1 mention in Oahu: Best areas for secluded beaches / hikes?
Einn A. said,
"...the end. Lots of lush greenery and shade as you hike. Trail gets a bit muddy & slippery after the rain. Waimea Valley is a very easy shaded and paved walk to the waterfall. Kaaawa Beachis a very quiet strip of beach...."

Gabriel: MustacheMature
The horse was so fast! All I could do was hold on to it's - what do you call it? The hair it has on its head? Mane, that's it! I held on to its mane and squealed. I loved how Grandmum was making it go like that. I looked back at her, but she seemed afraid.
I looked back to see a wall in front of us. I screamed and flung my little arms up in front of my face, leaning back against Grandmum. Had I been looking, I would've seen a short man step in front of the horsey.
I was flung forward off of the horse because it had suddenly stopped. Grandmum screamed my name. I landed in - on - something soft. I looked up to see that the short man had caught me. He had a weird mustache and a circle over one eye.
"Now what's a lovely lady and a little lad like you mucking about on an infernal machine like that?"
Grandmum got off the horse and came around to snatch me out of the man's arms. She set me down on the ground, patted the top of my head, and turned on the short man.
"Who are you? How did you stop that thing?" Grandmum demanded.
"My name is Mr. Nethersole. If you would kindly let me explain myself..."
I liked his mustache. It was funny looking.

When visiting Bagan, Su Tine San Royal Palace Hotel is a great choice to consider. Guests can splash around at the outdoor pool or grab a bite to eat at the restaurant. Nice touches like bathrobes and slippers are offered up in all rooms, along with flat-screen TVs and minibars.

Remove 6 Rhodes Dinner Rolls from the freezer and leave them covered in the fridge overnight or on the counter for two hours until thawed but still cold.
Line a cookie sheet with foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Flatten each roll into a circle and place them on the cookie sheet. Lightly spray a piece of plastic wrap and loosely cover the rolls. Let them rise for about two hours or until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and remove the plastic wrap from the rolls.
Use the back of a tablespoon (or your thumb!) to make a well in the center of each roll.
Fill each with a 1/2 Tablespoon of jam.
Bake for 20 minutes.
While they are baking, in a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk, and whisk together.
Carefully remove the baked donuts and brush them with the glaze while still warm.
Once they have cooled, drizzle the remaining glaze over the tops.

I didn't realize how EXCELLENT their prices are until now! (Never really checked them out before now! :doh: ) In random browsing, I saw several luscious yarns in the $2.50-$3.50 range. I'm in awe! :shock:
I'm proud to announce that Elann is now a major advertiser here. :happydance: In fact they are my first official Video Sponsor.
I've got another major advertiser coming up this week, another very pleasant surprise, stay tuned! :eyebrow:
But Amy. I love elann. And it's killing me. You saw what I bought! I think I need to go look at my new yarn to remind myself. And my MC bill.
Just think of how much happiness and peaceful knitting time each skein of yarn brings to your life. :angelgrin:
(Do I get an award for being such a good enabler? :lol: )
[size=2]Spend, Ingrid, Spend!! Bwaaahaaahaaa. (evil laugh.)[/size]
I too am an elann lover--and of course, I KnitPicks too! I got my little 5 inch Bryspuns for sock knitting for less than $6 a set of 5!! I was extremely happy with everything I've ordered there--and they also have swaps too, if you've never looked there!! It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN to shop for yarn--but I. MUST.NOT. SHOP. FOR. ANYTHING. NOW.
But see you people MUST buy yarn and post pretty pics of it here so that I may live vicariously through your yarn purchases! Needing yarn fix... :roflhard:
Elann's great! :cheering: I subscribed last year to the samples and was given the sample subscription again this year. I like how subscriptions and book purchases are paid back in credits. I've had a lot of fun buying yarns I never would have been able to afford elsewhere.
I'm glad they're one of your sponsors - I'll have to click through to them from here next time I place an order.
A friend told me about Elann last year right after I learned to knit. I've gotten beautiful yarn (and great service) from them!
Hooray! I love elann too. :inlove:
I have a question about the sample subscription...what do you do with the small amounts of yarn? See if you like them so you can buy more, or knit tiny things? Maybe there is more yarn than I realize. Do tell!kimmie
Glad I caught this thread! Suddenly, the videos appeared quite differently than they had before and I didn't understand why!
Yay for Elann! I've never ordered from them. Now I must! (Like I need any excuse for such a thing....)
I was waiting to reply until I could take some pics or measure. It was too dark today for pics, but I measured the aran wt yarn sample and it was over 9 yds. The yarns that go on sale on Tuesdays are the ones they send the samples of at the beginning of the month. They also have a free color flyer about the Tuesday yarns, but if you buy the sample skein subscription or the color card subscription, the flyer will also include 3" color snips of the yarns.
So far I've knitted some of the little skeins into swatches to see if I like the yarns enough to buy. Sometimes I even wash and air dry them. Helpful because my mom said she didn't like the smell of alpaca! It's been really worth it to me because I started off not knowing much about yarn and playing with the samples has educated me a little more than fondling them at the store. It's been hard not to buy too much, but I manage.
I had planned on eventually making a scrapy scarf or purse, but haven't yet - except in my mind! I'll try and post a picture when I get a little sun.
edited to add that Elann sometimes sneakily adds new yarns on days other than Tuesdays, but the subscriptions don't include those. You have to keep checking 'sneak peek' on the home page.
:oops: It's taken me 3 months to get pics up. Gawd, I can procrastinate!
Anyway here is the April Elann Newsletter. If anyone wants to see a pic of one of the mini-hanks knitted up, let me know.
The first Tuesday yarn is the Rowan Cotton Tape, a soft chain tape. Strong colors, but not too bright - they are very slightly toned down. Color reproduction is probably better at www.elann.com
I have NO affiliation with elann - just a happy customer, who has spent way too much in the past and is sharing so y'all go buy it up so I can't.
On Tues. 4/11, Scholler Stahl Portofino goes on sale and I am REALLY tempted by this one. The price is great. The colors are beautiful. I think I will be knitting up this mini skein to see how it looks. It's so lightweight and fluffy and soft! Damn you elann!
On Tues. 4/18, some very shiny & bright Online Linie 114 - Space will go on sale. Very pretty, variegated.
And lastly on 4/25 Scholler Stahl Lerici Color will go on sale. Seems like a good price. Heathery variegated, soft, but non-stretchy. :XX:
See color snips above - but they are too small to show the entire color range within a single skein.
Pretty colors!! :inlove:

Positive signs for certified timber in Australia
Arden supplier TLB Timber Pty Ltd has announced that they have been granted VLO under the SmartWood program of the Rainforest Alliance. The accreditation covers all solid dressed Merbau F27 and boards; decking and flooring products received from their accredited supplier in Indonesia.
As a significant timber consumer for their architectural stair and balustrade projects, Arden Architectural congratulates TLB and the Rainforest Alliance for taking such a positive step towards fully sustainable timber use in the Australian architectural sector.
Arden Architectural has a long track record in sourcing certified recycled or re-used timber products for their commercial projects, where architects and clients increasingly demand only the highest standards in green accreditation.
"In the past, it's been pretty difficult to source FSC or PEFC certified timber products for our stair and balustrade projects." admits Arden director Matthew Browne. "We're absolutely delighted that we can now offer our clients Kwila (Merbau) in addition to our other certified products".
Kwila has long been notorious in Australia as routinely coming from suspect sources.
Architects and specifiers are recommended to source reliable advice regarding sustainable timber species. The obligation is on project managers and builders to require full chain-of-custody documentation for applicable timber species from their stair or balustrade contractor.
Design, supply and installation of modern corporate and prestige staircases and balustrades. Arden bring modern architectural concepts to life in prestige and commercial projects.Learn more

Beschreibung"Nelson's story, which is told largely through the west river settlers' own words, reveals a bond between people and the land so strong that only the most overwhelming adversity could finally break it. It is a fascinating tale of hopes raised and dreams shattered within a single generation. One cannot help being moved. The book should be required reading for all who seek to understand human persistence in a zone that outsiders have been too willing to dismiss as submarginal." - John C. Hudson, Northwestern University; "Highly readable.... The term 'wide open spaces' takes on new meaning in Nelson's book....A marvelous job of presenting the lives of west river South Dakotans during times of extreme stress in a way that should touch all readers' emotions regardless of where they live." - Dorothy Schwieder, Iowa State University"

I get inspired by the weirdest, smallest things. I'm watching a music video and there's some cobwebs or something blowing in an industrial fan and as if a light bulb switches on in my head; this.
Cobwebs caught in the fantastical
Smoke hissing from a ruined throat
I'll leave you be, but first you must tell me
Why he's hanging there like a painting
Seamless design, but crippled inside
Reptilian remnants crawl and devise
A way to lay claim to something that's mine
Come with me and I'll give you your sight
Too many are blind, too many unformed
In the far-reaching forest of consequence
Cobwebs gag me when I try to tell the truth
The ghosts were real all along
The ghosts were in you
But through these spaces they move
To the rhythm of a different sort of world
Like cockroaches through cracks in the wall
Our enemies
No, friends
Like to visit us at night
They like to see how deep we sleep
And how much pain can rouse the deepest dreamer
Cobwebs blowing in the fan
Bring echoes our way to mingle with the now
Demented and sanguine caretakers
Are rebuilding their homes in the holes
They made when they came in from the cold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marta Burgay (30. November 1976, Torino) is an Italian radio astronomer whose initial claim to fame was being the discoverer[1][2][3] of PSR J0737-3039, the first double pulsar (two pulsars orbiting each other), through using the 64-metre Parkes radio telescope in Australia.
Her Thesis on radio pulsars won the 2005 Pietro Tacchini Prize, awarded by the Società Astronomica Italiana for the best Ph.D. theses.[4] In 2006, she became the first winner of the IUPAP's Young Scientists Prize in Astrophysics award.[5] In 2010, she was honoured with the Vainu Bappu Gold Medal by the Astronomical Society of India.[6]

Undergraduate Study
The Department of Mathematics builds on over 140 years of teaching excellence to offer degrees in Mathematics. As a student in Aberystwyth you will be taught the essential disciplines of algebra, calculus and mathematical analysis. As your interests develop, you may then select further classes from a broad range of topics in mathematics and statistics. Our lecturers are committed teachers and active researchers, expanding the boundaries of mathematical knowledge. We aim to create a friendly, open and welcoming environment in which students are able to reach their full mathematical potential.
In addition to our popular degree schemes focussing purely on mathematics and statistics, many students choose to combine mathematics or statistics with another subject, and we offer a wide choice of joint honours combinations.
For more general information, take a look at our flyer about Mathematics at Aberystwyth, or click here for our printed brochure.
You can also find details about our Scholarships and Bursaries, our teaching and research facilities and Open and Visiting Days.
Studying Mathematics
Mathematics represents one of the supreme achievements of the human mind. The subject has fascinated thinkers throughout the ages, from the ancient civilisations of five thousand years ago to the present day. It is an evolving, living discipline; the boundaries of mathematics have expanded beyond the geometry and number theory of the Greeks and the algebra of the early Indians and of Islam.
Mathematics was called "the Queen of the Sciences" by one of its greatest practitioners, Carl Friedrich Gauss. This is more true today than ever before; mathematics has invaded the territories of all scientific subjects. Science without mathematics is unthinkable.
The list below provides links to further details of the undergraduate Mathematics degrees on offer at Aberystwyth University. The majority of our students choose to follow a three year BSc or four year MMath scheme in Mathematics, in which the full range of options remain open to you throughout your undergraduate career. Others elect to concentrate on two of the three sub-disciplines of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. We also offer a Mathematics degree with a foundation year for those who lack the usual entry qualifications.
Some students will have a clear career goal in mind and will find our bespoke schemes in Financial Mathematics, Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, or Data Science of interest. The teaching is shared with colleagues in the Business School, and the departments of Physics and Computer Science respectively, allowing you to follow a carefully-tailored programme of study in these important subjects.
We are also pleased to offer flexible combined schemes, both as Joint Honours and Major/Minor degrees. In this case you would spend part of your time studying mathematics and the rest of your time immersed in a different subject such as Physics, Education, or a language.

Life after death for rapper on B.I.G. screen
By Kirk Honeycutt
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - When Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G., died in a hail of bullets in March 1997 at age 24, he left behind a compelling yet contradictory legacy as one of hip-hop's premier personalities. So it is with "Notorious," a riveting but strangely elusive biopic that opens on Friday via Fox Searchlight.
The film brings aboard many of the key players from his life as producers but can't quite solve the mystery of who was "Biggie."
Nevertheless, this is the first gotta-see movie of 2009. It has terrific performances, a powerful soundtrack and eye-catching visuals. Normally, such a film will turn out hip-hoppers and its core audience. But Fox Searchlight knows how to market to a crossover crowd, so this might also be first hit film of 2009.
The story begins on that March night in Los Angeles as Biggie leaves a party after a music awards show, then flashes back through his life with the young rapper acting as narrator, almost as if he were telling his own story as his life flashes before his eyes.
And flash it does. One minute he's an overweight kid in Brooklyn's poor Bedford-Stuyvesant 'hood, sitting on a stoop writing song lyrics -- the kid is poignantly played by Biggie's own son, Christopher Jordan Wallace -- and the next he's a streetcorner pusher, then a father, convict and, upon release from prison, a man who sees hip-hop as a way to channel street smarts into fame, fortune and just possibly maturity.
Jamal Woolard, a rapper who hails from near Biggie's old neighborhood and possesses his imposing size and swagger, is pleasingly sweet-natured and entirely credible as this overgrown kid who has a knack for translating a ghetto everyman's life and dreams into musical poetry. His girth makes him lean into characters' faces and into scenes at startling angles that feel intensely intimate.
For a man apparently making his first film, Woolard carries the movie like a pro. Cross your fingers that this is no fluke, for this guy could be a real comer.
Director George Tillman Jr. has assembled a first-rate picture, splashing across the screen a colorful milieu, strong emotional scenes and vivid characters that seemingly move to hip-hop rhythms. You get a fleeting impression of a life lived large -- pun and image intended -- but also a sense of how hip-hop artists exploit the visions and fantasies of the mean streets. Continued...

Mourinho finds set pieces the route to success
Even here, in the final stages of the Champions League, teams sometimes just have to find a way. Chelsea could not match Paris Saint-Germain for attacking stardust from the start, never mind when Eden Hazard limped off after 18 minutes. But when the manager is the most glorious pragmatist in the game, the solution is never far away and it came from dead balls.
Chelsea threatened from corners and free-kicks more than anything else, Salvatore Sirigu first having to scramble to turn away Frank Lampard's deflected effort before the first goal – a long throw from Branislav Ivanovic, a near-post flick and then André Schürrle pouncing on the second ball. It might not have been a goal to fit the stage, but it was demanded by the situation.
Lampard's bright light may slowly be fading
This was Frank Lampard's 50th appearance for Chelsea in the knockout stages of the Champions League, which is nearly as remarkable a record as any that the 35-year-old holds. But it did not feel on Tuesday night as if there will be very many more.
It is unlikely Lampard would have started had Ramires been available, and he was second best for most of the game in his 66 minutes on the pitch. Blaise Matuidi was too strong and sharp for him, Thiago Motta too canny. Lucas got Willian booked after skipping past Lampard, and the England man himself was carded for a cynical trip on the hero of the first match, Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Chelsea's finest displays this season have come with Nemanja Matic in the team and he has the spark that Lampard, quite naturally, has lost. When Matic is available in the Champions League next season, Chelsea will be stronger.
Chelsea 2 PSG 0 (agg: 3-3): Second leg player ratings
Chelsea 2 PSG 0 (agg: 3-3): Second leg player ratings
1/23 Petr Cech 8/10
Strong punch clear on Motta's free-kick to keep clean sheet intact before the break. Vital stops from Lavezzi and Alex in final minutes
2/23 Branislav Ivanovic 7
Strong presence helping out in defence or surging down the right wing. Challenge on Matuidi earned a booking but helped keep out PSG
3/23 Gary Cahill 8
Thrashed over from a free-kick after having headed effort cleared. Showed ever-growing confidence and authority with number of meaty challenges
4/23 John Terry 7
Early charge upfield displayed desire to affect proceedings. Minor injury concern was run off and will be desperate to lead Chelsea to a win in competition
5/23 Cesar Azpilicueta 7
Overcame slight struggles with Lavezzi in opening minutes but recovered superbly. Strong at the back and revelled in space down PSG's right side
6/23 David Luiz 8
Helped on Ivanovic throw to allow Schürrle to open the scoring. As with Lampard, dictated play from deep and impressed going forward
7/23 Frank Lampard 7
Hit and miss free-kick delivery as he was deployed in front of back four. Cautioned for felling Lavezzi and replaced by Ba. The rest is history
8/23 Eden Hazard 6
Belgian was Chelsea's most attacking player in the first leg in France last week but lasted just 18 minutes before hobbling off injured
9/23 Willian 7
Has impressed with work rate in recent weeks and again put in a big shift, linking defence with attack and providing attacking spark. Booked
10/23 Oscar 6
Given more forward role after midfield reshuffle but still played his part defensively. Curled free-kick against bar before going off for Torres
11/23 Samuel Eto'o 6
Had early effort deflected wide after being fed by Oscar. Tried to steal ball from Sirigu. Little impact after break as subs came on to steal the show
12/23 Andre Schurrle 8 (Substitute)
Brought on following Hazard injury and showed fine anticipation to score. Hit bar and was a revelation as he helped Chelsea over line. Just
13/23 Salvatore Sirigu 7
Italian made important block on Lampard free-kick and also got down well to Luiz effort. Exposed for Schurrle goal and could do little with Ba effort
14/23 Christophe Jallet 5
Will have been relieved to see Hazard exit proceedings after struggling against Belgian. Struggled to keep up with pace of home sides' advances
15/23 Alex 6
Deflected Eto'o effort over on return to Stamford Bridge and Brazilian also made important saving tackle on Torres as Spaniard sought a leveller
16/23 Thiago Silva 7
Came out of challenge with Eto'o worse after diving in outside the area. Unlucky not to see his side reach last four as he was main line of PSG defence
17/23 Maxwell 6
Advanced forward to strike one effort across goal as visitors sought to wrap up the tie. Not his best night at the back but did not shirk his task
18/23 Thiago Motta 7
A threat from set-pieces and did the simple things well, rarely losing the ball and keeping French side in with a hope of holding out to qualify
19/23 Marco Verratti 6
Reported Arsenal target was booked in first half. Collided with Schurrle in area. Calm in possession but did not always make best choices with passing
20/23 Blaise Matuidi 7
Inventive and broke up play well but struggled to match the impact he made in Paris last week. Fouled by Ivanovic before being replaced by Pastore
21/23 Lucas Moura 6
Impressed last week but did himself no favours with tumble under pressure from Terry. Headed wide from free-kick and drove another effort straight at Cech
22/23 Ezequiel Lavezzi 6
Extravagant tumble earned little favour. Pulled off one fine turn shortly after the interval but came to nothing before surprisingly being taken off
23/23 Edinson Cavani 6
Picked up needless booking for obstructing Luiz and again struggled to make mark, despite absence of Ibrahimovic. Blazed fine chance over Cech's bar
Geordie connection makes a difference to both teams
Former Newcastle team-mates Yohan Cabaye and Demba Ba spent much of the time before kick-off – when they really should have been warming up – catching up on the halfway line. Both might have felt slightly hard done by not to be in their respective starting line-ups but both were called upon in the second half by their managers.
Cabaye was brought on to add some much needed experience – where 21-year-old Marco Verratti was struggling – but it was Ba, thrown on to be a target man up front, who made the difference at the end, clambering past Maxwell at the far post to knock the ball rather fortunately over Sirigu for the vital second goal.
Mourinho's tactical nous befits his amazing record
There were times, with the clock ticking away and Paris threatening on the break, that Jose Mourinho's remarkable European record felt under threat.
This was his eighth Champions League quarter-final. He had won the first seven but never gone into a second leg with a deficit like this. And yet there he was at the end, charging around as if buoyed by the thrill of his very first triumph.
If this felt like a personal victory for Mourinho, that is because it was. He did not allow his team to over- commit for the first hour, acknowledging PSG's strength on the break, knowing if they were one goal away, he could add two more forwards and ride their luck. It paid off, and even after Ba's goal, there was Mourinho, breaking up the bundle to give tactical instructions to his players. This was the complete performance.
Paris stars left waiting to join the European elite
This Paris Saint-Germain team is talked of in France as the best ever to grace Ligue 1, so much so that only European challenges are relevant to them any more.
They want to join the club football elite and now need a statement, the scalp of a big club to really prove their worth. But this was their second straight quarter-final exit, both on away goals after drawing 3-3.
They will be back again next time, but for now they are still waiting for their admission to the European big time.

More than a WhoreMature
My real name is not Carmelita, and my real job is not a fight club ring girl. I don't casually sleep with just any dosed up, knuckle headed cagefighter, though I can't say the sex was bad in this case. When I'd said that I'd look forward to meeting him again I hadn't quite flat out lied... Maybe I even liked the guy a little, despite our only liason being a night of vivid, HEAT enhanced sex. Then again, he's not the first guy I've "liked a little" and he was different. I had his wallet.
It was just before dawn. I took a shot as I trotted along the sidewalk, the glowing streetlamps flushing momentarily as my eyes readjusted to the drug. I opened the wallet and rifled through the contents. A few hundred dollars, a couple of credit chips and an e-bank card, a picture of himself which I found rather odd (I didn't have him down as the narcissistic type) and an ID card. I tossed the credit chips into an electrics recycling bin. They could be tracked by GPS and I'd never get any money out of them without the passkey anyway. The e-bank card I could probably have used to pull a little iDentity fraud on the Apple network, but I that wasn't part of the plan so I tossed that too. I pocketed the cash. Good quality HEAT costs money and you can never have enough spare vials of the stuff. What I was really interested in was the ID card. Travis Shioda, Pacific Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. Bingo. I tucked the card into my inside pocket and finally dropped the wallet into another bin and walked on.
Sirens wailed as a couple of squad cars whizzed by me. I kept my head down and took a turning off the main. Cops these days tended to make random stops to check for fake HEAT dealers and substitute compounds. I wasn't carrying any SubCom material but being found with the ID card would be fatal to the plan. I bowed my head and kept walking down the sidestreet, hoping my ride would be here soon. I took a shot for good measure.
"Hey, Young Lady, you wanna feel a high like you've never felt before?"
I started a little but showed no reaction as the dealer emerged smiling from an alleyway. His remaining teeth were yellowed and I noticed a cancerous ulcer on his tongue as he licked his lips. Spittle flecks ran down his chip as he lisped.
"You've never seen stuff like this before, not that normal SubCom trash. Here take a look."
He was blocking my way, and crossing to the other side of the road now would only serve to anger him. Best just to play along. He drew a box from inside his coat and popped the lid. It was full of vials of compounds in all sorts of colours, some of them were luminescent to the extent of outshining the occasional flickering of the neon signs on the walls. I pulled out one of my syringes.
"Sorry, I've got my own." He didn't budge.
"This is much better than that stuff. Lookie here, all my compounds have higher intensity and longer life than anything you can get anywhere else. Why don't you try the Aqua? It's especially good for discerning young women like yourself, or perhaps the Scarlet mix for a sharper high?"
He advanced towards me with the needles in his hands, all the time smiling that grotesque smile and licking his lips with that cancerous tongue. I knew those syringes probably didn't contain any HEAT type drug at all, but more likely a mixture of hormonal stimulants and sedatives with sparkly food colouring. In essence, he was trying to date rape me.
"Look, sir, I really don't need anything you have to offer, besides I have no money to buy it from you..." I bluffed, trying to disarm him with a combination of politeness and submissive body language, I hunched my shoulders away from him and stuck my hands into my pockets.
"Come on now Missy, don't you wanna at least try? Come on!" He approached more aggressively and raised his hand to jam the needle into my neck, the liquid inside glowing a sickly blood red. I blocked him with my arms, so glad I'd taken that extra shot. He was heavy and shoved me back against the wall, pushing his filthy face close to mine as he forced the syringe closer towards my neck while I resisted. Close to, I saw flecks of dirt and dried blood from the ulcer on his unshaven face. His breath made me want to gag, not only that but the rest of him stank of a revolting mixture of excrement and sweat. He pushed closer to me again, the needle now only inches from my neck as I fought to hold it back. His eyes bulged and his breathing became fervent and shallow. I could feel him rubbing against my leg and retched a little.
"I'm gonna fuck you! I'm gonna fuck you and gut you!"
I spat in his face. In the moment he blinked I twisted the syringe out of his grip and stabbed it into his leg. He howled in pain and threw a vicious punch into my body. It struck my breast and I gasped in acute, HEAT enhanced pain, dropping to my knees in front of him. Fear and adrenaline driving me, I punched him in the balls as hard as I could and he squealed like a pig and crumpled. Serve the bastard right. I struggled to my feet and ran. The man tried to give chase but his own drug which I'd injected into him was starting to take effect and in moments he had gone from semi conscious to comatose.
I rounded the corner and a small unmarked car pulled up next to me. The passenger door popped open. "Get in." I got in.
The driver was a youth, dressed all in black, his face masked by a balaclava.
"I been looking all over for you, you weren't at the meeting place."
"I know, I ran into some trouble with a dealer. Tried to dose me with sedative and get his thing in me. I almost threw up on him."
"You should've just shot him, saved yourself the trouble.You're not cut out for fighting."
I drew my pistol from my pocket and cradled it in both hands, comforted by the weight of the cold metal. "I can't just shoot people, you know that, it would've woken up the whole neighbourhood. Though speaking of shooting people, how're the others doing?"
"They should be finishing up soon unless they run into complications. We'll meet them later."
I sighed in relief. "Good. Hopefully nothing else will go wrong." The whole ordeal with the dealer had shaken me. I was suddenly more aware that I was only wearing my bra under my jacket. I folded my arms over my chest and squeezed my gun a little. Sleeping with Travis Shioda seemed more like an age rather than mere hours ago. I took a shot as the car sped into the approaching dawn.

BlackBerry Stock: BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY) Pulls The Plug On Hardware, But Does It Solve Anything?
- BlackBerry has announced that it's going to outsource all future handset development.
- The investing world has generally received the news positively.
- But what exactly does this move mean for BBRY investors?
BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) has acquired a brand-new look sans hardware. During the company's latest earnings call, BlackBerry announced that it will formally exit the hardware business, and will outsource all future hardware development. According to chief executive John Chen, this move will allow the company to reduce its capital investments and enhance return on capital.
BlackBerry stock at first responded well to the announcement, jumping as much as 7%. But the shares have cooled off of late, giving up most of those flash gains. Now that the hoopla has worn off a bit, it is a good time to take a deeper look into the merits of abandoning the hardware business, or lack thereof.
Pivoting out of hardware
For some time now, BlackBerry has been pivoting away from the beleaguered hardware business to the high-margins software business. The company sold a pitiful 3.2M BlackBerry devices in 2015, a far cry from the 52.3 million devices it sold just four years ago. BlackBerry clearly underestimated the direction where the mobile industry was headed to, aptly summarized in this excerpt from the Wall Street Journal:
"When [founder Mike] Lazaridis conducted an autopsy on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) first iPhone in the summer of 2007 he was stunned to find so much computing power inside the sleek phone. The phone was nonsensical, he told his team. There was no way the networks could manage the videos, photos and other internet traffic Apple was promising iPhone users."
Apple went on to cut an exclusive deal with AT&T (NYSE:T) which gave the giant carrier a strong incentive to upgrade its networks. Other carriers soon followed suit and LTE networks became the norm everywhere. Suddenly, the value proposition of an iPhone to the user increased dramatically due to its ability to handle almost any kind of apps, while the likes of BlackBerry and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) were left in the dust.
BlackBerry finished the last quarter with a revenue of $334 million, a sharp 30% year-over-year decline. Only 30% of that revenue came from the sale of mobile devices, with 44% coming from software and services while 26% was tied to service access fees (SAF). BlackBerry recognised revenue on just 400,000 units in the latest quarter. Meanwhile, non-GAAP EPS of 0.00 was a slight improvement from -$0.03 posted in the year ago comparable quarter.

A day late and a dollar short?
Those numbers could have been a lot worse, had the company's Software and Services segment not come to its rescue with 89% revenue growth to $154M. There's a caveat here, though. Although growth in the software segment appears impressive, investors should keep in mind that it came on the back of easy comps after the segment badly missed on Wall Street expectations of $167M during last year's comparable quarter. BlackBerry has already lost its leading position in EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) to Vmware's (NYSE:VMW) AirWatch, and the entry of other players into the market could see the company concede even more market share.
BlackBerry posted non-GAAP gross margin of 62%, a record for the company. Exit from the hardware business is likely to lead to more margin expansion, and allow the company to lower its cash burn. BlackBerry exited the second quarter with free cash flow of -$45M. Investors should, however, not expect too much in the way of cost savings. Mr. Chen said that exiting the hardware segment will lead to fewer than 100 job cuts from the company's current payroll of more than 4,500 employees. Further, investors should also note that the company was non-committal regarding its plans to launch its latest Android smartphone, unveiled in late July. According to Chen,
"If I decide not to go ahead with that phone, you may have seen the last BlackBerry-designed phone,"
So maybe the company will continue with the development of its latest smartphone. Over the medium and long-term, it's not clear whether BlackBerry will completely abandon designing any hardware devices. SAF revenue is likely to continue its decline.
Also Read: Why BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY) Stock Remains A Risky Bet After The Earnings Beat
Investor Takeaway
The biggest benefit that BlackBerry will enjoy from exiting its hardware design and manufacturing business is that the company is likely to see a considerable slowdown in its worrying cash burn. But I cannot see any clear new growth runways for the company from here. The company has $1.23B cash and cash equivalents on its books, so it can still conceivably make other strategic plays including acquisitions as it tries to create shareholder value. But at the moment BlackBerry stock still remains a risky long-term bet.

I was impatient and bad today...
Havent upgraded my axle or gears yet but thats coming within 6 months...
got too good of a deal to pass up on a set of 35x12.5x15's
stability is tons better than with my old 32's and i love the look...
here we are :)

Beautiful jeep. I love the look. But why such a big flare in the rear though?
Thanks, man!!
And originally I was going to have zero flare front, 3" step sliders, then the 6" flat rears so it would kinda flow together but then I didn't get the step and still loved the 6" rear flares so I don't fling a bunch of stuff behind me and I just kinda like the rears covered for some reason lol

Ahh, I understand. I'd never seen a setup like that before lol. I especially like the CJ style turn signals coupled with tube fenders on those TJs. Gives them a classic CJ/Willys look, in my opinion.
thats a damn sexy TJ
Thanks, man! I appreciate that...
heres a before pic of it (bought october of 2010)
What soft top you using? I like the look of it. Does it convert to the safari? What a difference from OEM!!!
Sorry man, didnt see this reply...
I'm running a Trektop NX (frameless top)...yes it converts to a safari top; it also has a sunrider option.
I've had it about a year and a half and absolutely love it...dont miss the two piece hardtop at all.
Man, we're building very similar set-ups.....I'm only running 33x12.50x15's right now, but I'm looking into 35's. I have a set of JK turn signals sitting on my workbench, waiting to be installed in the grill.

Question: I will be coming to visit the A Day in Pompeii exhibition when it opens at Melbourne Museum in June 2009, but is there anything relating to Pompeii and Ancient Rome that I can see at the museum before then?
Answer: There are several objects relating to Pompeii and Ancient Rome currently on display at Melbourne Museum.
Probably most well known is the pair of human body casts from the archaeological site of ancient Pompeii currently on display in the Mind & Body Gallery. On August 24, AD 79, the nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted violently, spewing pumice and thick volcanic ash over the town of Pompeii, encasing some of its inhabitants to produce casts of their bodies.
There is also a display case in the main foyer of Melbourne Museum displaying a number of objects relating to the upcoming A Day in Pompeii exhibition. There are a number of examples of material expelled during various eruptions of Mount Vesuvius including volcanic ash, lapilli (small pumice pellets), volcanic tuff and scoria. There is also an image of the House of Vettii within the town of Pompeii after its excavation, and an askos (wine jug) from Pompeii dating from the first century AD.
Furthermore, the Discovery Centre at Melbourne Museum will soon be installing a display of Ancient Roman coins of the kind used in Pompeii until the beginning of the Roman Empire in 27 BC and Imperial coins that circulated in Pompeii between the start of the Empire in 27 BC and the burial of the town in AD 79.
Roman coins often featured gods, buildings, current events, emperors and members of the Imperial family. The coins circulating in Pompeii at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius would have all been struck after the coinage reform of Nero. After the great fire in Rome, Nero reduced the amount of metal in all coins. Older coins found with bodies at Pompeii would have been treasured savings being fearfully moved.
The coin display will be available to view in the Discovery Centre from Thursday 12 February, 2009.

A transitioning Arctic surface energy budget: the impacts of solar zenith angle, surface albedo and cloud radiative forcing

Snow surface and sea-ice energy budgets were measured near 87.5°N during the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS), from August to early September 2008. Surface temperature indicated four distinct temperature regimes, characterized by varying cloud, thermodynamic and solar properties. An initial warm, melt-season regime was interrupted by a 3-day cold regime where temperatures dropped from near zero to −7°C. Subsequently mean energy budget residuals remained small and near zero for 1 week until once again temperatures dropped rapidly and the energy budget residuals became negative. Energy budget transitions were dominated by the net radiative fluxes, largely controlled by the cloudiness. Variable heat, moisture and cloud distributions were associated with changing air-masses. Surface cloud radiative forcing, the net radiative effect of clouds on the surface relative to clear skies, is estimated. Shortwave cloud forcing ranged between −50 W m−2 and zero and varied significantly with surface albedo, solar zenith angle and cloud liquid water. Longwave cloud forcing was larger and generally ranged between 65 and 85 W m−2, except when the cloud fraction was tenuous or contained little liquid water; thus the net effect of the clouds was to warm the surface. Both cold periods occurred under tenuous, or altogether absent, low-level clouds containing little liquid water, effectively reducing the cloud greenhouse effect. Freeze-up progression was enhanced by a combination of increasing solar zenith angles and surface albedo, while inhibited by a large, positive surface cloud forcing until a new air-mass with considerably less cloudiness advected over the experiment area.

Date Last Verified: 13th November 2015
If you are looking for the chance to win a large amount of money online that could change your life, then progressive jackpots are the way to go. These type of slot games don't have fixed jackpots like ordinary slot games, they have a jackpot that increases with play. Each time money is staked and the reels spun, a small amount of that stake is allocated to the jackpot, so the it can be ever increasing.
Progressive jackpots can have a specific combination of symbols that you need to have appear in the correct place on the reels in any one spin to win. It may also be that the highest jackpot prize can only be won with the highest level of stake per game. However, there are also progressive jackpot games that can be won completely randomly and just at the time that the slot decides to payout. This means no specific symbols are required and it can be won at any stake level.
However, these latter type of slots may see the normal prizes on offer appear less frequently due to the fact that the mega jackpot can be won at the lowest stake level. Whichever type of progressive jackpot you play, there is no taking away from the fact that these huge prizes DO get won and can change your life forever.

By FRANCO PANIZO
LANDOVER, Md. — U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann sat at the table in the press conference room at FedEx Field on Saturday night without his usual cheerful smirk. Instead, he sported a stern look as he prepared to speak to the several dozens of reporters that filled the room for his postgame talk.
The typically optimistic Klinsmann had just witnessed his side suffer a 4-1 defeat to Brazil. And while there were positives to build on just as there had been four days prior following a rout of Scotland, the U.S. head coach was not pleased with how the game was officiated, leaving him to utter the words that are already causing a stir in some U.S. soccer circles.
"We've got to move on, but we need to get an edge more nastier," said Klinsmann. "Maybe we're a little bit still too naive, maybe we don't want to hurt people, but that's what you got to do. You've got to do that at the end of the day, so we've got to step on their toes more and get them more frustrated and make a case with the referee maybe as well for us, not only the opponents."
While some will focus on Klinsmann's choice of words, the overall meaning of what he said was, or at least should have been, well understood. The U.S. team had given too much respect to Brazil, especially at the start of the game, and the Americans lacked a bit of the necessary toughness that is required when taking on a world power like Brazil.
Some of the American players even said so.
"I agree with what he's saying," said goalkeeper Tim Howard. "He's probably talking about more from the opening whistle stamping that authority, ruffling their feathers, letting them know that they're going to be in for a tough game, not just towards the end or when the chips get down."
Added forward Herculez Gomez, who scored the lone U.S. goal: "I think that's a fair assessment. I think at times we came in with too much respect for them, because they were Brazil. Like I said, they bleed the same, they sweat the same, and when we imposed our game on them for certain stretches that second half, you were seeing them being the ones on their heels, tracking back, trying to hit us, trying to play a little dirty."
It is not as if Klinsmann's postgame comments following the Brazil match were the first time he had used the word 'nasty' or tried to talk about the Americans needing more of that type of attitude. He said it in the fall of 2011 when describing the play of German-American midfielder Danny Williams.
Klinsmann was asked to further elaborate on the topic of his team being too naive and not nasty enough later during the press conference, and he responded by saying the players need to be more forceful in terms of making things happen in the game and with the match official.
"It's just in the nature, still, of our game," said Klinsmann. "When you play these type of teams and you play it kind of at a higher emotional level against the Marcelos of the world, the Neymars, or whatever, and things are getting provoked, you also may have to make your case.
"If you watch big teams in the world when there's a call going against them, Barcelona is one of them, they come with 10 guys towards the referee, the referee is confused, he doesn't even know who to show a yellow card to. And I think we just need to be stronger to make our case, to tell clearly that this is not all right and to be more confident in certain moments."
The Americans may not have been as confident as Klinsmann would have liked in specific scenarios, but most pundits and fans would acknowledge there were signs of progress. Unlike in recent meetings against the Selecao, the United States tried to impose themselves by keeping possession and creating chances. The hosts did that well for stretches, but missing those chances and having some subpar moments in defense resulted in the lopsided loss.
Those aspects need to be further fine-tuned and improved before World Cup qualifying begins next week, as does the team's ability to play with the requisite toughness Klinsmann is seeking. But therein lies the problem.
Fixing the defense and correcting poor finishing are coachable, while Klinsmann is unsure if adding that toughness is.
"I don't know," said Klinsmann. "It's something that you certainly discuss, it's something that comes also out of their personalities and we have to develop it a little bit and mention it here and there. But obviously you don't want to change the characters.
"But I think it has a lot to do also with belief, believe in your capabilities and if you start to believe that, we can build something special towards 2014. Also with these games against Italy, against France, against Brazil, we get those experiences how to deal with them. In August with Mexico and later on in the year we play Russia in Russia. Those are the benchmarks. … It needs to be developed. How, I don't know yet."
Jones Tackle was not dirty or wrong. He was in control and cleanly got that ball with his studs. It was a foul because his body simultaneously went through Neymar's legs, but all his force was directed toward the ball.
+1 on refs reluctance to make calls when confronted. I can only think of a handful of officials internationally that don't cave, and maybe one in CONCACAF. It infuriates me that the refs aren't more assertive, but if they aren't then non-aggressive team is likely to suffer.
Agreed. Jay Demerit was our best center back during the WC and probably for the year around it. He was injured for awhile though. He's basically a smarter version of Onyewu with slightly better ball skills and passing.
I am with those who believe BB did a good job, but….I don't think the toughness of fighting back against Algeria and CR is quite the same thing that JK is talking about. The USMNT has been a plucky group who will fight hard and never, ever, quit. Witness those comebacks. However, I do think there is *still* a naivety in approach to think that just by trying hard enough we will eventually get results, or worse, that it is okay to try hard and fall short. That is not the same as coming right out toe-to-toe with the established powers ans saying that we've arrived, that we want what they have, and we are going to take it from them. Nope, not there yet.
Cant agree more, I hate when Barca does that. While we're at complaining to the refs, why dont we also just start getting "injured" as soon as the clock hits 65 and we're up? Why dont we start flopping whenever we're touched inside the box?
Just because other teams do it to try and gain an advantage, doesnt mean we need to. We win without using BS tactics like this, thats what I like about US soccer.
If he would have slid in one leg back and one forward it would have been avoided. Simple as that.
haha – cello shredded US, with a chip on his shoulder too. Of course we need someone like that. And yes F Johnson is a great addition too.
I disagree. In Urban areas "Nasty" is used to describe someone tough, or something beautiful. Jordan & Pippen were NASTY during the 90's! Rodman was NAAAASTY!
I completely understand what JK means by Nasty. I think some of you are trying to hard.
McGuire and the Patriots would disagree with you.
When you refer to the "old days in the Premiership," what, are you think the wilderness of, like, 1998? The Premiership didn't exist till 1992.
That was snotty and uncalled for. Sorry.
Hmmm…I hope klinsy is not talking about turning the us team into a buncha hatchet men. Klinsmann was the biggest flopper/diver ever during his playing days so I think the USMNT should tell him to be careful about what he says publicly. Besides the usa were plenty aggressive against a bunch of under 23 kids. Hitting neymar with dirty tackles is not the answer, this is not NFL nor rugby and it wont wash in europe and certainoly not at a world cup. Lets see if they can back it up when playing mexico at mexico city and try this kind of approach and not start a riot. Not a good statement by kins at all. What the USA need to do is learn to PLAY BETTER. Brazil with mostly kids played in second gear for 90 mins. If the americans had the skill or physicality to step it up you think brazil wont have? Unfortunately this current usa team is beginning to sound more and more like england in the 1980s, arrogant without being able to back it up. Lets see some genuine wins before the talk begins.
So this german dufus wants to turn the USA into a snarling, scowling nasty team? I sure as hell hope not…As Ive said many many times, were are using all the wrong role models to advance our cause. Copying germany, england – this is not the asnwer. Lets copy the kids who thrashed us instead, BRAZIL. Then finally maybe we get to see some progress of the right kind. Besides, all these tricks and gamesmanship jurgen is going on about has been tried before against brazil, wont work boys. First you need to match their quality theres no other easy way and you wont unruffle them with hard tackles. European teams such as england, scotland, ireland all tried it time and again during the 70s 80s and apart from a few wins here and there it never worked in crunch games. Brazil know how ti mix up their pretty soccer with dirty stuff if needed. Like i said , we are going in the wrong direction if this is juregens response to the defeat.
Jimi Hendrix
I dont know what JK is saying but its not good. He was part of a german team 1990 that was excellent but also very dirty. They knew all the tricks in the book, how to provoke opponents, and how to get players sent off. This is not a good road to travel, even to win. Even in england (who for some reason in soccer the usa seems to hold in high regard unlike in any other sport). they frown on this kind of behavior. Play hard by all means, dont be naive, but dont be dirty unless your opponents start to introduce it and quite frankly there was NOTHING dirty about the brazil olympic team. Anyone who says they were are just talking out of their backsides or are smoking something. I was impressed by neymar. Folks call him weak, blah blah, but he casme through the game didnt he and he came through the only dirty tackle in the game. That was a red csard for the us player. I think we have to realise physicality will only bring us so much. Brazil can be physical no problem, its a myth that they cant mix it up. So we need to match their skills, and with these musclebound jokers passing themselves off as US soccer players, I dont know that we can right now.
Nothing funny about the cheap shot though mate.
It was a disgraceful tackle. PERIOD. Its a sad state of US soccer when fans are defending this kind of behavior. Next you will say luis suarez is not a racist! haha.
So the yanks are defending horror tackles and dirty play now? Pele was quite literally kicked out of the 1966 world cup, wouldnt want to see a team with good potential like the yanks to end up being like argentina or uruguay. Not sure this german chap is the right way forward lads!
I loved the fact that neymar suckered jones into the tackle and the us player fell for it hook like and stinker.Great to watch.
Neymar is kicked punched and two-footed all the time throughout brazil and south america by fans and players who are jelous of skills and talent and want "to stamp their authority on him and the game" mpfhahahahahah. Jones tackle was like his little sister hitting him. All of you must not watch alot of FOOTBALL if you think that was hard for neymar hahahaha.
ben in el cajon
The problem is the word 'that.' You think it meant 'hurt people,' but Klinsmann was referring to 'play nasty,' the referent from his previous sentence. In other words, we need to risk hurting people. That's different than saying 'we need to hurt people.'
Clint threw a mild elbow. Jones took out Neymar's legs without a studs-up challenge. That's nasty; that's what I'm talkin' about.
Actually the brazilian KID told old man dempsey to shut it and then calm down. Sign language.
Sao paulo
johnson who?
I like the coaching style of Klinsmann
The tackle by Jones on Neymar was criminal. I'm surprised a leg wasn't broken. It was late in the game, there was no need for that. Jones should have been given a red card.
ok, well, that wasnt exactly easy to tell given you responded to a comment with a lineup for the game against Canada. but yes, he should get another look.
Boston Brad
Completely agree.
Sams Army
What was really appalling to see was the member of the usa coaching staff actually applauding such a vicious tackle. If this is the "new" team usa i want no part of it.
Kung Fu Kangaroos
Nastier … I think it was 1998 World Cup? Germany vs USA, Reyna gets a knee to the back within the first few minutes, was never effective the entire game, USA lose.
If this was an actual World Cup match, JK would have changed tactics and played more defensively. But the difference is that we would be able to actually possess and take it to the other team when we have the ball and not just counter quickly, lose the ball, and defend again.
nic d "the TEXAS 2 stepper"
Like dempsey? the guy is a loose cannon, a firebrand you cannot rely on. What if he gets himself sent off for acting like a goat? Who wins then?
Any player rolling on the field should be OFF for one minute. If he gets up quickly after the foul he should get a yellow. Americans are known as being assertive and yeah a little 'nasty', so the American way to play soccer should be the same. If you aren't dead after being fouled, get up and start playing. Do not take crap from anyone. Plus, anyone who touches a ref should get a yellow. Anyone arguing with the ref needs a yellow. The South American players, and some of the Europeans (if I had to watch Ribery cry again I was going to get sick – Chelsea finally really took him out and gave him something to cry about) look like a buch of wusses when they roll on the ground screaming. Can you imagine football, basketball or hockey with such theatrics????? We need to keep pressure on the offensive side of the field. [3-2-3-2-Goalie] is the way to go. Go USA!
