Sentiment: Strong Sell
When will this stop? :(
It's a combination of things. But it is insane, of course with HF algo traders there is no sense of sane or insane--just reactions to the previous trade.
Here's how totally nuts the pm market is:
Friday and Monday the Comex saw almost one million futures contracts traded, which represents about 100 million ounces, or 3,000 tons. Contrast that with the puny 10 tons (about $400 million worth) of gold that Cyprus is supposedly going to sell, which was reputedly responsible for starting the selloff. Three thousand tons of gold is about 10% more than an entire year's mine supply and the sum total of just about all of what Europe owns. In other words, that was a massive amount of volume, and a gargantuan break.
you are looking good then with your strong sell. I do not wish you well but we might see 16 in th next month or so... but I think 80+ in 5 years

how can I retrieve the date and time from a NSDate. I want to see them separately. thanks
There are many many different ways to represent the date and time so check NSDateFormatter for more info.
i would go with using NSDateComponents and NSCalendar if you really want to have the values for the minute, hour and the date ... Something like this:
then you can use the properties of the components to access the value of each components with component.hour, component.year, etc.
Also please note that if you are going with the NSDateFormatter example - then you should remember that NSDateFormatter is a heavy object and you should really reuse it if possible ...
I'd use the following over the other answers:
The advantage it has is that it will set the formatting to what the user has set in their system settings. That way you don't have to worry about items like if the user prefers their short dates in the format 10/31/11 or 31/10/11. See the documentation for a list of styles that are available.
In Swift you can enjoy yourself with extension, for instance:
And then, anywhere in your code you can do:

|Public Education Rights of Undocumented Immigrants
Last updated: February 2012
All children in the United States have a right to a public education and schools must provide the same benefits and services to everyone. This includes children who do not have documentation to be in the United States and the children of parents who do not have documentation.
No. The law guarantees immigrants and non-English speaking students a free public education from kindergarten through 12th grade up until the age of 21.
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that undocumented children have the same right as U.S. citizens and permanent residents to receive a free public education.
Also, schools cannot require anything that might prevent children from attending school. This means that schools and school districts cannot require parents or adult guardians to provide information about their own or their child's immigration status, or information that indicates immigration status.
No. Requiring a Social Security number prevents undocumented students from attending school, and that is against the law.
It is also against the rules for schools to require a Social Security number for services or benefits provided by the school.
If the school needs a number for identification or administrative purposes, the school should create a school number that has nothing to do with a person's Social Security number.
Yes. When determining eligibility for free or reduced lunch and/or breakfast programs under the School Lunch Act, schools cannot reject students because they do not have a Social Security number or because of their immigration status. When applying for the program, parents should state on the application that they do not have a Social Security number. The information you provide to the school will only be used to get funding for the free lunch/breakfast program.
Yes. Schools must help students overcome language barriers. If your child needs help learning English, you should ask the school for help.
Yes. Schools must provide undocumented immigrant students the same benefits and services made available to other students. Special Education classes are a service provided by the school and therefore, that service must be made available to every student regardless of immigration status.
Any parent or guardian can ask for their child's school for information or their student records. Your immigration status or the immigration status of your child does not matter
No. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) forbids schools from turning over a student's file to federal immigration agents.
The school can turn the file over if a parent consents or if the information does not contain the student's immigration status.
School officials are non-reporters. They do not have an obligation to report illegal immigrants to federal agents.
If you live within the school district and are the parent or adult with whom the child regularly lives, then the school district is required by law to provide your child with an education.
You will have to prove your identity and the child's identity, that you live within the district, and that the child has had proper medical care.
School districts are required by law to ask for a certified copy of a birth certificate of every newly enrolled child. If a birth certificate is unavailable, then other proof of the child's identity and age is required. You will also have to make a sworn statement explaining why the birth certificate cannot be produced.
If you do not have a driver's license or state identification card, there are other ways to prove your residency. You just need to show that you live within the district's boundaries.
Some examples of alternate identification include:

Please pray for Father Bill as he begins his new ministry at the Church of St. Peter in Liberty, NY.
Parish Closure
After 140 years of continuous faith practice and service to our community, the Church of St. Mary has ceased regular operations.
Father William Scafidi presided over an emotional final Mass on Friday July 31 at 6 p.m. Concelebrants included more than a dozen priests and deacons from our area. Hundreds of St. Mary parishioners, family, and friends attended the Mass, which filled the church to capacity. Afterward, Father Bill stood in the center aisle of the church and greeted everyone who wished to speak with him, one last time as Pastor of the Church of St. Mary.
Father Bill oversaw a transformative rebirth of this parish. Even though the church is now closed, and Father Bill reassigned, his spirit will live in each of us, as we were all directly affected by his presence. We extend to Father Bill our love, and every good wish as he begins his tenure as Pastor of the Church of St. Peter in Liberty, NY.
The Church of St. Mary has become part of a new merged parish, with the Church of St. Patrick in Newburgh. Regular Masses and sacraments will no longer be available at the Church of St. Mary. The Archdiocese has stated that our church will be available for special occasions, but this has not yet been defined.
The merged St. Patrick - St. Mary parish began operation Saturday August 1, 2015. Please contact the St. Patrick - St. Mary rectory for more information about regular services, and what special occasions may be held at the former Church of St. Mary. Note that sacramental records are now stored at the former St. Patrick's Church Rectory. Click here to access the new Church of St. Patrick - St. Mary web site, with Mass times, announcements and contact info.
This web site will continue to operate, in its current form for now, and soon with images and history about our beloved Church of St. Mary.
Thank you for your many years of support. May God bless each of you, and may God always protect and bless the Church of St. Mary.

Question from ladyvash30
Where can I find the first Star Coin in 4-4?
I found the last 2 coins in that level but I just need to find the first coin in World 4 Stage 4
6 years ago
You have to click the P switch and go UP one of the golden pipes. Im pretty sure the purple coins leads you to it.
6 years ago
Go up the Yellow Ceiling Pipe almost immediately after the P-Switch on the ceiling. You'll have to dodge a ton of Bloopers here to get to it.
One of the ?-Blocks in the new area has a Penguin Suit. Use its Ice Ball Power to freeze the Cheep Cheep when it is under the coin and use it as a platform to jump for the Star Coin.

History Of Invisible Fence
The product we have come to know as an Invisible Fence® was invented in suburban Philadelphia in 1973. A traveling salesman named Richard Peck saw an opportunity to help keep dogs out of roads and other trouble. In his travels, Mr. Peck saw many dogs that we injured or unfortunately killed running out into the streets.
An avid dog lover who also enjoyed tinkering with electronics, Mr. Peck spent many hours working with an electronic engineer experimenting with different components. After many tries, they came up with a winning idea. That idea was the first patented Invisible Fence®.
The concept consisted of three parts: a base unit or transmitter box mounted indoors, a receiver collar for the dog to wear, and a wire placed around the perimeter of the homeowner's property. The transmitter box generated a coded signal. That coded signal was transmitted through the wire that was buried in the ground; The receiver collar was worn on the dog's neck. The collar would deliver an electric stimulus to the dog if he attempted to cross the boundary wire.
Mr. Peck was concerned about the short and long term effects of delivering this stimulus to animals. He partnered with the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine to research the short and long term effects on a dog using this type of fence. The study showed that there were no negative health concerns (both short and long term) for a dog using the Invisible Fence®.
The late 1970's gave birth to the phenomenon known as suburban sprawl.These new planned communities often had deed restrictions on physical fencing and dog pens. The restrictions made these communities the perfect market for electric dog fences. The dog fences gave the opportunity to homeowners to have a dog, give him access to the yard and follow the rules of their community.
The first dog fences were sold by mail order and catalogs. Sales were slow in the beginning. Invisible Fence® enjoyed coverage in two respected magazines, Dogs and Dog Fancy. Mr. Peck retired and sold his company in the 1980's. A group of Philadelphia based investors purchased the rights and the modern Invisible Fence® was born.
Today's consumers have many choices in electric pet containment. They can choose a professionally installed system such as Invisible Fence Brand®, Pet Stop®, or Dogwatch®. Dog owners can also save a significant sum of money by opting for a do-it-yourself system . All of these choices are the result of a traveling salesman who saw the opportunity to improve the quality of a dog's life. See more reasons to take the DIY approach here!
Comment / Questions about History of Invisible Fence
Visitor: I have an Invisible Fence Brand Transmitter and I need to get it up and running, what is the best way to go about this?
Bill1:42 PM Hello, it really depends on a lot of different factors, does it appear to be currently functional Do you have collars for it?
Visitor 206554661:43 PM I don't have collars, and it look like the 12V adapter is missing. But it appears to be in good condition, and the wire is intact.
Bill1:43 PM You would probably be better off just buying a complete system
Bill1:44 PM The invisible fence brand collars run about 300 dollars Each
Visitor 206554661:44 PM Wow That's pretty expensive Bill1:45 PM Yes that's invisible fence brand
Visitor 206554661:45 PM I remember at our other house we had a Pet Safe system for like $139. But the dog took forever to learn it.
Visitor 206554661:46 PM I'd like a more advanced one. With the "one way" shock. Bill1:46 PM Yes just Invisible Fence brand is that expensive
Bill1:47 PM Our collars aren't anywhere near that much The wire is universal so you could use the existing wire, as long as it is intact
Visitor 206554661:48 PM In-Ground Dog Fence Kits Without Wire | Shop Now, Fast Shipping Bill1:48 PM So any of these kits would work for you, what kind of dog is it?
Visitor 206554661:49 PM They're mixes. Lab/Dachshund and Lab/Catahoula/something
Bill1:50 PM https://www.flexpetz.com/perimeter-technologies-deluxe-ultra-without-wire.html Perimeter Technologies | Deluxe Ultra Dog Fence without Wire
Bill1:50 PM I would recommend that system that is the best quality in my opinion If you have two dogs you would want to add an extra collar on that product page
Bill1:51 PM 79 dollars for an extra collar That's the same system i have for my two dogs
Visitor 206554661:51 PM Looks pretty good.
Bill1:52 PM Yes really good system, also Invisible Fence brand locks you up with proprietary batteries and really pricey service calls that system you would pretty much disconnect the invisible fence transmitter and plug in the new one, fit the collars to the dogs neck and train them on the system
Bill1:53 PM Training is pretty easy, just a matter of keeping the dogs on the leash for about a week and showing them the boundaries
Visitor 206554661:53 PM OK. What's the best way to figure out where the dog fence in ground wire is? I'm not sure of the boundaries.
Bill1:54 PM Once you hook up the new system you would just walk the line and listen to the collar beep and mark the boundaries with the flags, so that the dogs would have a good visual boundary And then the flags stay up for about a month or so You remove them gradually
Visitor 206554661:54 PM Ah. OK. Is there a way to figure it out before I buy a new system?
Bill1:54 PM To find the boundaries you would need the collars, and a working transmitter to send signal through the line Than just walk the perimeter line Bill1:55 PM Collar will beep when it gets close to the line
Visitor 206554661:56 PM Sure. I guess the risk for me is buying the system, and finding out the boundaries are not what i expected.
Bill1:56 PM Yeah you could buy a wire break detector and locate the wire if you wanted
Bill1:57 PM https://www.flexpetz.com/petsafe-wire-break-locator-rfa-50.html That's pretty much the only two ways to locate the wire, or third option have invisible fence come out, they will charge you 85 to 150 dollars for a service call
Visitor 206554661:58 PM OK.
Visitor 206554662:02 PM Thanks. Out of curiosity, what about a wireless option? Good idea?
Bill2:04 PM No the wireless systems are terrible in my opinion They are very restrictive and only operate in a circle, so impossible to customize
Visitor 206554662:05 PM OK. My yard is like a triangle. That would not work.
Bill2:05 PM They are also not near as precise and the collars are huge
Visitor 206554662:06 PM That sounds less than ideal.
Bill2:06 PM That's true
Visitor 206554662:07 PM One last question, does your system do the one way correction?
Bill2:08 PM You mean like the Yardmax mode? Or the boundaries plus that Invisible Fence Brand offers?
Visitor 206554662:08 PM If the dog goes out, he gets the correction, but not if he comes back in.
Bill2:09 PM Ah we have a different system that does that, let me grab you the link https://www.flexpetz.com/petsafe-yard-max-without-wire.html PetSafe | YardMax DIY Dog Fence System without Wire
Bill2:10 PM So this is the retail version of the same system that Invisible Fence sells for about 1200 dollars Actually Invisible Fence and PetSafe are the same company, they use the Brand to sell a more expensive item Both do the exact same thing but the yardmax uses a rechargeable collar as opposed to a collar battery that costs you 25 dollars per battery each
Bill2:11 PM I like the perimeter fence system myself unless you have a very small yard, because it's made in the U.S.A. and I generally find the quality much better, less features less things that can go wrong with it basically, both systems are excellent.

Well I just finish my first one..wow...easy peasy and I am not artsy fartsy. I did this one for my son and I am doing one for my daughter tonight or tomorrow!
both sides...
wow....looks great
I've never heard of these before....what do they look like at the start? How much work goes into them?
FLORIDA VIDEOS HERE.... https://www.youtube.com/user/isafari...?feature=watch
I made that one in about 2 hours..
It starts out with Fleece Material...here are the instructions
Im pretty sure you can make them as small or as large as you want.
Instruction #7 is kinda weird they way the put it...but to be honest what you do in cut 4 or 5 inch squares in each corner
Ooooooooh! Nice work, PA!
There's something special about receiving a cozy throw made by your mother. I still have an afghan my mother crocheted for me as a high school graduation gift! It's a bit like having a special hug when you're missing her!
Thats why it took me 2 hours instead of 1...dear god I am seriously OCD about some stuff..the panel ones (like the one I have pictured here) you reall have to watch where you are cutting (if you are doing 2 panel blankets, usually people put a solid color on the backs)to make sure you arent cutting past the border..Ill try and get my daughters done tonight and take pics to show you one without borders! Hers is going to be GORGOROUS!! I may do these for christmas next year for my family!Originally Posted by Shellyamc, post: 103931
cool! Not ever seen those before.
I finished my daughters last night! I also wrapped an older throw pillow with the left over material with the same tie technique! Geesh! Wow..Im so proud of myself!
Here is my daughters with the pillow!
I think the reason I just got so into these is because 1. its not perfect and 2. I can get it done in 1 night!
Once the cutting is done and I tie off the corners I can sit on the couch and finish tying the sides!

AUSTIN — Primary races in the all-Republican Texas Supreme Court seldom get much attention, partly because the incumbents often get a pass or draw no more than one challenger.
For instance, in the last two primaries, one justice ran unopposed and two others drew one challenger each. And in 2008, all three incumbents up for re-election ran unopposed.
This year is no different. Of the four justices on the March 4 ballot, three drew one challenger each, including Phil Johnson of Lubbock in Place 8. The fourth is running unopposed.
Though three of the nine justices are normally on the ballot every two years running for six-year terms, there are four now because Chief Justice Nathan Hecht — whom Gov. Rick Perry elevated to the position last year after Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson resigned — is running again.
Hecht — who was first elected in 1988 and is the longest-
serving member of the court in Texas history — was re-elected as a justice two years ago.
Another reason Texas Supreme Court and other judicial races seldom get much attention is because — unlike non-judicial statewide contests — the incumbents, challengers and candidates for open seats usually run low-key campaigns.
In addition to Hecht and Johnson, the other two justices running for re-election are Jeff Brown of Place 6 and Jeff Boyd of Place 7. Boyd is the only one running unopposed in the GOP primary.
Johnson, whom Perry appointed to the high court in 2005, said he is seeking his second six-year term because "given my experience and background, I have a lot to offer."
"My experience as a private attorney, my years in the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo and my more than eight years in the Texas Supreme Court are real assets," Johnson said.
Before Perry appointed him to the high court, Johnson was chief justice of the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo. In addition, from 1975 through 1998, he practiced law with the Lubbock firm of Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam LLP, where one of his colleague was Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock.
"I am still in that mode, to serve the people of Texas," said Johnson, who received his undergraduate and law degrees from Texas Tech University.
None of the other justices could be reached for comment.
On their websites, the incumbents, as well as their challengers, give their reasons for running.
Hecht said on his Facebook page he looks forward "to continuing to serve" and "promoting a consistent, predictable judiciary for years to come."
Brown, who Perry appointed in September when he appointed Hecht chief justice, said on his website he is a "strong candidate for (the) state's highest court" and posted a long list of qualifications that included justice in the 14th Court of Appeals, judge in the 55th District Court and private practice.
The three Republicans challenging Hecht, Brown and Johnson said they are just as qualified.
Former state Rep. Robert Talton, who is trying to unseat Hecht, described himself as a "conservative who does not believe in judicial activism."
"Judges should interpret the law — not legislate," Talton, who represented Pasadena-based House District 144 for 16 years, said on his campaign's website.
"The law should be applied fairly and equally to all parties," his website reads.
"And I believe that our system of trial by jury — overseen by a fair, impartial and independent judiciary — protects our rights as citizens and ensures that justice is done."
Joe Pool Jr., who is challenging Brown, said he is running because he values the constitutional rights of all Texans and wants to restore them.
"Since 2000, 74 percent of all jury verdicts reviewed by the Texas Supreme Court have been overturned," Pool said in a video posted on his campaign's website.
"The proper role of the judiciary is to uphold our rights, not deny them."
Sharon McCally, who is challenging Johnson, is running because "a vote cast for me is a vote cast for Republican principles," she said in a video.
"My vote is not for sale," McCally said. "There is a lot of money changing hands at the Texas Supreme Court, a lot of influence attempts, but it will have no impact on me."
Johnson said that though he has not watched McCally's video, he takes exception with her remarks, which a reporter read to him.
"You can make whatever allegations you want, but where is the proof?" Johnson said. "In my view, allegations of corruption in this court are simply false."
The winner of the
Johnson-McCally contest is virtually guaranteed the Supreme Court seat for the next six years because no Democrat is running.
The Democrats running for the three other seats — William Moody of El Paso, Lawrence Edward Meyers of Forth Worth and Gina Benavides of McAllen — are running unopposed in their party's primary.

Straddling north and south Florida, Orlando is the gateway for many visitors, primarily because it's close to all things Disney. It's also about two hours east of Tampa (home to yet another theme park, Busch Gardens) and an hour southwest of Kennedy Space Center. Edging Orlando to the south is Kissimmee, with home-grown attractions like Gatorland. The pace slows considerably 20 miles northeast of Orlando in the charming Winter Park suburb.

June 21, 2006
DeKALB, IL - Winning is often a very attractive asset when it comes to locating top-level recruits across the nation.
The Northern Illinois University men's basketball squad is reaping the benefits of its first-ever Mid-American Conference West Division title in 2006, with the signing of Egan Grafel (Oberlin, KS / Decatur Community / Cloud County CC) to a National Letter of Intent and the addition of Jarvis Nichols (Carol Stream / Glenbard North / Pratt CC) for the 2006-07 campaign.
"Egan is a good athlete who throughout the course of his junior college career has greatly improved and will continue to do that for us at NIU," NIU Head Coach Rob Judson said. "He's another versatile player and we're looking forward to adding more athleticism to our front line.
"Egan was slowed by injury this year, yet persevered through that to greatly help his team."
Judson was equally excited about the arrival of Nichols to the squad.
"Jarvis is an explosive basketball player whose athleticism allows him to play a number of perimeter positions," Judson said.
Grafel and Nichols join Darrius Gaters (Chicago / Marshall), Bristan Kelley (Lee's Summit, MO), Mike Lochner (Maple Grove, MN), Shaun Logan (Eldridge, IA / North Scott / Kirkwood CC) and Cody Yelder (Oak Lawn / Richards) as the newest members of the Huskies.
Grafel, a 6-foot-8, 225 pound forward out of Cloud County Community College in Concordia, KS, comes from a squad where eight players chipped in at least 4.1 points per contest en route to a Jayhawk West Championship in 2006. Despite battling throughout the season with a separated right shoulder, Grafel fought through the injury and appeared in 27 games, averaging 6.1 points-per-game and 3.5 rebounds. As a freshman, Grafel averaged four points and four rebounds in 30 games played. While at Cloud, Grafel was a two-time selection to the Dean's Honor Roll.
"He's bouncy for a 6-8 kid," Cloud County head coach Kevin Muff said. "He's very athletic, runs the floor extremely well and can face up and post up.
"His versatility for a big guy is definitely a strength."
The incoming junior Grafel was a standout in high school, lettering three times at Decatur Community. As a senior, Grafel was named to the Topeka Journal Capitol All-State Class 2A Second Team after averaging 22.7 points-per-game and 13 rebounds in 2003-04. Grafel was feted in the Salina Journal All-Area team, Hays Daily News All-Area Team and Wichita Eagle All-Class 2A squad. He was a two-time All-Northwest Kansas League selection as a junior and senior.
Nichols, a 6-foot-3 guard, was an Honorable Mention All-Jayhawk West selection in 2006, after averaging 11.8 points and 3.7 assists-per-game for Pratt Community College. He was second on the Beavers in both three-pointers made (29) and steals (44) as a sophomore. In his freshman campaign, he averaged 9.2 points-per-game, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists, while shooting 35.8% (54-for-161) from three-point range.
"Jarvis is a big long scoring guard that can really shoot it," Pratt CC head coach Trevor Rolfs said. "He creates mismatch problems for opponents with his size and strength. He sees the floor very well and is really the consummate combo guard. He can slide to the `1' and be effective there because he's able to pass the ball and lead. He's a great `2' guard because of his ability to score and shoot from three. He has a chance to be a great player at Northern Illinois."
Judson first saw Nichols play at Glenbard North under former head coach Bob Miller.
"Jarvis, when he played for the Panthers, was an excellent shooter," Miller said. "He brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm into the game. He was a pleasure to coach and to be around as a person. I think he's going to do a great job playing for the Huskies in the next two years."
NIU announced that 6-foot-8 forward Craig Reichel (Schaumburg) will not return for the Huskies next season. Reichel has transferred to Division II Rollins College.

Dating nowadays is hard if you are single, and even harder if you are already married and looking to have an affair…especially considering you are trying to do it with a few stolen moments away from the significant other. It also seems that in the sexy heyday of people who were looking to step out on their other half that they had the confidence of a honey badger. Now we hide behind our screen to date and it seems far from the key parties of yesterday, married dating has taken a strange turn, sometimes down a dark alley behind a dumpster into the arms of regret and bizarre requests. I could go my entire life without being propositioned to piss on someone's face, but such is the game in the internet dating world. Online dating can be weird. Here are a few of my thoughts to the electronic people out there looking to get something extra for themselves and have a sexy and exciting affair on AshleyMadison.com but who don't seem to know how to do it right:
You wouldn't talk to a box with a question mark on it at a bar, or would you? It's the 21st century. Everything has a camera, even my pop tart this morning came with a fitted camera and you probably have a million selfies, don't even try to lie about it. Don't be the person who wants to be liked for their personality. It isn't attractive. It's needy. Keep it simple and post a photo.
We get it that you don't realise that what you are doing is a form of prostitution because you don't know what that word means. But men who are married already pay for sex. They come to Ashley Madison to find affairs.
I say fuck you. If you send an email, you expect a response – it's common decency. On AshleyMadison.com there is even an option to use the website stock replies. You don't need to be creative; a rejection email is much preferable to an empty nothing, which leaves one's already vulnerable thoughts dangling around them in an anxious haze. Be a decent human. Respond.
Please revise your typing abilities and get back to me. "Hey how r u wat u in2?" is not a sentence; it is a text message from a 12-year-old. "good. u? into?" is not a response. Work harder. You are a grown man. I am more likely to fuck a pomegranate than I am a deliberate illiterate. To the acronym users: when will you realise words are sexy? Using 'VGL' in fact makes you less good-looking, and 'DTE' actually means that you are so far from the surface of the earth that you are space junk, floating around aimlessly, ignored by all of mankind.
Please get a reality check. Every time you mention how good-looking you are, or how in shape you are, or how good a lover you are, or how hung you are, you are only reinforcing the fact that you are probably none of those things. There is a difference between confidence and assholery. To the body-obsessed men with nothing else to offer: this is sad and indicative of a boring persona. Your abs may be rock hard and your gym regime extensive, but the conversation you bring to the table will be tedious and the sex will probably be vain and dull. Also, I can't clutch marble; give me some butter mounds.
Be bold in your choices. If your profile name is PigOutOnMyAsshole and your tagline is "Milk my prostate", this paints a definitive picture of who you are and what you want, which is fine. But say I get an email with the subject line "Hello there!" and I am then asked normal questions such as "How are you, how was your day?", I will find it harder to talk about how my brunch went if your username is TrufflePigMyVag69 or CumGuzzlerXX. If you are going to play all your cards like that, play them! Don't pussy out and withhold halfway through.
Please don't. I mean it. The only people asking to see your dick are the guys pretending to be girls. Real Women can wait to meet you before seeing your little buddy. I can't reiterate this enough. If I am a female and I am talking to you I have already probably assumed you have one, and if I wanted to see dicks…well I could. A woman can see them whenever she wants. Anyway, do yourself a favour.. refrain from waving your dick around before you've even said hello.. if and when time comes a lucky lady will rip your pants off wanting to see it and all that it can do.

Tallahassee, FL - Florida State returned to the practice field Monday for a light workout in shorts and helmets to kick off its final week of spring practice.
The Seminoles scrimmaged for the second time of the spring last Saturday. Assistant head coach Rick Trickett filled in for head coach Jimbo Fisher, who missed practice Monday for family reasons.
"I thought they bounced around pretty good today," Trickett said. "Of course, you put them in shorts after having pads on for eight, nine, 10 practices in a row, they're all going to bounce around. Thought we bounced around and transitioned from drill-to-drill pretty good. We put in some new things and tried to correct mistakes. I thought we did a pretty good job of it."
After Saturday's scrimmage, Fisher mentioned that the No. 3 running backs – Daniel Monroe and Devonta Freeman made some plays in the running game. Trickett echoed those thoughts about Freeman after practice Monday when asked about the true freshman, who enrolled early.
"I think he's got a real good chance to help us. Eddie's doing a real good job with him. We got another one or two coming in here. It'll be a pretty good battle back there in that spot
As far as the running backs as a unit, Trickett said that unit has impressed this spring.
"When they're with the first group [of offensive line], I think they're running real good," he said. "Lonnie Pryor has made some real nice cuts. I thought Jermaine [Thomas] has come back out with a new approach and Eddie's [Gran] done a good job with him. I thought Jermaine is responding. He's sticking it. He's not all that juke-juke that's he done. He's making one cut and hitting it up in there and going."
The Seminoles will take Tuesday off before holding their last two practices of the spring on Wednesday and Thursday. All practices are closed to the public. Fans can begin counting down to the SunTrust Spring Football Weekend Presented By Kia Autosport which will be capped off with the Annual Garnet and Gold Spring football game at 4 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium. The game will be carried on ESPN3.com and replayed on ESPNU.
Season tickets are available now by visiting Seminoles.com or by calling the Florida State Ticket Office at 1-888-FSU-NOLE. Single game tickets will go on sale to the general public June 1; however a single game sale is not anticipated for either the Oklahoma and Miami home games.

Respond to Review of Artemisa Huertas - Cortes
by Stevie
Review: Staff gave me an English language menu. The menu is predominantly ovo and/or lacto vegetarian. Staff were more than helpful when I asked what on the menu was vegan vegetarian. I had the port soup as a starter then the tofu in the ginger. Both were great. There is a non vegetarian section on the menu containing 2 dishes. I went with non veg*ns who enjoyed the 100% vegetarian food they ordered. Centrally located very close to Sevilla metro, also close to Sol metro. Gets very busy with people queueing for tables.

CHCA lost to Coldwater on Saturday, June 6 in the Division III state title game. (Mark Slaughter | WCPO)

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy baseball team fell behind early and couldn't recover Saturday as their bid for the program's first state title came up short.
Coldwater put up three runs in the first inning and added an additional in the third en route to a 4-2 win in the Division III state championship game in Columbus, Ohio.
The Eagles (29-3) had outscored their opponents 48-0 over the first five playoffs games.
CHCA was led at the plate by sophomore Chase Murray who went 3-for-3 and drove in both of his team's runs.
The Eagles actually outhit Coldwater 10 hits to five but struggled to come through with runners on base, going just 3-for-15.
Senior pitcher Grant Muhlenkamp pitched five innings for Coldwater to pick up the win and secure his school's first state title since 1992. It's their sixth title overall.
For a bit of bright news, CHCA's ace Cameron Varga was selected in the second round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. That came a day after the 6-foot-3 pitcher struck out 15 and notched his fifth no-hitter of the season in a semifinal win over Orrville.

How to Figure out the Notes to Any Song Without Sheet Music
You may be listening to a song on the radio and think: 'I want to play this song on my instrument.' You might go to every store and can't find the sheet music, or it's just not in the budget. Now, you'll never have to go through that again with this guide.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Make sure you are absolutely certain that there are stores on the internet or in your city that have the song. If they do, buy it. Sheet music is more accurate than "by ear" compositions.
2Figure out the very first note of the song. This is the most vital step. I remember this: if the first note is wrong, so is the whole song. To make sure that you have the first note correct, play your supposed starting note at the same time with the actual starting note. You will need a stereo or CD player for this. Both notes should sound identical. Remember: 91% of the time your instrument will not be in the same key as the song.
3Figure out the next segment, or measure of the song. To do this, go from your starting note to the next measure in guesses. Guess the notes. After you guess them, you must check them with the actual song. After you do that, play them at the exact same time. If it matches up, then you have got the exact same notes.
4Check your scale sheets. Every scale has certain notes that characterize itself. There are plenty of scales. Take for example, if my song was in D Major, that would mean that my song would include D E F# G A B C# D then it would be in D Major. If possible, check your scale with the key of the actual song.
5Repeat the process several times, and finally, you have your song!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Know key the of the song if possible.
- You can copy, but don't break copyright rules.
- Don't plagiarize music. Otherwise you may find yourself in trouble with copyright issues.

Arab foreign ministers launch talks on political reform, Iraq, Israel-Palestine conflict
Arab foreign ministers began a new round of meetings to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, instability in Iraq and political reform in Arab countries.
"The ministers will debate the situation in Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and ideas for reform in the Middle East in order to draft a joint Arab stand," Arab League deputy secretary general Ahmed Ben Helli told reporters.
Meanwhile, sources close to the participants said senior Arab diplomats were due to produce a joint draft for reform in the Middle East, amounting to a counter-proposal to US plans for "political and economic change" - also known as the "Greater Middle East Initiative."
Egypt submitted its own counter-initiative to the foreign ministers in Cairo Monday and also stressed the need to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to improve the atmosphere for reform.
According to Jordan's Petra news agency, the Egyptian initiative also affirmed the importance of providing justice and overcoming despair on settling the Palestinian cause, ending occupation, respecting people's sovereignty and maintaining the unity and safety of its lands.
On Wednesday, Amman submitted its own project, which covers the broad lines of the Egyptian plan, stressing that Arab countries pledge to continue down the road to reform and insisting on a Palestinian settlement.
On Tuesday, state-run Damascus Radio slammed the US "reform" program.
"The project aims at ignoring the Arabs' culture, historical heritage, civilization and aspirations," the Syrian radio said.
In its daily political commentary, the Radio, cited by SANA, said the project aims only at "protecting the American interests" because it "neglects...basic issues in the region such as occupation, mass displacing and acts of killing practiced by Israel against the Arabs", especially against the Palestinians.
With regards to Iraq, Arab ministers were expected to condemn the attacks in Baghdad and Karbala that left nearly 200 people dead and stress the need to maintain its sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, Arab League sources said. (Albawaba.com)

Besides that, having a car is another expense, the car park which usually cost $200 to $300 monthly and the ptrol maintenance and etc. And specially in Tokyo there are over 12 million people who lives here. So, you can imagine how many cars there are! But, the most easiest way to go around is by train. It can get too traffic if you want to go around by car. But even if you're taking a train, avoid the busiest time of the day. Around 7 am to 9 are the busiest time. Tokyo Metropolitan Station? Gosh..don't ask me! Shinjuku, Shibuya and etc..are the busiest stations in Tokyo. Even in Kameido, this is our nearest station, it can get too cowded! Here's the link for the JR Railway. Japan Rail
Transportation: Getting from Narita to Tokyo
The fastest way to getting to Tokyo is the Narita Express(NEX), a color red train. All train goes through Tokyo station, others goes to Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Omiya and Yokohama. The seats are reserve and the trains runs from 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. It takes 80min. to Shinjuku which the fare is 3,200+ yen and in Tokyo Station about 53 minutes and the fare is 3000yen. You better book in advance if you don't want a hassle. Information on NEX seats
Transportation: Buses
Limousine Buses- Runs from Narita Airport to many Tokyo Hotels and cost mostly likely 3000yen but obviously sensitive to traffic! Do not ever take a taxi from the airport unless you are prepared to pay $200 to $300.
City Buses- Most buses within the city operates in a single fare which is 210yen. Passenger enters at the front door. And I've read that mostly when it's outside the city, you have to enter at the back door and get your numbered ticket! It corresponds to the fare board above the driver and you'll pay it before exiting in the front door!
Night Buses to Kansai Region- I never tried this before but I've read that it's most likely 5000yen one way and round trip for 9500yen. Must be the most economical way to pay a visit to the old Capitals and WEstern Japan. Buses leaves from Shinjuku and Tokyo Disney Resort every night. For more information you can call 03-5643-7006 or this Night Buses for Kansai Region
Transportation: Taxis
Most train Stations and hotels have taxi stands,but cabs can be flagged almost anywhere. The meter starts usually by 660yen. Some has 650yen and 500yen. And some,accepts credit cards but not all.If possible bring map to your destination as well as the full address. Not all drivers can understand and knows english well! Nihon Kotsu offers a 24 hr English dispatch interpration service,tel # is 03-3799-9220(just read this info).
For Flight information, Narita Airport , tel # 0476-3432-8505
Accomodations: *Apartments
There are alof of accomodations wherever for sure you wanna hook up here. But,it would be much expensive if you're thinking of a 4 to 5 star hotels. Usually it's $200 to $300/day approximately. But, there are also ryokans that are not much expensive, affordables and reasonable. Of course we want a clean and comfortable room after a heavy walking in the day. I would suggest that there are guest houses that offers a reasonable price over this expensive city! Try this Sakura House I haven't tried this though but it seems as the prices are very affordable.
Here are some apartments:
Joint Rent
Fontana Apartments & Guest Houses
Roppongi Mansions
Note: Problems with my accomodation tips is I haven't tried any of it. I just thought it would be much helpful to have a link so that you can check it out if it's affordable and is accesible. We live here so we don't really need a hotel.Sorry!
Cridet Cards: *Telephone numbers
Cridet Cards are being accepted mostly all the big and small establishments. Here are some telephone #'s.
American Express-0120-020-120
Dinners Club-03-3797-7311

Rock Pikmin
|Rock Pikmin
|Brute force (i.e. crushing or impaling)
| Strong (varying damage
when thrown, 20 on lunge)
|Carrying capacity
Rock Pikmin (岩ピクミン?) are a species of Pikmin featured in Pikmin 3. They resemble small polished rocks with Pikmin eyes, limbs, and, just like the Winged Pikmin, have lavender flowers. The main part of their body seems to be a gray texture of graphite that reflects light, while the "skin" on their arms and legs appears to be smooth and gray. When Rock Pikmin are dismissed, their sprouts glow gray. Their ghosts are also shaped like small gray rocks with eyes. Just like all other types of Pikmin in Pikmin 3, Rock Pikmin share an Onion and are reproduced through collecting nutrients from pellets and corpses. Rock Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin Alph discovers in Pikmin 3, the first being Red Pikmin.
Traits and abilities[edit]
Rock Pikmin, like most Pikmin types, are immune to a specific hazard. These Pikmin, in particular, are immune to blunt force; when crushed by a large object, they are simply driven into the ground and become temporarily and partially buried. When a creature with a sharp proboscis tries to impale them, they are simply knocked back without taking damage.
Rock Pikmin have very hard exteriors, which allows them to smash through glass, crystals, and even the armor of larger animals (like the Armored Mawdad and the Peckish Aristocrab's claw). However, they do not sink in water, and are thrown just as far as most Pikmin types, revealing that they do not weigh much.
Despite their increased strength, they do have a setback: Rock Pikmin cannot latch onto their targets like other Pikmin and will instead bounce off and roll back. If left unoccupied, they will repeatedly attack enemies and obstacles by charging head-on into them, doing significantly less damage per time than other Pikmin types: after hitting something, they roll back and stay lying down for a bit before rushing again, making their rate of attack atrocious. They can, however, be thrown by a leader to cause more damage than a regular strike, and can be whistled to get up from lying down faster. That said, if they are thrown at the root of a Burgeoning Spiderwort and not directly on its berries, are told to attack the Shaggy Long Legs's hair, or are attacking another Pikmin in Bingo Battle, they will use their stem like the other types, and they won't charge (they will charge when attacking a leader in Bingo Battle, though).
The Rock Pikmin are discovered in the Garden of Hope, the second area in Pikmin 3. They are found in a cave located north of the landing site. Residing in this cave is a Medusal Slurker that contains 6 Rock Pikmin. After defeating it, the player can use the newly-discovered Pikmin species to free the gray Onion from a large crystal. After propagating enough Rock Pikmin, they can be used to break down the crystal wall outside of the cave and free Brittany. At the end of the day, the gray Onion will merge with the red Onion. Interestingly, a few of the Rock Pikmin will have a bud on top of their stem while others will have the usual leaf.
Mandatory uses[edit]
In order to progress futher into the game, at least one Rock Pikmin is mandatory to have in the player's party, so the following tasks can be completed:
- Fruits
- Searing Acidshock (Garden of Hope): One of the two in the area is inside of a crystal.
- Fire-Breathing Feast: This piece of fruit is located inside the Armored Mawdad, which needs to be defeated with Rock Pikmin.
- Enemies
- Armored Mawdad: Rock Pikmin are needed to destroy the crystal armor.
- Quaggled Mireclops: The crystal on the head must be destroyed to finish the first phase of the battle.
- Other
- Rock Pikmin Onion: As stated above, their Onion is encased in a crystal that needs to be destroyed in order to release it.
Recommended uses[edit]
Rock Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, but are not mandatory.
- Fruits
- Disguised Delicacy (Distant Tundra): This fruit is encased in a crystal. It is possible to destroy the crystal with bomb rocks.
- Zest Bomb (Distant Tundra): Ditto.
- Dapper Blob (Twilight River): Ditto.
- Blonde Impostor: Ditto.
- Enemies
- Calcified Crushblat: Although the creature is covered in crystal, a bomb rock can destroy it. On top of that, Winged Pikmin can charge at its feet, removing the need to take out the crystal.
- Peckish Aristocrab: The claw can be destroyed to make it unable to eat Pikmin.
- Plasm Wraith: The crystal Elemental Plasms it releases can be destroyed by Rock Pikmin.
- Skutterchuck: The crystal nodules it uses to attack can be destroyed.
- Shaggy Long Legs: Rock Pikmin are extremely helpful in this fight as they are immune to being crushed and they can climb up the Shaggy Long Legs.
Mission Mode tip[edit]"
In Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U[edit]
Rock Pikmin are not a part of Olimar's moveset in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, but they do appear as a trophy.
- Wii U

The data file explaining Rock Pikmin's crystal-shattering hardness.
To do: Describe the "crunching" sound better, and note which enemies make the noise, and which do not.
- In the happy ending of the first Pikmin game, there are four black or gray Pikmin Onions flying above the planet's atmosphere. These could quite possibly be Rock Pikmin Onions, even though the Onions' appearance in Pikmin 3 has changed.
- In Pikmin Adventure, the Knuckle Seed resembles the ability of Rock Pikmin: a straight and strong impact shot.
- Rock Pikmin release "cracking" particle effects for when they hit breakable objects.
- The stem on a Rock Pikmin's head droops lower than on other Pikmin types.
- Rock Pikmin are the only main Pikmin type not to be utilized by Olimar in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U in any way.
- As seen in this trailer, Rock Pikmin originally had four looks. In the final game, all Rock Pikmin look the exact same.
- Rock Pikmin make a different sound when eaten: there is a much more noticeable crunching sound.

FIGUEROA: Farmers to offer exemption for U.S. Amateur winner
The Farmers Insurance Open is doing a little addition by subtraction.
Already equipped with one of the stronger fields on the PGA Tour, the annual stop at Torrey Pines is looking to bolster its field even more now that it will offer an exemption to the U.S. Amateur winner.
The casualty of the change is the amateur qualifying event, which will no longer be held.
Tournament director Peter Ripa said the amateur qualifier, an 18-hole event that has been held every year since 1985, is no longer attracting the best amateurs in the region, let alone the country.
"Over the last few years, we didn't have an amateur player who was higher than a third-team All-American," Ripa said. "In fact, we've had only a total of three All-Americans over the past two years.
"I don't think it makes sense for a PGA Tour event to have amateur qualifying if you're not attracting the region's top amateur players. If you had top players from other countries who were playing at local universities, or had kids who went to school outside of the area but lived here and they were flying back, that would be different. But we're not seeing that."
Tiger Woods, who grew up in Orange County and played Torrey Pines regularly growing up, never entered the amateur qualifier. Under the new system, he would have a qualified three times as a U.S. Amateur champion.
The amateur qualifier, held every October or November, has been won by a number of players who have gone on to successful tour careers, including Phil Mickelson, Bob May, Charley Hoffman and Chris Riley.
But of the 47 players who have advanced through the amateur qualifier over the last 27 years --- the tournament granted two exemptions from the amateur qualifier from 1986-2004 --- only three players have made the cut.
The highest finisher was Rancho Santa Fe's Pat Duncan Sr., who finished 50th in 1986. Steve Haase placed 75th in 1989 and Poway's Charley Hoffman, a three-time amateur qualifier, placed 76th in 1996.
Ripa said the steps to becoming a U.S. Amateur champion is a more "comprehensive measure" of a player than one 18-hole qualifier.
"(Anyone) can capture lightning in a bottle for 18 holes," he said. "But it's not an effective measure of their overall game. When you're extending (an exemption) to a non-(tour) member, you really want to make sure there's a chance that he's going to be there on Sunday."
Duncan, one of the country's top amateurs in his day who twice got in the field through the amateur qualifier, expressed disappointment when he heard of the change.
"It's a sad day for amateur golf in Southern California, let alone San Diego," said Duncan, the 1990 SCGA Amateur champion and nine-time winner of the San Diego City Amateur. "Isn't the idea to support your community?"
Duncan, who played in three U.S. Amateurs in the mid-80s and the 1988 U.S. Open at Brookline Country Club, said qualifying for what was then known as the Andy Williams Open has always ranked as one of the highlights of his golf career.
"The thing changed my life, I know that much," he said. "If you ask anyone who qualified, it's the highlight of their career. Ask Charley, ask Phil or Chris Riley. It influenced their lives, I'm sure. That was Phil and Charley's first professional tournament, and look at where they are now."
The U.S Amateur champion receives exemptions into the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open, assuming they maintain their amateur status. Ripa said the Farmers would still grant an exemption if this year's winner decides to turn professional. The U.S. Amateur is set for Aug. 13-19 at Cherry Hills in Colorado.

Why not try something really different, distinctive and truly unique!
A modest wedding dress is the right thing for you if you're not one of those funky and bold brides who are willing to show off as much skin, cleavage and legs as possible.

You can cover your arms in different ways, without looking like a completely unattractive bride. Try a refined cap sleeve cheap modest wedding dress with a calf length and a flowing and draping skirt.
T-shirt, balloon, petal, poet, bell or illusion sleeve cheap modest wedding dresses can make the perfect modest and yet chic, dainty and classy look that you're on to. Choose a soft material, such as duchesses satin, lace, georgette, illusion net, damask, batiste, chiffon, linen, cotton or crepe for a more sleek and clean appearance.
Round necks, spaghetti straps, halter necks, high necks and bare backs, one shoulder, bateau or empire waist bodices can complete the looks of a cheap modest wedding dress.

I am amazed and pleased right now. Because I never thought I would find the type of line I want for my wedding dress in this article. I thought I would read about something else, I will see other types of dresses. But no you really talked and shown the type of dress i want for my wedding day. I always wanted a dress with sleeves and now I have plenty to choose from and from all these i have two favorites to choose from. it's the first first dress and the third dress in that row of dresses. I like the first one because of the appliques, they are very nice and the third one because of the line. I wouldn't combine them, but I would choose the one that would fit.

You know how you can earn free sandwiches from Subway by collecting stickers each time to you eat? St. Paul Grill is offering a similar service, only it's way better.

FA Cup needed TWICE the amount of restoration work after clumsy Chelsea handed it back
FOOTBALL bosses will be glad Chelsea didn't reach the FA Cup final this year - as it took almost 80 HOURS to repair the trophy following the Blues' victory last season!
This year it took probably 70 to 80 hours of restoration and polishing
As usual for winners, Chelsea were allowed to hang onto the FA Cup for almost a whole year after their final win over Liverpool last term.
But Williams admitted the trophy was "pretty well damaged" by the time he began to prepare it for tomorrow's final between Wigan and Manchester City.
"This year it took probably 70 to 80 hours of restoration and polishing, where you would normally allow more like 38 hours to make sure everything's all right," he said.
"I've been looking after the FA Cup for about 17 years now, and the damage this time was more extensive; although a few years ago, without naming the team responsible, the Cup came back with the lid in two pieces."
Chelsea have a record of badly treating silverware, as Williams also recently had to do some restoration work on the Champions League trophy, which the Stamford Bridge side were also holders of for the past 12 months.
With the west London club due to appear in next week's Europa League final, UEFA must fearing the worst!

Personal Statement from Yaya:
Hi everyone! I just would like to re-iterate what a great project this is. Even though there is no monetary compensation, I believe this book is worth being a part of. Why? Because the cosplay scene is growing fast and shifting toward the mainstream. But right now the public media still has huge misconceptions about cosplayers as fetishists, booth babes, and faux geeks.
We need to set the record straight, by giving the mainstream media a collection of incredible costumes that are hand/home made, with passion and creativity. I want to be a part of "1000 Incredible Cosplay and Costume Ideas" because I know it can help non-geeks and mass media understand what WE are all about, and what is means to be a cosplayer. I believe this book can serve as a guideline to Cosplay for many years to come. So please read the guidelines and SUBMIT! Be a part of Cosplay History!"
Any questions, comment below! I'll answer to the best of my abilities!

nc 127.0.0.1 1234 -c "fusestream /mnt/tmp"
- Easy implementation of servers in high level language (without need of any arch-dependent things like JNI or whatever)
- Simple ad-hoc networking filesystem out of the box.
- Accessibility without actual FUSE (when it is inaccessible):
nc -lp 1234 -e fusexmp_server&
fakefusestream 127.0.0.1 1234
% ls
bin lib usr proc etc
% get /etc/hosts
% exit
Like simple RPC of FUSE methods. The protocol should simple like IRC and should handle all things FUSE can handle.
Is there already such thing or should I implement it?
