Below are five things your man is dying to hear you mouth off about. Couple in Bed Him Men want to know that you're not visualizing someone else when you're with them or just phoning it in, so although it may seem basic, saying (or screaming out) his name in bed is a good way to ease into dirty talk. Punctuate it with a few "ooohs" and moans and it will be more than enough to get him going. The Action If you're being a tad quiet, many men will take the initiative and let you know what they'd like to hear by peppering you with questions, such as "What am I doing to you?" and "How does that feel?" In this case, simply [35]describing the mise en scene and how you feel will suffice. However, don't feel like obligated to use cuss words if it's not your style. Instead, take a cue from romance novels and utilize under-used verbs like "pulse," "swell," and "throb." Your Fantasies Nothing counts when it's said in between the sheets, so if you're feeling confident, why not seize the opportunity and tell him all of your craziest fantasies and dreams? If the thought leaves you tongue-tied, try practicing in front of a mirror - especially the particularly naughty parts - until you are able to say them without feeling embarrassed or laughing. Stock Dirty Phrases Sometimes just having sex is intimate enough, and the idea of pouring out all of your deepest desires, especially in a new relationship, is too much. However, you don't want to be mute. For those times, any of the following stock sexy phrases will work: "Oh, yeah, right there!" "That feels amazing" "Don't stop, harder" "I want you so bad" "Give it to me!" "You animal!" Get Creative Men can be just as insecure as women; so sometimes a little vocal encouragement is all that's needed to let them know that you are enjoying what they're doing. Sometimes a few soft purrs can be just as effective as a well-rehearsed speech, so don't be afraid to get creative. Whatever you do to cheerlead them along will make your bedroom romp all the more exciting.

It came from Fredrick's Layla October 13, 2012 | 8:03 PM It's a lace bandeau bra. Here's one similar. http://m.nordstrom/s/3159477/ Anna October 08, 2012 | 3:58 PM I wouldn't mind knowing what that bra is that the woman is wearing, too; seeing a couple posts asking about it but no answers. anyone know, or know one that is similar? Tandy October 05, 2012 | 11:35 AM Good advice there! Haley, Great is not about how many men you have been laid by. The best way to improve in bed is to be confident in who you are, where your going in life and except yourself unconditionally. If your 25 year old boyfriend is critical or negative about your reaction it is possible he is just not the man who can push your buttons. Speak your mind say what you want and need. Good physical unions happen when both partners are able to be honest about everything. Beth July 08, 2012 | 6:31 PM My man loves for me too tell him that he is the best and tell him what he does to me that makes me feel so great! Lauren June 22, 2012 | 2:49 PM All of these are good tips and another is to make sure and use his name. something about saying their name drives a guy wild.(moaning it is even better) kiddo January 09, 2011 | 9:34 AM Some good advice here on what to say in bed.

Not sure if there are any Entourage fans out there (HBO on Sunday nights), but did you notice Vince and the gang eating Sonic?.... kind of goes with the idea of this place being "hip". I just bought this stock after a store opened up here in the depressed state of Michigan and the place was packed and continues to be. They actually have a holding lot for all the people waiting to get in...personally I don't get it, but I figure it is worth a small investment. Hope i am right....
Guy Im in Michigan too! One in Southgate and Westland. They have to control the traffic with attendants!! Very freindly, clean place. I cannot believe this is at least a $20 stock. Im buying before it is.
If you believe in Sonic, you may want to look at Wendys/Arbys (WEN). They at least have a positive NW & at 1/2 the price.Good luck with your investments
"1/2 the price?" Your comment reflects the level of investing acumen on these boards. So by your argument Fannie Mae stock is "cheaper" than SONC because each share costs less to buy? Why even bother making ignorant comments like that?
Yeah, Wendy's is great if you don't like your stocks to actually have earnings per share.

Internships replacing entry-level jobs
PHOENIX — Just a few years ago taking on a job without a paycheck was almost unthinkable. Now it's called an internship and a step toward future employment.
Eileen McGarry, executive director of career services and student engagement at the University of Arizona told the Wall Street Journal, the intern has become today's entry-level hire.
According to the Journal, the unemployment rate for 20- to 24-year-olds remained at an all-time high of almost 11.5 percent. Young adults lacking college degrees were having an especially hard time finding entry-level jobs.
Theresa Maher with Jobing.com said internships are a great way for companies to test the talent coming out of the colleges and universities. It's a two-way street.
"It lets the candidate test out the company before they make the commitment to an actual job whether they'd be a good fit there," Maher said.
"An internship is sometimes treated as a probationary period. The companies can see different candidate skills and how the fit into the culture and really see what that candidate is all about before they make the official investment with a job offer."
Maher said employers' expectations were higher now and interns and entry-level hires were expected to be work-ready right away.
"Technology is huge in the way we're communicating and connecting with people to gain knowledge and information on companies and industry which is greater now than ever before. This is a fast-moving market."

After my hosting provider migrated to new server, the links in all of my WordPress blogs stopped to work.
I mean links to categories , archive , rss feed etc... When I click on links I go to main page http://example.com/myblog/ .
I know that by eliminating in my 'permalink structure' /index.php
(going from the following: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
to the following: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/),
I get the links working again but my rss feed
http://example.com/myblog/index.php/feed/ would not work. I should change it to http://example.com/myblog/feed/ ,
but doing that I would lose the current subscribers (them subscribed http://example.com/myblog/index.php/feed/).
Could anybody suggest me any solutions? (my WP version is 1.5.2)

Robert Kaplan: The Journalist as Bad Historian?Historians in the News
Friedman emphasizes trade and diplomacy; exhibits a rather straightforward appreciation of technology as a driving factor in human progress; is, in his most optimistic moments, prone to evoking a global future of unlimited gravy production. Kaplan is more likely to refer to history; regards culture as the decisive force in each society's prospects; and, when imagining the world's future, tend to sound something like Kurtz from Heart of Darkness, only less cheerful.
Friedman sees some grounds for concern over the pace and direction of globalization. At heart, though, he trusts the process. Kaplan trusts nothing but the superiority of the West, and has not been shy about saying that imperialism was a good idea that has only gotten better with time.
If those are our options, we are doomed. Be that as it may, here is my confession: Friedman often irritates me, while Kaplan's weltanschaung calls to mind the phrase"beneath contempt."
Fortunately Tom Bissell does not agree: He considers Kaplan worth all the scorn needed to fuel an analytical essay of several thousand well-turned words. His piece,"Euphorias of Perrier: The Case Against Robert D. Kaplan," appears in the new issue of Virginia Quarterly Review -- a publication rapidly dispelling any fear that the day of the important literary quarterly is over.
"Kaplan's real and growingly evident problem," writes Bissell,"is not his Parkinson's grip on history, or that he is a bonehead or a warmonger, but rather that he is an incompetent thinker and a miserable writer." He calls one of Kaplan's books"a thesaurus of incoherencies."
What is worrying is that Kaplan has his enthusiasts in the corridors of power.
"Carl von Clausewitz famously wrote that war is the extension of politics by other means," says Bissell."Bush and Kaplan, on the other hand, appear to advocate war as cultural politics by other means. This has resulted in a collision of second-rate minds with third-rate policies. While one man attempts to make the world as simple as he is able to comprehend it, the other whispers in his various adjutants' ears that they are on the side of History itself."

4.5: Complex Numbers
Plotting points was something you did back in early Algebra, and it likely seems pretty simple now. For instance, plotting the point (4, 5) meant starting at the origin and moving 4 units to the right - the x direction, and 5 units up - the y direction.
In this lesson, one of the things we will consider is the graphing of complex numbers such as \begin{align*}4 +3i\end{align*}
In essence it doesn't sound that hard, but which direction do you only imagine moving 3 units?

- Khan Academy: Complex Numbers (part 1)
Sometimes when you solve a quadratic equation, the solution has both a real part and an imaginary part. For example, if you want to solve
\begin{align*}(x - 1)^2 + 4 = 0\end{align*}
\begin{align*}(x - 1)^2 = -4\end{align*}
\begin{align*}x - 1 = \pm\sqrt{-4}\end{align*}
\begin{align*}x - 1 = \pm\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{4}\end{align*}
\begin{align*}x - 1 = \pm2i\end{align*}
\begin{align*}x = 1 \pm 2i\end{align*}
\begin{align*}x = 1 + 2i\end{align*}
Notice that these two solutions involve a real part, 1, and an imaginary part, ±2i
a + bi is the standard or rectangular form of a complex number.
A complex number is a number that has a real part (in this case a) and an imaginary part, that is, the imaginary number i with a coefficient b.
The complex numbers are a superset of the real numbers, meaning that all of the real numbers are part of the set of complex numbers:
Given 'a + bi, if b = 0 (meaning there is no imaginary part to the complex number), then all you have remaining is a real number. Viewed this way, every real number can be written as a complex number (just let it equal a), but there are many more complex numbers than real numbers. Hence the complex numbers are a superset of the real numbers.
Graphing complex numbers
In standard form, a + bi, a complex number can be graphed using rectangular coordinates (a, b). The x - coordinate represents "real number" values, while the y - coordinate represents the "imaginary" values.
Example A
Graph the complex number: z = 2 + 2i, in rectangular form.
The coordinate (2, 2) is graphed as shown below:
Example B
Solve each equation and express it as a complex number. (Note: If the imaginary part is 0, express the solution as a + 0i)
- a) x2 + 24 = 0
- b) 2x2 - 4x + 7 = 0
a) \begin{align*}x = \pm2\sqrt{6}i\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}x = 1 \pm 2\sqrt{3}i\end{align*}
Example C
Plot each of the following complex numbers in rectangular form:
a. (4 + 2i)
b. (-3 + i)
c. (3 - 4i)
d. 3i
Your graph should look like:
Concept question wrap up
Of course you don't actually just imagine moving in one direction, but it is kind of a funny thought!
When graphing complex numbers in standard form: a + bi, the real component a is plotted on the horizontal or x axis. The imaginary component bi is plotted on the y axis in just the same way a real number would be.
\begin{align*}\therefore 4 + 3i\end{align*} would be located 4 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin.
Complex numbers are the combination (technically the 'sum') of a real number and an imaginary number. They are written in standard form as a + bi, where a is the real number and b is the coefficient of the imaginary number.
The complex plane is the graphical representation of the set of all complex numbers.
A superset is a set that includes other sets within it. The complex number set includes all classic complex numbers a + bi, and also, because bi may equal 0, it also includes all of the real numbers as well. This makes it a superset of the set of real numbers.
Guided Practice
1) Simplify and express as a complex number \begin{align*}-\sqrt{60} + \sqrt{-121}\end{align*}
2) Solve the equation and express the answer as a simplified complex number \begin{align*}x(4x) + 4 = 0\end{align*}
3) Graph the complex numbers:
- a) 3 + 2i
- b) 2 - 3i
- c) -2 + 2i
1) To simplify \begin{align*}-\sqrt{60} + \sqrt{-121}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}-\sqrt{4 \cdot 15} + \sqrt{121 \cdot -1}\end{align*} Factor the numbers under the roots
- \begin{align*}-2\sqrt{15} + 11\sqrt{-1}\end{align*} Simplify the perfect square roots
- \begin{align*}-2\sqrt{15} + 11i\end{align*}
2) To solve \begin{align*}x(4x) + 4 = 0\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}4x^2 + 4 = 0\end{align*} Distribute the x
- \begin{align*}4x^2 = -4\end{align*} Subtract 4 from both sides
- \begin{align*}x^2 = -1\end{align*} Divide both sides by 4
- \begin{align*}x = i\end{align*} Take the square root of both sides
3) To graph the complex numbers, graph the real value on the x axis, and the imaginary value on the y axis. The image below shows the points correctly graphed.
- What are complex numbers technically the sum of?
- What does the complex plane represent?
Express in simplest form in terms of i
- \begin{align*}13 - \sqrt{-49}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\sqrt{75} + \sqrt{\frac{-16}{256}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}-3 - \sqrt{\frac{-25}{169}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}-\sqrt{36} + \sqrt{-64}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}10 - \sqrt{\frac{-4}{36}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}4 + \sqrt{-250}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}3^2 \sqrt{-0.0009}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\sqrt{-0.16} -(- \sqrt{27})\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}10 + \sqrt{-0.49}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}-3 + \sqrt{-0.0196}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}9 \sqrt{-8j^9} + 3\sqrt{25}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\sqrt{-676b^3a^1c^8} +\sqrt{112}\end{align*}
Graph Complex Numbers
- Two complex numbers are graphed below. What are the numbers expressed in standard complex number form?
- Graph the complex number \begin{align*}3 - 4i\end{align*}
- Graph the complex number \begin{align*}-2 + 3i\end{align*}
- Graph the complex point \begin{align*}(3 + i)\end{align*}
- Graph the complex point \begin{align*}(-1 - 2i)\end{align*}

Monday June 24, 2013
Graniteville, SC--In just three short years the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley has gained a world wide reputation as one of, if not, the best junior tournaments in the world. Even before they held the first event, there was a purpose behind the tournaments, to help out the First Tee Programs of Aiken and Augusta. That was the reasoning behind today's event at Sage valley. With lead sponsor Electrolux on hand, the tournament presented both first tee programs checks of $200,000.
"Wow, we're speechless" said Elizabeth Smith "It's just a huge impact because it allows us to conitnue what we do every day. We're reaching over 12,000 young people in just Aiken County. We reach them through character development, life skills through the game of golf, outreach programs, after school programs, we reach them in the schools so its just so exciting."
"Golf has been very important to a lot of kids in this area and a lot of folks still play it obviously" said Tom Wyatt "We have a lot of golf course in the area and whatever we can do to grow the game we're all better off for it."
Also cool to note, there's already been a few of the kids who've played in the Junior Invite, play in the US Open and other PGA tour events, and i'm sure more will be coming down the road

Recently I wrote about Paul Swartz, a West Virginia native now living in Shallotte who was inducted into the Musselman High School Hall of Fame on Sept. 12.
Musselman High School is in Inwood, W.Va. Swartz's athletic feats in the mid-50s in football, basketball and baseball spread fast in that part of tri-state area.
Steve Denney, now a Brierwood resident, lived, in Clark County, Va., about 20 miles away for Swartz. Denney was one of those who heard about Swartz's accomplishments.
A hoarse voice is the first indication of how the BCC women's basketball season has been for first-year coach Ashlyn Burke.
"I have a raspy voice," she said Dec. 6, one day after her Lady Dolphins played its fourth game in six days.
"I've taken my last four showers here at the facility here this week. And I think I need a blowup mattress to put in my locker room."
But Burke knew the hours would be long.
The South Brunswick girls' swim team finished second and South's boys third in a 14-team meet Dec. 19 at Goldsboro. South's boys missed second by three points.
The Cougars had three first-place finishers: Rachel Van Noordt in the 200 individual medley, Myles Williams in the 50 freestyle; Cody Spencer in the 100 backstroke.
Girls' 200 medley relay: South A team second, South B team seventh; South boys, third.
200 freestyle: Brian Teemsma, second; Elias Gilbert, sixth.
In the CFAG event Dec. 21 at Farmstead, John Ogden, Ned Meier, Bob Jaeger and a draw placed first with a 152. Team scoring was two nets per hole. Steve Maiorca, John Ducey, Sid Pennington and a draw placed second.
On Dec. 23 at Meadowlands, Frank Janton, Jerry Rubin, Joe Meo and a draw placed first with a 136. Teams scored three nets on the par-3s, two on the par-4s and one on par-5s. Placing second were Ned Meier, John Ogden, Jody Serensits and Bob Jaeger.
LELAND—The North Brunswick girls' basketball team improved to 2-0 in the Waccamaw Confererence by beating West Brunswick 53-47 Friday night.
For North, senior guard Asheley Robbins scored 26 points. Fouled often on drives to the basket, she hit 13 of 17 free throws.
Three members of the West Brunswick championship volleyball team are first-team selections to the inaugural All-Waccamaw 3A/2A Conference volleyball team.
Coaches selected seniors Kenzie McDuffie, Carly White and Keri Nolan to the first team.
Coaches selected seniors Breana Gause, Miriah Milliken and Mattie Tippett to the second team.
West's Leslie Reeves was coach of the year. (The conference did not select a player of the year.)
The best sports movie?
I am sure several will come to mind, about baseball stars and football stars, about golfers and boxers, about bull riders or auto racers or Olympians.
My favorite: "A Christmas Story."
The movie is often summarized as being about a boy, named Ralphie, trying to persuade his parents to get him an air rifle (i.e., a BB gun) for Christmas. But I think the popular movie also is about a young hunter in a suburban setting, and it is full of sports anecdotes.
West Brunswick coach James Walker was aware of South Brunswick's young team and knew it was important for the Trojans to jump out on the visiting Cougars early in the Dec. 15 contest.
West did just that, opening up an 18-2 lead at the end of the first quarter and easily holding on for a 57-21 victory in the first game of the Waccamaw Conference season.
West used a balanced scoring attack in the opening period with points coming from seven players.
With championships in volleyball, men's soccer, and men's cross country, West Brunswick leads the Waccamaw Conference standings after the fall season for the Wachovia Confererence Cup.
The Wachovia Conference Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools achieving the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within their conference.
Wachovia has sponsored the conference awards program since 1980.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—West Bladen, with a record of 8-1 and ranked high in the state, sank South Brunswick 49-33 Friday night in a Waccamaw Conference boys' basketball game in the Cougars' gym.
The Cougars entered the game coming off a 48-45 loss Dec. 16 to Horry County powerhouse North Myrtle Beach.
South coach Dan McGougan likes his teams to face a tough schedule before they get deep into conference play, and these last two games should get them going in the right direction.

General Ecology
DMS in the odor landscape of the sea
Dimethyl Sulfide or DMS is present throughout the ocean(1). It's an important odor component of many fish and shellfish, including clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, crabs and shrimp(2-9). Where does it come from? Usually from the marine plants they feed on.
Many species of plants and algae produce DMS, but not all species produce significant amounts of it. Nearly all of these are marine, and they tend to be in closely related groups with other DMS-producers, including Chlorophyte (green) seaweeds, the Dinophyceae in the dinoflagellates, and some members of the Chrysophyceae and the Bacillariophyceae (two classes of diatoms). Other large groups, like cyanobacteria and freshwater algae, tend not to produce DMS. (10,11)
Why do these groups produce DMS? In algae, most researchers believe a related chemical, DMSP, is used by the algae for osmoregulation- by ensuring the ion concentration inside their cells stays fairly close to the salinity in the seawater outside, they prevent osmotic shock. Otherwise, after a sudden exposure to fresh water (rain at the sea surface, for instance) cells could swell up and explode. In vascular plants, like marsh grasses and sugar cane, it's not clear what DMS is used for. (12,13)
Freshly harvested shellfish can smell like DMS because DMSP has accumulated in their tissue from the algae in their diet. Some animals, including giant Tridacna clams and the intertidal flatworm Convoluta roscoffensis, harbor symbiotic algae in their tissues, which produce DMSP; this may not be important to their symbioses, but for Tridacna, the high DMS levels can be a problem for marketing the clams to human consumers. After death, DMSP begins to break down into DMS. A little DMS creates a pleasant flavor, but high concentrations offend the human palate.(2,14)
Not all grazers retain DMS in their tissues, though. At sea, DMS is released when zooplankton feed on algae. It's been shown in the marine copepods Labidocera aestiva and Centropages hamatus feeding on the dinoflagellate Gymnodinium nelson that nearly all the DMS in the consumed algae is quickly released during feeding and digestion.(15) This has a disadvantage for the grazing zooplankton. Marine predators, like procellariiform seabirds, harbor seals, penguins, whale sharks, cod, and coral reef fishes like brown chromis, Creole wrasse and boga, can use the smell of DMS to locate zooplankton to feed on. (8,16,17)
It's not easy to measure how much DMS is released from the Ocean into the air every year. Recent estimates suggest 13-37 Teragrams, or 1.3-3.7 billion kilograms. This accounts for about half the natural transport of Sulfur into the atmosphere, is the conveyor belt by which Sulfur cycles from the ocean back to land. In the atmosphere, DMS is oxidized into several compounds that serve as Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN). The presence of CCN in the air determines when and where clouds form, which affects not only the Water cycle, but the reflection of sunlight away from the Earth. This is why climate scientists believe DMS plays an important role in regulating the Earth's climate. (12,18)

Tridacna is a genus of large saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the subfamily Tridacninae, the giant clams. They have heavy shells, fluted with 4 to 6 folds. The mantle is brightly coloured. They inhabit shallow waters of coral reefs in warm seas of the Indo-Pacific region.[2] These clams are popular in marine aquaria, and in some areas, such as the Philippines, members of the genus are farmed for the marine aquarium trade. They live in symbiosis with photosynthetic algae (zooxanthellae). Some species are eaten by humans.
Systematics and phylogeny[edit]
The genus contains two subgenera and the following species:[3][4]
- Tridacna noae (Röding, 1798)
Subgenus Tridacna (Tridacna)
- Tridacna derasa (Röding, 1798)
- Tridacna gigas (Linnaeus, 1758)
- Tridacna mbalavuana Ladd, 1934( =Tridacna tevoroa Lucas, Ledua & Braley, 1990)
Subgenus Tridacna (Chametrachea)
- Tridacna costata Richter, Roa-Quiaoit, Jantzen, Al-Zibdah, Kochzius, 2008
- Tridacna crocea Lamarck, 1819
- Tridacna maxima Röding, 1798( =Tridacna elongata)
- Tridacna rosewateri Sirenho & Scarlato, 1991
- Tridacna squamosa Lamarck, 1819
|Wikimedia Commons has media related to Tridacna.
An alternative older classification recognises a third subgenus Persikima containing T. derasa and T. mbalavuana.[5] Recent biochemical studies have suggested that there may exist morphologically indistinct cryptic species.[2][6]
Compared to other clams, the soft mantle that secretes the shell is greatly expanded. The clams even have small lens-like structures called ocelli through which light penetrates.[7]
Ecology and behaviour[edit]
Tridacna clams are common inhabitants of Indo-Pacific coral reef benthic communities in shallower waters.[8] They live in symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium) that grow in the mantle tissues.[9] Light penetrates the mantle through small lens-like structures called ocelli.[7] They are sessile in adulthood. By day, the clams spread out their mantle so that the algae receive the sunlight they need to photosynthesize, whereas the colour pigments protect the clam against excessive light and UV radiation. Adult clams get most (70-100%) of their nutrients from the algae and the rest from filter feeding.[10] When disturbed, the clam closes its shell. The popular opinion that they pose danger to divers who get trapped or injured between the closing sharp-edged shell is not very real, as the closing reaction is quite slow. Their large size and easy accessibility has caused overfishing and collapse of the natural stocks in many places and extirpation in some of the species.[11] They are being sustainably farmed in some areas,[12] both for the seafood market in some Asian countries and for the aquarium trade.[13]
Tridacna clams can produce large white pearls with an undulating, porcelain-like surface,[14] which may be described as "non-nacreous pearls". The "Pearl of Lao Tzu", also known as the "Pearl of Allah", is the world's largest pearl weighing 6.4 kilogrammes; it was said to have been found inside a Tridacna gigas by a Filipino diver in 1934.[15][16]
Artistic use[edit]
Over a hundred examples of carved Tridacna shells have been found in archaeological expeditions from Italy to the Near East. Similar in artistic style, they were probably produced in the mid-seventh century, made or distributed from the southern coast of Phoenicia. The backs and interior perimeters of the shells show animal, human, and floral motifs, while the interiors typically show recumbent sphinxes. The umbo of the shell is in the shape of a human female or bird's head. They were probably used to store eye cosmetics.[17]

There is one very brief sex scene between Kym and the best man. It takes place in a dark room in silhouette form, with no visible nudity, and only lasts for several seconds. There is a reference to pedophilia, although it is proved to be false. Kym takes a bath, though most of her breasts remained covered. Skimpy dancers wear nothing more than bikini-type outfits, while suggestively dancing.
Kym confronts her mom about why the latter left her in charge of her younger brother knowing full well that Kym was a drug addict. Her mom defends that by saying Kym was so good with him, but Kym is upset about that past, fateful decision. The two argue about that, with mom then impulsively punching Kym in the face (leaving her with a black eye later), followed by another hit.
16 "f" words, 7 "s" words, 1 slang term using male genitals ("c*cks*cker"), 3 asses, 3 damns, 2 hells.
Kym is constantly smoking on a cigarette. She also attends "12-Step" meetings for rehab, and we hear about her drug addiction history. There is constant talk of her previous drug and alcohol addiction, though it is noted that she has been sober for 9 months. Many wedding guests also drink wine both at the rehearsal dinner and at the reception.
Upset about a confrontation with her mom, Kym storms out and on the way home purposefully drives her car off the road, crashing through brush and such until running into a tree. The air bag deploys, but she's okay.

Skip to comments.Fred Thompson: Who Dropped the Dime on Cain?
Posted on 11/03/2011 12:31:01 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
......Days after I got into the presidential race in 2007, I was greeted with a website, PhoneyFred.org, described in the media at the time as an anti Fred Thompson smear site. You couldnt really tell who was behind it, but we learned of it from the Democratic National Committee, which made ample use of it. We assumed that they had created it. However, a reporter at the Washington Post (of all people) decided to find out who was behind the site. After a lot of effort, she traced it to an executive of TTS Strategies, a South Carolina consulting firm run by J. Warren Tompkins, one of the most notorious hardball political operatives in the country.
Politicians of opposing campaigns were known to get what was called the Warren Treatment. He ran George W. Bushs 2000 campaign, in which anonymous flyers and telephone calls accused John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child with a black woman.
In 2007, he was running Mitt Romneys campaign in South Carolina, where Mitt was behind the rest of us in the polls. Of course, when confronted, both Tompkins and Mitt were shocked to learn that a rogue employee (who ran Tompkinss office) was running such a website (out of the office), and the site was taken down immediately. One of the more benign and amusing things the site accused me of was being a flip flopper. I kid you not.
This doesnt mean that Mitt is behind the Herman Cain hit piece. Id like to think that he and his extensive staff, many of them with training in the political dark arts has learned....

Rudy Giuliani asked Mitt Romney the same question in the 2008 CNN debate that Rick Perry asked him during the CNN 2011 debate -- Mitt lost it both times.

PDF: Romney's disclosure form [inc. long list of his stock holdings including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] Romney pummels, profits from Fannie, Freddie
And for the Gardasil "innocent little girls" Crowd," Romney holds Stock in Merck & Co.
My money's on Mitt
Fred, you broke my heart in 2008. We all know Perry is behind this. CW is in panic mode right now.
I will start. Give me a "P"...P. Give me a "E"....E. Give me a "R"...R. give me a "R"...R. give me a "Y"...Y. What does that spell? PERRY! What? PERRY! Easy to figure this out.
Mine too. I remember Romney's misleading ads about Huckaby.
Nope, I think it was Newt. He is defending his friend Herm today. How conveeeeeeeeeeeeeeniet!
Since then, Fred has been pushing the national popular vote and destroyed what little credibility he had left.
In 2007, he was running Mitt Romneys campaign in South Carolina, where Mitt was behind the rest of us in the polls.
In 2011, ..... Mitt is behind the rest of them in the polls.
I wonder - since Mr. Cain has said that this came up in his preparation for the Senate campaign in 2004 - was the issue raised then? Or was he merely preparing to address it if it did?
Good piece, thanks for posting it.
Newt needs to keep Herm viable through the cash bar debate in the Woodlands (Houston) this Saturday.
"He ran George W. Bushs 2000 campaign, in which anonymous flyers and telephone calls accused John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child with a black woman."
That is simply not true.
The Bush campaign would not and did not do such a thing.
Nope. Never heard of J. Warren Tompkins. Or of this Cain story. hehehe ... did you just pinch my butt?
Dropped the dime on Cain...lol. Guess the Cain folks were unsuccessful keeping this hidden under wraps. I think sunshine is a good thing.
Don't forget the obligatory hat tip to the grand-daddy of dirty politics in the modern age - Tricky Dick Nixon.
Yeah, I just noticed that on another thread. Truth is we've got the three stooges as a choice for GOP this year. Somehow someway, we need to get DeMint or Palin in the race.
good question! He has run before?
Who was the, Perry employee, Wilson working for back then.????
Nothing but silence about Mitt?
Pretty interesting thoughts from a man who has "been to the rodeo." But he let's Cain off way too easy for publicly and loudly accusing the Perry campaign, and then totally backing away from that the very next day. That to me is almost as disgraceful as leaking the story, or maybe even worse.
Why would Romney want to damage his VP candidate like this? After all you and the rest of the Perry brigade have repeatedly said that Cain was only in this to be Romney's VP.
You Perry shills are really pathetic.
let's=lets. ugh.
The Bush campaign put some flyers out on McCain about something. I remember McCain going crazier than normal.
Oldest and best way are the same ...... brokered convention, nobody has more than a plurality, and then .....
The beauty of it is, the MSM "Oppo" Liebot operations won't have any time to prepare to smear whomever the GOP nominates, and so the nominee will have a precious window of hours, maybe even a day, to define himself or herself anew, without the MoDo or HateyKatie or DrunkenDiane treatment.
He broke my heart too.
I'm a Cain guy, and I bust on wifey all the time, but tell me just how do we "know" that anita's boi toy is behind this?
If his campaign started the leak, and some one can prove it OK, but I've not seen proof.
I really don't care if it was perry, mittens or the demnoRATS, {which I doubt, because they would have held it until they saw if Herman was going to win the nomination, before dropping the story} but I'm glad it's out now and not November 2012.
Herman either will or will not overcome these allegations, and if he does, whatever doesn't kill him will make him stronger.
Cheer up, the election is a year away.
Seriously? That's pathetic. It's bad enough watching him push reverse mortgages to seniors on infomercials.
That's what he deserves.
All I know is, is that the Dimocrats are loving this. They think the real black man is in trouble and will not be of harm to their half & half in the House in the hood. This is going to hurt with a lot of folks. Cause folks to lose faith in Mr. Cain. If it was going to happen to him, better now than later, like the night before the election when GWB's DUI came out. At least if he survives this, he has time to heal it before the elections begin. I am still in his side. I hate Romney and Perry and will not vote for either.
I think 0bama's supporters would read this thread and the comments and be very happy. Their strategy is working beautifully. We egg on our candidates to tear each other apart, and 0bama gets a free pass to campaign on our tax dollars.
I guess Cain just got the boot.
Like Cain who won't find it in himself to question Romney's possible involvement (always taking his anger out on Perry), many posters here on FR will continue their coordinated assault against Rick Perry and anyone who supports him.
Jim DeMint was called one not long ago and that pissed me off and opened my eyes that a certain sect on FR are waaaay into the cult of personality thing here.
We'll get so narrow as a party we'll be crushed in November.
So help me, I am going to get (expose) those sonsabitches.
Sorry, but I think that one's interred with Drew Pearson's lying body ..... even in death, he still lies. It was his genius, to defend his fellow-traveling Communists against their detractors by smearing critics viciously, even taking hits from libel judgments and then going right back to lying about people. He was absolutely dedicated to lying.
It's logical that it's Mitt since Cain has been passing up Mitt in the polls. Who stands to benefit most from Cain gettng trashed?
When I read he supported NPV I was dismayed. One CANNOT be a Conservative and support NPV.
For Fred to not see the utter evil of NPV tells me his is an idiot. To think I gave that fool money when he was running.
I'm with you!
The only thing "coordinating" my criticism of Goodhair is you endless, up-at-dawn and post-past-midnight Perryposting.
Five o'clock in the morning! On a Sunday!
I remember a debate where GW showed a flyer to McCain, saying that they were put on cars around the area. McCain said that he had nothing to do with it. GW then asked McCain why his name was on the bottom of the flyer. "McCain for President".
W had him dead on as McCain sputtered another denial.
McCain was busted playing the same games he accused W of. It was a very cool scene.
Ha ha—a little score settling from Fred.
You're right. Now I remember. Thanks for reminding me.
So, why is Thompson lying?
Tipping my hat to Nixon, and to one of his zaniest black ops guys, G. Gordon Liddy. I just read Liddy's autobiography recently, and he was the master of dirty tricks.
Too bad he got caught!
I don't post at night -- early yes!
Drew is a legend.
MY point was the use of disinformation and dirty tricks that Nixon was infamous for using.
Nixon is used as an example in the wiki entry, for example.
Who benefits? Mitt benefits the most. The Dems also benefit — if Mitt gets the nomination, some conservatives will be disheartened enough to stay home or go third party.
McCain was busted playing the same games he accused W of. It was a very cool scene.
McCain put out a negative flier about Bush's tax plan at a time when McCain was condemning negative advertising and Bush called him on it.
That's something, but negative comments about somebody's record and personal attacks aren't the same thing.

DEFINITION of 'Mark To Management'
The theory that a good, asset/liability or service can be assigned a fair market value based not necessarily on current or historical market price but rather on the holder's assumption of what the good, asset/liability or service could potentially be worth to a buyer in either an actual or hypothetical market. It involves not only evaluating historical market pricing and external market observations but also non-observable assumptions surrounding the good, service or asset/liability based on internal information.
It is cited as a way of determining the potential value of an item, service or asset for which there currently is not an existing market or because the market is experiencing enormous volatility, making fair value assignment difficult if not impossible under standard mark to market accounting.
BREAKING DOWN 'Mark To Management'
Mark to management accounting became a hot topic of discussion regarding bank-owned "toxic assets" following the housing market collapse of 2007-2009. In the spring of '09 the Financial Accounting Services Board (FASB) agreed to "relax" its rules on mark to market accounting and lean toward a mark to management approach to asset/liability valuation. Critics charge that the move was designed to aide banks, lenders and financial services companies soften the perceived losses they incurred after the market collapse.
Charles Bowsher, former chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank System's Office of Finance, resigned his position over the FHLB's support for a mark to management approach to fair market valuation of troubled assets.

The location was perfect, the apartment was clean, modern and excellently located. There are many restaurants in the area and the beach is just 2 minutes away from the apartment.
Unfortunately the apartment wasn't prepared (even though he asked me how many people I would travel with) - the bedding had to be done by us, which was quite annoying because that way we couldn't lay down, we were too exhausted from our trip to Nice. There is NO Air Condition, even though it was listed in the facilities-list. It tends to get really hot during the day, but at night it's quite okay if you leave the windows open and the fans running all the night.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people
Salvatore was very helpful to us during our stay and the apartment was very well planned. It's really close to gare SNCF, the shopping street jean-medecin and just a 10 min walk to the beach.
The place is well equipped and really central. The light in the living room didn't work and they never came to fix it. Overall the place is really good in price-quality. If I come again to Nice I would definetly rent it again. Not good for more than 2 people.
A great place to stay - a little away from the main action in Nice but everything is close by when using the buses. Catch a bus to the in train station and before you know it you can be in Cannes, Monaco and beyond.
Balcony views across the harbour are fantastic and well worth the price - several evenings were spent with a few drinks and some cheese watching the world pass by and the waves lap at the shore.
Some excellent nearby eateries (and supermarkets) as well.
Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
It was a Perfect stay. The Apartment was very clean. Thank you for The Great tips about The City of nice
Nice is a nice City and for us was the apartment very good.
Salvatore an his cousin Stefano are very friendli. We liked them and appreciated their helpfulness really!
I have to say, the appartment was not that clean, what did not was a big problem for us. But therefore it was equipped nicely and well done up!
We liked the location because it was right at the main street!
Thank you and best regards :)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We (3 girl friends) spent a very pleasant weekend in the appartment. The terrace is spacious, the appartment in a very good condition. Everything was clean, incl. towels and bed covers.
The host couldn't meet us but his helpful and very friendly cousin. He let us in earlier so that we could leave the luggage- a big help!
The location is good, the bus from the airport stops close by and if you want to take a bus to the center it is quick and easy.
We would come back any time and recommend the appartment.

An Ex-Professor Tells the Record Industry to Go 'digitize' Itself
Artists who have tried digital recording have mixed reactions. Rock star Stephen Stills found a certain "transparency" in the sound, but adds, "The system is there. It just needs tinkering with." Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops has no reservations. "It's such good, clear, clean sound. I love it."
The pioneer in America in the new field is an MIT-trained electrical engineer and computer scientist named Thomas G. Stockham Jr. "Digital recording isn't a fad," he insists. "It's a whole new concept, like a new alphabet. It has stunning implications. Digitals will cause a music revolution."
The 45-year-old Stockham is making news with his Soundstream, Inc. of Salt Lake City. But he was no stranger to headlines before this: In 1974, during the Watergate investigation, he was one of six experts who testified on the 18½-minute gap in the Nixon tapes. He and the others agreed that the segment of conversation between the ex-President and aide H. R. Haldeman had been erased from five to nine times, although they stopped short of saying that the so-called accidental erasure was apparently deliberate.
In 1975 Stockham left his professorship at the University of Utah to set up Soundstream, which built the first successful digital recorder in the U.S. the next year. Since then other companies, like 3M and Sony, have developed rival digital systems independently.
Today Soundstream is producing digitally recorded discs for 11 record companies, and the LPs are being sold at selected stores. Though the discs look the same as conventional ones, they can be identified by the word "digital" stamped on the jacket and by their premium prices, ranging from $11 to $18.
After Thomas Edison invented the first machine to reproduce sound, the essential principles of the phonograph remained unchanged for 102 years. Conventional albums, called "analog recordings," employ minute variations in the grooves (or patterns of magnetized particles in the case of tape) to correspond to the sound waves.
The common practice in the industry is to record first on tape, where flaws in performance can be edited out before the music is transferred to discs. But all recording equipment is inherently imperfect, and each stage inevitably means variations in speed, tape noise and range.
With the "digitals," numerical values are assigned to sound waves. Subtle shadings in pitch and tone are more accurately preserved due to the electronic equipment's high-speed ability to digest great masses of numbers—as many as 50,000 per second in the Soundstream system. Since the relationship between numbers and sound remains constant, the sound can be reproduced with stunning precision. As Bob Ingebretsen, a Soundstream vice-president, puts it: "Analog recording is like looking out a dirty window. Once the window is washed, you see a different picture although the view itself has not changed. That's what digital has done for the industry."
Without doubt, digital recording enhances the reproduction of almost any orchestral performance and that of soloists with multidimensional voices. Another plus is that the new discs can be played on ordinary stereos, and the improvement is obvious even with a basic $400 system. While digitals will not necessarily make conventional records obsolete, the question is whether fussy listeners will want to play their old library after hearing digitals. Or whether performers will be content any longer with analog recordings of their work. One record company official admitted: "Someone like Streisand will badger the hell out of her studio to get her a digital system once she hears what the wonder machine can do."

A school district website that I'm developing has a need for a "school finder" tool similar to this:
Any suggestions? They essentially just want a list of all the schools in the district and a search box at the top that filters the list.
All leads and suggestions are more than appreciated. Thanks!!
