Sit alone in a dark room for 3 days, doing nothing. Conversation starters will just start pouring into your mind.
If you're worried about someone breaking in Just draw an alchemy circle around you, have dozens of candles going, then finally wear a black monks robe with a hood(picture the greybeards look). Someone breaks in and see's that shit, they'll freak out and run away.
I was married once. Anyway congrats. And off I go to North dakota for the 3rd time this year. *sigh* Getting tired of this 11 hour drive man... Anyway I shall return on the week end or so.
Why the hell did I think you had already tied the knot lol? Well that's awesome for you hun! Why do you say "potentially" though? You're not having second thoughts are you?
Third time this year? Which is only 23.5 days old lol? That does suck balls the size of church bells. Well have a safe trip!
That's a bunch of driving, so I'm with @powersp in saying that sucks balls the size of church bells. Drive Safe Congratulations, but what do you mean by "potentially" getting married ?
I'm moving there next Sept. Hmmm. Potentially as it depends on whether or not I can get the flights tomorrow. Also depends if we can get an appointment.
You're moving to our side of the pond Emz? If so the United States of America shall be much richer for it. Ahhhh I see. On the "potentially" thing. Well that's good. Ya had me worried there for a sec lol.
He's around. I've spoken with him on other boards today, but now that you mention it, I haven't seen him here. Curious.
I got Far Cry 3 and I'm loving it, I've gotten stuck in a mission though and don't know what to do, the one with the burning building. Can anyone help. And congratz Emz. Nevermind I got it.
Pics of you and your future husband standing next to each other butt naked with the tip of his erect penis touching the rim of your butthole. Pls.
You're one ahead of me now. I'll be up to 11 once I start my trilogy run. I knew people didn't go there by choice.
Other than the high paying jobs, no. Even then, jobs are becoming hard to obtain. Refer to Minots/Wiliston areas Homeless. Most if not all the people out of work/housing are from out of state. Personally I hated working there. Every employer will treat you like shit cause you're an outsider. North dakota people are highly territorial, it's rather pathetic.
Okay so fixing my S10's seat slider bracket isn't going to go my way. Nothing new there... I have no money so even hitting a junk yard can't be done, so self repair options are all I can do. Plus the whole leaking anti freeze at an alarming rate. Blah. Suppose not having a job is helping cause I have a shit load of free time at least. Oh and I found 2 quarters and a cheeto under the driver seat. Lucky me.
Dat feel when you spend hours trying to activate the Dark Brotherhood questline Only to forget all you need to do is sleep in a bed.
Got into an argument today with a libtard at the Gym. Because I don't want to have my second amendment rights taken away and have to deal with the retarded laws both state end federal, I'm a "Typical right wing gun nut republican". I normally mind my own business at the Gym just listen to an audio book and do my routine. There is a Rep Judge that I work out with and when they started their "Discussion" I couldn't help but chime in. It got a little heated. The judge was behind me all the way until I mentioned being an Atheist Libertarian that didn't care who married who and thought marijuana should be legalized. Then it became a 3 way argument and my physical trainer had to tell us to shut up and get back to work :-p
I'm all no backlog until I use up the last of my dbl xp MP games for Halo 4 that expire Thursday. Then no more backlog until I finish DS3 With Radge. Just got thinking we're going to have to play it twice So that we each get the story of each player. From what I hear depending on who you play as you see different spooky shit and what not. Going to be fanfuckingtastic. :-D
Well, I don't tend to make the argument about more guns means less gun violence so lets give everyone one guns. But I was accused of it in when the Libtard said "We didn't try to combat drunk driving deaths with more booze" To which I replied "And yet they still kill more people each year and cost the tax payers way more money. I have yet to have anyone shit on my rights to try and stop it. They just give them a licence to kill a year after their first offense. These laws are broken and target and affect law abiding citizens not criminals or the mentally ill." Then libtard said "Well! If you're so worried about abortion and (he actually did air quotes for this and up until right then nobody had said anything about Abortion) "Pro life" then why are you against gun control? That's why when I lost my shit, and I'm paraphrasing a lot here but those air quotes set me off. I'm not against abortion in a legal standpoint. I think its wrong to kill babies or zygotes or whatever. I love my daughter and kids in general. I think its sometimes an easy way out for people who are not responsible. If you're raped on the the other hand go for it. I just think it shows how far the human race has fallen when they flush children just because. That said I don't think there should be laws against it that's not how I roll. If a state/city whatever doesn't want an abortion clinic in their area so be it, people can travel and well sorry to go off on that. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Anyways I came back at that comment with basically what I just said, and that's when the Judge started to lose me. :-p I then had to play a little devils advocate and throw their argument right back at them. I said more lives were ended by abortion last year than guns and you're fighting to keep abortions legal and not guns? Then the Judge was with me again and the libtard was enraged. That's when it all came undone. He was spitting and sputtering. And I figured the pro gun side won because the Lefty was so bent out of shape.
This gun control argument is serving a couple of purposes, they're testing the waters to see how far they can push the "One World" agenda, if they get the gun control through, the UN is one step closer to becoming the world government. The second purpose is a distractuion from the sequestration and budget arguments that should be more important right now. I'm pro choice when it comes ot abortion. But I also think they should have to wait a set amount of time (except in the case of rape) to ensure that it's not strictly an emotional decision, a cool-off period if you will. That should minimize the amount of flushing children just because. Your description of the argument is a typical example what happens when a Lefty gets presented with facts, they become enraged and sometimes accuse of being racist. That's happened to me on Facebook a few times now.
LOL I just ignore such things. Ya just can't talk intelligibly/rationally about politics or religion with strangers. It just gets outta hand. Ya gotta keep those topics for people you KNOW you can discuss them with calmly. That can be tough even among friends lol. I hear ya though. Sometimes ya just can't help yourself lol. Happens to the best of us. Libtards & contards are the same damn thing to me. Both equally retarded lol. The libtards are having a field day with this law though. No question. A good flip side example for me is from election time last November. Direct quote here: Ya know, if Obama gets in again the whole country will turn Muslim. Oh...ya mean like the MAJOR religious shift in the country during his first four years? Ya jackass! Somehow, to this day I still don't know how lol, I managed to hold my tongue on that one.

Spanish stocks rose for a second day after short interest fell in the biggest traded company and the City of London, home to many hedge funds, shut down to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
Spain's Ibex-35 (IBEX) rose as much as 1.5 percent after posting its biggest gain in three weeks yesterday, also a U.K. holiday. The index traded 0.3 percent higher at 11:00 a.m. in Madrid, led by Bankia SA. (BKIA)
The benchmark gained as the holiday marking the 60th anniversary of the monarch's coronation freed investors to attend parties across the capital instead of selling Spanish stocks, said Ivan San Felix, an analyst at Renta 4 in Madrid.
"The hedge funds do a lot of damage and they've been heavily short on Spain," said San Felix. "Let's hope they relax, have a good time, enjoy the Jubilee, and maybe we can gain a bit more."
Short interest in Telefonica SA (TEF:US), Spain's largest company by market value, fell to about 2.1 percent of outstanding shares on June 1, the latest day for which data is available and the lowest level in at almost six weeks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Short interest in Bankia, the lender that requested a 23.5 billion-euro bailout last month, dropped to two-month low of 2.5 percent on June 1, the last trading day before the four-day holiday.
The Ibex had dropped 29 percent this year through June 1 as investors bet the Spanish government will have to seek a bailout from its European Union partners in order to recapitalize its banking system. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on June 2 urged investors to ignore "irrational" concerns about Spanish securities and insisted the government won't need a rescue.
The extra yield investors demand to hold Spanish 10-year government debt instead of the benchmark bunds narrowed to 524 basis points today.

NYDA case postponed
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Former National Youth Development Agency head Andile Lungisa and three others appeared on charges of fraud and money laundering in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Monday.
The matter was postponed to April 17 because the lawyer representing Lungisa, his wife Ursula Sali, Thabo Shogolo, and Xolisile Guquza was sick and not present in court.
The four are accused of accepting and sharing among themselves R2.5 million paid by the arts and culture department for the Nelson Mandela Sports Day concert.
They allegedly promised that US singer R Kelly would perform at the concert, but he did not.
Previously, Lungisa and Shogolo were granted bail of R10 000 each, Guquza was granted R5 000 bail, and Sali was released on a warning. They were arrested in October after handing themselves over to the Hawks. - Sapa

Follow-Up Postings:
Prachi, Welcome! Since you will have a mini vacation this year I think you should spend time with family and friends doing anything you enjoy. If not plan a vacation to some where you've wanted to go but never had the time. Please come back and let us know what you will be doing this year for Christmas. Punk |
ya.. you are right punk. I must spend a great time with my family and friends. now i am thinking of giving some gifts to my family members and friends so now can you suggest me what kind of Christmas gifts i should buy and from where? and thank you for your reply. |

Do you do your shopping in India? or the US? Many places to shop or make handmade gifts. Jeanne S. |
Hi Jeanne S, I forget to specify about place but I generally use to shop from online shopping sites. |
I like to buy personal gifts that are things each person enjoys. If girls like pampering themselves I buy from Bath and Body. They have lotion, cologne and nice smelly stuff. While others like the outdoors so I buy them nice scarves and gloves. Another thing I buy for the girls is neat thin wool socks. They have such a variety and it gets really cold here. Can't enjoy the outdoors with cold feet!haha Most people are pretty easy to please so anything for the home or a personal gift is usually pleasing. In our family some don't care to receive gifts that are work related while others like those type of gifts. Good Luck and I hope you have a nice holiday. Punk |
Thank you so much punk. You are right everybody has different choice. so i have to purchase gifts as per their choice. i"ll try to get some personal gifts from online shopping site. |
- Posted by pink_warm_mama_1 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 29, 13 at 19:09
Spend the days with those you love and care about. I wouldn't worry too much about gifts because friends and family will be happy just to be with you. Maybe help with the big dinner if necessary. Otherwise, just laze around as much as possible and enjoy your wonderful free time. Happy Holiday. Pink |

text: I am looking for some kind of plan that accepts nursing mothers (and when the baby is fairly young, starting at 6-8 weeks, I know WW does after 6 months I hear but I would like to start sooner). I also want it to be the kind of plan that just tells me what I should eat (ie. this food at this meal) rather than something like calorie counting where I have to figure it out myself. I have done calorie counting for most of 8 years but would like to try something a little more structured/less work for me.


text: 27 February 2014 archive Tweet See all show photos IF Olivier Rousteing has his way, next season we'll be marching to the beat of Balmain's regimental drum - for today, at his autumn/winter 2014 show for the brand, it was a military-heavy affair. Rousteing enlisted his own model army (Rosie, Joan, Jourdan, Karlie, Edie and Malaika - a formidable force to be reckoned with) to showcase his vision, which manifested itself in pocketed cargo trousers; gabardine jackets with drawstrings, box-pleat pockets and layered ribbed cuffs; regalia-resembling heavy gold detail; and of course that synonymous khaki hue. But being Balmain, it wasn't about practicality – this was a high-wattage outing that was focused on strength and sensuality. Sexy pleated skirts, tight little waists and leopard-print chain belts were rigid, restrictive even, and kept the form defined in a corset-like way, while later weighty rope dresses and leather jackets had a tight and constricted structure. It was the easy-going, looser pieces that satisfied our eye more so than the pieces that imposed restraint – the encasing rope designs which exposed bare skin beneath were more Rihanna than relaxed (the star herself turned up to support her friend Rousteing in a head-to-look from the collection, showing exactly what it takes to wear one of these designs). But it was a collection that was cohesive - the lavish detail of which enhanced by the sensational ceremonial surroundings of the Hotel du Ville – and one that will have fans of the label standing to attention next season.

There's new vigor at the 108-year-old National Audubon Society, a nonprofit environmental group focused on birds, which is in the process of rolling out a more cohesive, mission-driven strategy for the 21st century.
On Tuesday, the society announced that it had hired industry vet Mark Jannot to run its award-winning magazine, Audubon, and revamp its content and communication strategy. Among other things, that will mean merging the society and magazine websites, building a stronger social media presence, and launching new digital products. But the changes actually run much deeper.
According to David Yarnold, the society's president and CEO since 2010, Jannot's hiring was the end of the first phase of Audubon's "reinvention," which began 32 months ago with the creation of "the first original, conservation-focused strategic plan" in more than 20 years. The goal is to unify the organization's 22 state offices, 47 nature centers, and 465 chapters nationwide, in pursuit of the society's mission "to conserve and restore natural ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity."
"We'd never had a shared vision," Yarnold explained, "and in its absence what you had was a set of terrific, but disconnected, state programs, and no common sense of purpose. So there was no way to drive large-scale conservation. No way to work with the big conservation funders. No way to have the kind of conservation impact at the scale that's needed to meet the environmental threats that we face."
The strategic plan, "Roadmap for Hemispheric Conservation," runs through 2015 and aligns the society's work along the four major flyways of the Americas: Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific. Audubon projects that the effort will save 64 bird species and conserve 118 million acres of natural habitat.
The society is scrapping a few things, like education programs that do not serve its conservation agenda and small-scale federal invasive species policy work. But a key part of the plan is to beef up public engagement.
A lot of what Audubon plans to do, such as merging the magazine and society websites and developing a centralized suite of digital products, isn't terribly new, Yarnold conceded. "We all know that the big change over the last 20 years has been the emergence of cross-platform journalism," he said. "Audubon somehow missed that wave and this is our chance to leapfrog everything that's happened and stitch it all together in brilliant new ways."
Last year, for example, the society launched its first digital newsletter, Wingspan, which is available in a national edition or in editions tailored to each of the four flyways. But it will be Jannot, who starts May 13, that does most of the stitching.
It's too early to share specifics, but like Yarnold, Jannot's goal is to unite the society's vast network, which includes 4 million people reached through its state offices, nature centers, and local chapters, 1.8 million readers of the magazine, and more than 100,000 friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter.
"What I want to do," he said, "is create a really well-integrated content strategy where all our platforms are working together—magazine, unified website, social media, mobile—to engage the audience, to inform them, and to energize them in support of the Audubon Society's mission."
Though he admits he's not yet a dedicated birder, in one way or another, Jannot has focused on environmental issues for most of his career. In the late 90s, he was a senior editor at Men's Journal for two years and the executive editor of National Geographic Adventure for four years. From 2004 to 2012, he was editor-in-chief of Popular Science and during the last three of those years, he was editorial director of the Bonnier group, which owns Popular Science and number of other magazines. During that time, he led the development of Bonnier's Mag+ tablet-publishing platform and launched a custom-built iPad edition of Popular Science called Popular Science+.
Last May, Jannot left Bonnier to take an ill-fated job as the chief content officer at Reader's Digest Association, overseeing titles such as Taste of Home, Birds & Blooms, and Farm & Ranch Living. The company did not have the resources to back up the grand plan it envisioned, however, and Jannot left last September.
With total revenues of $89.9 million in 2012, Audubon is on surer footing. But one of the things that most attracted Jannot to the society was the opportunity to get away from the world of profit-driven publishing.

Please Wait - Updating Your Shopping Cart
Ordered these boots after lots of looking. Had quarter-boots previously and liked those, but wanted a full boot with zipper. These are very comfortable and don't restrict the ankle as I feared. The support for the bottom of the foot is very comfortable as well. They arrived 2 days after I ordered so very timely. Will likely reorder in the future and would recommend these to any one who works on their feet.

Spain asked euro-region governments for as much as 100 billion euros ($125 billion) to rescue its banking system. Following are the main details of the agreement, reached on June 9.
* The loan, worth up to 100 billion euros, will be channeled through the state's bank-rescue fund, known as FROB, and extended to banks that need it. Amount includes "safety margin," Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said in Madrid on June 9.
* FROB acts as "agent of Spanish government," which "will retain the full responsibility of the financial assistance and will sign the MOU," Eurogroup of ministers said.
* Conditions will be "focused on specific reforms targeting the financial sector," Eurogroup said.
* Progress by Spain on structural reforms and deficit cuts "will be closely and regularly reviewed also in parallel with the financial assistance," Eurogroup said.
* Only lenders that need capital will get it. Many won't, de Guindos said.
* To be decided whether the European Financial Stability Facility or permanent successor European Stability Mechanism will be source of loan.
* Finland will demand collateral for the loans if they come from EFSF, rather than the ESM, whose loans are senior to other debt.
* Formal aid request due "shortly," Eurogroup said.
* European Commission, after liaising with European Central Bank, the European Banking Authority and the IMF, to provide assessment.
* Interest rate on loan to be 3%, El Pais reported on June 10. De Guindos didn't give details, saying only that the terms are "very favorable."
* IMF says on June 8 Spanish banks need at least 37 billion euros to weather a weakening economy and that figure could rise. IMF official recommends building total buffer of 60 billion euros to 80 billion euros.
* 100 billion euros is equivalent of about 10% of Spain's GDP. FROB debt counts as public debt, which amounted to 69% of GDP last year. Interest on loan will affect deficit, de Guindos said.
* Spain's deficit was 8.9% of GDP in 2011. Aiming for 5.3% in 2012 and 3% in 2013. Government sees economy shrinking 1.7% in 2012.
* Spanish banks have 184 billion euros of what the Bank of Spain terms "problematic" assets linked to real estate.
* De Guindos's two banking decrees this year ordered banks to make additional 84 billion euros of provisions and buffers, taking the coverage ratio of troubled real-estate assets to 54% and to 45% for all real-estate assets, according to Economy Ministry.
*FROB has already committed 18.7 billion euros to help struggling lenders. The industry-funded deposit-guarantee fund has agreed to pay back 3.7 billion euros of that, according to the Bank of Spain. Those figures exclude Bankia Group, which is seeking 19 billion euros of public funds.
*FROB previously had 5 billion euros in available cash, de Guindos said on May 11.
