A different kind of kitty girl story, much less light hearted.
I Sept 23, 2004 As every comic book geek knows, every superhero is born of a traumatic, life-changing event. Be it the death of the Uncle Ben or the full scale destruction of Krypton, those moments are what forges them. Kitty Girl is no different. The seeds of my transformation were sown by my very own arch-nemesis, a man who shall ever more be known simply as The Monster. It was the...Read On

I thought I'd try my hand at a lovemaking story :o)
Can you see it when you look at me, that look that I've been saving up for years, it says lots of things but most of all it says "I'm yours". I don't know if my heart and my eyes consulted on this before they told you, but it doesn't matter now, the truth is there to see. I try to look away from you, afraid that the message will bounce back in the reflection of your eyes and burn me, but...Read On

Sophie finally gets what she's wanted for a very long time.
So there I was. It was a typical Saturday night out. Beautiful girls -much more beautiful than me- and hunky guys lined the streets and bars.

He was a few inches taller than me, standing at around 6'3", and his eyes were a...Read On

Catholic League Blasts McCain Over Hagee
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 2/28/2008 3:50 pm
It is really quite remarkable when someone like Bill Donohue is blasting John McCain for cozying up to a "bigot" like John Hagee: "There are plenty of staunch evangelical leaders who are pro-Israel, but are not anti-Catholic. John Hagee is not one of them. Indeed, for the past few decades, he has waged an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church. For example, he likes calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'"

Japan wins Paralympic gold
Publication Date : 09-03-2014
Japan celebrated a medal rush on the first day of the Sochi Paralympics on Saturday, with Akira Kano winning the men's sitting downhill and Takeshi Suzuki finishing third as Kozo Kubo took the bronze in the men's 7.5-kilometer sitting biathlon.
It was the second Paralympic success for Kano—the 27-year-old Hokkaido native won gold in the sitting super giant slalom and bronze in the sitting downhill at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics.
Suzuki, 25, also won bronze in the sitting giant slalom at Vancouver. Suzuki is from Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture, and now resides in Hanno, Saitama Prefecture.
Kano's lower body became impaired after he was hit by a car when he was a third-year-student in primary school. He took up seated skiing after watching the event at the 1998 Nagano Paralympics.
Suzuki lost both legs after being involved in a car accident when he was a second-year primary school student. Sochi is his third Paralympic Games, after he participated in the Vancouver Games and 2006 Turin Games.
Kubo earned Japan's first medal at the Sochi Paralympics. The 32-year-old from Bihoro, Hokkaido, won the biathlon medal in his second Paralympic attempt. He finished sixth in the 12.5-kilometer race in the Vancouver Paralympics.
Kubo became unable to walk after a car accident when he was a third-year-student in high school.
Kubo, who played baseball in high school, initially sought a Paralympic berth in the wheelchair marathon event. However, after failing to be chosen for the Japan squad at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, he switched to skiing. He won the overall World Cup title in the 2012-13 season.

Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. has developed Japan's first film for use in packaging materials that uses biomass polyethylene (PE). Full-scale sales will be launched from August 2011.
In order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, Toppan Printing engages in the development of products that are environmentally friendly. This new product is a film that partially uses a raw material derived from sugarcane and has a biomass ratio of up to 40% (ratio by weight). While using a raw material derived from plants, the film retains the same performance as existing films in terms of properties such as shock resistance and ease of tearing. This product is being used for standing refill pouches for items such as hair care products.
Biomass plastic is a renewable resource that uses plant-based raw materials and can be used sustainably. It can contribute to the creation of a sustainable society as it enables a reduction in the use of fossil resources such as oil. In addition, since it is considered that the volume of CO2 generated during incineration and the volume absorbed during the growth of the plant cancel each other out, it is receiving attention as an environmentally friendly material that can reduce CO2 emissions in comparison with oil-based plastics.
As an initiative to mitigate global warming and reduce the use of oil, since 1991 Toppan Printing has been engaged in the development and commercialization of packaging materials using biomass plastics. In addition, Toppan Printing developed biomass packaging using polylactate in 2000 and it was adopted for the outer packaging for home electrical appliances. Since then, it has been used widely in sectors such as the food and clothing industries.
Polyethylene is a material that is the base for many types of flexible packaging. With the development of this biomass polyethylene film, it has become possible for the first time in Japan to provide biomass packaging materials in all areas of flexible packaging.
This product achieves a reduction in the use of oil by replacing oil-based linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with a film that partially uses LLDPE derived from sugar cane. For example, in the case of a standing refill pouch that uses the new film, by replacing part of the oil-based LLDPE that accounts for around 75% of the total material with LLDPE derived from sugar cane, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions during incineration by up to 40%(*).
The film retains the same properties and suitability for processing as existing PE film and is ideal for packaging for everyday items such as shampoo and food products such as seasonings.
Using the know-how acquired in the development of this product, Toppan Printing will aim to expand the use of biomass PE as a packaging material for other products and proactively advance the development of packaging using biomass plastics such as biomass high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polylactate, and biomass PET.
Utilizing vast expertise in printing, Toppan has diversified into eight areas of business: securities and cards, commercial printing, publications printing, packaging, High Performance Components, industrial materials, Display Related, and Semiconductor Related. They also conduct demand creation activities in pursuit of higher sales of products and services.

Investors press WH Smith to meet Waterstone
Tom Stevenson
Tom Stevenson is a North Africa reporter for Al Jazeera
Thursday 09 October 1997
A meeting between Tim Waterstone and WH Smith's board moved closer yesterday after some of the retailer's biggest shareholders told the company they disagreed with its blanket rejection of last week's takeover proposals.
It also emerged that the Waterstone camp, together with its advisers at SBC Warburg Dillon Read, were preparing a compromise proposal that would attempt to soothe investors' concerns about the level of borrowings proposed for Mr Waterstone's takeover vehicle.
The takeover team is also understood to be preparing a more flexible position on what has emerged as a further sticking point with a number of shareholders, the valuation attributed to Mr Waterstone's private retail concept, Daisy & Tom, which would be taken over by WH Smith as part of the deal.
Up to one-half of WH Smith's top investors are thought to favour a rapprochement between the two sides and have approached the company or its broker, Cazenove, to insist a meeting should take place. Jeremy Hardie, the chairman of Smiths, who has remained silent on the proposals since they were rejected, is thought likely to be a prominent figure in the renewed discussions.
WH Smith restated its rejection of Mr Waterstone's proposals yesterday and said it had no intention of meeting with its former employee. Despite the rising groundswell of opinion against its stance, the company has refused to deviate from its line that Mr Waterstone's proposals offer nothing worth discussing.
Mr Waterstone approached Mr Hardie 10 days ago with proposals that would see him replace Richard Handover as chief executive of the stationery, music and books retailer. He believed he was involved in confidential talks until a pre-emptive rejection by the retailer last Thursday put the bid on to the back foot.
The SBC Warburg-devised plan would have seen around pounds 600m of debt taken on by the company to fund a 200p handout to shareholders, the sale of the Our Price record chain and WH Smith's US operations, and a radical overhaul of the core high street chain.
Institutions seen by the Waterstone team this week are understood to have been interested in the planned changes, but some have expressed concern about an injection of debt that would see gearing rise to about 80 per cent of shareholders' funds. They are also concerned that Daisy & Tom, which recently started trading from one shop on London's King's Road, is to be acquired in exchange for too big a shareholding in the new company.
Although Warburgs believes the injection of pounds 600m of borrowings would create the most efficient capital structure for the cash-generative retailer, it is thought to be drawing up a new proposal which would see less than 200p a share being handed back to shareholders. It is also looking at plans to make any acquisition of Daisy & Tom less reliant on an up-front payment and more on an earnout which would only cost WH Smith shareholders if the concept proved successful.
Not all WH Smith's shareholders were enthusiastic about change. One leading investor said he retained doubts about the bookseller's ability to run a business of WH Smith's size. He welcomed the approach, however, for the galvanising effect it was likely to have on the company's new management.
The retailer's shares closed 5.5p lower yesterday at 386p, but are trading around 20p higher than before Mr Waterstone's approach was publicised.

Advances in Transfemoral Amputee Rehabilitation: Early Experience with Targeted Muscle Reinnervation

While myoelectric prosthetic devices have been used for decades in the upper extremities, only recently have motorized knee and ankle components proven durable and effective enough for use in the lower extremity amputee. The control schemes developed to capitalize on these prosthetic advances must take into account the biomechanical differences between upper and lower extremity function. Already a valuable adjunct for the myoelectric control of upper extremity prostheses, targeted muscle reinnervation in the transfemoral amputee offers the potential to further enhance lower extremity prosthesis control and may simultaneously address post-amputation neuroma pain. Current strategies for lower extremity prosthesis control are discussed, along with a review of the transfemoral TMR technique and early clinical experience.

There is a great tradition involving Something Awful and sex aids shaped like real women, which stretches back many years. The rise in popularity of the real doll has lead to a lot of laughs, but at times we forget the real victims. The inflatable sex doll. With this new breed of more robust, and arguably more realistic sex toys, the old favorite of the blowup doll has been left in the dust. That's why this week's Comedy Goldmine is taking the time to salute forum goon doctor thodt. You see, he refuses to conform to the demands of the sex doll industry. He takes pride in owning an inflatable girlfriend, and the two share a love which cannot be broken by advances in masturbationary tools or laughter from the common man. Let us now share their love, by spending a day in the life of Jessica, quite possibly the sexiest girl made from rubber that I've ever laid eyes upon. doctor thodt is your guide.
doctor thodt couldn't wait to tell everyone the news. "I won a blowup doll in my sexual behavior class today. It's like a wannabe Jessica Alba Sin City thing. There was a raffle (They had representatives from an adult store come in to give a seminar on sex toys) and when my name was called I was like "Shit" really loudly so I was obligated really. I'm just glad I didn't win a vibrator or nipple clamps or any of the other weird stuff they were giving away. I thought it was pretty cool actually."
Some forum goons reached the conclusion that the doll doesn't look very much like Jessica Alba.
Click on the following images to see Jessica unleashed in all her glory. A VERY SEXY WARNING: While there is no real (human) nudity contained in any of this article, it's probably best not to look at pictures of sex dolls in a public place.
If you are a sick, lonely individual, there are more pictures of Jessica hangin' loose here and here.

The first victim was 16-year-old cheerleader Lori Brownell. A student at LeRoy High School in New York, Lori passed out at a school dance late last year and woke up with symptoms resembling Tourette's Syndrome, including shaking uncontrollably and slurred speech.
In the months that followed more girls from the same school, all cheerleaders, have begun to suffer from facial tics and shaking.
By March this year, 16 cheerleaders and one boy at the school had developed the sporadic verbal outbursts and twitching that Lori had begun to endure months earlier. Some have since made full recoveries, others are still displaying symptoms.
The students have been tested for poisoning, and air and soil samples were taken from the school.
But all the tests returned normal, and doctors now say the students are most likely suffering from conversion disorder - a type of mass hysteria. Dr Robert Bartholomew, a sociologist and author who has been researching mass hysteria for more than 30 years, says similar scenes to the LeRoy school case will become more common in Australia.
The rapid growth of social media makes it difficult to isolate people with conversion disorder, for example in a classroom, he says.
"Hysteria is spread by sight and sound, but these days social media is an extension of your eyes and ears.
"Before, you could contain the situation to a certain area, like a classroom or factory.
"But if someone is posting videos and updates of what is happening or what they're experiencing on social media, even though people in the wider community are not there with the sufferers they may start to think they've been affected in some way."
As The New York Times reported of the case: "The story took off quickly, not just on the local and national news but on Facebook and autism blogs and sites devoted to mental health and environmental issues."
Mass hysteria comes in two forms, Dr Bartholomew says. The first is triggered by an extreme and sudden exposure to stress such as the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"Suddenly people around the world would smell a weird odour or hear a loud bang and there was a group consensus it must be a terrorist attack," he says. "That has been a very common scenario in the past 20 or 30 years."
The second kind is contained to smaller groups of people in the same area.
Teachers see this occur when a child in a classroom says they feel sick, leading to other classmates claiming they feel sick too, Dr Bartholomew says.
Traditionally such cases were self-contained, but he said social media meant symptoms could now spread more widely.
"The cheerleaders suffering from these symptoms in New York started posting about it on social media, which is seen by people in other classrooms and in the wider community," he says. "People start to get worried, they start looking up the symptoms on the internet and on social media, and now a nurse in the community is suffering from the same symptoms as the cheerleaders too."
Although television, radio and print media had traditionally contributed to the spread of mass scares, Dr Bartholomew says those stories were usually focused on large-scale events and tended to die down after a week.
Once stories such as the case at LeRoy High School hit social media networks, however, they take on a life of their own.
"Social media is evolving quickly and we need to be doing studies on those social networks and how they relate to the potential spread of illness," he says.
Dr Bartholomew claims some health authorities were reluctant to publicly cite mass hysteria as the cause in such cases.
"I think the big problem is the stigma attached to it," he says.
"If you say someone has an anxiety disorder, it is not a compliment. The victims feel like they are being told that it's all in their heads, but actually it's not all in their heads. The symptoms are there and they are going through something very real."
Dr Jim Buttery, an infectious diseases paediatrician with Monash Medical Centre and the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, has seen similar symptoms occur. described the case in the Medical Journal of Australia he describes one case where children receiving vaccinations against cervical cancer displayed symptoms of what he believes may have been hysteria. He says the potential public health implications of such incidents could be damaging.
Five years ago, 720 girls received the cervical cancer vaccine at a metropolitan school in Melbourne. Within two hours of vaccination, 26 girls reported symptoms including dizziness, weakness and palpitations. Tests of the girls found no basis for their symptoms and all of the girls recovered.
It was likely they had experienced a case of mass hysteria. But Dr Buttery says if people believed the girls had experienced adverse reactions to the vaccines, they could be deterred from getting the vaccines themselves and the girls affected may be reluctant to go back and get the full three doses.
"Conversion disorder tends to occur in waves of direct visualisation initially, but if it was taken up at community level thanks to social media, I think it's very reasonable to hypothesise that the social impact could be more rapid and widespread than previously," Dr Buttery says.
He believes more research is needed into the possible impact of social media on public health.

Japanese designers Nendo present new work at Art Stage gallery in Singapore this month.
Called Dancing Squares, the show will include a bookshelf, lamp, stool and table, each made up of distorted or tumbling squares.
The exhibition runs 13-16 January 2011.
Photographs are by Masayuki Hayashi.
The information that follows is from Nendo:
Nendo will show solo exhibitions "dancing squares" at Art Stage in Singapore, 13th - 16th January
"dancing squares"
We assembled square to create a sense of motion in this series of objects.
One part of the bookshelf is frozen in its cascade of tumbling planes, creating variety in the way books can be stacked.
The stool's twist endows it with visual play.
Lamps roll about but are stable, thank to their planes, and cast light in different directions.
The table leans as though falling away, but maintains its function as a table, and makes objects placed on it seem to sink into its folds and sways.
The different 'movements'make balance and unbalance overlap, as though we are watching the planes themselves dance.
EVENT: "No Boundary" at Art Stage
Address: Basement 2, Hall D at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
OPEN: January 13th – 16th / 11:30-19:00
Admission Free

Nyishi group calls bandh on Friday
Itanagar: The Nyishi Youth Welfare
Association (NYWA) has called a 24-hour Itanagar bandh from
Friday in protest against the state government`s failure to
fulfil its demand.
Earlier, the organisation called a 12-hour bandh on
December 12 after expiry of its ten days ultimatum to the
government for bringing a logical conclusion to the recent
stalemate following a derogatory remark against the Nyishi
community which was published in two national dailies on
May 4.
The re
port evoked strong reactions in the state that
witnessed a series of bandh calls and violence in the recent
past which even claimed a life on October 11.
The organisation in a release today also threatened
to continue its agitation till `justice` is delivered to
the community.
It said that all sort of commercial establishments,
offices and educational institutions will remained closed
including movement of vehicles during the bandh.
However, media, security forces, ambulance and milk
van have been exempted from the purview of the bandh, the
release added.

Celery and ham hock broth
Serves 4-6
Saturday 24 November 2012
Ham hocks are one of the tastiest, cheapest things you can cook and keep in your fridge. Good butchers and some supermarkets have ham hocks, both smoked and unsmoked.
1 ham hock, soaked overnight in cold water
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 large onion, halved
60g butter
5-6 sticks of celery, peeled if stringy and cut into rough 1cm dice
30g flour
A handful of celery leaves, chopped
Drain the ham hock and then give it a good rinse under cold water. Place it in a large saucepan with the peppercorns, bay leaf and onion, cover well with water, bring to the boil and simmer very gently for about 2-2½ hours with the lid on or until tender and just falling away from the bone. (You can cook the hocks in approximately half the time in a pressure cooker if you have one.)
Strain the stock through a fine-meshed sieve and place the hock on a plate to cool. Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan and gently cook the celery for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
Stir in the flour, then gradually add 1.2 litres of the hot stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps forming. Simmer gently for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, remove half of the ham hock from the bone and cut into rough, 1cm chunks (save the rest for another meal and the skin is great crisped up in a salad).
Add to the broth with the celery leaves; season to taste if necessary and serve.

Love it and cannot wait for more. You are a great writer.
| Guest chapter 1 . 2/5/2014
Heyyy. This is your story and written as you like. I agree. Butttt...this is not Fifty Shades story. It's Ana and Gideon. I must say that I felt sucker punched as your story progressed...Ana and Gideon story truly, Christian really had no chance and now dead, their daughter calls Gideon "daddy.' I'm new to FanFic and here for Ana CG stories. This clearly is not. Apparently, there is another category that I've read many reviewers refer to ? 'Crossfire'? If so, I agree. This should be placed there.
I'm still trying to understand the art and nature of FanFic. Honestly, some of the storylines are a little 'out there' and there are those incredibly beautifully written in keeping with the cannon of the Trilogy's characters, thereby continuing to engage us in the love story of our beloved Ana and Christian. That also includes their lovable family and friends. Sorry, but I'm moving on from this story sequel.
You are a very good writer. Continue onward. In future, let folks know so that they can choose and time spent is not begrudged. The amount of time you spend writing these stories, FREE-ly, is much appreciated. I think those who love this sort (AS & Cross) would have easier access in the right category and you would feel even more appreciated.
Perhaps, you'll write a true CG and AS story one day!
Best to your book(s) success!

Included in this week's UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas will be an event a pair of UFC elite fighters hope takes MMA to the next level.
The first MMA Draft Combine takes place Saturday as part of the Expo and is an opportunity for amateur fighters to get noticed a little bit quicker.
Created by UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis and current bantamweight contender and former featherweight champion Urijah Faber, MMA Draft has its own website devoted to upping the ante for amateur fighters.
The UFC Fan Expo takes place Friday and Saturday in conjunction with UFC 162, which takes place Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The Fan Expo takes place at the nearby Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
"I think that's the next step in the evolution of our sport – having the top amateurs celebrated like they are in football, basketball, baseball, soccer," Faber told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "You know the top guys from the college teams, you know the No. 1 draft picks and stuff like that. In MMA, it's a real crapshoot and everyone's washing dishes and mowing lawns until they're 6-0 or 7-0 as a fighter."
Davis said Faber's long standing as the founder of Sacramento's Team Alpha Male, where he consistently works with fresh talent, played a role in helping develop the idea for the program.
"He has a great amateur team – they're all super talented," Davis said this past month in Las Vegas. "So when I came to him with MMA Draft, he was all about it."
But more than anything, it's about helping the best amateur fighters get a leg up in a sport that can be hard to succeed in.
Davis and Faber both have backgrounds as elite-level college wrestlers, and when college wrestling ends for those athletes these days, many are turning to MMA.
"I really wanted to develop something to be able to give back to the wrestling community," Davis said. "So we came up with this idea to give back to the amateur athletes. MMA is nine-tenths at the amateur level, and even to be a professional athlete, you struggle most of the time. I'm struggling right now. So it's just a way to give the amateur guys a platform to be seen, to get their name out there and to really gain some traction before they start their professional career."
The dedicated MMA Draft website is used as a starting point for amateur fighters. But Faber said in some cases, he and Davis sought out top gyms and fight teams to get their amateur prospects interested in coming to Las Vegas for Saturday's combine.
Faber told MMAjunkie.com the combine will include sport-related physical tests as well as tests of mental acumen.
"We have some standardized testing like they use for basketball, football and baseball, measurements for pure athleticism, we're going to be doing interviews with a sports psychologist there, working with physical therapists," Faber said. "And we have MMA-specific testing that we've come up with to test their MMA abilities. We're going to have a ton of my peers there, top fighters and coaches and media to cover it and get some exposure to this next generation of fighters so we can build opportunities for guys and build names for guys before they become pros."
Although the MMA Draft is not an official UFC-branded event, Faber said getting the promotion on board to host the combine as part of this year's UFC Fan Expo was fairly easy. UFC co-owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta have highly recruited sons in football – which Faber believes played a role.
"I have a good relationship with (UFC President) Dana (White) and Lorenzo and I had a conference call with them and kind of explained to them what the idea was," Faber said. "Lorenzo is a big football fan. His sons and his nephews are really talented football players, and I described the website as kind of like a MaxPreps or Rivals.com, which are websites for amateur football, basketball and baseball. We're just creating content for our site that's similar for mixed martial arts. We're not associated with the UFC in any way – it's all MMA Draft, and we're holding the combine separate from the UFC and they're allowing us to be at the UFC Fan Expo. They were pretty cool about it."
And holding the event in conjunction with the UFC Fan Expo, Davis believes, will help bolster the attention placed on it not just for the amateur fighters, but for outside observers.
"Some of the top kids in the nation, we're actively recruiting ourselves," Davis said. "But luckily, the Expo is such an amazing event that most of MMA's top studs are going to be in town, anyway."
For the latest on UFC 162 and the UFC Fan Expo, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

I do like this show, but i dont like the fact that they sing because the shows main characters are dancers, not singers. And since the show is about dancing, singing on the side doesnt seem good because the songs they make are kinda trashy... dont mean to start a fight im just sharing my opinion.

I thought the episode was ok. The acting wasn't great (I've seen better in our middle-school theatre productions), and the storyline was kinda stupid, if you ask me. The dancing was kinda cool, but again I have seen better. Bella acts WAY too ditzy and it kinda hurts to watch. Zendaya is ok, and she can definitely sing, but still. Not my thing!

It is ALL FAKE! THEY DID NOT GO TO JAPAN, THE "JAPANESE" PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK THE RIGHT LANGUAGE! THEY SPOKE CHINESE! It was a racist episode and stereotypical. UMAD SHAKE IT UP? UMAD?

Why do all the good shows have to be late at night, when I'm busy?!! It doesn't make sense AT ALL. Younger kids (who have early bedtime) watch this! They prob. won't b allowed to watch it unless they have DVR or a rerun plays!

He would benefit greatly with Feye
It's time to bring in Todd from "Gold Rush!"
Oh no. We can't handle anymore good news. Causes Navb to go down again!
Oh the humanity of a bean burrito stock at 700 a share! Ha ha ha ha
Over priced here. Don't be a fool.
ZAAP WILL get the approval they need. They are the LeBron of EVs.
Watch tomorrow. This dirty stock for five years, humping the dog
Even Ramon and Ernesto wonder why their burrito stand isn't sell for a million dollars!? Insanity!
Buy here while 50 % off? Word to my Peeps!
We want the dismal failure marriage of Cardinal and Navb annulled. We MUST do the next right thing! Also no more free shares for navb corporate till we longs are compensated for the last five years. Further more I want the name of Neoprobes restored.
Feye should be MUCH MUCH higher or this is purposefully being held down by the Casino operators.
Check news on Cardinal Health.is more proof needed?
Goldberg and rest are getting 20,000 shares for free which I had to pay thousands and thousands for!
It's worse than a casino. Feye artificially being held down. Don't even get a buffet.
navb is Love!
Not a Navb. It never had a huge run up to be going down. This is Bullshirt!
Listen to db and listen to me. Don't pay this much per share, WAIT!
How much stock does he own in Amd?
I say there, #$%$ of the a Walk! Feye is on sale!
Navinonidea down down down
