We went to a stanian haircut place where they do it for 100 rybs, which is like 2 bucks. I go back with my guy and he says, hey, I'm farhool, and then just waited for a response. I said great farhool. He said, its gonna be 200 rybs. I said, Why, because you're farhool? He said, no, I'm the stylist bro. So i shelled out the 2 hundi and he straight up just shaved me bald. Darn you farhool. So half our week went to the conference, which was good cuz I got to see my boys. Antropov is still doing funky fresh. I am getting pretty tired of missionary conferences though, I think I've been to too many of them. Alexey is doing awesome now that he is moved and back in school. Now there is only one more guy we've got to get to stop drinking. Oh, this week we are starting russian week, whcih should be a good time. Just where we don't speak english, not that exciting. One more event, we stopped by a less active with pres hansen the senior couple guy. The lady wasn't home but her husband came out in a camo tank top and did not seem too happy. I was asking about the lady we were looking for and he was being really distant and didn't seem to know much about here so I was like, so are you guys just neighbors or... He did not like that very much. He told me that he was her husband and then started angrily saying things in german thinking that he had us beat. Little did he know that hansen had served a mission in germany as a boy, sucka. So pres hansen started chatting it up with him in german and it all ended with smiles and handshakes. Fun times. Sometimes you stand there and take inventory on what is happening in the given moment and realize that your life is really weird. Another funny story. One of the young girls came up to me at church yesterday and said hey, you were really rude to me in my dream last night, I woke up crying and almost didn't come to church because of you. I said what do you want me to apologize or something? She said ya you probably should. And then this crazyish old lady member with orange hair just started saying, "o my, russian girls, they are something, o my. what are they, o my". I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes, and i walked into the sacrament hall and couldn't stop. That just about made my week. The members here are pretty funny. Oh also faisal is getting baptized on the 7th, that guys so ready it's riddiculous. See you guys later, about a month and a half later. Peace

A sudden move by Democratic state lawmakers to allow Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties to levy an additional half-percent sales tax for MARTA stalled the same day it was introduced on the second-to-last day of the legislative session.
But that won't be the last you hear of the proposal. MARTA Board Chairman Robbie Ashe said recently that the transit agency will be lobbying hard for lawmakers to let the counties in its jurisdiction vote on a half-penny hike in the upcoming 2016 session.
"Over the weeks and months to come, we are going to keep beating this drum," Ashe said.
MARTA's expansion plans include three major projects: a $2.4 billion heavy rail extension along Ga. 400 to Windward Parkway in Alpharetta; a $1-to-$2 billion light rail system along the Emory/Clifton Corridor; and a $2.5 billion heavy rail extension along I-20 East to Stonecrest Mall.
Daily ridership estimates for the three projects are 23,700, 24,000 and 55,000 respectively.
Currently there's no money to fund any of these projects.
The state Legislature did approve a one-time appropriation of $100 million in bonds for transit this year, but that money will be divided among all the transit agencies in the state. It won't come close to approaching the billions needed to lay new rail tracks.
What MARTA really wants is a dependable long-term funding stream it can bond against and use as a local match to draw down federal grant dollars.
In Fulton and DeKalb alone, a half-cent sales tax increase would generate enough money to fund all three expansion projects, and possibly even help jump-start transit along the Beltline if it attracted an additional federal match, Ashe said.
His remarks came during a MARTA Development Day on May 5 that was attended by hundreds of business people, developers and investors interested in building near MARTA stations.
"You all need to be told what that kind of investment, that kind of construction activity and all the potential developments centered around dozens of new stations would mean for our future," Ashe said. "But here's the truth. We won't build a single one of those stations, we won't build our rail one inch, if we don't get a new long-term revenue stream. We just won't have the money for it."

TL;DR Summary
There is a whopper error in this poster. Can you spot it? Let's rewrite the first line:
US $7.25 Minimum Wage 49.95 Danish Krone
Written that way, you would convert one currency in to the other, right? Canadian currency, like the US, is called a "dollar". But the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are not equivalent. This propaganda poster uses this sleight of hand magic trick to persuade – most people see the $7.25 and the $10.45 and think they are making a meaningful comparison! [1]
- This technique – sleight-of-hand and a false comparison – is effective in propaganda, just as a magician's use of distraction is used to hide how the trick is done.
The statement should read:
US $7.25 Minimum Wage Canadian $10.45
As of January 31, 2016, one Canadian dollar is worth 71 US cents. Thus C$10.45 is US $7.46 so the poster now reads:
US $7.25 Minimum Wage US equivalent $7.46
But there are several more errors in this chart than just this …

Financial experts are constantly stressing the importance of your credit report, and you'd be wise to take their advice seriously. If you've ever used credit for any reason, like an auto loan or credit card, all of the activity will be collected on your credit report and your credit score is then calculated using the data, such as: payment history, amount of outstanding debt and your total available credit. Your credit history and score reflect how well you manage your finances and directly impact whether you are approved or denied for further credit. But it's not just financial institutions that may be using your credit report.
Basics of Credit Reports
Many consumers are not aware that they have three separate credit reports – one from each of the major credit reporting agencies: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. While each report can be a factor that a lender considers when reviewing your loan application, most institutions will review a minimum of two out of the three reports. That's why it's so important to know what behavior each report is showing.
Your credit report can be viewed by any company or individual who has a legitimate business need. You authorize access when you sign a contract for a loan or credit card application. Permission is also granted for requests related to credit, collections, rent, employment or insurance. Here are the types of companies and institutions that may regularly check your credit report:
Entities That May Review Your Report
Financial Institutions and Creditors
Banks, credit unions and other lenders need to review your credit report to decide whether to take the risk of approving your loan application. Your current lenders will also check your credit report, especially if you're having difficulty paying your bills. Even if you haven't missed or made a late payment, your creditors may monitor your report as a way of protecting their investment. If there are negative entries, they may take steps to raise your interest rate, cut your credit limit or close your account.
Debt Collection Companies
When a delinquent account is sold to a debt collection agency, the first thing they'll do is check your credit report. They'll be able to view your past and present accounts, employment history and personal contact information including your address, phone number and employer.
Employment Agencies and Potential Employers
You may be surprised to know that employers check your credit report when deciding whether to hire you or when considering a promotion or raise. They may be looking for signs of integrity, maturity and someone who can handle money responsibly. Your credit report will show bankruptcies, late payments, and excessive debt that may or may not prevent you from getting that job, raise or promotion.
Property Owners and Landlords
This comes a surprise to many people looking to rent or lease a new home. Landlords need to be assured that their tenants are willing and able to pay the rent each month. So their examination of your credit report will disclose trouble spots like foreclosures or evictions.
Insurance Companies
Renter's, homeowner's and automobile insurers will consider the information on your credit report as part of the criteria for determining if they will provide you with insurance. In addition, they will decide the rate you will pay and the amount of coverage, poor report will mean higher rates and less coverage, for example.

Canadian wedding failure was a blessing in disguise.
Sometimes blessings come in disguise.
So when a surprise wedding in Canada didn't quite go to plan for Sarah and William, it simply meant they could celebrate with family and friends on this side of the Atlantic instead.
The couple, who live in Leyland, were married at St Ambrose Church, Leyland, on May 30.
Sarah, a teacher originally from Ambleside, and William, a coach driver originally from Wigan, met when they bumped into each other in Grasmere in the Lake District.
Romance quickly blossomed and while on a family holiday to Canada, where the pair would eventually honeymoon, William had a surprise – it just wasn't the one Sarah had thought it would be.
Sarah says: "The proposal itself didn't really happen.
"William had meant to arrange a surprise wedding while we were over there, but red tape and long distance made it difficult to arrange.
"Instead, he just told me!"
The couple eventually married in Leyland in an intimate family ceremony.
"It was perfect, a lovely day," say the newlyweds.
Sarah was walked down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be by her brother, Jeffrey Maycock, while her mum ensured she had the perfect wedding cake. Guests arrived from Canada, the Lake District, and from across the north-west to see the pair exchange vows and the bride's mum had her own secret surprise in store.
"A surprise guest landed on the Tuesday before the big day," says the new Mrs Winstanley.
"A special auntie who said she couldn't come was picked up from the airport and managed to make it after all."
The wedding party continued on to the Tickled Trout Hotel at Samlesbury, where Sarah and William took to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife to Canadian rocker Bryan Adams' hit 'Please Forgive Me'. And into the evening Sarah's teammates from the Leyland and Chorley Hockey Club "helped to keep the dance floor buzzing".

Ray Guilleminot August 25, 2016
Illustration by N. Friesen
It's been about 24 hours since I sat and stared at a man who, in front of thousands of cheering fans, pointed off to a distant place and simply nodded. His other hand held a microphone, with its cable tangled softly at the wrist, waiting to either be raised or released.
Clenching his teeth, he lowered his head and growled into the mic, and as he slowly looked up at the many faces before him, he bellowed into the dark above them.
I'd heard this howl before more than 20 years ago, but the mood back then was of jubilation and exhaustion. A lot had changed since then, so it felt strange to see it and hear it now.
It'd be better for us if you don't understand.
When I was first introduced to The Tragically Hip, I didn't like them. Or more to the point, I didn't get them. Were they trying to be a glorified bar band or was I the one failing to see that they were exactly that? And because we always fear what we don't understand, I was fine to dismiss them altogether. I wished Mr. Downie and his crew the best of luck and foolishly moved on, denying myself the gift that was our country's greatest musical ambassadors when music itself was becoming such a heavy influence during my early teens.
One of my best friends tried to steer me back by giving me a copy of Road Apples for my 16th birthday. I remained unconvinced.
I put it off. I put it on. I put it off again.
It wasn't until the fall of 1994 that I'd finally get it, better late than never, when the album Day For Night reversed my opinion. It carried with it that little bit of weird I would come to love about this band. A few months later, I'd see them live for the first time.
They became part of the soundtrack of my life for years to come, from campfires and house parties to road trips and break-ups. No matter where I was, physically or emotionally, Gord lent his voice to galvanize those memories with.
Late-breaking story on the CBC…
Decades later, and courtesy of the CBC and a decent television, I was staring back into the eyes of a man who seemed to be screaming out in defiance of his fate. Whether or not God was listening, he/she most certainly heard him.
Earlier in the evening, while the band was wrapping up "Little Bones", I started to struggle with what was unfolding. I'd even turned to wife and said, "I don't think I can watch this anymore."
I knew why it was important for the band to embark on a final tour. I knew why it was important for the national network to broadcast their last show. I knew why millions of people were tuning in. I just suddenly felt like I shouldn't be one of them.
Gordon was fumbling his lines, even with several teleprompters at the ready. It was painfully obvious how much he was depending on them from the start. And he was clearly trying his best to hit all the right notes, but even that often got away from him. He was also basically shouting the words at times like he couldn't recall the familiar melodies he'd created long ago.
And I was ashamed of myself to be even noticing any of these things because the man has FUCKING BRAIN CANCER.
I consider Gordon to be a hero of mine, which is what was making it so hard for me to see him in this state.
Over the years, he's shared stories with me. He's made me laugh. He's been steady at times when I couldn't keep it together. He taught me it's ok to be a little weird. It's just a part of who we are. And now we're losing him.
The very least I could do was to be steady for him until the end.
Yeah the sky was dull and hypothetical and falling one cloud at a time…
It was an interesting experience to be sure, to be able to watch an iconic band play their last show in front of the entire country. There were no commercial interruptions. No colour commentary – just Gord, the boys and the fans. It would have been nice to see fewer smartphones being held up during the concert, but that's just another glaring difference between now and 20 years ago.
By the time they opened their second encore with "Nautical Disaster", I was in shambles. At that point, there had been several gut-wrenching moments and I was able to handle them because Gord was able to handle them. The man had given us everything, and asked for nothing in return.
It immediately took me back to seeing them play on SNL back in 1995. At the time, they were the biggest band in Canada, but playing to an audience who'd likely never heard of them. They crushed their performance and it could have been the breakthrough they need in the U.S., but you could tell by looking at Gord that it wouldn't have mattered either way. They were just doing their thing.
And while it's broadly known that The Hip's success was limited to their home country for the most part, perhaps that is a part of what makes them so special to us as Canadians.
And that's why I'm especially glad I kept watching no matter what.
Ray Guilleminot is a Winnipeg writer, music nerd and movie buff. He long ago came to terms with the fact that most non-Canadian bands think touring Canada means only playing Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

New bill looks to crack down on Rx theft, receives support from PSM
WASHINGTON — Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, introduced new legislation that seeks to curb prescription drug theft through strengthened penalties and additional tools for law enforcement.
If approved, the legislation would:
Increase possible sentences for robbing pharmacies of controlled substances;
Increase sentences for the theft of medical products and for transportation and storage of stolen medical products, and apply that increase to each current section of federal law that could be used by prosecutors to charge such crimes;
Enhance penalties for stolen medical product "fences," including individuals and organizations who knowingly obtain stolen products for resale into the supply chain;
Increase sentences when harm occurs or trust is broken — in other words, when the defendant is employed by an organization in the supply chain or when there was a death as the result of ingestion of a stolen substance;
Make theft of medical products a predicate for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, law, giving law enforcement access to wiretaps and other sophisticated tools; and
Provide for civil penalties and forfeiture of ill-gotten gains derived from medical product theft.
This week, the legislation was commended by the Partnership for Safe Medicines, a group of nonprofit organizations and individuals that have policies, procedures or programs to protect consumers from counterfeit or contraband medicines.
"This bill is yet another example of both the growing threat and increased awareness of the global counterfeit drug threat," stated Thomas Kubic, the Pharmaceutical Security Institute president and CEO and board member of PSM. "When we're talking about patient and consumer safety, there is no difference between stolen medicines and fake medicines. I am pleased that Sens. Schumer, Rockefeller, Klobuchar and Brown recognize this public health risk and have introduced this important legislation."
One danger with stolen pharmaceuticals is that once those medicines drop out of the U.S. closed distribution network, they can be manipulated by counterfeiters before being resold, the PSM noted.
Purdue offers grant to fund Fla. Rx monitoring program
STAMFORD, Conn. — Drug maker Purdue Pharma is giving a $1 million grant to the state of Florida to help fund the state's prescription drug monitoring program, the company said Wednesday.
Purdue said the program was designed to combat illegal diversion and abuse of prescription drugs. Purdue is the maker of OxyContin (oxycodone), an extended-release opioid painkiller that often is a target of abuse.
The company also is giving a $1 million grant to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to support the group's program to help state prescription drug monitoring programs detect "doctor shopping" across state lines.
Tris seeks FDA OK for allergy treatment for kids
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. — The Food and Drug Administration has accepted a regulatory approval application from Tris Pharma for a drug to treat allergies in children ages 2 years and older, Tris said Wednesday.
Tris said that if approved, its carbinoxamine extended-release oral suspension would provide an alternative to currently available immediate-release formulations.
Carbinoxamine is a mildly sedating antihistamine. Before 2006, it was widely used, with more than 100 products containing the drug, but nearly all were older drugs that hadn't undergone the FDA's approval process. The agency removed all of them except two immediate-release formulations.

(Bloomberg) -- Trump-fueled enthusiasm is running out.
Hopes for a pro-growth suite of fiscal policies under President Donald Trump buoyed financial markets after Nov. 8, sparking a rise in measures of consumer and business confidence that sent the gap between these "soft" data and measures of real economic activity to its widest level in six years.
This exuberance is probably peaking, writes Charles Himmelberg, Goldman Sachs' chief credit strategist, who cites several signs of cooling sentiment:
The Conference Board's measure of consumer expectations for the U.S. economy over the next six months fell to 99.8 in January from 106.4 the prior month, registering its steepest decline in more than a year. Retail investors' preference for stocks over bonds after the election has almost fully reversed, according to Himmelberg, with the four-week trend for mutual fund flows into U.S. bond funds hitting a six-month high. The post-election outperformance of Goldman's "cyclicals versus defensive" basket of stocks has ceased; it now trails the S&P 500 index's advance since the election. The yield on 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities jumped nearly 60 basis points in the five weeks following Nov. 8, but has since pared nearly half of that move.
"The risk for markets, ironically, may be the strength of recent macroeconomic data, which may have encouraged markets to price a more sustained improvement in GDP growth than we think likely," adds Himmelberg.
The upshot is that the market increasingly believes Trump's policies will do more to stoke inflation than buoy growth in the short run.
Jan Hatzius, Goldman's chief economist, noted separately that immigration restrictions could serve as a meaningful offset to any boost to productive capacity linked to infrastructure spending, tax reform and deregulation that could be achieved over the long haul. Net migration contributes up to one quarter of the U.S. economy's 1.75% potential growth rate, he estimates.
Higher demand and curtailed supply are a recipe for increasing price pressures.
Amid this backdrop, Himmelberg's doubling down on one of Goldman's top trades: U.S. 10-year break-even inflation rate — which is derived from the spread between the yield on Treasuries and their inflation-protected brethren — to 2.3%. It's at about 2.03% now.
"For the first time in this expansion, we suspect markets will soon be discovering and digesting a mix of low growth, rising inflation and tighter monetary policy," concludes the strategist.

I love Isabella Rossellini for having the clit to do these sex ed videos. She's not worried about her career or what people are going to think. Who knew that dolphins were so sexual? Maybe engaging in sex acts for pleasure is linked to species intelligence.
wow I had no idea they did all that! how interesting
i guess she really is as in your face as her mom -- Ingrid Bergman.
But you got to hand it to Sundance once again.
Where was this ever shown?
