a lower case letter. Maybe we should then accept mediocrity from those asking questions.
Pegged you. You are full of yourself. You made a point of deriding another replier to your question about grammar, then you expect a pass when you do it yourself. That saying "my shi*t doesn't stink" applies to you evidently. Grow up little boy, grow up.
"i won't point out the typo there..". Your words. How's that?
But you can't have it both ways O Wise One. You did it, but really only did for their sake so they would not repeat such an error again in your presence. You made the mistake, now own up to it. You want serious, I'll give you serious. You are seriously full of yourself and have no reason to be and you are nothing but a pompous as*s. Now kiss my as*s.
I'm not the one that started pointing out typos, so I don't really care if I have them or not. Typos bothered you until you made them yourself, then they are okay. Maybe you should go back and read the majority of the comments, then rethink your "arrogance" comment. Debate? you have no idea what honest debate is. You have formed the opinion that you know everything and that is the way it is. Get ready for a lifetime of disappointment and loneliness. People don't want to be around a serious know it all very often. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm pointing out facts about you. Either you are very naive about life or you have been enjoying weed too much.
No, you pointed out a typo of another person when they answered your question. I'm not debating you. Hell, I'm just having fun pointing out that you are one ignorant foolish child. You have no idea what that is, as you already know everything. By the way, the stuff you are trying to put together in such a philosophical manner, is another indication of your shi*t doesn't stink opinion of yourself. Your words mean nothing, absolutely nothing. You have a lot of growing up to do, and probably a lot of as*s kickings from others until you finally see that. I'm done with ya.
more arrogance, wowwww
ok so maybe now you should label me a STALKER too.
nerp, you said i was stalking you.
i'm a non-carer
Damn, I was stalking him. You spooked him.
shhh don't tell him you're stalking him. his head might get big or something.
way to prove what exactly....
being that you have probably never been WITH a woman, i would not expect you to know one when you see one. trust me, i am allll woman baby.
asexual in your case=virgin
that would be aemotional, dumbfuck.
precisely. virgin is.
Hard to get too philosophical here. Morality, that's a 10,000 page response.
Oh, "thought question".
Haha! Its a thought question, not a philosophical one! I'm starting to like this guy!
You're funny.
Were you born an a$$hole, or did you have to work on it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine!

Hirst blames short-term profit-seeking banks that must want to hire these idiots so that they don't question the long-term implications of anything and simply help generate 20% returns rather than build a longer term strategy.
Hirst says:
''You sit in front of these 26- and 27-year-olds earning half a million dollars and they're asking you questions: 'This is what's going to happen in the next three months - what are you going to do about it and what number do I plug into my spreadsheet."
''There's no attention to what's the strategy or how long it takes to play out [or] what does it mean in terms of value to the organisation."
''It's a frustration - I just sit there, take it, and hear what they've got to say and walk out shaking my head.''
Thank goodness this doesn't happen in the U.S.

I may need to book a flight from Gondar in Ethiopia to Amman Jordan & I am not sure of the best way to do this! I usually like to book directly through the airline but I am not able to do this for this route through one airline or at least I cannot find a way. The best routing I see is Gondar - Addis-Dubai-Amman. May split the trip with a night in Addis. I could of course use Expidia or the like but I have never used one of these sites before as I say I have usually gone straight through the airline. Any hints appreciated! Thanks in Advance. I will also post this on the airline forum.

If flying Ethipian Air makes sense they stop at Addis/ADD.
But why not check Expedia, Orbitz, even Kayak to see what's being offered for that route - air carrier, flight times, stops, prices - then if you'd prefer not to book thru one of these search engines, contact the airline directly. No guarantee you can get the same (if lower) prices seen on these, but you can beg! Always speak softly, but assertive... It works sometimes.

Sandi my thing with the engins is that I think somewherealong the line I have been lead to belive that if something goes astray whilst travelling (cxl flts etc) it can be more difficult to deal with than if you booked through the airline itself???? You are in the biz what are your thoughts on this?

So you are new to southeast Texas and maybe you have heard people say you don't have to worry until August when the "real" hurricane season begins.
I need to dispel this myth.
Many of the folks living in southeast Texas today were not here in 2001, when an otherwise unremarkable tropical storm named Allison came ashore in southeast Texas on June 5. That's right, June. Now, you are probably thinking, how unusual that must have been. Well, 12 years earlier in June - yes, June, 1989 - another tropical storm also named Allison came ashore in southeast Texas.
Both Allisons formed in the Gulf of Mexico and both were prodigious rainmakers across the Gulf Coast states. Each Allison produced widespread 10-15 inch rain totals with isolated amounts of 30 inches or more. The resulting flooding made Allison 2001 the costliest U.S. storm not to reach hurricane intensity and caused over 35 deaths. Allison 1989 also caused record flooding and nearly $1 billion in damage, the worst flooding was from east of Houston into Louisiana.
Some folks may think we cannot have a major (category 3, 4 or 5) hurricane in June. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Hurricane Audrey, 1957 formed in the Bay of Campeche on June 25, moved steadily north and rapidly intensified, coming ashore on June 27 near Sabine Pass. Audrey was a large Category 4 and produced a deadly storm surge contributing to over 400 deaths in southwest Louisiana.
OK, folks, hurricane season 2014 is here. The season forecast is for somewhere around eight to 11 named storms three to five hurricanes. Remember, it only takes one in our neck of the woods to make it a big hurricane season.
Time for us to be prepared!

The White House is now at war with the Edmunds.com car site, disputing its critique of Cash for Clunkers. Business Insider writes:
Seriously, what's the point of this? Clunkers is over. It just makes The White House look thin-skinned, though it's great publicity for Edmunds.
I've got news for Business Insider: it doesn't just make the White House look thin-skinned. The White House is thin-skinned.
This White House is arrogant. But arrogance is not the same as quiet confidence. Those who are arrogant and narcissistic may appear confident, but an over-sensitivity to criticism is often evidence of deep insecurity.
And unfortunately, this administration has a lot to be insecure about.

(AP) -- Malaysia's government says police are examining an elaborate flight simulator that one of the pilots of the missing Malaysian airliner had set up in his home.
Malaysia's Transport Ministry says in a news release Sunday that police have searched the homes of both the pilot and co-pilot the previous day.
The ministry says police also are investigating all crew and passengers, as well as any engineers who may have had contact with the aircraft before takeoff.
Meanwhile, authorities say the number of countries involved in the search for the missing jetliner has increased to 25.
The acting transport minister says 11 more countries joined the search after it was determined that the missing plane may have gone as far north as Central Asia, flying over several countries.
He also said authorities were hoping for more helpful satellite data.
The plane with 239 people aboard disappeared March 8 on a to Beijing.

Via: Apple (PDF) | News Archive | Tags: Apple, human rights, child labor, working conditions
Most of the company discriminates, and exceeds working hours....Even where i work,they forget we are humans and all this is about their bussiness and making more money while using people as slaves working in unsafe conditions.
The use of child labor is unacceptable. However, I don't know the details as to where this was taking place, ie. which country, city. Let's look at the big picture through the eyes of the people in these countries rather than through the eyes of an American or Canadian. What are the reason as to why these kids are working? Are they working because their parents aren't making enough to put food on the table? Are they working in these factories because other options (peddling, stealing, prostitution, etc) just aren't even options worth consider? Is Apple doing enough to stop this? For that matter, may Apple should start paying their suppliers more so these suppliers would stop using contract workers? Anyway, the use of child labor is just one consequence of this global economy.
What I need to see is action taken when it comes to improving labor conditions. There are too many articles about this kind of abuse and I have left too many of my opinions on these pages as it is, they can still keep doing underage labor and poor working conditions all they want; it's not going to stop if they don't force their device manufacturers to change.
when they get inspection the company already know the day those people are coming to check.So they have plenty of times to do what they have to do. Like in my company, OSHA agents came without a letting anyone in the company know they were coming just the day of the inspection.They found a lot of unsafe conditions + no Clean water!!!! the company is in trouble.
