"Are You Going to Obey the Stop Signs?"
Pastor Grant speaks on what it means to obey the Stop signs that God puts in our lives.
Pastor Grant speaks on what it means to obey the Stop signs that God puts in our lives.
Pastor Matt and the Christmas Choir present 'Christmas Makes Everything New'.
You and I have the benefit (faith building knowledge) of reading prophesies in the bible and seeing them fulfilled throughout history. These "things" are measurable, testable and observable. It was foretold that Jesus would come, where He would be born and that He would die for our sins. It was foretold that Israel would become a nation again, thousands of years ago. It was foretold that there would be a flood, nuclear weapons, satellite tv, etc...the only "thing" (Promise in God's Word) or prophesy left to be fulfilled before the one world religion and one world government and a world wide instituted chip in order to buy, sell or trade is the rapture of the church. If everything else has happened as God said it would, why wouldn't you believe that? Please listen to this message - Jesus is coming!
Pastor Grant Williams speaks on the wisemen and the three gifts they brought to Jesus. True Wisdom comes from God's Holy Word and we need to seek that over anything else.
The "Signs" that we are at the End of Time are everywhere. But, you have to know what the signs are to know what to look for. God loves you and I so much that He has told us in His Word since the beginning of time what those signs were. From the Jewish people returning to Israel from Russia, TV and satellite being invented (prophesied 2,000 years ago), Jerusalem in control of the Jewish people, people no longer believing in "the flood", the church believing in macro evolution and more. This week we look at these "things" that God said would take place and they are - lift up your head, your redemption is about here
Pastor Brooks does a brief history on Christmas and Carols then speaks on Mary's song. A Song of Love, a song of Faith, a Song of Hope.
Pastor Kellie Williams speaks at the Ladies Christmas Lunch about her testimony and the indescribable gift that is Jesus Christ.
Pastor Chuck preaches about being a servant of Christ.

I love the milky love juices this model expresses demonstrating how much she is excited and enjoying the shoot. A great turn on for many of us viewers. I would love to see more of this in all the shoots!
K I think this is turning out to be a most excellent week for bottom lovers, and we are only 3 days in. I don't think I can take to much more, but I am certainly going to give it a try. 8)
So damn cute & yummy!!
Emma and Iva are my two favorites of Albert Varin's models. Double trouble. Both so cute and perky. Can you imagine what would happen if you got them together? :-)
I love how their sets usually come out within a few days of each other. They're both so beautiful, and have a similar slender build, I'd love to see a set of them undressing each other and making comparisons. :)
Yes!!! It would mean a volcanic explosion... of beauty...♥ ♥ ♥
The set seemed a little skimpy but then again Emma always leaves me wanting more, more, more. Very sultry. Get it girl.
Don't kid yourself --
There are ONLY 86 pictures here --
"Skimpy" is being waaay too polite about the rip-off !!
... And skimpy sets is one reason I will not be renewing my membership. I hope MA take this on board.
I'm really sorry to hear that. "Skimpy" is an interesting word to choose though. We feature four updates every single day (six on the first of the month). Some are longer, some are shorter. There are literally THOUSANDS of photosets in the archive, I mean I can't even guess how many, has anyone ever counted? I don't see how you could ever get to the end of it. I've been here nearly three years I think, and I'm still discovering gorgeous new girls here all the time.
Never mind that back in the "good old days" of Met that everyone keeps thinking we've lost, lots of sets had 40 pictures or less.
I think its just that Emma makes you want so much more, personally I like the shorter sets , cuts down on redundancy , less is more , 4 beautiful girls a day how can anyone complain.
The enchanting Emma exudes sensuality together with an underlying sense of mischief which is all her own. She is truly the current superstar in the MetArt galaxy.
Ohhhh, but I do love Emma Sweet sets. Those eyes, that face, that lithe slender body. Love the black lingerie, especially the strapless bra. Delicious. And the set REALLY takes off when she pulls out her hair band and that beautiful tousled mane of hers is set free. So gorgeous.
Well said, I'll second that
It's no secret Abert Varin just shades as my fave photog around here & the models he has too. The sweet Emma Sweet who could never have enough sweetness is so sensual & sexy here especially with those 'I know what you want' looks. I love it :))
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Oh Emmusha, when I look at Your face I get butterflies
in my stomach and when I look at Your dream body,
my legs are shaking!!! What for Cutie are You:
perfectly angelic face;
sweet cute breasts;
skinny luscious arms;
marvellous wonderful hands;
amazing flat belly;
adorable heavenly pussy;
fantastic kissable ass to die for;
admirable long toned legs;
dreamable delicious feet.
Yes, perfection exists and You are the living example
yummy Angel...♥ ♥ ♥

Labour councillors in South Gloucestershire say that a letter from one of the district's Conservative MPs exposes the lack of influence of local backbenchers, as well as the unwillingness of Ministers to listen to them and local people.
This week members of the council's Health Scrutiny Committee were forwarded a letter from Jack Lopresti requesting the council to contact his own Tory colleague, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, to ask him to look into health provision in the district. The Committee has referred matters relating to health provision up to Mr Hunt twice in the recent past, on services promised for Frenchay and Cossham Hospitals, and on both occasions he refused to intervene.
Labour's Ian Scott (Filton ward), who chaired the committee until May, described Mr Lopresti's intervention as "extraordinary". He said:
"I find it extraordinary that a Conservative MP should be asking his local council to intervene with his colleague. You would have thought that Tory MPs would have access to their own Ministers and have the ability to bring some influence to bear on them. This letter seems to be an admission that they do not.
We already know that Mr Hunt does not listen even when we do refer decisions for his attention, as we have seen from previous incidents in the recent past when I was the chair.
When we asked Mr Hunt back in 2013 to block the NHS's decision to downgrade plans for Frenchay and move its rehabilitation beds to Southmead he refused. When we asked him earlier this year to block plans to abandon the promise of a Minor Injury Unit based at Cossham Hospital again he refused.
This letter highlights the fact that local Conservative MPs have a poor track record in influencing their own government. They appear powerless as their Health Secretary is never willing to back the Council in standing up for South Gloucestershire's health services."

International banks have cut credit lines for traders shipping food to war-torn Yemen, choking off vital supplies to the country which faces the risk of famine.
A trading source, speaking on condition of anonymity from Yemen, said Friday that supplies are shrinking because international lenders are increasingly unwilling to offer letters of credit amid security concerns in Yemen.
Yemen has been under a crippling air and sea blockade by Saudi Arabia for nearly a year as the regime in Riyadh has been engaged in a deadly campaign against the impoverished country.
The Saudi aggression and blockade, which has been meant to undermine Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, has left 21 million people out of Yemen's population of 26 million in need of humanitarian assistance.
The source said foreign banks are unwilling to process Yemen's payments because ports have turned into battlegrounds and the financial system is disrupted due to the Saudi attacks.

TAGLINE: "Blood Will Flow"
IMDB Rating: 2.5/10
"More terrifying than the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" claims the quote from 'The Independent Film Guide' on the cover. A good cover incidentally- a bloody scythe with the face of a screaming girl reflected in the blade. Finally are we going to get a no-nonsense, low budget horror that delivers the scares and gore as promised? Have a guess.
'Sickle' actually starts pretty well. In comparison to the others so far anyway. And by that, we mean that the credits are short. That's the level we've sunk to. Though what's this? The opening scene sees a young couple who are out for some action. And nothing screams youthful sexy time romance more than the filthy floor of a deserted slaughterhouse. But to each, their own. And so they get it on. But the copulating couple are not alone and are slain with vigour by Marty the caretaker.
And as the other characters are introduced, there is another surprise. The cast in this film are actually attractive, a rarity judging by the previous films we've endured. There's a party, including some completely unnecessary lipstick lesbianism that does make you wonder whether perhaps on this one occasion, the director Paul Cagney does understand his audience. Cagney- you are a dirty rat for misleading us.
A group of kids from the party decide go to the slaughterhouse for sh*ts and giggles…so let the hacking commence. Except it doesn't. The producers have found a really good location- dimly lit, dank corridors, cavernous rooms with sliding metal doors that are perfect for this type of film. So when the kids get separated and realise they are being hunted, surely the director can't lose?
Oh he's lost alright. Lost like a tearful toddler at a fairground. The film is utterly and criminally devoid of any tension, despite the promising location. We have to endure 21 minutes of kids wandering around dark corridors shouting, 'Where are you?', 'I can hear you', 'Help me'…for 21 minutes. 21 minutes for the sake of f*ck. And in all that time, no one is killed. In fact, until the last 10 minutes, the only deaths we see are the unfortunate kinky couple at the beginning. Where is the slashing in this slasher film? Why is this horror film so horrible? Why is the most terrifying thing in the film the improvised dialogue from the 'actors'? The most shocking thing about the film is the poor sound quality. Though, in retrospect, thank you sound department.
This is yet another film where you find yourself asking whether the director has ever seen a film in this genre. 'Sickle' is inexcusably, unforgivably boring. The one moment when you think the film might pick up is when one of the guys gets stuck half way out of a small window, unable to escape the killer who promptly slices him in half. But in his wisdom, the director chooses to cut away from this rare moment of interest and negate any of the drama. For he is an idiot.
Perhaps the most baffling moment though is when one of the last survivors gets cornered by the caretaking killer. As he bears down on her, having halved her window-bothering boyfriend, this nubile young lovely, in her terror, takes off her skirt. Not as a distraction, not as a weapon but just because apparently she feels that in her last moments on this earth, it would be better to be carved up in just her smalls. It's only after she kills the killer and escapes to the car of the other survivor that the penny drops- they must have filmed the final scene first. It was only half way through shooting that they realised they had a continuity problem if she mystifyingly appeared at the end of the movie in nothing but her pants. Brilliant says Cagney, just whip your skirt off at the denouement and no-one will notice. Probably assuming, rightly, that most people would have switched off by then anyway.
Our notes claim this to be unwatchable and the worst film yet. Our notes do not lie. Unlike 'The Independent Film Guide'.

Just to prove that we don't work on house projects all the time, S spent the morning of the 4th wake boarding while Feeney and I went for a run in one of our favorite Maryland parks. In contrast to our local run, the trail was nearly deserted and we ran into more deer than people.
When the Bay started to get too choppy to wake board we went inside for breakfast and then packed up and headed back to the Hive for a few hours of work. S's dad joined us and as temps reached 100 sweltering degrees they wrapped the shed in black siding paper.
buttermilk spice cake with roasted walnut cream cheese frosting, subsequently raising the inside temp to that of a toasty oven, and the guys had all the shed's siding corner pieces up and even managed to slide in the first few rounds of vinyl siding.

Kim Kardashian's New Bump: Confession That Makes Her Just Like Us
Even though Kim is so rich, famous and gorgeous she actually has problems just like the rest of us! The reality star has just admitted in a new interview that she has plenty of days when she feels bloated, uncomfortable in her outfit and just doesn't feel pretty! But you won't believe what she says she'll do — it'll make you feel so much better the next time you're feeling insecure!
Kim Kardashian really is just like us! The reality star, who is currently three months pregnant, told Elle that she actually wasn't "feeling good" about her skin-tight latex dress she was wearing on June 3 and it really didn't have to do with her morning sickness. Even though we thought Kim, 34, looked phenomenal Kim says she was feeling insecure about her expanding body and that she has plenty of days when she'll actually wears two sets of Spanx to suck in her world-famous curves! She even admitted that before she got pregnant she had days when she actually was upset that she couldn't achieve that body she wanted and she'd tell herself, "I need to be skinny!"
This just made every single girl reading this breathe a sigh of relief. Knowing that the most beautiful woman in the world has things that make her insecure is so incredibly comforting. "I mean, sometimes I'll wear something and I'll get inside and be like 'Oh my God, I want to take these shoes off,' like 'That was not normal, I can't wear these, I need to just leave and take them off. So it might look good in the picture, but I get them and then like, I've got to be normal and like unbutton my pants when I get in the car." Um, did Kim just say she'll unbutton her pants when they feel a little snug? So do we, Kim!
Kim actually went on to say that when she put on her latex dress on the day of her event, she was not feeling good about how she looked. "You know, earlier today, I was wearing these pregnancy Spanx and they were newer, so they weren't really the color tone of what I used to wear, and so you totally saw through, and I was just like 'F**k it, I'm more comfortable in that and it's just going to be one of those days'—I wasn't feeling good. But you know, sometimes I wear two pairs [of Spanx] under something or stockings—it holds you in. And when you go on all these hormones and stuff, before I felt like, you know, I was trying everything so I was getting bigger and bigger and I was like 'No, I'm not pregnant yet, I need to be skinny.' So, I was definitely insecure."
Kim's Sister Kylie Jenner Gets Carried While Wearing Heels At The Beach
Now Kim isn't the only one who will be uncomfortable in her heels because her little sister, Kylie Jenner, 17, wore a pair of super high heels while visiting Tyga, 25, on the set of his music video for "Do It Again" and she actually had to be carried across the beach! Obviously she did not think about her shoe choice before heading to the event but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of your style!
HollywoodLifers, do you unbutton your pants too when they are too tight?
— Chloe Melas

NEW YORK — In hockey, the possibility of parlaying one Stanley Cup championship into several -- a dynasty -- beckons like a siren; winning once is simply not enough.
``After a while you certainly look at yourselves as being unbeatable,`` the Islanders` Mike Bossy said. ``You fear nobody, and after a while, you have no reason to fear. You know you`re going to win, it`s just a matter of by how much. But it`s one thing to win, and totally another to repeat it. You have to be willing not only to handle pressure, you have to like it.``
``Total invincibility is what we`re talking about,`` said Boston Bruins General Manager, Harry Sinden, ``and once every decade or so, somebody seems close to it.``
In a sense, the drive to retain the Stanley Cup is something of an addiction. ``It`s almost like you develop this inbred desire to continue to dominate,`` said Jean Potvin, who played for the Islanders` first two Stanley Cup championship teams. ``I remember something (coach) Al Arbour said to us the season after we`d won our first cup. We`d played badly in a couple games, lost them both, and Al was really upset. `You should have won those games,` he told us at practice one morning, and one of the guys said, `Geez, Al, you can`t expect to win every game.` And Al just got this hard look on his face and said, `Why not?` ``
In most professional sports, the juggernaut of one season tends to withdraw politely the following season, making way for a boisterous new champion. But relinquishing the Stanley Cup after a single season is almost an admission of inadequacy.
``I think that it took most people at least three years to even acknowledge us as having what it takes to become a so-called dynasty,`` Bossy said. ``The first year we won, it was considered something of a fluke, and even when we won our third cup, there was an undercurrent that it didn`t mean so much because it was Vancouver that we beat in the final.``

3) Clarity in the presentation of the defined visual communication goals (Think of the instructor as the art director or client, were the defined goals of the assignment accomplished)
4) Class room participation, attitude (come to class on time and with an attitude ready to work, participation is required)
No work done/created for a paying job will be accepted
No work or shoot for another class can be used.
All work must be created or conceptualized for the individual assignments given.
All work must be photographed by you (unless specified)
All work must be photographed in the current semester. You are responsible for your metadata, check and update your camera metadata. (Time and date)
-You will receive an "F" for the project if the above is tested…
***Work must be handed in on the date specified.
NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS will be accepted***
Letter Grade System:
A – Mastery of the technical and conceptual issues, including participation attendance and attitude.
B – A strong grasp of the technical and conceptual issues, including participation, attendance and attitude.
C – Average understanding the technical and conceptual issues, including participation, attendance and attitude.
D – Below average, does not meet minimum requirements,
poor participation, poor attendance, poor attitude.
F – Failure to complete the assignment,
poor participation, poor attendance, poor attitude.
Extra credit is awarded only if all assignments are turned in ON TIME, and only with prior instructor approval.
Students are responsible for backing up all Projects and exercises through the last day of the semester.
Do keep all files, prints, papers and quizzes returned to you so that any discrepancies can be easily and fairly straightened out. Except in cases of actual error, final grades are permanent.
A "D" is acceptable as a passing grade if the course is to be used as a general requirement or elective, but will not transfer to another school. An "F" constitutes non completion. This grade requires the course to be retaken
and no credit is issued.
"I" – Incomplete grades are generally not given except for unusual medical hardship. If the student is unable to complete the work, it is assumed that she/he will withdraw.
"W" – An Administrative Withdraw will not be issued by the instructor. If the student wishes to withdraw, she/he is asked to first notify the instructor and then proceed to the admissions office. Please notify the instructor if at any point you decide to withdraw from the class. It is the students responsibility to know Drop/Add dates each semester and any possible refunds. See the Registrar for withdrawing and any possible refunds.
If you disappear from class and do not withdraw or contact your instructor you will receive an "F"
Since this program is a commercial photography program, critiques are handled as if the instructor was an art director or client and the student is the photographer working for that art director or client. Therefore, assignments must meet with the specific instructors guidelines and preferences only. Further, much of the critique process is subjective in nature. Much of being a professional commercial photographer involves being able to take direction. The student is given specific guidelines and is encouraged to follow them closely.
In This class I sit with you one on one and review your work giving suggestions on how to improve and move forward.
Attendance ONLINE CLASS: All work is to be turned in on or before the due date, No Late Submissions!
Communicate with me throughout the semester if something is going on, so I can help you succeed in this class.
Attendance Classroom Students
Class will begin on time. Please arrive a few minutes early. If
you are absent from class it is your responsibility to find out what was missed and make
up that work, notes, handouts, demonstrations etc. The instructor will not take
class time to assist in lab makeups, nor will come in outside of scheduled hours to do so.
2 absences will result in a final GRADE reduction of one letter grade for the semester.
Absences for which a medical or court excuse is provided (professional letterhead
required) will be recorded but not figured in the attendance/participation grade.
Likewise, one absence for which advance notice is given by phone or in person will not
be figured in the attendance grade. Any significant tardy or early departure from class
will be figured as a half absence. (4 tardies is a final grade letter reduction) Keep in
mind that this is an occupational course, and attendance is important here just as it will
be in the employment for which this course is in part designed to prepare you.
Communicate with me throughout the semester if something is going on, so I can help
you succeed in this class.
Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You are expected to have read and understood the current issue of the student handbook (published by Student Services) regarding student responsibilities and rights, and the intellectual property policy, for information about procedures and about what constitutes acceptable on-campus behavior.
• Lecture: Skills and academic principles are explained by the instructor in the classroom and through online videos and written handouts.
• Review and Practice: Students review skills by direct questioning of the instructor and skills are reviewed by student practice with various assignments. Students will practice skills in labs, at home, or in field situations.
No book is required, but these are some good books to have in your library.

Safety Procedures:
The safety procedures for the college are posted in the classroom. The procedures will be discussed during the first class meeting. Any injury or accident should be reported to the instructor immediately.
CSN POLICIES AND SERVICES - Students' Rights and Responsibilities pertaining to CSN policies and services are found at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY - EFFECTIVE Spring 2014, per the President, Instructors are no longer permitted to assign a "W" as a grade. Students must officially withdraw from the class at Admissions and Records to receive a "W". The last day to Officially Drop without a status of "W" is September 10, 2017. The last day to Officially Drop with a status of "W" is November 5, 2017. Students not officially withdrawn through Admissions & Records will receive the grade that they earned.
LATE REGISTRATION - Effective Spring 2016, CSN students will be able to register for 16-week classes during the first week of the semester. This will allow students the flexibility to drop, add, or change courses during the first week. Students are responsible for all missed coursework. There is no late registration for short-term classes as well as summer classes.
* 100% refund if withdrawal is completed prior to the first day of the session * For further information regarding tuition refunds, please refer to the 2017-2018 General Catalog & Student Handbook
STUDENT ACADEMIC WARNING/PROBATION/SUSPENSION POLICY - Effective Fall 2013, If students' cumulative GPA falls to 2.0 or lower after attempting at least 12 credits, they will receive an academic warning, so that they have time to seek help. Continued performance at 2.0 or lower in future semester course work can lead to academic probation or academic suspension. Students on academic suspension will not be able to enroll in classes for a semester. More information is available at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
DISRUPTIVE AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR - Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner in the classroom, on campus and through electronic media at all times. Disruptive and abusive conduct will not be tolerated. Students who fail to adhere to behavioral standards may be subject to discipline per CSN's Disruptive and Abusive Student policy. A copy of the complete Student Conduct Code and Disruptive and Abusive Student Policy is available for review at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
EXPLICIT CONTENT - Any content of an explicit sexual nature, (including male and female genitalia, etc.), will not be screened in class, may result in a failing grade for the assignment, and could possibly be subject to disciplinary action under CSN's Student Conduct Code Policy. A copy of the Student Conduct Code Policy is available for review at https://www.csn.edu/policies-procedures
USE OF CELL PHONES AND TEXT MESSAGING - All Cell Phones and Text Messaging shall be restricted to before and after class. All phones should be set on silent/vibrate. The Professor reserves the right to restrict all use of cell phones. Students will be required to leave class should this become a problem. Cell phone use and texting during class are prohibited.
EXITING THE CLASSROOM – REVOLVING DOOR - The classroom is not a revolving door. Continuous exiting and re-entering the classroom is not tolerated. Students who exit and re-enter the classroom excessively will be asked to leave class and schedule a conference with this professor.
MINOR CHILDREN POLICY - The primary mission of CSN is to educate students. To that end, CSN has the responsibility to provide a place of instruction that is free from distractions and conducive to learning. The presence of minor children is often a disruptive factor, not just, because a child can be noisy or active, but because even inadvertently, attention is centered on the child rather than on the teaching and learning process. The presence of minor children on campus and in its facilities also raises safety and liability issues. Therefore, appropriate restrictions must be placed on bringing minor children to CSN's campus, sites, and facilities.
A. First and foremost, CSN and its facilities (classrooms, offices, public areas, common areas and grounds) cannot be viewed at any time as a substitute for childcare arrangements. Second, at no time may minor children be unattended or unsupervised on campus for even a short period of time. Third, only currently enrolled students should be present in classrooms or lab facilities. Fourth, minor children should not be brought into work locations during an employee's work time.
B. Children under the age of eighteen, unless otherwise exempt as listed below, are not allowed in classrooms, labs, college grounds, or other college facilities except for visits while supervised by an adult. Employees and students must not allow minor children to be left unattended on campus. Minor children may not be left unattended in public areas such as the library or be left to wait or play outside a classroom or in the cafeteria while the adult is in class. Minor children may not attend class or class activities such as field trips, along with enrolled students except on very rare occasions at the discretion of instructors. Minor children may not be present at the employee's work site during the employee's assigned work hours.
C. This Policy does not preclude short visits when the minor child is accompanied by another responsible adult.
D. Individuals under the age of 18 who enroll in classes at CSN are exempt from this policy.

It doesn't happen that often, but sometimes I'll notice someone working out without headphones. It leaves me to wonder if they just forgot them, or if they actually workout without any music. Either way, I'm impressed by anyone who can get in a quality workout with musical inspiration.
If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll throw my iPod on "shuffle" and see what happens, but I usually try and find time to create the perfect arrangement of tunes to get me fired up. The selection changes on a regular basis, (especially with the continuous assortment of new artists and released singles), and I tend to switch the songs or playlists depending on my workout of the day.
When it comes down to it, there's nothing like a great 'pump up' playlist to get you moving! Try incorporating old favourites and popular chart toppers, and always throw in a little something to surprise you. Here are some of my current favourites:
1. Electrolove – Kuba Oms
2. Just Dance – Lady Gaga
3. Thunderstruck – AC/DC
4. Waking Up in Vegas – Katy Perry
5. Who's That Chick – Rihanna
6. Give Me Everything – Pitbull/Neyo
7. Starships – Nicki Minaj
8. She's Dope – Down with Webster
9. Chasing the Sun – the Wanted
10. Dynamite – Taio Cruz
11. Love is Gone – David Guetta & Chris Willis
12. Forever – Chris Brown
13. Like a G6 – Far East Movement
14. Pursuit of Happiness – Kid Cudi
15. All of the Lights – Kanye West, Rihanna, Etc.
16. Let's Go – Calvin Harris & NeYo
17. They Don't Really Care About Us – Michael Jackson
18. Say Hey (I Love You) – Michael Franti
19. Good Girls Go Bad – Cobra Starship
20. T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) – Will.I.Am ft. Mick Jagger/J.Lopez
My workouts are usually sub-par when I have to workout without music. Listening to upbeat anthems keeps me going, and with so many musics selections readily available to us, it's easy to to find new, refreshing motivation!
If you're one of those people who can workout without headphones plugged in, or you listen to the rapid pulse of your racing heartbeat – kudos to you!
But if you're like me, and love a little background noise – I'm always looking for new suggestions and playlist ideas for various workouts, and would love to hear about the tunes that fuel your workouts!

What if Virtual Reality became a thing
What if Virtual Reality became a thing?
Virtual Reality is a upcoming game form (as of writing this article) where you are fully immersed into a virtual world. So that means that you are an controller. There may be virtual realities for things that most people may or may not be able to do in their lifetime. From flying to riding dragons, you can do so many things that you can't do in virtual reality. But, some people literally plan to spend the rest of their lives inside it, which is not a good thing.
The benefits are vast! People would use virtual reality for only playing games, but there are so many uses for it. You could use it as a training course for being a doctor, lawyer, or other subjects in real life. That means you can practice surgery, and figure out how everything works without even risking a life! Once you do that, you could get a high degree in only just a few years instead of about 5-10 years. And yet, being able to drive in a high speed car, knowing that you will not die, or being able to kill somebody, and not get arrested for it can be a pleasing experience and can prevent crime rates. But, not everything is really perfect.
When people want to fully immerse into a virtual reality game for a very long time, this can dangerously affect their health. Virtual reality can be thought as being sleep, and that can easily mess up your bedtime schedule. Also, unless they have a feeding tube, their body needs exercise so that they don't look like a anorexic skeleton, or a big blob of meat. Also, if the game can stimulate pain, you would still be able to be harmed in real life, because your brain may think that you were hurt somewhere. But, the cost is more likely to be higher than the price of a XBOX 1, due to the tech that is required to make the thing.
Virtual Reality will have its benefits, and its disadvantages. But, it will still help us out in a way. So don't worry, that dream of being a super hero may just be true after all. All we are going to need is a few more years, a bit more knowledge about the brain, then we will finally have virtual reality. That will be it for the article, as I will be on my toes until it comes around. But, for people younger than 18 may not be able to use it, but that all depends on how high tech that virtual reality is. You can easily say that SAO is one of the inspirations for virtual reality. If it does come out, drop everything and let me know ASAP!

About Different Types of Processors
[Photo] About Different Types of Processors http://www.sxc.hu marinm jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('.intro .thumbnail a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4587172/78006-main_Full.jpg'); }); There are many different processors on the market. However, there are only a few that you should consider purchasing. Whether you're buying a computer off the shelf, building it from scratch, or upgrading your CPU, you must put some time and thought into which processor to buy. The choice you make today will affect your computer's speed and functionality for years to come. jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){ jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); }); }); EmailPrint Article Add to Favorites Flag Article [Photo] Types There are two primary manufacturers of computer microprocessors. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) lead the market in terms of speed and quality. Intel's desktop CPUs include Celeron, Pentium, and Core. AMD's desktop processors include Sempron, Athlon, and Phenom. Intel makes Celeron M, Pentium M, and Core mobile processors for notebooks. AMD makes mobile versions of its Sempron and Athlon, as well as the Turion mobile processor which comes in Ultra and Dual-Core versions. Both companies make both single-core and multi-core processors. Features Each processor has a clock speed which is measured in gigahertz (GHz). Also, a processor has a front side bus which connects it with the system's random access memory (RAM.) CPUs also typically have two or three levels of cache. Cache is a type of fast memory which serves as a buffer between RAM and the processor. The processor's socket type determines which motherboard it can be installed on. Function A microprocessor is a silicon chip containing millions of microscopic transistors. This chip functions as the computer's brain. It processes the instructions or operations contained within executable computer programs. Instead of taking instructions directly off of the hard drive, the processor takes its instructions from memory. This greatly increases the computer's speed. Considerations If you're thinking about upgrading your processor yourself, you must check your motherboard specs first. The CPU you install must have the same socket size as the slot on the motherboard. Also, when you install a new processor, you may need to install a heat sink and fan. This is because faster processors produce more heat than slower ones. If you fail to protect your new CPU from this heat, you may end up replacing the processor. Size When it comes to processors, size matters. Whether you're buying a new computer or upgrading your old one, you must get the fastest processor you can afford. This is because the processor will become obsolete very quickly. Choosing a 3.6 GHz processor over a 2 GHz today can buy you several years of cheap computing time. Also check the speed of the front side bus (FSB) when purchasing your new computer or CPU. A front side bus of 800 MHz or greater is essential for fast processing speeds. The processor's cache is also important. Make sure it has at least 1 MB of last level cache if your computing needs are average. If you're an extreme gamer or if you run intensive graphics programs, get the processor with the largest cache that fits your budget. There can be hundreds of dollars' difference between the cheapest processors and the most expensive ones. However, investing just a little extra cash can get you a much better processor. Benefits Getting a processor with a dual, triple, or quad core can make a significant difference in the processing power of your computer. It's like having two, three, or four separate processors installed on your computer at one time. These processors work together to make your computer multitask faster and with greater efficiency. Getting a CPU with a larger front side bus can enhance the processor's ability to communicate with RAM, which will increase your computer's overall speed.

[music] Speaking of sweet. >> Bonnie: Yes >> What you got? >> Bonnie: So there's this cotton candy maker from Japan, you can put in a hard candy like a Jolly Rancher or something like that and it'll spit out cotton candy. >> No >> Bonnie: Yeah, yeah. >> So, like you can make Jolly Rancher -- >> Bonnie: Use any hard candy. >> I saw the pictures of the cotton candy, it looks like hair, like pet fur on a stick. >> Bonnie: It's so gross, it's like a little cotton ball of -- >> It's pet fur on a stick, but if it tastes like, ya know, my cherry Jolly Rancher, then I might give it a shot. [music] Now, with the Halloween season everyone wants, ya know, what's the coolest costume they can get. CoastalContacts.com have these crazy contacts, it's for the entire eyeball, like it covers the white of your eyeballs, you can have like dragon eyes, fire eyes, monster eyes, and they're FDA approved, I don't know how that works. >> Bonnie: I don't know. >> They also offer them in prescriptions or without a prescription. I just think they're really cool, like, ya know, if I looked at you right now like -- does that scare you? [music] Alright now, also, you guys sent in so many submissions for our Crave trivia, this week we literally had over 120. >> Bonnie: That's awesome. >> The Crave nation keeps growing. >> Bonnie: I love it. >> So, why don't you help 'em out and tell 'em what the answer was to the question. >> Bonnie: So there was 2 answers to the question.

[singing] What the world needs now, sing it with me Bonnie, is love, sweet love. >> Bonnie: Hal David wrote the lyrics, right? >> Yup >> Bonnie: And the composer was Burt Bacharach, so. >> Bacharach, that's, and, ya know, a lot of you sometimes had one or the other, sometimes both, and some people that wrote, what's her name, Jackie McSheenan [assumed spelling] whe was the lady that made it popular but she had nothing to do with the writing or composition, so the winners for Crave, we've got their names here, Rangithe Joy [assumed spelling], Ron Dolard [assumed spelling], and Mr. David M., so congratulations guys, thanks for writing in.

Now, it was done to parody how ridiculous people are getting with updating on social networking sites and letting everyone know their inner secrets, but could you imagine this idea imbedded into other daily functions.

Alright guys thanks for watching Crave, you know how to get to us, check out the blog, Crave.CNET.com, send us your little pictures, everything we asked for and we'll see you guys next week. ^M00:05:18 [ Music ]

Google, AOL, Skype, Facebook, Apple, Hotmail, Skype and Yahoo Routinely Turn over Our Internet Activities and Passwords to Governments
Posted By Anders On June 11, 2013 @ 00:05 In English, Euromed | No Comments
LATEST: [1] Activist Post 10 June 2013: Main Core is the code name of a database maintained since the 1980s by the federal government of the United States. Main Core contains personal and financial data of 8 million U.S. citizens believed to be threats to national security. The data, which comes from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or court orders.
In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention. According to Christopher Ketchum, the exact kind of NSA snooping that Edward Snowden has just described was being used to feed data into the Main Core database. The [2] Northeast Intelligence Network 7 June 2013 confirms.
LATEST:[3] EUbusiness 11 June 2013: On Friday, Tte EU will demand a strong commitment from the United States to respect the rights of European citizens, following revelations that Washington is running a worldwide Internet surveillance programme which "potentially endangers the fundamental right of privacy and the data protection of EU citizens,"
The US National Security Agency (NSA) wants your very soul very badly: It wants to know your every thought, to control it and make you a small bit in its national, even global Megacomputer of controlled, standardized souls. And the users are the usual [4] satanist bankster elite of the NWO. Through their computer they want to exert [5] total mind control over a[6] brainwashed, even brainchipped world population, as [7] Nicholas Rockefeller of the Rockefeller dynasty said. Everything you do will then be steered "from above" - or in fact from very deeply below.
But until NSA Big Brother can realize this wishful dream, he has other methods to control us: The[8] ECHELON and another 40 sophisticated methods, i.a. a network of CCTV cameras to decide if you are precriminal! The NSA has a long [9] list of breaches of the constitution and of eavesdropping the US population behind it.
NSA´s [11] Bluffdale Center (right): A project of immense secrecy, Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world's communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital "pocket litter."
The NSA´s latest trick is called PRISM
The Daily Mail 10 June 2013: The 29-year-old whistleblower, Snowden, who earned £130,000 a year ($200,000), exposed chilling details of how the covert agency, based in Maryland, gathers [12] private information from people - americans and foreigners - around the world – including in Britain – using a programme called Prism.
Snowden said: 'I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.'
[13] The Telegraph 6 June 2013: The inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners Lee said the internet is facing a "major" threat from "[14] people who want to control it on the sly" through "worrying laws".
"If you can control [the internet], if you can start tweaking what people say…it's the sort of power that if you give it to a corrupt government, you give them the ability to stay in power forever."
Google, AOL, Skype, Facebook, Apple, Hotmail and Yahoo have all been caught turning over private user data to the government's spy agency, the NSA. All these companies routinely turn over the emails, voice calls, text chats, photos, files and even logins and passwords of their users, including Americans.
[16] Journalist Glenn Greenwald: A massive apparatus within the United States government secretly wants to destroy privacy and anonymity not just in the United States but around the world."
All these companies began denying any involvement with the NSA.
But what nobody is yet revealing is that all these companies are required by law to LIE to their own customers about secret government surveillance.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act makes it a federal crime for any company participating in the surveillance to publicly acknowledge the existence of that surveillance.
Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper said "information collected under this program is among the most important and valuable foreign intelligence information we collect."
[18] The New York Times: Google, Facebook, Yahoo and others simply deposit all user data at another location — a "gateway" where the NSA copies it off.
[19] The Washington Post 7 June 2013: The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies.
London's Guardian newspaper reported Friday that GCHQ, Britain's equivalent of the NSA, also has been secretly gathering intelligence from the same internet companies through an operation set up by the NSA.

NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Vornado Realty Trust,
owner of U.S. office and retail properties, said its investment
in J C Penney and a lackluster office rental market
helped drive down its quarterly results.
By Ilaina Jonas
NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Vornado Realty Trust,
owner of U.S. office and retail properties, said its investment
in J C Penney and a lackluster office rental market
helped drive down its quarterly results.
The company said on Monday said it recognized a loss of $58.7
million from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares
of its derivative position in the retailer.
"It's not very awe inspiring," said Richard Imperiale,
president of Uniplan Investment Counsel Inc.
Vornado, posted second-quarter funds from operations (FFO)
attributable to common shareholders of $166.7 million, or 89
cents per share, compared with $243.4 million, or $1.27 per
share, a year ago.
Adjusted for non-comparable items, FFO was $211.6 million, or
$1.13 per share, versus $220.3 million, or $1.15 per share, a
year ago.
FFO, a measure of REIT performance, removes the
profit-reducing effect that depreciation has on earnings.
Vornado, with office and retail property in New York,
Washington and Chicago, has seen its stock underperform that of
its peers for years. The company has been working to focus more
on its street-level retail properties and its office buildings
while putting some non-core assets up for sale.
It also owns stakes in Toys R Us as well as J.C.
Penney, which it has said it wants to keep.
For New York properties that Vornado has owned at least a
year, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, or EBITDA, rose 1.5 percent on a cash basis from a
year earlier.
Vornado continued to feel the pullback by the U.S. federal
government, particularly from the 2005 Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Commission, with EBITDA for properties in the
Washington, D.C. area falling 9.9 percent.
EBITDA for its retail properties fell 1.3 percent from a year
earlier, but EBITDA from its Merchandise Mart showroom
properties rose 7.2 percent.
Vornado will hold its first regular quarterly earnings
conference calls with industry on Tuesday.
Shares of Vornado on Monday closed down 0.1 percent at $85.60
on the New York Stock Exchange, ahead of its earnings release.
Shares rose slightly to $85.69 in light after-hours trade.
Vornado's shares are up 11.4 percent since the beginning of
the year. That trailed the 15.4 percent increase for the
benchmark MSCI US REIT index.

The law of attraction. The power of positive thinking. Seeing things as already accomplished, people already healed, life already full of abundance. These are the things we know can be true, and the main focus of the new movie 'The Secret.' There is a place inside of us that knows that we can truly have a life of happiness, health and prosperity, that anything less than that is not our true reality. So when we focus and see ourselves as healthy, and shift our thinking to attract the good things, why is it that often the final result still doesn't match our expectations?

The ACER Abstract Reasoning Test assesses student ability to use non-verbal reasoning skills. Such reasoning is widely applicable across the curriculum, and beyond school, and is related to scholastic outcomes. Such items are particularly useful when assessments need to be done independent of language skills.
Abstract items require students to solve problems by hypothesising, identifying and applying patterns and relationships presented in diagrammatic form. Evaluation of evidence is an important element in problem solution.
Five levels of testing are available for students in years 4–10+ and suitable for general population or gifted students.
All five ART tests are available on the ACER Online Assessment Reporting System (OARS) which includes online reporting.
The tests are also available in paper and pencil format for large group testing (minimum 60 candidates). Results are reported via email within 10 working days.
Tests can be delivered in their own right or can be administered as an adjunct to another program after discussion with ACER consultants.
