Published on Oct 3, 2016 With gold prices wavering ahead of the U.S. election and a potential interest rate hike by the end of the year, investors are trying to decipher where the metal is headed next; according to famed investor Rick Rule, bullion is moving higher. "The catalyst for it going higher is simple: zero interest rates and negative interest rates," the chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings told Kitco News at the Mines & Money event. "Frankly, I think interest rates will be more important to the gold market than either Clinton or Trump." He noted that the Fed is "trapped" and continues to be "addicted" to low rates, which will bode well for gold. … Continue reading
POSTED ON OCTOBER 26, 2015 BY COLLIN KETTELL Is the bottom in? Rick has seen too many cycles to answer a question like that. Despite the many claims, truth is, nobody knows yet. But his previous call for a potential capitulation in October is likely off the table. Mr. Rule has dedicated his entire adult life to many aspects of natural resources securities investing. In addition, to the knowledge and experience gained in a long, successful and focused career, he has a worldwide network of contacts in the natural resource and finance worlds. As Chairman of Sprott US Holdings, Mr. Rule leads a team of earth science and finance professionals who are experienced with resource investment management. Talking points of this week's interview – • Is there more upside or downside? • How a US dollar rally will impact the latest rally in miners? • What type of move off the bottom is indicative of a bull market? • Silver or gold as a speculation? • An update on the Sprott offer for Central Gold Trust. … Continue reading
By Jeff Nielson August 17, 2015 China is angry (at the West) that much is clear. China has now made a series of "shocking" announcements, and made dramatic moves with its economy, two acts which are totally atypical of the general approach from Beijing. China generally acts in a very discrete, understated manner, which does notattract attention to its policies, both political and economic. The source of its anger is easy enough to identify, the economic terrorism perpetrated against its economy by Western bankers, and discussed previously. What is far less easy to discern is its precise intent in making these overt and (for China) bold moves. In other words; China is "sending a message". The task for the Alternative media is to decipher that message. A review of recent events is necessary, as this chain grows longer and longer: 1) China makes a voluntary disclosure of an additional 600 tonnes of gold as part of its official reserves. The announcement was generally considered "surprising", and some commentators have suggested this was a provocative gesture directed at the West (or more properly, retaliation for the terrorism referred to above). 2) China "suspends" the trading accounts of dozens of U.S. traders, in relation to the (extremely suspicious) bubble-and-crash in China's stock market. It publicly announces it is investigating these traders for "manipulating" China's stock market (illegally) using the banksters' infamous computerized trading algorithms – the same abomination/crime which has been regularly discussed in previous commentaries. 3) China makes a "shocking" announcement of an official devaluation of the renminbi … Continue reading
Thursday, February 12, 2015 Tekoa Da Silva >>Interview with Rick Rule (MP3) During a period of polarizing precious metals and industrial commodity pricing, Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings was kind enough to share a few comments—opining on global counterparty risk, resource capital markets, capitulation, and more. When I asked for his expectation of a final capitulation sell-off in resource markets, Rick noted that, "We came close last October. There were some moments of absolute panic…but we didn't follow through with a capitulation… Capitulation usually follows a protracted period of diminished volume… [and] I have never seen a bear market in the juniors end without [one]." "[But] just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it has to be that way," he further added. Opportunities found at the extreme lows of capitulation, "[Are[ truly stupendous," Rick explained. "I remember in the summer of 2000 that some stocks declined from $4.00 to $.40 cents, and were going 'no bid'—changing hands at $.07 or $.08 cents…That's what happens at the end of a capitulation, because every last available seller is gone." Commenting on tightening resource capital market availability, Rick said, "The cost of capital for commodity producers is high and is going higher… [credit markets are] more constrained than at any time in my career [with exception of the early 80s]… [and] I think you're going to see – and I'm putting it mildly – a very interesting market in oil and gas-related junk debt for the first six months of 2015." Here are his full interview comments … Continue reading

Jamie Oliver has hit back at Gordon Ramsay in an on-going feud between the pair of celebrity chefs, by claiming that Gordon is "deeply jealous" of his success.
Jamie, 39, who is worth over £240 million along with his wife Jools, is now more than double the worth of his rival Ramsay.
The Hell's Kitchen star took a swipe at Jamie last year when the father-of-four didn't attend the opening of his new Hong Kong restaurant – Jamie's Italian.
"Two British chefs, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, rubbing shoulders together in Hong Kong. At least I'm here, I came to my opening, right? If you're going to open a restaurant in Hong Kong at least turn up," Gordon said in an interview with CNBC while opening his own Bread Street Kitchen in the city.
Months later, Jamie appears to have responded to the jibe.
"Gordon will do anything to try and take the p**s out of me because he is deeply jealous and can't quite work out why I do what I do and why he can't do that," he said.
"He is too busy shouting and screaming and making our industry look like a bunch of shouters and screamers."
Jamie, who recently released his 15 book, Save With Jamie, hit the top spot on the bestsellers list in the UK making his total number of book sales over 37 million.
The Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare star however has released 21 books and have sold approximately three million copies in total.
Jamie thinks that that is one of Ramsay's main gripes.
"I think that really, really annoys him," Jamie said.
"Book sales are about having a deep trusted relationship with the public. I really write my books. I don't just turn up for the front cover. I write every word, every letter and I oversee every bit of design.
"You can sell a few books by luck or a moment ... but not 15 years and 37million books. That's not luck."

One of The Telegraph's Best Music Books 2011 Alex Ross's award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing Ross as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker. These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively. In a previously unpublished essay, Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music history—from Renaissance dances to Led Zeppelin—through a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. He vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi, and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews with modern pop masters such as Björk and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and indie-rock hipsters in Beijing. Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Witty, passionate, and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us how to listen more closely.

In this intimate meditation on listening, Peter Szendy examines what the role of the listener is, and has been, through the centuries. The role of the composer is clear, as is the role of the musician, but where exactly does the listener stand in relation to the music s/he listens to? What is the responsibility of the listener? Does a listener have any rights, as the author and composer have copyright? Szendy explains his love of musical arrangement (since arrangements allow him to listen to someone listening to music), and wonders whether it is possible in other ways to convey to others how we ourselves listen to music. How can we share our actual hearing with others?Along the way, he examines the evolution of copyright laws as applied to musical works and takes us into the courtroom to examine different debates on what we are and aren't allowed to listen to, and to witness the fine line between musical borrowing and outright plagiarism. Finally, he examines the recent phenomenon of DJs and digital compilations, and wonders how technology has affected our habits of listening and has changed listening from a passive exercise to an active one, whereby one can jump from track to track or play only selected pieces.

Blog: Mud-slinging at Matalan
Leonie Barrie | 5 July 2006
There's been a lot of talk in recent years of mid-market retailers being squeezed by discounters at one end and upmarket brands at the other, but as those in the middle – like M&S – have got their acts together, so the competition at the bottom of the market has become considerably tougher. Just look at the saga of Matalan, which was once worth more than GBP3bn but is now struggling to keep up with the likes of Tesco and Primark and is currently embroiled in a boardroom battle with its founder. There's not much to report yet from today's annual meeting, but as long as John Hargreaves continues to dominate the headlines by either trying to sell his remaining stake in the company – or buy it back – then it looks like there are plenty more twists to come in this particular saga.

The present invention relates to a liquid-crystal display having a liquid-crystal cell which is formed of two substrates arranged spaced apart from each other and which is filled with a liquid-crystal substance, the cell having electrode layers which can be acted on by voltage and which are arranged on the substrates within the cell; and wherein the display includes a double-refracting compensation layer arranged outside the cell extending over the surface of the cell, a polarization filter being arranged in front of and/or behind the unit consisting of liquid-crystal cell and compensation layer.
In such liquid-crystal displays having a nematic liquid-crystal substance it is known to use as compensation layer either a double-refracting foil or a non-controllable second liquid-crystal cell. In this way, interference colorings of the liquid-crystal display are to be controlled or avoided. Due to the arrangement of the electrodes, partly opposite each other, on the substrates, or as a result of manufacturing tolerances, there are different heights of the cell space in the different regions of the liquid-crystal cells and thus also different thicknesses of the liquid-crystal layer. Thus, the amounts of the double refraction differ in the different regions of the liquid-crystal display. As a result, that the transmission and the color of the display is not uniform. This problem is particularly noticeable in liquid-crystal cells in which the twist angle of the liquid-crystal substance is greater than 90� since substantially smaller tolerances in layer thickness of the liquid-crystal substance must be maintained than in the case of normally twisted nematic liquid-crystal displays.
It is an object of the invention, therefore, to provide a liquid-crystal display of the aforementioned type which has a uniform transmission and color by simple means which are easy to produce.
According to the invention, the compensation layer is developed over its entire surface with a plurality of adjacent regions producing double refraction to light rays passing therethrough, the amount of the double refraction of the region differing by a small amount from each other.
Such a development provides that the amount of the double refraction is different. Since, however, a large number of regions of different amount of double refraction are present and distributed over the entire display surface, the entire display surface appears to an observer as a homogeneous surface of uniform transmission and uniform color. This is true, in particular, when the regions of different amount of double refraction have a smaller size than can be resolved by the human eye upon a viewing from the normal position of the viewer, and thus cannot be perceived by the viewer as individual separate regions.
The liquid-crystal substance is preferably a nematic liquid-crystal substance. The regions of different amount of double refraction on the compensation layer can be arranged with simple means and in simple manner without the need of complicated manufacturing steps or action on the liquid-crystal cell.
One embodiment which is easy to produce provides that the double-refracting compensation layer be formed of a non-controllable second liquid-crystal cell (5) which consists of two substrates (6) spaced apart from each other and which is filled with a twisted nematic liquid-crystal substance (7), wherein the regions of different amounts of double refraction are formed by regions of different cell thicknesses. However, it is also possible for the regions of different amount of double refraction to be formed on the cell-space-side surfaces of the two substrates.
In order to produce the regions of different amount of double refraction, a plurality of depressions (8) can be formed on the cell space-side surface of the substrate or substrates (6), the depressions preferably having a depth which corresponds approximately to the amount of the differences in layer thickness of the liquid-crystal layer of the first liquid-crystal cell 1) over the length of the surface thereof.
The depressions (8) can be distributed either uniformly or non-uniformly.
The depressions formed on the cell-space side can be produced by corresponding structuring of the substrate surfaces themselves.
Another possibility is to apply coatings provided with the depressions, such as for instance, foils, onto the cell-space side surface of the substrate, the depressions being possibly produced, for instance, by embossing.
Another feature of the invention is that the depressions (8) are formed on the cell space-side surface of the substrate (6).
A further feature of the invention is that the cell space-side surface of the substrate is provided with a coating having the depressions.
Another embodiment which is also easy to produce has the double-refracting compensation layer arranged on the outside of the cell space of the controllable liquid-crystal cell (1).
In order to obtain a sufficiently thick layer thickness necessary for the double refraction with simple manufacture of the layer, the double-refracting compensation layer can be developed in several layers, layers of the multi-layer compensation layer being arranged in each case on both sides of the controllable liquid-crystal cell (1).
The double-refracting compensation layer can, in simple and easily produced manner, be formed of one or more foils (9).
In order to produce the regions of different amount of double refraction, the foil or foils, for example, can be subjected to a temperature treatment.
Another possibility for producing the regions of different amount of double refraction is to provide the surface of the foil (9) with a plurality of depressions (10).
In this embodiment also, the depressions (10) can be distributed either uniformly or non-uniformly.
The depressions (10) can be produced in simple manner by embossing or by an imprinted layer.
It is particularly advantageous if the liquid-crystal substance (4, 7) of the controllable and/or non-controllable liquid-crystal cell (1, 5) is of the nematic type and has a twist angle of 90� or more in the cell since, with such a cell, measures for providing uniformity are carried out, not within the tolerance-sensitive region within the cell, but at another place free of difficulties.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the present invention will become more clearly understood in connection with the detailed description of preferred embodiments, when considered with the accompanying drawing, of which:
FIG. 1 is a first embodiment of a liquid-crystal display shown diagrammatically in cross section; and
FIG. 2 is a second embodiment of a liquid-crystal display shown diagrammatically in cross section.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, both embodiments have a transmissive liquid-crystal cell 1 on substrates 2 which consist of glass and are spaced from each other. Upon the substrates 2 there are arranged on the inside of the cell space electrode layers 3 which can be acted on by voltage in order to produce an image to be displayed.
In the inner space, formed between the substrates 2, of the cell which space is closed off from the outside by a packing (not shown) arranged around the edge region of the substrates 2, there is a layer of a nematic liquid-crystal substance 4, an angle of twist of more than 90� being produced by the cell.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a second liquid-crystal cell 5 of approximately the same length which is not controllable (fixed optical characteristics) is located in front of the controllable liquid-crystal cell 1 as seen in the direction of viewing. This second liquid-crystal cell 5 forms a double-refracting compensation layer and also has two glass substrates 6 arranged spaced from each other, which form between each other a cell space closed off from the outside also by a packing (not shown) arranged around the edge region. This cell space is also filled with a twisted nematic liquid-crystal substance 7 which is twisted by the development of the cell by a twist angle of more than 90� .
On the cell inner-space side, the two substrates 6 are provided with a plurality of depressions 7 which are formed on the right side of the cell 5 as uniformly distributed depressions with sudden transition and on the left side of the cell 5 as non-uniformly distributed depressions 8 with continuous transition.
The depressions 8 have a depth which corresponds approximately to the amount of the differences in layer thickness of the liquid-crystal substance 4 of the liquid-crystal cell 1 over its length. By virtue of the depressions 8 and the undepressed regions, a plurality of regions of different amounts of double refraction are formed in the liquid-crystal cell 5.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, transparent foils 9 are arranged on each side of the liquid-crystal cell 1 covering its entire surface, the foils forming a double-refracting compensation layer. Both foils 9 are provided with depressions 10 distributed over their entire surface, the foil 9 which is furthest from the observer being developed with non-uniformly distributed depressions 10 of continuous transition and the foil 9 closer to the observer being formed with uniformly distributed depressions 10 of sudden transition.
In this embodiment also a plurality of regions of different amounts of double refraction of the foils 9 is formed by the depressions 10 and the non-depressed regions.
It is furthermore common to both embodiments that liquid-crystal cell 1 and double-refracting compensation layer (liquid-crystal cell 5 or foils 9) are arranged between two polarization filters 11.

"Family Vacation"
This condo was very nicely decorated, light and airy. Very clean and comfortable for all 6 of us. We also had room for extra family when visiting us. We would definitely come back.
"Awesome experience"
We rented the condo so my whole family could stay together for my daughters wedding out of town. There was plenty of space and privacy for all of us. The view of the deck was amazing. It was more economical then renting 3 hotel rooms and it was close to town and the wedding venues. Tracy and her mom were wonderful and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this condo.
This was a perfect place to stay. It was clean updated and very comfortable. We have 2016 booked already

EQC guarantee to cost 'billions'
Relevant offers
Rebuilding Christchurch
The Government says its guarantee of the Earthquake Commission could run to "a few billion" for the Canterbury earthquake claims, much higher than the $800 million estimated in late August last year.
Finance Minister Bill English told a Christchurch business gathering yesterday that while the Government was making a $13 billion commitment towards the earthquake recovery, the region needed to show it was "open for business" to attract required outside investment and new people.
English said the $13b figure was fully funded through budget provisions which included ongoing revenue raising, including bond issues and planned state asset sales.
The figure includes $5.5b in Budget 2011 for the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Fund and expectations the Earthquake Commission (EQC) will pay out more than $7b in earthquake claims from its natural disaster fund, excluding reinsurance.
English indicated that the "guarantee" commitment to the quake-hit EQC fund could now reach "a few billion" from early estimates of $500 million to $800m.
The Government guarantee ensures that EQC will always be able to meet its obligations.
"Our (total Christchurch) commitment looks like it's going to reach around $13 billion by the time we pay for our share of the infrastructure and other costs, buying the red zone, the guarantee on the EQC (Earthquake Commission) which looks like it could run to a few billion, the cost of the purchase and the ongoing operation of Southern Response Services – the old AMI," he said yesterday.
The city's rebuild would probably account for about half of New Zealand's gross domestic product growth in the next three to four years.
Christchurch's immediate problems were far-reaching, he said, with the tourism sector in his own Clutha/Southland electorate "on its knees".
To rebuild tourism in the south, Christchurch needed hotels rebuilt as soon as possible.
In the future it would be very important that the decision makers and decision processes for the Canterbury rebuild focuses strongly on what it would take to attract investment into the region, both in terms of the household and business sectors.
"In the case of the household sector, having affordable housing in Christchurch will be the single biggest determinant of the population of this city in the next 10 years because housing affordability in New Zealand is way out of line ...
"In Christchurch we have an opportunity to create affordable housing and that will certainly attract people.
"With respect to the business community, the planning processes, in particular up until recently, have lacked a strong focus on who actually rebuilds the city.
"It's not the planners ... what rebuilds cities are investors who will take risks."
Christchurch needed to have a very strong focus on the fact it was "open for business" and it would make it as easy as possible for outsiders to invest.
English said in 20 years as a politician he had "never heard less complaining from Christchurch", and that stoic view had an impact around the whole country, with other regions looking first to the problems within Canterbury before they complained about their own position.
"It's shifted the whole mood of the country, because people here are being practical, they're dealing with their frustrations in ways that are more about problem-solving than just complaining."
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee was exercising his overriding powers over the rebuild with "some subtlety", English said.
"However, the shaping of Christchurch is still essentially in the hands of yourselves and your local decision-making processes."
The minister was speaking at the review of the Deloitte South Island Index, which showed the economic recovery was gaining momentum.

September home sales fell 28.6%; but prices inch up
Drop may be tied to tax-credit expiration; rise may show market bottoming out
Area home sales continued to feel a hangover from the expiration of home buyer tax credits and a slow economy in September, but prices have begun to show signs of improvement, a report released Monday shows.
Sales of existing homes in the Milwaukee metro area fell 28.6% in September from a year ago, marking the fourth consecutive month sales have been down from the same time in 2009.
However, average sale prices of homes sold in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties rose during the first three quarters of 2010, according to data from Metro MLS Inc., which tracks homes sold by Realtors.
There were 932 homes sold in September, down from 1,312 in September 2009. Through the first nine months of the year, sales were down 6.9% in the four-county area, in part because of the expiration of federal tax credit that real estate professionals and economists say stole sales from the second half of this year.
In fact, the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors predicted sales will be down for the rest of the year because figures will be compared with 2009, when a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers drove many transactions.
Mike Ruzicka, president of the local Realtors trade group, noted that the 28.6% drop in September was not as bad as the 36.9% decrease and the 45.3% slide in August and July, respectively.
"If we can stay on that glide path, I'll be happy," he said.
He also found something to be upbeat about in the price information, which the Metro MLS posts on a quarterly basis. Through the first nine months of 2010, the average sale price of houses in the four-county area has inched upward.
"It looks like, as best as we can tell from a couple of months' data, like we might have bottomed out in July," Ruzicka said.
The increase in average home sale prices occurred as more move-up buyers - rather than mostly first-time buyers purchasing starter homes - have entered the market, Realtors said.
"You still have a lot of foreclosures that are selling, but I think you've also added these higher-end ones, and that's helping the numbers move up," said David Schmidt, of Dave Schmidt Realty in Milwaukee. "I'm not talking about moving into that million-dollar house. I'm talking about the average guy moving into that $250,000 house."
Tammy Maddente, executive vice president of First Weber Group, said local real estate agents are seeing more home investors coming into the market, especially to purchase distressed properties at depressed prices with historically low interest rates. She said consumers have "become numb" to low interest rates, but those who invest in homes to sell or rent in the future haven't. She said there are some positive signs amid the general gloom in the economy.
"We just need this all to shake out. I'm feeling optimistic. I think we're getting some good reports, and what we need is some good reports for consumer confidence," Maddente said. "It's so hard today because for every bit of good news, you'll hear three more bad."
She added: "We're creeping along. We're recovering slowly."
The market for homes costing $400,000 or more remains sluggish, but for some lower-priced properties, multiple purchase offers sometimes are being seen again, said Julie Clarke, of Realty Executives Integrity in Whitefish Bay.
Foreclosure moratoriums that a few large banks recently imposed on themselves when questions arose about paperwork are keeping some foreclosed homes off the market, but "not enough in our market to have that much of an effect," Ruzicka said.
Ruzicka said home appraisals that come in lower than a sale price agreed upon by the buyer and seller still are keeping price averages from advancing further.
Russell Kashian, a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater economics professor, said tightened credit standards by lenders also have narrowed the field of potential buyers.
"Demand is sedate, but on top of that there is a constraint on who can actually qualify," Kashian said.
Schmidt said he believes activity by potential buyers has picked up during the recent pleasant weather. Good weather sometimes prompts people to consider buying a house, he said.
"I think what we're seeing is that little fall rush of people who want to get in before the snow flies," he said.

A Series of Breakdowns and Breakthroughs - A Memoir9:08 PM
Picture this: your life flashes before your eyes, all you see is a series of every breakdown you've ever had. Do you laugh or cry?
I like to think that I'd laugh. When I write about the times I blew up over something so small, or even big, I get a good kick. Why? Because it's in the past and self-reflection has allowed me to see both how that event worked its way into my current life as well as how minuscule it was in the long run.
|A young Brooke pronounces her love for chicken and
fries at a young age while simultaneously imitating
Deb from Napoleon Dynamite without even knowing it.
Here's a quick preview: me, red-faced, mouth screaming, on the floor of old navy, a skort (Good riddance, am I right?) crumpled in my hands, my mom in the corner with her head up against the wall, her best friend scolding me for not slipping that torturous garment on, and the rest of the store wondering what the hell is going on in that dressing room.
Or this: Eating leftover spaghetti for dinner when my mom tells my brother and I that she has something to tell us, that our father is in jail and the news has been published on a local news site that most people in town read.
The events vary in degrees of seriousness, but each one felt just as real as the next in the moment they were happening.
I'm not sure if this is something I'll ever try to get published, but I sure am excited to write about it. Sometimes writing a memoir seems conceited, but I think it's really good reflection that could possibly benefit others if done correctly.
Life hasn't always been easy and it never will be. I intend to share that with whoever ends up reading my pieces.

The picture of you is adorable! I loved doing that kinda stuff as a kid in class. They somehow made it so fun ;)ReplyDelete
Looking forward to your new blog layout. And I definitely would like to see your watercolours when you get a chance!

One of the best books I've read so far are autobiographies. The recent memoir I had read was Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah. It was indeed so touching. I hope you've already read it. Autobiographies are the best. They let us feel what the person had been through and it inspires us in a way. I've even blogged about it here.ReplyDelete

Whats your kink?
Currently writing my own BDSM novel and seeking submissives (or open women) for casual relationships, sexual exploration, or service to me. Domination services also provided.
Also working on my DBA (Doctorate of Business Admin)
Daddy to an adorable pup and a sassy pussy.
I work a desk job during the day, and I am passionate about fitness, philosophy, and politics.
Don't be shy. Im actually a nice guy outside of the bedroom
Just looking for my unicorn to lift snd live a life with. Unicorn meaning I only date bisexual women looking to make that a part of our relationship. If thats not you please dont message me with hate. You do you, let me do me.
If youre a sub looking for a good dom. I could potentially help with that.
Everything below here is old and irrellevant. Keeping it so you (and I) can have some insight into my brain and how it has developed and evolved over the years.
I love a classicaly hott dame. Who doesnt love a superficially attractive woman?! But if thats the entirety of your identity we may not work. A great body is amazing, but a great mind is also a must. Looking for intense sex and intense conversations.
7/15/15: wow! Its been two years since my last update. Long story short. Recently single. Doctoral student. Amateur athlete. Not looking for anything serious. I am a dominant man with high standards, and that makes dating difficult. However, if the right dame comes along I am not opposed to seeing where it goes. Until then, if you like to laugh, lift weights, and have rough sex. Im your guy.
7/22/13: I don't think shallow is an appropriate word, but I have to add this caveat to my profile. In addition to working on my intellect I also put a lot of effort into my physique. That being said I am only attracted to, for lack of a better world attractive people. I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but objectively speaking if you are not what society would call attractive I am realistically not going to be attracted to you I'm sorry. Love is the combination of intimacy, commitment, and passion. Friendships can consist of intimacy and commitment, but passion cannot be forced or faked.
7/10/13: If I could be anything in the world it would be a stand up comedian. Problem is I'm not that funny... So this is my disclaimer. If you read my profile don't get offended. I'm never... Well rarely ever truly disparaging.
I told myself I wasn't going to go all sarcastic and snarky but there is just too much material not to ha ha. What is with you women posting pictures with you and your friends. First of all, which one are you?!?! Second of all, surrounding yourself by ugly friends doesn't make you prettier, and surrounding yourself with attractive friends makes me want to ask if they're single.
7/3/13: OK. First attempt go! I love words, and love talking so I will try to keep this concise, but you can bet the longer it gets there will be a direct correlation to how long I have been on this website. ha ha ha.
I am an attractive, active, educated (and continually gaining more) young man with a good job, good body, and lots of motivation to only get better at life. I am simple, predictable, and awesome.
