So, what happens when you can't read? When you can't hold your book (as I found out to my misfortune last month). How does one adapt? What does one do? When I couldn't hold print books I turned to eBooks, mostly because I don't hold my iPhone (because if I held it that would strain my wrists...sensing a pattern?) but instead rest it on the nearest surface - the table, the bedclothes, etc. That said, the physiotherapist did comment that I should try and read less anyway (for my neck) [he was commenting on the fact that I always turned up for appointments with big (fantasy) books]. 'Have book, will travel'. That's me! Even thought I have now been given the go-ahead to read print books again I am still limited as to where - no holding print books in bed for example (but I can read them if they are resting on a table). For some reason I didn't turn to audio books. TBH, I'm not quite sure how I would take to them. Hmmm. Maybe I should try one? *grin*
I also turned to DVDs (because I could watch a DVD and ice my wrists at the same time). I've been winnowing my way through Supernatural. You know you're watching too much Supernatural when you start dreaming you're you...and you're one of the characters (Dean for those who know the series) [he's the one on the right in the image] and you're trying to convince another character (Dean's brother Sam) [he's on the left] to cast a spell to stop the Apocalypse...but Sam's more interested in umm...other stuff. WTF? (Plus, I thought I was a Dean gal!) Let's just say that I was looking at my subconscious rather weirdly this morning :)
So, how much do you need to read? And...if you can't read, what do you do?

I have been a maker of things all of my life. My mom always had a room in our house that was designated "the craft room" and that's why I am such a crafty weirdo today. I work on many projects at a time spanning from floral/event styling, prop styling, diy crafting for publications and techy companies.
I like to throw parties. Enough said.

An Out-Of-This-World Transportation Plan Lands In Edmonton
Meet George Jetson. Actually, his name is Dan Corns.
The next round of funding is crucial as Magnovate plans to build three full-sized vehicles, a small section of test track to be built in San Jose, Calif., and then a one-kilometre section of track built on University of Alberta land. Total cost of that project is $15 million. Stantec is working on a track design and PCL Construction will be contracted to build it, starting in early 2014.
"We've conceptually looked at what that test track should contain. It will have curves and elevation changes and grades," Stantec vice-president of transportation Harvey Olsen said. "We are looking forward to seeing the test track in action."
Corns said that in addition to Stantec and PCL, he is working with Edmonton Economic Development Corporation and the University of Alberta on studies to determine the feasibility of localized transportation networks.
The big picture vision is for those local networks — located on the campuses of the University of Calgary, Red Deer College and U of A for instance — to grow into wider networks and eventually into a link between Edmonton and Calgary, with 20 or more stations en route. He envisions financing from private/public partnerships.
"The drum I keep beating on is that it's not good enough to have good technology. You need a technology that makes it possible to support self-financing business models."
He said the line between Calgary and Edmonton would achieve that goal, not only because industry could deliver goods to markets quicker, but because the line would create next-generation, transit-oriented communities wherever a Magline station is built.
"Sustainable, walkable communities that are active 24/7 and attract the growing creative class," he said.A creative class that would, in theory, have no trouble believing in the space-age notion of a Jetsons-like transportation system.
Original Article featured Edmonton Journal
Magnovate Technologies proposes to move people, freight and commodities, like oilsands bitumen, along an elevated track at speeds of up to 500 kilometres per hour in computer-controlled, driverless vehicles.
The trip from Calgary to Edmonton would take less than 45 minutes.
Making the leap of faith necessary to accept Corns' vision will take some people much longer.
"There are some people who write it off as science fiction, immediately. But science fiction is turning into science fact. When you mention ideas like this in Silicon Valley, people don't start humming The Jetsons," Corns said.
He said his small company — it employs a five-person executive team and six engineers in Canada, the U.S. and Australia — raised $2 million from a Silicon Valley venture capital firm to produce prototypes of its proprietary Magline vehicle and track, which were built in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The vehicle is powered by a linear motor and essentially floats about five centimetres above a track formed by connected, permanent magnets.
Corns said Magnovate's patented passive switching technology makes it possible for vehicles to pull off the main line and into a station, then resume the trip.
"It allows maglev to finally fulfill its promise. It allows complete networks of maglev to be built," Corns said.
Maglev systems already operating in China and Japan do not have that capability.
Corns' proposal also calls for a wider levitation gap that would reduce impact on the track and support structures, which could be manufactured out of less robust material than first-generation concrete, and would therefore be less expensive.
"This is potentially game-changing technology," said Alex Conradi, director of investment with the emerging markets branch of International and Intergovernmental Relations.
"Certainly, we've seen Mr. (Elon) Musk's Hyperloop in the press of late. Quite frankly, I think this one is closer to being real than his. But never say never."
Musk, the co-founder of electric vehicle maker Tesla, recently proposed a transportation system between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It shares Magnovate's use of a linear motor, but the Hyperloop vehicles would move on a cushion of air inside a sealed tube.
Conradi set up meetings in Bahrain between Corns and representatives of the Gulf Co-operative Council, which is comprised of Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman. Conradi said those countries are determined to upgrade transportation linkages to create a more unified market.
"There was particular interest from Saudi Arabia in Dan's technology. That being said, there was a recognition that he's early stage."
Corns said Magnovate has burned through the $2 million in seed capital and is seeking a total of $6 million from Sustainable Development Technology Canada, Transport Canada and the Alberta government's Enterprise and Advanced Education ministry. He said Transport Canada has recommended a $500,000 investment, which must now pass muster with Public Works.
"To get Transport Canada on board would be a feather in our cap. With our prototypes we've proven maglev can be practical and affordable," said Corns, who estimated that construction of each kilometre of two-way track would cost $10 million to $12 million, while the costs associated with most high-speed rail networks is at least 10 times higher.

Tales of the Night Reviews
August 23, 2018
Without doubt, Ocelot's Tales of the Night has a great deal of charm.
August 29, 2017
The film is a marvel, and everybody with any affection for animation is duty-bound to see it.
February 6, 2013
Six stunningly animated fairy tales with a few mild scares
Top Critic
November 21, 2012
It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it.
Top Critic
November 15, 2012
Six mostly engaging fairy tales are digitally rendered with silhouetted characters performing in front of vivid, colorful backgrounds.
November 8, 2012
The kaleidoscopic backgrounds offer a colorful counterpoint to the simple silhouettes that form the people, animals, and mythical beasts populating the six fables, each of which end with a ironic twist.
Top Critic
September 28, 2012
More likely to play well with older children, due to its split-up story line, Ocelot's creation is like nothing else they are likely to see animating the multiplex.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Top Critic
September 26, 2012
The narratives - involving princesses, sorcerers, dragons, talking animals - are familiar. But Mr. Ocelot invigorates them with lyricism ...
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
September 23, 2012
The recent cartoons of Michel Ocelot cleverly advance Lotte Reiniger's prototypical stop-motion technique into the digital age.
May 28, 2012
It should please sensitive, well-brought-up children and nostalgists.
May 25, 2012
It's sweet but earthbound.
May 25, 2012
Tales Of The Night may be computer-animated, but its style is antique.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Top Critic
May 25, 2012
It's charming enough and the soundtrack has obviously been put together with care.
Top Critic
May 24, 2012
The pick-and-mix approach is limiting, but there's no denying these are gorgeous amuse-bouches, likely to be devoured by older, more discerning children and dyed-in-the-wool stoners alike.
May 24, 2012
The six folk-like tales featuring dragons, witch doctors and a talking horse have a whimsical charm and are beautifully designed but - watched all at once - may leave younger children fidgeting.
Top Critic
May 24, 2012
A uniquely joyful experience from a true original.
Top Critic
May 22, 2012
While some of them do drag, older kids could well fall for these magical, timeless tales.
May 20, 2012
Michel Ocelot's ravishing animation and magical storytelling is a delight from start to finish.
February 3, 2012
October 19, 2011
Shot through with romance and glimpses of the kind of silly humour that made A Town Called Panic (2009) so popular, children and adults should be kept quite happy by this solid, intelligent family film.

Virginia "Pepper" Potts was Personal Assistant to Anthony Stark through out the first movie she is seen as a loyal friend and confidante of the billionaire. They playfully flirt but keep a professional boss/employee relationship until Tony returns from Afghanistan.
After his return from Afghanistan, things dramatically change between them as they both realize how much they need each other. Pepper is furious that Tony is willing to risk his life by becoming Iron Man but ultimately comes to terms with his new alter ego and reluctantly agrees to hack into Stark Industries' computer system to help him.
There she discovers that Stane has been supplying terrorists with Stark weaponry and hired the Ten Rings to kill Stark, but the group reneged on the deal upon discovering who the target was.
She later meets with Agent Coulson of "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division", a counter-terrorism agency, to inform him of Stane's activities. After Stane attacks Tony on the roof of Stark Industries he tells Pepper to blow up the reactor core, but she is reluctant to set it off as Tony is still on the roof, however she sets it off and Tony is still safe, but his reactor fails but the echo of Pepper yelling his name seems to bring him back.
In Iron man 2, Potts is promoted to Stark Industries' CEO while Tony is attempting to set his affairs in order due to his impending death due to the poisonous side-effects of the arc reactor's power source. After much tension due to the fact that he won't tell her what is happening to him, things come to a head at Tony's birthday party. He drunkenly admits that he loves her and proceeds to blow up his mansion in a fight with Rhodey.
After a failed attempt at reconciliation with Tony, Pepper attends the Stark Expo where she and Natasha Romanov expose Justin Hammer's crimes and his association with Whiplash. As Natasha is trying to hack into Rhodey's armor, Pepper learns the truth about Tony's condition. She is distraught but rises to the occasion by helping to evacuate the Expo and refuses to leave the site until everyone is safe and out of harm's way.
After Vanko's drones start to detonate, Tony saves Pepper from the exploding drones' remains. She quits as CEO, and they finally kiss.
When talking to Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man 2, Tony tells him that he and Pepper are in a stable-ish relationship and his life was back on track.
Pepper Potts is played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow asked Marvel to send her any comics that they would consider relevant to her understanding of the character, who she considered to be very smart, levelheaded, and grounded. She said she liked "the fact that there's a sexuality that's not blatant." Jon Favreau wanted Potts' and Stark's relationship to be reminiscent of a 1940s comedy, something which Paltrow considered to be "fun in a sexy, yet innocent way."
She is scheduled to appear again in Iron Man 3.

Indecent Proposal
1993, R, 117 min. Directed by Adrian Lyne. Starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Oliver Platt.
REVIEWED By Steve Davis, Fri., April 9, 1993
Money can't buy you love but it can get you a reasonable facsimile thereof. In Indecent Proposal, a billionaire slumming in Las Vegas tests this platitude by offering a happily married but financially strapped couple $1 million in exchange for one night with the missus. Convinced their marriage can withstand the consummation of this deal, the couple agrees, with predictable results ensuing: he goes crazy with jealousy, she cries a lot, and they eventually split up. This is, in a 25-words-or-less format, the plot of Indecent Proposal, a movie as thin as the slick veneer with which director Lyne covers it. Lyne has the stylized talent of a soft-core pornographer; he choreographs his movies like languorous sex scenes. (Enough with the pulsating soundtracks and soft-focus photography already...) Like fellow director-decorators Tony Scott and Joel Schumacher, he's seemingly obsessed with what a scene looks like at the expense of how it plays. Moreover, he pays inordinate attention to inanimate things --- in Indecent Proposal, tumbling dice and a ball bouncing on a spinning roulette wheel have lives of their own. (It must be a vestige of his television commercial background.) Amy Holden Jones' featherweight screenplay nicely complements Lyne's directorial style: both seem content to just glide across the surface. And movie buffs will notice that the script blatantly steals a monologue from Citizen Kane as it attempts to explain the billionaire's obsessive attraction for a woman who unwittingly caught his eye. As the man with the money, Redford is strangely ideal. His weathered face suggests Dorian Gray, a man whose smooth demeanor belies the ruthless thing necessary to become a billionaire in today's world. His tenacious, idealized quest for love brings to mind Jay Gatsby, a man who wields his wallet like a weapon. Although it's questionable whether Redford appreciated the dark implications of his role -- he's infamous for just wanting to play nice guy roles -- he's the surprisingly best thing in a movie in which character and everything else only go skin deep.

Recently, an unwanted dog that was about to be euthanized at a shelter after being hit by a car, was rescued by a volunteer from the Little Shelter in Huntington, New York. The dog, Foxy, was then rehabilitated at the shelter and is now a pet hero after saving her new owner's life.
Foxy and owner, Joan Maguire (seated), pictured with representatives from Fort Dodge Animal Health and Little Shelter.
"Foxy, who is a seven-year-old pit bull mix, is a true testament to the fact that pit bulls are not bad dogs," says Jodi Record, office manager of the Little Shelter. "Foxy was rescued by a volunteer who had seen her at a kill- shelter. She was very sweet, but had been hit by a car and suffered a broken leg. She was going to be euthanized because the town's finances did not allow for the extensive surgery that Foxy would need."
After three surgeries that led to finally putting a steel plate in her leg, Foxy stayed at the Little Shelter for a year and three months. They didn't think she would ever be adopted, due to her appearance as an older dog, her need for daily supplements for her leg and because she is part pit bull. But, finally in late 2002, Foxy's angel arrived at the Little Shelter in the form of Joan Maguire. It was a perfect match and Foxy was taken to her new home. Foxy then repaid the favor 1,000 times over.
On January 17th, a freezing winter day, Maguire, who is 82 years old, took Foxy for a walk. Maguire's front steps were icy. She slipped and fell to the ground and lay there, unable to move. Maguire desperately tried to get attention using her flashlight, but had no luck. But the dog, sensing Maguire's distress, immediately helped. Foxy laid on top of Maguire, using body heat to keep her warm, and barked constantly for an exhausting hour and a half to get help for her master. The next-door neighbors were going to bed but heard Foxy's barking and decided to investigate. They found Maguire on the ground with her loyal friend at her side. Maguire was taken to the hospital for surgery for a broken hip from the fall. If not for Foxy's instincts, Maguire would not have survived the cold. Foxy has proven the old saying that a rescued pet never forgets the one who saves its life.
On June 10, 2003, Foxy received the ProHeart® Hero Award from Fort Dodge Animal Health for her heroic act of loyalty and dedication. The award was presented to Foxy at Little Shelter by Dieter Keylon, Northeast Regional Manager for Fort Dodge Animal Health.
As a recipient of the ProHeart Hero Award, Foxy will receive a Certificate of Recognition, a ProHeart Hero Medallion, a cash donation of $1,500 and complimentary veterinary care up to $750 for one year.
Fort Dodge Animal Health established the ProHeart® Hero Award program to recognize and honor canine companions that demonstrate heroism through acts of courage. Foxy will be the fourth canine hero to receive the ProHeart® Hero Award. The first Award was presented to the New York Police Department Canine Unit in January 2002 for their work at the World Trade Center disaster site. In June 2002, Kaiser, a male German shepherd received the Award for saving his family from a fire that nearly destroyed their home. And, in July 2002, Bullet, a male Golden retriever received the ProHeart® Hero Award for helping save his family's baby from near death by alerting the parents that the baby had stopped breathing.

Yucatecan Painter to Exhibit Chichen Itza Canvas in New York
September 29th, 2010 by ejalbright
"Aventuras en Chichén y Uxmal, homenaje a Catherwood" by Malena Peon.
Malena Peon is a painter from Merida who next month will exhibit her latest Yucatan-themed canvas, "Aventuras en Chichén Itzá 2012," in a special exhibition, "The United States Artists Biennial Part Two," at the Broadway Gallery in New York City.
Peon is one of several internationally-exhibited artists who will be showing during the exhibition, which will run from Oct. 1 to 15. The gallery is at 473 Broadway in Manhattan, between Broome and Grande streets.
The painting is a mixed media, using Chinese ink, oil, pastel and acrylics. "It is done on canvas with the background in warm colors, predominantly red, symbolizing our royalty and the predominant colors in the fall in New York," the artist told the Diario de Yucatan.
The painting, according to Peon, recreates an event involving her ancestor, don Simon Peon, who met the artist Frederick Catherwood in New York 170 years ago and inspired he and writer John Lloyd Stephens to come to Yucatan to see the Maya ruins, especially Chichen Itza. Their journey resulted in two groundbreaking books, Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan (1841) and Incidents of Travel in Yucatan (1841) which brought the world's attention to the ruins of the Maya civilization.
This is not the first time Peon the artist has used Chichen Itza as a subject. The Mexican embassy in Vienna exhibits one of her earlier works, "Chichén Itzá Maravilla del mundo." On the day in 2007 when Chichen Itza was named one of the new Wonders of the World, the artist presented a painting of Chichen at the tourist center of the archaeological zone. Another serires of paintings, "Chichen in the Four Seasons," hangs in the governors office of the Yucatan convention center.

A decision by Wal-Mart to stop selling guns in their Hanover, Pennsylvania-area stores has area gun shop owners questioning the retailer`s reason. The company, according to spokesman Kory Lundberg, decided in late 2005 to remove firearms from select locations throughout the United States based on the demand in local markets. Local gun retailers, however, said the demand is here.

Also, which of these countries is more open to Asian dudes? Ive been fine dating women in the USA if that matters.....so basically, which country has lots of blondes who are more receptive to asian dudes that USA?
thanks guys
Scandinavia is a joke.most of them are brown haired and their blodne is dark blond too.same in holland but it turns yellow blonde in sunlight.
listen man,there is NO place with mostly or a significant amount of light yellow blondes ANYWHERE on earth.period.yellow blonde hair is more rare than Redhair.maybe finland.I think thats the ONLY legit''light blonde''country.if you target young orphan girls or Jailbaits,youc an mold her to be a good woman.if you target 18+ chicks youll be their 40th cock.
Germany only has some dark blondes in schleswig holstein.most germans are brunettes.
Asian dudes?dude Ive only seen asian dudes here with the hottest blondes even the Black/Arab players dont get.they all had that K-pop swag and dress sence and were goodlooking.hit the gym and get that glowing skin and youre set.
all this anti asian male hatred I dont see here in europe.I think its an american phenemnon.

Proper Sleep Is Important
In last two weeks my schedule was tight. Cause before going on vacation I had to finish up my work. So I took extra hours to complete it, after office I worked from home. So more than 7-8 hours I was working on laptop. Yeah, finally I completed my work. But since last couple of days I am facing eye problems. My family doctor consulted me & said this is because of busy & hectic schedule. This happens rarely.
Oh my god, what to do next ? But here are few thing I came to know regarding health & specially eye care. I suggest you the same ways to make you feel relaxed.
1. When you work on computer, have a little break. Keep your eyes away from computer window & look out green trees or simply colored flowers. If you do not have green sight nearby then have a green plant or flower plant at your work place.
2. In break, sprinkle cold water on eyes. This will make you feel cool & calm.
3. For 4-5 mins close your eyes and sit doing nothing. This is the good way of little rest.
4. If you face the problem of Dark Circles suddenly, then here is the thing you can do to reduce it.Crush the cucumber & mix it with rose water. Apply it on around the eyes. Remove it after 5-10 mins. This prevents the dark circle around eye.
5. Have a little eye exercise in this way – Close your eyes & cover it with your hands making cup of hands on eyes. Now open-close your eyes for a minute.
6. Eat Daily a Carrot, this makes eyesight powerful.
7. Walk on Green Grass without shoes/sandals etc. This improves eyesight.
8. Improper sleep makes you feel stress . Because of which you will not able to concentrate on work. Have a proper sleep of 7-8 Hours.
9.If you are unable to sleep, then you can listen soft music which makes you feel sleepy.
10.To make your whole week fresh & stress free. Have a Yoga or Meditation at the weekend.This helps you to feel relaxed & stress free.

Before I start, I know that this is a subject that can be tricky. Striking is a personal decision and I respect those who make the decision either to strike or not strike. I will be on strike on Wednesday. I will be standing at a picket line and going to a rally – but I will not, and never will criticise any of my colleagues who take a different decision to me and will not engage in name-calling.
For me, I strike reluctantly and with a heavy heart. I became a social worker because I wanted to work with people and use the skills I can muster to advocate for the people I work with in the 'systems' that all too often conspire against them. I don't want to leave my work behind and down sticks. I enjoy my work and in times such as these when our team is pushed in ways we have never been before due to capacity issues and understaffing, it has been a particularly difficult pill to swallow.
Yes, I am a frontline practitioner. Yes, service users will notice that I am out of the office for a day and not contactable. Will my colleagues deal with emergencies? Yes. That makes me feel worse not better. The union do 'exempt' people in the essential roles – we have some AMHPs rota'ed to work through the strike and safeguarding work will continue with duty workers – but ultimately I feel the right to strike is a strong one and if I don't advocate for myself, how can I, in all honesty, advocate for others effectively.
Should Social Workers go on strike? Only if absolutely necessary.
My work is important to me but so is the communal responsibility as a member of a trade union (I am a long term member of Unison) . I expect support from my trade union and so I feel it as a duty to provide them with the support through this strike.
The issue of pensions is to me only one of the ways this government has shifted responsibility from the private sector to the public sector and the attempts to rip apart public sector employees has been and is callous and deliberate in this government's 'divide and rule' strategy to paint public sector as 'bad' and 'enterprise' as 'good'.
But it was poor regulation of financial services that got us here and a world financial crash – it was not the care workers, nurses, teachers and yes, social workers that brought us to this point.
Union laws are strict and this strike is about pensions – namely so-called 'non affordability' of them but internally, I am striking about so many other things that I see about this government and the way they are spending their toxic policies to stigmatise and marginalise.
As for my pension, I contribute and it is not something I get 'for free'. It may be better than some pensions in the private sector but that doesn't mean it isn't something that we entered service expecting. As it is, I don't expect to retire – obviously not at 60 or 65 or 70 for that matter.
When I strike, when I rally and when I march, it isn't for me alone but it is for the people I work with and for who have been marginalised, stigmatised and isolated by this government and her toxic policies.
I don't want to strike and take no pleasure in it but I feel it is my responsibility to do so. For myself, for my union, for the users of my service and for my country.
Incidently, I've had a great deal of support from service users I work with but there will be contingencies in place for emergencies. Of course I'll worry and I'll stress but one of the few tools we have is the withdrawal of labour as an indication of discontent. And I am discontent. So I will strike.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City teacher who was suspended for allowing students to use sexually explicit language in a class on HIV/AIDS has settled her claim against the city for $45,000.
In May, a federal judge had ruled that Faith Kramer was wrongfully suspended and said her lawsuit against the Department of Education could proceed.
The city said Monday that it settled the case to avoid costly litigation.
Neither Kramer nor her lawyer could be reached for comment.
Kramer was suspended for eight months in 2008. She was a tenured teacher at I.S. 72 in Staten Island.
The city had argued that the slang terms Kramer allowed in her HIV/AIDS class were inappropriate for the classroom.

The Golden Poodle award goes to cats.
Although dogs have worked side by side with humans for centuries to build a civilization, cats have come into our lives very much on their own terms.
See also The Natural Superiority of Cats
The Lizard Brain award goes to any car maker who isn't Subaru.
While other commercials feature driving fast cars that we are warned not to attempt to drive, the logic of good gas mileage, misguided attempts at humor, or blatant sex, Subaru has increased its market share with a campaign featuring love, safety, family and cute dogs.
The Neanderthal award goes to anyone who would abandon on the streets a 3-week-old Chihuahua and a pink dyed Chihuahua puppy.
Fortunately for every Neanderthal who would do this, hundreds of caring humans are willing to come to their aid.

I found the course very helpful in correcting some uncertainties and mistakes I had in playing sus and tension chords. The course also motivated me to research and discover suitable usage of chords in different styles of music. Instead of sticking to inversions that I am used to, I explored further to create smoother voicings between chords. The feedback given by the course instructor was very constructive and helpful, particularly in the discussion forums.120 views

I'm male 17 and i'm 5,5 or 156 is that too short or it's normal a!
Question: I'm male 17 and i'm 5,5 or 156 is that too short or it's normal and do i have any chance to reach 5,7 or 173cm?
If your 5 ft 5 you would be 165 cm man. I'm about 173 cm and i wish i was more taler like 183 but no hope for me as i am 19 years old. Edit When i was your age i was about 168 cm and after 1 yr i grew to 173 cm. So yeh i reckon you wld get few inches more. Also how tall are your parents?
Anything is possible - but no guarantee's.
Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - or later.
More growth could be headed your way - nobody knows for sure.
You just need to be patient - and wait to see what all develops.
You'll probably stop growing somewhere around now-21. This means you might not reach 5'7 normally, however there are a couple different steroids you could get with a prescription that could help you grow more.

The Truth For Gold team was super thrilled to cover The Los Angeles Green Festival! The Expo was launched 15 years ago by Green America & Global Exchange and takes place in many other cities including New York, DC, San Francisco and Portland. The green movement continues to gain traction in the city with more and more people joining the expo to take part in this important cause. Guests include celebrities, notable speakers, business owners, media representatives, environmental advocates and community members who all share the important commitment of making Los Angeles more sustainable.
TFG was honored to interview the President, Dr. Corinna Basler who brings years of experience in international business strategy, marketing, branding, communications and CSR to organizing this impressive expo. She has worked in Europe, Asia and the US as well as traveling to nearly one hundred countries and holds a Ph.D in Business Science. Dr. Corinna is deeply passionate about animals rights just like Kiernan Kit. Both enjoyed playing with our feathered and four legged friends in the animal farm sponsored by Have a Heart Animal Rescue Foundation.
Kiernan chats with Alex Hoffman from Green Gorilla about their Hemp & Olive 100% Organic CBD Oil with zero THC meaning there are no psychotropic effects. Dr. Cherilyn Lee of "Nu Wellness TV with Dr. Lee" & Lee's PureAir Mask, joined us in endorsing this great product and shared her personal experience having nine tumors and cysts on her thyroid actually shrinking and almost have disappeared now due to injesting CBD oil.
Dr. Lee says, "It's great to take when you do not want to feel sedated, need to go to work or be drug tested." There are no risks and it is good for humans and pets. Not only is Dr. Lee a leading expert in the field of health, nutrition and well-being, she is one of our highly regarded TFG Golden Angels.
Abigail Steinberg who wrote the book, "Recipe For Success" teaches us how to take a product from conception all the way to market. Her experience launching Zevia earned her a whopping $20 million dollars. Her favorite product at the expo is Lakanto Monk fruit sweetener because of it's non-GMO, 0 calories & 0 glycemic effect making it safe for diabetics and it tastes great. "It has all of the benefits without the guilt". It comes as an added sweetener, smoothie powder and in even in chocolate with almond chips & cacao nips. Lakanto's mission is to get people off of sugar and its harmful effects on the body. Lakanto products are one of the highest selling items on Amazon.
We loved roaming from booth to booth discovering organic vegan foods at Kelly's Croutons and Tastathon with Ed and Randy Kugler. Kiernan blind tested and tried to guess the various flavors of Beanfield's bean and rice chips including nacho, sea salt, BBQ and pico de gallo. After years of not being able to eat jelly beans because the gelatin is boiled up pig and calve hooves, she was able to enjoy nibbling on vegan jelly beans from Surf Sweets.
After tasting foods that were not only delicious but also nutritious, we was delighted to find a an open yoga class. For the first time ever the LA Expo featured two indoor yoga pavilions with Create Yoga, The Xanadu Life, and Radhanath Swami. Before class began, I found a cute new outfit to wear with vibrant colors resembling a peacock from the Om Collection clothing made of recycled polyester and Tree bark. She also had fun trying on various crystal pieces of jewelry from Chablis which are good for natural healing.
Also in attendance was Taryn Hipwell from Beyond the Label who participated at the Eco fashion show earlier in the week at the Expert Dojo with Brian MacMahon, Chief Community Officer who also had a major presence at the Green Fest. Beyond the Label takes a secondhand T-shirt to recycle for a new T-shirt when you leave. Tarin partners with I Collect, who make sure the textiles go to a good place.
We also got to interview Reverend Leon Campbell from the Agape Spiritual Center who is collaborating with Judy Julin from Inspired Parenting to host the Family Fun Pavilion. The Pavilion was filled with activities for the entire family to learn about new education initiatives. In the kids learning center, we also spoke with Lucy Hake founder of International Little Artist the Voice of Unheard Children. Their mission is global communication by going back to the roots of the homo sapiens using art as universal language to bridge nations and children. They believe Art and music are communication
that skip politics, religion and borders.
It was also a pleasure getting to know the LA Regional Director of Green Fes, Pascale Coupal-Sikes. She received her B.A. at UCSD in Psychology and Environmental Studies, is fluent in Spanish and studied permaculture in Costa Rica.
Pascale is dedicated to ensuring the continued success of The Green Festival annually!!

Hello, everyone!
I want to start by saying what an honor and a thrill to be in Sochi, it's a truly amazing experience. We flew in from Atlanta on Sunday and arrived Monday. The NHL did a great job of setting things up for us and our families. It was a different experience sharing a plane with all different players playing for their respective countries but it was great.
When we landed in Sochi we were greeted by some U.S. staff who helped us get organized. After that we took a bus to head over to the Olympic Village. Once we were there we went through a process of getting our accreditations so we could access everything in the village.
Once all that was taken care of I headed up to my room to get settled. The rooms are very nice, pretty simple with nice wood floors, two beds, and a TV that has coverage of most of the events going on during the Olympics. My roommate is Joe Pavelski, normally a rival of mine but a great guy and a fun roommate.
We've had a few practices so far to prepare for our first game. It's a bit of an adjustment getting used to the bigger ice surface but the practices have been great. There are so many great players and even just getting to practice with them is a thrill.
Time to rest up for our big game tomorrow against Slovakia.
I will write more later!
Talk to you soon,
Note: Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler, a member of the U.S. Olympic hockey team, will be blogging about his experience throughout the Games for The Times.


text: Relationships can be rewarding and fulfilling, but they can also be testy and challenging. When your heart is involved, your deepest needs tend to come to the surface. When tensions rise and feelings get hurt in your relationship, you may wonder if God is sending you warning. You also may be wondering if the enemy is attacking your relationship. The Bible is clear about the spiritual battle around us. Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12). When you feel like you've been living right for God in your relationship, but something continues to get in the way, you may ask yourself is this God's way of letting you know that you shouldn't be in that relationship, or if it's the devil trying to sabotage your relationship. No matter what forces are at play in your relationship, it's important that you turn to God and ask Him to bless and guide you concerning your relationship. So how can you pray for your relationships? Here are six prayers to bless your relationship.

Review-I will admit on record that I am a huge Eric Roberts fan. He is one of those talents that just eithers adds another layer of cheese to a film or really gives a great performance where people start all that comeback talk. But, every so often we gets film like Silver Case that are so bad, that you know Eric only did it for the payday, or to say he has a job. Silver Case is a film that suffers from an identity crisis and also a lack of heart, among many other things. The film centers on two characters one being Eric's role as the Senator who is this powerful producer and his competition and arch rival a man known as the Master. The Senator has this plan to try and stop the Master, and it involves this silver case. As you can guess by the title of the film this case becomes a bigger part of the film when it goes missing and sets off a series of events that go with a case that goes missing or a plan that goes to hell. A film like this is an example of when a written idea should stay that. This film seems to tread on water we are very familiar with; it plays out like many other films we have seen many times in our life. The storyline is pathetic and should have been re-thought; the acting is pedestrian at best. It is like they were not even trying to be entertaining.
The film does have a few decent moments here and there but as a whole this film should be skipped. This film is like a kitchen of so many cooks that not one of them really knows the first thing about cooking. It is like they were basically trying to act their way out of each scene and over their heads in the next sequence. To be told this film is reminiscent of Tarantino is pure and plain a lie. Even his worst films were a million times better than this one, and that says a lot. This film must have let the stars improvise more than read off the page, and it shows if that was the case.

Ikea has announced its intention to become the world's number one retailer for residential solar power.
The Swedish furniture giant has plans to roll out its solar power offering to nine countries in 2016/17, including three in Europe: the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK.
The company has already experienced success in trialling its ranges in these locations, reporting that customers reacted well to the simplicity and transparency of the program.
"Ikea's ambition is to help and inspire their customers to live a more sustainable life at home and the residential solar program is one step on the way to reach that ambition," said Hakan Nordkvist, Head of Sustainability Innovation at Ikea. "Last year there were 770m visits to Ikea stores worldwide and the company sees that as a great platform to fulfil our ambition and for people to be able to live a more sustainable life at home."
Indeed, Ikea has enjoyed more success than most in expanding its business internationally. It has several successful outlets in China, a country that has become infamous for the levels of pollution in its major cities.
"Ikea performed a pilot program in the UK, the Netherlands and Switzerland to understand if residential solar would fit naturally into the minds of Ikea customers," Nordkvist continued. "The three countries were selected based on many criteria, among others the difference in regulatory environment and maturity of their solar market."
Ikea will reportedly be working with different suppliers and installers in local markets in an attempt to make the solar power offerings as bespoke as possible. The company has also affirmed that it will not be selling self-branded modules, mounting systems or inverters.
"To be able to deploy residential solar in a big scale we need to have a very simple and transparent purchase process for the customer and the offer needs to be very affordable, this is what our customers normally get when they visit Ikea and this is what we will continue to have, including the residential solar offer."

That's a shame.
Hanks gives a solid performance in the title role. He lets us see the man behind the hero - his doubts and fears before, during and after he landed a jumbo jet in the Hudson River.
Eastwood takes what amounts to about three minutes of actual time and makes a movie that is both moving and entertaining.
The rescue scene alone is worth the price of admission.
Even thought the Academy overlooked Sully, you shouldn't. It's a classic story of a man taking on nature and "the man." You really should give it a look.
Sully is available on Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Combo Pack. The Ultra HD Blu-ray features an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the film in 4K with HDR and a Blu-ray disc with the film in hi-definition. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features the film in hi-definition on Blu-ray; and the 2-disc Special Edition DVD features the film in standard definition. All Blu-ray products include a digital version of the movie in Digital HD with UltraViolet.* Fans can also own Sully via purchase from digital retailers.

(Using this program in a manner inconsistent with common sense may get you frozen. The easiest and best way to not be iced is to not play Neopets.)
Getting started:
The first thing to do when using Valorous' Suite is to download it. The download link is found here on the first page in the OP.
Make sure you meet the requirements that are specified right underneath the download link.
The download link takes you to the dropbox website, where you download it, run the .exe, etc. It will self-extract to the location you downloaded it to.
Click on the folder and click the .exe file inside this. This will start the program, which begins with auto updating the suite.
Auto Login:
make a .txt file (notepad) and type in it:
and save it as account_info.txt in the same directory as the .exe.
Important information:
- The Suite as-is is not compatible with Mac
- Hold shift while it's checking for updates to force an update.
- You're not allowed to use the Restock List generator to share lists with non-Advanced members. It's an Advanced-only function.
- Valorous doesn't actually play Neopets.
- Most of this information is pulled directly from the 40+ page thread
- There are directions on how to use virtually everything in the Suite. Hover over things and it tells you how to use it.
On to the good stuff.
Across the top, you see 5 options: Settings, Forum, Donate, Guide, and Price Check.
Underneath these options are the programs. (More on programs further down)
Underneath the programs area is the area that tells you what's going on. When you start the Suite, this area will tell you how many prices and unbuyables it's retrieved. It is downloading prices from the central database to use for any bots that require the shop wizard. When you start a program, it tells you what it's buying or retrieved or what it's doing with you inventory, depending on what programs you have selected.
Using the Programs
Creating Lists
Some of the programs in this suite you HAVE to have a list for and others are just more efficient with a list.
How to Make a List
The Main tab is how you use all these programs. You go through the program tabs first and make sure the settings are where you want them and your lists are formatted and loaded. Then, you use the drop down menu to select the programs you want to run. annnnd click start! To remove programs from the list, click the blank cell beside the program and press the delete key.
User Messages
Use the arrow keys to navigate through messages and Del to delete them.
Auction Sniper
"It should only stop when the amount of searches has been exceeded. It displays when it is running, which bot is running, the sleep times, what it is bidding on and what it won and at what cost for me and everyone that tests internally." --Valorous
- The list format for the Auction Sniper is name|price. You make the | by pressing sift+\
- Anything under the price will be bought as long as the price stays under that amount.
- It won't bid on any item that has multiple items for the same name. (map pieces)
- If you are getting logged out while sniping, this appears to be caused by having more than one page of neomail in your inbox. So delete your neomails and start over
Using semi-automatic Auction Sniping
Kad Feeder
It waits until a kad is hungry, uses the items in your inventory to feed them and if you don't have anything in your inventory, buys them with a max cost specified and feeds them then displays a rendered HTML result for your pleasure.
It attempts to feed all hungry kads in the price range simultaneously to maximize the chances of being successful. This means that sometimes it will buy things in anticipation of feeding a kad without actually feeding one. This is normal.
Valorous's Kad Settings:
Feed for how many seconds? 3600
Maximum cost per item: 15000
Time between searchs? 5000, 15000
Shop AutoPricer
It sets the price based off of the current market average multiplied by your inflation ratio. Enter your inflation ratio at the top.
The AAA Autobuyer attempts to buy everything on your list in the order it was loaded simultaneously to ensure maximum chances of buying an item.
- You MUST have a list to use the Attic aber.
- The list must have the specific item name on it.
- Advanced Members and higher may not use the Item Database list maker thingy to distribute lists
- I would suggest having your treasures moved to the SDB right after purchase to avoid bad things happening to them
- Valorous's buy times range from 0.3s to 0.8s, and everything is automatic and adjusted by your average latency to the server. (I don't personally regularly AAA ab and can't give you info beyond that. This thread has a lot of AAA info tucked in it, in addition to pointing out the members who can help you with AAA buying.)
User Shop AutoBuyer
- A list is required for the USAB in the Name|MaxPrice|Count format, where count is the number you want bought
- After you run this a few times, you will want to make sure your RequestedCount (how many you want) is higher than your TimesBought (how many you have bought).
- Isa1991 has a Packrat List in Valorous' thread (The Packrat List WILL get you shop wizard banned, so plan to not need the wizard for a bit.)
- To clear a times bought column without deleting the entry, click in the Times Bought cell and press 0; to clear multiple rows, select the rows and press the 'Clear Times Bought' button
- To select multiple rows in succession, highlight the first row, hold shift, and highlight the last row in the series
- To select multiple rows NOT in succession, hold ctrl while clicking the rows you want selected
- Pressing the Delete key will remove the selected rows from your list
- Pressing ctrl+A and then Delete will remove the entire list (you can also click the uppermost lefthand cell to select all)
User Shop AutoBuyer Book Reader/Stamp Album
- You MUST have a list
- The list MUST only contain one category of thing at a time. (ie all books or all stamps.)
- It can't check to see if you have non-book or non-stamp items (which means it may try to read a sword to your pet, which may increase the odds of you getting iced)
- To activate this feature, load the list and select the applicable option override in the suite (read or stamp)
- There is a buyable list for stamps here and another one here (Thanks cuttingedge and ritzwin)
Money Tree Grabber & Rubbish Dump Grabber
- If you aren't getting anything, you can increase the time the Grabber is running or try again at a different time. The Grabber takes LOTS of patience
- You can only grab 10 things per day between the Money Tree and the Rubbish Dump
- The MTG and RDG are based off a minimum value determined by the databases
Shapeshifter Solver
- Only increase the runtime multiplier if you have a slow computer
Sleep Bot
- If you need this explained, you shouldn't be here. Go play legit.
Edna Quest
- This one is also self-explanatory
- Speculation suggests that the avvie is gained when Edna asks for 3+ items that involve a color
Kitchen Quest
- Same set up as Edna
Auto Trainer
- It will do all your pets and ignore the ones that can't be trained for whatever reason.
- If you choose to get the pets list, you must enable ones you wish to train. If you do not, it reverts to the old method (which is training all of them)
- Pets level 1-40 are trained at the Swashbuckling Academy
- Pets level 40-250 are trained at Mystery Island Training School
- You can only train stats up to 3x your pet's level.
Daily Automator
Just check the boxes you want to run and you're good to go! The items you win go where you tell them to. The results of your dailies show up on the Main Page in the User Messages section. Use the arrow keys to navigate through messages and Del to delete them.

Summer Jewelry Trends: Polymer Clay & Seashells
Summer breezes, salt water, sand, & Seashells! One of my favorite hobbies is collecting unusual
shells from our gorgeous Florida beaches. I love incorporating my finds into my polymer clay
The most difficult shells to find are the orange scallop shells, the tinier the better. Nature creates such stunning colors. The background of this photo was taken on Sarasota Bay.
Please stop by and visit my Etsy Shop: Beadazzle Me
to see these pieces and more Seashell Jewelry.

I'm 17 now and I've a girl friend and she's my best and only friend. I don't know what feelings she has for me, but, I think, she'd be perfect partner for me. We can't talk face to face now, but I can still talk to her on phone and chat with her. I don't know what do. If, she accepts when I propose her, it would be well and good. I fear of losing her friendship too. I just don't want to lose her. I don't know what to do. How shall I learn about the feelings she has for me. You guys are experienced in life and help me, please. I'm sure, that I won't get any support from my parents as she is of different caste. I am depending on you. Please help me.
Responses (1)
Become friends with her friends. That way you can hear what they hear about her feelings for you without you having to ask. This will also help her feel more safe around you seeing as her friends would likely approve of you, and would make it easier for her decide to say yes.
The problem in this step is, she's an introvert like me and has very less friends. She never shares everything with her other friends, than with me. She shares everything with me and I share everything with her. She shares all her very personal things with me, like about "those" days. She has very less friends. I bet, she wouldn't have told about this to anyone of them. Also, I'm damn sure that she is not in any relationship.

Staff at Ford Genk after having obtained the message that the plant will probably be closed. Through the subsequent decade there was a striking transformation. The despair of 1921 had far-reaching effects on the American automotive business. GM was plunged into one other financial crisis. Alfred P. Sloan grew to become president of the corporation in 1923 and raised it to its unchallenged first place within the business. Among other steps, he gave GM a employees-and-line organization with autonomous manufacturing divisions, which facilitated administration of a large corporate structure and have become the mannequin for different major automotive combos. Henry Ford also went through a disaster because the 1921 crash caught him involved in the construction of a big new plant (River Rouge) and in the process of shopping for out his stockholders. Ford weathered the storm (although a lot of his sellers, unable to sell automobiles and not permitted to return them, went out of business), however the Ford Motor Firm had reached its crest.
At Le Mans this month, amped-up hybrid prototype racecars from Audi and Toyota face a revamped Porsche 919 hybrid, whereas Ford hopes to recapture glory with its new GT-R. The thicker the truck bed coating, the superior. A gallon is not ample to cover the standard mattress. Get at least a further quart and an extra gallon is even greater. A thicker coat lasts longer and looks superior too.
I do know some outdated timers who can get great results from their historical nearly historic wheel aligner. The same guys can normally restore it themselves as well. There are some exceptionally talented older mechanics out there nonetheless, and it has been an honour to know a lot of them via promoting them hoists, wheel aligners, brake lathes, injector cleaners, gasoline conversion tools, engine lifters, hydraulic presses, excessive pressure cleaners and a whole lot of items that go right into a workshop including hand instruments and air compressors, air instruments, cutters paint booths and so on. I had 2500 mechanical workshop owners on my buyer list at one time.
MM: This began in early Nineteen Nineties with the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton. What we have now now on the streets aren't police, these are paramilitary troops. You go to Central America and you might be sure to search out the identical factor. I am old enough to see a very horrifying transition in the US where the militarization of the police is a movement by the owners of this country, to suppress reasonable, rational dissent that they the protestors need jobs, housing. It's actually breathtaking to me that now we have paramilitary troops on the streets. Only last yr the Pentagon donated greater than $four hundred million of military-grade equipment to the police departments in the US. That is one 12 months alone. They are not educated to use this material, they have no idea what they're doing with it, and we should not have it in the streets of Ferguson and not in the streets of Central America both. This is a clear violent state suppression of dissent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the climate of Washington?
Washington's geography, especially the Cascade Mountain range, produces two vastly different climates in eastern and western Washington. Western Washington is often greatly influenced by the ocean, and is much wetter and milder than Eastern Washington. Additional stark differences are produced by the rain shadow effect of the Olympic Mountain range, so that for example Quinault has an annual average precipitation of 137" but in Sequim, only 56 miles away as the crow flies, the annual average precipitation is 16". For much more detailed information view the Climates of the States and Climate of Washington NarrativeWhat is the average annual temperature and amount precipitation for Washington?
A true statewide average requires accounting for the variation of temperature and precipitation in mountainous and other uninstrumented areas using statistical techniques, as is done with the PRISM dataset from Oregon State University:
Related Links:
There are a variety of sources online to obtain climate data for various purposes, most of which are difficult to navigate. With the help of our "Climate Map Inventory" you can select a station and get instructions on finding climate data from that station. Click here to access the Climate Map Inventory. Be sure to also check out our Climate Data section for additional information and graphics.Where can I find drought related information for Washington?
The OWSC, and other local and state agencies coordinate our efforts in accessing Washington's current and future state of drought with the Washington Department of Ecology. For the most up-to-date information go to the WA Dept. of Ecology Water Supply Information website or UW Hydrologic Monitoring & Prediction System
For additional information go to:
Climate is what you expect.
The world is unquestionably warming - the more difficult question to answer is whether human activity (chiefly the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas) is responsible. Dozens of scientific studies have demonstrated that the increase in globally averaged temperature since about 1950 cannot be explained as a natural cycle or the result of changes in solar output or cosmic rays or volcanoes, but can be explained as a result of rising greenhouse gases. For detailed answers see realclimate.org. On smaller scales like eastern or western Washington, though, it is not yet possible to show conclusively that the observed warming is a result of human activity, though it is unlikely natural causes can explain all of the observed warming.What are the effects of climate change on Washington state?
For a comprehensive look at climate change affecting Washington and the wider Pacific Northwest, view the Climate Impacts Group special reports and the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute latest assessment report.What constitutes a 100-year storm?
A 100-year storm means that there is a 1% probability that the amount of precipitation that falls during a specified length of time, will be equaled or exceeded at a location for any given year. A 100-year storm on one day does nothing to change your chances of seeing the same amount of rainfall from a similar storm on another day (in the same year). Similarly, a 10-year storm has a 10% probability of occurring. To find the amount of precipitation that constitutes a 5, 10, 50 or 100 year storm view: Isopluvial Maps of Washington
Related Links:I want to retire in Sequim - is it true that it's the driest place in western Washington?
The average annual precipitation in Sequim and the surrounding area in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains (Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Whidbey and San Juan Islands) is lower than anywhere else in western Washington and in fact is lower than Sacramento, California! However, its location on the strait of Juan de Fuca ensures that summertime maximum temperatures rarely exceed 80 degrees and dew points are relatively high, so it does not feel dry the way Sacramento and other locations in the Southwest do. That's why houses in Sequim can grow moss on the roof (see photo 1, photo 2).
