My Profile
Kierra "Kiki" Sheard
Contemporary gospel singer Kierra "KiKi" Sheard was born into the genre. As the daughter of Karen Clark-Sheard, founding member of the Clark Sisters, and granddaughter of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, one of gospel's most influential and celebrated figures, "KiKi" spent her formative years in Detroit surrounded by family, faith, and music. She sang in the choir as a young girl in the church where her father, Rev. J. Drew Sheard, preached, and at the age of nine appeared on the hit single "The Safest Place," a duet with her mother from the successful Finally Karen record. At the age of 17 she released her debut album, I Owe You, combining the worlds of gospel, hip-hop, and soul into a contemporary sound that's both reverent and forward-thinking. It was followed in 2006 by This Is Me. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Myths and legends
Hidden treasure, heroic knights and horrid ghouls
England's favourite stories are the stuff of legend. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, Camelot and Merlin, Dick Turpin, St George the dragon slayer, and many more. Were they real?

St. John's University has cut its campus carbon dioxide emissions by 13,498 metric tons over the past three years, equivalent to the amount of gas released by 2,747 vehicles during the same time period. This achievement — which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noted in its most recent assessment report — stems from the many innovative energy conservation and recycling initiatives the University has introduced since 2009. These measures were taken as a result of St. John's commitment to become a higher education PlaNYC Challenge Partner and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2017. They are also a result of the University's historic agreement with the EPA. "In 2008, we became the first private institution to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the agency," said Thomas Goldsmith, Director of Energy and Environmental Conservation at St. John's.
"Thanks to the continuing involvement of Earth Club members, student Sustainability Coordinators and our Resident Assistants (RAs)," Goldsmith said, "St. John's now has a thriving organic garden and a high-tech, food-waste composter." Implemented earlier this year, the University's composter allows student workers to collect as much as 1,500 pounds of food waste weekly. "The composter combines University kitchen food waste trimmings and lawn waste with coffee grounds to produce an organic fertilizer," Goldsmith explained. "We then spread the fertilizer on lawns and foliage throughout the campus." St. John's also took advantage of the $1 million grant it received in 2010 from New York's State Energy Program to purchase and install LED lighting, occupancy sensors, insulation and sophisticated ventilation control systems. The Office of Residence Life worked hard to boost student interest in saving energy. "The RAs have had a positive impact on our performance in Campus Conservation Nationals (CCN) and RecycleMania," said Eric Finkelstein, Director of Residence Life. Through RecycleMania and CCN, colleges and universities nationwide compete in conserving energy and maximizing campus recycling. "The Queens campus came in tenth this year in CCN's list of leading energy reducers," said Goldsmith, "and we raised our recycling percentage to 33 percent — up from 25 percent last year." "We are simplifying our recycling process and finding ways to get more students involved," said Finkelstein. "This year we awarded free T-shirts and 'Get Caught Green-Handed' raffle tickets to students who signed the pledge to participate in both competitions." "Our residence halls did especially well," he added. "Henley Road Hall came in first on campus, scoring a 15.4 percent reduction in energy use." "I am hopeful," said Goldsmith, "that the University's impressive achievements will spark greater student engagement, helping St. John's to become a higher education sustainability model."

OPTION #1: Get "Proposal Pack for Any Business"
OPTION #2: Get a Proposal Pack with a unique graphic logo design
Why get the 'for Any Business' versus a graphic logo design pack? The 'for Any Business' version is the most conservative looking design and the easiest to customize. It is the best choice for government proposals, for people who want to do their own custom branding of the documents, and if any of our pre-designed logo packages do not match your company logo and colors.
Proposal Pack contains the following:
All of the Proposal Graphics Packs include the same proposal content and sample proposals as the 'Proposal Pack for Any Business'. The only difference between all of the choices is what the graphic logo designs look like.
We have already done the tedious work creating the structure, outlines, layout and graphic design so you can be well on your way to having your proposal completed before you even start.

great service your company has provided. I had a very important sales proposal to prepare for a realty firm, and was given only a 1-day notice. I purchased and downloaded the sales proposal [Proposal Pack] with the Real Estate design, and it was exactly what I needed. The forms were perfect, and the presentation went great. We were told it was the best she had ever seen. Thanks for a great product, and for providing it in a pinch!"

Edward Hopper and His Friends
Be prepared to fall in love with Edward Hopper all over again. You might even have had a poster of one of his night scenes in your college dorm room. In the new show of his work and that of some 30 other Hopper contemporaries, Hopper (1882-1967) still emerges as one of the most compelling artists of the last century. "Modern Life: Edward Hopper and His Time" is at the Whitney which supposedly has some 3,000 Hopper works given by his wife Jo, also an art student and the model for most of the women in his paintings.
The show covers American realism from roughly 1900-1940 and documents the way Hopper and his "friends" rebelled against the academic art that dominated Europe. No more lovely scenes of parks and posh picnics along the Seine, Hopper and his contemporaries -- William Glackens, George Bellow, Thomas Hart Benton to name just a few whose works are on view --- painted everyday scenes. They were drawn to tugboats, bridges, railroad cars, the new skyscrapers. But unlike his contemporaries, Hopper disliked regionalism which made a caricature of America. He advocated an "American art that transcended national, local, and regional traits," according to the sumptuous show catalog.

Lower-Level Position
After college, due to being a Business major, I obviously cannot take a summer job. If I were to apply for a lower-level job, like say Preparation cook, what are my chances of getting in? I went to the Antarctic with Quark Expeditions in December/January 06/07, and talking to the American member of the Expedition team (our tour directors, if you will) I would not have a hard time getting in if I went to the Job fair and was as enthusiastic there as I am now (He's not making a generalization, he worked as a carpenter at Scott-Amundsen South Pole Base).
My real question is, what does one do exactly at the job fair? I know we're supposed to meet people and take names and numbers, but what then? Do I have to make a large amount of phone calls, or do I just have to do an interview or two to greatly increase my chances? I don't care when or for how long I have to go to the Antarctic, and prefer to go to McMurdo, either for a short or long time. |

Fic: Twins at Play, NC-17
Title: Twins at Play
Author: madeyemax
Pairing: Percy/Fred/George
Rating: NC-17
Summary: The twins pay Percy a little visit.
Warnings: Incest, but that should be obvious, heh.
Word Count: 1,650
Disclaimer: I own nothing and I'm not getting paid.
Note: written for bbtp_challenge.
Fred threw his head back as he rode his older brother's cock. Percy took hold of Fred's solid waist, gripped it tight, and helped Fred ride him, pumping his own hips furiously, his skin slapping against the skin of Fred's backside.
George, stretched out on his side next to Percy, gazed admiringly up at his twin. He reached out to touch Fred's stomach as Fred leaned forward and braced himself with one hand on Percy's chest. Fred's other hand rested on one of his own thighs as he increased the speed of his ride. He let his mouth hang open, panting almost in time with his bouncing. His face and neck and chest were covered in a fine sheen of sweat. He closed his eyes, and despite his obvious physical exertion, he looked almost serene.
"You like to watch, don't you?" Percy growled. His face was sweaty, his expression hard with determination as he pushed repeatedly up into his younger brother.
"Yeah. And I like watching you lose control," George purred, caressing Percy's flat chest. "Are you about to? Are you about to explode?"
"Yes. I'm gonna come … I'm gonna … I'm coming … Yeah … oh, fuck …"
And as he began to come, George cupped the back of Percy's head and roughly took his mouth, Percy's noises flying down his throat. Fred slowed his ride and opened his eyes to watch Percy being savagely kissed by his twin. He rolled his hips and clenched down on Percy's prick as though trying to milk every last drop out of him.
George finally felt Percy relax and released him. Percy lay there limp and out of breath, his hands falling from Fred's waist. Fred, exhausted as well, slid off Percy and lay on his side next to him, opposite George.
"You know, Fred," said Percy, "If you'd allowed me to wear my glasses, I'd have been able to see you much more clearly while you were up there."
Fred rolled his eyes. "We've been through this."
"Glasses are so not sexy, Percival," said George. He repositioned himself between Percy's legs and pushed them up and apart. "Here, hold this," he said to Fred, motioning for Fred to take one of Percy's legs from him in order to free up one of his hands. Fred took hold of the leg closest to him and waited patiently as George reached over to the nightstand to get Percy's wand.
"Why," said Percy, "can't I just rest for a min – Oh!"
George had cast a little spell to lubricate and loosen Percy up. He smiled at Percy's reaction to the sensation.
"If you think that felt good," said Fred, "you're gonna love what he's about to do to you now." Fred took the wand from George and set it aside, pulled Percy's leg back even further, gripping it just behind the knee, and watched intently as George positioned the head of his cock at Percy's entrance. As he began to slide inside, Percy pressed his head back into the pillow and groaned.
"Oh, god."
"Is that a good 'oh, god,' or a bad one?" asked George, pausing to wait for Percy's answer.
"Good! So good!"
The twins grinned at each other. George slid all the way in, pulled out a little ways and then finally began to thrust.
"Oh, George," groaned Percy. "Oh, my god."
"I think he might like this," said Fred, caressing Percy's face.
"I think he might like it a lot," agreed George. "We should do something to quiet him down a bit, shouldn't we?"
"Oh, I think so." With a mischievous grin, Fred hoisted a leg up and over Percy, straddling him and plopping his bottom down on Percy's chest. "I have something for you," he murmured, shimmying up Percy's body until the head of his dick touched Percy's lower lip. "Open wide."
Percy looked down at what was awaiting entry into his mouth. The bright red thatch of pubic hair above and behind it reminded him strongly of his own. Sweet Merlin, these are my little brothers, he thought. He was on the verge of panicking and putting a stop the whole thing, when George pushed his legs further back and began hitting a wonderfully sensitive spot inside him. He opened his mouth to gasp and moan and he shivered with pleasure, all rational thought slipping from his mind.
Fred wasted no time; he quickly slid the head of his cock past Percy's parted lips. He leaned forward, bracing himself on the headboard of Percy's bed, and gently dipped his prick into his brother's mouth.
The view George had of his twin's backside, his balls hanging between his spread thighs, aroused him even more. He released one of Percy's legs and reached out to touch his twin, cupping one of Fred's firm, freckled cheeks. He brought his hand up to his own face, thoroughly licked two of his fingers and placed his wet fingertips at Fred's little pink hole. He gently fingered it, rimmed it, and finally pushed his way through, sliding both fingers all the way into the already loosened opening.
Percy wasn't sure at first what had changed to make Fred moan and squirm like that. He brought his hands up to cup Fred's cheeks as he sucked contentedly, let his fingers venture into Fred's crack and felt the other hand, George's hand, thrusting there. He decided to assist in driving Fred mad with pleasure and tightened his lips around Fred's shaft.
"I'm gonna come," Fred finally said. He took himself out of Percy's mouth, looked down at him with slightly dazed eyes, and asked, "Can I come in your mouth?"
"Yes," Percy nodded with no hesitation. His eagerness made Fred smile, and Fred slid himself back inside and continued pumping. With Percy's willing mouth and George's stroking fingers, it was mere seconds before Fred's body shuddered and began to empty itself down Percy's throat.
When Fred's body relaxed, George removed his fingers. With a groan, Fred lowered himself down on Percy's left side, collapsing there and grinning tiredly at Percy. "Thanks, Perc" Fred whispered and moved in for a soft, but passionate, kiss, tasting himself on Percy's tongue.
Watching them kiss, George began to fuck his older brother harder, faster, sweat starting to glisten all over his skin. Fred and Percy finally broke the kiss and looked up to watch him work toward his own climax.
"Come inside me," begged Percy, his voice soft and breathy as he began to arch and writhe on the bed. "Please … oh, god, George … harder … YES!"
"You're being so vocal, Perc. Very good," whispered Fred, nodding his approval. "We wanna see you completely fucking lose it."
Percy was on the verge of doing just that. His cries grew louder, his face redder. "I think I'm gonna … come again. Oh, my god!"
George adjusted his angle to better hit Percy's prostate, hoping to encourage another orgasm out of him. He pushed Percy's legs back as far as they'd go. "I'm gonna come with you," he panted. "Let me know when. Let me know …"
"Now! Right now!" And Percy cried out as he began to climax once more. The sight of him spread out like that and coming all over himself was enough to push George over the edge and he began to shoot his load deep inside his big brother. He lowered his body to lie flat on top of Percy, thrusting and spurting into him.
George brought his mouth down to the right side of Percy's neck and began to kiss him there while Fred kissed and sucked on the left. Percy arched his neck, offering it to them, as his second orgasm rocketed through him. Finally the two sets of lips both kissed their way to Percy's chin and then left Percy's face entirely.
Percy's climax finally ended and he opened his eyes to find the twins kissing each other softly and sweetly. He watched this quietly for a while, almost fascinated by how these mirror images could desire each other so deeply.
He finally cleared his throat. Their lips parted and they and looked at him.
"Oh, hello, there," said Fred brightly.
"Thought we'd lost you," said George. With a groan, he withdrew and rolled off Percy. He and Fred settled on either side of their brother and proceeded nuzzled his ears.
"Fred, George," said Percy, "if I may ask … why did you come in here in the first place?"
The twins frowned at each other, trying to remember.
"Er," said George.
"Oh, I remember," said Fred. "Extra quills. Wanted to see if you had any."
"Oh," said Percy. He gestured weakly at the desk across the room. "Over there."
"Right. Thanks!" And with that, the twins got up and began to dress.
Exhausted as he was, Percy forced himself to sit up. "You didn't really come in here for quills, did you?"
"What exactly are you suggesting?" asked George.
"He's suggesting we used the quills as an excuse to come in here and shag him," said Fred with mock indignation.
"Well, I never!" George pulled on the last of his clothing and crossed the room to grab a couple of quills from Percy's desk. "Someone thinks an awful lot of himself today."
"And yesterday, don't forget."
"And the day before that too, as I recall."
"Seems to be a pattern with this one, doesn't it?"
"Oh, for pity's sake," muttered Percy.
"Come on, George, let's go." The twins went for the door, but stopped when they reached it. They exchanged a glance and Fred slipped past his twin to return to Percy's bed. He leaned over, put his face level with Percy's, and murmured, "We'll be back in twenty minutes for the ink." He made a hot, wet swipe across Percy's lips with his tongue and was off again, he and George grinning wickedly as they both left the room.

btw, do you guys know if the samsung bx2450 will be able to play 3D games? I want to buy that nvidia 3D thingy =p
You are a bit out of luck on this one. This monitor doesn't have 3d support, and you would need a specialized 3d monitor to use nVidia's 3d vision (you can search for one at http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html)
Hmmm...I just made a groundbreaking discovery....rAge 2011 is one week away!!! Pure awesomeness!! :D
got all my steam games back and sorted and backed up, alll my games updated and pretty much finding space to free on my pc. Pre-LAN at a mates place to sort out anyone of their games. Wooh
I need to get a new gaming mouse, my G5 is on its way out. Leaning towards the Razer Imperator 4G.
Ya, its awesome but also pricey. I mean 1K On a mouse?
Some shops are selling it for R999.... Like Titan Ice.. Must just know where to look :)
R.A.T 7 has issues, used it for a month and it goes crazy. Dont waste your money. Buy a Razer mouse!
Its the duel sensor.... I have a mouse at the moment with one.. i'm use to it..
I had the Razer Imperator 4G, it really has some issues, and it's only a fancy name... I now have the Logitech G700.... AWESOME =)... most impressive mouse I ever gamed with. http://www.logitech.com/gaming/mice-...s/devices/7244
I had a Logitech mx400 for a very long time and it was a great mouse. I am using the Razer Death Adder Black edition now and its worth much more than its price... Its a great mouse!!!
I agree that both the RAT and Razer has issues. I am using the RAT 9 at the moment and it gives me less issues than the Razer Lachesis.My Razer just randomly jumps up every half an hour on my screen. The only thing im getting probs with my RAT 9 is that it gets stuff stuck close to the eye at the bottom and causes mishaps when moving every now and then, keep it clean and it works perfectly.
The only mouse brand i never found issues with was Logitech.

There are two basic realities about Cuba's communist dictatorship that U.S. policy, and the anti-Castro hardliners that shape it, prefer to ignore. The first is that the Castro brothers will almost certainly die in power. The second is that market-oriented economic reforms, albeit tentative, are as much a part of Cuba's landscape today as 1956 Chevrolets.
On The Florida Roundup, we take a special look at the economy.
Employment, tourism and real estate numbers suggest a recovery. We'll examine whether Gov. Rick Scott's "it's working" motto is actually working -- for him.
Meanwhile, the legislative session is over but many bills are still under review by the governor. The biggest: Florida's $74.5 billion budget.
And locally, could South Florida lose both the Super Bowl and the International Swimming Hall of Fame to California?
On The Florida Roundup, here are some of the items on our rundown:
Anyone who has tried to tend a garden or walk the dog in the height of a South Florida summer understands the energy-zapping qualities of a heat and humidity combo. A recently released study reports that climate change will mean an increase in those sticky, sweaty days.
02/19/13 - Tuesday's Topical Currents is with Princeton University economics professor and Wall Street Journal columnist Alan Blinder. How did the worst economic disaster in post-war American history occur? The US financial system, he says, was far too complex and unregulated for the public good. Blinder has written AFTER THE MUSIC STOPPED: The Financial Crisis, the Response and the Work Ahead. Links http://www.princeton.edu/~blinder/

Time was, the stretch following Christmas Day until New Year's Day was a quiet, sleepy spot on the American calendar. The six-day span hung like a lazy hammock between the holidays.
Not anymore.
Nowadays, the WAC — Week After Christmas — is busy and abuzzing. All around the country, Americans continue to celebrate — Kwanzaa, the Christmas afterglow and the coming New Year.
Consumer confidence in Florida dropped this month, but retailers were busy over the Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend.
The National Retail Federation says more people went shopping on Black Friday this year than ever before.
University of Central Florida Economist Sean Snaith says shoppers may just be more budget conscious and eager to take advantage of big sales.
Hitting the malls on Thanksgiving night is becoming more common in South Florida. Stores are offering more than sales to entice shoppers away from the dinner table.
Details from WLRN-Miami Herald News.

Voters in Washington and Colorado just approved measures legalizing marijuana for recreational use. But businesses that want to sell marijuana in those states will face a problem: No bank wants to do business with them.
I called several banks in Washington. I called a local credit union, a tiny bank in the San Juan islands. Everybody said basically the same thing. Even if selling marijuana is legal under state law, it's still illegal under federal law. And banks and credit unions worry that this could get them in trouble.
One in five Floridians - about 3.6 million - is receiving food stamp benefits and the number is rising in South Florida, according to new data released by the state..
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties all saw increased enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in October.
The Sun Sentinel reports that the trend is particularly troubling for Broward County
The September jobs numbers are out for Florida and the news is somewhat better statewide. Seasonally adjusted, unemployment dropped to 8.7 percent which is down 0.1 percentage point from August.
Gov. Rick Scott is trying to appease educators.
They didn't like it when he chopped $1.3 billion in education funding from the state budget.
They liked it even less when he called for an expansion of charter schools and other alternatives to traditional public schools.
So, while most people are focused on the November ballot, USF Political Scientist Seth McKee says Scott appears to be ramping up his 2014 reelection campaign by extending an olive branch to teachers.
Florida is number one when it comes to foreclosures. This is the first time since 2005 that Florida has held the top spot.
The rankings for September are based on figures released Thursday by RealtyTrac.
Within the state, Broward County has the highest percentage of homes going through the foreclosure process.
10/01/12 - Monday's Topical Currents is with Time Magazine Senior Correspondent Michael Grunwald, who's chronicled the events and reactions surrounding the 2009 federal stimulus package, which reached 700-billion-dollars. In The New New Deal, Grunwald examines what prompted conservatives to condemn the stimulus as a monstrous waste and liberals to lament the lost opportunity for a bigger and bolder package. Grunwald speaks with literary contributor Ariel Gonzalez.

Within the biopharmaceutical industry there is a growing emphasis on alliances and collaboration with external organizations driven by the need to access innovation, fill product pipelines, develop companion diagnostics, and ultimately, harness an alliance ecosystem to gain market access. Yet, despite the impetus to forge strategic partnerships, stakeholders are often confronted with the increasing complexities of systematically and effectively managing partnerships throughout their lifecycle. Why do some alliances fail, while others bear fruit? How do partnering companies create a shared culture, develop trust, and maximize their investments? How does the alliance management function itself act as a central driver of value, while alleviating perturbations, and meeting alliance goals? Critical to the success of any strategic partnership is the ever evolving discipline of alliance management.
Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 11th Annual Strategic Alliance Management Congress, May 5-7, brings together senior alliance management, business development, technology transfer and licensing professionals, to network, share experiences, discuss case studies, and to identify the components that cultivate successful partnerships. Delegates will gain strategic insights, proven tools, methods, and perspectives from a variety of leaders advancing the art of alliance management.

Vaccines for Children ProgramMetro Health's Vaccines for Children Program is for Infants, Toddlers Tweens & TeensClick HERE for VFC Provider FormsClick Here for VFC Shot Talk NewslettersThe Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program has been expanded and includes vaccines that protect adolescents from vaccine-preventable diseases. In addition to the routinely recommended childhood vaccines available through the VFC Program, physicians that serve adolescent patients can also benefit from joining the VFC Program. The VFC Program offers the following vaccines to enrolled providers for VFC eligible patients; Hepatitis B, Rotavirus, DTaP, Hib, Pneumococcal, Inactivated Polio, Influenza, MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis A, Meningococcal, TDaP, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Your patients are eligible to receive VFC vaccine if they are 0-18 years of age and meet one of the following criteria:
Providers receive an administrative fee when giving immunizations to Medicaid and CHIP enrolled patients. The fee covers staff time and supplies. Providers cannot bill Medicaid or CHIP for the vaccine, because it is supplied at no cost through the VFC Program. Providers can charge a vaccine administration fee to patients that are Uninsured, Underinsured, and American Indian or Alaskan Native by requesting the fee at the time of service, which cannot exceed $22.00 per dose. By joining the VFC Program providers agree not to turn VFC eligible children away for immunizations if the parent/guardian cannot pay the administrative fee. When the family cannot pay the administrative fee, the fee is waived and recommended vaccines are provided.

District Digest: Kwame's crimes and misdemeanors
Posted by: Rachel Calvert in News, Vox Populi, tags: Capital Pride, Corcoran Gallery, District Digest, Jack Evans, Kwame BrownThis week in D.C. news features Kwame Brown's fraud charges, Capital Pride back in action, Corcoran Museum's plans to sell the Beaux-Arts building and Councilmember Jack Evans getting a little feisty on Twitter.
Kwame, Fully loaded
Kwame "Fully Loaded" Brown pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud, a federal felony, after resigning his City Council seat on Wednesday. Back in 2007 Brown submitted falsified loan applications, one of which was to finance his ironically-named boat, "Bullet Proof." He exaggerated his income, forged a signature and changed a 3 to an 8 (on two occasions).
Yesterday, prosecutors charged Brown with violating the District's campaign finance laws during his 2008 reelection campaign. Prosecutors alleged that Brown authorized a family member to establish a "side account" for campaign contributions, which he used to make under-the-table expenditures in excess of $50. Failing to report expenditures of that size is a misdemeanor. Today, Brown gave a less-than-contrite acknowledgment of his campaign finance transgressions.
As reported by Washington City Paper, Brown gave a statement to reporters as he left the federal courthouse after pleading guilty to the felony bank charge. "I am guilty to knowing that poll workers and others received more than $50 in cash payments for doing campaign work, which is and has been done in this city for years," he said. "I believe I'm the…only candidate who has ever been charged—with a misdemeanor."
Here's a handy summary of the "Fully Loaded" saga.

So President Obama and governor Romney will be duking it out over their foreign policy in tonight's debate if you're wondering how directly impacts you.
Some how much you paid the last time -- filled up your tank.
So which candidate is better for your wallet when it comes to energy here to weigh in -- -- this -- -- energy tycoon -- chairman and CEO BP capital management.
-- just a legend in general.
Ben thank you so much for coming nine we always appreciate your time to let's get right to -- whose foreign policy do you think translates to lower energy prices.
Well foreign policy is as you know is an energy policy combined.
Because you're getting.
All from OPEC -- half million barrels -- so which one of the candidates.
Obama has got it right that we have a lot of natural gas in American we should use it.
But he talks about it but he never comes up with a policy he never has appliance.
-- look over Romney he says that you know we have played natural gas we have other resources he says we have more all -- And we're heading to our all production greater than any other country in the -- -- right now.
So our industry has done a fabulous job for America.
So what does that mean -- Romney's got a -- -- page client.
And it's a good plane and it will work what.
He -- what is -- what is it now because I think most of our viewers probably haven't read the -- -- he -- pages.
Of governor Romney's energy plant in -- some nuggets in their what you think there are good policies.
All he's he's very clear he I he's not talk about legislation.
He's talking about leadership.
-- saw what he intends to do is help build in my hand for natural gas in America.
Which is good we don't -- -- exported but we will export I'm not against exporting.
What I am for is increased demand so here that you if he brought it down -- you know the bottom line.
He says get on your own resources.
Well you -- look at the countries around the world that are on their own resources.
They're doing very very well.
-- and the United States has that opportunity.
At this point.
Leadership from Washington -- take -- in the direction of your own resources and you've got -- resource.
And I think you're probably -- -- understands the industry.
He does an.
Now -- -- sitting in a situation where we have a glut of natural gas.
You know we've started fracking for -- it's eight all over the country almost to the point where it's a problem because natural gas price prices have plummeted.
Making producer is less anxious to go out there and drill for -- you're one of them.
What do you think that we could do.
To move to ward -- we have more natural gas for transportation we can use -- this supply and become more energy independent from the Middle East.
Well taking advantage.
About -- spot natural gas.
How do you do -- there may be -- in eighteen wheelers.
And the price of -- as I've dedicated and natural gas fueling station for Apache.
In Lafayette Louisiana last week and right across the street.
The -- the diesel is 379.
On the pump at the Apache station was 1789.
Two dollars.
That -- you don't have to have legislation that -- his staff and but what you gonna do it now what -- it mean if you have eight million vehicles you remember their 250 million vehicles in America.
Saw one is a Canadian if we took goes over to natural gas pay -- from diesel.
That would be three million barrels of that.
Well how much should we import from OPEC four and a half million so you could -- with eight million vehicles than you can do this -- five years.
That if if -- it if you did if you weren't they may be if you'd cut OPEC -- 75%.
Now if you think it's a free market -- all your kid yourself OPEC sets surprise for all up.
It's that simple way did you in the global market they do now they're two different process for all global prize -- North -- -- Is about fifteen or twenty dollars a barrel higher today and west Texas intermediate which is a crude we have in America.
So that's why we have the cheapest fuel in the world cheap oil cheap gasoline and cheaper natural gas.
Let me so I usually it is fixed asked -- an economic reform recovery yet -- let me bring it -- election because there is you know so -- natural that's we've now seen this I mean we've seen that we can get added.
It is possible to use it for transportation this does seem like it would be good idea down the -- when I talk to people in the industry they are worried though that there is a new war coming.
On fracking.
Are you concerned that a President Obama is reelected.
That you know you could face this challenge going forward that just when we see the tide turning to use our own natural gas that he would not be.
Pro fracking in pro natural gas.
I think that the likely that because.
Obama -- he keeps on my green jobs and he's talking about wind and solar -- wind to solar do not replace diesel.
Our oil that's not what they they provide it does it work you will it's expediency but he is not pro industry.
He talks about the industry -- -- much money and things like that they industries providing the cheapest energy in America in the world.
OK so yes I think Romney sees a picture black it is it's a big picture energy is a big part of our economy.
And I think Romney understands.
OK Ben thank you so much for coming -- we always a --

I just hit level 50 in Black Ops.
I now see the experience bar showing my next level is 1.
Does that mean I will have to prestige? I thought it was optional (because there is a menu option for it on my player card).
I just hit level 50 in Black Ops. I now see the experience bar showing my next level is 1. Does that mean I will have to prestige? I thought it was optional (because there is a menu option for it on my player card). |
You don't have too, but there's a few minor advantages to prestiging: You get access to additional player card backdrops, more custom class slots, a prestige only leader board and prestige specific playlists. The main downside is you have to earn all of your unlocks over again. The only thing you get to keep is your player card. Not even your CoD bucks carry over. My advice? If you got to level 50 in less than a month, and intend to play the game for a few more months, prestige only once. There's plenty to do after you hit 50. I still have a bunch of challenges left to complete (although I did prestige once already and I'm at 50 again now). I don't know this for sure, but if the matchmaking algorithm considers the prestige count and you're a mediocre player that got his level through playing a lot, rather than skill, you may actually end up playing with people who are significantly better than you when you do prestige, if the assumption is true that hardcore players who genuinely are better than you are more likely to prestige. Yeah, there's a few assumptions here. | |||||
I believe you don't have to prestige, but level 50 is the maximum in Black Ops. | |||
You don't have to, but you get a nifty icon, more custom class slots and access to a few more player cards. At later prestige levels you get alternate face paints and even golden gun camo at Prestige 15. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: The ONLY things you get to carry over to the next prestige level are the modifications to your player card. If you're going to Prestige I highly recommend spending every bit of your COD bucks on player card alterations, because you lose all of your COD bucks when you Prestige. | |||
It's your choice or not cuz when you prestige , you can acess to many stuff like the golden fun(prestige 14) , new custom or more custom as we can say and also player card ;) but don't care about your level cuz when u prestige they should see your emblem and don't caree about noobs lol. The level doesn't count cuz even thought that your level 1 or more and your versing a lvl 50 and using a like mp5k for example , you could even or maybe kick his ass ;) so no worry ! :) for me , i think is better to prestige cuz you would be more stronger when u face with people of your level and you could 1 rank ;) and then you will gain more respect from them ! ^^ so i hope that i help you ! ^^ | |||
You don't have to. The challenge is there. You may get as many XP/CoD Points you want, though, it will make your decision to move on harder. ;) | |||
I think he is asking whether or not hanging around level 50 for more than a little while is lame or not. In my opinion, it is, although as soon as I went Prestige, I was missing the perks and Commando like crazy and could not wait to get it back, so it's your own personal preference. You have to ask yourself, do you want to have 5 stars or a good-looking something, or would you rather have an eagle claw? | ||||
There is no real reason to NOT prestige. If you stay at level 50, you may not be properly matched up against people of a similar level, if you manage to complete loads of challenges, it means nothing as XP is just wasted. I debated prestiging the second time, but decided that there would be no point in playing on if I was staying at level 50. Also remember that when you prestige, all your challenges are reset, apart from the 'Lifetime' ones. So if you are close to completing one of those, it may be worth prestiging and then completing that to jump you up a few levels. | |||||
There is no point to prestige. Just get your pro percs and have fun using them. The question is, if you don't prestige, will you still get to face golden gun players in team deathmatch? I have played against golden gun players in demolition and stuff, but i don't think i've encountered a golden gun player in team deathmatch. | |||||||||

Normal surface water waves, as generated by wind, do not have sine form but wave peak is higher and shorter than wave trough with different wave steepness. What parameters characterize such a surface water wave and how can one predict amplitude of water for given waves as function of time?
Deep water waves are often described as "cnoidal", with a mathematical description involving the Jacobian elliptic function cn(). This is an exact solution to the nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries differential equation. A more accurate equation is the Boussinesq. These are the basis for describing all water waves, whether stirred up by wind or otherwise. The basic parameters for a particular solution are wave height, period (or wavelength), depth of the water, and acceleration of gravity. I hate to cite Wikipedia due to its propensity to change, but the best explanations I could find, including math, are there. As for the details of wind pushing on the wave peaks, and the peaks disturbing the air flow, and big waves breaking over in ways that excite surfers, there are no nice mathematical forms I know of, but then I'm not expert on this. Numerical modeling is king in the area. Some original research was done for the movie "The Perfect Storm" on how to do better simulations and crunch the numbers faster. | ||||
