These days, we know Svetlana Zakharova as an international ballet superstar. As a young student at St. Petersburg's prestigious Vaganova Academy, however, she was...well, still a superstar, just on a slightly smaller scale. Here are some excerpts from her graduation exam in 1996. You'll probably pick her out right away, but just in case: She's on the left in the first clip. Happy #ThrowbackThursday!
In a controversial move, former Bolshoi Ballet star Nikolai Tsiskaridze has been appointed rector of the renowned Vaganova Academy, associate school of the Mariinsky Ballet.

Fire officials said no structures were damaged, no one was injured and there were no evacuations.
Fire management officials said they are continuing to monitor the area.

Carl Icahn,
American Railcar Industries,
rail cars,
Frank Haflich
LOS ANGELES Carl Icahn has thrown in the towel on his bid to create the largest North American rail car builder, unloading most of his stock in Greenbrier Cos.
A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing revealed that the billionaire investorwho was looking to combine his majority-controlled American Railcar Industries Inc. (ARII) with Lake Oswego, Ore.-based Greenbrierhas sold 1.79 million shares of Greenbrier common stock, dropping his ownership interest to 3.41 percent from an earlier 9.9 percent.
Spokesmen for Greenbrier and St. Charles, Mo.-based ARII couldnt be reached for comment.
Greenbrier had turned down ARIIs sweetened bid of $22 per share, up from an initial offer of $20 per share. Daniel A. Ninivaggi, president and chief executive officer of Icahn Enterprises LP, had said in a letter to Greenbrier president and chief executive officer William A. Furman that ARII would drop its takeover attempt if it didnt get a positive response to the second offer (amm.com, Dec. 21).
Icahn sold the stock at an average price of $16.30 per share, according to the SEC filing, lower than any day since Nov. 12, the day prior to the disclosure of Icahns 9.9-percent investment in Greenbrier, when the stock closed at $13.95 per share, according to an amended SEC filing. A previous filing gave the price at $15.41 per share, a mistake that the amended Icahn filing attributed to a typographical error.
In a post-mortem note to investors, Peter Nesvold, equity analyst for Jeffries & Co. Inc., New York, said that while Icahns final $597-million offer for Greenbrier reflected "fair value" for the company, it fell short on other counts. Among these were Icahn leaving himself an "out," since his offer wasnt actually firm but would have allowed him to walk away from the deal after performing due diligence. Greenbriers board of directors was unlikely to approve a deal tinged with such "uncertainty," Nesvold said.
A successful acquisition by ARII would have moved the combined company ahead of Dallas-based Trinity Industries Inc. as the largest North American manufacturer of rail cars, according to earlier estimates.

And it's driving Republicans NUTS! (as posted elsewhere in comments!) Back to Number ONE in the world again.
Ford is actually doing even better, and they didn't need a taxpayer funded bailout.
Remember that Ford was also a proponent of the GM/Chrysler bailout. What did they get from it? They got parts suppliers who were still operating to sell Ford parts – the same suppliers sell to all three, and many would not have survived had G and C gone under. So Ford's financial health and very survival had a vested interest in the other two companies being bailed out…much like the financial health of the US.
They would not have gone under. They could have filed for bankruptcy (which they did anyway), reorganized and continued operations. The difference is that it would have happened according to law instead of violating the bankruptcy laws. It also would not have cost the taxpayers anything. But we had to put the labor unions first and foremost because the were the great supporters of lawless Obama.
Perhaps then, they could repay the billions owed and the billions lost in the stock prices.
The Volt is still a failure despite the inflated numbers. Obama only saved the Unions. GM did go bankrupt but were not allowed to go bankrupt again. The secured creditors were screwed over.
no Trout you are wrong …. about republicans. They are happy to see any US manufacturing company do well.
It's just a shame that it took a flooded out Japan, 49 billion tax dollars (13 billion of which came from Bush) and a 79% increase in fleet sales to the government.
Look it up.
That is not to say that Ford – currently number 2 – doesn't do fleet sales to the government however, it needed NO FUNDS from the government to continue in business.
So no, we are all happy that GM is still in business and doing well.
But But Obama said magic green jobs would save detroit.
I had a similar car when the children were still young.
Oh man, going to work was fun, coming home was fun.
High speed runs to the Yukon river on the haul road were heaven in a can.
Attitude adjustment double plus good.
Where did you live, in Dawson?
Good comment, CasualBrowser.
If memory serves, GM and Chrysler looked desperately for loans prior to the very reluctant gov't bailing them out, and the bail out occurred as much to rescue the parts suppliers as it was to protect the car companies and their pensioners. Had the bankruptcy occurred, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands would have lost their retirement benefits and that many more Americans would have immediately been on gov't handouts.
Thank you for reminding us that Ford had an interest in the survival of their competition.
Tesla? You mean the sellers of the heavy metal coal cars that only the evil rich can afford to play with?
Also, remember that Ford almost moved itself into bankruptcy by concentrating only on big pickup trucks and Suburban Assault Vehicles. When they realized that passenger cars were still desired by the American public, they took out the loans necessary to re-tool. At that time, the economy had not yet tanked to the point that the banks used their bailout money to ensure that no one could get a loan, which happened to GM and Chrysler, as well as to millions of small-business owners who ponied up tax dollars to save the banks, only to get the back of the banks' hand when asking for loans.
@Respectful Troll Had the bankruptcy occurred, tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands would have lost their retirement benefits and that many more Americans would have immediately been on gov't handouts."

The league's northern divisions pose a number of meaty questions, such as: "Is the Bears' offense due for a repeat performance?" "Why do the Lions have such pronounced splits?" and "Has Johnny Manziel made the Cleveland brass even crazier?"

Pittsford murder suspect attempts suicide in jailStaff Report | July 19,2013A Pittsford man awaiting trial in jail on a charge of murdering his girlfriend tried to hang himself in his jail cell, according to a Vermont Department of Corrections official.
Christopher Sharrow, 35, was taken to a Boston hospital after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, according to Al Cormier, superintendent of the St. Johnsbury jail where Sharrow has been incarcerated since his arraignment on July 8.
Cormier said he didn't know which hospital Sharrow was taken to, but he believed he was in stable condition.
Sharrow pleaded innocent to a second-degree murder charge brought by prosecutors who say he beat and strangled Kristen Parker, 32, who he lived with along with her three children. Sharrow is the father of two of Parker's children.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

Very centrally located. Good breakfast. Nice outdoor restaurant.
I like most the professional and kind cooperation of two staff, namely Elf Noor and Oyku. They were wounderful and kind to me and to my family members. If I will go again to the hotel, the reason number one will be to see those staff. Wish them and the hotel all best and success.
Some staff were not that good.
Excellent Location
Service need to be improved
Service with exception of Fatima at Guest Services
Location. Breakfast. Wifi
Bathroom is miror door without lock.
Staff very friendly, very helpful with recommendations for clubs, restaurants, etc. Very good spoken English. Found the design strange at first but fitting to the history and location. Glass toilet walls were an interesting surprise! Location perfect for quick access to all historic nearby monuments; it is less than 5 minutes' walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and metro station (metro goes directly to Taksim Square).
Breakfast could have been more varied.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel, the staff were very kind and helpful, especially Fatima and Elif, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was very clean.The location is the best as you are a very close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The only down side was the housekeeping, they never leave soap and other toiletries on a regular basis, either they leave water or either the toiletries but never leave them both, so we had to ring the reception.
Perfect location, very close to everything in Old Town.
Very loudly at nights with Blue Mosque view. Till 3 a.m. music and meeting orators with microphone... Dirty carpet in room. Bathroom with wall from glass, but jalousie is broken...
Excellent location to visit the old town, you can easely walk to both bazar Very clean and confortable rooms
the staff are extremely friendly, helpful. Fatma, Asmar and all the staff at the restaurant esp the girls at the breakfast buffet. Pleasant faces with smiles, always ready to run and help esp with kids. My Son is a very choosy eater and everyone was so understanding and did alot for him! Best part of the stay was that they have Breakfast - Snacks and Tea time.. all on the house! Plus great welcome chocolates in the lobby :) i can go on about my time but you have to stay there to experience it. I went to Istanbul for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with all the hospitality!
nothing.. I would very ungrateful if i had something to say here :p
I really like the inner structures of the hotel and the services rendered me. Though I was there on a business trip the location of the hotel helped me to enjoy tourist sites.
Lack of enough space outside and a parking space.
The layout was cramped and decor a bit kitch. I quess it is a matter of taste for each patron
Location Interior Design Helpsul Staff
Twin Beds
Close to the old city attractions
Poor service rarely was the room cleaned. Lost laundry. Extra charges. Dark room. Faulty lighting.
Room cleaning was either too early or not show up. Someone walked on me in bed without knocking on the door. Ask for someone to fix the tv 3 times and every time they say they will send someone and never did. I ended up watching the game on my computer. Bottom line I will never go back there.
Great location. Well-designed room and hotel interior. Good breakfast.
If you stay in the rooms on garden side you may have mosquitos in your room. Unfortunately hotel staff cannot offer any help with this issue. So keep doors closed or you will have a sleepless night.
1. The location was perfect - in the heart of old city, just few minutes walk from Blue Mosque, Agia Sofia, Grand Bazaar.... 2. There are also a lot of small cafes and restaurants nearby, so it is not a problem to find something to eat. 3. Most of the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful....special thanks to Guest relation managers - they were very helpful (booking restaurants, tours, etc). It was my brother-in-laws birthday and the hotel (guest relation manager) presented a small cake and a plate of fruits - it was very nice and touching! 4.Breakfast was nice - variety of food, sweets, fruits..... And also a free tea/coffee with some cookies in the afternoon at the lobby - that was nice. 5. There are computers in the lobby (if you dont have a laptop) with a printer - its easy to print the boarding passes. 6. Nice sitting area in the lobby.
1. I have booked double rooms (with a king size bed) - we were given twin rooms at the check-in......we have asked to change to double rooms. We have got double rooms instead (with 1 bed , instead of 2) , but the rooms were much smaller, than the twins.........it looks like in almost all rooms there are 2 beds,double beds are more of an exception (that was my impression). 2. Half of the hangers in the room were broken. The safe was in very inconvenient place - in the low shelve. 3. The location is brilliant if you are planning a sighteseeing tour.....but if it is more about night life (bars, restaurants) or clothes/shoes shopping - then it is not the best area to stay....No night entertainments in old city, you will need to take a taxi or tram to the other part of the city.
Cleanliness, location, design and breakfast
Suites beautifully presented and comfortable with great shower. hotel lovely clean, modern and refined.
Water in room not always replaced in the morning. Reception quoted 90euros fir transfer then when we declined came back with 70 euros, didn't expect to negotiate with hotel. Breakfast ok but basic with minimal changes.
Beautiful garden, nice staff, great breakfast buffet.
Very nice and cosy hotel. extremely close to the monuments and tram! perfect for the visit as most of our time was spent out of the hotel. very nice breakfast and friendly staff. Highly recommended for those visiting Istanbul for leisure.
The location was fantastic.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location of hotel was very ideal. The food was good.
The room was conjusted
design, afternoon tea, breakfast buffet, helpful concierge
not enough time, a bit pricey for a short stay

Golazo! 'The next Zlatan' Zackarias Faour's sand wedge chip for Man City U16s [GIF]
- Updated: January 16, 2014
There's a lot of excitement around Man City's young Swedish striker Zackarias Faour, and it's easy to see why.
The kid dubbed 'the Next Ibrahimovic' for his confidence and physique is banging in the goals for City's U16s, and was on target again this week against ASPQ.
Faour lobbed a wonderful sand wedge chip up and over the keeper from the edge of the box, with a nonchalance belying his tender years.
The path into City's goal-laden front line may seem a long one for Faour right now, but if he keeps this trend up it surely won't be long before he's knocking on the door.

On Fire Lyrics - Switchfoot
Review The Song (3)
They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
sponsored linksGive me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)
Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...
I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And i've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge
And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery

Awesome Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/14/07
this song is such a mad song.. i especially like the line of "What everything inside me looks like Everything I hate, You are the hope I have for change, You are the only chance I'll take"
This part of the song truely spoke to me when i heard it as i was going through a time when i had strong addictions and i truely hated everything inside of me. afterwards i found Jesus was the only way to overcome my problem and ever since He has been guiding my life and blessing me immensely.
Great Song.. Love it

text: so i looked at the VIZ manga regarding the kinkaku situation. and they mention several times kinkaku and ginkaku DEFEATED tobirama but nowhere did it say they KILLED him. kin and gin even thought it was tobirama freaking summoning them back to this world. perhaps he died of his wounds in that last battle with kinkaku force, but hell, why didnt shikamaru and tsunade just fukin say that? itd be a hell of a lot clearer to us. there was an attempted coup, tobirama was beaten just as the brothers said they did to him, but not killed and probably was rescued by 2nd raikage or his guards. either way it was made unmistakeably clear it was a complete defeat and tobirama was left helpless.

Your indoor tabby may look tame during the day, but his eyes may cast an eerie golden or ghoulish green glow at night.
What's happening?
For answers, we contacted two of the nation's leading veterinary ophthalmologists:
Dr. Cynthia Powell, at Colorado State University, and
Dr. Bill Miller, of the Animal Ophthalmology Clinic in Memphis, Tenn.
The feline eye is proportionately larger than the human eye and features a layer of highly reflective cells known as the tapetum lucidum. The larger eye size and the tapetum combine to enable a
cat to see movement and objects better in dim light.
The tapetum lucidum, located between the optic nerve and the retina, operates like a mirror, reflecting the light and allowing the rods and cones another opportunity to pick up the limited amount of light available at night, Dr. Powell explains. This anatomical feature, which proves to be an asset for animals who do their best hunting at dawn and dusk, has been passed down to the domesticated cat from his ancestors.
"The eyes of these animals are geared for low-light vision," Dr. Miller says. "They include
dogs, cats, cattle, deer, horses and ferrets. However, humans and primates do not have the tapetum lucidum, and neither do squirrels — because they're more active during the day, their retinas are designed for brighter light vision."
The eyes of most
cats tend to glow bright green, but
Siamese often give off a bright yellow cast from their eyes. The specific glow color varies based on the animal and amount of zinc or riboflavin present in pigment cells within the tapetum lucidum.
"Zinc is a metal, and riboflavin is an amino acid, and both act as reflective agents," Dr. Powell says. "Depending on how densely packed these cells are with zinc or riboflavin, the glow color can vary from animal to animal and breed to breed. In
dogs and ferrets, the cells have zinc, but the cat cells have riboflavin."
The animal's age, as well as the color of his coat and eyes, can also influence this special luminescence, also known as eyeshine. "Age can change reflectivity as the lenses become denser," Dr. Powell says. "It decreases the animal's ability to reflect light back out of the eye."
Cats with white coats and blue eyes can give off a red-eye effect in dark settings. The red-eye look is due to blood vessels in the eyes reflecting light.
As for tips for reducing that ghoulish glow when using a camera flash, Dr. Powell has two suggestions: Try to take a photo looking more into the bottom of your cat's eyes and not have his eyes looking up, or take two quick shots using the flash, which causes the pupils to restrict. Flash first to make the pupils small, and then quickly take another photo.

Britney Spears: 'Yoga helps me battle anxiety'
Britney Spears has credited regular yoga sessions with helping her deal with anxiety issues.
The singer has adopted a new workout regime to get fit before taking up a rumored residency in Las Vegas, and the singer has revealed she finds her yoga classes extremely therapeutic.
She tells radio host Ryan Seacrest, "I love my yoga! I'm doing a lot of yoga right now. It's like my go-to between all (my) anxiety and everything."
However, Spears admits she wasn't always fond of the stress-busting exercise routines: "The first time I did yoga I didn't like it at all. I think the key is finding a good teacher, someone you kind of connect with and if you do find that person then it doesn't feel like you're bored or impatient because I've been in tons of classes where I'm so over it and I can't deal (sic) and want it to end, but I think if you find the right instructor, it does wonders for your body."
Britney Spears: 'I'm getting in shape for Las Vegas'
Britney Spears has broken her silence about plans to take over Las Vegas during a magazine interview about her health and fitness regime.
Fans of the singer have been waiting for her to confirm reports she'll be staging a Sin City residency for weeks after her manager revealed he was talking to two casino resorts about the possibility of staging a long-running Britney show.
The long-rumored residency will begin this autumn, according to insiders, and now Spears herself has let it slip that she's getting in shape for the run of concerts.
In a new interview for Shape magazine, she reveals that she is preparing for the high-energy gigs by focusing on yoga and cardio sessions.
She tells the publication, "The performances won't be simple – they'll be a massive party from start to finish. And, to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."
Reports suggest the shows will be staged at the Planet Hollywood casino.
Britney Spears evacuates home as wildfires continue to rage
Britney Spears is holed up in a top Los Angeles hotel after she was forced to evacuate her southern California home due to raging wildfires.
The pop superstar's mansion in Calabasas was at risk from the brush-fueled flames which have been spreading throughout the area and authorities put residents in her neighborhood on standby to leave their properties last week as they tried to contain the blaze.
She was still spotted in Calabasas on Friday, but it appears she's since decided to pack up and move with her two young sons.
A source tells the New York Post's Page Six column, "Britney and her children had to leave her house last week because of the fire scare. They are all safe and staying at the Four Seasons."
The "Toxic" hit maker isn't the only celebrity whose home was endangered by the blaze – Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia De Rossi's farm in nearby Ventura County came close to being burned to the ground over the weekend, but firefighters managed to save the property from any damage. The couple expressed its gratitude by giving 16 firefighters a place to stay for the night.
Britney Spears getting in shape with yoga and Nutrisystem
Pop superstar Britney Spears has taken up yoga and adopted the weightloss program Nutrisystem to help get her back into shape for a planned Las Vegas residency.
The singer and mom-of-two has stripped down to a bikini for the new June issue of Shape magazine, in which she shows off her favorite yoga poses and reveals she's trying to tone up to combat the signs of aging.
The 31 year old admits she struggles to accept that her figure is no longer what it once was so she has started to practice yoga.
Okay, guys, the wait is over! We're so excited to show you our gorgeous June cover featuring @britneyspears!! twitter.com/Shape_Magazine…
— SHAPE magazine (@Shape_Magazine) May 7, 2013
Discussing the changing shape of her backside, she tells the publication, "I like it, then again, I hate it. I'm in my 30s now, so I have to work harder to keep it 'up.'"
Spears is also overhauling her eating habits with the help of low-calorie meals from Nutrisystem, but she is finding it hard to stick to the healthy food plans.
She says, "Dieting is tough… because my specialities are spaghetti, brownies and chocolate chip cookies."

Britney Spears dating law firm staffer
Pop star Britney Spears reportedly has a new boyfriend.
The singer ended her engagement to her former manager Jason Trawick in January, and it appears she now has a new man in her life.
Reports suggest she's dating lawyer David Lucado.
The couple enjoyed separate outings to a golf course and spa, and the singer is simply smitten with her new man, according to sources.
One tells People magazine, "Since meeting David, Britney has been in the best mood… They've spent almost every day together."
And the singer has even introduced the Virginia native to her conservator dad Jamie and sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Preston, 7, and Jayden, 6.
An insider adds, "It was a big step. She's very excited… The boys think of David as a fun play pal."

Britney Spears' younger sister Jamie Lynn is engaged.
The former "Zoey 101″ star took to her Twitter page on Saturday to announce she is set to wed long-term boyfriend Jamie Watson by sharing a snap of the pair hugging while showing off her engagement ring.
She later posted a close-up snap of the ring alongside the caption "He did good."
Spears, 21, was previously engaged to Casey Aldridge, the father of her four-year-old daughter Maddie, but the pair split in 2010.
Eve: 'I was not attacking Britney Spears' vocal talent'
Rapper Eve has clarified comments she made appearing to question whether Britney Spears actually sang on her will.i.am collaboration "Scream & Shout," insisting critics have got it all wrong.
The "Let Me Blow Your Mind" hit maker has come under fire from Spears' fans amid claims she suggested the pop superstar's voice doesn't actually feature on the hit single.
During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" this week, Eve was asked what she thought of Spears' British accent on the track, to which she replied, "I heard that might not be Britney. … That's what I heard. I don't know."
Her response has since been interpreted as an attack on the "Toxic" star's talents, even prompting Spears' representative Jeff Raymond to hit back, telling TMZ.com, "It's absolute BS. Britney sang the song. will.i.am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."
However, Eve has now taken to Twitter.com to insist she was not calling out Spears for her singing – the rapper was only wondering if the line voiced by a female in a U.K. accent was her.
In a post on Thursday, she writes, "Come on ya'll (sic) My comment was not about Britney Spears NOT singing the song- clearly it's her. It was about the British accent-pay attention."
Britney Spears' manager confirms Las Vegas shows
Britney Spears' Las Vegas residency is on, according to her manager Larry Rudolph.
News of the pop star's Sin City run of shows has been swirling around online ever since she announced her decision to step down as a judge on "The X Factor," and now Rudolph has confirmed to "Extra" that the residency will take place at one of two casinos, one of which is Caesar's Palace.
He says the deal will be finalized once Spears' team decides which one to go with.
A formal announcement is expected in the coming weeks.

Hepatitis Health Center
New Drug Combo Helps Hard-to-Treat Hepatitis C
All of the patients were given sofosbuvir, an oral drug, plus either low-dose ribavirin or a dose adjusted to their weight. After 24 weeks of treatment, 68 percent of those given the weight-based ribavirin had a "sustained virologic response," which equates to a cure, Schiff said.
Of the patients in the low-dose group, 48 percent were cured.
Headache, anemia, fatigue and nausea were the most common side effects, affecting anywhere from 16 percent to 33 percent of the patients. But none dropped out of treatment due to side effects, the researchers said.
Fauci agreed that drug regimens that bypass both interferon and ribavirin are the wave of the future. "The ultimate goal is to have a drug combination that would be nontoxic and have a high cure rate," he said.
The drugs under development also are expected to cut the treatment time from up to 48 weeks to 12 weeks or less, Schiff said.
More than 3 million Americans are living with chronic hepatitis C, but most don't know it, Fauci said. "That's why there's a big push for screening," he said.
U.S health officials recommend that all baby boomers (people born from 1945 to 1965) get tested for chronic hepatitis C infection. The virus is mainly transmitted through infected blood, and injection-drug use is the top risk factor. But people who had a blood transfusion before 1992 also are at risk, because that predated widespread screening for hepatitis C.
In a small number of cases, the virus is passed during sex.
Schiff agreed that people would need to be screened for the new drug regimens to effectively prevent cases of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Only a small number of people with chronic hepatitis C develop those complications, but there is no way to predict any one person's course.
Treating all those people with the new drugs coming to market will be expensive, Schiff said. "But it's highly likely they'll be cured," he added. "And you'll be curing a disease that causes cirrhosis and cancer."

Do you like pain, loser? Well of course you do, you are a cock and ball torture pain slut after all. You know that a woman like me would never willingly give you any kind of pleasure… so, pain it is! I am a big lover of CBT phone sex and I'm sure you are too. That's why you're here, right?
If you're new to CBT phone sex, that's okay. I don't mind teaching you all about it! I just need you to be willing to do every single thing I tell you to do. No resisting me at all. That's the only way this is going to work out.
Okay so you've admitted to yourself that you like pain… but if you're new to this, you might need to know what kind of "supplies" to bring to our call. Some basics are: rubber bands, clothes pins, icy hot, aluminum foil, wooden spoon, a belt.. you get the idea. If you're feeling super adventurous, my favorite CBT phone sex item of all time is a mouse trap. Yup, a mouse trap. They aren't for the faint of heart, so if you decide you're going to go down that road for me that you're prepared for intense pain.
I really hope that you don't think that just because you are new I might take some sort of pity on you or have mercy. I will not. We're going to go balls deep (haha) into this and make you wish you'd never called me. Of course, you will call back… you're going to get addicted to me. I promise you that. What kind of loser gets addicted to paying a Princess like me for pain? That would be YOU!
When you are ready for cruel CBT phone sex cock and ball torture, pick up the phone and call Abby

FILE - In this July 3, 2013 file photo, Ariel Castro is led into Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Cleveland for a pretrial hearing. A 977-count indictment against Castro was filed Friday, July 12, 2013 including aggravated murder, kidnapping and rape charges, but does not yet carry death penalty specifications. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan, File)
CLEVELAND (AP) — A man charged with kidnapping and raping three women over a decade in his Cleveland home faced arraignment Wednesday on an expanded, 977-count indictment.
The newest charges returned Friday by a grand jury against Ariel Castro expanded on a 329-count indictment filed earlier that covered only part of the time frame of the alleged crimes.
Castro, 53, has been jailed since his arrest on May 6 shortly after the women escaped to freedom. In past court appearances, he has kept his head down, typically responding to a judge's questions with one-word answers.
Castro has been charged with two counts of aggravated murder related to one act, saying he purposely caused the unlawful termination of the pregnancy of one of the women.
The new, 576-page indictment also charges him with 512 counts of kidnapping, 446 counts of rape, seven counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of felonious assault, three counts of child endangerment and one count of possessing criminal tools.
The women appeared in a YouTube video last week to thank people who donated to a fund created to benefit them. They otherwise have sought to stay out of sight and have appealed for privacy.
Castro is scheduled for trial on Aug. 5, a date that could be delayed if the defense requests more preparation time.
He pleaded not guilty to the earlier indictment of 329 counts. His legal team has hinted Castro would plead guilty if the death penalty was off the table.
Castro is accused of repeatedly restraining the women, sometimes chaining them to a pole in a basement, to a bedroom heater or inside a van. The charges say one of the women tried to escape and he assaulted her with a vacuum cord around her neck.
Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each said they had accepted a ride from Castro, who remained friends with Dejesus' family and even attended vigils over the years marking her disappearance.
Berry has a 6-year-old daughter fathered by Castro, authorities said.
Castro has been held on $8 million bail. Cuyahoga County jail logs show him spending most of his time sleeping, lying on his bunk, watching TV and occasionally drawing or exercising.

Something about this song puts me in such a damn good mood
I'm grossed out by the kind of stuff tumblr does to its users over an extended period of time
Grammar and punctuation is completely lost on some people, to the point where their posts are unreadable and irritating
And tumblr fosters and feeds this incredible narcissism and need to impress people- people who don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Lmao, yes.

This shit ain't funny at all. I don't know why these white dudes think it's okay to walk up to people, blatantly insult them, then think nothing should happen. Then people look at the Black folks in the vids like THEY'RE wrong.
I don't see how this is a prank…if getting punched is a prank then Manny pacquiao is the funniest man on the planet
surely a prank is supposed to make everyone laugh when it's over. even the victim? regardless of what these twats are labelling it as, these poor lads still go home having experienced yet another racist verbal attack on them when they were just innocently living their lives.
fuckin dickwads.
do we REALLY expect anything less idiotic from something called BROPRANKSTV though
You can flag their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/BroPranksTV/about (you have to be logged in to YouTube.)
The little flag in the bottom left. Flag them for "hate speech against a protected group" and unfortunately not also "Just being a complete asshole."
Also, please don't watch any of their videos…that will just get them more views and revenue.
I continue to frown at mankind. It's 2014, and the ignorance is only increasing.

Novartis Braces for Yet Another Japanese Malpractice Investigation
According to The Japan Times, Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS) failed to inform the Japanese government of several serious side effects associated with its leukemia drug, Tasigna. Novartis knew of more than 10 cases in which patients experienced serious side effects while being treated with Tasigna, but did not report these instances to Japanese officials. As a result, the Health, Labor, and Welfare Ministry has opened an investigation into whether or not Novartis broke the country's pharmaceutical affairs law.
Two instances of serious side effects occurred during a highly scrutinized clinical trial conducted at the University of Tokyo Hospital, according to FiercePharma. During the trial, Novartis compared the effectiveness of various leukemia treatment, including the experimental drug, Tasigna, a follow-up to the company's previous blockbuster leukemia treatment Gleevec, which is due to expire this year.
Previously, Japanese officials found that Novartis employees were more involved in the trial than is legally allowed. At least nine Novartis sales representatives were responsible for collecting patient questionnaires and then faxing them to the hospital, according to FiercePharma. Doctors are supposed to personally return the questionnaires; patient information shouldn't have been handled by Novartis representatives at all. The trial, which took place between April 2013 and January 2014, involved collecting data from more than 3,000 patients being treated with Tasigna, according to The Japan Times.

Motives behind willingness to pay for improving biodiversity in a water ecosystem: Economics, ethics and social psychology
AbstractThis paper reports on empirical work extending the standard economic approach to valuation by including psychological and philosophical factors. More specifically a contingent valuation method survey was applied to biodiversity improvement while simultaneously assessing rights based beliefs, consequentialism and the theory of planned behaviour. The latter was assessed using measures of attitudes, subjective norms and perceptions of control over willingness to pay. The results show that standard socio-economic explanatory variables are far inferior to those of social psychology and philosophy, and that these factors offer a better understanding of the motives behind responses to contingent valuation. The implication is that alternative means of measuring an individual's pluralistic values should be taken into account in order to assess the validity and meaning of willingness to pay.
