Calves that become feet without taking an ankle break.
Look, Mary! Al is making a special anklet for your kankles! It's a kanklet!
লিখেছেন- attentionwhore 22 de এপ্রিল de 2004
When the calves and feet are connecting showing no ankle. Its extremely NASTY.
Katie Kurbis has the worst kankles, worse than Aaron Ganz!
লিখেছেন- Katie Hater 7 de নভেম্বার de 2004
A term refering to the body part where the ankle is located, but is not visible due to swelling or a condition preventing the ankle bones from being visible. Kankles are a humorous term referring to the absence of an ankle where it appears the lower leg grows straight into the foot.
Kankles form when an ankle is sprained and swelling, a medical condition causes swelling or swollenness or an excess of body fat gathers at the ankle site.

i wonder how people describe me when they're talking about me to someone who's never met me
please keep in mind that you're a work in progress
you improve each and every day
it's never too late to accomplish anything
we are constantly changing so don't give up
you can refine and redefine yourself and you work as much as you want
can we relive some of Nsync's bad wardrobe choices? k thx
ahhh the 90s and overalls were best friends
ugh tight shirts no
probably not as bad as the others
Justin no
introducing Justin's infamous cornrows
yes this was a good idea
oh this ain't so ba- FLIP FLOPS?
saved the best for last
Last picture you can see Timberlake thinking "I gotta get the fuck out of this group."
the actual, physical ache you feel in your chest and in your bones when you're so sad is fucking awful.
october is coming up
you know what that means
if you have social anxiety and you made that phone call or put in that resume or told that person they're funny or woke up today I am so proud of you and even if you didn't do those things I am still proud of you okay
I will never get over the inequality that men's jackets have inside pockets and women's jackets don't.
I have nowhere to put my sonic screwdriver.
or my fake fbi badge
Or my pocket magnifying glass
or my wand
or my psychic paper
Or my precious
I lost it at my precious
so did smeageol
"lets take this to the bed" *unplugs laptop charger*

My mom's taking this harder than I am. Which kind of makes sense, considering that she married him.
Although she did cheat on him, too (that's where my little sister and the first of the three divorces she's had came from).
She wasn't home when we found out. She was with my older sister. Since she got home, she hasn't said a word to me. She's talked to my stepdad about it, but I think she knows that I'm kind of in a weird place about it.
I've lost a lot of family members throughout my life. Some have hit me harder than others…but I don't think I've reacted to a death the same way twice. I don't know if it's just that I don't know how, or what.
Fuck it. It is what it is, or something.

Unlike a lot of the cocktails we feature, the Manhattan's recipe hasn't changed much over the years. You can vary the proportion of vermouth to bourbon to get the amount of sweetness you want, or you can shake it instead of stirring it, but the ingredients always remain the same. The original recipe used rye rather than bourbon, and if you can find rye, that's the preferred spirit. However, straight rye's not that widely available these days, so Canadian whiskey is a good alternative, because it's still mostly comprised of rye. (ETA: see comments below, as this has changed.)
- 1/2 ounce Italian (sweet) vermouth
- 1 jigger rye (Canadian whiskey) or bourbon
- Dash of Angostura bitters (optional)
Stir with cracked ice, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with a cherry. Can also be served on the rocks.

Notable News December 14
Posted By Correy Robertson On December 14, 2009 @ 1:41 pm In Bulletin Today | No Comments
We've talked about older Americans and technology in the past, and here's another testament to the fact that those of retirement age are really making use of the latest technologies – from mobile phones to DVRs to the "simple" internet. Check out this short article [1] from the New York Times article – it says that people over 65 "spent 47 percent more time than the previous year watching embedded video within social networks." That's a lot of growth!
Here's an interesting article [2]from USA Today that could be crucial for your or a loved one's health. Geriatrician Daniel Mendelson is featured in the article, and he says that the best indicator of an elderly patient's health is their ability to walk around a room. He says that trouble walking is usually a sign of trouble to come down the road. What's more is that doctors are even beginning to look at trouble walking as a disorder in itself. Check out the article for more information on a planned study, designed to determine if patients who engage in physical activity remain mobile for longer than those who attend classes without physical activity.
And finally, this article [3]from the Wall Street Journal outlines the new rules that will apply to Roth IRAs come January 1st. The biggest change: the $100,000 limit for converting to a Roth will be lifted. But, there's plenty to consider if you're thinking of converting your traditional IRA or employee-sponsored retirement account to a Roth… Is converting to Roth right for you? See what the experts have to say.

In the absence of mitigation, methane is expected to continue to make significant contributions to climate change during the 21st century (see Section 2.2).

There is an area that interprets this event as a means to raise funds when a woman is going to get married but did not have enough money.

So i've just got some 35mm film back and i thought to share the love/results. I've been workin' with mainly black and white over the past couple of months to push my borders, but yeah, it's comin' on!
Trying to get my mom to pose for me in the garden but it wasn't happening. Its all fun and games til someone's glasses get knocked off!
Woop woop! Oh hey dere! Its 2013! Survived the end of the world! So i figured I'd start the year with a polaroid post of where I finished it last year. LDN town.
So for the last two weeks, I've been the length of the country taking staff headshots for an engineering company. From their branches in Southampton to Glasgow, its been emotional.
Its coming to an end now, but these are a couple that probably won't make it into that report johnson has to prepare for monday…
So, I've not really posted anything in the past two months, and thats mainly because i've actually been spending more time doing the stuff i post on here as opposed to just posting things.
But yeah, in the past couple of months i went to Chicago, to help my little sis settle in over there as a lab technician.
To Ibiza with my schoolmates - an HadItFackinLAAAArGE didn't i?
I've also got into a steady stream of freelance work, from fashion week, to gaming expos to corporate headshots (which will be kicking off for the next two weeks tomorrow).
Got like over a 100 followers on twitter #CuzIHashTagLikeABoss, had some work featured online and in a paper (the metro, so almost a real paper).
So yeah all in all busy.
But i love the drama now, don't I.
Been gettin' mad Tumblr love with likes and reblogs and whatnot over the past month, so just wanna say cheers. Lol. So many feels! Much obliged.
So one morning i got up really early to assist on a photoshoot. I was at the bus stop for 2pm lol, i joke, i joke …yeah around 8am, but still early for a sunday, and there was this guy. Blowing bubbles. He's a local shop keeper. I asked him what he was doing and he said it would be nice for the children on the way to church to see.
What a legend.

Accurate staging is essential to offer the patient the most effective available treatment and the best estimate of prognosis. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection offers the best chance of cure in the early stages, either alone or in combination with chemo- or radiotherapy at the more advanced stages. However, many patients present with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Both computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) play an important role in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. CT provides excellent morphologic information but has significant limitations in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions either in an organ or in lymph nodes. FDG-PET is highly accurate in the detection of mediastinal lymph node metastases as well as extratharacic metastases. However, due to the poor anatomic information provided by PET, additional morphologic information is needed to properly locate a lesion. Imaging with PET integrated with computed tomography (PET/CT) offers essential advantages in comparison to PET alone, CT alone, or visual correlation of separate PET and CT. A combined PET/CT system provides PET and CT images perfectly coregistered so that lesions can be exactly localized.

The upside of the Move Your Money campaign
" data-share-img="" data-share="twitter,facebook,linkedin,reddit,google" data-share-count="true">
I'm puzzled by Yvette Kantrow's supercilious dismissal of Arianna Huffington's Move Your Money campaign. Kantrow paints the campaign as being about "optics" over substance, and complains that "it emphasizes symbolism over reality and feeling over fact". And she does so with no hyperlinks at all, which means that when she says the campaign "promises to help you 'stick it' to big banks", it's impossible to fact-check her. (That phrase certainly never appears on the initial blog entry which launched the campaign.)
Instead, the campaign was much more than an attempt to stick it to the man: it was an attempt to get people to do the right thing with their money. Here's what Huffington actually wrote:
We talked about the outrage of big, bailed-out banks turning around and spending millions of dollars on lobbying to gut or kill financial reform — including "too big to fail" legislation and regulation of the derivatives that played such a huge part in the meltdown. And as we contrasted that with the efforts of local banks to show that you can both be profitable and have a positive impact on the community, an idea took hold: why don't we take our money out of these big banks and put them into community banks? And what, we asked ourselves, would happen if lots of people around America decided to do the same thing? Our money has been used to make the system worse — what if we used it to make the system better?
Kantrow says that Huffington is "turning the decision on where to bank into a moral choice, like being green or buying organic" — and she's right about that, but in a good way. People think long and hard about where and how they spend and give their money, and they — rightly — consider it very important that they do so in a manner that's consistent with their broader beliefs. The big four banks, however, expanding across the country by acquisition, have simply taken over millions of consumers who never particularly wanted to bank with them and who are now giving them billions of dollars in fees and trillions of dollars in virtually zero-interest-rate deposits.
As Huffington says, there's no doubt that community banks and credit unions generally have a positive impact on their communities, while the too-big-to-fail crew have had an inordinately negative impact on the entire country. If you continue to bank with the big four, you only serve to perpetuate that dynamic. On the other hand, if many people start moving their money into community-based financial institutions, those institutions are likely to be able to do much more good in their communities than they're doing already. (If you live south of 14th Street and east of the Bowery, I'm on the board of one such institution which would love to put your deposits to good use locally.)
The point here isn't to bring the big four to their knees: it's not a negative boycott, in that sense, aimed at the destruction of something you hate. Instead, it's a much more positive thing, telling people that if they move their money to community institutions, then they themselves will be better off financially (friendlier bank managers, lower fees, etc) and so will their community more generally. It's a win-win proposition.

The notion that small banks are good and big banks are bad is a delightful fantasy, tailor-made for simpleminded leftist bumper sticker sloganeering: "Think globally, bank locally." There are valid reasons for people to choose different sizes and classes of institutions; hopping on board that megalomaniac's latest campaign to draw attention to herself shouldn't be one of them.
so then shouldn't we do our banking in community banks in poor neighborhoods?
I'm employed by a TBTF bank, so it would not be in my best interest to bank elsewhere.
Bottom line is that people ought to pick banks that suit their interests, not some larger societal goal. You could slide the GDP of France under the "making the world a better place" limbo bar.
"The notion that small banks are good and big banks are bad is a delightful fantasy…"
…that happens to be supported by the evidence. (http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2010/01/t en-economics-pieces-worth-readings-janua ry-4-2009.html; see my graphic at #3)
Kloughton, perfect!
I dumped my TBTF bank 4 years ago and went with my local credit union. Haven't looked back, I get better interst rates, better credit card and loan terms and outstanding customer service.
I feel good about where I bank and feel good about what they give back to the community.
Kantrow and the other naysayers want consumers to believe they do not have a choice and that it makes little difference where you bank.
It does make a difference, bank someplaces that wants and appreicates your business and actually demonstrates that with actions, not words.
Find out what your bank pays it executives, what it gives back to the community, what it will charge you for its services. Educate yourself and make an informed choice, you will not look back either once you dump your TBTF bank that does not give a rats a** about you.
If you want a movement to STICK IT TO THE BIG BANKS …
Just start a "WALK AWAY IF YOU CAN! WALK AWAY WHILE YOU CAN" Movement and see what happens to the BIG BANKS….
I sure would like to watch this show …
"Bottom line is that people ought to pick banks that suit their interests, not some larger societal goal."
Please… the larger societal goal IS in our interest. Individuals and small businesses are fed up with being used and abused by the bailed out mega-banks who treat them like commodities, steal them blind, and then recieve a tax-payer bailout in order to continue doing same. Local banks and credit unions treat their customers like human beings. If nothing else, I sleep well knowing that my money is with with a credit union where the greedy buggers can't get at it.
Balk now, thank Huff Po later. Move Your Money!
And thanks for this article. Pass it on…
We've used a credit union for personal banking since my Taft-Hartley admission to my union gave me access. They know my name and never treat me like a pariah when I have a question or concern.
It may seem a small thing, but I closed my small business B of A account when they began to charge my employees for cashing their paychecks. When I write a check, I expect it to be treated as a bearer document… not a chance to fleece the people who work for me for a point or two of their income. Do they charge other banks 5 bucks off of every check? If it's not criminal extortion, it should be; and aren't the betrayal of American ideals not ensconced in the relationship defined by B of A's treatment of their customer's employees?
If you are interested in keeping your money in your community, look into a credit union when you move your money out of the big banks. As nonprofit institutions, credit unions are champions of their members' needs and give back through lower fees, higher dividends and lower loan rates, and community service. Plus, most credit unions offer the full range of services you need for personal and business banking.
"I'm employed by a TBTF bank, so it would not be in my best interest to bank elsewhere."
Haha, yeah and if you were employed by Hitler it would be in your best interest to continue incinerating Jews.

Greyton, Cape Overberg
Once you've booked your accommodation in Greyton, explore our pages for info on attractions and what to do in Greyton.
The peaceful little hamlet of Greyton lies surrounded by the Riviersonderend (river without end) mountains and farmlands some 90 minutes from Cape Town. Greyton is fast earning the reputation as a perfect weekend getaway.
Essentially lost in time Greyton, named after Sir George Grey, twice Governor of the Cape, is a picture-perfect rendition of an old town with its gravel roads, thatched roof cottages, pretty little gardens and beautifully restored buildings. The people of Greyton are friendly and the route into the village of Greyton along the R406 as it wends its way through the emerald hills and fields of wheat, barley oats and lucerne of the Cape Overberg, a most pleasurable drive. The sun always seems to shine in this part of the world and the oak-lined streets of Greyton, where ducks cavort in the canals and donkey carts clatter, are as much a way of life as the many outdoor activities.
The historical buildings of the Post House, St Andrews Church, the Smouswinkel and a number of others, are worth the visit alone and, for Capetonians especially, Greyton has become an antique and craft hunters delight with everything from bygone treasures to pottery.
The Noupoort hike takes one to the summit of Kanonberg whilst the Boesmanskloof Trail takes six hours to reach McGregor, on the other side of the mountain range, during which it meanders through mountain side, the Gobos River gorge, a number of refreshing pools and nine waterfalls. If youre not hiking or walking, travelling by bicycle in the town, which dates back to 1846, is regarded as the most sensible alternative. A weekend away in the quaint village of Greyton with its shops, restaurants, pubs and art galleries is simply a pleasure.

"Hmm… Dunno, I really don't think this is normal, but you know her better than me." Wilbur shrugged and started walking by her side, still with an eye or two looking for more of those morons or for Ilia.
Alora sighed ,"why are you following me."
"I'm not following you, I'm just walking by your side, but if you mind me I can go back to my time and leave you alone…" He said shrugging and kept walking.
