I like girls who like dresses with pockets.
But that's not vital to the kind of relationship I'm looking for.
108 Dealbreakers.
1. I need your nose to crinkle at the top when you laugh at me or smile at my seriousness. (I need you never to take me too seriously)
2. I need you to try and make out with me in a car, which I don't like because people could see in and I'm protective, but Mumford & Sons is on the radio and you want me to love them. (I need you to delight in following your wilder instincts for ordinary love)
Click image for link.
3. I need you to want to go for a run if I'm busy working and not bother me, because you're independent and not clingy. (I need some space—it's both relaxing and stimulating)
Click image for link.
4. I need you to have your own center of gravity. Be powerful. (I need you to meditate, or find your true, empty nature through some form of meditation in action)
Click image for link.
5. Despite your center of gravity, your independence, your power, I need you to be confident enough to be vulnerable: to not only need me, and be okay needing me. (and, vice versa—I need you to be okay with my being vulnerable, which I am)
Click image for link.
6. Okay: I only have 5. (We can't have more than five, or we're the problem)

Bobby Fischer Against the World
Dir. Liz Garbus (2011). A haunting portrait of the chess genius as an incandescent prodigy and horrifying old crank, Garbuss documentary devotes most of its first hour to the Spassky match and tactfully handles Fischers decline. The ranting codger never effaces the image of the boy concentrating his entire being over a chessboard.

Project Snapshot Template
I have always approached creative and personal writing not as "natural talents" that students either have or don't have, but rather as skills that can be learned and developed. The more deeply and consciously students use writing processes to explore themselves and their lives, the more deep and rich their writing becomes.

elon is holding around 3-fity. is that the low and we need to pump more money into this pos?it is better than buying at 30+ as some have. And this is 1/10 that price. good investment or not?oh, management hasn't shown any interest in the company in years. if they will not invest, why should others? that is the question. does management think this company will succeed? APPAERENTLY not. are they just sitting and waiting for their free options? don't see any signed contracts. did they lose their pens and so they can't sign? what in the world are they doing? i know; they are drafting long and extensive pr to be posted on the web for all to see how forward thinking and aggressive they are in this industry. how sales will be over the top and everyone will want to buy this like the fools who are buying facebook. should be interesting.just more gibberish from a poor elon loser.what i say is true, unless it is not.
"Holding"?? This thing is holding like a bowling ball on a water slide.

A Hood River citizen helped police nab a suspect during a chase down West Cascade Avenue on the morning of March 9.
After spotting Hood River County Detective Gerry Tiffany running after an unknown man, Randy Paasch decided to help. He immediately jumped out of his vehicle and tackled Mario Carlos Aguilar, 23, of Los Angeles, Calif., in the parking lot of the Cascade Commons Shopping Center. Police later learned that Aguilar was wanted on an oustanding warrant from Colorado on prior larceny charges.
"For him (Randy) to get involved like that took a lot of courage and I think it was great," said Tiffany.
While Tiffany's chase was underway, Community Resource Officer Aaron Jubitz had corraled the second suspect at the northern corner of Columbia River Bank where the pair had allegedly been attempting to cash stolen payroll checks. Within moments other city and county officers converged on the scene, although by that time the four to five other males who were believed to be involved in the crime had already fled.
Both Aguilar and Eric Garcilazo, 22, of Commerce, Calif., were arrested for their alleged attempt to cash checks taken from a trucking company based in Klickitat County. According to police reports, both gave false names at the time of their arrest but were later identified at NORCOR by fingerprints registered in a state data base.
"This was a case of community policing in action and that is the keystone to the future success of law enforcement in Hood River" said City Police Chief Tony Dirks.
Tiffany, who was off-duty at the time of the incident, said he happened to be driving by the bank when dispatch alerted police about the suspect activity. About that same time Jubitz pulled up to the scene and the group of young males in front of the bank bolted -- and so did the two suspects who had been standing at the driveup window attempting to make the false transaction.
City Officer Dan Garcia said both suspects, who had been staying in The Dalles, were found to be carrying six other checks with false identification matching the names listed on those bank notes. He said evidence collected in the pair's motel room appears to tie them to a theft ring in The Dalles that cashed between $12,000-$40,000 of stolen checks from the same trucking company on March 8. The Dalles police department confirmed that Aguilar and Garcilazo appear to be involved in both cases and an investigation is underway.
The two men were arraigned on Monday in Hood River Circuit Court on six counts of possession of forged identification, three counts of forgery, and three counts of attempted theft.

The happy, well-fed customers who visit the publically-accessible parts of your restaurant or club have only the vaguest idea of what goes on in the kitchen. They'd likely be shocked by just how much time your staff has to spend cleaning. If you'd like to cut down on that amount of time – and improve your kitchen's overall cleanliness – then Kitchen Soak Tanks are well worth your consideration.
How Soak Tanks Work
A soak tank is an innovative way to streamline your kitchen cleaning process and cut down on the time and labor involved in cleaning all sorts of metal containers. Soak tanks let your immense pots, trays, grills, baskets, and even hood filters in a sealed water tank. Waterproof heating elements take the tanks up to 85 degrees Celsius for several hours, allowing environmentally-friendly cleaning agents to break down even the toughest grease and carbon.
Soak tanks are the next-generation solution to keeping the hardest-working equipment in your kitchen clean. They save on labor, extend the life of many different valuable types of equipment, and reduce your overall costs significantly. They'll also help to get rid of the bottleneck in the workflow of your kitchen staff that time-consuming cleaning procedures often cause.
Advantages Of Soak Tanks
Some of the benefits of using a soak tank have already been noted above. To expand further on the subject, you're likely quite familiar with the fact that pot scrubbing is one of the most loathed, labor-intensive, and time-consuming jobs in the kitchen. Soak tanks use technology to replace elbow grease, doing the job faster, cheaper, and more effectively.
Besides saving you money immediately by reducing labor costs (and boosting morale), soak tanks will also save you in the long term. By keeping a lot of valuable equipment cleaner than ever before, you can dramatically extend its overall lifetime and reduce the frequency of which you require replacements. Equipment that's cleaned more frequently and thoroughly will also deliver better results throughout its extended lifetime.
Purchase Vs. Rental
Like most dependable pieces of commercial-grade kitchen equipment, soak tanks aren't cheap. If you'd like to minimize the cost of installing one in your kitchen – or simply try one out before committing to an expensive purchase – you may be able to rent one on a monthly basis. Most vendors who offer this service also integrate regular service so that your maintenance and restocking requirements are virtually nonexistent.
Of course, once you're convinced of the benefits of soak tanks, you'll likely be ready to invest in buying one of these powerful cleaning tools for your kitchen. You'll find that despite the relative novelty of soak tank technology, the equipment produced by most manufacturers is already incredibly robust. Useful, trouble-free lifespans of ten years or more are the rule rather than the exception. This ensures that you'll get your money's worth out of a purchased soak tank.
There are few commercial kitchens that wouldn't benefit from the installation of a soak tank. They're available in many different sizes and capacities, and installation and training are a snap. Why not step up to a higher standard of cleanliness today?

look at the bases of the pieces. I do some woodworking with my father, and I know he would look at the bases of the pieces as well as any markings beneath the box (or board if there is one) and maybe beneath the pieces for a company mark. Nice mahogany fingerjoint box, btw.
I like the newspaper articles.
Do they have felt on the bottom? If so you may get a better eyeball on the wood underneath. I think I read that sometimes under the kings there may be a makers mark (i could very well be WRONG. Golden Dog may know for sure)
it might be the case with guns etc....you definetly cannot ruin these pieces by putting clear laquer on them.
In the long run,it will stop moisture coming in ,so to speak
thanks for your input guys
thanks for your help fellows
there is 'FRANCE' stamped on the bottom
No felt under the pieces
they are not weighted
the underparts of all the pieces are just circular ,as they look when turned on a lathe I guess. No markings ...
I agree, the newspaper clippings do not mean that the pieces are from that time...but...they could be :-)
and also to have newspaper clippings from chessgames played in 1929 , is also pretty awesome isnt it ?
Nice looking set. I'm jealous
I agree--it's a very nice looking set, in a well-made box, and the pieces are a little different from the standard mass-produced wood sets. If it's from France, it could have been made by Lardy, possibly a more high-end set from that company. The view looking at the "face" of the knight makes me think that's probably true--kind of a distinctive "goofy" facial expression.
What is the size of the pieces?
I also agree it's not likely to have a significant monetary value. Varnishing or lacquering the pieces isn't a problem--if you like the shiny look and want to protect the wood, it's fine.
Where did you find the set? Did the previous owner have any information about it?
Unfortunately, chess sets were produced by so many companies for such a large market that it's really hard to track down a specific date or maker. People who bought them bought them to play with, and didn't keep that kind of information.
The guy who sold them to me wasnt asking a lot of money
he merely said he has had it a long time & doesnt play anymore.
I liked the 'look' of the pieces ,thats why i bought them.
The King is about +- 9cm high (could be 10cm) id have to measure it.
Think i will find some ebony & make a nice board for them....
problem is I travel quite a bit...so i either have to sell them because if i make a 'travel' board it will still take up some space
Don't use ebony; you'll need to put on an expensive finish (can't remember what it's called right now) because of the oils in the wood. I'd use Peruvian walnut (almost as dark as ebony) or mahogany (same wood as box) with maple (very similar grain pattern to walnut and looks nice with it) or cherry (this will obtain a faint reddish hue with the right color and looks nice paired with mahogany.) But, that's just my input. It's ultimately your choice in the end.
Judging from the knight heads they look French and I would say first half of the 20th century. I'm saying this because it's the same way we date Régence sets like this one http://www.tykroll.com/chess/boxwoodregence.html with heads that are made in the same way. I know they were making Stuanton and St George pieces with the same knight heads around that time. It's just a guess. Neither set is worth anything.
My guess from the shape of the Bishops is that they are by Lardy of France. As a former master cabinetmaker and collector of chess pieces it would have been better to use paste wax than laquer. As to age, I think 1920's is reasonable.

Developed by authors with more than 50 years of teaching experience between them, Approaching Literature has been designed as a true alternative to more traditional literature anthologies. The authors conceived this anthology with three principles in mind: (1) that exposing students to the widest array of literature can help every one find common ground with that literature; (2) that contemporary literary works can serve as entry points to reading and appreciating the canonical literature that students often find unfamiliar, intimidating, and sometimes irrelevant; and (3) that the instruction in reading and writing about literature should be accessible and jargon-free to all students, not just potential English majors. With its streamlined and student-friendly instructional text, and its ongoing commitment to showcasing the most engaging and diverse literary works publishing right now, Approaching Literature is built from the ground up with today's students in mind.

- 1st overall, Finn, 2011-12 ISAF Sailing World Cup series
- 7th overall, 2014 Finn World Championship (Finn Gold Cup)
- Bronze, ISAF Sailing World Cup Final, 2015
Caleb Paine, 25, (San Diego, Calif.) grew up in southern California, and inherited in father's love of sailing at an early age. Together with his younger brother Olin, Paine sailed anything he could get his hands on in San Diego as a kid, and devoted himself to mastering the one-person Sabot junior class of boat. Deciding earlier than most to pursue an Olympic dream, Paine skipped a traditional campus-based college experience in favor of a life on the high-performance sailing path.
In early March 2016, the Rio 2016 Selection Series in the Finn class (Men's Heavyweight Dinghy) came to a memorable conclusion at the Finn European Championship (March 7-12) in Barcelona. Paine came from behind to win his first career U.S. Olympic Sailing Team berth over Beijing 2008 silver medalist Zach Railey (Clearwater, Fla.) who came out of retirement in late 2015.
Paine is a Sailing World Cup Series Champion, and has been the top-ranked American Finn sailor since 2012. He began his Finn dinghy career in the period preceding the London 2012 Olympic Games as Railey's training partner, and the two athletes challenged each other for much of the past six years. "One of the main reasons I'm as competitive as I am now is because of Zach's talent and abilities. He pushed me to where I am," said Paine. "He's one of the fiercest competitors you'll find on any racecourse, and I have a lot of respect for what he's accomplished. My training with Zach started me on the right path, and I'm thankful for that. I'll always be grateful for his early mentorship."
"I want to win a gold medal," said Paine. "Fortunately, the [selection series] was challenging. Team USA selection is just a small piece of the bigger picture, which is to win gold."

Few things things inspire us to get moving like an Olympic athlete. Kerri Walsh, two-time gold medalist and mom, shares her favorite workout gear. Being properly equipped can make or break a workout, and we know Walsh spends a lot of time training, so she's really got the insiders scoop.
Workout cloths should be comfortable and practical. "It is important that the clothing is made with a dry fit material to help with sweat," Walsh says. But they don't have to be frumpy. "When I am not feeling cute, I wear leggings to work out. I really love cropped leggings and a tank. Oh, and you cannot forget a good sports bra!" (more…)
Who hasn't been inspired watching Olympic athlete Kerri Walsh and her beach volleyball partner, Misty May-Treanor pounce their way on the sand as they blaze by opponents like Cuba in just a 36-minute game?
It's their athleticism and their physical shape that is so captivating about this dynamic duo. It is one thing to see skinny models lying around on the beach in a bikini, but it's a whole different sight to watch women in world-class physical shape with real muscles and real physical prowess competing in a sport that is just as fun (and difficult) to play as it is to watch. So what does it take to have tightened and tone midsection like volleyball queen, Walsh? A lot. But don't be discouraged. She has let us in on a few of her secrets that keep her 6-foot-3-inch body looking and feeling amazing. In addition to practicing on the volleyball court, three hours a day, Walsh also practices pilates three days a week. She feels that it has given her greater flexibility, strength and stability.
Her favorite pilates move is called The Teaser. Here's how to do it:
1) Lie on your back against a flat and smooth surface, like a yoga mat. 2) Reach your arms over your head and place them on the floor behind you. 3) Roll your torso up as you extend your legs about 45 degrees in the air. As you do this, bring your hands to your toes. 4) Roll back down and repeat 3-5 times. Remember to stay in tune with your breath as you perform The Teaser. Inhale as you come up and exhale as you come down. Keep lifting up through your core and extending through the front of your chest. Also, try not to let you chin dip. Keep your gaze looking forward and your neck elongated.
Practicing this move a few times a week may not win you a gold medal, but it will firm up your tummy and create a more sculpted and refined look. And with plenty of beach days still ahead of us, that bikini will never look better on you.

Sachin Tendulkar : The living legendExcellence. Perseverance. Focus. Determination. Sincerity. A rock solid combination of mind and body. That's Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar for you.He is sent on earth to rule the cricket world and we know how well he rules his kingdom. This terrific batsman holds more than 50 records today and is still going strong. Hailed as the greatest cricketer ever, Sachin just does not let his charisma fade away even after being on crease for more than 20 years. He is a living example for all the aspirants in their respective fields on how to stay focused and excel in whatever you do, whenever you do it.
Sachin was born in Mumbai on 24th April 1973. His mother, Rajni, working in insurance and his father, Ramesh Tendulkar, an acclaimed Marathi poet, named him after their favourite music director; S.D.Burman. Sachin went to Shradashram Vidyamandir, a high school in Mumbai, where he began his cricketing career under the guidance of his coach; Ramakant Achrekar. He attended the MRF Pace Foundation during his schooldays to train as a fast bowler, but Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee, who saw him training, was not much impressed and suggested that Sachin should focus on his batting instead. While at school, his extraordinary batting skills got noticed by the sports circuit. People felt that the young boy would soon become a great cricketer. In the 1988 season, he scored a century in every inning that he played. In one of the inter school matches that year, he had an unbroken 664-run partnership with friend and teammate Vinod Kambli.When he was young, Sachin would practice for hours in the nets. If he became exhausted, Achrekar sir would put a one rupee coin on the top of the stumps and the bowler who dismissed Sachin would get the coin. If Sachin passed the whole session without getting dismissed, the coach would give him the coin. Sachin now considers the 13 coins he won then as some of his most prized possessions.When he was 14, Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar, gave him a pair of his own light pads. This touching gesture greatly encouraged the budding cricketer, who 20 years later broke Gavaskar's world record of 34 test centuries.At the very young age of 16, Sachin played his first test match against Pakistan in Karachi in 1989. In this test, he received several blows to his body at the hands of Waqar Younis, a pace bowler. He made just 15 runs. In the last test in Sialkot, he had a bloody nose from a bouncer, but he went on playing. He scored better in the subsequent games, scoring 53 runs of 18 balls at Peshawar. In the 1990 test in England he scored a century at Old Trafford. During the 1991-1992 tour of Australia, the batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar scored an unbeaten 148 in Sydney and another century on a bouncing pitch a Perth. In the 2003 Cricket World Cup, Sachin made 673 runs in 11 matches which enabled India reach the final. Although Australia won the trophy, Sachin was given the Man of the Tournament award.Today, standing on a huge pile of runs the master blaster, Sachin is a source of inspiration for budding cricketers. During his long career span, he has seen many ups and downs, but it was his commitment to the game and undying vigour, that has made him the king of the game. This is the story that tells us that miracles can happen if you just stay focused on your goals and devote every second of your life to achieve those goals. A national icon, Sachin personifies excellence and lights the path to victory!

Fantastic App!
As a Husky lover, this app conforms to everything I want in an arcade-style game. The controls are a piece of cake: tilt the screen to maneuver. There are different game modes that are all fun. Purchase dogs with game coins each with a unique personality to add to your team. For example, the Alaskan Malamute is friendly so it will pull towards Skiers. My personal favorite dog to race with is the Eurohound and I've gotten beautiful scores because of them. Being a Dog Expert I am aware that this is very unrealistic for a Sled Dog. If you have any complaints about the setup, remember- it's just a game!
It's fun and it keeps you playing. Please keep updating and adding more features and upgrades that you can buy with coins. I have everything in the game and I have a ton of extra coins. But otherwise it's a good game, especially for husky lovers!!
This game is awesome I can't stop playing it I highly recommend getting this game!! But it would be really cool if you added a feature where you can pet, play, care for one of your sled dogs that would make the game even better
