I have discovered a new way to influence women. It involves a male hobby and guidance on how to choke the bishop.When you have sexual relations with a girlie, at the point of ejacule – a few seconds before the money shot – stop all contact with your #$%$. Let it dribble for 10 seconds. Then grab it and bash away til you come again. This will impress the girlie as she will remark "That's a lot of come, isn't it"This is the sure fire way to get her to eat your come one day, after impressing her. Trust me.On a totally unrelated subject, I wish Dennis Wise all the very best at Leeds.

I'm curious if anyone knows what Spencer does for a living. He has a nice car and buys Heidi super expensive gifts but is crashing with his sister and doesn't have his own place. I've never heard them talk about it on the show but I could have missed something.
Does Spencer have a job?

You know I have been wondering the same thing. I wana know how all these spoiled brats do it lol. Even heidi has seemed to always live a carefree expensive lifestyle and her family doesnt seem to be rich. not that they seem poor but for allt he expnsive stuff she has / and done in cali even prior to her nice job. must be nice lol
Mommy to Parker 10-2-07 & Ryker 10-2-09
I think he was asked this last year for a mag. And he said he attends school full time. And his parents pay for his stuff.
Well now he is Heidi's manager so that probably brings some cash in.
Mommy to Grant Charles 10-5-07 & Gage Robert 6-29-13
Stepmama to Trinity 5-9-99
Yeah I wondered that too because they show the girls at work and all but never the guys.
When he was fighting with Stephanie she asked him if he had looked for a job yet and he said he was going the next day, I think. So, I guess he doesn't work, but plans on getting a job? I know he's Heidi's manager, but really does that bring in much money? lol
Well I think they get some $ from the show of course and then his dad is a well known dentist I believe. As for Heidi she has her "job" at bolthouse but also her parents seem to be well off...They live up in the mountians of CO I think Breckenridge (which isn't cheap) and own a nice Restaurant.

Skill Level Beginner
The big reason to use Bookify over Blurb's other bookmaking methods is that Bookify was designed to be a quick way to make a photo book. One thing that makes Bookify quick is that if you're using photos straight out of the digital camera, you usually won't have to do anything to prepare those photos for Bookify. That's because most consumer-level digital cameras produce photos that natively meet all of Bookify's few image requirements. Those are: that an image be no larger than 10 MB in file size in order to upload; that an image be in either the JPEG or PNG format, and for photos that usually means JPEG; that and image be in the RGB color mode.
Color mode is a method of describing digital color and RGB is the most common color mode in photos taken with a digital camera. Since most photos that a nonprofessional shoots will probably pass those tests, rather than spend time up front worrying about whether your photos meet the requirements and trying to prepare them, it's way more efficient to just upload photos to Bookify and let it tell you if there's a problem with a particular photo. Now here I have some photos that I know aren't compliant with Bookify's image requirements.
And I'm looking at these files in Adobe Bridge. I will select this one, and I can see over here in the Metadata panel that this file fails the size test. It is larger than 10 MB so it won't upload. This file fails the format test; it is not a JPEG or a PNG. Over in the Metadata panel, I can see from the file extension that this is a DNG file, which is a kind of raw file. If you do shoot raw files, you have to convert them to JPEGs in order to use them Bookify.
And this file, although it is a JPEG and it does meet the file size requirement, is not in the RGB color mode. Here I can see that it's a CMYK file. This is unlikely to occur, but it's possible. Perhaps a designer was working with this file and converted it to CMYK. So let's see what Bookify does with these noncompliant files. Here on the Blurb website, on the Bookify page, I will go down and I will start a new book by clicking Get Started. I will choose a size for the book. I'm going to choose the 10X8 inch book, the Standard Landscape size, and I will choose the first Starter style, Clean and Simple, that has full bleed images on every page.
On this screen, I will get those files from my computer by clicking From my computer, clicking OK here to dismiss that tip, and going to the subfolder and selecting the files that I want to upload to Bookify. Now right away, you can see what happens when you try to upload a file that's in a format other than JPEG or PNG. I simply can't select it at all. So, I can't use it right out of the door with Bookify. But it looks like I can select the CMYK file and the file that's more than 10 MB in file size.
So I'll click on one, I will hold down the Command key on the Mac, Ctrl key on the PC, select the other as well, and click Open. And the file start to upload. But then, I get this error message from Bookify. It tells me that two of my images could not be added. I only had two to start with and here it gives me the specific reasons. Well, I already knew that this file was too big and that's the reason given here. The error message for the CMYK file is less clear, but I know that that's the only thing wrong with that file, so that's got to be the reason.
So, I will click OK here, and let's exit out of Bookify and see how to solve those particular problems. First, let's talk about that file that's too large in file size. You can reduce the file size of an image in Adobe Photoshop, in Photoshop Elements, or even when you're exporting from Lightroom. I am going to do it in Adobe Photoshop. I will open the file in Photoshop and in Photoshop I will go to the Image menu and down to Image Size. I see that the resolution is set to 300 pixels/inch, which is the maximum resolution you can have in a Bookify file.
So, I'll leave that at 300. If this was set to less than 300, I would uncheck Resample Image here, type in 300, and then check Resample Image. I do want to leave Resample Image checked for what I'm about to do, which is to reduce the width and height of the image, and that will make the file size smaller. I know that the width of my entire book is only 10 inches wide. So I certainly don't need the image to be any wider than 10 inches. In fact, I probably need it to be even more narrow than that, but I will take the maximum width and type it in this box, and the Height field changes proportionately.
I will go down and choose the method Photoshop is going to use to downsize this file. Bicubic Sharper is best for reducing files. And then I will click OK. I'll save the downsized file. File>Save As, I will save on my desktop. I will make sure the format is still JPEG and I'll click Save. I am going to leave the Quality at 10, but if I did need to say more file size, I could come back in and do this again and try reducing the quality. And I will click OK.
Now when I go out to my desktop, I see the reduced file and if I select it and then Ctrl or Right-click on the icon for the file and choose Get Info, I can see that I have a file that is now way smaller than 10 MB. It's now only 2.6 MB. So that's how you reduce file size in an image using Adobe Photoshop. What about this file that's in the wrong color mode, the CMYK file? I am going to open that one in Photoshop too so that I can convert it to be RGB color mode.
To do that, I will just go up to the Image menu, down to Mode, and I will select RGB Color. And now, I can see in the tab for this file that is an RGB file, and I would save it again. I will go back to Bridge to show you what to do with the file that's in the wrong format. Now, if this were a format like TIFF or PSD, I would just open it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and save a copy as a JPEG, or I would export a copy from Lightroom as a JPEG. But because this is a raw file, I need to open it in a raw converter, to save it as a JPEG.
I will double click it and it will open in Adobe Camera Raw, which is the raw converter that comes with Photoshop and other Adobe Creative Suite applications. I am not going to bother with any of the settings. I am just going to go to Save Image. I will save it to my desktop and I will make sure the format here is set to JPEG. I will leave the Quality around 10 and I will click Save. Then I will cancel out of this window, and then I will go out to my desktop. There is the file that was a raw file; it's now a JPEG, so I can upload it to Bookify.
So, that's how to troubleshoot files that aren't compliant with Bookify's image requirements in the rare event that you're working with a photo that Bookify has trouble with.

Their goal was to create a smaller kite that is low-cost, strong, trickable and easy to handle in a wide wind range but most of all a lot of fun to fly. It turned out to be quite precise with a nice feedback on the lines. It is capable of most tricks and has a stable fade and backflip.

I tried to use an img tag, but the < are converted so it won't work. Is there a workaround for this without me having to hack some file? I'd rather use the link administration that write that part manually.

Neil Lennon will manage Scott Brown's ongoing hip injury with a view to helping the Celtic skipper be ready for Scotland's crunch 2014 World Cup qualifiers next month.
Craig Levein was unable to use the 27-year-old midfielder for the Scots' opening two home qualifiers against Serbia and Macedonia but the former Hibernian player has appeared in Celtic's last three matches.
The Hoops boss will leave Brown out of Tuesday night's Scottish Communities League Cup third-round clash with Irn-Bru First Division side Raith Rovers at Parkhead. Lennon said: "We feel it is an opportunity to give him a free week. We should have enough cover. There are a lot of games coming up and he needs rest after three games in a week."
However, Lennon is also keen to see his on-form captain return to Levein's squad for Scotland's away double-header in Wales and Belgium next month.
"We will try to base his programme around playing for us, obviously and making sure he is fit for Scotland as well," Lennon added. "We don't discourage players playing for their country.
"Obviously Celtic come first in my priorities but I know Scotland have two big games coming up next month and Scott will want to play in both of them. I just hope we can manage him to be able to play in them."
Despite giving Brown the night off for the visit of Raith, Lennon was keen to stress how serious he was taking the threat of the Kirkcaldy men.
Celtic have lost in the last two finals of the competition against Rangers and Kilmarnock respectively, and the former Northern Ireland international is looking to make it third time lucky.
"All these early games are loaded with potential upsets and I don't want to be one of them," he said. "It is a game we are not taking lightly and I can't imagine I will be making too many changes if I can avoid it. I will put a strong team out. I would like to get to the final of the competition again and go one better.
"I had Raith watched at the weekend. They are a decent First Division side but with (manager) John McGlynn going (in the summer) it is a wee bit of a transitional period for them but they are decent opposition for us. It took us a while to break Dundee down (at the weekend) and what we have to be mindful of is not to getting sloppy and complacent."

"You're the Admiral!" is a technology-oriented, partially-guided discussion and role-playing game. Based on the old "What Starship Would You Send?" threads on r.a.s.t., participants assume the role of a Rear-Admiral in Starfleet. They are given authority over a sector of space, with orders to demonstrate and enforce Federation policy as best they can. Starting from a map of the sector and an outline describing the planets, inhabitants, and interested governments in the region, the Admiral must assemble a fleet of ships, and then deploy them according to circumstances that develop. It became a great platform for discussions about technology, politics, and even philosophy in Star Trek.
The games are still occasionally in progress, too! Hop on over to the Flare Forums and feel free to join the fun!
- Sector Alpha (by Mark Nguyen)
- Expand Starfleet's presence in the region, foster a new Federation member candidate, keep the locals from ripping each other to shreds, and make sure you don't get caught by surprise by the unknown alien threat in a nearby sector!
- Sector Beta (by Mark Nguyen)
- Klingons and Romulans and Borg, oh my! (No Borg, actually — really!) Rebuild the Ulian infrastructure, patronize local anti-technology colonists, and keep abreast of Klingon internal politics. The neighboring Driian Empire is rumored to possess weapons of mass destruction — should you send in weapons inspectors, or launch a massive invasion?
- Sector Gamma (by Mark Nguyen)
- Cardassian renegades, potential Prime Directive violations, and personnel management. Isn't being an Admiral fun? (Incomplete)
- Sector Redux (by Dan Carlson)
- A shorter scenario to introduce SCN members to the "YtA!" format. Foster a new Federation member and face down arrogant Tholians.
- Sector Epsilon (by Dan Carlson)
- A quiet, out-of-the-way sector is in the process of rebuilding after the Dominion War. Nothing exciting happening here, right? Bwahahaha!
- Sector Zeta, Part I (TOS) (by Dan Carlson)
- Face down with the Klingons in this historical scenario set in the year 2265. Let's see whether hindsight really is 20/20!
- Sector Zeta, Part II (Movie) (by Dan Carlson)
- A precarious balance of power has developed in a new era of peace. Can you preserve the peace, or will there be a new war with the Klingons...?
- Sector Eta, Part I (pre-TNG) (by Dan Carlson)
- The year is 2350. Pioneer a new frontier for colonization by the Federation, but watch out for the Cardassians on your back doorstep! (Incomplete)

- Take control of a sector where everyone wants you to do things their way. Oh, and have you ever played chicken with a Gorn?
- Sobchak Sector (by Chris St. John)
- Take a trip through history! Stare down Klingons across the border, fend off annoying pirates, and keep track of your starship assets. Did I mention there's a nebula that leaves a big blind spot on your doorstep, too? (Incomplete)
- Kedmar Sector (by Dan Carlson)
- A quiet, out-of-the-way sector with a new Federation member, a bourgeoning colony, some xenophobes... and a natural disaster just waiting to happen.

About Me
Live my life - contentedly and expectantly - and share it with others
Hey there! I'm Charlotte, 22 years old and just moved to Bodø for an exchange year at the university of Nordland. Especially as I'm not travelling myself at the moment I'm always looking for adventures in my new surroundings (maybe the time with you will become one of those!). There are so many new things to discover... mountain tops, nice cafes or nice spots in the nature.
In the world there are so many things one haven't done yet and so many places one haven't seen yet. Reason enough to travel as much as possible and share my time with people all over the world! I'm an open-minded, kind and easy-going person and would consider myself as a passionate traveler. I love to be adventurous, spontaneous and I'm interested in other people's way of life, the stories they have to tell and experiences they have to share. Hope to see you someday!
Be satisfied with what life gives you. Every experience is worth it in it's own way, often you just have to change the perspective you're looking at it.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing made traveling even more enjoyable. There's no better idea than sharing your time and experiences with other people!
Photography, traveling, ballet, swimming, cycling, snowboarding, trying to teach myself the guitar, being creative, meeting friends & making new ones and trying to put my ideas and dreams into action.

It was at least 3 weeks. They filled out the description and it was horrible. They had grammatical errors that made the ad sound like a joke. Instead of coil overs they put coil lovers. We immediately made changes to the ad.
A week later I went to yahoo auctions and they did not have our updated info we filled in for the ad. It was their original ad. Look carefully at yahoo auctions. Most of the cars and trucks on yahoo are from one stop motors. Look again, do you even see anyone bidding on yahoo auctions. You might find one or two. They promised to sell our truck quickly. They said they have a 97 percent success rate in the first 3 weeks.
The only calls we have received on our truck are from one stop motors. They don't appear to share information with each other. Since we gave them our money, we have received 9 plus calls from them offering to sell our truck. How insulting is it to have given a company over $400 to sell you truck and then to find out they don't even know they are selling it for you. Doesn't give you that warm fuzzy does it.
If anyone else is going after this company and needs a witness or testamony, I am willing. Don't use this company.

The salesman even wrote Jay's name and phone number on the manual he left behind for me.
After a few weeks passed. I did not receive my gift card, so I called ATT UVerse (1-800-288-2020) from Apr 14 through April 18. I spoke with Al, Michele, and Jeremy, all of whom promised to speak to their supervisor and call me back. I received no return phone calls and when I asked to speak to their supervisor each of them told me the same thing, "My supervisor is in a meeting."
Finally today after calling the fourth day, Abbey of the Rewards part of ATT informed me that I would not be getting a gift card because it was not documented on my U-verse Service Order completed by the door to door salesman.
I have called Jay Perkins the ATT Branch Sales Mgr several times, but he too has refused to return my calls.

My Great Outdoors: Victoria's Roof Deck Vegetable Patch
How did you create it? We were limited in what we could grow by both the space itself and the weather conditions. As the roof deck is a shared space, we stuck with smaller containers so that they can easily be moved around (and taken indoors in inclement weather.)
Most of the plants were started from very small seedlings or direct from seed indoors. I love the history and diversity of heirloom plants, so I attempted to choose as many heirloom varieties as possible. Although a few of the plants aren't really best suited to containers, I always figure that it can't hurt to try. I also had to include a catnip plant for the future enjoyment of my own kitty, Rudy!
There are also a few smaller pots that I have put on the actual deck. Three of these are extra special to me because they are cuttings of my mom's bay leaf and fig trees that I carried on the plane with me from Southern California after a recent visit home.
On the roof, it can get quite windy (especially during late spring/early summer) so we arranged plants so that the more resistant and established ones (like our large tomatoes and cucumber) shield the smaller, newer plants (our basil and catnip.)
Recommended store, site, product or resource? Seed Savers Exchange (seedsavers.org) is an excellent resource for learning about and purchasing heirloom seeds. In the Cambridge area, Pemberton Farms stocks seedlings of many heirloom tomato varieties (this is where I purchased my Cherokee Purple and Black From Tula seedlings) as well as herbs, vegetables, and flowers. For general supplies, Home Depot is always a good place to look.

Shortstop Michael Handel's home run was the University of Minnesota (16-10, 4-4 Big Ten) baseball team's only score in an 8-1 loss at Michigan on Saturday. The Wolverines (14-16-1, 4-4 Big Ten) took the lead in the first inning and kept it the rest of the game to tie the weekend series.
Handel hit 2-for-4 on the day, hitting his second home run of the year to left field in the eighth inning. By that time, the Wolverines had scored six of their eight runs. Michigan had 11 hits in the game, while the Gophers had eight hits and two errors.
Travis Maezes led off the game with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Kyle Jusick's hit to center. The Gophers started their second inning the same way, with a walk by right fielder Bobby Juan and a sacrifice bunt by left fielder Troy Traxler, but did not score.
Michigan scored two unearned runs in the second. Eric Jacobson reached on an error and scored on a Maezes single. Harrison Wenson, who was hit by a Jordan Jess pitch, scored on a sacrifice fly that made the second out.
Minnesota's best scoring threat against left-handed starter Evan Hill came in the fourth inning. Singles by first baseman Dan Olinger (2-for-4) and Handel started the inning. Traxler walked with one out to load the bases. But two outs in the infield ended the opportunity.
A two-run home by Jackson Lamb (3-for-4) and an RBI double by Jacobson gave Michigan a 6-0 lead in the fifth, with Tyler Hanson pitching.
Handel's home run off right-handed reliever Keith Lehmann cut the lead to 6-1, but the Wolverines tacked on two more in the bottom of the inning, the first runs given up by Neal Kunik this season.
Hill (2-3) gave up five hits and four walks in 6 2/3 scoreless innings to earn the win. Jess (0-5) took the loss after a four-inning outing in which he gave up four hits, three walks and three runs (one earned).
Minnesota and Michigan will finish their series on Sunday with a 12 p.m. CDT game at the Wilpon Complex.

Roy is not the only one in charge of selling players, make no mistake about that. If Torres/Reina/Gerrard name were to be inquired be sure someone above him is certainly going to be involved.Saying they are pals, and he would just sell away would almost be cause for treason... it can't happen, it won't happen. Not to mention, despite the fact that fergie and roy boy may have had an amicable relationship over the years, after the most recent game at Old Trafford, Ferguson took many swipes at Liverpool, their play, and Torres... and rightly so, Hodgson did defend his club. I find it hard to believe you can be friends with that man any longer than you have to unless you are superior to him, as Jose was, Ancelotti currently is, or if you were a former player like his little lackies allardyce, bruce, keane etc etc. Nobody else gives a crap what he has to say..
I heard a rumor today that we are going to send Gerrard to Manchester United in January on a free loan deal...It's also been suggested we may do a straight swap, Gary Neville for Glen Johnson...This will all be publicly announced once NESV appoints Alex Ferguson as the new head chairman to replace Martin Broughton at LFC..
