What the hell is wrong with me? Why, why, oh why, am I always waiting for the all too familiar thud of "the other shoe." Maybe it's just that. Maybe it's simply because it is all too familiar. I don't know. I'm a basically trusting soul; it's not as though I'm hanging around expecting something to go wrong. I have a positive outlook on life, at the crux of which is my belief that the things that happen in my life happen for a reason. And, while I don't relish hard or harsh times, I've always managed to come through rough experiences with my spirit and sense of humor firmly intact.
If I total up all of the losses (of various sorts) in my life, the list is daunting. I would say they are balanced by the good rather than outweighed by the good (using an opposite ends of the spectrum approach versus measurable magnitude). Still, as I've said before, I wouldn't trade a minute, because all of it has made me who I am, and I happen to rather like who I am. I'm not a worrier. I don't stew and fret over realities, much less intangible possibilities. It's not fear either.
So, what is it that keeps my ear constantly tuned in to the idea of a single shoe hitting the floor? What is it that makes me look at a glorious Spring sky and, even as I appreciate the enormous beauty of it, wonder when it's all going to fall in? I just don't get it. Someone tell me, because this has been bugging me for a while now.
I mean, here I am, finally at a point in my life where I like who I am, I have a wonderful guy in my life, with the exception of some fun, luxury stuff, I really don't want for anything, I have amazing, loving and kind friends from all over the globe, I've been given the latitude to pursue my creative, artistic side, and I'm living in an area that bursts with natural beauty. And I appreciate it all, I do and I enjoy every minute. I'm fully aware of and grateful for how blessed my life is. I know that this life spins and changes on a very thin dime. I know nothing lasts forever. I don't expect it to. But isn't constantly listening for a sudden, disruptive, dischordant crash a little extreme? So, where does the feeling come from and how do I get rid of it, 'cause it's driving me nuts.

``TECHNICALITIES'' -- (House of Representatives - December 11, 2007)
Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to respond to my colleagues' remarks from last week that ``technically, the troops are funded right now,'' as if the bottom line on the budget report is sufficient for some in this chamber to ensure that our war fighters have all the resources that they need.
Well, war is a serious business, Mr. Speaker, and we are indeed a Nation at war. Our men and women in harm's way don't have time for our political games or ``technicalities.'' Clever word play isn't going to turn DOD ink from red to black. There is nothing ``technical'' about the risk our war fighters face every day. They are not fighting an enemy that ``technically'' wants to do us harm. Instead, they are fighting a lethal terrorist network actually bent on spreading real Islamist totalitarianism in Iraq and across the globe.
Mr. Speaker, the success of the surge strategy in Iraq is not making things ``technically'' better. We are seeing actual results and real improvement on the ground. Even the most liberal newspapers admit that the improvement is real. IED attacks are not ``technically'' down; they are actually fewer in number, fewer bombs being placed to attack our troops and Iraqi allies. Casualties rates are not ``technically'' down. We are actually losing fewer Americans as the security conditions improve.
These improving conditions are not ``technically'' creating reconciliation. Iraqis across the country are really beginning to bridge age-old divides as they unite to secure their future. By playing political games with vital war funding, we are not ``technically'' sending a message to our war fighters in harm's way, we are actually putting all of the progress that they have made in very real jeopardy. Mr. Speaker, is that a message we choose to send?
My own constituents, civilian and soldiers alike, work at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne. This holiday season, two brigades of the 101st are serving in Afghanistan and two more in Iraq. They are supported by the men and women at Fort Campbell, and their families are embraced by the citizens of Clarksville and Montgomery County, Tennessee.
This Christmas, if we don't actually provide DOD the funding they need, my constituents will begin to get furlough letters in the mail. There is nothing ``technical'' about being laid off. There is nothing ``technical'' about being told that in 60 days you won't get a paycheck. It is very real.
Before this Chamber actually adjourns so that we can spend happy and comfortable holidays with our families, I would ask my colleagues to please remember these constituents of Clarksville, Tennessee, who are actually in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan and who are actually worried about being laid off next year.
I urge my colleagues not to return home until we actually give the troops the very real funding that they need. Our men and women are not ``technicalities,'' they are indeed our sons, our daughters, our neighbors, our constituents. They are the bravest among us. They need our support and they deserve a Congress who will honor their service and who will do our job.

DE ANGELIS SECURES SECOND ROW START AT PHILLIP ISLAND San Carlo Honda Gresini rider Alex de Angelis will start from the second row of the grid in tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix following another impressive performance in this afternoon's...
San Carlo Honda Gresini rider Alex de Angelis will start from the second row of the grid in tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix following another impressive performance in this afternoon's single qualifying practice. The San Marino rider shrugged off an early crash to lap sixth fastest at the end of a typically intense session, his performance all the more impressive considering that he was forced to use his second bike, which had a setting he was not entirely comfortable with.
Toni Elias made progress throughout the day after complaining of a severe lack of grip yesterday. A rain shower in this morning's final free practice provided a minor setback but in the afternoon the Spaniard was still able to shave almost two seconds off his best lap time from yesterday. However, despite being less than half a second off the pace of his team-mate his best time was only good enough for eleventh position.
Alex De Angelis (6th; 1'31.260): "It was a real shame about the crash because I had a good feeling from the start of the session and that was the bike that had the better setting on, in terms of working with the hard race tyre, and it would have been good to get some more laps on it. Having said that there were some things about the setting on the other bike that I liked and I was able to push it and set a few laps in the 1'31.2, 1'31.3 mark. The good thing is that we have found good things from both settings -- now we have to work how best to combine them together! Either way I'm pleased with our performance today and confident about the race tomorrow."
Toni Elias (11th 1'31.640): "We improved this morning and again in the afternoon but not enough for my liking at all. I'm really not sure how much more we can improve things tomorrow or what our expectations can be for the race so the target just has to be to get as good a start as possible and see who we can follow. It is a matter of finding some more traction and I suppose the thing that would really help us is if we get more sunshine tomorrow. Hopefully we get a little bit of help from the weather but the late race start time doesn't make me too optimistic!"
Fausto Gresini - Team Manager: "I'm pleased to see that Alex confirmed the good form that he already showed yesterday. The second row is an excellent starting position and tomorrow he can aim for a top result. It is a shame about the crash in the first part of the practice - without that things could have been even better. Toni still has traction problems and I'm afraid it looks like it will be a tough race for him tomorrow, However, knowing his determination, I believe he will make the best of the situation."

LAFAYETTE —A Louisiana team enters a state rivalry game Monday night atop the Sun Belt standings.
But, surprise! It's not defending tournament champion Louisiana-Lafayette. It's the rejuvenated Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, who managed all of 10 wins a season ago.
Thanks to a school-record five-game Sun Belt winning streak, ULM is the league leader at 5-1 going into Monday's 7:15 p.m. contest with the Ragin' Cajuns in the Cajundome.
The Warhawks (11-6) already have topped their win total of last season, and they moved into first place with a 64-52 home win over Arkansas-Little Rock on Saturday.
The Cajuns (10-7, 4-2) could have set up a battle for first place between the teams but had a defensive meltdown in the second half and were upset 89-82 by South Alabama on Saturday, their second conference loss in a row.
"We knew exactly what they were going to run. We had them scouted, but we didn't defend them," coach Bob Marlin said after watching USA hit 20 of 30 shots in a 54-point second half. "The first half we played well for a stretch, and then we didn't play well in the second half."
Playing well hasn't been a problem for ULM, which lost its league opener 65-45 at Georgia State but has run off five straight wins since. Three of those wins came at home, where the Warhawks are 8-0, and all were by single-digit margins until Saturday's victory.
"The whole roster has improved, and that showed," ULM coach Keith Richard said after Saturday's win. "I thought we played really well, except for missing a bunch of wide-open 3s in the first half against their zone. We were playing great defensively and really good offensively; we just couldn't make a 3."
Defense has been the hallmark of the Warhawks, who haven't won six straight since the 1998-99 season. ULM enters Monday's game leading the conference and ranked in the top 25 nationally in field goal percentage defense (.373) and 3-point defense (.283), along with allowing only 60.7 points per game. The Warhawks haven't allowed an opponent to reach 75 points this season.
The Cajuns are the Sun Belt's highest-scoring team, averaging 81.8 points, and they have topped 80 in nine of their past 10 games. The only lull in that run was Thursday's 78-70 loss at defensive-minded Georgia Southern, when the Cajuns shot only 38.6 percent to end a four-game winning streak.
The Cajuns shot 39.7 percent in Saturday's loss and made only 11 of 35 attempts after halftime.
"We didn't make shots," Marlin said. "I thought we executed our stuff at times, but (USA) shot 10 less shots and made five more. They gained more confidence each possession."
Shawn Long had a 22-point, 22-rebound performance in the loss; it was his 42nd double-double and was tied for the sixth-highest rebound performance in school history. But he struggled with a 6-of-18 shooting mark against the Jaguars' double-teaming defense.
"Things happen," Long said. "We still have a lot of basketball to play. In my opinion, I think we're the best team in this conference — hands down. I'm disappointed, but we'll get in the gym and make sure we fix it for Monday. The team we play Monday is three times better than the team we played (Saturday)."
ULM will answer Long inside with junior Majok Deng, who had 14 points and a career-high 15 rebounds against UALR for his fourth double-double of the year. Senior Tylor Ongwae (13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds) leads the Warhawks in scoring, and senior Marvin Williams is the reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week while carrying averages of 14.5 points and 7.0 rebounds.
"We've got to focus on the next game since we've got only a one-day prep," Marlin said. "(ULM is) obviously playing very well. Right now, it's about eliminating your losses."
Women seek fourth straight win
The UL-Lafayette women will go for their fourth straight win Monday when they face UL-Monroe at 5 p.m.
The Cajuns (11-4, 3-3) started league play 0-3 but have rebounded with wins over Georgia State, Georgia Southern and South Alabama. UL-Lafayette had four double-figure scorers in Saturday's 65-58 comeback win, paced by 15 each from Jaylyn Gordon and Keke Veal. They forced 21 turnovers, their 10th game causing 20 or more miscues this season.
ULM (5-10, 1-5) has lost three in a row and seven of eight, its only win since mid-December a 63-51 road victory at Texas-Arlington on Jan. 8. On Saturday, ULM lost 79-41 to visiting Arkansas-Little Rock, the Sun Belt leader.

Flow through a perforated drum
I'm trying to figure out the way how to model a flow through a perforated rotating drum in the simplest way. The image below should clarify the situation I am talking about.
The main domain of interest of the simulation i'm trying to do lies upstream from the inlet marked in the figure above, but because the drum rotation influences the flow quite significantly i might have to include the drum in the simulation.
The diameter of the drum is approx 0.9m, the length is 0.8m and it is perforated by 6mm holes. Meshing the drum would mean quite a lot of cells, so I was thinking about some alternative approach, that does not necessarily have to be 100% accurate. The outcome of this should be only a qualitative assessment of how the rotating perforated drum influences the channel flow.
My first idea was to use a rotating porous media zone concept, but I haven't reached any promising approach. Is there, in general, any way how to model a permeable rotating wall/zone or is this thought absolutely non reasonable?
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks in advance,
|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 00:16.

The Shanghai Sauna called Kang Ding is one of the less in the city center of Puxi (not far away from Jing An Temple and from several top hotels like Hilton, Shangri La, Ritz Portman and so on.
They are not big (around 25 rooms) and they also not have a large selection of girls, but they are simply the place with the most upscaled stunning girls in Shanghai! That`s for what the club got popular in the Chinese community longer time already. They are not cheap compared with most other saunas and also have restrictions with number of shoots (for the top models), but beside all that, they have definitely the most gorgeous sauna girls in town. So if it`s your target to have the most up scaled available lady, than you should definitely give the Kang Ding Sauna a try!

I have asked Xiao Jing, she said the Kangding boss will open a new one in Hongkou, still decoration now, might open end of this month, not sure now, and not named Kanding ,but most Kangding girls will go back to there to work, and the price is same as Kangding. will let you know if they open later.
Have a good time
I was in touch in touch with Xiao Jing. It seems that they moved to Hongkou. Difficult for me to understand due to translation. Could you please check ? Thanks !
this place still closed, coz Jiangan and Zhabei area has " wind" so to make sure customer safe better close. as long as I get information they will open, I will let you guys know.
Have fun
Had this sauna reopened? Or do you know when it may restart its activities?
thank you for your hint, we removed the link, because after split up the girls in their "category levels" the link is not useful any more. You better use the menu to come to the girls galleries.
Have fun,
Hi, girls gallery link for VIP does not work.
Sorry guys, the manager just told me they can't open today, don't know the specific date when they can open, will let you know as long as the manager message me.
Have fun
the manger told me they will open on 1st April
Have fun
Kang Ding will close one week from today, if they open these days I will let you know.
Have fun
Have been there today with 2 customers around 5:30 and even I am personally not into the "D-Cup", there have been some real stunners in selection. And we talk already about the M-Girls. Actually they
are only open the "hidden back door" and this seems to reduce the number of guests, and so there are more girls in selection than.
Have a good time and fun there,
I have been there with a customer sunday evening around 7:30. That time the selection included airound 10 M girls, andother 4 Q girls and 3 X girls. Like always an overfloating of busy cuties, no girl with less than C I would guess, so for the tits lover a paradise, compared with others. But I would not try to get a tiny Chinese girl there.
At the moment they are operation in "stealth mode", that means the main entry is closed and from outside it will not be any activity visible, but using a backside entry they can provide business as usual. But because of that the visit without any appointment is nearly impossible. You probably will not find the entry neither get the door opened, so better contact Xiao Jing to get you in.
Have fun there,
luckily for all the Kang Ding lovers, we are able to inform you, that the sauna is back to the normal business and the girls there for sure will all looking forward to your visit ;-)
Have fun in the Kang Ding Sauna,
Hi, Is the sauna open already?

You need to be VIP member for access to that page, but our membership is less than the discount of RMB 200 you will get as a VIP member for only one visit there (beside the discount you also will get on other locations ;-) So simply get your VIP membership, get access to the manager`s wechat and same time save money ;-)
Thanks for support our work,
What is the manager's wechat?
@ Frank
you can add the manager's we chat, she post every" today available girls" pic on her we chat, and update all the time, so very easy to know which number is which girl. if you like you can book, but some girls maybe already booked by others, if you want to book, you better ask the manager if the girl is still available.
Wish you have a good time
Can i book a girl in advance in the Kang Ding? I haven't seen the Numbers of the girls in the wip area? So the today available girls Message not reális help.

@ John
they only accept Chinese credit card and China UnionPay card, so better bring some cash.
Have a good time
Do they accept credit cards?
My second experience was terrible. I went at around 3pm on a Tuesday, it seemed like they were quite busy but i got ushered straight through to the lineup.There were around 4A, 2M and 4X girls. Again the A and M girls were very very ordinary and i was not interested at all, all 4 X girls were super super super hot! Problem was i only had 1000RMB in my pocket, i tried to explain to Tian Tian that i wanted an A or M girl but wasn't interested in any of those on offer and that i wanted to wait for a new lineup. She either couldn't understand what i meant or she did but just wasn't having it, so i finally gave in against my better judgement and agreed to take one of the M girls (big mistake) Steven - what can i say in this situation to make her understand i want to wait and see the next lineup of girls? Anyway the girl was really not attractive to me, which sometimes if the service is good i can be ok with, but the service was also very ordinary. Very mechanical, wouldn't allow kissing, or touching anywhere, wasn't really interested in any position other than missionary. It was incredibly boring. I came once and still had about 50mins on the clock if they are supposed to be 90min sessions, she instantly wanted me back in the shower which i took to mean she wasn't interested in another go, i really couldn't be bothered either so i showered and left. 998 with the discount for a 40min session with an unattractive dead fish. Can't remember her number sorry.
I've been here twice in the past couple of weeks and had a couple of very different experiences.. First time was a Thursday at opening time, arrived at 12:45pm, waited until around 1:15 for the lineup. There were around 7 A and M girls, none if which i would have wanted to fuck even if they were paying me, they were all very ordinary. And there was 1 X girl, she looked very cute, but also looked like she was really not interested so i was hesitant to pick her. Well i'm glad i did as it was one of the best times i've ever had. It was X75, she said she was 23 (which i wouldn't doubt) and she was from somewhere close to Beijing, she spoke very minimal english, but tried a little bit. She also said it was her second day there and she had only worked 1 other day in a KTV. This i also wouldn't doubt as she seemed very very new. She kind of reminded me of JAV girl Aino Kishi, but with bigger fake (but very well done, maybe c cup) boobs. Skinny but not as skinny, and very pretty face. She was very into DFK, DATY and was really into the sex in a kind of nervous new girlfriend kind of way. I have no idea if she's still there or if 2 more weeks of this work has changed her but from my experience i'd highly recommend her. Like i said she was probably the best GFE i've ever had, my only complaint is she spent too much time in the shower (my fault i could have hurried this along), and also i think the buzzer went off in about 45mins, meaning i only got one shot. Also the price was 1598 with the discount card. Its really hard to balance though whether an amazing 45mins with a super hot girl is worth 2 sessions at some other places. Tough decisions!!
yes, they check two times a month, so don't need worry about this problem.
Wish you have a good time
Are the girls here checked monthly (health checkup) too?
hi guys,
tian tian's we chat got problems, not blocked, but can't add people, so she applied a new one just now. plz check the contact area, thanks.
Have fun
Check the member area for tian tian's new wechat ID. The old account has been blocked, we already updated it , so the actual one will work ;-)
have fun
Had a great time at Kang ding with m98 tonight. Out of the four clubs I tried recently, it is the most conveniently located from my hote and the room is the largest and best equipped.
I called Tien Tien before arriving and she was waiting for me when I arrived. After a quick shoe change, I was off to the fish bowl where there were around 30 girls to choose from. M98 had the look I like and wasn't too skinny which I also like. In the room, I skipped the nuru bed routine and used the time instead to do it twice and chat with her in Chinese. Highlights include a great bbbj and cowgirl.
After I finished the second time we still had 30 minutes left so she told me about the short time shuang fei option they had for 200 rmb for 20 minutes. It was a great deal so she went and called her friend in, m85. I didn't know who she was going to choose but I was happy since m85 was my third choice. She has a fit body but only a+ tits. She is also 18 and really tight so I was able to come a third time, something that is normally beyond me.
All in all a great experience and I can't wait to repeat.
what you mean with "still legit"?Sauna like any kind of prostitution has never been a legit activity in the PRC ;-)
It's currently still a "generally tolerated" entertainment, but not legit!
is this still legit?
I guess it`s a missunderstanding. The rates listed above are up to date, but you also can book special "car models" by her wechat. And this are models who are not employed by the sauna and they can set up every price they want. And for an overnight with a B-Promi (like for example a TV host or a Soap Opera Actor you also can pay up to 40.000, I think this should be the meaning.
And yes, the prices here sometimes crazy! There are many very rich Chinese guys in Shanghai, and different to foreigners, Chinese guys sometimes will be happy to spend a fortune ;-)
The big culture different is, that a Chinese guy who spend 40k or more for that will be admired by everyone, just because he is so successful in his business, that he can effort that, while most foreigners would think, he is only stupid to spend so much just for beeing with a girl some hours.
But for the Sauna girls you can check the rates listed above.
Have fun,
the manager's wechat says prices are from 1000 to 40,000 rmb! are the prices here really THAT expensive? sounds crazy
Finally managed to visit Kang Ding some weeks ago. When entering they directly brought me to the locker room. No people, only me changing to the sauna uniform which have never happened before. Usually there is always some chinese guys looking at my 'little brother' :-). When finished they guided me to the selection are and called for the girls. Had decided to go for a X model what ever happened since it was the reason to try this club. Approximately 10 girls showed up, half with X tag. A lot of the girls was flirting with me but I had made my decision in 10 seconds. A tall girl with a white evening dress and beautiful big black eyes. A girl for Chinese taste, check! She took her bag and we passed through the secret door and started to walk to the room. I asked her if she was ok serving me, she smiled and said it was fine. Now I realized that they were very busy, almost all rooms had the don't disturb sign on the door handles. Finally we got to the room, large, clean and with good lighting (so a could see every cm of the girl). Large round bed with high quality sheets. Very large shower room. We took of our cloth and WOW! What a body she had. Slim, perky c-cup boobs, smooth skin, model face and unbelivable sexy eyes. I was erected before she even started cleaning me in the shower. If I should mention any negative thing, she had a lot of hair on her pussy and under her arms. Anyway, she smiled when she saw my little friend standing up and started to clean me. Then over to the wet bed for nuru. Not bad but have had better. Quick shower and to the bed. How do you start with such pretty girl? Hugging, touching kissing her body. Kissing on the mouth not allowed. Then she bend down to blow me. Was surprised since I didn't expect that for a model girl. I asked her to use a condom and then she thought I wanted to take her. Damn missed a model BJ, but better safe than sorry. We started in missionary, had to be very careful entering her little heaven. She moaned when I started to pounded her. If she faked she did it well. Changed position regulary so I could pull out and not come to fast since only one shot with her. With 10 min left I came hard inside her after holding back for a long time, very nice. During the whole time she was looking me in the eyes, holding my arms and hands like she wanted me to f-ck her more. We chatted for a short time, me still inside her. Then carefully pull out to keep all my cum in the condom. Shower together, get dressed and she took me back to the selection area. A guy guide me to the locker room and this time I was not alone. Dressed and guided to the counter to pay, 1580 RMB! Was it good? Sure, nice environment and friendly staff and girl. Is it worth it? Yes, was able to f-cking a girl that is totally out of my league. Will I RTF? No, I only wanted to try a model once. The normal 700 - 800 RMB girls in other saunas gives me the same pleasure, meaning I get to f-ck a pretty young chinese girl without any obligations. I even have more time and can some times manage a second shot.
every culture want to have, what they don`t have, so all chinese guys are crazy for "big eye girls", and if there is a need, there will be someone who took advantage from that. Nearly every smartphone with a photo function will also include the app to make the nose more slim, high and the eyes big. Some chinese phones even do that automatically in the basic phone app. Seems weird to westerners, but it`s part of the actual chinese culture, so you just have to accept it, but don`t expect to see a girl with such big eyes really in that sauna ;-)
Have fun,
They spend some effort to make the system less complicate, so now you only will find X00, M00 and A00 numbers there, only be carefull, if they have X000, because this girls are "out of the range" and
will charged higher (for example western girls, car models and so on), all other girls you can be sure the cost will be like listed above!
But I really can recommend our membership for that, because you will pay RMB 200 for your membership, but save RMB 200 already for each visit in this sauna! And if you pay your membership in cash when you come over, I can also bring you there directly and guide you around on your first visit, so an additonal "free of charge" service" ;-)
See you,
I went to this Sauna 2 weeks ago and I enjoyed the experience so much! The girl I picked was small and with a firm body. I recommend the help of Steven, without their tips and recommendations I would have been very difficult to have negotiated with the Sauna, even choosing the girl for her complicated pricing system, also he was very patient in explaining the details and what I could expect inside the room as the girls do not speak a word of English. 100% recommended
What's the story with the girls eyes being photoshopped on most pictures. Some if them are down right scary and unnatural looking. I mean, I am all about exotic but I don't want to fuck some damn
Does this sell in China?
like all sauna clubs, Kang Ding also offer the 3some option, but they don`t have any discount for the second girl. She will just be charged like a seperate booking. So for a model 3some, I would rather recommend the Ming Hui Sauna. They also have this "Model level", but in Ming Hui for the second one you at least get a discoung of 200 to 400 RMB (depends on the girls price level).
Have fun,

NEW YORK | Tough competition in the U.S. and the weakening economy abroad was a double whammy for McDonald's in the third-quarter, sending the burger chain's net income down nearly 4 percent.
NEW YORK | Tough competition in the U.S. and the weakening economy abroad was a double whammy for McDonald's in the third-quarter, sending the burger chain's net income down nearly 4 percent.
McDonald's said it was adjusting some of its plans to deal with the pressures, including stepping up advertising for its dollar menu and bringing back the popular McRib sandwich nationally in December to drive traffic into U.S. stores.
The world's largest hamburger chain with 33,000 locations worldwide has thrived in boom and bust times by selling cheap eats and constantly updating its menu. But global economic pressures and intensifying competition are wearing at the company, which does two-thirds of its business overseas.
"When economic crisis began in 2008, few people thought the environment would still be as uncertain and fragile as it is today," said CEO Don Thompson in a call with analysts. "It is clear however that this operating environment is the new normal. As such our near-term focus is on stabilizing and growing traffic and market share."
Thompson said revenue in stores open at least 13 months, a key restaurant metric, is trending negative so far in October.
That news sent shares down $3.31, or 3.6 percent, to $89.55 in trading. The stock had been down 7 percent since the beginning of the year.
"McDonald's is facing a lot of pressure," said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy. "They're seeing more competition from their quick-service restaurants and fast-casual peers in the U.S. and facing austerity measures and macro-economic pressures in Europe and Asia"
Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's said Friday its net income fell to $1.46 billion, or $1.43 per share. That compares with net income of $1.51 billion, or $1.45 per share last year. Analysts expected net income of $1.47 per share, according to Fact Set.
The stronger dollar hurt net income by 8 cents per share. When the dollar is strong, international sales translate into fewer dollars back at home.
Revenue was nearly flat at $7.15 billion from $7.17 billion last year. Analysts expected revenue of $7.17 billion.
Revenue in stores open at least 13 months rose 1.9 percent globally, including a 1.2 percent rise in the U.S., where the company said it faced "broad competitive activity."
McDonald's is facing stiffer competition from newer chains like Panera Bread Co., which offers higher-end food in a fast casual atmosphere. Long-time rivals such as Wendy's Inc. and Burger King Worldwide Inc. are also reworking their menus, renovating restaurants and launching new ad campaigns to win back customers.
McDonald's said it will step up advertising around its dollar menu rather than its more profitable extra value menu that includes items more expensive than $1. Fast-food chains usually lose money on dollar menus, but they're used as a traffic driver in the hopes customers will spend more once they're at McDonald's. It's also bringing back the always-popular McRib sandwich in December and introducing a new item, a cheddar bacon onion sandwich that will be available in both chicken and beef varieties.

David Futrelle has infamously defended the gay sex shop distribution of a paedophile made 'classic' child torture movie featuring real and naked 14 year old boys 'acting' in a film in which they are made to eat excrement, anally raped, tortured and murdered. No surpises there. After all, Futrelle is simply following in the footsteps of other notable male feminists such as Kyle Payne, jailed for sexually assaulting a sleeping schoolgirl who was in his care and then again for downloading kiddy porn, and Hugo Schwyzer, a sex predator who admits that he once tried to murder his girlfriend.
What is more disturbing, is that many MHRAs share Futrelle's sick views on videos of naked children being tortured being rented out in gay sex shops.
Over a 20 year period, Futrelle has steadfastly refused to apologise for his defence of Salo and continues to justify the film's sale in a gay porn store on the grounds that, obscenely, the sick movie can be viewed on Netflix and YouTube. This is a man who has gone on record to claim that a picture of a 17 year old girl in jeans is clearly 'child porn' in the context of a 'jailbait' subreddit or forum and that those who view such legal pictures are 'paedophiles'.
Of course, many so-called MHRAs share Futrelle's feminist views on the definition of child porn, as well as the feminist age of consent, or at least publicly claim to do so, whatever their disturbing motivations are. Laws which in the UK and elsewhere are currently leading to witch hunts against men, a spike in the male suicide rate, and the undermining of any semblance of justice. However, even more disturbingly, many of them appear to share Futrelle's views on the distribution in a gay sex shop of a movie that graphically depicts nothing else but the torture, rape, and murder of naked children. A movie directed by a man who turned to filmmaking after losing his job as a teacher due to molesting the children, and who was infamous for handpicking beautiful young 14 and 15 year old boys to star in his movies and immediately embarking upon sexual affairs with them.
Last night I had yet another MHRA leave a comment on this site denouncing us as 'pedobears' for admitting what every man knows – that teenage girls can be sexy – and for attacking the logic of the feminist age of consent laws that are leading to a clear sexual holocaust against men, things that any real supporter of men's rights should do. The same MHRA, like several others, made a point of defending SALO and, by implication, Futrelle's support for the movie's sale in a gay sex shop. Unfortunately, this MHRA was too cowardly to leave his regular handle, but several others have not been so shy and have openly supported a gay child torture porn movie both here and elsewhere in the MRM. I thought it would be useful to start compiling a list of MHRA child torture porn apologists here. This will be a sticky page, and I'll update it regularly as these staunch defenders of the rights of boys continue to support the idea of gay men fapping off to naked 14 year boys being anally raped and then made to eat their abuser's shit before being tortured slowly to death.
I must make it clear that not all MHRAs support Futrelle over the 'right' of gay men to rent videos of naked underage boys being raped and murdered in gay porn shops. In fact, a small minority have actually spoken out and attacked Futrelle over the matter. Janet Bloomfield (JudgyBitch) obviously stands out, to her eternal credit. And Paul Elam and Dean Esmay themselves, have also condemned Futrelle a couple of times, as they should (in fact, they should be a little louder).
Let's start with our old friend 'Kloo2Yoo'.
Kloo2Yoo (former moderator of r/mensrights). The clueless subhuman paedocrite Kloo2Yoo once reported a men's rights redditor to the FBI for uploading a famous photograph that has appeared on Hallmarks cards to the men's rights subreddit. Consisting of the image of a little girl lifting up her skirt to a bewitched little boy, with a caption that said something along the lines of 'with this I will have power over you always'. It was clearly a relevant men's rights image and any sane rational person without something disturbing to hide would see it as such. But not Kloo2Yoo, who immediately denounced it as child porn and claimed to have reported to the FBI the MRA who posted the link to the picture.
After the low IQ Kloo2Yoo finally realised he was out of his depth running the fast growing men's rights subreddit, and handed over moderation rights to slightly more competent paedocrites, he seemed to disappear for a number of years. I assumed that the obvious hardcore paedocrite had been locked up, but no, he turned up out of the blue just at the moment we had David Futrelle on the rack over his defence of SALO, and proceeded to leave a rant in the comments section here defending it as a 'classic' art film. This is a man who reported an MRA to the FBI for linking to a Hallmark image with obvious men's rights relevance. This is a man who banned anyone from the men's rights reddit for questioning feminist child porn laws that jail men for looking at pictures of 'young looking' fairies and elves. This is a man who supported Futrelle in claiming that legal images of fully clothed teens can constitute 'child porn' if they are viewed in a 'sexual context', and yet, like Futrelle, he sees no problem in the distribution of a movie in a gay sex shop featuring nothing but naked children being raped, tortured, made to eat human faeces, disembowelled, and murdered.
Perhaps 'pedobears' isn't quite the right word for these MHRA child torture porn apologist freaks. Perhaps not even 'paedocrites'. Maybe 'pedowolves', or 'pedopsychos', "pedosnakes', 'pedofreaks', or simply 'real sadistic paedophile sickos'?
Uchuu – 'Uchuu' is another sick MHRA freak who has taken issue with the esteemed JudgyBitch for daring to call out David Futrelle over his defence of gay paedophile torture porn.
Meh, after reading a summary and some background on the movie, the link rather reads like character assassination. Don't get me wrong, I so far have nothing good to say about Futrelle, but the movie apparently had just as many female victims as male ones (so, the focus on the "boys" of the article seems dishonest), it wasn't actually documented child abuse, but something fictional, and I've seen no real good argument connecting that one suicide to the filming of the movie. The contents are disgusting enough that I never want to see it, but supposedly it actually has some artistic qualities, so the free speech argument is not completely out of the blue.
Notice, in this one small paragraph, how 'Uchuu' resembles so many other child torture porn apologists, both MHRAs and Futrelle groupies. The idea that, because the movie contained naked 14 year old girls being slowly tortured to death, as well as boys, Futrelle's defence of its distribution in a gay sex shop is not a men's rights issue. His defence of the movie as 'artistic' (not sure how he feels about the fact that, technically, men in Europe could be jailed by feminists for simply reading Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita). Finally, note his love of manga, revealed by his username, no doubt of the hardcore violent rape variety that involves pre-pubescent girls.


text: Just got back from seeing the Moodies in Albuquerque. It was a very long 8 hour drive to get to the venue, but the long trip is always worth it. I did learn one thing about myself. I got very spoiled by being able to attend two of Justin 's solo shows in Atlanta (2013) and San Antonio (2014). It is just amazing to be able to hear all of my favorite songs by Justin in one concert. I was so disappointed in the set list in Albuquerque....no Never Comes the Day, The Day We Meet Again, Are You Sitting Comfortsbly, The Actor, or Driftwood.....that's just soo wrong! It was the first Moodies concert that I walked out of feeling just heartbroken. It just wasn't the same. :( I really did not take that many pictures. Hopefully, you will enjoy these few.

Traveled all over - India, Russia, New Zealand, Iceland and Turkey being some of my memorable locations.
I enjoy spirituality - Daoism/ Buddhism and Shinto tie it all together for me.
I keep my time full and I have a lot of interests ... economics, self-awareness, improving laws, and Chinese medicine as starters.
Spirituality and Fatherhood are good to work on.
I do tend to take conversational trips with my friends that can be uncomfortable ... Always with love in my heart, but I love walking into the unexplored. What do you think the biggest problems with government are? How would you handle ISIS? How do you feel about continuing to de-criminalize victimless crimes like prostitution and hard drugs? Have you see what they did in Portugal?
Spirituality (Eastern religion)
Empathy/ Compassion
A lot of people describe me as intense, but it must be a slow burn because I don't see it ...
Movies - **Princess Bride**, Quest for the Holy Grail, Aliens.
Shows - The Unit, The Good Wife, **The Wire**, Archer, The Daily Show
Music - Not a big music guy. I listen in the car and rock out to stuff with a beat, but music is mostly an excuse for me to move: Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Depeche Mode, Juno Reactor, Macklemore, will.i.am, Lady Gaga are some of what I listen to.
Beethoven's 9th and Dvorak New World are both incredible if I want to relaxed and inspired.
Books - I read like crazy. Guilty pleasures are sci-fi and pulpy spy novels. Otherwise it is stuff like economics, dzogchen, mahamudra, theories of identify in the context of litigation...
So to give some insight.
Computer (work), Sencha (tea), crock pot (meals), friends, internet (work), a nice comfortable bed.
Just being present. Being aware. Posture. Being relaxed. Being centered.
My experience is if you keep centered the rest of life takes care of itself (and no, it doesn't always go well, and being present is often the best response .... IMO.. and sometimes you end up with some good stories!)
50% - Hang with friends over good food or go out dancing ... occasionally take a long weekend somewhere fun.
According to the people on the ground it just sounded like I was screaming my head off in fear.
Also if you have some interests in travel, politics or alternative religion - makes for interesting conversation at the least.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth
August 5, 2011 by Post Team
Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus is definitely feeling her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth! Obviously, it is very easy on the eyes, the teen queen and totally knows it. In fact, she called him "sxy" in response to a fan!
"Obsessed with The Hunger Games," wrote the fan. Cyrus replied, "Gale is very sxy," and added a "wink" emoticon. Well, Liam Hemsworth landed the role of Gale in the upcoming movie, so obviously it was a nod to his good looks and her affection for him!
She has been very open about her enthusiasm for the Games hunger, and while she openly share their feelings and personal aspects of their romance, which alludes to her "love" for him.
When the movie comes out, Miley can be expected to fully support her boyfriend, and she cannot even attend the premiere with him! Although not really hide their relationship, she maintains that no doubt part of her private life, so her fans appreciated "call-out Liam", as evidenced by the 100 retweets received!

Warringah has six main catchments: Cowan, Middle Harbour, Narrabeen, Dee Why, Curl Curl and Manly. There are also a number of smaller catchments that drain directly to some of our beaches.
To manage and protect our catchments we undertake many activities including; water quality monitoring, creek rehabilitation, bush regeneration, animal corridor protection, stormwater management, and wetland rehabilitation.
What is a Catchment?
A catchment is an area of land, bound by hills or mountains from which all runoff water flows to the same low point, such as a lake, dam, river, estuary or lagoon where it enters the ocean. Rainwater will flow to this lowest point, via creeks, rivers and stormwater systems.
Our catchments are grouped based on current ecological values and catchment land uses:
Group A: very high ecological value
Group B: some degradation in the upper catchments, but high ecological value downstream
Group C: generally of low to moderate ecological value with moderate to highly developed catchments
As well as rainwater, groundwater, stormwater and wastewater flow to the lowest point in a catchment. Catchments are connected from top to bottom, so what happens upstream in a catchment influences conditions downstream.

My boyfriend, his father and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights January 19 - 21. I stayed at this hotel about 5 years ago with my family and loved it then and we had a really good experience this time as well. We found out that the hotel/resort was recently bought by another hotel chain and there were renovations going on while we were there but that didn't bother or hinder our experience.
We had a smooth check-in, we arrived earlier in the day then the allotted check in time and they found us a room right away. We were asked to attend a "breakfast" and they promised that it would be a low pressure (timeshare) presentation. We agreed to attend the "90 minute" presentation which turned into 2+ hours. They were true to their word that it wasn't really high pressure. When speaking with the concierge that offers this to you I recommend mentioning that you aren't interested in a high pressure sales pitch.
The service down by the pool was great! The waiters were attentive and friendly.
This hotel is an older hotel ("one of the first in Cabo" according to people there) so the T.V. was a regular one cased in a cabinet/dresser piece. The room we stayed in was clean and well maintained. I hope the new owners will put some time into updating their current rooms along with the new renovations they are doing.
The location of the hotel was right next to the marina and it was about a 20 minute walk, 5 minute cab or 20 minute water taxi ride over to the main beach. The beach at this hotel is on the Pacific side so no swimming was allowed in the ocean. The layout of the hotel is cool, they have a "whale watchers club" that is connected to the main hotel by a walk way and the sunset from up there was amazing!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Landmark Resort. Best location in town with Ocean and Bay views. Located in the "Heart and Soul of Cabo"!Live the legend of the new SANDOS Finisterra ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT unique architecture overlooking the Bay of San Lucas or enjoy the largest family rooms facing the Pacific sunsets in any of our Jr. Suites. All within a short walk to restaurants, night life, shops, fishing and water sports. Free WiFi in Lobby and Restaurants. Endless beach walks and amazing pools. Embrace the Cabo sun in any of our three amazing pools or have a snack at the largest and tallest Palapa in the Pacific. For the evenings enjoy a margarita at the historical Blue Marlin Bar where Keith Richards and Brooke Shields loved to relax. If you like tennis we have 2 courts for you free of charge. Ideal for Families or Couples that want the best value. The Jr. Suites Ocean View rooms have the largest capacity in Cabo sleeping 3 adults and 2 children with our 2 Queen and Sofa beds.

One of my classes in college was on the central forms and ideas that can be found in almost every form of mythology that has been created on Earth. Greek, Roman, Norse, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, etc. all share aspects of what one man, Joseph Campbell, called the "Monomyth;" The idea, in its simplest form, is that, through the concept of similarly shared human experience (perhaps even a shared unconsciousness), each culture develops myths that, when compared, have similar traits. The most recent form of this concept was illustrated in the Original Star Wars trilogy, with a modern telling of the so-called "Hero Journey" (the Hero with a Thousand Faces); the most common form of monomyth.
As I was watching Avatar, I began to wonder about the nature of their creation myth (since it seems to me that they would have one), and if there is any Earthly analogs. Well, I've read about the comparisons elsewhere, but I wanted to get the opinions here. The story itself resembles a very early Native American myth (namely of the Plains Indians of the American South West) upon which the trials of young hunters was based.
I figured, with all of us, we could flesh this thing out.

Most enterprise individuals impoverishment to see improvements in gross sales and income. But how do you get there? What choices do you have?
To assemble your concern at hand are cardinal strategic options that essential be considered:
1) Sell ongoing products to ongoing trade.
2) Develop new products to get rid of to present client groups.
3) Expand in existence products into new open market segments.
4) Develop new products for new market segments.
Each one of these choices carries next to it built-in risks and sure selling implications. Which one is permission for you? This is one of the maximum essential decisions to be made. In fact, the highest plan of action may mix up more than than one of these options to be appropriate to opposite products or dissimilar areas of the enterprise.
The slightest uncertain remedy is digit 1. Simply brainstorm more clientele for your surviving products. Sometimes this is easier said than done, particularly if you merely have a dominating bazaar quota or you inhabit a relatively littlest flea market station. Although for best businesses near is ordinarily compass to persuade much of the very type of clients.
The selection next to most chance is numeral 4, active into new markets beside a new trade goods. This classic 'diversification' remove may look to give excellent potential, but can be a recipe for end of the world if you do not have an tolerable recognition of open market requisites or the contending scenery.
It is problematical for a enterprise to put somewhere else into a new souk at the sunday-go-to-meeting of modern times. Establishing gross sales channels, generating demand, managing buyer expectations, and pre-empting competitors engagements can be a existent challenge, requiring a sizeable magnitude of reserves.
In each of the other two strategic options the business holds any an sensitive of the patrons (option 2) or the products (option 3), so the general risk is slightly diminished.
No event which way you establish to go there are merchandising decisions to be ready-made. Sales processes, products, competitive positioning, subject matter objects and joint venture photograph are a few of the holding that will inevitability to be reviewed.
Consideration essential be fixed to how you will govern the marketing-related striking of these changes to emanate the longest result?
* Adding worth for consumers (i.e. providing true benefits).
* Staff issues (training needs, work style, introduction).
* Business processes (meeting spreading demands, end user support, amount produced).
* Measuring results and reviewing advancement (sales, profits, awareness, referrals, quotes written, number of trade).
* Knowing which commerce endeavours to implement, and the second-best case to do it.
Marketing is a contributory mechanism of all company. In modern world of changeover and business organization biological process it is even more than all important to facial expression nearly at the 'how' and 'why' aspects of your commercialism accomplishments.

Sound Signature
Headphone Design
This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
This is the application that the headphones are designed for. Each application has unique features that make it perfect for particular uses.
DJ: These headphones are durable, loud, and will often allow for one ear listening.
Gaming Delivers explosive sound and allows you to communicate with others.
Home Hi-Fi: These audiophile headphones are engineered to produce high fidelity and accurate audio.
Home/Office: These headphones are designed to produce rich, brilliant sounds that the artists would appreciate.
Sports: Designed for active use. These headphones are made to stay in (or on) the ear during workouts.
Kids: Feature noise limiting technology so that your little ones don't damage their ears listening to music too loud.
On-the-Go: On-the-go headphones are lightweight and often fold up for easy storage and portability.
Student: Compact and rugged enough to survive life in a backpack; inexpensive enough to not hurt the wallet of a student.
Studio: Reproduce music perfectly without any coloration. Look here for reference quality studio monitoring headphones.
Traveler/Airplane: These headphones are compact, lightweight, and have a portable design.
The basic design of the headphones. There are 3 different types:
Open: Have ports that allow air through the back of the diaphragms, enabling the headphones to sound like the music is coming from an outside source.
Closed: Completely sealed and have no air passing through the diaphragms. Sounds like you are in a closed off room.
Semi-open: Have slots or ports in the back of the cup and are partially open. This allows for a mixed sound between an open and closed headphone.
General Features
Corded means that the headphones use a cord to transfer the audio signal.
Bluetooth means that the audio signal is transmitted from your device to the headphones via a Bluetooth connection.
Corded or Bluetooth means that the headphones can be used as corded headphones or as Bluetooth headphones. They have an input in one or both earcups for use as a corded headphone while they also have a built-in battery for use as Bluetooth wireless headphones.
Wireless means that the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the headphones.
The Jack Angle refers to the angle of the input jack on the headphone cable.
Straight Jack: Straight plug with no angle.
Angled Jack: Angled plug, usually a 90 degree angle.
Swivel Jack: A swivel jack is able to swivel between a straight plug and an angled plug.
Gaming Headphones
Home Wireless Headphones
Audio Features
The physical design of the driver in the headphones.
Balanced Armature:
A balanced armature driver uses a coil wrapped around an armature which is held in between two magnets until it is stimulated by an electrical current. When stimulated, this armature is magnetized which causes it to rotate one way or the other around a pivot point which moves the diaphragm to create sound. Balanced armature driver headphones are generally earbuds and can have multiple drivers in each earbud.
Dynamic drivers are the most common driver type. They feature a permanent magnet, usually neodymium, a voice coil and a conical diaphragm to drive your music. A dynamic headphone driver looks pretty much identical to any typical home theater speaker.
Electrostatic drivers are made up of an extremely thin membrane, usually a coated PET film, stretched between two metal plates. An electrical signal is applied to the metal plates to create an electrical field which, depending on its polarity, draws the speaker diaphragm toward one of the plates which forces air through the perforations in the diaphragm which generates the sound wave.
Planar Magnetic:
A planar magnetic driver is made up of a large membrane suspended between two sets of oppositely aligned magnets. An electric charge is applied to the membrane to induce movement and produce sound waves.
