Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
I'm very happy for Heishi.
Now all hell will break loose with niizuma's new piece. It's going to be exactly like ashirogi sensei's piece meaning very serious competition this time on the same turf. i can't wait.
I just hope with niizuma as their competition they don't allow pcp to suffer while giving their best to the new series like they planned.

Last night, local television station KRTV interrupted regularly scheduled programming with the following emergency broadcast, accompanied by the jarring WONK-WONK-WONK of a televised crisis alert: Advertisement Civil authorities in your area have reported that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living. Follow the messages on-screen that will be updated as information becomes available. Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous. This warning applies to all areas receiving this broadcast.Oh shit, guys. It's happening. It's happening, and it's unfolding — exactly like, deep down, we all suspected it would — during your regularly scheduled pancake infomercials. (Speaking of: happy Pancake Day to all the Shrovers out there.) Only it isn't. Apparently KRTV was hacked. Advertisement The station has since released the following statement on the incident:Someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System and announced on KRTV and the CW that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" in several Montana counties.This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency.Our engineers are investigating to determine what happened and if it affected other media outlets.The Great Falls Tribune reports that at least four people placed calls to local police to see if the zombie apocalypse was, in fact, upon us.

Life existed before cell phones
August 30, 2011
One of the best ways to annoy somebody is to answer a rhetorical question.
Why do drive-thru ATMs have Braille on the keys? First, it costs more to make two slightly different ATMs than it does to make them all with Braille. Second, blind people can be passengers in cars, so Braille lettering is an unobtrusive way to accommodate them.
I also annoy people when cell phones get discussed, and somebody asks, "What did we ever do before these things?"
Sometimes I answer, "Some things take longer to do. Just watch any TV show or movie made before 1995."
An old "Cosby Show" episode shows Sondra with a nasty flu, and Claire taking advantage of the situation to spend the day with her grandchildren.
The conflict was that Claire didn't get consent before she took the children. And because Claire didn't go home, there was no way to reach her. Sondra, hopped up on cold medicine, spent the rest of the episode chasing Claire through Brooklyn over a misunderstanding. Today, Sondra would call or text Claire and the conflict is gone before the commercial break.
Other times, I answer, "We got along just fine, and I'm reminded of it every time I forget my phone at home."
Every day, I play, "Stuff Kevin leaves home with." The keys make the cut because I can't leave without driving my car, and the wallet makes the cut because I need my driver's license and money. The phone's optional, so it competes with the other optional items. On Monday, the movie rental I had to return, the package I had to mail and the drink won, and the phone sat at home.
Here's what I missed between 1 p.m. and 10 p.m.:
• Facebook updates about trivial matters.
• A text from a friend: "Hey, is the 3G network down on your phone too?" It might be, but it's not an issue for me.
• A missed call from that same friend, presumably about the same thing since they left no voicemail.
• Followup text: "Apparently, an optic cable that got cut and it affected 3G in our area. Should be fixed soon." Problem solved. You're welcome.
• A pair of texts from friends saying hi. I reached them both the next day, and they weren't offended at my late response.
In short, I missed nothing, and I was a little more productive at work.
I went to the movies with a friend years ago. I turned off my phone and suggested she do the same. She responded, "My mom may try to call me with an emergency." I held back, but I wanted to respond, "Your mom lives in Albuquerque. If you're so concerned about emergencies, you shouldn't live three hours away from her."
The problem is the mindset that we need our phones, and the convoluted logic we'll adopt to make them necessary. I say that, and people get mad.
Maybe I'd be safer with, "I don't know."

Brush Fire Damages Home
A home is damaged after a brush fire nearly engulfs it late this afternoon.
Firefighters say it happened shortly after 4:00 p.m. in the 5100 block of Englewood Avenue -- a person reported a fire had started in a line of bushes and spread to the attic of a nearby home.
Crews were able to knock down the fire, and save the home, which they say is still inhabitable.
Investigators will be out trying to determine what caused the fire.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The 2009-10 edition of the Lady Spartans of Emery High opened their new season with a 60-43 victory at North Sevier last Tuesday night.
After trailing in the ball game throughout the first quarter, Emery had a good second quarter to take control of the game and then gradually pulled away in what turned out to be an easy victory.
Coming into this season, it was thought that Emery could be pretty good because of the two players that returned to play in the middle and that thought was reinforced with their play in the opening game. Senior Abbie Kay and junior Taylor Mann scored at will in the middle to lead Emery to the win.
Kay, one of the most dominant players last season in the state tournament, finished the night with 17 points, six rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot. Taylor Mann, standing more than 6 foot tall and with a lengthy reach, finished the night with 22 points, eight rebounds including four offensive rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Emery trailed 14-10 after the first quarter but then outscored the Wolves 27-13 in the second period to lead by 10 points at the half. Kay scored nine points in the second and Mann scored 10 points as Emery went inside time and time again. Kay, to show her versatility, also shot and scored behind the 3-point line.
Emery won the third period 16-9 and the final period 9-7. Emery shot 41 percent on 2-points shots, 39 percent on 3-point shots and 53 percent at the free throw line. Emery had 33 rebounds in the game including 12 offensive rebounds. Emery had 20 steals in the game and blocked three shots.
Also starting in the game were Tayler Jewkes, Markette Tanner and Jessica Murray. Jewkes finished with eight points, three assists and three steals in playing the point guard position. Tanner scored four points and pulled down three offensive rebounds. Murray scored eight points, had five steals and six rebounds and dished out three assists.
Also seeing playing time in the game were Makiah Sherman, Blayr Jeffs, Brooke Jensen, Shailee Stokes and Kim Oldroyd. Jensen pulled down six rebounds while Stokes had a couple of steals.
Coach Steven Gordon was happy with the win and thought that team played well in spurts. One concern is Abbie Kay and her tendency to play defense on the wrong side of the court. Kay last season often found herself in foul trouble and this season started the same way. Kay fouled out of the game and had to sit for periods of time in the second quarter.
Emery will host Carbon High this Thursday night at the Spartan Center in a non-region contest. Carbon always brings a high energy, pressure defensive team to the court and so the game will be a good test for Emery. Sophomores start at 3:30 p.m. followed by the JV team and varsity at 7 p.m.

Hmm, i forgot about that.. it seems to react to her emotions.. The temperature of the water.. and the rain amount.. So i wonder if she could make it colder by having a cold emotion.. O.o
Nice find.
maybe when she get mad a convection proses takes place and boils the water
but even if she can freeze water it will still be a different magical proses that gray because he uses ice make and makes ice out of nothing she would be freezing existing water if she can do it at all
How are the celestial mages summoning keys made? And well, they stay in a spirit world, right?
Think we will get an arc where lucy and possibly some of her guild members are in the spirit world? O.o
*edit* .. Is it the celestial spirit king who makes all the keys? or the spirit itself? o.O If that is true, then how do they get to the Fairy Tail's world?

i think the spirits them self make a key
the spirit king may have a key but the user most have realy strong magic to use it (maby lucy looong in the future)
I have a question! What is the purpose of this thread? The other ones were created to keep the section's from being cluttered with too many threads. Yes, it is to answer questions, but it is just making this section harder to stay alive.
I Love You!
and yeah i was thinking of kimimaro, which is out of the question, because we shouldnt associate FT with other manga.. and in your case, cartoons, that crystal DS is very ben10! LOL!
and shut up, no homo in that line "unite something.." lol!

Am I the only who sees that after the injuries the last couple of years Cammalleri is not the player he used to be. He is not really a 6 million dollar guy. Its too much cap for the pop.
Topping it all off Calgary gives up another 2nd rounder also and now makes it a when are they going to realize its time to rebuild they are going to have a spiral that makes ours look like super fun times.
Makes me sad I long for a meaning full BofA but don't see it happening for ten years now.

I will give some examples:
- First, say your patient is a 57-year-old -6.00 myope who is spectacle dependent, you can sign him to cataract surgery as a certainly if you do a vitrectomy. If you do scleral buckling, there is a 90% likelihood that he will be surgically repaired and need only a minor modification of his glasses.
- Second, any surgical procedure has a risk of failure. In my experience, dealing with both my cases and many referred cases, it is very clear that a failed scleral buckle for retinal reattachment requires a simple vitrectomy whereas a failed vitrectomy is often very complicated requiring silicone oil and scleral buckling.

Patients who have shallow subretinal fluid do not necessarily need drainage of fluid if the buckle elements are appropriately placed. There is a higher risk for retinal perforation or incarceration in this setting. Additionally, patients with an inferotemporal dialysis often do not need drainage. An anterior chamber tap can be very helpful in reducing the intraocular pressure during surgery.
|Asked on Sep 15, 2012 by Anonymous
|Answered by Dr. Ed Ryan
There are three main advantages:
- First, removing most of the subretinal fluid brings the retina closer to the wall of the eye and will allow you to tell if your indentation is adequately placed and increase the chances of the rest of the fluid resorbing.
- Second, in the case of macula-off detachments, cryotherapy can be applied at this point in time with a reduced risk of pigment cells being dispersed under the macula.
- Third, in the case of a fairly bullous detachment, this gives space in the eye for the injection of a gas bubble which can act as an internal tamponade.

There are really three steps: knowing the anatomy, knowing the possible abnormalities you may be looking at, and knowing the registration of the image (the top, bottom, left and right of the image). Using this information you need to visualize all the cross-sections that are possible and assemble them in your mind.
As an exercise, take a Bosc pear. Most of us would recognize the anatomy of this pear. With your knife, make thin slices of the pear vertically from the top to the bottom. Look at the slices from all angles. Reassemble the pear in your mind from the thin slices. Now slice your pear horizontally in thin slices and do the same exercise. In this example, the knife is the cut of the beam, the pear has a recognizable anatomy, and the registration of the visualization is the position of the slice (left, right, top, bottom).

Cases will sometimes present where the view is limited, common in complex cases. Any number of things can cause the view to be obscured during surgery. Using the endoscope allows you to regain your view and continue surgery often without more invasive actions.
Assuming one sees the value of mastering this instrument, the best place to learn is in a wet lab environment, rather than the pressure of the operating room.

RIM Loses No. 1 Canadian Smartphone Shipments Spot to Apple for 2011
Tiffany Kaiser
March 23, 2012 12:43 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
This is a particularly hard blow to RIM, which is based in Canada and had the No. 1 spot until last year
Apple seems to be encroaching on Research-In-Motion's (RIM) territory by surpassing the telecommunications
company's smartphone shipments
in Canada.
RIM, which is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, traditionally had many Canadian smartphone customers due to RIM being a Canadian company. In 2008, RIM outsold Apple's iPhone by 5-to-1 in Canada, and in 2010, BlackBerry outsold the iPhone by 500,000.
But this customer loyalty was challenged recently when Apple surpassed RIM for the No. 1 spot in smartphone shipments. Last year, RIM shipped 2.08 million BlackBerrys in Canada while Apple shipped 2.85 million iOS-powered devices.
According to
, RIM failed to promote its devices once the iPhone came around. After years of being known for innovative smartphones, the company felt it didn't need to promote anymore. But the iPhone began to take over,
offering more apps
and a user-friendly experience. BlackBerry soon fell way behind, with Google's Android operating system coupled with Samsung, HTC and Motorola phones being Apple's only true competitor.
"For RIM, in its home market, to lose that No. 1 position to iPhone is strategically important," said Paul Taylor, a fund manager at BMO Harris Private Banking in Toronto. "It does identify, even with a home-country bias, how consumers are responding to the greater functionality of the iPhone."
RIM's sales in Canada fell 23 percent from Q3 2010 to Q3 2011 while U.S. sales dropped 45 percent. RIM's worldwide revenue fell 5.9 percent.
According to Bloomberg analysts, RIM will likely report a fourth-quarter 2011 profit drop of more than half to 82 cents a share. They also expect an 18 percent drop in sales to $4.53 billion.
Apple, on the other hand, more than doubled its profit to $13.1 billion and had a 73 percent rise in revenue to $46.3 billion.
Some of RIM's troubles can likely be attributed to its
worldwide blackout last fall
, where customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Asia, the United States and Canada lost their BlackBerry services for four days. This outraged many customers who depend on their BlackBerry devices for business as well as personal use. RIM blamed the outage on
a system upgrade
The outage coupled with BlackBerry's lack of apps and user-friendly features has put it behind in the mobile race, but it's not the end for RIM entirely. The mobile company still has some loyal customers in Canada, including the Royal Bank of Canada, the Bank of Nova Scotia, the Bank of Montreal, and Toronto-Dominion Bank, where all continue to issue BlackBerry's to their employees.

The original owner of the vehicle claimed she did not sell the vehicle to Hernandez.
Police say Hernandez signed his name on the car's title as the buyer of the vehicle.
He was arrested and taken to the Washington County Detention Center.

A solution for all your business needs.
I was interviewing the head of a label-making company the other day and asked him to explain what his company does. It delivers solutions, he told me. Funny, that's just what the company that provides copying and filing services for law firms told me. And the company that does IT work for others. If you talked only to companies that specialize in business-to-business products and services, you'd think America made just one thing: solutions. Some of this is undoubtedly because America makes fewer tangible objects than it used to, but some is just sloppy business jargon. I suppose these folks mean that they are responsive to customer needs and they can customize whatever they do for whatever you need. That could be, in the case of the label maker, storing your label inventory on site instead of at the customer's location. But if companies want to distinguish themselves in a crowded marketplace, they might do better to just get to the point.

By Jeff Amy/The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood says Google appears to be removing online videos that give instructions on how to buy drugs without a prescription.
Hood threatened legal action against Google last week, saying the Internet giant wasn't doing enough to stop sales without prescriptions and was even profiting by selling ads next to the YouTube videos. Google owns YouTube.
Digital Citizens Alliance, a Washington, D.C., group that has aligned with Hood on this issue, says that when it searches on YouTube for "buy tramadol without a prescription," the number of hits for that painkiller have fallen from about 900 to about 460 in roughly the past week.
Hood, a Democrat, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Google is taking down content.
"We think they're reacting to the publicity on it," Hood said.
Google declined to say if had removed material because of Hood's call. The company says it has talked to Hood about when and why it removes content.
"We routinely remove videos that are flagged for violating YouTube's Guidelines regarding dangerous or illegal content," Google spokesman Aaron Stein said.
Google paid $500 million to the federal government in 2011 to settle claims over ads sold to pharmacies that were illegally shipping drugs into the United States.
Tom Galvin, the executive director of Digital Citizens Alliance, said Google's response is not yet sufficient.
"I wish it was, but it's not," Galvin said. "Google is treating this a little bit like a PR problem and scrubbing the results."
Galvin said his group believes Google could monitor any video that mentions how to buy drugs without a prescription.
"We're not talking about hundreds of thousands of videos a day," he said. "We're talking about hundreds of videos a day."
Galvin said Digital Citizens Alliance isn't ready to reveal its own financial backers. The group's website says it's supported by private citizens, health care companies, drug companies, "creative industries" and Internet safety groups. Galvin is also identified as a senior partner at a public relations firm called 463 Communications.
Hood said he still plans a panel presentation at a meeting of attorneys general next week in Boston focusing on Google's behavior. He also said he has sent a letter instructing the Mountain View, Calif., company to preserve evidence of videos or search results that it removes.
Hood had demanded that Google CEO Larry Page attend that meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General, but Google has told the association Page won't attend. Hood said he's had no direct contact with Google since a news conference last week. Galvin said he had been in contact with Google, but wouldn't disclose what he and the company discussed.

If Linda Goodnight had a theme song, it would start, "Well I was born in a small town..." Growing up in Prague, Oklahoma, she dabbled in poetry, made up stories in her head, and read every book she could get her hands on --- including GONE WITH THE WIND, which she credits with jumpstarting her own writing (or rewriting) career. THE MEMORY HOUSE is the first installment in her Honey Ridge series; set in the small town of Honey Ridge, Tennessee, it's a tale of tender love and a house that's rich with secrets and brimming with sweet possibilities. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Bronwyn Miller, Goodnight opens up about the real-life tragedy that inspired her to write THE MEMORY HOUSE and how writing it helped her deal with her own recent loss. She also shares great advice for young authors, as well as generous insight into what she's working on next.
Any Marie Bostwick book is like reading a 300-page Hallmark card. You'll be inspired, laugh and, perhaps, shed a tear --- and tuck it away to read again or share with a friend. In THE SECOND SISTER, Bostwick's protagonist, Lucy Toomey, manages the 2016 presidential campaign to success. She can do anything…except mend the relationship with her estranged, disabled sister. But can Lucy go home again and start over? Bostwick talks with Bookreporter.com's Dean Murphy about the craft of writing, quilting, her life as an author, and the power of the written word. Write on!

Katherine Center is the author of four novels about love and family, and her writing has appeared in multiple publications and anthologies. Her latest book, HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS, follows newly divorced Helen Carpenter as she embarks on a wilderness survival course and discovers that sometimes you have to leave things behind in order to find yourself. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Alexis Burling, Center shares her own experience taking a wilderness survival course in her 20s and what it taught her about the way people grow. And it's not only Center's endings that are happy: She talks about why she's more interested in resilience than defeat, and the lovely way she uses others' wisdom to inspire her kids every day.

Sylvia True was born in Manchester, England to German refugees, who moved to the U.S. when she was five. She has been a high school science teacher for over 20 years, and now she (and readers!) welcomes her debut novel, THE WEDNESDAY GROUP. It's the "unputdownable" story of five women, who meet each week in therapy to discuss the trials of being married to sex addicts. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Bronwyn Miller, True talks about why she felt compelled to write a story about addiction from a fresh --- and often overlooked --- angle, the reason she's so interested in how people experience shame, and how writing about it helps her resolve those feelings in her own life.
Mar 20, 2015
Susan Crawford is a debut author who, in addition to teaching and writing, is involved in many impressive literary extracurricular activities --- including participating in two critique groups. THE POCKET WIFE is her first full-length novel, and it's about Dana Catrell, a bipolar woman in the throes of mania, who must piece together the shards of her broken memory in order to figure out who killed her neighbor. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Norah Piehl, Crawford talks about why she decided to write a psychological thriller, the challenges of matching her writing to Dana's state(s) of mind, and why there's no such thing, really, as a reliable narrator. She also recommends some great books for anyone interested in further exploring bipolar disorder.

The world's best hotels.Get the list.
HOWARD: But another thing is TripAdvisor. Have you ever been to TripAdvisor? Neat site. TripAdvisor is where your fellow travelers tell you a hotel may be rated three stars but it's really a place that the rats carry the furniture around.So you find out what people really think about a hotel by going to TripAdvisor. And it will steer you right.
O'BRIEN: So people have used it, offer up their own little reviews?
HOWARD: Exactly.So you look for the compilation of reviews. You could take the best hotel in the world and somebody's going to be somebody who just no matter what you give them they're not going to like it. But if you see review after review that says the hotel stinks, I don't care how many stars somebody gave it, you go with what the TripAdvisor fellow poster said.

See Keira's ring

Keira Knightley's people confirmed last week that she and James Righton are engaged. They were out together, hand in hand, with ring, in London this week. I love that she can't contain her happiness, not even when confronted by the paps. I guess bridal bliss is the same, famous or not.
Can't see it on full detail but it looks classic and elegant and not Timberlakey, the standard by which I am judging engagement situations now. Just because it's big, doesn't mean it's attractive. And or functional. Kind of like a penis.
Now Keira's is the wedding dress I'm dying to see.

Millions of dollars are on the line, and his less than stellar reputation. Isn't it good enough for you that he already incriminated himself by saying he didnt know the rule?
You understand this before you enter any tournament. All players agree to it and understand it going in.
Golf is about honestly. You don't hold when the ref's not looking. You don't try to bend the rules for your benefit. This is why all kids should play golf. Its a great life education. It helps make kids trustworthy.
"Character" is what you do when no one is looking. Golf is the epitome of this.
You can't compare it to other sports in this respect. You can't compare it to any other aspect of life. Non golfers have a hard time grasping it and they constantly make comparisons to other sports. These are moot points.
I am telling you this because I have played golf for 45 years. If you don't play it, and play it the way its supposed to be played. (and some don't) I guess you just can't understand it.
You guys would be surprised how often pro golfers give up tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars by calling violations on themselves.
Brian Davis called a violation on hislef at the Heritage that cost him winning the tournamant. No one would have known id he didn't call it on himself. Greg Norman called on on himself and DQ'd himself from a tournament several years ago.

Need More Colors!
"These are hands down thee most comfy shoes I own. I wore them all summer (& now they're filthy) & my feet felt fine. I am prone to bone spur pain & so I was really excited about how cushy these were. The only thing I don't like is how quickly they got dirty because of the light color & that they are a canvas. I would recommend Scotch-guarding them before wearing them. I wish they had these in as many colors/patterns as those Toms. I'd be hooked for sure. They run wide which is great because the length of my foot is an 8.5 but I can never find shoes that size wide enough so I end up having to buy a 9.5 & even sometimes 10 & they're way too long. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone."

I am a Physical Education teacher and I purchased these beanbags to use in my throwing and catching unit. After 1 week of classes several of the beanbags had torn. I contacted customer services and they said they would look in to any defects, but never contacted me after that. I was not satisfied with this purchase and would not recommend this item to others.

Study and develop a solid foundation in studio skills and a broad understanding of the history of art.
About the Major
Art Majors emphasize in either studio art or art history. Courses offer a wide range of possibilities in the studio – from traditional media to digital imaging. Courses taught in art history travel from prehistory to contemporary art criticism. After a core of design, drawing, art history and criticism is complete, students choose courses to fit their personal needs and interests.
The Art Department features studio classrooms for ceramics, drawing, 2-D design, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture, along with lecture and seminar rooms for art history. Digital imaging classes are taught in two different Mac computer labs located in separate buildings on the campus.
About the Minor
A minor in Art consists of students seeking some knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts, and those who want a vocational experience in the creative arts or crafts, can take courses without prerequisites in painting, ceramics, crafts, printmaking and sculpture, as well as art history.
Departmental Honors
- Earn an overall grade point average of 3.50
- Earn a 3.50 grade point average in all art courses
- Complete with distinction a major project consisting of a graduation exhibition or a research paper during the senior year
Outreach & Engaged Learning
Art exhibitions, open to the public, are held in Hardman Gallery and contribute to the local community's arts and culture scene. Each year, the department presents a faculty exhibition, four visiting professional exhibitions, one all-student exhibition and senior project exhibitions for graduating seniors. Students have the opportunity to enroll in gallery internships to gain hands-on experience in the operation and management of gallery exhibitions. Possibilities for internships include Hardman Gallery and any of several local museums.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Seniors will present to the Art faculty and complete a major project, consisting of a graduation exhibition for the studio emphasis or a research paper for the art history emphasis. Other opportunities include independent study in art theory, practice or research for students who present clarity of purpose and unusual ability in art, as well as the Problems in Art Criticism course that investigates the origins, nature and functions of visual arts to develop criteria or aesthetic judgment.
In the Classroom
The Art Department faculty has created a challenging program in art characterized by small class and individual attention to students that emphasizes a solid foundation in studio skills and a broad understanding of the history of art. The faculty's areas of expertise and interests are diverse, allowing a wide range of possibilities in the studio and in the study of art.
Beyond Mercer
Mercer's Art students follow graduate or professional programs in studio art or art history.
- Archaeology

|In response to Re: Tie toilet pipe into line outside?
: I want to know if you can tie a toilet pipe in to the line outside by just digging the area to be connected to and up to the house where the new line will come from. (Will we be able to connect the Tee without being able to move the old pipe around?)The old plastic pipe runs right past the site where the new toilet will be. It will be impossible because of the layout of the basement to tie in on the inside of the house. My hubby is at work and I would like to start digging for him if this is feasable. Thanks!
As long as the pipe outside is 3" or larger and it is the building sewer,Yes it is ok. Use a wye fitting and bring 3" into the house. vent the stool with a 2" pipe, PVC or ABS. You can use no hub clamps to make the connections. put a piece of pipe the same size as you are tying into in each end of the wye (6") will be fine. then use no hub clamps to connect the wye to the building sewer drain.

In a tough year for precious-metals investors, a pair of specialists at HSBC don't see much changing for the rest of 2013, at least when it comes to the price of silver.
HSBC's James Steel and Howard Wen predict in an Aug. 5 note that the metal's price — down about 35% this year — is likely to hover between $17 to $23 per ounce for the remainder of 2013.
Sandwiching the recent price of $19.70 is the duo's way of accounting for rising supply of the metal alongside the dampening effect of Federal Reserve policy shifts and weaker demand from exchange-traded funds.
As goes gold, so, too, at least to a great extent, goes silver. The fear of higher interest rates has investors abandoning gold this year. Here's what silver's price looks like versus gold since 2001.
On the plus side for silver are higher demand in jewelry, industrial applications, coin and bar sales and India, the world's biggest silver market, but none of those are enough, in the firm's view, to counteract this year's negative trends.
The macroeconomic climate is key, especially investors' propensity to gird for higher interest rates. But demand from exchange-traded funds is another factor worth watching.
Here, things have held up remarkably well compared to gold, where SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) has shed more than $20 billion to investor outflows, according to XTF.com data. But weakness is still the theme of 2013. From Steel and Wen:
Investor sentiment is a key determinant of silver prices, especially in the short term. Investor demand has effectively absorbed excess physical
silver created by rising mine output, weak industrial demand, falling jewelry purchases and the plunge in photographic consumption. Silver exchange traded funds (ETFs) have absorbed sizable amounts of bullion in just a few years, reaching 608moz in holdings by year end 2012. Unlike gold-ETFs which registered huge liquidation this year, silver-ETFs have seen no such decline this year and are up c10moz year to date to 618moz….

For instance, a study I was involved in focused on assessing help seeking, therapeutic alliance, and satisfaction with services among monolingual Spanish speaking Latinas receiving behavioral health services. Another important area of interest is on the development and psychometric evaluation of assessment instruments for monolingual Spanish speaking Latinos. I am interested in conducting research on natural recovery from substance use in the monolingual Spanish speaking and bilingual Latino populations living in the U.S. and in developing and testing culturally sensitive treatment protocols for Latinos affected with substance use disorders. Another area of interest is program evaluation.
Specialized Terms: Hispanics/Latinos; Mental Health; Natural Recovery; Substance Abuse/Alcohol Abuse; Cross-cultural psychology; Test development and standardization

Though in the mean time, if they delay in taking that step, one could always make their own mold of a fig and cast it in clear resin - for personal use only, of course. This would have the added benefit of being able to tint it whatever color you wanted...
Though it certainly wouldn't be cheap.

From surfing the longest left hand wave in the world to trekking through the Andes to visit villages where ancient traditions continue to still exist, Peru is the ideal location for adventure sports. More than 12,000 lakes, mountains with eternal snows that rise over 6,000 metres into the heavens and the deepest canyons in the world are part of the adrenaline rush that Peru has to offer.
With its diverse landscape and multi-climate terrain, Peru offers a wealth of natural outdoor adventures for year-round enjoyment.
Peru is a veritable paradise for hikers. The highland spine of the country includes valleys, plains and massifs which feature trekking circuits varying in degrees of difficulty. To trek Peru is to journey through incredibly breathtaking Andean countryside with a backdrop of everlastingly white mountains and crystal clear lakes. Walk along the Inca Trail and discover the network of roads built by the Incas to unite their empire and see the culture of communities that adorn the pathways.
After the Himalayas, the Andes are the highest mountains in the world. Areas such as Huascaran National Park provide world class opportunities for adventure and mountain-oriented tourism, with more than 50 peaks at over 19,000 feet including Peru's highest peak Huascaran. The Peruvian Andes feature mountains of different technical difficulty levels- from high to medium to easy – as well as the chance to make first assaults and the opportunity to open new climbing routes.
The Peruvian coastline is bathed by Pacific waves meaning the water temperature is warm all year round. If you go north, the best surfing beaches are Cabo Blanco, Mancora, Lobitos, Chicama (famous for having the longest left hand wave in the world), Huanchaco and Pacasmayo. In the centre of the country, great surf beaches include Punta Rocas – the site of one World Qualifying Series surfing tournament; Pico Alto, whose waves are compared to those in Hawaii and Punta Hermosa.
The Peruvian Andes and their plunging canyons turn Peru into a magnificent stage for rafting and kayaking. The most renowned rivers are the Apurimac in Apurimac (class II and V), the Cotahuasi in Arequipa (class V) and the Tambopata in the jungle. For kayaking, the best place is Lake Titicaca (Puno) - the highest navigable lake in the world.
