Tap Here to view the Mobile Optimized TFLN
I was totally going to sleep with him, until he got naked and started swinging around his boner singing "I'm so hard. oh yeah yeah yeah, I'm so hard" like Rihanna.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Seriously, where the fuck do all you people who submit this shit to TFLN find these weird ass dudes who do this? Stop having sex with people who clearly shouldn't be within 100 feet of a woman.
Hey, she's lucky the dude didn't start singing 'Raining Blood' by Slayer.
To be fair, she actually did stop having sex with him. She certainly showed better judgement than he did.
Sometimes they don't show their weird side until they get naked. I have some crazy ass stories, but none are in writing so I can't submit a text.
what a rude boy, boy; did he get it up?
Hahahah! That's just funny. ID still fuck him.
How do you go about swinging a boner?
I've always wondered if anyone would ever do that...
hah I'd still fuck him. just cause he made ne laugh.
Haha what a bitch! maybe he hadnt popped one in a while so he was finally happy
Hahaha! I'd still do it, I like a little humor!
There was already a text just like this
Helicopter, helicopter! Daaamn look at that big ol' sum bitch! Helicopter, helicopter.
Hahaha who is this man? I would have done him!!! "if you can make a girl laugh you can make her do anything"
One of the truest quotes ever. Sadly enough. But look around you- it's totally true!
Ahaha that's Luke bonus points! This guy knows what's up.
Oh my goodness, that is hilarious!!
No man who recites Rihanna should be fucked by a woman
Fortunately, most of them wouldn't even want to be.
it would be funnier if this wasn't fake. this was posted awhile ago, just worded differently.
I woulda fucked him even harder
Which rhianna song does this happen?
There was a TFLN exactly like this one already
1:47 bad experience?
It's in the hips broski.^
11:51 "Hard."
Well this girl found him in new orleans
This one is old... Like "hard", this has been played too many times:ONCE.
Yeah don't waste your time on him, go back to fucking frozen hotdogs.
This is bullshit this same text was on here a month ago same thing just typed differently
Go shake your wee-wee
4:16 Marilyn Monroe much?,
How do you swing a boner
epic fail!!!!!
Lol I love new Orleans
Touché, 12:30. Touché.
damn last comment :(
I love this.
Whenever I hear that song now, I think of this.

10 Arrested At Protest Of Patriot Bankruptcy Case
By JIM SALTER
ST. LOUIS (AP) â¿¿ Ten people were arrested Wednesday at a protest outside of Peabody Energy headquarters in St. Louis, the second time in two weeks that the United Mine Workers of America organized a huge protest to draw attention to the possible loss of pension and health care benefits for about 20,000 retired miners and dependents.
About 1,000 people from several states participated in the latest protest over bankrupt Patriot Coal, the company Peabody spun off in November 2007. Many at the protest believe Patriot was set up to fail so that benefits of workers could be stripped away.
"We will not be silent," UMWA Secretary Treasurer Dan Kane said. "We are going to tell the public exactly what they're doing. We want the entire country to know."
After an hourlong rally, Kane and nine other protesters sat in the street in front of Peabody as about 100 police officers stood by. The protest was peaceful, and so were the arrests. Officers placed nylon restraints on the wrists of those in the street, who were led to a van while the other protesters watched, at times singing and chanting. On Jan. 29, UMWA president Cecil Roberts and nine others were arrested at the same location. Organizers pledged to keep coming back if that's what it takes to maintain the workers' benefits. Patriot spokeswoman Janine Orf said the cuts are part of the effort to save the St. Louis-based company. "It's really about our survival, trying to keep Patriot as a viable employer of 4,000 people," Orf said. "We are sacrificing across all employees and retirees. This is just where we are, and it's working its way through the court." Peabody spokesman Vic Svec called it "ludicrous" to believe Peabody could have foreseen the combination of events that led to Patriot's financial troubles.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,494 ViewsThis was actually my first flash animation... its a little interactive pond ... turn up the volume to the max and start the clicking... there are about 5 interactive things, see if you can find them all...
I kept clicking for ages and nothing happend, apart from the creepy face thing and an eerie moan. Apart from that not much.
Waaaait a second... AGH!
I knew this thing was a little shifty. What got me was "Turn up the volume". And that intro mentioning death and that whisper got me too. As soon as I realized it, I closed it. "This is one of those screamer things!" Nice. I almost fell into it. But I avoided it, because, with the exception of Doom, who wants that kind of scare at 4 in the morning? Not I...
Great prank.
aaaha the sound of the wind and water
I really needed that man, thnx!
This is art.
Yes, I know it's not much. And it doesn't have the greatest graphics. But it's highly interactive. It would make a nice screensaver, with or without that creepy face thing. The "help me" was a nice touch. the "waves" loop problem lost you some points, as did the "oooOOOOOOooooOOOoooh", but it was defintely good. I'd suggest you modify the creepy face to fit in better with the scenery, (it looks like a photo, the pond does not,) and fix up the freaky wail. Maybe just have it crying ir something. That would make this much better.

1. Become an expert: People holding the Chartered Business Valuator (CBV) designation are recognized as having completed a comprehensive educational program and the practical experience requirements that are needed to address the challenging issues that typically arise when valuing any business.
2. Position yourself for a wide range of career opportunities: Obtaining the CBV designation offers the potential for pursuing a wide range of career opportunities in industry, government, education, and public practice.
Many individuals such as accountants and financial analysts obtain the CBV to complement their professional designations. For others, it serves to complement a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a variety of fields.
3. Join a pre-eminent, nationally recognized organization: CBVs benefit by becoming part of a strong national body. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV) establishes the practice standards, educational requirements, and ethical guidelines, which support and promote the integrity of the CBV profession for the benefit of all Members.
4. Be part of a growing industry: The field of business valuation has grown considerably in recent years, and is now recognized as a specialized area that requires particular knowledge and abilities.
5. Secure an exciting career: In summary, individuals holding the CBV designation enjoy exciting career opportunities in a variety of areas such as tax and estate planning, shareholder disputes, fairness opinions, business sales & acquisitions, commercial damages quantification, etc.
So maybe the bigger question is why not become a CBV?

Cell Therapeutics Still Has Heavy Debt Load
Cell Therapeutics (CTIC - Get Report) removed a sizeable chunk of its debt burden, but much still remains hanging over the company's head.
Holders of 46% of Cell Therapeutics' nearly $119 million in convertible debt agreed to tender their notes in exchange for cash and common stock, the Seattle-based drug developer said Wednesday.
The preliminary results of the debt tender offer, which expired Tuesday night, cuts the company's debt burden by $54.8 million and will reduce future annual interest expenses by $3.4 million.
But holders of more than half of Cell Therapeutics' debt chose not to accept the company's below-par bid for their notes, which means the company remains in shaky financial straits.
To put the 46% acceptance figure in perspective, Cell Therapeutics was aiming to convince 70% of note holders to agree to the debt tender offer in May, before the company raised its exchange offer earlier this month. The $64 million in debt still on Cell Therapeutics' books includes $43 million in notes due in 2010. Only 30% of the 2010 holders agreed to tender their notes. Cell Therapeutics will pay out $7.4 million in cash and 25.1 million shares of company stock to satisfy those note holders who accepted the debt tender offer. Previously, Cell Therapeutics warned that its remaining cash was only sufficient to fund the company through August. Recent cost-cutting measures and the partial easing of interest payments may extend that cash further, but it's not clear by how long because the company didn't update its financial guidance Wednesday.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Baker once again named top university
Baker University is continuing to keep its prestigious spot among the nation's top-ranked universities.
Baker was recently ranked 46th on U.S. News and World Report's listing of Midwestern universities whose highest degree offered is a master's degree.
The university was also selected for the second year as a top school in the Midwest by the Princeton Review.
Though the U.S. News and World Report ranking is slightly lower than last year's 35th spot, the university is still among the 72 schools listed in the top tier of the four tiers ranked. The magazine rated 143 Midwestern universities in Baker's category.
Baker President Dan Lambert said the university has made the magazine's list since the rankings began 10 to 12 years ago. He said though Baker is honored to be ranked in the top tier once again, making the list is not a goal of the university.
"It's not one of the most important things for which we strive," he said. "I think that if we're doing the job we feel ought to be done, then those things will take care of themselves."
U.S. News and World Report looks at a number of variables when ranking the schools, according to Lambert. He said academic reputation as well as university information that includes graduation rate, student grade point average, class size and teacher to student ratio is scrutinized.
"It kind of covers the waterfront of what the institution does," he said.
But Lambert said the ranking can't examine all of the variables important to the university.
"What the survey can't capture is the character of the institution, or it's tradition," he said. "Perhaps more than anything, that distinguishes one institution from another."
Lambert said he's also pleased with Baker's second year on Princeton Review's list of top-ranked schools. The Best Midwestern Colleges guide features 170 top Midwest public and private colleges from 13 states.
He said the university is ranked based on the perspectives and responses of current students.
"Students are characteristically very candid," he said. "So I thought the Princeton Review was fairly balanced. It painted an accurate picture."
He said the students praised the university's focus on the individual student, as well as its sense of community in their educational and spiritual growth.
Lambert said he was pleased with the recent rankings, but also said the university was just trying to provide its students with the best education institution possible.
"I do believe if the school goes about its mission with a lot of tenacity, you're going to see that reflected eventually," he said.

Jerome Prieur injects his work with medieval madness. The style reminds me of illuminated maunscripts fused with detailed medical illustrations. Jerome has a few new pieces in a group show at Cella Gallery in North Hollywood. The opening is on March 27th.

Louis Cameron
Very cool show from artist Louis Cameron at I-20 in New York. In my humble opinion, there are few subjects that have as much cultural significance as the American Flag, so it doesn't surprise me that artists continue to try their hand at reinterpreting the 'Stars and Stripes'. The paintings in this show depict flags that were created in the 1960′s as a response to the Pan-African Flag (designed by Marcus Garvey), and were meant to symbolically represent the African-American experience. So there, you get some art and a little history lesson on a wonderful sunday afternoon!
Antony Gormley
I heard about a new public art installation called Event Horizon set to debut in the area around Madison Square Park in New York, so I decided to go check it out for myself, not simply because Event Horizon is one of my all time favorite horror flicks, but because it also sounded like an amazing way to spend a beautiful friday afternoon. English sculptor Antony Gormley cast 31 different molds of himself, and has placed them on a series of rooftop perches along the city skyline. There are supposed to be more of these naked men standing on the grounds of Madison Square Park and on the sidewalks in the surrounding area, but I could not find them when I was out and about. It was pretty cool to spot one of these guys from far away, but I'm not sure I would've noticed them if I wasn't already looking. Nevertheless, very very cool. I dug a little deeper, and it turns out Gormley is an extremely accomplished artist, with museum shows all over the world, and several prominent public sculptures, including The Angel of the North located in Gateshead, England. He also won the Turner Prize in 1994, which if you didn't know, is kind of a big deal. I strongly suggest going to check it out!
Kit Webster – Digital Sculpture
Kit Webster challenges the conventional use of space in a gallery with his installation, Enigmatica. Using light to create an illusion of mass, Kit breaks up the room and reconfigures the environment with this digital sculpture. I'd definitely like to see this in person.
Alexa Meade
Remember that one time you visited a haunted house and you swore the painting's eyes were following you? Or perhaps you can recall the last time you saw a painting that was so convincing, you couldn't believe it was a painting? Alexa Meade is an installation artist who bridges that gap. She paints on anything from found objects to live models for her installations. She has a show opening at Postmasters Gallery in NY on April 2.
Roe Ethridge
Stylish, slick, and sexy photographs from artist Roe Ethridge. I was recently introduced to his work by a friend and his subtle and somewhat nonchalant images immediately captured my attention. I found this quote in a self-written press release for a recent show of Roe's at Andrew Kreps Gallery, and I think he gets it right on the money here.
"One of the reasons I've been so interested in this kind of displaced, broad scope approach is an effort to embrace the arbitrariness of the image and image making. For me serendipity and intention are both necessary. Another reason for the wild style is the dread of conclusiveness. The dread of finitude. This work is against death and finality. No, that's too hyperbolic, let's say it's about working in the service of the image and getting my kicks too."
Tofer Chin
Whoa, seriously psychedelic work from artist Tofer Chin. I'm not always the biggest fan of all things Op-Art, but I really like the way Tofer pushes the boundaries of a somewhat tired act. In particular, his "Discus Thrower" caught my eye as being an especially impressive and imaginative reinterpretation of both a traditional piece of art, and an avant-garde style of painting. His show "Alex" closes tomorrow at Fecal Face in San Francisco, so go quickly before it's too late!!
Nick Cave
Chicago artist Nick Cave is currently showing at the Fowler Museum. We got a chance to interview him last year. Nick transforms found objects into what he calls "Soundsuits". These suits are not just sculptural works but meant to be worn. Imagine wearing one of these to the next costume party you attend? Performers inside the suits emit noises, hence the title "Soundsuits". The above image reminds me of our BD shirt: Explosion. Apparently Cave, an Alvin-Ailey trained dancer, plans to eventually have a world-traveling show with 90 Soundsuit-creatures.

Is the Beano magazine a bad influence?
(64 Posts)Hi this is my first thread ever! I was just hoping for some sensible advice. My DH is threatening to throw out all my DS 8years, Beano albums and comics. He loves them dearly but my DS thinks they are a bad influence. ( this weeks was very anti homework which is already a difficult subject to motivate my DS). DH has already got rid of the Thomas the Tank engine books when he was little ( as he didnt like the way they treated each other). Can anyone counter his argument? I dont want another row or to be blamed further down the line. Here's hoping for a quieter life.
is this for real??
Oops that was supposed to be a
Your dh sounds crazy.
it's not half term somewhere, is it?
if he lays blame at dennis & thomas you will NEVER have a quiet life!
Give him Viz and then see what effect it has.
that damn Dennis the menace what is he like is your husband always so loony about things . I cant have a counter arguement because it is so mental it is a kids comic maybe your DH should address your sons behaviour himself and not blame poor thomas and dennis
Yep. Dennis us to blame for all the world's ills.
I don't know what the Beano is like nowadays. I remember having annuals of Beano and Dandy as a kid where some of the stories were of kids playing truant and having adventures. There was also Dennis the Menace bullying Walter the Softy.
No - quite the opposite I think. Children understand it's comedy. It's a kind of fantasy of what they'd like to be able to get away with but would never dream of doing. Almost if its in the Beano then they know its bad behaviour. But that's over thinking it-it's just funny and kids enjoy it.
To be fair I remember DH having a tantrum over DS (who was 4ish at the time) standing at the top of some stairs in a shopping centre and doing the whole 'na na na na na' thing whilst sticking his tongue out and running away. Apparently that was all down to Horrid Henry!
I loved the beano
but I have turned into a horribly mischievous individual, not only do I regularly put stamps on envelopes upside down, but i also park in parent and toddler spaces at asda when I don't even have DD with me.
The Beano influences my lad ....
Thanks to the beano he has built a giant wooden catapult that he can't use ( its too big), makes dens in the garden and behind the sofa that grown ups are banned from, believes that playing in the park with your mates is cool and thinks fart jokes are funny. AND is willing to wear a rd n black stripey rugby top thus making him instantly recogniseable at a distance.
The Beano is great from kids age 7- 11 ish, none of them like homework or boring stuff like shopping anyway. The comic encourages reading, jokes don;t make sense if you don't read them right. Its Not based on a TV show and its doesn't cost 5 quid or have a bit of plastic tat stuck to it every week.
I think the Beano should be required reading for every child
I haven't seen any kids with peashooters or catapults for years.
Actually. I am bloody delighted there are children still enjoying the Beano.
Hmm. If memory serves, all the 'cool' characters hated school, while the softies loved maths etc?
No idea if it is still like that.
I'll bet folding money it doesn't still have Little Plum the Native American boy though. "Um squaw is in um wigwam" or however it went.
I think your husband sounds like quite nasty. Threatening to throw out possessions that ds 'loves dearly' is just mean.
The comics belong to ds. They are not dh's to throw away. How would he feel if you just threw some of his possessions away?
IfIOnlyHad is right, the comics are fantasy - kids know perfectly well it is a joke. It's supposed to be fun, not taken literally, fgs! But actually there is a serious purpose - comics and fiction are safe spaces for children to imagine how the world would be if the rules were subverted. You can explore the idea of rebellion without having to actually rebel and risk real-life consequences.
When ds brings home a Horrible Histories book from school, will dh throw it away because it makes fun of a serious topic? Will he never be allowed to read Captain Underpants, or Roderick Rules? Tell your husband to read his own books/magazines/newspapers and leave ds alone!
Oh, and make sure dh doesn't go anywhere near the South Bank in London - I went with ds and a friend and her kids. Clearly it's only sheer good luck that none of them have been expelled/arrested in the week since...
DS1 was completely obsessed with the beano, to the point that when we were on holiday and weren't able to buy that weeks's issue we had to phone our corner shop to reserve it to collect on our return. DS now doing a degree in speech therapy.
will that do for your dh?
Well my 70yo DDad grew up on a diet of Thomas the Tank Engine (first published in 1945) and the Beano (1938) and he and the generations that followed him seem to have grown up OK.
I think your DH is verging on the deranged - what stories did he enjoy as a child.
Is it because Charles and Camilla are in it after visiting DC Thomson?
oh, and what edam said, too!
Thanks Ifionlyhadsomesleep I love listening to my son chuckling when he reads them. So far nothing's been acted out. I'm pretty fed up with the plastic catapults. My DH suggests Aquila or Okido but they seem a bit pricey and I'm not sure if they are fun as I've not seen any in the shops.
It's good to have reassurance that he's over thinking it.

Russell Doughten, evangelical filmmaker, dies
CARLISLE, Iowa (AP) - Russell S. Doughten Jr., whose series of evangelical films about a post-rapture Earth was screened to millions of Christians in churches around the world, has died. He was 86.
Doughten died Monday at his home in Carlisle following a long battle with a kidney ailment, Peterson Funeral Home confirmed Saturday.
Although Doughten worked on various secular films- he helped produce the 1958 science fiction classic "The Blob," among other films- he was best known for his four-part film series about what life on Earth might be like after the rapture, or end of times, The Des Moines Register reported ( http://dmreg.co/19EAcxG). Evangelicals think true believers will ascend to heaven and those left behind will fight a war between Jesus and the Antichrist.
The series, which began with 1972's "A Thief in the Night," follows a young woman who is among the non-believers left behind. Doughten appeared in the movie and its three sequels as a pastor with weak faith who doesn't ascend to heaven. The long, wiry beard he wore in the film was his trademark throughout much of his career.
Like much of Doughten's work, the series was shot in Iowa. Former Iowa Film Office head Wendol Jarvis said Doughten strived to make the state a filmmaking destination.
"A lot of people learned their trade from Russ Doughten," Jarvis said. "He was a man who believed in his message and loved his trade. He was very generous to the people he worked with, and he was never one to boast about anything he did."
Doughten also produced the 1967 crime thriller "The Hostage," which starred John Carradine, father of "Kung-Fu" star David Carradine. And he made "Fever Heat," a story about the thrills of stock car racing, filmed in Stuart, Iowa.
Doughten was born en route to the Iowa Falls hospital on Feb. 16, 1927. He graduated from Chester High School and studied drama at Drake University in Des Moines, where he met his wife of 63 years, Gertrude Sprague.
Doughten is survived by his wife, three sons, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

PycassaShell uses SYSTEM_MANAGER.create_column_family() to create column families in cassandra ? Is there a way to dump the DDL before actually making the commit in cassandra? Do I have to modify PycassaShell internals?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Pycassa is using a Thrift RPC call to create the column family, so there's not really a DDL statement being used (because it's not using a query language). If you're talking about dumping the CfDef object, yes, you would need to modify the internals to make that happen, but it's worth noting that the CfDef will have some ignored fields and most of the fields will have their default value populated server-side after the RPC call is made. |

Response from Chicago Public Library Commissioner Mary A. Dempsey to the so-called Fox news story by Anna Davlantes inquiring if libraries were no longer necessary.
Here's a snip: "I am astounded at the lack of understanding of public libraries that your Monday evening story, Are Libraries Necessary, or a Waste of Tax Money? revealed. Public libraries are more relevant and heavily used today than ever before, and public libraries are one of the better uses of the taxpayers' dollars. Let me speak about the Chicago Public Library which serves 12 million visitors per year. No other cultural, educational, entertainment or athletic organization in Chicago can make that claim.
The Chicago Public Library, through its 74 locations, serves every neighborhood of our city, is open 7 days per week at its three largest locations, 6 days per week at 71 branch libraries and 24/7 on its website which is filled with online research collections, downloadable content, reference help, and access to vast arrays of the Library's holdings and info."
From an information literacy angle comes this story about Russia sending spies to find info that arguable could be easily found in other sources. Excerpt from story: "This reflected the mentality of the institution that is willing to spend millions and millions of dollars to get readily available information," Cohen says.
Maybe they need to hire a librarian.

Rather than traveling the galaxy defending the universe from dark forces, Superman may soon arrive in your hometown in a very pedestrian way. As part of the Grounded story line that kicks off in July with issue No. 700 of DC Comics' Superman series, the Man of Steel will walk across the USA to reconnect with the everyday people he is committed to protecting.
The story may be fictional, but many of the places and people that Superman will visit are real. DC Comics is asking readers to write in and campaign for their towns and residents to be depicted in the 13-issue Superman series.
Series writer J. Michael Straczynski and DC's editorial team will select the featured locations.
"Because Superman is a symbol of hope, I wanted folks to have a chance to bring Superman into their town, into their neighborhood, in the pages of the book," Straczynski says.

"Authorities say a 74-year-old Boise woman arrested after pouring mayonnaise in the Ada County library's book drop box is a person of interest in at least 10 other condiment-related crimes.
Joy L. Cassidy was picked up Sunday at the library, moments after police say she pulled through the outside drive-through and dumped a jar of mayo in the box designated for reading materials."

Columbus' public library system is getting the cover story treatment in an upcoming edition of Library Journal after being named library of the year by the trade publication.
Library Journal and educational publisher Gale disclosed Monday that the 21-branch Columbus Metropolitan Library system won the annual honor. The award will be presented at a June 27 reception at the ALA Annual in Washington, DC. The library also wins a $10,000 award and will be featured on the cover of the publication in its June 15 issue.
The publication said the honor goes each year to the library that "most profoundly demonstrates service to community, creativity and innovation in developing specific community programs and leadership in creating programs that can be emulated by others." Singled out were the Columbus library's homework help and job help centers, expanded in recent years as more unemployed Central Ohioans turn to the free service to help in the employment hunt.
Congratulations to the winning library!
Paul McCartney confessed he was "slightly nervous" in the leadup to Wednesday's big concert at the White House, where President Barack Obama was presenting McCartney with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
An all-star cast lined up to perform at the East Room tribute concert, including the Jonas Brothers, Faith Hill, Stevie Wonder and Jerry Seinfeld. Also to appear: Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, White Stripes singer and guitarist Jack White and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. McCartney himself was to perform as well.
McCartney, 67, is the third recipient of the Gershwin prize, awarded by the Library of Congress. It is named for the songwriting brothers George and Ira Gershwin, whose collections are housed at the library. Previous recipients of the Gershwin award are Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.
McCartney played a private concert at the library on Tuesday, and said he'd grown up listening to music by the Gershwin brothers. Librarian of Congress James Billington credited McCartney for "symbolizing and humanizing the global soundscape," with his music and his activism around the world.
Those not lucky enough to snag tickets to the East Room gig can catch the concert July 28th, when it's televised on PBS' "In Performance at the White House." AP story.
Details about the death of School of Continuing Studies student Brian Tsay remained murky Monday, the day after a library staffer discovered the 25-year-old's body in a University Library bathroom according to a report in the Daily Northwestern.
The Northfield, Ill. native's cause of death was unclear and pending toxicology results after an examination by the Cook County Medical Examiner's office Monday morning. A spokesman at the office said no determination would be made on the student's death until test results are released; those reports usually take six to eight weeks, according to another spokeswoman. Both declined to be named.
Spokesmen from the Evanston Police Department, which investigates deaths on NU's campus, were unavailable Monday, Memorial Day.
The library, 1970 Campus Drive, was closed Sunday and reopened Monday at 8:30 a.m.
Wired's This Day in Tech blog reminds us that today is Towel Day in honor of the late Douglas Adams;
"Two weeks after the death of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, fans get together and celebrate May 25 as "Towel Day" in his memory. The tradition continues each year since."
You also might want to take a look at the Towel Day site.
I am toying with the idea of starting up a new professional journal for people in the library world, but I'd like to get some feedback on the idea. I have created a short online survey (under 10 questions!), and I'd really appreciate it if you people out there in library land (library students and paraprofessionals are emphatically welcome to participate) would spare some time to take it. Thanks -- and please feel free to pass this survey along.

Perhaps the simplest explanation of lexicography is that it is a scholarly discipline that involves compiling, writing, or editing dictionaries. Lexicography is widely considered an independent scholarly discipline, though it is a subfield within linguistics.
Many consider lexicography to be divided into two related areas. The act of writing, or editing dictionaries is known as Practical Lexicography. The analysis or description of the vocabulary of a particular language, and the meaning that links certain words to others in a dictionary, is known as Theoretical Lexicography. Theoretical Lexicography is particularly concerned with developing theories regarding the structural and semantic relationships among words in the dictionary. Since it involves theoretical analysis of the lexicon, Theoretical Lexicography is also known as Metalexicography.
In order to better understand lexicography, it may help to know what a lexicon is. Lexicon is a term used in linguistics to indicate the archive of lexemes. Lexemes are abstract, minimal units in a language that link related forms of a word together. For example, the words fly, flight, flew, flying, and so on, are all morphologic variations of the lexeme fly. Fly is the lexeme because it is the base from which these word variations arise.

By Rick Warren — May 21, 2014
"A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret." Proverbs 11:13 (NIV)
Are you the kind of person that someone can trust with confidential information? We tend to think of gossip as one of those little sins, a misdemeanor sin. But when God talks about gossip, He puts it on a list with things like sexual immorality and murder.
Why? Because it is incredibly destructive to relationships.
What is gossip? Gossip is talking about a situation with somebody who is neither a part of the solution nor a part of the problem. And if we're honest with ourselves, what we're doing is making ourselves feel a little more important at somebody else's expense. We're talking about their hurts and their problems, but in a way that makes us feel a little bit superior to them. That's the danger and the hurt of gossip.
There's a story in the Old Testament about a family that struggled with gossip. Moses had a sister name Miriam who one day got caught up in gossiping about Moses amidst the rest of the people. God called them together - Moses and Miriam. He spoke with Miriam and told her what she'd done wrong and immediately He gave her leprosy.
But look at what God did next; he invited Moses to pray for Miriam's healing - to pray for the one who gossiped against him.
Some of you have been deeply hurt by gossip. The story of Moses and Miriam suggests God would say to you, "Pray for that person's healing, the one who gossiped against you. That way you can be released from the hurt that's come into your life."
Perhaps you're the one whose been gossiping. You've been the one talking about other people. This story is in the Old Testament to remind us how serious gossip is, how hurtful it can be to people no matter what side of the situation you're on.
The truth is, when you keep confidences it makes your relationships healthier. It enables you to keep connecting with others in positive and genuine way.
What would happen if you applied the lessons from events in Jesus' life—temptation, suffering, death, resurrection—to your own? This DVD study, based on producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's major theatrical release, Son of God, features New York Times bestselling author Pastor Rick Warren as he explains how you can find your purpose in studying the life of Jesus.
God made you to love you, and he wants you to know him as well as he knows you. To have a relationship with him, you have to communicate! In this series, Pastor Rick walks through the reasons and means God uses to speak to you and how you need to respond so that you can recognize his voice and respond in obedience.

January 16, 2011 -- Since the dawn of semiconductors, the dies, the packages, and the boards they reside on have typically been designed by different teams that focus their expertise between predefined boundaries. Most have seen those flows where the die design gets thrown over the wall to the package designer, who then designs the package and throws the package footprint over the wall for the printed circuit board (PCB) designer to incorporate into the board design.
Today, memory interfaces have single-ended data rates in the 1GHz-plus range, and serial links are running upwards of 10Gbps. The "throw-it-over-the-wall approach" has become completely ineffective. A precise design, analysis, and rules-based control of each of these signals is required at the die, package, and PCB level. The analysis and optimization performed on each one of these interconnection levels must be done in a global context. By Real Pomerleau, Stephen Scearce, and Tom Whipple. (Pomerleau is a technical lead engineer in the Systems and Silicon Engineering High Speed Design team at Cisco Systems, Inc.; Scearce is the manager of the Systems and Silicon Engineering High Speed Design team at Cisco Systems; and Whipple is currently a Product Engineering Architect at Cadence Design Systems, Inc.)

It has long been rumoured that the next operating system to come from software powerhouse Microsoft, the expected Windows 8, will launch in 2012 with new mutterings from the computer company appearing to confirm this. In an official press release to celebrate the first birthday of Windows 7, Microsoft Netherlands reported that Windows 8 was around two years away, all but confirming rumours of a 2012 arrival that were first mooted based on information spotted on a slide at Microsoft PDC back in 2009.

Headlines about the financial crisis, violence around the world, international tension, and global warming read like a script for a movie about the end of the world. But it's not all doom and gloom out there! Thanksgiving is the perfect time to look at the positive things going on around us. Here's a list of six things you can be thankful for this year.

A survey conducted in 14 countries found that more than 50% of smokers in six countries thought of smoking cessation upon seeing health warnings on tobacco products, while 25% of smokers in another seven countries said the same. The study, published by the CDC, also indicated that warnings that used pictures or graphics of adverse health effects of smoking as well as those that can be easily seen were most likely to prompt smokers to try to kick the habit.

Free Training for your CDL
Apr 21, 2007
Do you offer free CDL training and job placement
Jun 21, 2007
Is there any free training for a CDL. I already have the permit.
Aug 7, 2007
is there any free CDL Pemits
"Trucking Is Not A Job-Its Life" Since: Jun 07 1,136 Richmond / Colonial Heights,VA |
Aug 7, 2007
There is no such thing as free training...if they tell you its free, they are feeding you a bucket full of shit. there will be one or more of the following attached to the "free deal". if you fail the class you will pay for it. they may tell you, the company that hired you paid the training. the catch to that is ,you be under contract to them at least 18 months and will be making next to nothing. if you do get hired by the company and you get fired before your contract is up you will pay for the school. the only thing free is a persons gulability.
Aug 12, 2007
Alright It's sounds to me that nothings for free and we all no if it sounds to good to be true it is.
So here I'am wanting to get my CDL. No rich people in my life so a compamy who will train me, is my only way. Now out of all the Trucking Companys, who is best for training and treating there drivers good? Come on trucker's give me a name" |
"Trucking Is Not A Job-Its Life" Since: Jun 07 1,136 Richmond / Colonial Heights,VA |
Aug 12, 2007
Well two companies to stay away from are Swift and Schneider...both have bad reputations at screwing school drivers......I think your best shot would be Werner (reputation is not as bad as the other two). I have never heard anything bad about FFE Transportation Services.
Aug 15, 2007
what about england trucking?
anyone have any input on them. i was thinking about them. thanks. |
"Trucking Is Not A Job-Its Life" Since: Jun 07 1,136 Richmond / Colonial Heights,VA |
Aug 15, 2007
I have never heard anything bad about CR England but as with anything read the contract real good..pay attn. to what you will be paid class room time and starting road time..some companies the first three weeks of driving with a trainer you will only make 350.00 or 400.00 a week pretax. and also see what you get covered for exspenses such as hotel costs, meals while your in the classroom training alot of companies will not cover those costs.

Do you offer free CDL training and job placement please ?
Aug 28, 2007
How can I get free CDL training in Alabama?
Aug 28, 2007
Well, do you know and good company willing to hire me, because I have a misdermeanor charge on me for Recieving Stolen Property 3rd degree, I've applied to Pam Trasport, Schenider, Lisa Motors Lines, FFE transportion, Rohel and several others companies.
Aug 28, 2007
Who is a great company who offer training
Aug 28, 2007
Who is hiring inexperienced drivers with no CDL?
Aug 28, 2007
You know, I went down to the DMV and picked up a CMV drivers manual and studied it on my own. I took my written test and passed it which gave me a permit. I called a few places to see about on job training. I hooked up with a concrete company obtained my class B CDL and drove for 2 years. Later I rented a tractor trailer for 250 dollars and took my drive test and obtained my class A CDL. I now drive a very nice tractor trailer while making decent money. 5,000 dollars for CDL Training is highway robbery. The point is I have my CDL and I paid 250 dollars to rent the truck. Thats it! You might look into something like that.

Aug 28, 2007
Doing it that may have worked for you but most all major companies won't hire new drivers without "school training". I guess a company would rather see a certificate, then hire a driver that actually has skill. true thing is a certifiate doesn't make you a truck driver, only a steering wheel holder.
"Trucking Is Not A Job-Its Life" Since: Jun 07 1,136 Richmond / Colonial Heights,VA |
Aug 28, 2007
there is no such thing as free CDL training. anyone tells you its free, they are full of shit. the scam, yes scam, works through a couple diffrent ways.
the most common way is, the company will pay for the training and you sign a 18 or 24 month contract working at reduced mileage pay. also be prepared to work for weekly pay of 300.00 or 350.00 a week for 4 to 8 weeks while you run with a driver trainer. and here is where a company gets you, if you quit or get fired before the contract ends, you will be held liable to pay back the money the company paid to the school. the only thing free is the gulability of people that think anything like that is free. |

Good luck finding a driving job with that on your record. I mean there are small local companies that may give you a shot. but as for any of the major carriers it would be a hard sell. the insurance companies have a huge say on who a company can hire. with that on your record, it will send a red flag with the insurance company.

I am happy I came across this site today...!!! I am suppose to start my CDL training in a week with TDI Channahon, IL. They place graduates with Werner... The recruiter has asked me to fill loan papers for the cost of the training... My first impression was of suspicious. I know nothing is free, but still I find this suspect. Am I wrong...?

Depends on how long ago this happened... If its recent, I would say "Yeah you are out of luck..." But if its like 5yrs old you should be in good shape. Depends on the company also... |
