A playset which includes a swimming pool, sandbox, four seats, ladder, chinup bar and a slide. The four seats, which are easily removed from the sandbox, may be used as toys for the sandbox or swimming pool. When the ladder and the chinup bar are attached to the sandbox, they may be used to climb on. The ladder is also used to support the slide. When the swimming pool is not used for water play, it can be turned upside down and placed on top of the ladder and chinup bar. This would provide shade over the sandbox. When storage or protection of sand is needed, the ladder, chinup bar, seats, and slide can be placed inside of the sandbox and the swimming pool can be used as a cover.
1. A playset apparatus comprising:
a first open-topped container, adapted for use as a sandbox and having a bottom and sidewalls;
a second open-topped container, adapted for use as a wading pool and having a bottom and sidewalls, said second container being correspondingly shaped but slighly larger than said first container such that said second container can be inverted and telescoped over said first container; and
a pair of removable upstanding support means extending along opposed sidewalls of said first container, said first container including a plurality of socket means secured to the sidewalls thereof, the ends of said upstanding support means being inserted in and supported by said socket means, said upstanding support means being adapted to support said second container in inverted upwardly spaced disposition over said first container.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, further including a seat means, and wherein one of said upstanding support means comprises a ladder.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a slide having a sloped planar member and side rails mounted generally perpendicular to said sloped planar member, said side rails terminating in a lower generally horizontal edge for resting on said bottom of said second container adjacent to said sandbox, and upper portions of said rails having vertical slots for receiving a rung of said ladder to hold said slide attached to said ladder.
The invention relates to sandboxes, particularly to sandboxes with covers.
A few sandboxes with covers provide some use out of the cover but do not serve as a practical piece of the set.
Many sandboxes with covers may be used for swimming or used for playing in the sand. You would need two separate items in this case. This would be a problem if only a small area for play or storage is available.
Therefore it is important to provide a playset that provides both options for playing in the sand and water, and utilizing the space in the best possible way.
It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide a sandbox with a cover that also serves as a swimming pool.
Another object is to provide an easy to assemble play structure which may be used for exercise and creative play while also utilizing space.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of invention after complete assembly;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the preferred form of invention in a closed position;
FIG. 3 is a front view in elevation of the preferred form of invention;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view showing one corner of a sand container in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken about lines 5--5 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a side view of a seal employed as part of a drain plug;
FIG. 7 is a view of the seal of FIG. 6 and drain plug in assembled form;
FIG. 8 is an end view of the drain plug as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9; and
FIG. 9 is a view partially in section of the assembled seal and drain plug attached to a drain opening.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is illustrated a square base member forming a part of an open-topped container 11 for sand and a square base member forming a part of an open-topped container 1 for water. The container 1 is slightly larger than the container 11 so that when the container 1 is not filled with water, it may be turned upside down or inverted and place over the container 11 for the sand, as shown in FIG. 1. This will afford protection for the sand and enable storage of the entire playset.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the playset completely assembled. The first pieces to assemble are four corner seats 10. These are attached to the four corners of the sand container by means of two depending flanges 10B of each seat 10. The depending flanges 10B are located on the back sides of the triangular shaped seats 10. These slip over the side corners of the sand container 11. See FIGS. 1 and 2 for illustration of the seats.
The seats 10 also have a hole 10A which is located in the back corner of the top. The purpose of the hole 10A is to allow the legs of the ladder 6A and the legs of the chinup bar 7A to slip through. This is necessary for complete assembly of the play structure.
After the four seats 10 are in place, the ladder 6 and the chinup bar 7 may be attached to the sand container 11. FIG. 4 shows an enlarged illustration of the seats and means to attach ladder 6 and chinup bar 7, the ladder 6 being shown.
In FIG. 4 there is a cylinder shaped bracket 9. This is located in each of the inside corners of the sand container 11. The diameter of each hole 10A is slightly larger than the diameter of the legs of the ladder 6A and the legs of the chinup bar 7A. This allows the legs to be inserted easily. The brackets 9 are the same depth as the sand container 11 which is approximately one foot. This gives firm support for the ladder 6 and the chinup bar 7. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are illustrations of ladder and chinup bar.
Means to attach the slide 4 to the ladder 6 is a U shaped angled groove 5 on each side of the slide. This is located near the top of the slide 4 and underneath each rail 3. The diameter of the groove is only slightly larger than the step on the ladder 6. This allows the groove 5 to slip over the step easily. The slide 4 is secured in place when the bottom of the slide 4 is touching the ground. See FIG. 3 for illustration of the slide.
There are two side rails 3 on each side of the main base of the slide 4. These serve as hand grips while sliding and to protect anyone from sliding off the sides.
The container for water 1 may be placed under the slide 4 for a smooth surface to slide into or it can also serve as a shade cover. This is done by placing it upside down over the top of the ladder 6 and chinup bar 7. See FIG. 2 for an illustration of water container 1 being used as a shade cover.
The container for water 1 has a drain 1A which is located in one lower corner. The drain has a plug 2 which unscrews for easy drainage. There is a seal 12 which is a round ring 12A with a T shaped tail 12B. The tail 12B slips through the drain 1A in the water container 1 and the round ring 12A slips over the threads of the drain plug 2. This will help to keep drain plug 2 from getting lost.

I'm looking for a strong key encryption algorithm that has the additional feature that when the encrypted file gets corrupted or tempered with it will fail "loudly"; i.e. it will fail and tell me about it instead of producing garbage as decrypted output.
Ideally one which comes standard with Java. Does AES do this?
Thanks, Carsten
PS> I know that I can do this manually by additionally computing a hash on the encrypted file, but I'd like to avoid doing that.
[edit: removed "public / private" as not really necessary for me, and inconsistent as people pointed out]

Marketing: Are You Blinded By Numbers?
Date Added: Apr 2010
Format: HTML
Think of this: you can fool yourself with words, and you can fool yourself with numbers, but it's harder to fool yourself when you have words and numbers together, and they match. This general idea is particularly true with planning. The words (well, let's call them concepts) and numbers ought to match. Metrics drive planning. You set the goals, establish the metrics, then track progress towards goals, review, revise, and manage. That's what planning is supposed to be. The metrics keep it from being pure blue-sky conceptual without any concrete measurable core. And the regular review makes it steering and management instead of static or sterile.

5 Easy, 3-Ingredient Glazes for Ham
Tips from The Kitchn
Buying a whole ham for Easter, Christmas, or a special occasion is one of the easiest ways to serve an entree for a large crowd. Even though the ham is already pre-cooked, you can still brush it with a homemade glaze as you're heating it up to add some sweetness and punch.
Here are five easy glazes you can throw together from mostly store-bought condiments to make the ham your own!
Recipe: Chocolate Caramel Matzo Brittle
Recipes from The Kitchn
It's not Passover yet, and it won't be for about a week. But while Passover gives us an reason to make this candy-like dessert, really there's no need to wait.
Matzo (or matzoh or matzah), the Jewish unleavened cracker-like bread, is the perfect crunchy, flaky base for a thin coating of buttery caramel and melted chocolate, along with whatever toppings your heart desires. Crispy, flaky matzo covered with brown sugar caramel and bittersweet chocolate — this stuff is so addictive you won't want to wait for Passover.
9 of Our Most Delicious No-Bake Icebox Cakes (and Cupcakes)
Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
The only thing better than a generous wedge of layer cake, in my mind, is an equally generous slice of an icebox cake. Why is this? Well, chances are that you didn't work nearly as hard to create that cake.
No-bake icebox cakes are a little sparkle of kitchen magic, as layers of pudding or whipped cream settle between layers of crackers to form a rather amazing layered dessert that rivals fancy tortes for deliciousness. Here are nine of my all-time favorite recipes. These are the ones you need to know — summer is coming!
Passover Recipe: Chicken Soup with Shallot-Shiitake Matzo Balls
Passover Recipes from The Kitchn
I am all for getting creative in the kitchen, but sometimes, you just don't want to mess around with a classic. Take chicken soup. Whether you call it "goldene yoich" (golden broth in Yiddish), "Jewish Penicillin," or just plain old soup, not much can top the basic, soul-satisfying combination of tender chicken, carrots, celery, and onions swimming in soothing broth.
But you can bring a touch (just a touch!) of something new to the classics, like with these savory, intensely delicious shallot-shiitake matzo balls.
Recipe: Donal Skehan's Mussels in Irish Cider
Recipes from The Kitchn
Mussels have a reputation for being difficult to cook, but this is just not true. In reality, the hardest part is the washing. Place them in cold water (they should close; if they don't you should throw them away). Scrub any dirt off the surface of the mussels and remove the beard with a small knife.
If you can get this down, you will have no trouble — and they take minutes to cook, so they're the perfect little starter.
After the Seders: 4 Ways to Enjoy a Whole Week of Passover Meals
Passover 2015
Every year people tend to get obsessive over their seder menu planning. And for good reason — Passover rivals Thanksgiving in culinary importance. But with so much attention paid to two seder meals, it is easy to forget that Passover and it's many food restrictions, last an entire week. That means no sandwiches, no quick pasta dinners, and certainly no takeout pizza.
I used to let the prohibitions get me down, but I have learned it is much more effective to stay positive. Here are several ideas for how to enjoy the rest of the week's flour-free meals, even after the seder leftovers run out.
Recipe: Zucchini and Asparagus Strata
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
I'm ready to hit the Chicago farmers markets this week and stock up on all the super-fresh local produce I've been craving since last fall. I'll most likely bring home as much as I can carry, and then I'll be faced with the happy task of finding ways to prepare and eat it.
This is one recipe I know we'll be turning to, especially because it can be so easily adapted to use whatever ingredients look best.

10 Side Dish Recipes That Are Perfect with Lamb
Easter Recipes from The Kitchn
With roast lamb at the center of your Easter table, you could go in so many directions with the dishes to serve alongside. You could keep the menu feeling classic with Parker House rolls and Hasselback potatoes — or take things in an entirely unexpected direction with braised spring radishes and a light couscous salad. So many choices!
To help make it easier for you, here are 10 of our very favorite side dishes to serve with a platter of lamb.
Recipe: Donal Skehan's Irish Creamed Kale
Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn
If the thought of kale scares you, then let this be the dish that changes your mind! Think creamy, buttery goodness mixed with delicious soft greens. Like spinach, kale is packed with nutrients, but doesn't wilt down quite as much as spinach when cooked, so it is a great alternative.

From the nice coasts around Melbourne and Tasmania to the picturesque harbors around Sydney, the tropical Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef of Queensland - Australia has everything a sailor could wish for. The nice but small country of Commonwealth of Australia is found in the Southern Hemisphere. It is %considered to be% the smallest continent in the world and composed of other neighboring islets including Tasmania and Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. Australia is also surrounded with other well-known spots such as Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and Vanuatu. Despite its size, it is flocked by millions of tourists every year who are looking for some great fun under the sun, such as sailing in Australia. So where do you basically start with your perfect sailing adventure? You can begin with exploring Port Douglas. You can find the Four Mile Beach where the fine white sands offer the most excellent getaway for both families and couples. The nice views of the clear-blue seas provide a backdrop for those who are seeking photo opportunities. On top of the Four Mile Beach is the Flagstaff Hill, which give you the most excellent view of the entire town. The pina coladas and other tropical drinks coming from Marina Mirage satisfy your thirst you await the return of your yacht. Sailing in Australia should include a trip down the Indo Pacific Marine. It is world famous for being one of the remaining four living exhibits all over the world. Waters are not filtered and there is no manual feeding for the fish. All you get is natural beauty of the coral reef ecosystem. You can further appreciate the experience by taking air-conditioned guided tours. Once you're done with chartered cruises, you can dock in the Mindil Beach, which is a popular sunset market. During the months of April to October, there are more than 15,000 folks who will showcase their local produce, hoping to create a good sale. Brilliant street performers further add flair to the entire affair. Of course, do not miss taking a cruise or sail away into the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef? In the heart of the reef is the Whitsundays. Here you will find 74 tropical islands with a myriad of passages, lagoons and inlets for you to explore. There are many tours and cruises that you can choose from. Of course, as a sailor you prefer your own catamaran or yacht. Within the largest and longest coral reef system in the world, you can watch diving, sailing, and snorkeling. Don't forget that before you dive, you have taken the proper safety courses and brought the proper equipment. Australia is like a rare piece of gem. It sparkles all day and all night. The entire country speaks of a typical Australian personality-warm, cheeky, friendly, impulsive, and outgoing. Sailing in Australia is basically like that. It's a combination of fun and activity under the great Australian sun. D. Browall writes for http://www.sboats.com.

Domino Secedes from iTunes, Opens Own Digital Download Store
Sure, iTunes is revolutionary, gives everyone totally crucial Bono adverts, and is generally nice to have around. But when you want to score some choice tracks from, say, Pram's Dark Island, it just doesn't cut the mustard.
Thankfully, Domino, one of the more consistent labels in the indie world, has their entire catalog now digitized for your consumption at Domino Digital. With unruly, CD-quality 320 Kpbs downloads, multiple formats, and every single Domino release at your disposal, you may not have to visit a record store for awhile (but please, support local business anyway). The site itself is well-crafted, allowing you to search music in a way that music dorks tend to think, offering search categories such as "Classics, "Reissues," etc., as well as the ability to toggle between a list and tile view. You can even preview before you buy. Technology is keen.
Most full albums are only $7-9 (about the same as iTunes), but high-quality access to tons of Movietone and Ulrich Schnauss is priceless (sorry to steal your thunder, Mastercard's PR Firm). Don't spend all your allowance in one place.
Sonic Youth Sign to Matador for Their 16th Studio Album!
Wow, wow, wow! After a tip from Mr. Thurston himself late August (TMT News), it looks like Sonic Youth have officially signed with Matador Records. According to a post on the label's Matablog:
After rampant speculation, Matador Records can confirm the label will be releasing a new studio album from Sonic Youth sometime in 2009. Having fulfilled their contractual obligations to the Universal Music Group, Sonic Youth recently reached an agreement with Matador to release the band's 16th album of new material in all worldwide territories, save for Japan.
The band will head to the studio this fall to record the album, the follow-up to 2006's Rather Ripped. Read the rest of the post here, our recent story about the label change here, and how and why major labels and independent labels work together here.
Yes! Another reason to regret not being rich, apart from my usual desire to look as eerily ageless and perfectly WASP-y as Cindy McCain. The Melvins/Mike Patton-curated Nightmare Before Christmas ATP event (a.k.a. another festival with an awesome roster that I cannot afford to attend) is adding Mastodon, The Damned, Boss Hog, Rahzel, Double Negative, Tweak Bird, and -- wait for it... wait for it -- the legendary, recently reunited no-wave group Teenage Jesus and The Jerks.
Led by Lydia Lunch, Teenage Jesus never released a full studio album and were known for their aggressive, abrasive live shows. They played their first show in years as part of the book release festivities associated with Thurston Moore and Byron Coley's book No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980 this past June (which also partly inspired James Chance's recent show in New York). And now you have the chance to see them December 5-7, at the oh-so-cold, oh-so-English Butlins Holiday Camp in Minehead. More acts are set to be announced, but for now, let me entice you with the so-far complete listing:
Melvins / Isis / Mastodon / Butthole Surfers / The Damned / Fantômas perform The Director's Cut / Squarepusher / Soulsavers feat. Mark Lanegan / Teenage Jesus And The Jerks / Boss Hog / Neil Hamburger / Dälek / Big Business / Black Heart Procession / Rahzel / Torche / Kill Me Tomorrow / J.G. Thirlwell's Manorexia / The Dirtbombs / The Locust / Zu / Bohren And Der Club of Gore / Farmers Market / White Noise / Stockhausen's KONTAKTE with Steinberg & Winant / MadLove / Tweak Bird / Double Negative
Still Punk Rockin' at Age 50, Bill Bragg Set to Go on Lengthy Tour
Punk rock folkster Billy Bragg has announced a 32-date tour set to kick off September 25 in Paris that'll eventually venture into the United States mid-October and finally back to Europe in November for another leg. Bragg released his 12th studio album, Mr. Love & Justice, in March of this year and has been on the road ever since, migrating back and forth from Europe to the United States. A friend's father once told me he saw Bragg in the early '80s, and it was one of the only concerts he can clearly remember in the past 30 years. Hopefully, Bragg's live performance is still a memorable one. More importantly, I hope my friend's father has overcome his drinking problem.

John Darnielle Reveals Two New Mountain Goats EPs and, Coincidentally, The Path to My Heart
John Darnielle, you coy wordsmith, you nimble-tongued tormentor of my soul. You thought that you were simply informing your admiring public of two new slammin' EPs and an upcoming tour with guitar virtuoso Kaki King, but John, you revealed so much more. For one instant in time, our interwebbed e-souls were one.
The ostensible reason for Darnielle's recent post on Pitchfork was to announce two new Mountain Goats EPs arriving on Horse & Buggy Press — (1) the limited-edition (666 copies!) double 7-inch Satanic Messiah available only at Mountain Goats shows or digitally through the trendy pay-what-you-want model (TMT News) and (2) the Scott Solter-produced Black Pear Tree split with tourmate Kaki King — but the true motivation for the posting was, of course, the disclosure of Darnielle's Flickr account and the disclosure of my heart's fondest desires.
John Darnielle, after perusing your photostream a couple (of dozen) times, I saw through your feeble charade of "selling albums" and "gaining publicity," and I saw into your delicate, Satan-obsessed soul. John, I too love inscrutable tofu dishes. And as a matter of fact, I also have quite the soft spot for sleepy cats and cheese-covered extruded snacks. And if you would only come through Georgia on your Last Happy Night of Your Life tour, we could indulge our twin passions together, as God intended.
Satanic Messiah tracklist:

New Monuments – Noise Supergroup – Kick Off U.S. Tour
Minimalist psych overlord, violin ripper, darling of The Wire magazine,
and owner of Tony Conrad's entire catalog C Spencer Yeh (of Cincinnati's Burning Star Core) is teaming up with Borbetomagus-founder/Wolf Eyes-buddy Don Dietrich and snare-shredder Ben Hall of Graveyards for a scalp-scalding noise supergroup called New Monuments. For the group, Dietrich provides the gnarly sax textures, while Hall brings the rhythm tip -- Yeh, as always, comes correct with his mighty orchestral strings fed through myriad effects processors.
New Monuments kick off their inaugural tour this week in Brooklyn for a brief but nonetheless, um, monumental tour. As with most noise tours, the majority of the venues are untraditional (yet intimate) stops -- book shops, community centers, et al. -- and colleges. Unlike noise's most popular acts right now, New Monuments dabble more in improv and free jazz than straight power electronics, challenging your conception of music more than challenging your tympanic fortitude.

Lightning Bolt Tour the World, But Inevitably Discover What They Were Searching For Was Right There Sitting Next To Them Jerking Off
Why is there so much secrecy about masturbation? Everyone does it, but most people keep their techniques a closely guarded secret. Here, for the first time, you have access to hundreds of men and women, candidly sharing their first-hand stories. Learn their styles, techniques, hints, and tips.
But first! Quotes about Lightning Bolt from the press:
- "They're viciously technical and brilliantly retarded and they've made my ears bleed on no less than three occasions." --Stylus
- "What blessed bastardry is this? It's bloody brilliant, that's what it is." --Playlouder
- "So it seems that Lightning Bolt have managed to do what many would have deemed impossible: They've created a hard rock album centered around the bass that doesn't suck." --Pitchfork
- "If what this drums-and-bass duo does with infernal noise is your thing, you're a pretty happy camper." --Entertainment Weekly
- "Stellar noise pollution." --Mojo
- "Underneath all the scuzz and spasm, though, they're a groove band, hustling a hard-edged experimentalism you don't have to work hard to enjoy." --Village Voice
- "When I play this behemoth of a record, all of my relativistic critical bullshit goes bye-bye." --Tiny Mix Tapes
No new album, yet. Sorry:

Atmosphere's Slug and Ant Hit the Road to Paint the Nation Gold… With Their Lemons?
Atmosphere, made up of frontman Slug and DJ Ant, will hit the road September 10 in support of their newest LP, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. Joining the group on the "Paint The Nation" tour are special guests Abstract Rude, Blueprint, and DJ Rare Groove.
The tour will probably hit a city near you -- just be sure to stay tuned for the second leg of tourdates.
Get a Room, You Two! Another Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid Collaboration Is on Its Way
September is always a month full of strange changes. With the anxiousness and/or ambivalence that the end of summer and beginning of a new school year brings (as opposed to just another fall season at your dead-end, suicide-contemplating job), it's comforting to be able to count on a couple of upcoming certainties that will indubitably ease the mind. Mere minutes ago, it would have seemed doubly silly to assume that:
(a) the Bratz Design Academy reality show would actually come to fruition. And that...
(b) Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid would be putting out another collaborative affair.
But, alas, for lovers of tween tart self-esteem destruction (or empowerment, as the Bratz brass would like you to believe) and inspired musical adventures, both momentous events will soon be upon us!
Reid and Hebden will release their fourth album through Domino Records November 18. Entitled NYC, it is an ardent ode to the Big Apple, Reid's long-standing home and Hebden's frequent flight destination. "Everything we did when making the record from choosing the studio to the food we ate to mixing the sounds to the order of tracks was done with New York in mind," states Hebden. Rumors that the two ate at Happy Taco everyday, cussed each other out constantly, and littered the storied Avatar studio in Manhattan with piss-stained newspaper to give the recording that authentic New York feel are unsubstantiated at post time.

Citay Announce Tourdates, Appear On New WFMU Compilation, Are Further Proof That San Francisco Is The New Baltimore
I hate it when rock critics proclaim a different city each month as the new musical hot spot. Yes, there are great bands in Omaha, Montreal, Seattle, and Baltimore, but there are great bands all over this country. Take, for example, San Francisco, a city that hasn't been on the rock critic radar much lately but is, of course, still producing some amazing bands. Citay, signed to Dead Oceans, are one of those bands. And do you know what's cool? This past spring, Citay visited WFMU for their second session and performed the song "On The Wings," which has been included on a FREE WFMU compilation, Selected Sounds From The Free Music Archive Vol. 1.
Citay are touring this fall, so if you live in one of the seven states they're playing in, do yourself a favor and check them out.

Prior to the launch of the Nexus 6 and Android 5.0, we knew Google was moving to making device encryption mandatory for all new devices shipping with Lollipop. As far as security goes, that's a great move, but it looks like it's actually having some negative effects on the Nexus 6.
Early benchmarks seem to show that Lollipop's full disk encryption (FDE) are having some fairly significant performance impacts on the Nexus 6. This is especially unfortunate since the Nexus 6 encrypts itself on first boot and there's no way to turn it off, outside of flashing custom boot images. That's not exactly a user friendly solution.

40 year old woman | Narberth, PA, USA | Seeking men 37-52 within 50 miles
Active within 24 hours
Reach out and say hello! :-)
Do you have interest in meeting an exceptional girl...the kind you can take home to Mom, but secretly can't wait to have some alone time with? Here's a sampling of me: Intelligent (I'm naturally curious and love to learn new things-preferably some from you), Warm and caring (my nieces are the cutest!), Energetic and playful (but love to take time just to chill), and Affectionate (isn't it all about the kiss?, btw- I give incredible massages). I appreciate the beauty in everyday experiences and value the little things. Family and friends are a priority...but there is certainly room for a special guy! Conservative girl on the outside with a wild streak kicked-in for good measure. I'd like to get to know a genuine guy that is intelligent, honest, caring, healthy (both physically and mentally), open to new experiences, cultured, funny, good at what he does, knows what he desires out of life and seeks to achieve it, and finds me irresistible! Wow, that's some list! Okay, if you meet at least ONE or more of the above mentioned qualities we'll talk. LOL. The connections we make with others is what makes life meaningful and enjoyable...so whether I make new friends on here, or find my great love, it's all good! Begrudgingly, at the request of a great guy friend, I put my age younger on here since he says I act and look much younger than my 43yrs., and most think I am in my mid 30's. It was for search terms only, and hope you understand. :-) * I wanted to add...it may seem strange to some that I have not been married. Here are the highlights as to why that is: 1. I'm a child of divorce (parents divorced when I was 8-9 yrs old, so I only want to marry once. I've seen some great marriages...and understand what it takes to build a healthy and loving relationship together). 2. I am highly selective, so if we decide to communicate/meet...know it is because I find you intriguing...and possibly exceptional. ;-) 3. I am fortunate to have had some wonderful longterm relationships...however, I did not feel that these men were the guy I am meant to spend my life with. It may sound corny or naive, but I still believe in true love...and hope you do too!

If I find my match on here...it doesn't matter where we are, we will both agree it is a hot spot and a cool destination!
Okay, here it goes... Travel (here and abroad), love movies, live music, being anywhere that has beautiful surroundings, time with my two nieces, play time, making eye contact with the right guy ;)
What could I possibly write to make you stop and say, "Wow, now that's different!". Hmmm...I can tell you that no matter what I do, I have fun doing it. I crack myself up most of the time...as well as, the people around me!
I guess you can say I like to keep my options open. I tend to be reading 5 books at a time. I usually have a mixture of self improvement (health, psychology, etc), non-fiction and great works. I am by no means a bookworm, just an information junkie.

He didnt buy anything, he was granted options to buy at 1.51. All this is, is a way for him to replace the stock he just sold with NO risk... THat is all, it is NOT an insider buy yet because he did not exercise them, and probably wont until the stock is much higher, insuring him a profit... In my opinion he should have gotten a cock up his ass for selling the stock to begin with, and what does the company do? they issue just as many shares in the for of options to reward him....
s4 sais he acquired them directly?
Wrong, it says 1.51 is the price of the derivative, it also says that 25% vest on the first anniversary of the option grant and then 6.25% vest quarterly... It also says he was granted 300,000 units per performance. Read it carefully... There is no way he can exercise them now, he has to wait until the first anniversary when he can exercise only 25% or 250,000 shares at a price of 1.51

If I was born the year of freedom or the year before my mammy didn't know. Her name was Betty Ivery and pappy's name was Louis Ivery, belonging to old Newt Titsworth who had a big plantation somewheres in Arkansas, but I don't know what the name of the town. Only thing I know that man had a big place – as far as the eye could see that man owned it. He had seven or eight slave families on the place; my mother was the house girl, done the spinning, the cooking, the cleaning and all such. The old master was good to the slaves my mammy always said; never whipped them, but if they got mean and worthless he would sell them. My father was a slave, but he wasn't a Negro. He was a Creek Indian whom the Cherokee Indians stole long years ago and put in slavery just like he was a Negro, and he married with a slave woman (her mother, Betty) and raised a big family. There was King, Louis, Marry, Cindy, Lucy, Jane, Fannie, Martha, Emma, Adeline and myself. I don't know where any is now, we all get separated after the war and never find each other. Master Titsworth's house was a pretty good frame place; the slave families sleep in their own cabins, but all their eating was done together in a long house made of rough brick, and the eating was plentiful with fresh killed beef or pork, plenty of corn pone made of meal ground by the old rock mills, with potatoes and vegetables seasoned high with the meats. The eatings wasn't so good after the war when the slaves have to reach out for themselves; mostly it was corn grits, then maybe it wouldn't be nothing like it is now when I gets hardly enough to live on, hungry most of the time and in the misery so deep I can do no work (she is an invalid and seems likely to die within a short time). There was a white overseer on the plantation and he blowed the whistle which sent everybody to their work. Mammy said he was a good man. The slave owners was always wanting more young slaves and if there was a woman on the place that didn't have no man the old masters would send to another plantation and borrow a big husky slave man for the woman and when the woman was done with child they would send the man back to his own place. Everybody got scared when the war come along; the master was afraid somebody steal his slaves so he ups us to Texas and then we come back to Arkansas after a while and stay there until freedom. We stay for a while with the old master after the war, then my pappy go to farming and making things like wooden tubs, oat straw hats, horse collars and most anything he could sell or trade to the neighbors. My folks was part Indian alright; they wore blankets and breeches with fur around the bottoms. My father's own daddy was Randolph Get – a – bout, and when the Indian lands given out by the allotments I got me 160 acres right here in Muskogee just north of where I live now. I use to own all that, but no more. Lots of the slaves never learn to read or write, but the mistress teach my own mammy after the day's work was done. They set in the house long after dark and the mistress teach her, and then on Sunday, every Sunday too, they would go a little church for the preaching. My mammy would set back over on one side of the seat rows; never did she miss the Sabbath meeting. I belong to the Methodist Church, but since it been eight year that I been unable to get out, I just do all my praying at home. There's nothing else like religion for folks to enjoy.

Review quote
Whether your interest is scientific or you merely wonder what a giant cat whose teeth inspired the name 'he who brings devastation'looked like, this book is not to be missed. -- Luke Hunter BioScience A well-written, informative, and beautifully illustrated guide to the large cats, both extinct and extant. -- Blaire Van Valkenburgh The Quarterly Review of Biology A very interesting book--a cross between popular natural history and a coffee table volume. -- F. S. Szalay Choice Beautifully illustrated... Clearly, this work has been a labour of love for both author and illustrator. -- Douglas Palmer New Scientist Ant n's illustrations, refreshingly 'based directly on the skeletal evidence available and... not merely slightly altered versions of living cats with the addition of large fangs,'are perhaps the finest ever published. They are intertwined with Turner's cogent text in an eloquent demonstration of the interplay between art and science, paleontology and zoology, predator and prey, ecology and behavior, and anatomy and geography. -- Dawn A.

Augusto Castro Herrera (born December 19, 1986 in Medellín) is a retired Colombian professional BMX cyclist.[1] He represented his nation Colombia at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has claimed multiple Colombian national titles in the men's elite category and a prestigious gold medal in junior cruiser at the 2004 UCI BMX World Championships in Valkenswaard, Netherlands.[2][3] Before announcing his retirement in August 2013, Castro also raced and trained professionally for Psykopath Industries BMX Team.[4]
Castro qualified for the Colombian squad, along with Andrés Jiménez Caicedo and Sergio Salazar, in men's BMX cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving one of the nation's three available berths from the International Cycling Union based on his top-ten performance in the BMX World Rankings.[5][6] Castro started his morning session by grabbing the seventh prelims seed in 36.301 seconds, but he could not match a more stellar ride in his quarterfinal heat with 14 positioning points and a fifth-place finish, narrowly missing out the semifinals by a single mark.[7][8][9]

Whether you're fishing, hunting, camping, kayaking, or road tripping to your next adventure, the sun's waves are being reflected off nearly everything. These reflections can create dangerous glare in your field of vision, and Native® Eyewear polarized lenses are here to help. Glare is reflected light that travels on a horizontal plane. Virtually any surface can be a source of glare, including water, sand, pavement, ice, and snow. All of Native's lenses are injected with a durable polarization film in between the layers of proprietary premium lens material. This protective film acts as a glare filter, only transmitting vertical light waves. You're left with sharp, crisp, glare-free vision as well as increased contrast and depth of perception.
