Ever received a package in the mail that looks like it's been through the wringer? Maybe it went through China's Guangzhou Airport, where a video of a disgruntled cargo handler recently went viral.
Watch this video, filmed by a passenger on-board, in which an airport worker half-heartedly hurls packages on to the plane's cargo loading belt. The worker doesn't even seem to notice (or care) when most of the boxes miss and hit the ground. It will make you think twice about what you're packing in your suitcase or shipping via air!

1907 Maytag washing machine.
The Maytag Repairman is one of the cleverest advertising devises in American history. He at once draws sympathy as the loneliest guy in town, with the subtext of the quality and dependability of the product.
There really was a Maytag -- Frederick Louis Maytag -- and he really had a repairman -- Howard Snyder -- who made the company into America's leading washing machine company in the 20th century.
It began with threshers.
Born on July 14, 1857, in Elgin,, Illinois, Frederick Louis Maytag, usually just called F.L., was the eldest of the 10 children on Amelia and Daniel William Maytag, who were Jewish immigrants from Germany. They changed the spelling of their name from Maitag, to Americanize it. They were farmers who moved to Laurel, Iowa, when F.L.was 10. Later, they moved to Newton, where F.L. made his fortune.
As an adult, F.L. did not farm but rather he sold farm equipment. In 1893, George W. Parsons had invented a thresher and he took F.L. and his two brothers-in-law as partners. But the Panic of 1893 and two wet growing seasons nearly did in the company. Maytag bought out his partners and hung in there.
Maytag stressed quality, reliability and dependability. A good businessman, Maytag followed complaints to the main office, and they came in from every place in the Midwest except Mower County, Minnesota. He investigated, He discovered his salesman in that territory had a son-in-law, Howard Snyder, who tinkered with the threshers and tractors, and made sure they were in working condition.
A native of Rose Creek, Minnesota, Snyder had no formal training or education in engineering, but Maytag had found his repairman, and offered Snyder a job as a field manager. But Snyder's son had died recently, and he did not want to put his family through the turmoil of relocating. Two years later, in 1898, at age 30, Snyder joined the company and moved to Newton. Snyder was Maytag's bets hire.
Snyder made improvements to the farm equipment that Maytag offered.
In 1909, Snyder had an idea that the company branch out and build washing machines, which were all the rage at the time. Maytag listened and realized washing machines would help the company in the off-season when farms were closed for the winter. The first model came out in 1907. It was primitive, but ladies loved them and they sold.
Snyder meanwhile worked on improving the washing machine, steadily building the foundation for today's machine. He also made improvements to the other products Maytag sold.
Maytag meanwhile tried to diversify his portfolio, nearly bankrupting the company as he piled up his debt, buying high and selling low the South Dakota Central Railroad, a short-lived short line that connected Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with Watertown, Iowa. But Maytag was a fair man and he reimbursed friends who had purchased stock on his advice.
He also unwisely invested in a bank, a mausoleum, a luxury automobile company. But as bad an investor as he was, Maytag was a good businessman. His was not the first washing on machine company, or even the first washing machine company in Newton. In fact it was the third such manufacturer in Newton.
But Maytag was a wise businessman. He stressed quality. He worked on promotion. He listened to customers. He listened to employees. After all, that was how he got in the washing machine business.
Snyder came up with the multi-motor which ran on gasoline. The motor ran so well, people used it to churn butter.
Maytag was aggressive, expanding his company by buying out competitors. In advertisements, he also was aggressive promising to end Blue Mondays, which was at the time when women did laundry.
He also served as a state senator, as well as mayor of Newton. Eventually Maytag would employ more than 3,000 people -- in a town of 15,000.
But World War I brought problems. Snyder's multi-motor needed revamping. The war caused shortages in supplies. Sales fell. Layoffs occurred. F.L. stepped aside and his son became president of the company in 1920. His father, after all, was 62..
However, 1920 also was the year Maytag introduced the first modern washing machine, the Model 72, or as its inventor Howard Snyder called it, the Gyrafoam, which pushed water through clothes rather than whipping them through the corrugated sides. The model saved the company and cemented Maytag's reputation as a reliable and dependable appliance. Maytag dominated the market, becoming the world leader in 1926.
F.L. was by then the figurehead of the company. For his 70th birthday in 1927, he gave $132,000 to his employees. In 1933, he moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Four years later, he died on March 26, 1937. A special train brought him back to Newton, where 10,000 employees and their family members lined the streets for his final viewing.
Snyder contracted multiple sclerosis and became homebound in 1925. He died two years later. Employees lined the streets of Newton to pay their respects.
The company did well under F.L's son and later his grandson. But after the death of his grandson, new managers came in. They began stressing profits over serving their customers, who began calling the products Amanatags, after Maytag acquired Amana.
Whirlpool acquired Maytag in 2009. This summer, Whirlpool shuttered the Newton plant.
Which is just as well. In 2007, Maytag had to recall 250,000 washing machines because they were fire hazards. Managers should have taken the name Maytag off their product then because F.L. deserves a better legacy.
The original Maytag repairman commercial. The loneliest guy in town.

Just look at the ingredients! Right amount of caffeine plus antioxidants--it's a healthy energy booster, and my new favorite!
I'm on my feet constantly in a casino environment and Labrada Supershot gives me that added boost and focus to get me through the day. Sorry 5 Hr. Energy but there's a new sheriff in town.
Everyone needs a boost of energy once in a while and this does the job perfectly. Best tasting energy shot on the market and I never get the crash after using it. I have been using charge super shot for years and always have it on hand when pulling a 24 hour shift.
I add the SuperShot to 8-10 oz of water with ice cubes every morning. I sip on the drink over my 30 minute drive to work. This is my perfect method. Provides energy for the entire morning and into the afternoon.
I add this to my sports drinks while I work out or play sports. This is the perfect intra workout / game drink. Keeps me going full tilt the entire time.
This is perfect energy boost while dieting. I don't have to worry about sugars or anything bad. This is one of the cleanest energy products I can find. 5 stars!
This product is like splashing cold water on your face in the middle of the day. It gives you a slap in the face and the energy you need to power through your day. Love this stuff
This product does a great job at naturally increasing my mood! Highly recommended.
With the amount of free radicals in our bodies these days its good to know we have products like this available. I am really enjoying Labrada's SuperShot. Perfect for that morning boost and I know its good for my bodies ability to function.
This product does exactly what it says, gives you long lasting energy. This is great for the late night drives when you want to make sure you can stay alert.
Not only is this a energy shoot you get a tone of B vitamins and antioxidants too. This is now become my morning coffee everyday all day! Great product! I would share with my friends but I like them to much so I tell them to get their own lol.
I have been using Super Charge shots ever since it came out and I Love it. It powers me through my workouts, tastes great. I have used a lot of energy shots that make you feel like youre going to have a heart attack. Super Charge shots give me the workout boost without the jitters.
I find charge super shot very helpful in the area of concentration and focus which is needed for my job. I do not always get the proper rest and I find coffee and coke cause me undue side-effects. Charge help me keep the energy with no side effects.
Labrada, you have a great product here. I've been looking for something to replace my morning coffee and I believe I've found it. Charge super shots gives me a boost of energy in the morning and when I'm debating between a lazy day or a workout day, I just drink one little majic bottle and it brings my tush into the gym! Best of all it's cheaper for me with my website member discount. Love it...Thanks!!!
Charge Super Shots really work, especially around that 2-3:00PM lull time in the afternoon. I keep a few bottles in my desk drawer at work, and definitely find myself reaching for one when the yawning starts!!
This tastes much better than 5 hour and has at least double the caffeine. My wife is going through Charge like crazy. She drinks a bottle in the morning and she is going all day. I am not kidding when I say I can tell when she takes it and when she does not. Clean house vs dirty house...(She'll kill me if she ever read this.) Anyways... I enjoy it too, but I am usually taking SuperCharge, so I can't double up on the caffeine. Oh, and mixing it with water makes a nice light punch drink.
Charge Supercharge shot is amazing! It helps me out every time I need a boost of energy for my workouts or to get me going in the morning! It's better then coffee and it has antioxidants, which are great for my skin! At the end of the day I still have energy to go to class and get my homework done!

"I missed Scandal for this?" The woman behind me was not impressed as we sat on risers and watched a small fraction of the 2,000 pigeons in the avian light show Fly By Night prepare for their Brooklyn Navy Yard debut. Her question made me wonder whether I had walked deep into the Navy Yard simply to watch pigeons fly. These, my feathered nemeses, were now the star of a show; it's a free show, sure, but one with a waiting list and a great review in The New York Times. It was akin to hearing that a childhood bully had become a movie star.
Growing up in New York City pigeons were a nuisance, not works of art. While the city has long had a tradition of rooftop pigeon coops and pigeon fanciers, to which Duke Riley, the artist behind the show, is paying tribute, their charms never seduced me. In fact, despite watching one hatch on my parents' balcony, I've spent most of my life in an avian cold war, never attacking them, but convinced that they would attack me if given the chance. Was detente finally here and and happening in Brooklyn? (more…)

The Faebreak
The lance of blue light cut off abruptly, and the scream of rage and pain died away slowly. The iceberg, no longer visible through the clouds of slightly warm fog, cracked and groaned as its newly changed weight stressed it. Its structure, weakened by the heating and evaporation, fractured along old fault lines, and with a sudden retort like a clap of thunder it calved, nearly forty percent of it splitting away. A wave spilled out from it, rocking the ship.
"Get the witch off my bridge," said the Captain, one foot kicking tentatively at her. "She's served her purpose, put her down with the others." Three crewmen, all wearing the steel-grey uniform of a junior rating, converged. Two lifted her arms, with the third holding her legs, and they carried her like a sack of new potatoes to the hatch that led down to the hold. Then one dropped her arm, tilting her precariously towards the deck, and opened the hatch and the other two dropped her through. They listened for the thump of her body striking the planking, then kicked the hatch closed again and dispersed about the deck.
One returned to the Captain to confirm that his order had been carried out, and the Captain nodded silently. The crewman disappeared to other tasks.
The helmsman spun the ships wheel, laid a hand on the control column, and waited for the Captain's order. The Captain still stood on the bridge gazing out at the swirling white and grey mists, seemingly lost in thought. While the helmsman waited, his nervousness began to grow apparant, and when the first chunks of ice bobbed into view, barely five metres from the ship and at the range of visibility, he drew himself together and dared to shout out to the Captain.
For agonizing moments the Captain seemed not to hear him, but then, at last, he turned his head away from the horizon and looked at the helmsman.
"Half speed, Helm!" he called, his voice deep and commanding. The helmsman's hand pushed the lever on the control column forward of its own accord, having been primed for just such an order for the last ten minutes, but the helmsman's eyes never left the Captain's face. Where the Captain's eyes should be were blue glows, a miniature blue sun in each socket.
Gears meshed once more, and the engine hummed, straining against the water to pull the ship away from the shattered iceberg and the danger of a shipwreck. Smaller chunks of ice clattered against the hull, some causing it to ring like a bell, but still the helmsman stared at his Captain, silently questioning what had happened.
"Maintain course, Helm," said the Captain. "And someone," his voice raised to a stentorian roar, "bring me that accursed witch!"

As part of a trip to the US, I booked a three-night stay at a hotel in Lennox, Massachusetts, and pre-paid £128 deposit on my NatWest MasterCard.
Shortly before leaving for the States, I received an unexpected email from a nearby hotel, initiated by the local chamber of commerce, to warn me the establishment I had booked was closed and I should make alternative arrangements. I tried to contact the hotel but there was no response, so I eventually decided to abandon this part of my trip and spend a few more days in New York. On my return, I asked NatWest to refund my £128, but they were somewhat unhelpful. CA, London
You are perfectly entitled to get your money back using the fantastic protection provided by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Although you sent back the standard questionnaire with copies of emails and postings from the internet about the hotel closing, you say NatWest told you to go to the hotel to prove it was shut down. It simply didn't believe you, and wanted you to do some very unreasonable detective work. NatWest told Capital Letters: "In order to carry out the chargeback, we ask customers to provide documentation to support and validate their claim." An apology for the inconvenience has now been made and £128 credited to your account.

Study objectives: To compare the effectiveness of oral moxifloxacin with standard antibiotic therapy in acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB).
Design: Multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind study of two parallel treatment arms.
Patients: Outpatients ≥ 45 years old with stable chronic bronchitis, smoking history of ≥ 20 pack-years, two or more AECBs in the previous year, and FEV1 < 85% of predicted value. Patients were enrolled when in a stable condition, and patients with exacerbations within 12 months of enrollment were randomized.
Interventions: Randomization (stratified on steroid use) between moxifloxacin (400 mg qd for 5 days) and standard therapy (amoxicillin [500 mg tid for 7 days], clarithromycin [500 mg bid for 7 days], or cefuroxime-axetil [250 mg bid for 7 days]).
Measurements: Assessment at enrollment, randomization (Anthonisen type 1 exacerbation), 7 to 10 days after treatment, and monthly until next AECB or up to 9 months. The primary efficacy variable was clinical success (sufficient improvement, no alternative antimicrobial therapy required) 7 to 10 days after therapy. Secondary predefined end points were clinical cure (return to pre-exacerbation status), further antimicrobial use, time to next AECB, and bacteriologic success.
Results: Three hundred fifty-four patients received moxifloxacin, and 376 patients received standard therapy. At 7 to 10 days after therapy, clinical success rates were similar in intention-to-treat (ITT) patients (95% confidence interval [CI], − 0.7 to 9.5) and per-protocol (PP) patients (95% CI, − 3.0 to 8.5). Moxifloxacin showed superior clinical cure rates over standard therapy in both ITT patients (95% CI, 1.4 to 14.9) and PP patients (95% CI, 0.3 to 15.6), and higher bacteriologic success in microbiologically valid patients (95% CI, 0.4 to 22.1). Fewer ITT patients required antimicrobials after treatment with moxifloxacin than standard therapy (p < 0.01). Time to next exacerbation was longer with moxifloxacin; median and mean times to new AECBs in ITT patients who did not require any further antibiotics were 131.0 days and 132.8 days in moxifloxacin, and 103.5 days and 118.0 days in standard therapy, respectively (p = 0.03). The occurrence of failure, new exacerbation, or any further antibiotic was less frequent in moxifloxacin-treated patients for up to 5 months of follow-up (p = 0.03).
Conclusions: Moxifloxacin was equivalent to standard therapy for clinical success and showed superiority over standard therapy in clinical cure, bacteriologic eradication, and long-term outcomes.

He was a former secret agent, coming out of retirement to help Julian Bashir save the Queen of England from being assassinated by Lady Wantsomore. Dunlap also was supposed to steal the girlfriend of Falcon, to drive around in "fancy automobiles and go to "posh parties". In 2373, Bashir wanted Odo to play Dunlap, but Odo was unsure and ultimately refused. (DS9: "A Simple Investigation")

What are you working on at the moment?
I'm working with one of London's poorest communities in Queen's Park, Westminster. Residents here want to set up London's first community council, to protect their already fragile social fabric from the effect of the economic cuts. I'm supporting them to achieve what is basically a layer of local government closest to the people it serves. But getting it approved is a complex business – not to be undertaken lightly.
Why did you choose to work in the voluntary sector?
After leaving university I started in what might have been a lucrative career in property. But I soon witnessed crooked business practices, exploitation and the degrading conditions in which the poorest in our communities live. No one else in that world seemed to see anything wrong in it – all they saw was money and their own self-interest – but I wanted no part in that system. The experience prompted me to choose instead to work for a world where people care about each other – where values extend beyond the markets.
What's your proudest moment in your career so far?
It's difficult to feel proud. Having dedicated my professional life to supporting grassroots change with some success on a local level, it is disappointing that at a macro level the gap between the haves and have-nots is the widest it has ever been in this country. With this trend, the maxim "think global, act local", which I have tried to live by, feels dangerously like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. However, seeing the residents I have worked with doing their best to take control of their lives is what makes me proudest – I feel privileged to be working with such great people. It gives me hope that lessons can be drawn from this local effort and put to work for other disadvantaged communities around the country.
What's the greatest challenge you face in your professional life?
As a society we need to face up to the facts that have been staring at us for ages – facts about the inequality inherent in our system but which we choose to ignore. One of the biggest challenges for professionals in the sector is to provide the urgently needed sticking plaster, while at the same time helping to prescribe longer-term medicine to tackle the root causes of our society's problems. Unfortunately, our professional expertise is too often overlooked.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
If the Campaign for a Queen's Park Community Council is successful, five years on I hope to be advising other communities in the UK on how they too can take greater control of their local affairs. If, however, permission is refused for this initiative, it will signal the end of hope for a generation of concerned citizens. If that were to happen I couldn't continue to be part of such a system while powerless to influence it – I would probably become a subsistence farmer in Tuscany.
What's the one thing you'd change about the voluntary sector?
Rather than setting its own independent priorities as it used to, the voluntary sector is finding itself increasingly used as a government sub-contractor, doing only what the public funders want to pay for. Some way must be found to reverse this trend, which inevitably promotes the interests of people in power over those who are meant to be the beneficiaries, and leads to a stifling of necessary innovation.
Name one person who's inspired you in your professional life.
An outstanding thinker and economist of the 20th century, EF Schumacher. His book, Small is Beautiful, published in 1973, the year I was born, remains – according to the TLS – one of the 100 most influential books of the last half century. Many of the issues it explores are coming back into vogue: localism, decentralisation, human-scale decision-making and sustainable production. He championed quality of life over unbridled consumerism, and promoted fulfillment at work through co-operatives and mutuals. We need Schumacher more than ever as we confront the failings of our political and financial system.

SESSION TITLE: ICU Complications
SESSION TYPE: Affiliate Case Report Slide
PRESENTED ON: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 07:30 AM - 08:30 AM
INTRODUCTION: There is a tremendous increase in the number of central venous catheters (CVCs) inserted by the house staff due to the ease of insertion using the ultrasound guidance. Increasing number of cases with right atrium/ventricle perforation has been reported. There is a strong need for the recommendations on safe length of the guide-wire to be inserted. Studies have shown that the cavo-atrial junction averages about 18 cm from internal Jugular/ Subclavian sites and positioning guide-wire and catheters any deeper is rarely needed [1].
CASE PRESENTATION: 22 year old male with sickle cell disease was admitted for sickle cell painful crisis. Vital signs and physical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory results revealed chronic anemia. Chest X-ray and electrocardiogram(EKG) were normal. Right internal jugular central venous catheter (CVC) was placed under ultrasound guidance due to poor peripheral access. Patient tolerated the procedure well. Chest X-ray confirmed the position of the catheter in the superior venacava without any evidence of pneumothorax. After 24 hours of line placement, patient complained of chest tightness with palpitations, required higher oxygen concentration and Chest X-ray revealed enlarged cardiac silhouette with right pleural effusion. CT chest showed bilateral pleural and pericardial effusion. CVC tip is in superior vena cava. Patient condition worsened rapidly with distended neck veins, marked respiratory distress requiring intubation. Cardiac Tamponade was suspected and confirmed by Echocardiogram. Emergent pericardiocentesis was performed and transferred to OR. Intra-operative findings showed enlarged heart with right atrial laceration/ perforation with possible clot formation. Patient developed cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity.
DISCUSSION: Andrews et al. published an article "How much guidewire is too much" measuring the distance from various insertion sites to cavo-atrial junction (1). There is no clear cut consensus or guidelines on the length of the guidewire to be inserted, although most agree with no more than 18 cms for right sided approach and 20 cms for left sided approach or until the appearance of ectopic rhythms (2). Recent trend in increased CVC insertion by trainees requires an urgent need for guidewire length recommendations and its importance in order to minimize this dangerous complication.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac Tamponade caused by a central venous catheter can be disastrous. Simple precautions and technique can minimize this complication.
Reference #1: Andrews RT, Bova DA, Venbrux A, "How much guidewire is too much? Direct measurement of the distance from subclavian and internal jugular vein access sites to the superior vena cava-atrial junction during central venous catheter placement". Crit Care Med. 2000;28(1):138. PMID10667513

Richardson & Wrench has expanded its footprint with three new offices added in the past two months.
The group has recently added two new Sydney offices – Hinchinbrook/Hoxton Park office on 15 February and Ryde City on 1 January.
It also strengthened its presence in regional NSW by opening a Bathurst office on 22 December.
The three new offices joined the network via different routes – one switched from a rival franchise, one transitioned from being an independent, and the other involved a partnership of five agents.
Executive director Andrew Cocks said Richardson & Wrench's tailored franchise structure offers different levels of support for operators at different stages of the business cycle.
"This is a natural progression of R&W bespoke, which acknowledges that the one-size-fits-all franchise model does not suit everybody," Mr Cocks said.
"We're about attracting the best operators who share the R&W values and working with them to develop a structure that suits their circumstances and business goals."
Mr Cocks said another attractive part of the Richardson & Wrench model is that it offers exclusive territories. The group has more than 120 territories operated by 102 offices.
According to CoreLogic RP Data figures for January, Hinchinbrook's median prices are $554,000 for houses and $450,000 for units.
That represented annual growth of 13.9 per cent and 14.2 per cent, respectively.
Ryde houses jumped 34.4 per cent to $1.2 million, while units rose 6.5 per cent to $660,000.
Bathurst houses climbed 1.9 per cent to $322,000, while units grew 6.4 per cent to $261,000.

Judy Moody Predicts the Future

Judy went to find the librarian.
"What did you get?" Frank asked when she came back.
"Predict Your Head Off!" said Judy. "It's all about people who predicted stuff about the future. Lynn helped me find it. She's the cool librarian with the fork-and-pie earrings. Not the mad-face librarian."
"Hey! It's a Big Head book. I love those. How come they draw the people with such big heads, anyway?" Frank asked.
"Maybe it's to hold all those big ideas about the future. Look, see?" said Judy, pointing to her book. "These people predicted earthquakes and fires and babies being born."
"Nobody can predict the future," said Frank. "Can they?"
"Ya-huh!" said Judy. "It says right here. Books don't lie."
"Let me see," said Frank.
"See? Jeane Dixon, Famous American Fortuneteller. She was some lady in Washington, D.C., who stared into her eggs one morning and predicted that President Kennedy would be shot. And she predicted an earthquake in Alaska."
"It also says she predicted that Martians would come to Earth and take away teenagers. I wish that would happen to my big sister."
"If only Stink were a teenager," said Judy.
"Look! It says here that that Jeane Dixon lady saw stuff in whipped cream!" said Frank.
"I've seen stuff in whipped cream, too," said Judy. "Lots of times."
"Like what?"
"Like chocolate sprinkles," Judy said, and they both cracked up.
"Hey,look at this," said Judy. "This book can help us with our spelling test. For real."
"No way."
"Way! See this guy?"
"The bald guy with the bow tie?"
"Yep. It says that he lived right here in Virginia. They called him the Sleeping Prophet. When he was our age, like a hundred years ago, he got into trouble in school for being a bad speller. One night he fell asleep with his spelling book under his head. When he woke up, he knew every word in the book. RARE!"
"I'm still going to study," said Frank.
"Not me!" said Judy, wiggling into her coat.
"What are you going to do?" asked Frank.
"I'm going to go home and sleep," said Judy.
When Judy got home, Stink was at the door.
"I don't have to study for my spelling test," she said, and gave him a big fat hug.
"What's that for?" asked Stink.
"That's for just because."
"Just because why?"
"Just because tomorrow I am going to know tons and tons of words, like woodbine."
"Wood what?"
"It's a creepy vine. It wraps around trees."
"So go find a tree to hug," said Stink.
Instead, Judy went to find the dictionary. The fattest dictionary in the Moody house. She took it from her mom's office and lugged it up to her room. She did not open it up. She did not look inside. She put the big red dictionary under her pillow. Then she got into her cozy bowling-ball pajamas. She pretended the bowling balls were crystal balls. When she brushed her teeth, she thought she saw a letter in her toothpaste spit. D for Dictionary.
Judy climbed under the covers and leaned back on her pillow. Youch! Too hard. She got two more pillows. At last, she was ready to dream.
Even before she fell asleep, she dreamed of being Queen of the Spelling Bee, just like Jessica Finch was one time for the whole state of Virginia. She dreamed of Mr. Todd's smiling face when he passed back the tests. Most of all, she dreamed of getting 110% -- zero-wrong-plus-extra-credit -- on her spelling test.
She could hardly wait for school tomorrow. For once, she, Judy Moody, not Jessica (Flunk) Finch, would get a Thomas Jefferson tricorn-hat sticker for Great Job, Good Thinking.

Of course! How am I going to meet my prince charming if no one bothers to save me?
A completely understandable opinion. I mean, princesses aren't just locked away in towers for nothing. Meeting a daring prince charming is pretty much the sole reason for this practice. Of course, you've been waiting and waiting for about seventeen years, and still, no one has come.
Let's get some things straight—Any magical powers? Curses? Anything utterly wrong with you?

One of Oklahoma's top athletes had heard a lot about a place called Rocky Top, about the Smoky Mountains and the traditions of the University of Tennessee.
Tulsa's DeMarco Cobbs was expecting his trip to be good, he admitted to InsideTennessee.com Sunday morning, that the trip was ended up being better than he expected it to be.
"It was really cool," Cobbs said. "I really enjoyed myself a lot. I knew coming into the visit it was going to be good, I didn't expect to be as great as it was. It was definitely better than I expected it to be."
So much that when asked about his top favorites, Cobbs had this response.
"Tennessee is definitely one of my top favorites," Cobbs said. "My top six right now are Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma and Georgia."
One thing that stood out to Cobbs was Lane Kiffin and the incredible coaching staff he has assembled in Knoxville.
"I really like the fact that Coach Kiffin is so young, but at the same time is so on top of his game," Cobbs explained. "It appears that he really relates to his players well. I got the opportunity to talk to several of the current players."
Cobbs is also impressed with the entire coaching staff.
"When you look at all their experience it's incredible," Cobbs said. "Everyone is so high energy and excited about being at the University of Tennessee."
Cobbs wasn't pressured into making a decision, a fact that the talented athlete appreciated.
"They just made sure I knew how important I was to them and their recruiting class," Cobbs said. "They really made me feel comfortable and at home."
Cobbs is uncertain when he might make a decision.
"It could happen anytime," Cobbs said. "I just want to make sure I make the right decision, I think I will know when the time is right."
Cobbs is listed at 6-foot-2, 205-pounds, but appears much closer to the 6-foot-4 range. He is rated by Scout.com as the No. 7 over wide receiver in the country and is a four star prospect.

is evidence solid enough to impeach or remove him from office by court action???
I suspected blackmail when we stripped Poland and another country I can't remember of their missile shield. It was done overnight with barely a courtesy call to our allies; seemed to be done frantically and under duress.
I saw it coming.............
Now our nom (G_d forbid) is the son of a Mexican national.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Bammy refuses to step down because Mittens is not a NBC either?
Bet ya didn't see that one coming.
Irael needs to spill the beans on the Kenyan bastard.
They have the whole story on him.
It's true. We selected our own executioner. When SCOTUS decides Obamacare is constitutional, get ready for a civil war.
Gotta disagree with one point here - I don't think Obama has to be blackmailed into doing any of this nonsense, his Marxist, America-hating inclinations make this come naturally to him.
Obama is acting like a internationalist Marxist because he is an internationalist Marxist. The birther blackmail angle is pure conspiratorial speculation based on zero evidence.
For later
The Russians are experts at blackmailing crooked politicians.
Once upon a time in America, being openly gay was reason to deny certain security clearances for just this exact reason.
Did a flashback of negative issues. Including, letting the Russian spies go home without investigation. Bravo reality show crashers and blaming SS.
Believes is was a setup, especially when the issue was a $47 dispute.

Could ObamaCare, the goal of which was universal health coverage, actually increase the number of uninsured? If it does, the blame will fall almost entirely on provisions in the law, not Republican opposition to it.
ObamaCare has three key parts intended to greatly expand the number of Americans with health coverage:
(1) The individual mandate requiring nearly every American to have insurance or pay a penalty tax; (2) health insurance exchanges, where people below 400% of the federal poverty level will get federal subsidies (i.e., tax dollars) to help pay for coverage, and (3) a massive expansion of Medicaid up to 138% of the poverty level.
What has become clear is that all three legs of the ObamaCare stool are wobbly and could collapse as more pressure is applied.
The health insurance mandate was supposed to force the uninsured, especially the young and healthy, to get coverage. And the employer mandate, which the president has postponed for one year, was supposed to keep employers from dropping coverage.
But the penalty on individuals is much less than the cost of coverage: the greater of $95 or 1% of income in 2014, rising to $695 or 2.5% of income by 2016.
However, the IRS, which enforces the mandate, only has the authority to deduct the penalty from a person's tax refund. It won't take long for the working uninsured to figure out how to withhold only enough income to meet their income tax obligation, thus facing no effective penalty.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated last year that 6 million Americans would forgo coverage and pay the penalty. But now we know that premiums will increase substantially for many Americans.
For example, a National Journal assessment of the individual market expects two-thirds of workers with single coverage and 57% of workers with family coverage will see their costs go up in the exchange, increasing the likelihood that millions will drop their coverage or remain uninsured.
The second leg of the stool is the health insurance exchanges, which are supposed to facilitate buying a policy and provide federal subsidies that will lower the effective cost of coverage.
The law's drafters assumed states would create their exchanges, but the federal government will impose one on states that don't. The CBO estimates 18 million Americans could benefit from the subsidies provided through the exchanges.
However, as the Cato Institute's Michael Cannon and Case Western Reserve University's Jonathan Adler have explained, the law clearly says the federal subsidies are only available in the state-created exchanges.
Officials at the IRS intend to provide subsidies to all exchanges regardless of what the law says. The state of Oklahoma has sued the federal government to stop the IRS, and a federal court recently ruled the case can move forward.
If the courts decide that federal subsidies are available only in state-created exchanges, people in the 34 states that didn't create one will not have access to the subsidies. Under the law, people are not required to have coverage unless it is "affordable," which is defined as not exceeding 8% of household income.
Given that the average family policy costs about $15,000, coverage will be unaffordable for virtually all middle-income families, thus exempting them from the mandate.
The final leg is the Medicaid expansion. So far, 25 states have not yet voted to expand the program. For the opt-out states, not much will change for those with incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level; those with incomes above that level could choose to go into the exchange.
A recent Urban Institute study suggests there are 7 million potentially eligible beneficiaries who won't have access to Medicaid coverage because not all states expanded Medicaid.
About 50 million Americans lacked health insurance in 2010 when ObamaCare passed.
The CBO, expecting moderate premium increases, estimates that about 33 million will remain uninsured when the law is fully implemented — a difference of 17 million under the best of circumstances.
But with (1) dramatically higher premiums discouraging young and healthy people to drop coverage, (2) states rejecting state-created exchanges leaving perhaps 10 million without subsidies and unable to afford coverage, and (3) 7 million low-income Americans who won't be getting expanded Medicaid, the CBO's estimate may prove to be wildly optimistic.
In short, as various ObamaCare assumptions have begun to unravel, we should start to worry that we could have as many if not more uninsured after the law takes effect.
If so, the lawmakers who gave Americans this bitter, multi-trillion-dollar health reform pill may find their medicine hard to swallow.

lol I guess Trump had to work to pull away.
Did Marcon squeeze too tight?
I heard something about him being warned about Trump's aggressively tight handshake. Did the French president just say, "Fuck dat shizzle. I WILL HAVE THE STRONGEST!"?
Yeah, had that Day of the Death look?
Probably because "human" Death looked plain as fuck, and bone Death didn't look sexy enough.
Not really.
Usually her two modes are whether she is flesh or bone.
Yeah, in his currently ongoing miniseries.
I'm sorta wondering if that IS Death since her goals seem... odd.
I mean, I wish I had more time to think this through properly as well, but a bare minimum like this can be done by anyone. It's a shame, just that.
Let's try
Thanks for going through with this with me, I was really looking forward to it, despite being extremely busy.
