This week's podcast November 17, 2015
Monthly Market Outlook November 3, 2015
November will have a hard time matching the excitement of October. Sure, November has Thanksgiving, but for investors, October had the drama of a debt ceiling battle, an inconclusive election in Argentina, a decisive victory for the Liberal Party of Canada, lots of monetary stimulus from China, a European Central Bank (ECB) setting the stage for more easing in December, a Federal Reserve (Fed) signaling that global developments could abate enough by December to trigger a rate hike, and mediocre economic data.… Read More

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Forgotten Felines Inc, Huntsville, AL, USA
Very concerned about this organization. It doesn't seem to be a legitimate business or non-profit with proper licenses with the state of Washington. I would have never checked had it not been for a terribly rude experience with the woman who runs the organization. Any time someone is that rude one has to wonder just what else is going on!
I'm happy when someone takes the time to "do some good", but there are laws and regulations in the state that govern organizations. When anyone fails to follow them, we all suffer.

|Effect of enhancers and retarders on percutaneous absorption of flurbiprofen from hydrogels.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12527159 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The effect of enhancers/retarders on the transdermal absorption of flurbiprofen from cellulose hydrogels was studied in vitro. The release rate of flurbiprofen and the viscosity of hydrogel matrices were also examined. The flux of flurbiprofen from cellulose hydrogels approximated that from aqueous buffers, whereas the skin reservoir of flurbiprofen was lower with hydrogels. Incorporation of the cosolvents, propylene glycol (PG) and ethanol, did not significantly increase skin absorption of flurbiprofen. Ethanol even reduced the skin reservoir of the drug. Oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, produced the largest skin reservoir of the drug when incorporated into the hydrogels. D-Limonene, a cyclic monoterpene, showed the greatest ability to enhance the flux of flurbiprofen. However, phospholipids as retarders markedly reduced the skin absorption of flurbiprofen. The mechanisms by which enhancers/retarders govern flurbiprofen permeation were elucidated by in vitro permeation studies using various skin types (enhancers/retarders-pretreated skin, stratum corneum (SC)-stripped skin, and delipidized skin) and histological examination. The results suggest different mechanisms and skin structural modifications caused by different enhancers/retarders.

Putting my extra bedding up this morning, I stepped up on a stool to put a blanket away. Stepping down, I decided that felt good, so why not do a few more. That got 30 reps of stair steps done in just minutes in the course of my day. Later, while waiting on eggs to cook, I did some squats. A lot of my best exercise comes when I see a short opportunity, and step up to it.

We know that those who eat slow give their bodies time to realize satiety and eat less. I eat alone a lot and find this a challenge. Here are two ways I slow down:

Set New Goals to Build a Record of Success
I have learned that I too often set goals too high. Constant failure to make the mark discourages me and I fall away from trying. Now I set goals that are attainable, see that I can easily do that, then add a little until it becomes a challenge. I sit at that level until that, too, is easy; increasing in small increments to make it a challenge again. This practice is protecting me from discouragement so I can stay the course. Start small. Build big!

Nevermind. I just realized that the emu wont even load the skin with 70 frames if you exit out and come back. Either that or it takes an hour to load lol.... So more frames would be silly.
It seems if I have exactly 80 frames in the sprite folder it loads just fine.... so it must crash the emu if your folder contains anything higher than the software limit.
So would extending this limit be a possibility?

In my experience (which was a while ago, and memory fades ...), the confidence intervals for nodes near to the one you constrain ("near" in terms of the length of the branches connecting the nodes) should be reduced, and sometimes substantially, if the constrained node is close by.

Courteous, professional and kind
Mgmt is rude and uncaring, non-medical staff ill-trained.
by Delores K. , 06/24/2014
Saturday afternoon I took my cat to Value Pet Clinic, in Puyallup WA because of a reoccurrence of vomiting and blood and pus in the stool. Our regular Vet stated the next step would be either x-ray or ultra sound if this reoccurred if the three medications he prescribed did not work well.The waiting room was packed, but after waiting âin your car because of the bloody stoolâ as instructed, we were finally seen. The Vet there recommend a treatment and x-ray, asked that I leave him for one hour, then pick him up. I did. I arrived for pick-up near closing time, and noticed (for the first time) a small sign accepting credit and debit cards, and then stating, âno checks acceptedâ. I told the receptionist that I had not seen the sign prior to being seen because of people standing about. She said I could not have the pet until paid. She suggested I go to my bank. I reminded her it was Saturday afternoon: my bank was now closed. She told me to wait a moment. A woman called us into the first exam room and as I opened my mouth to explain that I do not use debit cards or credit cards she stated rudely, âYou canât have your pet until we get our money. â Her unprofessional start led me to call her bluff with my own. I stated, âWell considering I think he has cancer is dying, just keep him thenâ, She was not happy with my remark and became snotty â interrupting me so that I had to raise my voice over hers as I attempted to explain (as a nurse myself) that I have never been in a Clinic (medical or veterinarian) that did not verbally tell a client of a No Check policy on sign-in., their signs were poorly placed and small, there was nothing in bold print or circled to make it noticeable on the papers I filled out for my cat. As I was speaking she walked around me to close the door to the waiting room that was still open, but I chose to back up and leave it as it was, because she was becoming obviously agitated. I insinuated that no reputable clinic would fail to make this perfectly clear to new client. At this point she challenged my being an RN by asking, âYouâre a nurse? Where do YOU work at? â I answered the question of my historical expertise and said I could bring in cash on Monday, but she walked away bringing my cat in his leather carrier, literally dropped him on the metal exam table. âHere, take your cat and never come back.â No medication, no discussing his need with the Vet I had seen, nothing. I left. To be fair, the female Veterinarian was knowledgeable and seemed to care, but if a manager can withhold treatment because she failed to train her staff properly or put up adequately large signs in plain view (as well as on the door when one enters), I have to wonder if these Vets have free choice of what to order or do they suck you in with tests not needed (I had blood word from 4 weeks prior) that she wanted to do overAt home I immediately documented the exchange. I looked up who the owner of the clinic was and hand delivered the account to his home early Sunday afternoon to whom I assume was his teen son. I stated I would like an immediate response to my complaint. Monday, afternoon I received a call. Not from the own (a Vet himself) but from the same manager who again was unprofessional. She did not state why she was calling; I had to guess. She then stated it was inappropriate for me to take the complaint to his home. I disagreed asked her to identify her source of etiquette information. She then began with, â If you had not acted the way you didâ¦â I said she had been the one acting unprofessionallyâ. âLet me give you some advise..â she shouted over me, whereas, I disconnected from her then phone the owners number and left a brief message as to this exchange. Apparently the owner does not care that his non-medical staff are ill trained, and the manager is highly Unprofessional. I suspect they attempt to bill be for $259.00, but my cat was abu

The UP manager refused to let me contact the owner, claiming that she was in charge of both branches (which was not the case). She demanded that my complaint be forwarded to her, which I did. No response from her yet and everything swept under the rug by Misty, hoping that I would simply go away.

On October 27, 2012 I brought my 6 year old daughters, 6 month old cat in to get neutered. You would think it would be a simple procedure, but no. They had to reopen him 4 times to stop internal bleeding. They also said that if he started bleeding again to call the emergency vet to take him in right away. He has an incision all the way up to his rib cage and didn't send home any pain medicine or antibiotics for him. We have him in a huge kennel so he isn't out walking around and my daughter hasn't stopped crying since we brought him home because she is so freaked out. We are going to sleep in sleeping bags next to him to make sure he will be okay throughout the night. I ask of you, if you truly love your pet and don't want to see them suffer, NEVER take your pet here. Please pray for him that he makes it through the night tonight!
Rude and unethical office staff

I had several issues related with the office manager and when i tried to contact the owner, i was instead contacted by someone else claiming to be a supervisor who refused to let me speak to the owner. Hardly a friendly place to take your pet.
Caring people
by kfletch , 08/15/2012
Seems strange to read the other reviews. Do be aware they are no appointment vet. It is first come first serve. We have had to wait for an hour but had full attention when it was our turn. They are very busy and the reception is multi tasking greatly but when it is your turn you have full attention. The prices are much better then other places. The care was excellent and attention to detail. We use Value pet as our regular vet. We have dogs and cats.
Do not acknowledge or value returning customers.
by Anonymous , 01/12/2012
Very unhelpful and uncaring over the phone with any concerns.
Worse service around
by Vets for less sucks! , 12/31/2011
Dont use these people, they suck, cant give an estimate and stay anywhere near it. They have no explanation for anything they do. Poor service from the receptionist all the way to the brain dead doctors working there! Do your self a favor and stay away from these scam artists. They are even calling my phone from a blocked number and wont talk when I answer the phone. Real professional huh? Save your sanity and go to a real vet that will care for your animal and not just rip you off!
Terrible Place BEWARE it Could Cost Your Pets LIFE
by woof2000 , 06/28/2011
Never take your pet here. my dog was taken in after he had thrown up once, had loss of appetite, and wouldn't walk. i had called ahead to ask what to do. they said i could bring him in and he would be seen right away. it took over 30 min to be roomed with an empty waiting room. then another 20 min before i was asked if i wanted to be seen on emergency basis. After waiting all that time Vet said no fever ran a test for parvo came back neg. At which time wanted to keep overnight w/IV. Manager then came in and told me if i left my dog would die all alone!!! Then said I should take to critical care but the only difference someone would be there all night and would charge DOUBLE. My dog ultimately ended up dying within an hour and they did nothing to help him but tell me to put him down. they are not equipped to handle anything beside vaccines anything else take your dog somewhere else please. they're very uneducated, ignorant, & rude. because of them ive lost my best friend & baby
Very rude
by Not so touching , 05/29/2010
Was not happy at all. Before taking the temp they did not put plastic over ther thermometer before taking the temp. When cheeking out over heard someone on the phone saying to someone "well who knows we might not be here by then and if its 5 and we dont have anyone here and your walking up yes we will lock the doors because it is 5 and thats when we close" will never take my pet back there after what I heard the women say on the phone and would never tell anyone to take there pet there, My pet visit was on 5-24-2010 VERY rude. And come to find out this is the same office that told my best friends dog that she was fine and nothing was wrong with her.. Yet they next day she took her dog somewhere eles and the dog died 2 hours later of Parvo... You tell me if you wanna take your dog there?

Allegheny County releases final reassessment figures
Although not as welcome as an income tax refund check but as distinctive, the last batch of property reassessment notices for Allegheny County property owners hit some Alle-Kiski Valley mailboxes yesterday.
According to spokeswoman Amie Downs, the county sent out the remainder of the court-ordered reassessment notices to 30 municipalities in the suburbs north and west of Pittsburgh. They include most local ones: Brackenridge, Cheswick, Harrison, Indiana Township, Springdale, Springdale Township, Aspinwall, Blawnox, East Deer, Fawn, Fox Chapel, Harmar, O'Hara, Sharpsburg, Tarentum and West Deer.
This final mailing of notices was stalled by several days when a computer malfunction did not print values on some of the 160,000 notices scheduled for mailing last week.
The state Supreme Court ordered Allegheny County to reassess because high-value properties tended to be underassessed and low-value ones tended to be overassessed. The court said continuing to use values from a 2002 reassessment would be unconstitutional.
But, according to a recent county analysis, property values have increased more dramatically among properties in Allegheny County's less-affluent municipalities compared to wealthier ones in the $11 million reassessment.
County officials have said the reassessment may contain errors, but that overall it meets industry accuracy standards.
Earlier this month, the county presented the first three of 13 town hall meetings to provide information on filing appeals and field questions on the reassessments in McKeesport, Monroeville and Bethel Park.
More meetings will be announced for the remaining Allegheny County Council districts.
New property values were first sent to Pittsburgh and Mt. Oliver homeowners in late December, prompting a court battle that delayed use of the new assessments until 2013.
More than 35,000 property owners are appealing to reduce the court-ordered assessments.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review contributed to this report.Additional Information:
About appeals
Property owners who want to appeal their assessments should call the Office of Property Assessments public information line at 412-350-4600.
Additionally, Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner is looking for property owners who suspect incorrect assessments.
Wagner announced earlier this year that her office is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the county's property-reassessment process.
Property owners whose new assessment numbers differ greatly from similar properties nearby or a recent sales price, or who otherwise believe their new values have been calculated incorrectly, can call Wagner's reassessment hot line at 4-12-350-7618 or email email@example.com .

Some Things That Americans Have Stopped Buying (so much of)
Not a slide show, just a list of 10 things losing luster. Explanations are given and the list includes breakfast cereals, convertibles, and guns:
…Lately, however, gun sales have fallen, sometimes sharply. The big reasons why this is so seem to be that thereãs little in the way of likely gun control for gun enthusiasts to motivate new purchases, and also that everyone who has wanted to buy a gun in the past couple of years has already bought one (or seven). In the first quarter of 2014, the guns-and-ammo-focused Sportsmanãs Warehouse retail chain saw comparable stores sales drop 18%, while gun sales at Cabelaãs fell 22%.
But a little perspective is necessary. While guns sales and background checks are down compared to the past couple of years, they remain far above the levels of the early ã00s. As gun industry experts have put it, the decline probably just represents a ãreturning to normalã for gun salesãwhich arenãt as strong as they once were, but are still very strong nonetheless.
Well, in my case I just don't have the money, though nothing out there really excites me anyway. As for cereal, I still eat my Wheaties every morning.

Not to mention the problem of finding ammo for a long time now. especially calibers that were/are most used - .22, 9mm, .45, .223, .308.
Some of it's back, but ALL of it is a lot more expensive than it was, and of course the value of the dollar has been hammered down by 40-50% over the past 6 years or so.
That means money that would have been spent on guns is going for other neccessities like food and gas and shelter.
And my reloader still can't get powder in the quantities that he needs it in to do his work.

Only one more gun I'm interested in getting, and there is no rush, is a 12Ga. pump shotgun, Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88. I have my AR-15, a Taurus 24/7 Pro LS DS 9mm. pistol, a 1966 Stevens single shot .22 S/L/LR rifle and my 1942 Mosin Nagant. And plenty of reloaded ammo for all but the .22LR. And 75 rounds of 12Ga. Target plus 25rounds of 12Ga 00 buckshot for when I get the shotgun. Finding powder is hit or miss, but I don't need much, a pound or 2 now and then. Bullets by mail order and I reuse my brass. Primers at Bass Pro all the time now. LGS and Academy usually have a few boxes of .22LR, but I don't shoot it much so 200 rounds is all I have.

emdfl hit my reasoning on the head…as for ammo, it's tough to spend money when there isn't anything on the shelf to buy.

Meh. Five minutes after the bell rings on Wall St everyday, there's always some wise-ass pundit to journo'splain why it did what it did. He's never available five minutes *before* however.
FWIW, Coca-Cola restated their stats, and it looks like the earth-shaking millennial trend lasted less than one fiscal quarter. Strongly suspect many of the other sterling examples are just as sound.
Aside from whatever paycheck might be involved, wouldn't you hate to have this guy's job?

The State of Homelessness in King County
Homelessness is a crisis in King County. In 2015 alone, nearly 10,000 people are experiencing homelessness on a given day, and nearly 40 percent are unsheltered. People are homeless on average for more than 100 days, and they return to homelessness after being housed nearly 20 percent of the time. Racial disparities are stark, with Native Americans seven times more likely to experience homelessness than Whites, and African Americans five times more likely.

The new age of Aircraft design to accommodate long legged and the wide bodied. In future you may have to provide your leg and waist measurements when booking a seat and be charged $0.5 per mm of additional leg room or wide room. Genetical Engineers are working on assurances of producing standard people to suit the standards of a standard airplane seat as set by the United Nations.
With their latest bid in Higher Density seat design, Pitch Aircraft Seating Systems (with Q-Design as Consultants) propose to go in the opposite direction cf http://blog.apex.aero/cabin-interior/pictures-airline-seat-short-pitch/ ... Yet to push up the cramming in a [3+3] cabin to 28" pitch throughout confines with a "gore" passenger onboard experience. Wouldn't it be better to apply the PASS/Q-Design new invention to H2XQR Series : 28" pitch [1+3+1] offers interesting trade-ins between leg-room vs extra shoulder room, more aisle-seat freedom, additional carry-on, twin aisle, easy come/easy go etc; the 'extra legroom' offer of American can still apply in the upfront HQR cabin, as a "Premium Economy" product differentiation ?
No BRAINER. That configuration allows AMERICAN AIRLINES to reduce the number of flight attendants onboard, down to three for 150 passengers. Reduces costs and allows the company to gain more FEES for only INCHES. And it appeases those freq flyers who couldnt get into First/Business class. Winner, all around, except, labor.
I heard DOUG PARKER was asked about this issue by one of his employees. His answer, "Nahhh, we dont want to remove seats and reduce our capacity onboard, we get revenue from CHOICE SEATS to off set that decision".
But remember, they did it in 2000, then undid it in 2004, then redid the first class seats-three times, are adding more video and wifi capabilities, and now again in 2012......these brilliant management decisions cost millions per plane, every time. Oh, and in 2003 the flight attendants and others signed a contract worth 1.8 billion in cuts and nary a raise since......but it's all labor's fault we go to chapter 11....
well said, jgmeow.
On some level AA had to do this with both Delta and United offering their elites a product like this. But as United has shown, there is ample opportunity to monetize this section of coach, so I don't doubt that AA will be able to turn positive revenue from this while also making its elites happy.
jgmeow: your comparison to AA's More Room Throughout Coach is not accurate. MRTC was the entire airplane, not just the first several rows. That's a very different paradigm.
It's nice that airlines want to give passengers more leg room while continuing to screw large passengers where seating is concerned. It's high time they got more innovative and added extra-wide seats so large passengers wouldn't need to by an extra seat to fly in comfort. Another remedy for this situation is for airlines to work with private air charter companies in order to transport passengers bumped from over-booked flights or special needs passengers such as customers of size provided the charter aircraft can transport such passengers. For passengers like myself flying on airlines has become an expensive and very unpleasant ordeal! Sure increase leg room and seat recline but how about increasing seat width as well. I'll gladly pay a few hundred bucks more for a wider seat or stand by for a flight on a private jet in order to put the "Fun" back in to flying.

What to Consider When Picking a PlanKiplinger.com
If you have a choice of health plans, the one you select depends on what is most important to you. For a lot of people, cost is top on the list of things that matter when picking a plan. But you shouldn't just consider cost when selecting a plan. It also is important to consider your health needs and the quality of care you'll get with a plan.Keep costs under control
With health insurance premiums on the rise, there's a good reason many Americans are concerned about the cost of their coverage. So when you're selecting a plan, be sure to ask these questions so you'll have a better idea how much you'll actually have to pay for health care:
- Are there deductibles to meet before the plan starts covering costs?
- Once the deductible is met, what percentage of costs will the plan pay?
- Are there co-payments?
- What is the cost of seeing a doctor outside the plan?
- Is there a lifetime limit on what the plan will pay?
If you're single and in good health, you can save money by opting for a low-cost, high-deductible plan that provides coverage primarily for major procedures. If you have small children, you might want to pay a little more for a plan with low or no co-payments so you won't have to shell out cash for the frequent visits to the doctor. If you or a family member have a chronic disease that requires expensive treatments, it's important to find a plan that covers a large percentage of costs and that has a high lifetime limit on payouts so you won't have to foot big bills.Consider your health needs
For many people, especially those with a chronic illness, it's important to select a health plan that includes their current doctors in its network of providers to ensure continuity of care. Many people prefer to stick with their current provider if they are switching plans -- even if that means choosing a plan that might be a little more expensive. If your providers aren't in the networks available to you but you don't want to switch doctors, look for a plan (usually a PPO) that doesn't place a lot of restrictions on seeing doctors outside the network.
Furthermore, you're better off choosing plan that includes multi-specialty groups -- that is, a medical center with primary care physicians, specialists, surgeons and a laboratory all under one roof -- among its providers. You'll get better continuity of care -- especially if you have a chronic condition -- than if you go to different providers all over town.Size up the quality of care
Unfortunately, there is no single consumer report on the quality of health care providers. But that shouldn't stop you from checking into the quality of care provided by health plans and the doctors, clinics and hospitals that are part of their networks of providers.
Check with state and federal regulators. In every state, health insurance is regulated by insurance commissions (Find your state's insurance regulator.) However, some states (Florida, to name one) are more organized about providing information to the public. There also are national organizations that accredit health plans, such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which accredits more than 16,000 healthcare organizations. Others include the National Committee for Quality Assurance, which accredits HMOs and other managed care organizations, and the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission, which accredits PPOs.
Check with the plan. Ask the plans if they survey members about health care experiences and whether they review qualifications of doctors. Find out whether physicians tend to stay in the plan, and ask the plan for biographies listing doctors' specialties and credentials. Most doctors with active practices are certified in their specialties by national boards. Check out the plan's reputation. Ask the plan for the names of members who can tell you how it rates with them. Be wary of any that refuse. Also ask for financial statements, which are an indicator of the organization's fiscal health.

Lufthansa feels impact of strikeComment on this story
Berlin - Europe's biggest flag-carrier Lufthansa told reporters it would cancel two-thirds of its 1 800 scheduled flights for Friday after a cabin crew union called for a 24-hour strike.
A Lufthansa spokesperson said on Wednesday that no peace offer would be made to the union, Ufo, which is demanding a five-per-cent pay hike and the abandonment of plans to set up a low-pay subsidiary to take over scheduled flights. The airline refuses to discuss the outsourcing issue.
Lufthansa said it hoped to offer a third of its scheduled flights, which included those offered by partner airlines, which are not to be affected by the strike. It also hoped to offer its long-distance flights.
The union, Ufo, which says more than half of 19 400 attendants at Lufthansa are signed-up members, has called for cabin crews to stop work on Friday for 24 hours. The airline said 80 percent of crews refused to work during two previous strikes.
The airline is to publish information on the cancelled flights on its website.
In the union's two strikes so far - the first was on Friday - more than 500 flights were cancelled. Many passengers, especially travellers arriving in Germany in transit with no advance warning of the strike, were furious.
In the second-round strike on Tuesday, 43 000 passengers suffered massive delays as they waited for seats on substitute connections, among them nearly 400 people who slept the night on camp-beds set up in a terminal by Munich airport authorities.
An airline spokesperson said Lufthansa had already placed a negotiable offer on the table and it was up to Ufo to resume negotiations.
Ufo leader Nicoley Baublies said Lufthansa chief Peter Gerber should explain his plans directly to the union, which was willing to listen to anything which would make the strike unnecessary.
He said Ufo had not yet planned any strikes beyond Friday, preferring to give Lufthansa time to reconsider its stance. - Sapa-dpa

It was the mid night and every one was having sweet dream in this castle including the great king and his 30 queens and more than 50 princesses but not one person. Lady Gray that was her name, she was in early 80's very angry nature and the oldest in the castle. She was the mother of the king. Officially Aura the eldest wife of the king was the Queen of this country but internally all the orders were used to given by Lady Gray.
Lady gray was in her room having a dream in which she was seeing herself in a big room where no furniture and big beds were. She was standing in a corner and a little 16-17 year old girl was lying on her back on the cold floor, then from the dark in the other corner of the room a naked man with a huge cock showed up. His face was covered with a black cloth and his cock was rock hard like a steel sword.
He came to the little girl who was wearing nothing more than a beautiful golden and sparkling diamond crown of a princess. The man sat on his knees and shoved his huge cock in that girl's love hole. The girl was crying and trying to get off from this man but the man kept pushing and fucking her pussy like he was ordered by some one to do that with no mercy. Soon everything was done and the man got off from the girl leaving her crying and half fainted.
He stood near the girl with his limb cock and blood dripping from it, the girl was still on the floor and her pussy was covered in blood and white cum. Lady gray was seeing everything in her dream then a flash of light appears and everything goes dark. Lady gray woke up with a not so loud scream and she looked around her room. She took a deep breathe and had some water but everything from that dream was still flashing in front of her eyes.
Lady gray was a very superstitious woman who believed in spirits and those kind of things and powers and curse.
Next morning when she was having breakfast with all the 30 queens on one table in this big room and all other princesses were enjoying their food in other room, all the queens were wearing silky gown of bright colors and showing maximum cleavage, their hair were tied in a bun and huge jewelry was highlighting their beauty, each queen seems much beautiful, hot and gorgeous than others. Each queen had big firm pair of boobs and big ass except some who were much younger than other queens.
There were four lucky men in that big hall for security who were watching these fucking hot queens and there not so bad slaves serving them food. Lady Gray stood up and told each queen about her last night's dream. She explained everything and told that it's a way to end the curse on this castle. And the curse was that when ever a woman would get pregnant by the king of this country, the woman will always give birth to a girl. And no one knows who gave this curse and why?
The king himself wasn't the true loyal blood, he was born when Lady Gray had sex with a slave of the castle and she lived outside the castle till the king born. Right after the birth of the king the husband of Lady Gray died, and from then to now, every queen related to this castle and the king, was giving birth to a girl not a single boy.
Lady Gray had ordered after the breakfast that from now when ever a princess turned 17 she had to get fucked by a slave with a huge cock like she had seen in her dream, because according to Lady Gray it was the only way to end this curse and this way was shown by the supernatural power and spirits.
Each Queen tried to avoid this as they can't see their little girls getting fucked by huge men, but they couldn't change Lady Gray's mind and later they asked Aura to talk to Lady Gray. Aura talked to Lady Gray in her room but Lady Gray didn't listen a word and stood by on her order. Aura came back to other queens with a sad and disappointing face.
Now she couldn't do anything as the king was also not here, he was 1000s of miles away fighting to take over the other countries. All the queens were talking to each other and every one was giving suggestions when one of the princess entered in the room and seeing the princess in the room all the queens had to shut their mouth, they all stared at this little 16 year old princes, who was as beautiful as like the queens and wearing a red frock showing a little glimpse of cleavage.
The princess looked at all the queens and seeing the situation that wasn't seemed good, she left. Every body looked at each other and kept quite. Now some queens were in groups talking about this whole situation and some were just in their room thinking same, but when ever they saw a man who was always there outside their room for security they think about their huge dicks and their daughters.
At the night some of the queens just slept alone and trying dream about their king while some called their slaves who were appointed to please the queens in absence of king, these men were appointed by Lady Gray and without the knowledge of king.

Gerard's P.O.V
My parents were calling to wake me up, apparently we had to go out somewhere soon. As a family. It's not that I hate my family; I just hate outside and the people there. New Jersey isn't the nicest place to grow up in and it certainly isn't the safest. Me and my younger brother Mikey have never been able to simply 'go out and play' as we've frequently been reminded of the dangers lurking out there. My parents were nice people and me and my brother were like best friends however we were never the most normal family. I was going to stay safe for them.
Untangling my body from the bedsheets, I managed to stumble out of bed and pull some clothes with me to the bathroom; taking a brief shower before slipping them on. My wet locks of jet black hair hung limply either side of my head, dripping as I ran my long and artistic fingers through it in the mirror to try and rid it off the large knots. My skin colour just proved how little sunlight I saw; it was a milky pale but not in a way that made me appear unhealthy, maybe because my hair was so dark it might have looked lighter but it wasn't really something I thought about. Carefully, I smeared a thick ring of black eyeliner around my hazel eyes that I loved to do on a morning; maybe another reason why I wasn't exactly the popular kid at school.
By the time I finally made it to the family room, they were ready to go and ushering me out whilst grumbling about how long I took on a morning. None of us were really morning people. The atmosphere in the car however was a lot better, my dad driving and chatting to my mom whilst Mikey had his head stuck in a comic. We both shared the love of them and it was a topic we were very enthusiastic about, in fact I was drawing my own and resting the sketchpad on my black-jean clad knees. Hunching over a little more, I blocked everything else from my view and became absorbed in drawing my comic as perfectly as I could, I wasn't the best drawer but the determination to be a comic artist when I grow up caused me to constantly practice.
A scream from my mom broke my trail of thought, my head suddenly shooting up with alarm. There wasn't time for anything to register in my mind though, everything was a blur. Smashing. Alarms. Darkness.
Everything seemed to pass quickly. There was the drone of voices, sirens, the feeling of being lifted and carried. Rushing, urgency, people shouting. In and out of consciousness. All of it felt like an out of body experience. The grumble of an engine and that small vibration of a vehicle. Words started to become clearer 'bleeding' 'immediate' 'operation' 'lost' 'hospital'. Then darkness engulfed me yet again.
The next time I woke up was different, I felt sluggish and drowsy. The rhythmic beeping of a machine and the oxygen being forced down my throat via what felt like a tube worried me. It took effort to open my eyes fully but my fears were confirmed when I did; I was in a hospital. I'd never felt so bad before, not only was there an IV in my arm and not only was my body hooked up to machines to monitor me but my chest felt so sore and achingly painful. Each breath I took was labored and forced by the oxygen tube; the scratchy and awful feeling of something plastic winding down my neck and into my chest was sadly not the largest of my worries. It took time for me to soak in my state before my mind searched for what had caused me to be like this. The thing was, I couldn't remember.

An 18-year-old East Hanover Township man died as the result of a two-vehicle crash on Route 22 just east of Harpers Saturday evening.
State police at Lickdale said Peter E. Haldeman was operating a motorcycle eastbound on Route 22 in the left lane just west of Reeds Creek Road around 5:56 p.m. Saturday when he struck the driver's side of a truck and hay trailer, driven by Lawanda Hostetter, 37, whose address is listed as Annville. Police said Hostetter was driving across the highway from a farm path after harvesting hay in a field north of the highway. She was driving her vehicle from north to south across Route 22 west and began to travel across the highway's eastbound lanes when the accident happened, police said.
After hitting Hostetter's vehicle, Haldeman's motorcycle left the highway and traveled southeast along a farm lane on the south side of Route 22 east, according to police. Haldeman was thrown from his motorcycle and came to rest in a grassy area south of the highway.
Hostetter then drove her vehicle from the point of impact on Route 22, off the roadway onto the farm path behind Haldeman and his motorcycle, police said.
Haldeman, a 2013 graduate of Northern Lebanon High School, was transported from the scene by First Aid and Safety Patrol to Hershey Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, according to police.
Police said Haldeman was wearing a helmet.
Hostetter was not hurt, police said.
Jonestown's Perseverance, Ono, Union Water Works, Cleona and Indiantown Gap fire companies assisted at the scene.
Police said their investigation into the accident is continuing.
According to Daily News records, Haldeman was the 10th person to die as a result of accidents on Lebanon County roads this year.

After a bit of snooping around, I discover that my anti-virus keeps locking it in quarantine. Showing that it is infected with this little bugger: Win32:Malware-gen. None of the other trainers I use have been quarantined, so I'm reasonably comfortable with using trainers from here.
Now before I pull this thing out of quarantine and continue its use, is this a false positive?
I finally get DA2 and come to get the trainer (1.3.6124.0). Now everything goes fine for about a week, then the trainer just disappears from my computer. No big deal, I just extract the archive again. So, I'm watching the extraction and the trainer .exe is un-archived into the proper folder then it just deletes itself. Ok, maybe my download is borked. I get a fresh DL of the trainer, watch the extraction and yet AGAIN the .exe just deletes itself almost immediately after extraction.
yes it is a false positive. no CH trainer has a virus in it. None. pls add the trainer .exe to anti-virus Exclusions List if u haven't already.

Apple iPad Air on sale online in US, hits retail in UK, Europe
updated 05:13 am EDT, Fri November 1, 2013
iPad Air availability spreads to more countries
Following earlier launches in Australia and Asia, the Apple iPad Air has gone on sale in the UK and Europe, as well in the US online store, as it moves to launch in 42 countries by the end of today. The new tablet has been released in Apple retail stores across Europe, some of which have opened earlier than normal in order to sell the iPad Air to waiting customers.
Presently, the Apple website shows all variants of the iPad Air as dispatching within 24 hours, for both Wi-Fi and cellular models. In the US online store, all versions of the tablet are listed as "available to ship" with an expected delivery date of November the 4th. US retail stores will be offering the tablet when they open later today, though Apple has allowed some stores to retain a number of the iPads for "Personal Pickup" due to expected low stocks.
The iPad mini with Retina display also makes an appearance in the online stores, though listed as "Coming later in November" and as "Currently unavailable."

text: Yesterday, Feb 28, our U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, voted against the women of his district. He was one of a majority of House Republicans to vote against the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, even though a vast majority of Americans, and a majority of his own constituents support this bill. His opposition to a couple of minor issues was more important than the general safety of women which this act has provided since 1994. I hope voters realize this is what we get from "tea party" representatives. I hope they remember this vote when Mr. Perry stands for re-election in November 2014.

If you're looking for crafts to make and wear for any occasions, consider creating your own Steampunk Barrette from Candace Jedrowicz. This project shows that you can create a DIY hair accessory that's both fun to wear and completely unlike anything else in stores.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Hot glue
- Paint brush
- Brown paper bag
- Barrette back
- Candle
- Needle nose pliers
- 1-3/4″ round punch
- 1-1/8″ round punch
- 1/8″ hole punch
- 1/4″ hole punch
- Lighter
- Water
- Paper towel or moist wipe
- Metallic paste – I used Rub N-Buff gold
- Small washers, nuts and embellishments
Cut the paper bag into four 8″ x 8″ squares and glue together. Allow to dry.
Punch 1 circle using the 1-3/4″ punch and 1 using the 1-1/8″ punch.
Punch a 1/8″ hole in the center of the smaller circle and a 1/4″ hole in the center of the larger circle.
Use the 1/8″ punch to cut semi circles around the edge of the smaller circle. Keep the punch half off the paper edge to create a gear look.
Repeat using the 1/4″ punch make make the larger gear. I had a large circle gear cut that didn't work out so I punched a smaller circle from it and the remaining piece looked very cool, so I added it to the assemblage.
Cut the rest of the paper into different shapes and play with them to get the look you want.
Glue all the pieces together and apply a generous even coat of glue to the whole front of the assemblage.
While the glue is still wet, hold the wet glue side over your lit candle, burning the glue until it's dry. Expect sizzling and bubbles. The glue is dry when it's no longer shiny. Work on a hard, non flammable surface and keep your water handy. If the piece catches fire and you can't blow it out, set it down and spray with water.
Repeat on the back of the assemblage. Allow to cool.
Use a paper towel or moist wipe to gently remove the soot.
Gently bend the piece to match the curve of the barrette back and glue in place using both the hot glue and Tacky glue. Hold in place until the hot glue cools.
Glue your embellishments and accents where you want them.
- With a small amount of Rub-N-Buff on your finger and lightly rub over the surface until you get the look you want.
