"It's been going very well and I'm honoured to have this opportunity at Lakeland. I've taken time to meet with each department and we're excited about having business and continuing education together in one school," he says of the reorganized school. "We've got talented people in both areas and we're making positive changes."
No stranger to Lakeland, Onofrychuk has been with the business department since 2007 when he joined the faculty. For the last five years, Onofrychuk served as the Lakeland business chair and a part-time instructor. He led Lakeland's case competition team for four years and saw them reach the podium at the Alberta Deans of Business Case Competition twice. In 2011, Onofrychuk took his economics class to London, England for an international learning field trip.
Before coming to Lakeland, Onofrychuk earned a bachelor of management and international management degree from the University of Lethbridge and an MBA from Ipade Business School, the top business school in Latin America. Onofrychuk progressively worked in the retail industry before starting his teaching career. The father of four is also a dedicated volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Lloydminster and the 3rd Lloydminster Scout Group.
"On behalf of Lakeland College, we're pleased to have Brad as the dean of business and continuing education," says Michael Crowe, Lakeland's vice president, academic. "With his extensive experience and wealth of knowledge, Brad will excel in this leadership role and work to provide meaningful learning opportunities for students."
Together, the business and continuing education departments are complementary says Onofrychuk. By reaching out to other departments, the school is looking for opportunities to offer more continuing education programming that meets the community's needs.
"We're also taking a look at what we currently offer and if we can strengthen it or improve upon it," Onofrychuk says. "For the business department, we're pursuing potential degree options for our students. Overall, our goal is to enhance our programming and provide opportunities for our students to take the lead."
The business department offers an accounting technician certificate program and a business administration diploma, which features five majors: accounting, general business, marketing, real estate appraisal and assessment, and small business and entrepreneurship. The continuing education department offers programs and courses in employment skills enhancement, energy, and performing arts, among other areas of interest.

text: I recently bought the two adapters Micro USB Auto Quick Charge 5V; 1A and Belkin F8Z121 USB AC Wall Charger and observed a completely longer charge time compared to the oem wall charger. Both have the same specified output (5v, 1A) as the oem adapter so I didn't expect these results. Further inspection showed that while using these 3rd party adapters, my BatteryLife widget is displaying the usb icon and not the normal plug icon that's seen when using the oem. Does anyone know how the phone distinguishes the difference in adapters? Can certain adapters identify themselves as a standard usb connection, forcing the phone into a slower trickle charge?

I looked through the forums to see if I could find a solution to no avail. I just installed the Avisio Theme to wordpress. I uploaded my featured image to "slider entry" and my slider image just keeps "LOADING." The thumbnail image is showing up perfectly fine but not the main image. This is a new page I just started so there are no plug-ins or anything else loaded, just the Avisio Theme and the slider image. Please help.
Please post a link to your website. We'll investigate the source code.
Best regards,
This is my website. http://www.you2them.com/ I literally just started working on it and it is just a test site. Unfortunately, I am now having a problem uploading the logo. I tried adding it under avisio options and also changing the size of the space for the logo on the style.css but cannot get the image up. I tried looking for the file that the demo Avisio logo in in to replace it with my image, can't seem to do that either.
Hey! Seems the website is not online right now. Did you stop working on the theme or move it?
Hi Kriesi,
For some reason my entire site crashed yesterday and I ended up deleting everything and starting over. The slider is working perfectly now. I guess that solves it. Thank You for the awesome theme :-)

Signs of A Crash: Decadence and Complacency
Slowly, but surely, we're approaching a notable anniversary.
On October 12th, 2007, the markets hit a high mark that wouldn't be seen again for nearly six years. We're six months from the 10th anniversary of the peak before the 56% drop in the S&P 500.
Soon, we'll be remembering the cascade of portentous events through news headlines and retrospectives, only now with a smugness that hindsight and distance allow us to afford.
With these headlines will come talk of the lessons hard learned. Mentions of those left behind in the pyrrhic victory that eventually allowed those left standing to rise to new heights will be made, but they'll almost entirely be in the past tense.
As if all the damage done back then ended back then as well. As if so many aren't still living in a constantly evolving struggle of diminished fortunes and fates. As if what doesn't kill you always makes you stronger.
After all, we so rarely can stomach a story without a silver lining, or a neat and tidy ending. Loss without any gain only lets that nagging voice in the back of our minds ask us, "what was the point?"
No wonder so many of those with influence or power have failed to ask these questions: Did we learn the right lessons? Have we truly put our flaws behind us? Did we find a point to so much suffering?
It was a chaotic and dirty affair, and one that we found too painful and bleak to address then through now. We can certainly see that today with so many protagonists absolved of all crimes, if not rewarded in the end.
It feels better to let ourselves believe that we got it right, and sweep it under the rug, then continue to reopen old wounds, and feel vulnerable.
That alone should give us pause. What we are seeing today in the markets should truly make us worry.
We may not face the same type of calamity in the markets or economy, but we certainly see some of the same underlying causes — decadence and complacency — guiding us toward another crash.
The Decadence of Companies
We're coasting through a period of decadence in corporate America that is nearly unprecedented in recent history.
The Great Recession was ushered in through vast swaths of the country living far beyond their means, and a financial sector more than willing to cater to it while adding layer upon layer to it.
We see some of that today through a complete removal of risk being priced into debt and questionable lending, but we're seeing a much larger part of the market create the same risks on their own balance sheets.
We've seen horribly repressed investment in the future through low capital expenditures, and the funds that would fuel tomorrow's growth go into corporate debt and share buybacks.
Corporate debt levels have never been higher. Though it may be supplied by the Fed and global QE, it is the corporations themselves who issue it.
And a disturbing level of that borrowing, which takes money from the future and pumps it into the market today, being routed into buybacks at or near all-time highs in share prices.
Record levels of share buybacks at these highly priced valuations are only bound to continue. Though the end of last year saw share buybacks fall off, all signs point to a renewed influx.
Both Citibank and Goldman Sachs research point to share buybacks hitting a level of total corporate cash not seen since 2007.
Goldman expects that total capital usage will increase by 12% to $2.6 trillion with 52% allocated to investing for growth (capex, R&D, and cash M&A) and 48% to returning to shareholders.
The only other time 48% of total cash was returned to investors was back in 2007 just ahead of the bursting of the credit bubble.
At the same time, corporate America is spending far more to fuel mergers and acquisitions than it should.
Goodwill — the difference between what assets are worth on paper and how much an acquirer paid for them — is also soaring. At S&P 500 companies, goodwill has risen by two-thirds over the past decade and accounts for more than one-third of net assets.
In the past two years, takeover targets have sold for a median of 11 times earnings, before interest, taxes, debt, and amortization. That is essentially 11 years of profit paid as a premium, with interest from the debt that funds the deals tagged on to boot.
The multiple was only about 7 to 9 times in the years leading up to the recent merger frenzy.
Earnings will suffer, especially with any pullback in share prices and the write-downs that will result. Assets on paper will vanish, along with profits on paper for investors.

The Complacency of Markets
While corporations and their executives are living in decadence, beyond the means that their companies can fundamentally support, the markets and investors are complacently playing along.
Homeowner debt is rising, and credit card debt has passed the $1 trillion mark again for the first time since the Great Recession. Hardly good signs when consumption stands at a record 69.4% of gross domestic product.
Consumer confidence is strong on paper, but the bills will always come due. Rising delinquency and default rates are already here.
While these consumers load up on debt, they allow the corporations they invest in to do the same. And make no mistake, this credit and corporate debt are fueled by investors. Credit expansion is almost entirely limited to the middle class and up.
People are borrowing more in the belief that the money in their retirement accounts is the same as real money, in spite of the fact that it can disappear overnight.
Along with the risks from goodwill and from overall corporate debt, share prices have soared far beyond earnings.
The levels we're seeing would take far too long for tepid earnings growth, and weak economic growth, to catch up in any reasonable time.
At current levels, the market is vulnerable to a crash for years to come.
Heed the Warnings
Going on 10 years since the Great Recession, it is very clear that corporations, the market, politicians, and investors have all dropped their guard.
Many who weren't ruined and faded into obscurity last time around have fallen into the decadence that seemingly risk-free debt can give them at the cost of tomorrow's earnings, or become complacent to ride along until the bitter end.
I am far from alone in this view. The warning calls have been coming from more and more people, and now one of the most legendary outsider investors is weighing in as well.
James Dines is one of the biggest names in financial publishing. When Wall Street didn't believe him, he was fired.
But Mr. Dines stuck to his guns. And he decided to take his message public. So he warned the world of the coming gold boom through his own newsletter.
It was the first newsletter to be published independently outside of a Wall Street brokerage firm or bank.
And it was Mr. Dines and his readers who ultimately got the last laugh. His $400 gold call looked conservative when gold hit $850.
The Internet stock boom in 1996, the dot-com bust in 1999, the second wave of gold and silver bull market in 2001, the rise of China, the housing collapse in 2007, and current deflation. He was ahead of all of them.
Don't be complacent. Folks who are willing to make investment calls in the face of the harshest criticism and defiance from the powers-that-be are rare. Read what this legend has to say.
Take care,
Adam English
P.S. I'd like to wish a Happy Easter to everyone. Even if it isn't part of your beliefs, I hope you always find what it celebrates — grace, forgiveness, and redemption — in whatever form, whenever you find yourself in need.

help me to leave him to enjoy himself(156 Posts)
Name change for obvious reasons. Dp takes a lot of cocaine when he goes out, we do not live together, he keeps that side of his life mainly separate to ours. I have decided to take a step back and not let him know I worry about him on his 'nights' out. Can someone try to give me advice on how to stay away from my mobile phone whenever he goes out? I worry about him dying, getting arrested or getting into fights until it makes me ill but it drives him away. He knows I worry and does try to keep in touch when he's out but he is not the best at remembering to contact me. I want to give him the freedom to not feel guilty about enjoying his time with his friends but have no idea how.
I don't know what to do
It would be wrong to tell you not to worry, as he is putting himself in harm's way.
He is putting himself in harm's way and apparently couldn't care less that this is causing you stress (so he is guilt tripping you for caring?!).
I think you should leave him to self-destruct on his own time.
You can stay with him and somehow come to terms with his choices or leave him and find a relationship without the worry and heartbreak
He's the one who's needy!
You'll have a miserable life with this man. You love the man he could be, not the man he is.
He'll drag you down with him, and I'm not saying you'll take it again, but he will drag you down.
Run. Fast. Don't look back. Love yourself.
How old is he? Not that it makes a lot of difference but if he's older it may be more entrenched.
I was married to a musician coke-head for years. They don't change so you are going to have to. My advice, run. Coke makes you selfish, self-centred, miserable, twitchy and boring. And, it fucks your body and brain up.
Failing that, play the good girl for a while, don't check your phone, don't text, don't mention his nights out, then wise up in a few years and run anyway.
Well, I suggest on his big nights out, you get together with some friends and have a night out yourself.
You might meet someone who doesn't do drugs and treats you nicely. You don't live together so at least you aren't legally or financially tied to him, so run away as fast as you can.
Coke heads are selfish, paranoid, egoistical. He probably does more coke than you think. Does he pop to the loo the minute he arrives at yours? Check the cistern, he will have a stash somewhere. He will say he won't, but he will.
I was unlucky enough to have a coke head bf once, but I left when I found out he was a coke head. I really missed him, but it was the right thing to do.
To him, the coke is more important. The realistic chances of him being straight all the time and only taking drugs when with his friends are nil. Unless he gets into rehab and has an immense amount of therapy over several years, he will never be the partner he pretends to be between binges.
He is not your partner. He is a selfish twunt who fakes it to keep you sweet.
It isn't 'giving up' to end a relationship that causes you hurt and stress. So many women describe wanting to make sure they've done everything they can and not give up on a relationship as if they are not allowed to end it otherwise.
He chooses cocaine over you. He knows you are worried. He knows you want him to stop but he still does it. Surely he's the one who needs to try to change, not you? You will struggle to be happy with this man. You will worry every time he's out. I couldn't live like that and I don't know many who could.
Do you have children?
You can't stop being worried about his drug habit because you know it's wrong for him to act like that. Snorting vast quantities of coke for 2 days every few weeks is not behaviour many people would choose in a partner and you are asking how to persuade yourself to think this is not something to worry about. You can't, and shouldn't.
This behaviour will become intolerable to you, sooner or later. If you have kids it had better be sooner.
How did you stop, OP?
Panda Quite frankly, I'd be giving him total freedom to fuck off and take his coke habit with him
OP I thought a guy was lovely til I discovered his chronic weed habit - they will always love their drugs more than you. IMO they only ever see you as another 'ride'
literally at the funfair they have in their head. Best thing is to get rid before you find your life rubbish strewn and covered in vomit...
I love him immensely, he does not reciprocate
You have no idea how to stop worrying about him while he goes on a drug fueled bender because you are a decent human being. Don't lose that.
You deserve to be loved and respected by your partner. However good the good times are, I think you know that there isn't going to be any happily every after with this man.
I think you already know that what PurplePidjin says is the truth
He is not your partner. He is a selfish twunt who fakes it to keep you sweet.
He is a drug addict, it is an illness. Has he even admitted he has a problem? If not then recovery could be many years off (or he may not recover). He is risking injury, jail and death. Al-Anon may be useful for you to help you decide how you want to live your life, given the situation.
Of course he doesn't reciprocate. He loves the drugs, not you.
He is a heavy drug user, you are codependent.
No one in their right mind is going to advise you how to enable him further than you already are.
If he really is doing 3g of quality ( it will not be 100% pure unless he is importing it from Columbia in KG bags) cocaine he is probably spending £100 - £200 for the pleasure.
I am going to guess that he lives with you alot of time, you look after him and do some washing , all the cooking , and cope with his come down.
He is probably doing a tiny amount every day as well , doubtful that he can go for 2 weeks without any at all then go crazy for a weekend.
Do you go away on holidays abroad?
Does he buy you naice things ? Flowers even?
Do you both own your homes ? as he is pretty much spending a mtg on class A drugs.
Do you want to live with someone who is addicted to an illegal substance.
Sounds a little strange and i dont think there is anything you can do to stop yourslef worrying he hasnt snorted a shed load of horse tranquliser and is having an allegeric reaction.
Just say no kids, look at what happened to Zamo.
I think too that you are codependent as well on this and that state is also unhealthy. Forget him and give him the boot as of now, you need to sort your own self out first and start loving your own self for a change.
I am wondering too what you learnt about relationships when growing up because you've likely learnt an awful lot of damaging stuff to accept this now as your lot.
You are putting this relationship before your own wellbeing to your own detriment. He loves the drug more than you, you mean nothing to him really.
Being with an addict is ultimately a waste of time. He will either hit rock bottom and change, or he will carry on like this for ever. Hitting rock bottom might take years and will usually involve getting in lots of trouble - work, finances, legal.
I would run like the fucking wind. He sounds like an immature selfish dick. You can do better than this.
You are in a codependent relationship with an addict. If you really want to learn to detach from what he is doing, then try going along to an Al Anon meeting and ask how to do that, you can learn how. Personally I would not put myself through this relationship, but I realise that when you are in the middle of the insanity of someone else's addiction that is easier said than done. So at least look after yourself. Go to Al Anon or talk to a therapist.
Where do you want this relationship to go?
Do you plan on living together at some point? Because if you do are you aware that you are potentially getting into a situation where your house could be raided by the police, you could end up with a criminal record, you could wake up one morning to find he has died from heart failure in his sleep...
Why on earth would you do that?
Do you hope to live together but with him being free from drugs? You could be waiting an awfully long time. He's clearly an addict if wants to stop and can't. IME people with coke addictions that involve all-weekend benders don't stop at all if they haven't knocked it on the head by the time they become a grown up with responsibilities. How old are you both?
If you don't plan on living together and just want to learn to switch off from him, concentrate hard on building your own life, with your own friends and your own interests. Throw yourself into them. I very much suspect that if you developed your own, fulfilling life independent of your DP he would cease to become your DP in no short space of time.
Relationships shouldn't be this hard. If they are, something has gone badly wrong.
his main relationship is with the drug, not you. can you accept that?
it's not a good thing to turn yourself inside out trying to accommodate something someone else does when it makes you unhappy. you will end up resenting him
Listen, I promise you, there are handome, kind, funny, generous, hard working men out there who don't have to fill their noses with shit to have a good time.
Could you imagine having kids with this guy? How could you ever trust him with a baby? If kids aren't something you want, how about YOU? Do you want to spend your time surrounded by drugs?
I promise you, there are better options than this kind of life.
Once you are past your early twenties, or once you have DC, or once you have a partner who doesn't share this sort of lifestyle... then I think continuing with these regular weekend benders is rather pathetic, and it shows you there is something lacking in the person. Why can't they grow up?
I do think people can change, but you should be thinking about if he doesn't change, does not want to - do you just basically want different lives?
You can love someone but be incompatible to share a life you know. Then it's really better to say goodbye sooner rather than later.
There are three of you in this relationship and you're the OW.
I went out with a guy who enjoyed a line or seven on a weekend. As he came up, the quality of the conversation went down, he would sleep in until 4pm then mooch around for hours and then wonder why he would get a cold & comedown in the middle of the week. He's now dating a woman who has a bigger habit than him, all they do is get high and have sex.
Fated: everyone here is giving you the same advice.
Many of them haved lived with a coke head so they DO know what they are on about it.
Just finish the relationship - get him out of your life.
Don't try to help him give up his habit.
You've given up yours years ago and are not responsible for him.
You don't live together so it won't be a massive upheaval.
A partner will come into your life who wants you and spends his time thinking about you, not about his next line.

Rosa Golden Wedding ('Arokris') (PBR)
Rosa Golden Wedding ('Arokris') (PBR)
- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: July and September
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Glorious, fully double, slightly scented, golden yellow flowers from July to September and glossy, dark green leaves. This upright, floribunda rose makes an excellent gift to mark a fiftieth wedding anniversary. Vigorous and disease-resistant, it's perfect for an open, sunny site with fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Some suppliers send out their roses as 'bare root' plants (ie without pots or compost), but we pot ours up as it helps to keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. As they are dormant throughout the winter, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally they should planted out as soon as possible. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting.
- Garden care: If planting in winter, choose a frost-free spell when the soil is not frozen. Roses are quite deep-rooted plants so dig a deep hole roughly twice as wide as the plants roots and mix in a generous amount of composted organic matter. A top-dressing of a general purpose fertiliser can be worked into the surrounding soil and we also recommend using Rose Rootgrow at this stage to encourage better root development. This is particularly important when planting into a bed where roses have previously been grown as Rose Rootgrow is said to combat rose sickness (aka. replant disease).
Remove the plants from their pots and gently spread out the roots before placing them in the centre of the hole. Try to ensure that the 'bud union' (the point where the cultivated rose has been grafted onto the rootstock, and from where the shoots emerge) is at soil level. You can judge this quite easily by laying something flat, like a spade handle or bamboo cane, across the top of the hole. When they are at the right height, back-fill the hole, firming the soil down gently before watering the plant well.
Water generously until well established, and apply a specialist rose fertiliser (following the manufacturers instructions) each spring. They will also benefit from a generous mulch of composted farmyard manure in spring, but make sure this is kept away from the stems.
While wearing tough gloves, prune in late winter or early spring, removing any dead, damaged or weak-looking stems completely. The younger stems tend to produce the best flowers on hybrid teas, so if the plant is becoming congested, cut one or two of the older stems right back to their base, which will also help open up the centre of the plant. Then cut back the most vigorous stems to within 25-30cm from the base, and the thinner stems back a little harder.

- I have had a golden wedding rose in a pot for 7 years but although the leaves look healthy it has not flowered this year.I am anxious to keep this rose as my Husband died in June. Can you advise me please how to treat it
rose lover
Hello, It sounds as though it is well and truly due for a bigger pot, so I would move it in autumn (using John Innes No2 or No3 compost) and make sure it is placed in a spot that gets sun for the best part of the day. In spring next year, you can start feeding it with a suitable rose fertiliser and make sure it is kept really well watered. http://www.crocus.co.uk/product/_/j-arthur-bowers-rose-food-3kg/classid.1000000531/
- 'Golden Wedding' Rose pruning advice please Dear Crocus, I had a Rose 'Golden Wedding' as a gift two years ago which is doing very well, but how do I prune it /manage it to get stronger stems, to hold up the magnificent flower heads without staking? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
E. Watson
Hello There, I would feed it throughout the summer with a specialist rose fertiliser to help it get strong, but prune it in early spring, just as the buds are starting to swell. After the plant has been allowed to become established for the first year, you can cut it back between a third and two thirds of their total height. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

- Disease resistant roses for a coastal area Hi, Before I order some roses I need some information on which ones would grow well in our local conditions. I live in the far west of Cornwall, the soil is fairly acid,- Camellias grow well here. It's windy and the air is quite salt laden since we're not far from the sea. I'd like disease resistant plants if possilbe since the climbing roses by the cottage door do get black spot. At the moment, even here, where we hardly ever have a frost, there is 4 inches of snow on the ground and the temperature has been 0 to minus 1 for the past five days.... the postman hasn't reached us for four days! ...So, I won't be ordering the roses right now. Thanks, Trudi
Trudi Gurling
Hello Trudi, All roses need similar growing conditions, although a couple are slightly more tolerant of shade than others. If you click on the following link it will take you to all our roses that show some resistance to diseases. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/roses/plcid.8/vid.243/ I hope this helps.

Don't miss the publication party for Inner City Romance this Saturday featuring sweet original art by Guy Colwell. The exhibition fittingly opens on Valentine's Day from 6:00 to 9:00 PM and coincides with the 7th anniversary of the colorful Georgetown Art Attack.
Guy Colwell's comic book serial Inner City Romance appeared in 1972, illustrating the unvarnished reality of an emerging urban counterculture. As Matt Gonzalez observes in Juxtapoz magazine, "Colwell's art is motivated by two primary sentiments: first, a deep political strain meant to expose and offer commentary on political, economic, and racial disparities that exist in our society, and second, an awareness of man's uncomfortable relationship with nature and sexuality."
The exhibition of original pages, prints, paintings and drawings by this accomplished artist is one of many highlights of the Georgetown Art Attack. Spend a romantic evening in the enchanting industrial arts district of Georgetown. Visit Fran's Chocolates new factory across the street from the bookstore, explore art studios and galleries, enjoy dinner and drinks at one of two dozen bars and restaurants, and encounter spontaneous spectacles all over the historic neighborhood.
Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street (at Airport Way S.), minutes south of downtown Seattle. Open daily, 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110.

Review by jjmcgaffey
Ah, that's more like it. Three stories - the first is Bad Suki, which is weird. Modesty and Willie are really on a hunt - this, I think, is the first place where Modesty's anti-pusher feeling is shown, at least so vividly. Well, it comes up in Mister Sun, too, but she expresses it more strongly here. And they're nicely snookered by Suki! The comedy of errors when Brookie shows up again is - quite realistic, actually. Good story overall, though a bit dated, as Walt Simonson says in the introduction. It is very firmly a hippie story, though it would work just as well with a less time-limited sub-culture. Nice story with neat tricks. And poor Brookie. Next is The Galley Slaves, which I enjoy. The settings are neat, Modesty and Willie encounter an old friend who isn't anymore (so we get a sideways glimpse of The Network), Tarrant gets sneaky, the final battle is wonderful - this one is great all around. Then comes The Red Griffon - it's good, but poor Max. The drawings of the boy annoyed me - he always has his mouth wide open! Ugly. Again, Modesty and Willie are outfoxed, but the villain is definitely fighting out of his weight class. With all the handicaps they're under, he still never gets close to winning except once by surprise. And then they call on Freddie again - I like when characters show up again, with a bit of continuity. Though just how Modesty got from Papeete to Venice - well, by plane I suppose, but why and where did she meet Max and all the rest. Oh well, it can't really be a day-by-day story.

I like them hairy. Love to run my finger in chest and pub hair mmmmm
Who would be paying attention to whether he had hair or not?
For those quiet getting your breath back moments, it's nice to stroke something soft, and of course be stroked
Balls and cock must be shaved, the rest should be hairy.
A man should be hairy. Me ... shaved, soft and smooth all over.
Don't care either way as long as the cock is big, black, and hard!
Shaved every time and NO Stubble either
Hairy , its nice to be forced to bury your nose among His hair while sucking Him deep
Shaved makes it look bigger, Nothing worse then gaging on a pube
Love them shaved
Balls shaved only. Just trim the rest up.
I like hairless, totally without hair

This morning, General Campaign Chairman John Crowe and volunteer leaders serving on our 2011 United Way Campaign Cabinet came together to meet each other and learn more about the upcoming United Way fundraising effort.
"This is one of the largest Campaign Cabinets we've ever had," said Faye Carter, Sr. Vice President of Community Alignment and Fundraising for United Way.
Business, academia, banking, retail, organized labor, the media, the legal profession, faith-based groups, the U.S. military, nonprofit organizations, and other sectors of our community are represented in this year's Campaign Cabinet.
"Getting the right people to help is one of the keys to success," Crowe observed. Crowe is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer at Buckeye Technologies, Inc. and several Buckeye volunteers are supporting his work by serving on the regional Cabinet this year.
The Cabinet also heard from United Way President Bryce Haugsdahl, who shared details of our strategic plan and reinvention work which continues to make changes and improvements to the day-to-day operations of our organization.
Key volunteers providing leadership in our Support Services area also shared details about their important work. Jozelle Booker (MLGW) provided details about the Executive Development Program which recruits and trains vital Loaned Executives for the fundraising drive. Cordell Walker (Alpha Omega Veteran's Services) shared information about the Campaign Services division. Steven Hill (FedEx) is helping our Employee Campaign Leaders Training and William Jones (United Steel Workers Local 7655) brought greetings of support from our Labor Participation division.
Crowe stressed that it is important for the group to work as a team to get United Way in front of potential givers. "We don't have trouble getting people to give to United Way – people want to help if we can share the message with local leadership and area workforces," he observed.

Vendor: Mama E C*EYE*BER Fiber
Hey there Fiber-philes!
I am Erin, or Mama-E, the woman behind C*EYE*BER Fiber Yarns.
I am really looking forward to this party for many( fiber addicted and compulsive) reasons! the biggest being getting to meet all of you!
C*EYE*BER Fibers is mainly a wholesale company, and that means I don't get to see knitters/crocheters/and spinners love up on the girls as they go to loving homes. This is going to be a great experience for me.
I am also really stoked that there will be so many great vendors from the DC/MD/VA area coming together in one place. It is high time we celebrate our wealth of talent that grows near the Chesapeake! Speaking of developing talent, remember to ask me about the Mobtown Fiber Co-OP schedule of intensive fiber arts classes!
I am bringing along my gnomey, Dawn Doran from Knitting Gnome Stitch Marker fame!
She will be there with her stitch kitsch and effervescent personality. Do stop by and say hey! We have lots of great things planned for ya!

Water quality and availability are identified as priority areas for outreach and educational programs in many U.S. regions. This project offers a needs assessment tool (survey) that could be used on a state-by-state, regional, or national basis to analyze public attitudes, opinions, and behaviors as related to water resource issues. The information collected through the needs assessment can be used to identify objectives, strategies, and delivery modes for extension programs, and to evaluate the programs. The goal was to implement the needs assessment survey at 5-year intervals to: (1) measure changes in public priorities; (2) evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs; and (3) reprioritize, as necessary, the educational goals. A needs assessment survey template was developed and piloted in the Pacific Northwest. During 2001–2010, surveys were conducted in 41 states and six Pacific Island entities. Almost 11,000 surveys were returned completed for a response rate of 44.5%. Five-year follow-up surveys have been completed in five states to date. The results of these surveys have been used to prioritize extension water programs and compare issues and needs across and within regions. It is anticipated that some form of this survey will be conducted at 5-year time intervals until water is no longer of national concern.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

David Cooperrider, PhD (GRS '86, organizational behavior), is a Distinguished University Professor and the Fairmount Santrol - David L. Cooperrider Professor in Appreciative Inquiry.
"Years ago, I developed an approach to scholarship called "Appreciative Inquiry [AI]." It is a way of designing questions that allows us to dream and devise big ideas together, instead of focusing solely on problems. It can quickly bring out the best in people and has been adopted by businesses worldwide.
In 1998, the Dalai Lama and others were developing a forum to bring leaders of all the world's religions together in dialogue, and his assistant asked if I would design and facilitate the events—and develop five opening questions.
I immediately thought, "This is way out of my league."
But I felt it would be a huge privilege.
For two full weeks, I developed those questions. I'd write them, then throw them away. I'd write them again and throw them away. I knew how critical it was. If the questions were right, miracles were possible. The first, for example, asked participants to describe a time when they saw clarity about their life's purpose. I wanted them to connect with each other's faith traditions. Imagine seeing the Dalai Lama ask a Greek Orthodox bishop the questions.
The event was a success. It changed my life to work with so many remarkable people.
Our next meeting was with former President Jimmy Carter at the Carter Center. There have been many similar events since that first one. And then a United Religions Initiative that uses AI was born and now has 699 centers around the world.
The first event stands out as one of the high moments of my career because it taught me that we live in worlds that our questions create."
We're delighted to share a new "Positivity Strategist" podcast featuring AIM2Flourish Executive Director Roberta Baskin and Appreciative Inquiry expert Robyn Stratton-Berkessel.

East Midlands: Gordon may be oldest single-handicapperFebruary 12, 2015 Golf News
Retired Arm captain best nonagenarian golfer in the country
A Suffolk golfer believes he is the oldest single-figure handicap golfer in the country.
Retired Army captain Gordan Gibbs, 90, who plays his golf at Aldeburgh, plays off a handicap of nine despite never having had a single golf lesson in his life.
Gibbs, who said he always shoots under his age, said there's no secret to his success.
Speaking to the Ipswich Star he said: "I just put it down and hit it. I've always had a fairly tidy short game, but I can't hit it far enough these days."
At his peak Gibbs was a scratch golfer and served as Suffolk county captain in the 1970s, winning numerous competitions and sinking eight holes-in-one over his career.
'I try to play four times a week in the geriatric foursomes' One of his best recent rounds was a 73 he shot in 2012, just a year after he suffered a heart attack on the Aldeburgh course.
"I try to play three or four times a week in what I call the geriatric foursomes," he said. "Golf is a good bit of exercise, it keeps you going and I'll just try to play for as long as I can."

(I was inspired by Nothing But Bonfires for this idea. I adore this blogger and her idea for this kind of writing project.)
I was born on time. The doctor told my mother "April 22nd" and that's when it was. I'm told that during labor, my heart rate scared the doctors—either it was too fast or too slow—and my mother's body wasn't ready yet to let me go. There was an emergency C-section and while my father was out getting McDonald's I entered the world. I could have the details wrong, but I know McDonald's was in there somewhere. So was a football game that my birth was interrupting, but that could just be hearsay. My mother brought me home on her birthday, exactly seven days after I was born.
She tells me I slept with books in my crib, that she would come in to wake me up in the morning and find me happily turning the pages of those hard-covered, cardboard-paged children's books, reading to myself. She tells me I was very well behaved and responded instantly and appropriately to the word "No." She tells me I played quietly and well by myself. I had no choice with this last point, considering it wasn't up to me whether or not my parents chose to create another child for me to play with. They did not, and therefore I developed advanced Playing By Myself skills at an early age.
I could balance sitting on my father's hand as he held me high above his head. I could help him cook and he would sit me on the kitchen counter and I would stir pancake batter, one hand gripped around a stirring spoon, the other clenched with excitement. This hand-clenching would become a trademark and my mother would remark when she saw my high school senior pictures, that the one in which I am smiling and clenching my hand was the one that seemed most realistic.
I called cobwebs "cowboys" and soup "puh." It seems I had early dyslexia that I reversed over time. Grand Union, the name of the grocery store ten minutes from our rural Vermont home, I called "Nu-nu-nu-nu," a fact of which my mother still delights in reminding me. "Gina," she'll call to me—-her now almost 29 year-old daughter—-"I'm off to Nu-nu-nu-nu now! Do you want anything?" It seems I had a proclivity for naming things in this fashion because besides the grocery store, I named my grandmother "Ma-ma-ma." I later reasoned to my friends, when they heard me call her "Mamama" out loud accidentally, that her name was thus because it was my "Mama's ma." Quick thinking on my part, but a lie nonetheless. And in any case, the name I chose for my grandmother stuck because the entire family began calling her that and still, fifteen years after her death, refer to her with those syllables from my toddler mouth.
My first friend who ever existed in my life and in my memory was Sara. Sara with no "h" at the end of her name and that was something I would remember forever. Her father ate large bars of Shredded Wheat cereal and I remember sitting at their counter early in the morning after my parents dropped me off at their house every weekday morning and watching the milk soak into those bars. He would break up the Shredded Wheat with his spoon, the metal clinking against the porcelain with each break. Sara and I went to the same kindergarten, a hippie childhood fantasy world called Poker Hill School far away from my house on winding, hilly dirt roads that became rutted and muddy during the spring. On one spring drive to Poker Hill, the car got caught in one of those ruts and slid off the road into a ditch. Sara started crying and I, not being entirely moved by the experience, cried just to fit in. It seemed appropriate to shed tears at a time like that, but I had the distinct feeling that I was faking.
Poker Hill gave me my first friends and one would become my best friend: Drew. Drew tells the story of the spring day the school had a running race on the dirt road and he was announced the winner. For a prize, he got to choose whatever song he wanted and the school would sing it with him. He chose "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer," and when he had made his selection and told the other kids, he heard a guffaw come from the crowd. It was me. While I have no recollection of this memory, I suppose I laughed because I felt it was silly to sing a Christmas song in the spring. And whenever Drew tells me of this memory, I laugh but only half-heartedly. I don't want to know I was a mean little girl.
Mamama had given me a dress with boats sewed on it upside-down so that when I wore the dress I could see them right-side up. I called it my Cambodia dress. That was in the early 80s when the word "Cambodia" was all over the news. Not knowing what Cambodia was or what it meant to refer to Cambodia at the time, I lovingly named my bright blue spring dress with the pristine white upside-down sails after the country whose leadership executed people by the thousands, burying them in mass graves, and standing by the motto: "To keep you is no benefit; to destroy you is no loss."
My swingset creaked. A brown and yellow metal contraption with a slide attached. It was set up on the uneven ground of our backyard, in the shade, and upon swinging forward, I could feel the whole set wobble. The chains holding the swing seat were rusted and because I had no siblings the whole set often went unused. But on summer days in the afternoons, I sat out there singing to myself and looking at my little house, running in once in a while for glasses of milk and peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches on brown bread, only to go back out and swing and sing some more. The creaking became rhythm for my songs, a squeaky lullaby to whichever parent sat on the back deck watching me keep myself busy. When the swingset came down, years later, the missing I felt in my chest would be palpable.

There's a hardware problem with the boot drive, or a device driver has a bug or a critical service was stopped.
Some older versions of Windows may show the description as "CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION".
This is a fatal Windows error, typically called a Stop message, Bug Check, or more commonly the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The system is in a forced reboot state. Any unsaved work is likely lost.

1994 Honda Civic - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
1994 EX Sedan
By MSisson on
Vehicle1994 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan
ReviewWe bought our EX sedan new in July of
1994 and it has been extremely
reliable, easy on gas and, generally, a
very positive experience to own. The
engine and drivetrain have performed
flawlessly. The fit and finish are
first rate. Our only minor complaints
are: cheap, flimsy cupholders; overly
large rear door pillars that restrict
rearview visability and less than
exceptional torque and power.
The car currently has 95K and I expect
it will readily get 200K or more with
minimal investment in replacement parts
and service.
All and all a very efficient little
sedan that's a little boring to drive,
but always gets you where you are
Best FeaturesGreat brakes. A very, very reliable engine and transmission (we have the 5 speed manual). Excellent paint and interior materials, particularly the headliner. Every feature still works!
Worst FeaturesCupholders. Large rear pillars. Trunk opening and opening into the passenger section are small meaning no square boxes unless they will fit through the doors. Cheapo factory stereo and tires (as with most cars).

Caitlyn Jenner Not Kendall's "Real Dad"?
Caitlyn Jenner IS Kendall Jenner's "real dad," despite a new report claiming otherwise. Gossip Cop can correct the story.
Wednesday's new edition of the National Enquirer blares, "Sex-Change Caitlyn's Not Kendall's Real Dad!" The accompanying story says "yet another paternity bombshell has hit the Kardashian clan." The supermarket tabloid claims, "With rumors still swirling that O.J. Simpson fathered Khloe, the latest shocker is that Caitlyn Jenner may not be 20-year-old model Kendall's real dad!"
So, who would it be then? "Buzz blew up that her mom Kris' former fling, soccer stud Todd Waterman, is her father," claims the magazine, writing, "Tellingly, comparing pictures of Kendall and Todd only adds fuel to the fire — the two boast mirror jawlines, browlines and smiles!"
"Kendall is worried her whole life is a lie," a so-called "family insider" dramatically alleges, with it further being said the teen is now "demanding a DNA test." The supposed source adds, "Kendall wants to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
Of course, given that the outlet is still trying to peddle the played-out story about Khloe's paternity, this new daddy dilemma obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt. And pointing the finger at Waterman doesn't make much sense. He and Kris hooked up while she was married to Robert Kardashian, and the affair had ended by the time the matriarch got together with Caitlyn, then known as Bruce Jenner.
Furthermore, both Kris and Waterman, who has run to the gossip rags many times, have openly spoken about their dalliances. Never have either suggested Kendall could be a product of their rendezvous. This is just the National Enquirer grasping at straws and putting a sensational twist on it all because of Caitlyn's transition. In other words, it's tabloid trash.

Kassadin Build Guide by typhoonfire8

Kassadin Build

late game
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Kassadin with this build
Combos and Maxing Order.
with the stranded build of maxing R>Q>E>W on Kassadin a full combo could kill them in a much slower and more clunky manor. With sheen Kassadin most of the damage comes from the W which allows for amazing one shot damage and very good mana restorations. sheen Kassadin is meant to be a get in get out kind of assassin and after maybe 2 seconds you go back in to pick up another kill. The maxing order, respectively for sheen Kassadin, is R>W>Q>E. Kassadins combo is ulting in and immediately applying your Q to the target to get a small, but incredibly useful, magic shield, following that up with a W then E so the chase can continue if you haven't already killed the target.
Spells and Runes
The spells are barrier and flash because Kassadin has enough potential to kill without ignite which makes it a useless spell late game. Barrier allows for extra protection as you are gonna always be the center of attention especially when in the face of the enemy teams ADC and Mid Lane carry. Though Kassadin already has a built in flash you don't know when you're gonna get into too sticky of a situation to wait for your ult cooldown to complete. The runes are meant for good early game cooldown and AP.
Sheen Kassadin has a build that is orientated around CD and AP. The Rod of Ages is a good starting AP item because it applies some tanky stats while giving a very good amount of AP. during the building stage of Rod of Ages getting a sheen in the middle of it allows for a large power spike during laning phase. after finishing Rod of Ages getting a morellonomicon gives good CD and AP while applying grievous wounds. Boots of Lucidity also gives a nice amount of CD and the distortion upgrade allows for your summoner spells to be up more often. after getting your core items getting a Lich Bane, Ludens Echo, and a Rabadons Death Cap allow for an intense late game power spike.

Venice plans artificial island to accommodate cruise ships
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Venice is studying a new proposal for reducing the impact of the colossal cruise ships that enter its lagoon on a daily basis.
Cruise ship passengers would disembark on the man-made, 940-metre island and board a fleet of catamarans to ferry them into Venice. Each catamaran would be able to take about 800 passengers, with the transfer to Venice's historic center taking less than an hour.
The proposed solution would allow passengers to experience the thrill of entering the lagoon by boat, but would satisfy the complaints of Venetians who say that the cruise ships are an eyesore, dwarfing the city's bell towers and palazzo as they lumber into dock.
Critics also say the cruise ships pollute Venice and exacerbate the erosion of its fragile foundations as they pass within a few hundred yards of St Mark's Square and along the narrow Giudecca Canal to the existing cruise ship terminal.
Duferco Engineering, the Italian company behind the idea, said the island would take about two years to build. It hoped for a decision from the Italian government within the next two months.
