we've been dating for like 1 year, he's very obviously overweight but with a cute face and personality. His only interest is playing computer games. He literally could sit there play computer games from morning to evening. He got grumpy about trivia issues easily and always got upset with me. For example, if I couldn't decide what to cook for dinner, he got angry with me. I have a very good temper so every time I'll put up with him because I love him. But since we lived together we have arguments regularly, like he cares about his social circles more than me, his friend's words are more important than mine. When he got sick, I took care of him all night; when I got sick, he thinks I'm too noisy coz I keep coughing in public and he got embarrassed... Especially when I talk about my dream of having a family, he always avoid talking. But he does say he loves me and cares about me deeply. I'm so confused now... Because tonight he said: he's tired of me...
Most Helpful Guy
Ok you srsly need to take the leash and show him that he is a dicktard, call him an egoist and tell him these reasons. You don't wanna be his 'doormat', I guess.
You even say he is a grumpy fat bla bla so it seems you have pity for him (I sometimes got that disease aswell), you won't be happy if you don't find what makes you happy too?00|00|0
Yea the reason I specially addressed he's weight is because I tried to convince him to work out, lose weight and be fit for the sake of his own benefits and health, but he got so furious and asked me to get fuck out of the house...
Most Helpful Girl
My honest opinion? If my boyfriend was like that, you wouldn't see me for dust. I'd be off to find a new guy well before it got like this. I set my ground rules early in the relationship, bit by bit. Any departure from those is by negotiation between the two of us.
Luckily, I have picked on a terrific guy right from the start. Our relationship just flows. This is how it should be for you. I think computer games being more important that you shows him to be immature and that he's just using you as a convenience. Do you really love him for using you? I think you are finding him a convenience, too! Get up, get out and find a guy who will show you some real love. A guy who will be your soul-mate, not just an accessory to a computer game.
You deserve better than this!11|00|0

The story of the development of high–voltage nuclear transmutation equipment in the Cavendish Laboratory and its use in l932 in J.D. Cockcroft and E.T.S. Walton's disintegration of lithium by protons has been told many times.1 The pparatus, shown schematically in figure 1, was based on a transformer–rectifier–condenser multiplying circuit generating a steady potential of up to about 600 kV. Its success in the transmutation experiments was due largely to the penetration of the Coulomb barrier of the light target nuclei by the incident protons in accordance with the calculations of Gamow.2 Extension of the disintegration work to heavier nuclei using a Cockcroft–Walton generator required higher voltages and by 1934, when many results had been or were about to be published, there was every enthusiasm for continuing high–voltage development. The steps that were taken in this direction in the Cavendish from 1935 until the beginning of the war in 1939 have not been so fully described, although the main events have been recorded.3 The present article attempts to trace the expansion of the high–voltage laboratory over that four–year period, during which the author worked in the laboratory under M.L.E. Oliphant4 and P.I. Dee.5 It is a shortened version of a longer account which has been placed in the Churchill Archives Centre6 together with a number of relevant documents held since 1939 by the author. In writing, use has been made of the author's personal notebooks and diary kept during the period covered.

At the forthcoming ACMA Composites 2011 show in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., USA, Feb. 2-4, Lucintel (Los Colinas, Texas, USA) reports it has been invited to give two conference presentations. Vice president of consulting for Lucintel, Norman Timmins, will speak about and share insights on "Trends and Opportunities for Composites in key Global Markets" as well as a second presentation on "Green Energy: Growth Potential beyond Wind." Both conference presentations are taking place on Feb. 3.
According to Lucintel, the global composites marketplace, after a challenging 2009, rebounded in several segments and multiple geographies with a year-over-year (YOY) growth rate of 10.3 percent, with the Global composite materials market reaching $17.9 billion in 2010. Major industries and fundamental demand rebounded in 2010, combined with the added productivity and profits resulting from increased efficiencies driven by 2009 efforts in restructuring and cost reductions. Overall in 2010 the North American composites industry rebounded strongly with YOY growth of ~13 percent, followed by Asia at ~9 percent and Europe at ~8 percent. The end product market made with composites reached $50.7 billion in 2010. Overall, says Lucintel, the composites industry remains innovative, with more than 50 new material and 100 new application launches every year driven by more than 500 material supplies and +5,000 molders/fabricators across the globe.
Green energy is one of the major segments of the global composites industry and will represent the focus of Lucintel's second ACMA presentation. Composites demand in green energy has been driven fundamentally by the growth in renewable energy sources led by wind. The Global wind market in 2010 was $62.6 billion (2010), with a 29 percent CAGR last 5 years, while solar PV is rapidly growing with a 54 percent CAGR and is soon challenging the wind market in terms of overall size in value. Total cumulative capacity installations of renewable energy grew by 19 percent during 2005-10 (excluding hydro and nuclear) and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 18 percent in the next five years.
According to Lucintel, some of the factors that have the ability to drive composites market growth above current projections are: greater acceptance of composites as a replacement for traditional materials, low life cycle cost, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, and greater use of composites in anti-corrosive materials.

This is a really great simple dish! I did this for toddlerr DD so added some frozen mixed vegies in with the pasta and served it to her for dinner. Little Miss "Smartypants" picked up that there was vegemite in it but said, this is delicious mum! The leftovers I used in a salad with some sliced spring onions, chopped tomatoes & shredded chicken & it was great both ways. Thanks for a lovely & quick dinner that I can make fuss-pot DD when I'm in a hurry.

New Delhi: If Subhash Chand Tomar's motorcycle had not been repaired Sunday morning, it is possible the Delhi Police constable may be alive today.
Aditya Tomar alias Sonu, the 18-year-old younger son of the now dead constable, says that his father's motorcycle suffered a flat tyre Sunday when he was about to leave for work.
Speaking to IANS after his father's cremation Tuesday, Aditya told IANS: "I got the puncture set right. But as he prepared to leave again, the motorcycle got stalled for a second time. I had it repaired once again."
After that, the 47-year-old father of three left their home in Meet Nagar in east Delhi for Karawal Nagar police station where he was posted only two months ago.
"Looking back, I realise that the problems with the motorcycle was some kind of an ominous sign," Aditya said.
"If only the motorcycle had not been repaired and my father had not gone to work, he may be alive today."
On Sunday afternoon, Tomar was brutally attacked on a road leading to India Gate as street protests against the gang-rape of a young woman now in critical condition turned violent.
Tomar was reportedly punched and kicked as he fell on the street bleeding. He lost consciousness and was rushed him to a hospital where he died early Tuesday.
The policeman was cremated with state honours.
N.P. Rana, a school teacher neighbour of the Tomar family, said the dead man was committed to Delhi Police, which he joined in 1987, and would not take leave even on religious holidays.
"We never saw him rest at home," Rana told IANS at the Nigambodh cremation ground. "I think this is what caused his death. Whenever he was called for work, he would never say no."
Tomar had brush with death in '89
Subhash Chand Tomar had his first brush with death 23 years ago when he was seriously injured in a bomb blast in a DTC bus in 1989 at Mall Road here.
The fourth son of his parents, Tomar - who was from village Barauli in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat - overcame the trauma very soon.
His 22-year-old son Deepak told IANS: "Just two years after he joined Delhi Police in 1987, my father was seriously injured in the Mall Road DTC bus blast incident. He was severely injured."
The 47-year-old constable died early Tuesday due to respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
He was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital by his colleagues, but was declared dead Tuesday around 6.40 a.m.
"He was my guide. His sincerity to his job used to inspire me to join Delhi Police. I have been preparing for Delhi Police's entrance exams" said Deepak, who is also in his second year B.B.A. course from ITS institute in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

Blockchain is at a crossroads. On one hand, the technology, which promises to revolutionize record-keeping in businesses like banking and farming, is more open than ever with firms including Chain and R3 saying they would make their blockchain software code open to the public.
But there is another force at work that could close off access to the technology. That force comes in the form of patents as big banks and others file applications that seek 20-year monopolies over various aspects of blockchain.
The most prominent example is an application in which Goldman Sachs seeks a patent for "processing financial transactions using a ... distributed ledger ... [to] store a portion of the ledger corresponding to a respective asset" — in other words, using blockchain tools to settle transactions.
The Goldman application caused a minor media stir but the investment bank is hardly the only one seeking blockchain patents. Bank of America (bac), Accenture (acn), and Morgan Stanley (ms) are among the other big corporate names that appear on hundreds of blockchain-related patent applications filed in the last few years. Meanwhile, a controversial figure named Craig Wright who claims to have invented bitcoin (the claim is widely doubted) has filed dozens of patents in an apparent attempt to exert control over blockchain.
So far, the U.S. Patent Office has yet to actually grant any of these patents. But if it does, the patent owners could be in position to seek millions of dollars in damages from other blockchain users that do not agree to license their technology, or even shut them down with an injunction. Worse, the owner could employ a "patent trolling" model—simply sitting on the patents and using shell companies to file lawsuits against anyone using blockchain.
According to Don Tapscott, a co-author of a popular book, Blockchain Revolution, a surge of patent litigation could be devastating to the technology's development.
"This sort of behavior is antithetical to innovation, collaboration and the openness that's at the heart of the new digital age," said Tapscott. "I find it unfortunate when incumbents threatened by new paradigms revert to behavior that's not even in their own interest."
But in the case of banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, whose patent filings reportedly caused tension with the blockchain consortium R3 (the banks left R3 last week), it may be premature to assume they will act aggressively.
A source close to Goldman said the bank's patent applications are primarily a defensive measure to ensure a tech firm or another company "doesn't monetize it away." The source, who would speak only on the condition of anonymity, added that the bank could also donate patents it obtains to a consortium that seeks to promote blockchain adoption in the financial sector.
Meanwhile, others argue that patents will be an inevitable part of the blockchain landscape and that this is not a bad thing. Justin Hill, a patent attorney at the law firm Olswang, recently wrote that the emergence of clusters of blockchain patents could be similar to what occurred in the telecom industry, where companies pay intellectual property holders to access standard technology.
Would a blockchain patent be valid?
It's still not clear, however, if patents are the best approach for encouraging blockchain technology, or if such patents should even be valid under American law.
Daniel Nazer, a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Fortune that applications to patent the blockchain — which is a form of software — face a high hurdle due to a Supreme Court case called Alice. That decision ruled that most, or perhaps all, software patents are abstract ideas that are ineligible for patent protection.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune's technology newsletter.
He added that many such patent applications would also have to overcome objections that the "invention" they claim is obvious. This is especially the case, said Nazer, because the applications are not for foundational concepts like bitcoin or the blockchain itself—concepts that could not be patented today since bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, disclosed them to the public years ago.
But Nazer remains concerned the Patent Office will fail to apply the proper quality controls, and will issue weak blockchain patents all the same.
"I'm concerned the system will fail and there will be lots of abstract and mundane patents for 'use of the blockchain for X,' and then everyone will have to negotiate legal minefields and innovation will slow," he said.
For now, though, the prospect of patent pitfalls is not slowing companies like Chain, which develops blockchain protocols for the likes of Visa and Capital One, and in October released an open source version of its Chain Core software.
"Patents? We feel strongly this should be done in a way that is open source and that patents are used only defensively," Chain CEO, Adam Ludwin, told Fortune recently. "Will there be lawsuits in the future? Yeah, probably."

7) Ixtapa
Ixtapa is located on the Pacific Coast of western Mexico, south of Puerto Vallarta on the Mexican Riviera. It is a lovely beach destination with its hotels located on a short stretch of beach, leaving most of Ixtapa relatively untouched and free from development.
Apart from the water sports, winter holds the added attraction of whale-watching during their migration and an annual offshore tournament held at the Port of Zhihuatanejo, while the village of the same name has a traditional and authentic Mexican setting. Isla Ixtapa is a wildlife preserve with popular trails, the Marina Ixtapa has a conglomeration of islands, canals, villas and restaurants, while the Magic World Aquatic Park has all the attractions of a water park with the added excitement of a huge pirate ship with water slides.
8) Mexico City
This is Mexico's capital and it rests on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, the old Aztec capital. It has a unique blend of the modern with its business and urban culture, and the traditional with its heritage and Aztec roots. While it has some of the pitfalls of a typical city, its architecture (basilicas, mansions and historical landmarks) and ruins are worth a look. October is a good time to visit, when the rains have left everything verdant and the Day of the Dead is a big draw. The other places worth seeing are the massive pyramids of Teotituacán, the floating gardens of Xochimilco and the colonial town atmosphere of Coyoacán, the ancient city of Tula, the Cathedral on the Zocalo (the main square) as well as the Templo Mayor and the National Palace and the cities of Puebla, with its pottery and beautiful churches, and Cholula, with the largest pyramid in the world, the latter two warranting a whole day's excursion.
9) Guadalajara
Guadalajara is in the Western Pacific region, roughly northwest of Mexico City. It is associated with very strong Mexican traditions and culture and is popularly called 'La Perla del Occidente' or 'Pearl of the West'. The second most populous city in Mexico, its natives are known as 'tapatíos'. It is credited with the origins of tequila, mariachi music, sombreros and the famous Mexican Hat Dance. Tourists favor it over Mexico City because it is cleaner and safer. Toss back a tequila with your better half, at the town of the same name – an experience to savor for a lifetime! Apart from those listed above, there are other destinations like Isla Mujeres, Merida, Playa del Carmen, Contoy, Loreto, La Paz, Laguna La Maria, San Cristobal and Oaxaca which are also popular with tourists and honeymooners alike. Mexico is indeed a beautiful destination for honeymooners.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/9/2011 (2168 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This election just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
I got a call today from Ludolf Grolle, who's running for the Liberals in St. Paul against Tory incumbent Ron Schuler and the NDP's Cynthia Ryan.
Grolle wanted to talk off the record about something, and I agreed to go off the record for that one item.
Then the conversation continued.
Grolle told me that we're both from England and that he very much likes my writing. OK, so I got off the boat in 1952 and Grolle got his Canadian citizenship this past January. I'm happy he likes my writing, and I won't disagree with his opinion.
Grolle told me he's a professional artist and is putting together a book of his works, and needs someone to do some writing for the book, and with my being such a good writer and all, and he's certainly willing to pay...
When I lifted my jaw off the floor, I pointed out that it would be completely inappropriate for me to accept money and a freelance assignment from a provincial candidate.
Oh no, no, no, came the response, this offer has nothing to do with his candidacy, it's in his full-time role as a professional artist.
And I had the hardest time getting through to him how inappropriate that would be. He said he'd call me after the election, and it will still be inappropriate then.
Oh, by the way, Ludolf, a little free political advice, your NDP opponent, Cynthia Ryan, you might want to start referring to her as a woman rather than as a girl.

After the Bill Against Cow Slaughter, Now Go-Seva Ayog
|From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network
Bangalore, July 6: Undeterred by the failure to get Presidential assent for its Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, 2010, the BJP Government in the State has now decided to constitute Go-Seva Ayog (Cattle Conservation Commission) to protect and promote cattle wealth in the State.
Addressing the media after the State Cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Visveswara Hegde Kageri said the Government has decided to constitute Go-Seva Ayog to take care of cattle, protect and promote various breeds of cattle.
Both Houses of the State Legislature have already passed the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, 2010, which is still awaiting the President's assent.
The President's office has sent back the Bill to the State Government asking for small changes in the Bill.
After making the changes in accordance with the observations by the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, the Bill has been submitted to the President's assent again, he said. The State Cabinet, he said, has decided to implement the proposed Yettinahole water project to supply drinking water to Kolar and Chikballapur, Tumkur and Ramangaram districts.
The total estimated cost of the project is a whopping Rs 8,323 crore. In the first phase, the Cabinet decided to release Rs 3,269 crore.
The project aimed to supply water from Yettinahole, a tributary of the Dakshina Kannada district's Netravathy river, to drought prone districts. The Yettinahole tributary originates in Sakleshpur taluk in Hassan district.
The State Cabinet has given administrative approval for establishing Ekalavya Residential School at a village in Koratagere of Tumkur district at a cost of Rs 9.96 crore; Rs 21.9 crore for drainage works in Tumkur City; and Rs 17 crore for Chikka Devaraja canal works at Srirangapatna in Mandya.
The Minister said the State Cabinet has decided to ask the Karnataka Backward Class Commission conduct a survey to identify communities in Scheduled Caste, Schedule Tribe and other backward classes who have been denied benefits of reservation in elections to taluk and zilla panchayats.
This is being done as only a few communities in these categories been receciving benefits of the quota system in TPs and ZPs.
BANGALORE, July 7, 2012
Panel soon to protect cattle wealth
The State Cabinet on Friday decided to constitute Go Seva Ayoga (Cattle Conservation Commission) to protect and promote cattle wealth in the State.
Addressing presspersons after the Cabinet meeting, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri said the government had decided to constitute the commission to take care of cattle, and protect and promote various breeds of cattle.
Both Houses of the State Legislature have passed the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, 2010 and the President's office had sent back the Bill suggesting some changes. After making the changes, the Bill had been submitted for the President's assent again, he said.
The government was committed to banning slaughter of cows. Several States had already enacted laws to ban cow slaughter, he said.

Going back to the beach scene in the opening of The Incident, maybe Jacob keeps bringing people until he finds one that can unite everybody on the Island and bring about peace, and the MiB doesn't think it's possible.
The list of candidates on the cave wall has an enormous amount of names, and likely all have been to the Island, and only few have survived long enough to leave, meaning Jacob has brought hundreds of people to die stranded on the Island. Maybe MiB wants Jacob to stop bringing people because deep down he actually cares for humanity, while Jacob does not, so MiB is willing to kill a few for the greater good, so that he can stop Jacob from causing lots of more deaths. MiB eventually realized that while Jacob was still alive, more and more people would be brought to the Island, so he sacrificed one life to save hundreds more.
Thusly, MiB would be the "good guy", while Jacob would not.
It would make for a very interesting twist at the least. What does everyone think?

Welcome to Colchester Ramblers
We have an active walks programme throughout the year with walks on both Wednesdays and Sundays. During the summer we also have Friday evening walks to gently ease you into the weekend.
Walks are of various lengths and duration, being a good mix of circular and figure of eights. If you've not walked before contact one of the committee to get advice on which walks are best to start out on.
Come on a Walk
If you are not yet a member of the Ramblers' Association then you can still join us on one of our walks. We advise you to come along for upto 3 walks on a try-out basis before joining the Ramblers' Association. As part of the joining process you will be allocated to your local group.
If you live outside the area and wish to receive our printed walks programme please contact our membership secretary
Rambler of the Year 2016
John Watts was awarded the Jessie Keeble trophy at the recent Group's AGM. John has been on the groups committee for a considerable number of years, taking on a number of roles, including group Chair. Here is John with current Vice Chair John Allcock.
Network Rail Update
As you know NR are proposing to close some 130 foot crossings across Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk, 62 of which are in Essex and of those 8 are in the Colchester Ramblers catchment area. There are more that we regularly walk across, but fall to other Rambler Groups.
Several members of Colchester Ramblers have attended the various NR "consultation" meetings that took place in June and September 2016, in October 2016, both Mags Hobby the Footpath Officer has also sent in detailed comments to NR on the proposed closures and John Allcock, as Chairman, wrote directly to Mr Carne, CE of NR raising a number of more "strategic" points.
NR have responded to John's letter and in summary, NR have said:-
"The project has multiple benefits including safety, operational efficiency, reliability and paving the way for future improvements such as faster, more frequent trains. We will not be building footbridges or underpasses .... and the (closure) scheme is cost effective for the taxpayer"
"The proposals will be assessed by an independent inspector who has the power to trigger a public inquiry. NR will be required to demonstrate it has taken on board the feedback received and have, where possible, looked at solutions to overcome the issues identified"
"During the two rounds of consultation we have continued to refine our proposals and have .... made significant changes to many of the proposals presented to us.....We have also removed a number of crossings ..... as we were unable to find a suitable alternative crossing point or diversionary route without significant loss of amenity"
(To address the point about the potential danger of cattle on the proposed diversions), NR said "I have asked the project team to pick up this point"
"There will be no compensation arrangements in place (with regard to us having to use a new diversionary route down a narrow, country road) .... "we are carrying out road safety audits at every diversion we propose an interface with the road. If necessary, we will put in place mitigations such as traffic islands and other traffic calming measures. We are working closely with the highway authority in each case."
MEMBERS of PARLIAMENT
Priti Patel is aware of the response from NR. Bernard Jenkin has, independently, met Mr Carne, the latter making it clear that "NR intend on going ahead with the closures as a matter of safety". Bernard's office is exploring two options – first is regarding suitable alternatives to the closures which Bernard intends on raising with the Rail Minister and second, involves the local County Council who are also considering this. Will Quince is aware of our concern but we have not received anything substantial from him.
We have kept Alan Goffee, the Area Chair informed and in turn, he has passed the many emails on to Central Office.
There is a Petition that members should sign which can be found at http://e-activist.com/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=117&ea.campaign.id=61089 If there are 10,000 signatures, the matter has to be debated in Parliament. Although this won't be on the Floor of the House, nevertheless, it will put further pressure on NR.
We are aware of a forthcoming meeting between NR and the Highways department of NR with the former being very sceptical about the reasons being given about the closure programme. eg the "safety" argument on the Marks Tey to Sudbury branch line does not stack up.
A good deal of activity has already happened but it is vital to keep the pressure on so write to your MP, fill out the Petition, contact the local press, tell your non-rambler friends, particularly dog walkers who use the crossings about what is being proposed, speak to your local Essex County Councillors – above all, don't stop making our case.

I don't know... Looking at the camera type self portraits just don't really do it for me.
How about one that looks like it was captured the moment you are lost in thought or doing something , those feel more natural and artistic i think.
But out of the 4 , i say 2.11|00|0
Yeah! I do agree with you! Under a non-conditioned environment and setting would probably aid with the composition of a photograph. Thanks!

For just starting out, you have a good base of work. I'd try and get more full body shots in, the one you have is great, just more for variety. Also, you have a nice expression, but a little neutral, so maybe work with that? But by and large I'd say just shoot more and build on what you have. You shouldn't have trouble finding people to work with you...

Your images all have basically the same expression. Modeling is acting with no lines to memorize. You have to covey an emotion (whatever it is...) using your facial expression and body language. Pick some common emotions, and practice conveying them using just expression and body language. It should be subtle though, you don't want to go overboard. Master conveying a few emotions and you'll get more work.
Just my opinion.

Thank you to you both! I will work on that!

Your face is beautiful, so focus on your angles and figure out your best ones, etc.
All your photos you seem to be looking over your shoulder. I would suggest to branch off from that a bit.

Try playing with certain facial expressions. I know for myself, it's difficult for me to find the right "omph" to look angry, but other feelings I seem to be ok with. Try shooting in a genre you wouldn't normally find yourself in, see if you like it (horror, punk, rock star, fantasy, etc...). You have really nice legs, try getting more photos in that show them off :3

You have indicated you want to be more professional.
So, my first suggestion in accomplishing that is dropping the childish dependency on an escort. Professionals don't do that.

Usually I try to write a little more in this space, but with all of the sickness around here (we are all better now!) and with several days with the kids off school... I haven't had the energy to post anything other then this party. At the beginning of the year, I mentioned that I would no longer be posting our weekly meal plans... but, I would like to post a few recap pictures from our week! So, let's start.
(Left) Last weekend we got a sprinkling of snow (and much more later!) and Autumn wore this adorable houndstooth coat that a blogging friend of mine (that no longer blogs or IG's- boohoo!) sent her last year. It FINALLY fits!
(Right) Autumn had a Minion movie night with Daisy Scouts last Sunday! She had a blast!
(Left) Nathan sparring in karate (he is the orange belt). He just LOVES that he gets to wear armor... and, mom just wants to bite her nails over it! lol!
(Right) Brian got a 3D printer kit for his birthday and built the entire printer all by himself. He made this Death Star with it for Nathan's pinewood derby car. He also made Autumn some cute little dogs that I MUST share photos of soon! They are SO cute and I may steal one for my wine cart! lol! (They might just have a wine cork in-between the face of the dog and its behind! lol! Ok, sounds weird... and, maybe I shouldn't let Autumn play with wine cork dogs... but, they are super cute!)
(Left) Nathan got to go on his first ever cabin camping trip this weekend. After seeing photos of the cabin, I was so, SO glad I didn't go.
(Right) Autumn and I hung out all weekend by ourselves without any boys in the house. Autumn even slept in my room (Mommy sleepover!) and also
And, the last recap picture is of this adorable angel feather card that Leslie from Once Upon a Time sent me! What a SWEETHEART! Not only is the card gorgeous and HAND made, but she wrote the most touching note inside it. I really can't believe blogging has brought me so many great friends, some of which I hope to meet in real life eventually! THANK YOU, Leslie for adding some sunshine to my day!

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by dboy214, Jan 24, 2012.
they were also fine w/ the 2ndary as it was and said Alan Ball was a good player, so...
To think you guys belive Jones and that you will see the exact team next year is pretty funny.
Go ahead and blow yourselves up about his interviews. You need something to wring your hands over and be right about I suppose.
We need more I told you so's here. I think we are missing a few thousand.
"Gosh darnit Martha that crazy Jones is at it again. Just look what he said about that front DLINE. I am going to go post my frustration @ CBZ gosh darnit it all to hades."
All I gotta say is...
Get in line..... :laugh2:
Nobody would complain if half these guys didnt come back, and this is a strength? At least half these guys are JAGs.:laugh2:
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Spencer will look a lot better if Dallas can add that pressure player at DE to go along with Rat. Collapse the pocket and Spencer's outside rush is more effective.
Of course, wanting Spencer and paying him what he may command on the open market are two different animals.
ufcrules is actually amusing. He's rallying support against 'homers' and building a little coalition to take them on. As long as he keeps it from getting personal, he's ok. It's fun to see young fans making friends online.
I'm curious to see if any of the haters over the age of 21 eventually side with him. So far, not so much.
I'm curious as to why you feel this way?
Spencer received one-on-one blocking alrerady and couldn't beat it with any measure of consistancy.
Do you think he would get zero blocking if we improved at DE?
I think we can improve at DE and that player can beat one-on-one blocking, but I don't see why that means we should pay for an average player in Spencer as a result.
Honestly, what I'd love to see is us sign Casey Hampton if/when the Steelers cut him loose. He's an older player but I think he's got a few good years left, especially in a rotation.
We can then move Ratliff to defensive end, where I feel he'll be more effective at this point in his career.
As for Spencer? I don't see the diollars matching what he does and does not contribute. I'd prefer to pay a player like Ahmad Brooks instead.
So homers would be?? Sorry...I am lost as who our blind homers are. I do know our users who support the club and many of its players, but I do not know any BLIND homers.
Age isn't an excuse to go off on a tangent and alienate oneself from the community.
A line in the sand per se? Interesting....
They won't last long here...but it will be funny to see.
Defensive front seven is a strength when compared to areas like the secondary or the O-Line. Onlu half of them are JAGS.
It just might. All he does is talk about the optimists in here and ridicule.
I think when people say 'blind homers' they're referring to Crazy Cowboy.
Then I shudder to think what he feels is a "weakness."
Jerry's not giving a smoke screen. The idea that he would, and could, manipulate people so early in the draft process is completely ridiculous.
What he says is what he believes. This is twice now we've heard the sentiment, from the top 2 ppl in the organization.Throw in Jerry's props to Costa and it feels just like last offseason and the one before that, where the season ends and organization suddenly feels that time is all that's needed to heal obvious wounds (such as C, DE, DT, OG) and draft picks and free agents are not needed to bolster the teams worst units. That the only problem was injuries, or poor coaching, or not enough of an offseason. A scary thought, for sure. But I'd bet we're looking at getting a flashy player who plays a noticeable position (such as CB or OLB) before drafting another boring lineman in round 1.
Most teams build from the inside out. Start with the line. We're the opposite. That's why our pass rush has been complete garbage for the longest time (we never invest in the guys up front) and that's why our pass protection has been garbage for the longest time.
No ... jerry actually believes it.
Raiders 2 ... Electric boogaloo
Maybe Jerry and Stepen are right. Maybe they are echoing the sentiments of our coaches.
This defense finished 16th in points allowed(21.6), 23rd in passing yards allowed(244.1), 17th in intereptions with (15), 7th in rushing yards allowed(99.1) and 7th in sacks with(42).
Would it not stand to reason that since we ranked in the top quartile in stopping the run and rushing the passer, that the front 7 was not the problem?
Now when you factor in that we almost finished in the bottom quartile in passing yards allowed and middle of the pack in ints, that our secondary was?
I'm not saying our front seven is with out concern. Our starting ROLB is not under contract. James and Brookings don't look to be in the teams future plans, so we have a 2nd yr player with little playing experience, perhaps slated to start at one ILB spot.
I like Ratliff and believe Brent and Lissemore show promise, but Spears is in simply an average player and Coleman not so much so. Hatcher is a tough call. Worth keeping because he's under contract at a reasonable number.
But I believe that's one of the keys here. Who's is and isn't under contract and where did the poorest play come from. Where are the true weak spots.
Because it's all about prioritization of availible resources. CB and FS probably need to take prescedent over any front seven concern.
if you are falling from a 20 story building and by the time you are at the 10th floor you still think that
you will not hit the pavement
and everyone who told you not to jump off the building or you will hit the pavement is wrong
that is not optimistic
it is something else entirely
You make too much sense.
I think we all agree that we would like more consistent pressure from our front 7, but our more significant weakness is our Secondary relatively speaking.
Given we have finite resources, and Newman is a goner, that has to be a priority - along with figuring out what to do with Spencer.
It's so interesting that you used those exact words. I feel that way as does every fan in almost every game or part of any season. I've had debates with fans here who wanted more consistent pressure in years we were leading or close to leading the league in sacks.:laugh2: It's never enough!
I'd bet dollars to donuts that most every idiot in this thread bashing the FO over it's comments on the front seven have NO IDEA WHAT THE ACTUAL STATISTICS ARE.
Can someone - anyone - in Mobile please throw a ball as hard as they can at Jerry's head? Please?
If I see one more thread that starts with the words "Jerry says," I will not be responsible for my actions.

Armattan Quadrocopters
Armattan Quadrocopters is a manufacturer of custom-built quadcopters.
The Taiwan-based company is operated by Chris Leroux, a Canadian living in Taiwan who began the company soon after he began building custom quads for users at RCGroups.com. Leroux continues to manufacture built-to-order quads and kits at a rate of approximately one per day.
Armattan quads are built from laser-cut and CNC-milled aluminum and carbon fiber. The control boards are the popular and effective "KK" series from HobbyKing; ESCs are now manufactured to Armatttan's specifications. They come flashed with the equally popular "SimonK" open source firmware designed specifically for multirotor use. Batteries are also sold under the Armattan brand.
Buyers can also choose a MultiWii control board, adding GPS capability along with headlock, self-leveling and altitude hold. The full-function Armattan Mullet control board, an updated version of the Naze32 Afro Acro board and loosely based on the MultiWii has recently been added to the product lineup.
On April 4, 2014, it was announced via Armattan's RCGroups.com blog that a new series of motors under the Armattan brand from Chinese manufacturer T-Motor had been developed specifically for Armattan acrobatic models.
April 25 brought the announcement of the CF 226, an acrobatic mini-quadcopter frame. The all-carbon fiber frame may be unique in the hobby industry as the first R/C product backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty. Should the arms or center plates break, they will be replaced for free. The warranty does not extend to the 1mm thick control board cover plate, nylon hardware or electronics. That same warranty was extended in late August to include all Armattan carbon fiber frames thanks to the use of improved carbon fiber.
In late 2015, Armattan Productions was announced. This is a revolutionary concept where all of Armattan's original designs were made open source and where users can now submit original plans and ideas for manufacture in Taiwan. It also gives users the opportunity to market their products and designs either directly through Armattan Productions or through their own online storefronts.
Current models
The current Armattan model lineup consists of the following:
- CNC 258, a small yet super-high performance aluminum quadcopter built for speed. It measures only 10.5" (258mm) motor to motor, yet is powered by motors intended for a much larger machine. It is designed to be as resistant to crash damage as possible, is an excellent beginners' platform yet is capable of extremely high speeds and, depending on the control board settings, flips. A lightweight carbon fiber version is available for even greater performance.
- CNC 355, a larger version of the CNC 258. It is less resistant to crash damage due to its larger size, but is easier to see. A carbon fiber version is available.
- M Series, an inexpensive line of quadcopters based on Leroux's original RCGroups.com designs. Parts are both plentiful and inexpensive; the models are the least expensive transmitter-ready quads on the market.
- Armattan One, the lightest and fastest quad in the model lineup at the time of its introduction, measuring only 260mm motor-to-motor. Leroux credits RCGroups.com user "Creepy1" for his aid in developing this model with its one-piece, laser-cut aircraft aluminum frame.
- V-Tail, unique, V-tailed quadcopters based on both the CNC 258 and CNC 355. Developed in conjunction with RCGroups.com contributor and engineer Andrew Meyer, the models feature downward-pointing motors on the V-tail and may be fitted with Armattan's GoPro camera mount.
- Tricopter 258 and 258 CF, again based on the CNC 258 and CNC 355 and developed with the aid of Andrew Meyer. Available in either aluminum or carbon fiber, the Tricopter features an enclosed, gyroscopically stabilized tail mechanism pivoted via a metal-geared 9g digital servo and is designed for high-performance flying. They too may be equipped with a GoPro mount. The carbon fiber version is presently available as a special order item, but will soon be added to the regular product lineup.
- CF 226, a fully acrobatic mini-quadcopter and the first in the hobby industry backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage of the arms or center frame.
- FPV Rev. 2 TILT and TILT Hexacopter, 333mm first person view platforms with a GoPro camera mount which may be tilted per the pilot's preference.
- Armattan Minis, a line of extra small quadcopters and hexacopters ranging in size from 155mm to 180mm. Though small enough to fly indoors, these models are quite fast and are suitable for both racing and FPV use.

Hail Jesus: The Weekly and Pastor Wiley Drake Save America, One Day at a Time!
Dearest brethren and sisters of the Internet, God's children all:
Let us all join our hands in prayer and thank the Lord for both the Orange County Weekly and Wiley Drake, the Buena Park-based, homeless-person-feeding, gay-bashing, Southern Baptist Pastor.
Why blesseth we the Weekly and Pastor Drake?
For this, I sayeth: America would certainly have blown up into a million billion little pieces by now if it weren't for them, because God--yeah God, the bearded fella who teaches us that the queers should be killed and you should never worship golden cows or covet your neighbor's wife or other property--loves Israel. And the Bush administration, those whores of Babylon, have earned His wrath by sponsoring so-called peace talks in that sinful land known as Annapolis, Maryland.

Get behind me, Satan!
Now, this so-called peace deal, as told to us by Pastor Drake--praise Jesus!--between the Israelis and the Palestinians is a threat to God's chosen people and their land. Don't ask why! Don't question Pastor Drake on this, for he is a Pastor and he knoweth the Lord! Amen!
In a Nov. 27 email Pastor Drake sent the Weekly, he called on us to join him in his daily prayer vigil on behalf of Israel, warning us that the "Piece [sic] deal in Annapolis will blow America to pieces." Drake, who talks to God on a daily basis, quoted Him as saying that "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
When we got this email, we prayed, and we prayed hard. Praise Jesus! All hail the Lord! And so far the world ain't blowed up yet.

Thank you so much for your interest in my food photography workshops. I never thought I'd teach, but due to popular demand I began to host food photography workshops, and I fell in love with these experiences! I loved seeing that "click" when the internal camera settings finally made sense to attendees. I loved seeing what my students come up with and when they begin to develop their own personal style. I love being with a group of like minded creatives, bonding over light and shadows, and developing camaraderie over beautiful, delicious dinners.
To see previous workshops, see here. If you're interested in signing up for one, just send me an email at bettysliu07 [at] gmail [dot] com, and I'll add you to the list so that you'll be the very first to know once the next one opens!!!!
stay tuned for 2018 workshops!
email me to be added to the list. The CA workshop sold over half the tickets in the email pre-sale before it was even open to the public! bettysliu07 [at] gmail [dot] com
The in-between moments can be even more beautiful than the final product. As a working wedding photographer, process is what drives a lot of my photography. Sometimes all I do is photograph the moments that happen in a flash – and they're beautiful because of their transience. I find these same quality of moments in the process of making food. It's what I fell in love with. Let's explore this together. You'll walk away with a better sense of visual story-telling and a bundle of new images for your portfolio or website. Usually, these workshops include lessons on the internal settings of the camera, live photo demonstrations and opportunities to build your portfolio, a fun activity local to the area, styling and prop sourcing talks, discussions on business, and of course, post-processing.
I also occasionally do one-on-one sessions in my home. I'm in Boston, so if you have an interest in that, just send me an email.

by Sheila Burchill
Writing a review of Jan Omdahl's a-ha biography 'The Swing of Things' is going to be no easy task. This is not least because the book is packed with so much; some 400 pages, 18 chapters, a wealth of information previously unwritten, pictures never seen, and scrutinizing details right down to the band members' individual dietary requirements when they go on tour, but because no matter how much I try to be objective and assess the merits of the book and writer, I keep getting drawn back into the one resounding affect of having read the book, which is that I feel like I am judging a-ha: Morten, Magne and Paul.
I read the book over four evenings during the Christmas break, and found myself taking time to savour each chapter. This is not only because I had waited months for it to arrive on my doorstep and then had to wait even longer for Santa (my boyfriend) to let me open it and therefore wanted the enjoyment of reading it to last that little bit longer, but because the opening few chapters are full of so many snippets of information which I never knew, or I knew once when I was a teenager and have since forgotten, that I wanted to take in as much as humanly possible without skimming over bits.
Once I had gotten over the initial discomfort with the idea that Morten, Magne and Paul lead pretty separate lives these days and don't exactly see eye-to-eye on a lot of things anymore, and I had adjusted to the fact that they had managed to record my favourite a-ha album 'Lifelines' without all three of them ever being in the recording studio at the same time, I was able to settle into reading the book with a more open mind, and was prepared to take on more of what the author perhaps intended: a portrait of three guys as they are today, and their histories inexplicably bound together.
I feel that Morten, Magne and Paul have been pretty brave (or clever?) letting this book go to print. It certainly challenges preconceptions about how the reader might think a band should behave with one another, and how they each have their own slant on events of the last 20 years or so. For the hardened fan it is an absolute must. For someone who dips into their music occasionally and respects or admires a-ha from the periphery, this is not the sugar-coated biography they may have expected or preferred. In fact it is quite a 'hard read' in the sense that it challenges and bombards the reader with facts, emotions and surprises. My friend has described reading the book as being similar to watching a film, because she has had flashbacks and segments of it running through her head ever since – trying to make sense of all the parts and putting them into context from the point of view of the band members and herself as a fan.
I guess that what Omdahl has achieved with 'The Swing of Things', is that he has managed to capture the essence of a-ha, not by writing a chronology of what could have been through rose-tinted glasses, but by giving us a rather sad and complex snapshot of a somewhat disjointed trio and their individual feelings (diluted maybe?) towards 'a-ha' and each other. The way in which he achieves this, is not by telling a story from A to Z…the rise and fall of (or should it be the rise and rise of?), but by letting the reader see for themselves what Morten, Magne and Paul remember about particular songs being written, how they were recorded or produced and other events in a-ha's past. It is the accounts from ex-managers, friends and family, and the chapter on fame and how a-ha came to terms with it that adds a crucial element to the book. It is about lost friendship, ambition, drive and money. It is the way the book addresses the many different faces of a-ha that makes it a great read for any fan like myself. However its greatest achievement is in not being afraid to show that a-ha are not a band in the truest sense of the word….but more a 'project' that three very different and talented individuals get involved in when the timing is right.
The one thing it lacks is a short note at the end from Magne, Morten and Paul saying what they thought of the book! …but that would probably be way too much for any fan to take in!

Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi late on Friday accused PM Narendra Modi of being "weak" while referring to his recent statements on 'Gau rakshaks' and Dalits.
"The PM should have said that those who kill Dalits will have to face the bullets of the Indian police. If I were in his place, I would have said that," said Akbaruddin Owaisi while addressing a public meeting at Mahboob Chowk in Old City.

|King Cold
Full Name
King Cold
Rule the universe
Killed by Future Frunks
King Cold is an antagonist in Dragon Ball Z. He is the father of Frieza and Cooler, and is the true ruler of the planet trade organization. King Cold rules through his younger son Frieza, keeping his own existence a secret from the public.
King Cold was a mutant with an abnormally high power level, which was passed down to his younger son Frieza. King Cold abused his two sons, Cooler and Frieza, while the two grew up, and later made Frieza the public face of the planet trade organization. King Cold also warned Frieza never to cross Majin Buu and Beerus the Destroyer, knowing that these two beings were even more powerful than they were.
During the events on Namek, during which Frieza was left in critical damage after his battle with Super Saiyan Goku, King Cold arrived with his crew and search the remains of the destroyed planet. They succeed in finding Frieza and manage to rebuild him as a cyborg. Upon awakening, Frieza demanded that they set a course for Earth, so that he may take revenge on Goku.
After arriving on Earth, King Cold gives Frieza permission to kill Goku's friends, and gives the command for his soldiers to kill any earthlings they come across. However, they are met with Future Trunks, who dispatches all of King Cold's men. Trunks then reveals himself to be a Super Saiyan, and kills Frieza. King Cold is initially unconcerned, as he believes that Trunks is only so powerful due to his sword, reasoning that if he takes it, Trunks would be powerless. However, Trunks quickly subdues King Cold, who begs for mercy. However, his pleadings fall on deaf ears, and Trunks finishes off the overlord.
King Cold's spirit was later sent to Hell, along with Frieza. While there, King Cold and his son formed an alliance with Cell after his own death, and they transpired to return to Earth. However, they were defeated by Goku and Pikkon and detained. After their release, the villains watched Goku's final battle with Majin Buu, culminating in Buu's defeat.
