A California 5-year-old who suffered a mysterious runny nose for six months finally managed to blow out the cause: a 1.5-inch-long safety pin. Katelyn Powell of Hemet said three different doctors determined her 5-year-old daughter, Khloe Russell, was suffering from sinus infections and prescribed antibiotics. "About six months ago, her nose just started [running] out of this one side. Green, green, green constantly and it stunk," Powell told KABC-TV.
She said the antibiotics had no effect on Khloe's nose. "We went home, did 10 days of medication, didn't work," Powell said. "We took her even to the dentist because we thought it was her teeth — nothing." The mother said the answer finally came last weekend when her brother, Khloe's uncle, had the girl blow her nose. "My brother was like, 'Your nose, it's disgusting. Blow your nose, blow your nose.' And she blows it and out comes the safety pin," Powell said.
The pin, measuring about 1.5 inches long, was black and partially disintegrated. "It was a huge object. It was bigger than her nose," Powell said. "We were horrified. I was like, 'Did you put this up there?' She did, but she forgot to tell me." Powell said reports indicating her daughter got the pin stuck up her nose while building a castle were erroneous.
"She found a safety pin and being a kid wanted to stick it up there to see how far it would go and thought she dropped it not realizing it had lodged itself in her nose. We went to the same doctor and to urgent cares contracted through our doctors when there wasn't an available appointment. All the doctors looked up her nose but didn't see anything. My daughter didn't mention anything because she didn't realize it had gone into her nose," Powell wrote in the comments to this UPI story.

All the Women I Amby Reba McEntire
When Reba McEntire released Keep on Loving You in 2009, it debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 and Country charts simultaneously; it scored three Top 20 singles including a number one, and despite mixed reviews, it went gold. All the Women I Am is an attempt to follow that success, and prove that despite her long career in a fickle marketplace, she can still run with contemporary country's young mavericks. Nowhere is this more evident than on the album's first single, "Turn on the Radio," which borrows heavily from Carrie Underwood's uptempo, rollicking interpretation of country pop
ock. Beginning with a distorted, '80s-sounding hard rock guitar riff, it contains a slew of synths and a female backing chorus. McEntire offers her throatiest contralto and references texting, Twitter, and club DJs in the lyrics. While Underwood is the obvious reference point, those who can remember it can go all the way back to Shania Twain's Come on Over album for the big, cavernous drum sounds producer Dan Huff gets and for the hook in the refrain. The track is followed by a contemporary country interpretation of "If I Were a Boy" --yes, the Beyonce hit, though here it attempts to be a soft rock power ballad. The natural-sounding balladry of "Somebody's Chelsea" (that has its roots in a scene from the film P.S. I Love You), "The Day She Got Divorced," and the sassy, bluesy, "A Little Want To" all contain McEntire's trademark warmth and authority.

the editorial review posted gets a one star rating, while All The Women I Am gets a five. Why would one compare Reba's iconoic style as a knock off of on-the-scene newbies like Underwood ( nothing against Carrie), but Reba's time tested loyalty to country music is rewarded ten-fold by the adoration of her fans. McEntire's ability to evolve her music to the times is parallel to how down-home people the nation over continue to make America what country music is founded upon.

Featuring several mass-murdering authors, two fraternal writers at the head of a football-hooligan ring and a poet who crafts his lines in the air with sky writing, Nazi Literature in the Americas details the lives of a rich cast of characters from one of the most extraordinarily fecund imaginations in world literature. Written with acerbic wit and virtuosic flair, this encyclopaedic cavalcade of fictional pan-American authors is the terrifyingly humorous and remarkably inventive masterpiece which made Bolaño famous throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
'One of the most exhilarating, intense and dangerous voices to emerge from South America . . . [Nazi Literature in the Americas] is a parade of delusional, mediocre, vicious and pitiable poetasters, a scabrous parlour game that reveals much about literature, power and complicity. Very funny indeed.' Scotland on Sunday
'The triumphant posthumous entrance of Roberto Bolaño into the English-language literary firmament has been one of the sensations of the decade.' Sunday Times
'The best and weirdest kind of literary game . . . This artful alternate history of modern literature, stitched together from loose ends, half-told stories and deft episodes of pastiche, is a strangely profound place to get lost.' Financial Times
Roberto Bolaño

If this time of year gets you down, then just look at these little faces and you won't help but smile from the inside out. Even the least pleasant animals have cute babies. Take this baby hyena for instance.
Imagine being pregnant twice as long! Momma rhinos do it. And the babes weigh 55-100 lbs! Ouch!
Did you know there are only two kinds of hippo left? The name translates as "horse of the river" and they are the third-largest land mammal. This little cutie doesn't scare me though!
It's not surprise that giraffe's are the tallest living animals being born 6 feet tall on average. They are 1 of 2 living animals with ossicones on their head which are like antlers or horns, but are actually neither.
Male elephants are the largest land animal and the only surviving member of their order. The 2 (or 3 depending on who you ask) kinds of elephants are listed as vulnerable and endangered. Save the elephants so we can see more frizzy-haired cuties!
Gorillas make nests on the ground and the young stay in the nests with their mothers until about 3 years of age when they make their own nest near their mothers.
A typical moose eats 70 lbs of feed each day. They are excellent swimmers and can even dive down to get vegetation at the bottom of a body of water.
There are 8 species of bears throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Bears can occupy their dens and sleep for a few months during the winter. But they do not actually hibernate.
The white-tailed deer, or Bambi as my kids call them, can be found as far south as Central America as a native species but have also been introduced to many other regions. Until today I had no idea that other types of deer even existed.
There are several hundred breeds of sheep that are typically categorized by the type of wool they create. There are also sheep meat but how can we even think about that with this little cutie on our screen.
Wild boar eat almost as many varied foods as we do. And an adult can eat over 4,000 calories each day!
You work too hard for your money to throw it all away on full price when you don't have to!

An interview with the director of "Beach Rats" and "It Felt Like Love."
Q. Just a note to let you know how wonderful my family (including three boys of 17 to 23) found "Hoop Dreams" and yet how disappointed we are that there are only three theaters showing that film in ALL of southern California! We have observed that the local theater chain regularly ignores films like "Do the Right Thing" to say nothing of "Roger and Me." We cannot believe that such a well made and well received film as "Hoop Dreams" is unavailable to most viewers. Why is this film getting so little exposure? (Paul Evans, Newport Beach, Calif.)
A. Actually, for a documentary, "Hoop Dreams" is doing quite well, and will be one of the top-grossing docs of recent years. But you are quite right that many theater chains write off large segments of their market as suitable only for action and mainstream product. More ambitious or challenging films (documentary, art, foreign, independent) are red-lined into a few big cities and college towns, and the rest of the country is considered dumb or dumber, I guess. Try calling the booker of your local chain, for all the good it will do.
Q. My wife and I just watched "Speed" for the second time on home video, and want to know if you caught the same edit snafu as we did. Early in the movie, Keanu Reeves shoots Jeff Daniels in the LEFT leg to free him from Dennis Hopper in the parking lot. The next scene shows Daniels and Reeves getting accolades from the city and Daniels has his cane in his RIGHT hand and a bandage on his RIGHT leg. At the end of the following scene (in the bar celebrating), Daniels leaves with the cane back in his left hand while he favors his LEFT leg. (Forget that both legs seem just perfect as he enters the window to Hopper's home the next morning in full SWAT gear). Also, why does Hopper's holding the phone with his right hand against his left ear seem so unnatural? I know his left thumb was blown off, but I've yet to find anyone who will put a phone in their right hand and raise it crossover style to their left ear to talk. Believe me, I've trying this on people for a few weeks! Does it strike you as odd? (Gary G. Naeyaert, Lansing, Mich.)
A. Not as odd as it probably does to the people you've been trying it on.
Q. I am considering purchasing a video laserdisc player. Will present laserdisc software become obsolete when HDTV arrives? Although I expect laserdiscs that are now manufactured to be compatible with HDTV, will there be "new and improved" discs made? Should I buy now or wait? (Richard Lombardi, Berwyn, Ill.)
A. For an expert answer, I went to Fred Thomas of Mills Custom Audio & Video in Buffalo Grove, Ill., who installed my home video theater. His reply: "Buy now and enjoy the laserdisc format as it exists, because software for HDTV will be very long in coming. The HDTV format will be digital video and will be backwards compatible (which means it will be able to play your existing laserdiscs). Your current laserdiscs and VHS tapes won't play on HDTV at the same quality as HDTV software, but will be greatly enhanced over the way they look now. Also, it will be years before HDTV technology is solidly in place to make it available to the general public."

How many PayPal transactions with Free Account?Asked by Fernando on October 06, 2015 at 01:40 AM
I'm about to launch a Wix site and I need my users to fill out a form, upload an image and make a PayPal payment.
I'm not expecting to get more than 100 monthly submissions.
Since each submission will necessarily have a PayPal payment, if I have 90 monthly submissions, can I also have 90 monthly PayPal payments? (With the free account).
Thank you very much,
JotForm Support

Claim Dennis' Profile
[email protected]
Dennis Lehane is the acclaimed master of the new noir. His novels include the New York Times best-sellers The Given Day, Gone, Baby, Gone, Mystic River, and Shutter Island, as well as Sacred, Prayers for Rain, Darkness, Take My Hand, A Drink Before the War and Coronado, a collection of short stories and a play.
His latest book Moonlight Mile (William Morrow), is an explosive tale of integrity and vengeance. This brilliant sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone heralds the long-awaited return of beloved private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Gone, Baby, Gone was made into the hit major motion picture in 2006 of the same name.
Mystic River was a finalist for the 2001 PEN/Winship Award and won both the Anthony Award and the Barry Award for Best Novel, the Dilys Award from the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association and the Massachusetts Book Award in Fiction from the Massachusetts Center for the Book. A Drink Before the War won the Shamus Award for Best First Novel.
Three of Lehane's books have been made into hit movies: Shutter Island (directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, 2010); the big screen debut of Gone, Baby, Gone (directed by Ben Affleck, 2006); and the award-winning film adaptation of Mystic River (directed by Clint Eastwood, 2003).
Lehane was born and raised in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked as a counselor with mentally handicapped and abused children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos, worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers. His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance to tend bar. Lehane and his wife, Angie, divide their time between Boston and the Gulf Coast of Florida.

I m a 22 year old girl, haven't had much life experience because when i was 12 years old my life kinda just stopped and i had to go through ''tough treatment'' because i had scoliosis. I turned into a very shy insecur girl and i didn't had many friends, even tho i was beautiful, i was scared people would bully me so i never told anyone and till this day i still deal with me feeling indifferent with my peers. Last this guy took me out on a ''date'' and i guess he liked me and wanted to get to know me better, i pushed him away because i was very insecure and i don't have my life together, he saw that as a turnoff and thought i was lazy and not ''a high achiever'' like he was or didn't had many friends, he said i didn't deserve him and i felt even more awful, he said there are no exuses in life and basically lowered me to a 'booty call'' status. I didn't had sex with him and he couldnt get why since im from a ''lower'' class, i should... matter of fact, im black, he is white. This situation made me more insecure and i dont ever want to date anymore. , he said i was ''lifeless'' and not productive. Why? why didn't he just leave me alone instead of making me feel awful?
Most Helpful Guy
Its horrible the way he treated you... maybe it was out of spite. Maybe he just wanted a preppy cheerleader or something... Its hard to say but its clear that there isn't much reason to dwel on this.
You need to feel a bit more secure and confident.
I know how destructive those experiences, like the one you had, can be. (I had my fair share of problems.) If you feel insecure even making new friends can make you freak out. (Do they like me do they wanna be friends and meet up?) With dates its even worse isn't it?
What you could try do is just focus on doing things you like and trying to become the person you want to be. Thats what im doing i love traveling so i am. Im trying to complete my studies etc etc. So maybe you can do the same. It helped me a lot and keeps me from relapsing into depression.
And don't worrie too much about what people think think about what you think about yourself.00|00|0

The easiest way to begin the communication and adoption process is by filling out an adoption application.
He is insecure and has high anxiety. He needs regular exercise, medication (Prozac) and relaxation training. It is VERY URGENT that he finds the family or rescue that was meant for him ASAP. Rusty has the potential to be a great and happy dog. This beautiful boy has so much personality and spirit and will be a joy for the right person. He needs a home with a fenced in yard, no other pets or children. His adopter needs to be someone who is familiar with his breed who is capable of building his confidence, socializing him more and decreasing his anxiety/stress. Playing fetch, going for walks, snuggling and sleeping under the covers are some of his favorite things. He has been my beloved boy for 5 years but I am not capable of giving him the support and environment that he needs to thrive. Adoption fee negotiable. Possibly will help with food/costs for the right rescue/home. If I cannot find him a good environment soon I will have no choice but to euthanize him.
Adoption Fee: $150.00

The family of retired asbestos worker received £62,000 after their mother's death from mesothelioma.
Mrs A sadly died on 24 June 2006 after a very short illness. She had been a very fit and active 76 year old woman who enjoyed an independent life until she became ill in April 2006. Mrs A was admitted to hospital on 24 May 2006 but sadly died only a month later. She was diagnosed in hospital as suffering from the asbestos related cancer, mesothelioma.
Mrs A had worked for the Urastone Company Limited at the British Uralite asbestos factory in Lower Higham in Kent. She worked on the production line and later as a supervisor. She was involved in the production of many asbestos based products and was exposed to very high levels of asbestos exposure as a result.
An inquest into Mrs A's death was concluded on 8 September 2006. The Coroner reached a verdict that she had died as a result of the asbestos related disease mesothelioma.
Mrs A's children instructed Irwin Mitchell in September 2006. Investigations were undertaken to identify an insurer for the Urastone Company Ltd which had gone out of business some years earlier. Despite resistance from the insurer for the company, it was established that Axa was responsible for the liabilities of Urastone.
Independent medical evidence was obtained and the claim was valued. Settlement was reached by negotiation without the need for a trial.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos, our expert mesothelioma lawyers could help you claim compensation. See our Asbestos-Related Disease Claims Guide for more information.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/10/2012 (1758 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Provincial health authorities urged Manitobans Friday to take precautions when cleaning mouse droppings as they confirmed a rare death from hantavirus.
A middle-aged Winnipegger died of the viral lung infection last week. It was the first hantavirus fatality in the province since 2000.
Health officials refused to identify him.
Dr. Richard Rusk, a provincial medical officer of health, said officials are not certain whether the man was infected at home or at his cottage. He apparently cleaned up after mice in both places in recent weeks.
The health official refused to identify the cottage community, except to say it was on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. "If you pinpoint a specific community our worry is that you create a lot of panic within that community when this is a very rare occurrence," he said.
In Canada, hantavirus occurs mainly in the four western provinces. There have been about 70 recorded cases of the disease across the nation.
People who contract the infection will suffer severe flu-like symptoms. The symptoms develop within one to six weeks of exposure. Prompt treatment is imperative since the mortality rate is about 50 per cent.
"So, if you're feeling like this is the worst flu and you've had that sort of exposure (to mice droppings), then definitely you don't want to say I'm going to be able to fight this off," Rusk said.
Past surveys in Manitoba have shown about 11 per cent of deer mice have been infected with the virus, a 2006 Manitoba fact sheet says.
Health officials warn people not to vacuum or sweep mouse droppings as that can stir up dust that can be inhaled and attack the lungs. It's better to dampen the droppings with disinfectant and remove them with a damp mop or cloth.
Rusk said the province is setting traps "in the local vicinity" of the Winnipeg man's home and cottage to try to pinpoint the virus.
The latest death is the third recorded in Manitoba from hantavirus. There have been only four lab-confirmed cases of it since record-keeping began in 1999. Deaths occurred in 1999, 2000 and this past week. There was a case in 2007, and that person recovered.
There is no vaccine for hantavirus. If someone becomes ill with the disease, doctors will try to keep the patient's lungs working while antiviral drugs kick in. Patients may end up in intensive care.
There has been no documentation in North America of the virus being spread from person to person, nor is it spread from pets or livestock. However, cats and dogs may bring infected mice into contact with humans.
How to protect yourself
What is hantavirus? Hantavirus infection is a rare viral disease found in the urine, saliva or droppings of infected deer mice. It attacks people's lungs.
How is it spread? The virus is spread to people when they breathe in air or dust contaminated by deer mouse saliva, urine or feces, or they rub their eyes, mouth or broken skin with infected deer mouse droppings.
What are the symptoms? Symptoms are flu-like and include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, diarrhea, abdominal pain and shortness of breath.
How common is it? There have been four cases and three deaths in Manitoba since 1999.
What precautions can you take?
Avoid disturbing areas of rodent infestation;
Seal homes and cabins so mice can't enter;
Air out enclosed areas or closed-up buildings before entering;
Wear gloves and masks when cleaning nests, droppings and areas that may be contaminated;
Dampen areas contaminated with mouse droppings with bleach disinfectant and remove droppings with a damp mop or cloth;
Wash your hands after cleanup;
Put hay, wood and compost piles as far as possible from homes;
Store pet food and water so mice can't get to them.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by viman96, Nov 25, 2013.
Washington had more drives than yards in the 2nd half (6drives, 5yards)
I had a cowboys poster here jump all over me this season for being critical of rg3. The guy IS NOT a pocket passer.
He is a one trick pony. He struggles reading defenses and looks to run. A running QB with 2 bad legs is a recipe for disaster.
I said it then and I'll say it now, he will last maybe 6-7 seasons as a starter.
I'm glad they blew all of those picks on him.
Robert looks kind of lost and confused. Pouty.
Shanahan looks frustrated, disappointed, confused, overwhelmed.
Watching all of that in their facial expressions was fun last night.
They aren't having any fun.
Its always a good day when the Skins lose. Better day when they look bad while losing.
i miss last season (and the first few games this season) when the skins fans were here telling us how the read option was no gimmick and was here to stay because it could not be defended
aahhhh.... memories

India had piled up a score of 469 runs in the first innings and Australia seemed to be comfortable in handling the Indian attack which was missing Anil Kumble due to an injury.
MS Dhoni, the acting captain, turned to the debutant Amit Mishra to deliver the goods. Mishra, in an astonishing spell of leg spin in the final session of day two, tilted the game in India's favour, claiming the wickets of Simon Katich and Michael Clarke.
The leggie continued to trouble the Australian middle order and took a five-for in his debut match against the mighty Aussies.
He also added two wickets to his name in the second innings.India went on to win the test match 320 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Trampota and transmi
Let Donald trump again began to lag behind Hillary Clinton, but a record number of viewers/listeners (100 million!) the presidential debate we have here on long island, at Hofstra University, half an hour from my house, became a blockbuster solely because of the participation of trump's political parvenus, the impostor and the brawler, which, in the words of the poet, attracted the love of space, hear the call of the future. Plus the expected October surprise, which began already in September in a wide range from new York to publicly swoon Hillary Clinton to the terrorist acts in Minnesota, new Jersey and Manhattan, and what still awaits us in the remaining month and a half? I would refer to Kierkegaard — fear and trembling, attributing these words to one of the contestants, and to the alarming tension in the country and the world.
What is now obvious: Hillary Clinton is opposed to not only the Republican candidate, but a dynamic, abruptly changing the situation is quite different now than when she started, it seemed, victorious campaign for the White house. Has changed not only the world around has changed — physically and mentally — she. In short, without going into explanation, it has something to lose, but Trump has nothing to lose. This is his advantage as an outsider. Most importantly: he is not to touch, as in "twenty-one", to avoid vertigo from termproxy and, as the Americans say, not to sweep yourself feet, trump the great master. That's right: Mr. goodwrench. For there is no greater enemy to man than himself. Especially if that person is the trump.
That's why none of the scientist, journalist or futurist will not dare to stake its credibility and to predict the outcome of this unprecedented and grueling, attrition (especially for Hillary), the presidential race. And because I'm in this vibrating, fluid situation where predictable is that the unpredictable, decide to turn off the political highway on the side of the trail — linguistic — in the hope to entertain the reader and at the same time to distract from the fight for the White house. Although atleka and again we need Donald trump — he's never boring.
Campania Naum Telesina
And I will do so with the prompts and visual signal of my old, with the St. Petersburg times, friend Nahum Alesina, who now lives at once in two States, Georgia and Florida. Geek high purity, and therefore very successful gentleman here we have, in America, with fifty different patents, some with names that give me bursts of an inferiority complex, but with remarkable not just surviving, but also aggravated it in the immigration sense of the Russian language. Distance to the ocean from our original homeland and steep linguistic isolation in codeasily environment, let him in it like a fish in water, not only excommunicated and not weaned him from the language of Alma mater, but quite the contrary, what I'm going to provide irrefutable evidence. In connection with trump — his powerful invasion not only in American but also in other languages, including Russian. To the extent that we can talk about TransAsia world age — so much went into it of new words from the root "tramp" or parodic, slightly distorted paraphrase.
And it's true, the name of his extremely successful — short, lapidary and only, not only its carrier, which, being eccentric and egocentric, strongly sticks out his superego, assigning your name to everything that was created or bought from the Trump Tower in the heart of Manhattan on Fifth Avenue to other buildings across America, as well as casinos, hotels, Golf courses, airplanes, and so on. and so on. I verbs that Donald trump is a modern twist, "Mr. Twister, businessman and banker, owner of factories, Newspapers, steamships, decided at leisure" — no, "not to go round the world" — significant adjustments to Marshak — take it higher-to become President of the United States, or — in the terminology of another Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov — "Chairman of the globe".
Composed by my St. Petersburg-Florida-Georgian explanatory dictionary of other so called "Trampoline and transmi" and an attempt by inertia, as well as fairness and balance for the sake of writing a sequel to "Clintonia and clintonism" was much less successful, due to the lower effectiveness of both the names "Clinton" and both of its carriers. Well, Yes, "Billary Clinton" — is that the only punning game with dual abbreviation of the name of two politicians — a former and perhaps, the grandmother in TWAIN said, the future.
"My goal was not clouded common sense and commercial interest with English and Russian letters and words: how the word "trump" can fit into the Russian language, the author writes in an ironic Preface to his "trump-tolkoviy". — I began to fit the Russian letters to the rhizome "trump", thus extending its semantic field, giving "transman" some interpretation. Then I got this game my friends and they sent me a wonderful. I hope that Trump our contribution will be counted in the judgement of the Nations (elections), and we — for the development of the Russian language in the American environment."
English trump is a pretty complex word: trumpet (hence trumper trumpeter), trump (and this is played up differently "Is our Trump trump?"), trumpery — tinsel ("Is Trump trumpery?"). However, russkoyazichnii pronounce and write English/American Trump as a "trump." In reverse transcription in English turns Tramp. Tramp in English but also has several core values, including, for example, "stomp". And here already the jokes have advanced new Americans of Russian origin, such as "Trump, tramp Hillary?".
Lowered driven by Naum Zeleninym circle puns based on the slang meaning of the English trump. Claims against the author, I have no humor often falls below the belt and doesn't mince words.
But it's time to move from a bilingual to a purely Russian word formation, where not all equal, but come across real gems — thank Nahum Celesio his comrades, and they supported his initiative and, using the world wide web has made an enormous contribution to his collection.
Trump tararam!
Let's start, however, with camouflaged Russian obscenities. What is not a euphemism, if it becomes a meme and included in the Golden Fund of the Russian idiomatic language? Very selectively:
Well, trump with her (him)!
Trump your mother!
Tramp-ass — mindless supporter of trump
Paternity, mottramite — to tear off, to defeat an opponent (eg. in a dispute, fight).
Trampus — a) genitals trump; b) the opponent is trump, for example., "Forty trampus arrested after the rally";) kiss trump sex, trump, for example. "Trampus me, trump, trampus!"; g) the results of the election if trump loses; d) promises trump, eg. "forty barrels trampus".
Trenwick — a diminutive of "trampy"; here need a reminder: Senator Marco Rubio during the debate hinted at the small size of the penis trump.
Trump as a measure of the politically incorrect, in which trump accused his opponents. One trump two trump and so on.
Traplike — figurative, verbal, physical, slap trump
Trappatoni (ironic, mocking) an apology from trump, which you get with him
Wormley — a supporter, a believer in trump party rallies (like "Church-going")
Zatrapezny view — unlike transantiago. Transitny — impressive as trump
Sacrament — dinner companion — a supporter of trump
Trampler — a staunch supporter of trump is dedicated to Trump; eg. "order of tamplierov"
Transacton — a) mass electorate trump; b) office workers trump
Tranist — an active supporter, a fan of trump
Trampedach — a consistent supporter of trump
Tripotent — impotent supporter of trump
Trampota — chatter bot Trump, talking in the style of trump; "do trampota". The same values of trampauline
Trump tararam — speech trump, the hype around the trump
Tramp! — great!
Hot! In the sense that in the "Explanatory dictionary of transmov" I found the word, which is to me a direct or tangential relationship.
Trumbology — the science of trump, which barely can be attributed to our Elena Klepikova Moscow the book "Donald trump. The battle for the White house"
Tampawady — the Trump, which is can be attributed to us with Lena Klepikova
Transm — views, philosophy of trump and transmi — aphorisms trump (see the last section of the aforementioned book called "Jokes from Donald trump", which shows his chosen maxims. Across temperly.)
Already used trampage political luck trump: public fainting Hillary Clinton to the terrorist acts that increase the rating of trump without any effort on his part.
Of course, that the mutual affection trump and Putin could not be the subject of verbal surveys, Putin's former fellow countryman of Leningrad Naum Telesina. However, rather objectivist, non-judgment fun without the banter. Judge for yourself:
Trumpetist — combines policy trump & Putin
Trampolinist — a supporter of the Union, trump and Putin
Trampolin symbiosis, the friendship of presidents. Relationships trump and Putin or President (if) "reset" of relations between their countries.
Finally, the curtain, rampinini, subjunctive, hypothetical jokes and puns on the occasion of the victory of trump in the presidential election. Of course, from different points of view: trepanation and mestranol, that is tranportation:
Tremoleda — victory trump in the election
Trumpesni — the festival trump if he wins
Trampled — lunch in honor of the inauguration of the trump
Trumpalaike — on the principle of "Reaganomics": the economy after the alleged arrival of the White house trump
Trumpery country Trumpery — US presidential cadence of trump (if it happens)
Victory trump from the opposite point of view:
Trumpets — any peak event, a stalemate "yell help" in assessing a fierce opponent of trump. Eg. victory or defeat of trump and, accordingly, the state of the U.S. after the election: "All of us trumpets!", "Trumpets snuck up on me", "Country trumpet!"
Well, the wait is long before the execution of the desires of some and fears of others — nothing at all. During this time, the reader has the opportunity to fill the "Explanatory dictionary of trump" his own discoveries and revelations.

Feckenham is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Redditch in Worcestershire, England. It lies some some 4 miles (6 km) southwest of the town of Redditch and some 11 miles (18 km) east of the city of Worcester. It has a population of 670 and its immediate area is the location of notable royal manors that cover over 1,000 years of English history documented in many royal charters and Acts of Parliament. At its greatest period, the historic Forest of Feckenham stretched to the River Avon in the south, to the city of Worcester in the south-west and in 1389 employed Geoffrey Chaucer as Clerk of Works and Keeper of the Lodge.
Feckenham in the 21st century is a rural community with a traditional English village green, and is a starting point for several bridle ways, established country walks, and rambling routes based on Ordnance Survey maps, including the long-distance public footpath, The Monarch's Way, that passes nearby.
Feckenham was originally an ancient parish partly in the Blackenhurst Hundred and partly in the Halfshire Hundred of Worcestershire, England.
It was made a civil parish in 1866 and from 1894 until 1933 it was a parish in the Feckenham Rural District. It became part of the Redditch Urban District in 1933. Since 1974 it has been part of the Wychavon District, first in the county of Hereford and Worcester, and then, since 1998, in Worcestershire again.
For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Feckenham.
From around 1790 and during the industrial revolution, Feckenham and Redditch were well known for the manufacture of needles and fish-hooks. Cycles and motors have also been manufactured in the area. Agriculture is still a major activity.

While we're still years away from backyard wind turbines and integrated solar panel rooftops, the majority of Canadians are getting serious about greening their homes. And that's good news for the building industry. In fact, according to the recently released TD Canada Trust Green Home Poll, 72% of Canadians would pay more for an earth-friendly house or condo. Their reasons? To lower their energy bills, reap the health benefits of non-toxic living spaces or reduce their environmental impact.
"There's definitely been more of a demand [for green renovation] because it's more in the public eye. There's more social awareness and people are genuinely trying to make better decisions," says James Buduhan, owner of Winnipeg-based Urban Zen Developments Ltd.
That said, 29% of those polled would like to undertake a green home renovation but don't know where to start.
"Clients often say, 'I want to make the right decision but where do I go?'" says Buduhan. "There's such a matrix of information out there. Almost everything is [labeled] green now so people don't know where to begin."
That's where a building professional who's knowledgeable in the latest green technologies and trends can help their customers achieve their environmental goals and get the most out of their investment.
For example, a client may want to better insulate their home, but they don't know where to start or what product to use, be it fiberglass insulation, soy-based spray foam or natural cotton batting made with recycled denim. Eco-savvy builders can help their clients evaluate the green and ungreen aspects of each product and figure out which one best suits their needs and budget.
The good news is that there are green renovation projects suited for almost any budget. Some simple projects include using low- or no-VOC paints or even truly green wall finishes such as natural earthen clay plaster; upgrading light fixtures with LEDs or CFLs; installing dual flush toilets or an on-demand tankless hot water heater; and air sealing a home.
Medium-sized renovation projects might include upgrading windows and doors; installing bamboo or other sustainable flooring; insulating the basement or refinishing the concrete slab to resemble polished marble; changing to a high efficiency furnace and/or cooling system; and refacing kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them.
Of course if you're doing a full renovation or an addition, that's when you can get really green. "It's great to buy low-flush toilets and bamboo flooring but that's not what's really greening your renovation," says David Males, president of Northern Edge Construction Services Ltd. in Toronto. "It's about your building envelope and how you're heating and cooling the space." Pricey projects include installing a geothermal unit, in-floor heating, or solar panels. Or the project may simply entail "building it right," says Christopher Phillips, owner of Toronto-based Greening Homes Ltd., by removing all the old elements of a home—such as lead-paint encrusted baseboards, old carpets, poor insulation, leaky windows and knob and tube wiring—and replacing it with low-VOC finishes, eco-drywall and insulation, LED spotlights, new windows and ecologically-refinished hardwood floors. "You end up with a similar looking space but with energy-efficient lighting, better insulation and non-toxic products," says Phillips.
While green renovations are better for the planet, they're also good for your client's pocketbook. While the upfront costs can be higher, the operating costs of the client's building become lower. What's more, green renovations have the potential to add real dollars to a home or building when it comes time to re-sell.
It's also good for business. While the green renovation marketplace is still growing, building professionals can make a name for themselves providing services for clients with chemical sensitivities or young children, for example, or those who simply want to do right by the planet.

Hail the Great Meow Woof
Season 2, Episode 3a
February 17, 1999
Previous Episode
Next Episode
Directed by
Scott Wood, Derek Drymon, Gary Goldstein
Written by
Dean Stefan
"Hail the Great Meow Woof" is an episode in season two. In this episode, CatDog are worshiped by island natives.
In a windy day, Dog assembles a kite while Cat reads a book in his chair. Dog lets go of the kite without a string and chases it. As Dog chases the kite approaching the pier, he jumps over the Greasers and grabs onto the kite.
In a tropical island, we see island natives chanting Rancid. Two followers gift Rancid a food offering shaped like his head. CatDog lands into the nose of a statue of Rancid and loses the kite. The statue of Rancid crumbles into rubble. After CatDog comes out of the rubble, Cat apologizes the natives. The natives begin to worship CatDog as if they are gods. Rancid wakes up from his sleep as he sees CatDog and few natives in his hut. Rancid tells CatDog to leave but the natives push him outside, splattering his offering. As he sees his statue gone, CatDog and the natives gets rid of Rancid from the village. Cat thinks of something built at the site of Rancid's statue.
Furious that CatDog is worshiped instead of him, Rancid goes to the Cave of the Ancients. He obtains ancient magic powdered herbs capable of transforming people. The next scene, CatDog sits in a clam shell with a statue of themselves over them. Thinking that they are an ordinary CatDog, Dog tells Cat that they should leave the island. Rancid returns with the herbs. Cat performs a magic trick, ending with the natives cheering after their performance. Rancid shoots the powdered herbs at a lizard native, turning her into a dragon. The transformed lizards breathes fire at a hut before reverting into her original appearance. Rancid tells CatDog if they can fly. Cat flaps his arms exhaustively, with no flying. The natives get upset at CatDog. Rancid tells the natives that CatDog are fake gods. Rancid and the natives chase CatDog.
CatDog swings into a tree, which makes them fall down and bananas fall into them. Rancid blows powder at CatDog. As CatDog keeps running, they turn into animals while arguing over who was to blame. Rancid accidentally trips on a banana peel, and his powder falls at him, turning him into a mouse. CatDog reverts into their original appearances and continue running. As they reach to a cliff, they are surrounded by the natives and Rancid. Dog finds his kite going towards them, and he grabs on it, leaving the island. CatDog crashes into the Greasers preparing to eat a sandwich. The Greasers beat up Cat while Dog holds on to the kite.
Goofs Edit
Dog's mouth doesn't move when he says "What did we do now, Cat?", his face is fixed in a confused.

text: MARY PEMBERTONANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â¿¿ An Alaskan chose Earth Day on Thursday to tell a multinational mining company to rethink its plans to develop a huge copper and gold mine near the world's best wild salmon streams. Verner Wilson attended Anglo American PLC's annual shareholder meeting in London to deliver the message, as well as a Natural Resources Defense Council petition with 100,000 signatures urging the mining company to divest itself of the Pebble Mine in southwest Alaska. Wilson told Anglo American shareholders and executives that the Bristol Bay salmon fishery is a global resource and the fight will continue to protect it. "When I went up and raised my hand, I conveyed the message that 80 percent of Bristol Bay residents oppose the mine," said Wilson, who is a commercial fisherman and outreach coordinator for the anti-Pebble group Nunamta Aulukestai, which means "caretakers of the land" in Yup'ik Eskimo. Wilson made his comments while participating in a teleconference in Anchorage after Thursday's meeting. He was to be joined by other anti-Pebble forces in London but ash from an erupting Iceland volcano prevented travel. Wilson was vacationing in Paris before the volcano erupted. The anti-Pebble forces don't speak for everybody who lives near the proposed mine in southwest Alaska, said Lisa Reimers, who resides 12 miles from Pebble and works for the lliamna village corporation. She and several others representing eight villages nearest to the mine traveled to Anchorage to make their voices heard. Reimers said they want the process to go forward. "There is no economy out in our villages. Our villages are dying," she said. "We have to look at an economic driver like Pebble." Anglo American is working in a 50/50 partnership with Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd., a Canadian mining company, to develop the mine. The companies are planning on beginning permitting next year.

Telefonica Brasil S.ADividend Yield: 5.80% Telefonica Brasil S.A (NYSE: VIV) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.80%. Telefonica Brasil S.A. provides fixed-line telecommunications services to residential and commercial customers in Brazil. The company has a P/E ratio of 6.48. The average volume for Telefonica Brasil S.A has been 1,145,600 shares per day over the past 30 days. Telefonica Brasil S.A has a market cap of $29.9 billion and is part of the telecommunications industry. Shares are up 10.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Telefonica Brasil S.A as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- VIV's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.18 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.13, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The gross profit margin for TELEFONICA BRASIL SA is currently very high, coming in at 85.20%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.67% is above that of the industry average.
- VIV, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 6.6%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, TELEFONICA BRASIL SA has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

Tim Cook says he has no problem porting Apple apps to Android
0. phoneArena posted on 28 May 2013, 22:47
Tim Cook has been letting loose a string of pretty interesting soundbytes so far during his talk at the AllThingsD D11 conference. He has talked about Google Glass, Apple's APIs, and the fabled iPhablet, but maybe the most interesting quote of the day was his comment on the possibility of Apple possibly porting its apps to Android. It wasn't an admission that it would happen, but Cook was far more accepting of the idea than you might think...

So, what are you talking about exactly?

Samsungs browser is good but chrome, and safari are better. Safarsi cut copy paste, text to speech, built in dictionary, and reader feature for text reflow put the stock Sammy browser away. I can't believe Sammy's browser still has no text reflow. That bites.

May happen sooner then later (But not right now at least). Why? Apple has accepted that fact that the thermonuclear war is over and it could not win because it was
1. MAD ( Mutual Assured Destruction) if Apple was to win every patent war then it would have a monopoly and assure it own demise once antitrust regulators saw this happening
( Lawyers with political asperations )
2. Apple understand that it wold be very profitable if it could get it's software on the dominating platform ( there is no shame with this it's good business sense) so why not throw little hints here and there for later reference. ( we always said we would do this)
3. We need Samsung - Sharp, TSMC etc.. all combine don't have the production capabilities and low price per component like Samsung which produces everything in house. So admitting that we might consider porting our apps to Android ( Which right now is Primarily Samsung) may help us negotiate better prices and save face.
4. Apple realized it has established such a Good brand That to tamper with it in anyway will cause a sever backlash thus They have to get their software on other devices ( remember when Apple in order to survive as an alternative OS actually started licencing Apple os to other manufactures).
5. Steve Jobs is no longer around and cant take a hard-line stance any more.

State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd has created a record by adding 6.2 lakh mobile subscribers in August, making it the highest month-on-month addition by any GSM operator ever since cellular telephony was introduced in the country.
Reliance Infocomm, a CDMA-based operator, however, still holds the record for the largest number of new subscribers in a month across all mobile segments. The company added over 10 lakh new users in July last year.
The feat takes BSNL's subscriber base to 68 lakh, making it the third-largest operator after Reliance Infocomm and Bharti Tele-Ventures, which have 87 lakh and 82 lakh subscribers, respectively.
BSNL had lost out to other operators in the last few months since it ran out of capacity. The company is now rolling out 120 lakh new cellular lines across the country and is aiming at taking the number one slot by the year-end.
All the operators put together added 16.5 lakh new users in August. Of this, Global System for Mobile (GSM) operators accounted for 14 lakh new users and CDMA-based operators added 2.5 lakh subscribers. This takes the mobile subscriber base in the country to just over 400 lakhs, just behind the fixed line user base. Massive tariff cuts in both pre-and post-paid segments announced by the mobile companies last month is expected to take the cellular user's population above the fixed line subscribers in the next few months.
Said Mr T.V. Ramachandran, Director General, the Cellular Operators Association of India, "GSM continues to hold 79 per cent of the total mobile market and the GSM additions in August represent 85 per cent of all new additions. The trend clearly is in line with international trends, where GSM continues to be the predominant choice of customers globally."
That the mobile revolution is going beyond the metros is indicated by the fact that Circle B States of Kerala, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have now overtaken the four metro cities in terms of subscriber base. While Circle B States have 94 lakh cellular users, metros account for 92 lakh. However, Delhi continues to be the single-largest market, with a subscriber base of 35 lakh. Circle A States, comprising Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, have the highest concentration of mobile users, with 118 lakh subscribers.

My landlord had to shut off our water heaters for repairs on the pipes today. The guy they sent to turn mine off woke me up knocking at the door. I was all groggy and bleary-eyed, and I didn't have my glasses on, but I clearly saw him take a double-take at me on his way out. (I have super powers when it comes to telling if someone is checking me out or if I just have pizza on my face). Makes me feel fine as hell that someone thinks I'm attractive first thing in the morning. Do all guys have a thing for girls who just woke up or does it depend?

Yes! During the day, she's normally worried about her appearance and all her insecurities are abuzz. So when she's ultra relaxed and not particularly worried her appearance? Turn-on. When she's all cute in comfy night clothes that hide her body from view but yet allow easy access to everything? Turn-on. Her groggy voice, all raspy. Turn-on. The "mmmms" she makes in that voice? Turn-on. When her hair is disheveled and unwashed-off makeup is still there like after we just did it? Huge turn-on. Quite honestly, the only likely negative is morning breath... luckily mouths have a use beyond kissing.32|10|0
This is great for female self-esteem everywhere. Obviously nobody has told girls this before because half of us think we look worse in the morning

When a woman is irrationally demanding (for example, yelling at customer service personnel who are already doing all they can to accommodate her), when she's obnoxiously drunk, and when she's pretending to be less intelligent that she is... off the top of my head, those are times when she's unattractive. Most of you seem to have no idea how hot you are practically *all the time*.
Your words make so much sense! Thank you. I wonder why this is the first time I've ever heard that.
- Opinion Owner
Thank you for the compliment! It makes me wonder, too. Guys aren't that hard to figure out. (At least not when you are one... easy for me to say, I know.) So I've been thinking about this...
Women measure themselves and one another by female standards, which are a lot tougher than guys'. Straight women aren't attracted to women, so there's already a huge hurdle to overcome because you didn't evolve to be attractive to each other. The media only shows you one ideal and you all fall short of it. And yet, women that men *actually* find attractive are not the rail-thin models you all compare yourselves to. Your friends are polite and tell you you're beautiful and you don't believe them. They're being polite just like you are! Guys tell you you're beautiful and you dismiss it because they just want to get in your pants. (And you're right, but that's because you're beautiful.) Nevertheless, you're left with a problem of never having trustworthy, accurate feedback.
GAG at it's best, no?
This is all information that I've discovered over the past year. You're correct on everything. People used to bully me as a kid and said I looked like a guy, but I realize now that it was all just an intent to be mean. There was a Carl's Jr commercial a couple of years ago and all the gay men and feminist women in Hollywood called the girl fat, but then guys finally said something about her being attractive and got the commercial back. Makes me wonder why we listen to people that don't really know what they're talking about...
And I couldn't look any different than a runway model than I already do because I'm way too short. It's funny that you said that.
- Opinion Owner
The whole "How Do I Look" category here at GAG is utterly baffling to me. I can't imagine anyone who posts there doesn't come away more confused than before.
I agree completely. And it's not just on GAG. They do that on practically ever social media site out there, including YouTube. Half the time people are just trolling anyway. The best way to tell if you're an attractive girl is to go to a bar or club and see if you get hit on or groped at all. (At least from my experience)
- Opinion Owner
Ugh. Groped? Even when I was your age I wouldn't have dreamt that that might have been an effective strategy. Maybe to get beer poured on me! Groping... good lord... only after it was obvious she wanted to get handsy.
For some reason, there is a trend of guys who initiate contact by groping. It is by no means an effective technique. And to be fair, my friends say I get groped more than average, so that doesn't mean all girls get groped when they go out.
- Opinion Owner
I seriously worry about many guys your age. Specifically the ones that think groping is acceptable behavior. Is this the "being alpha" phenomenon that everyone loves to talk about here? Until I came to this and other websites, I had no idea about some of the problems your generation encounters. A few nieces and nephews have been my only insight thus far.
No, no, no, no, no. Most guys don't even know what a real alpha male is. A real alpha male has confidence and is a good person, an upstanding citizen (think Captain America, not Tony Stark). The guys who go around groping girls in clubs are assholes who are too full of themselves, but mostly just pathetic little weasels that haven't been taught how to properly flirt with a girl. They're not all bad guys, but they come off as creeps because they don't know any better. But sometimes it's worse when they come up and try to talk to you (if theyan find enough guts to do that) because half of guys these days don't even know how to talk to a girl.
Take water heater guy for example. He had a script to follow "I need to turn your water heater off" and he could barely get get that out.
The girls I work with and my friends are the same. They can't talk to guys and make me work with all the hot customers because they clam up.
- Opinion Owner
I'm still kind of puzzled by organizing all males into two Greek letters based on wolf behavior, as if the spectrum wasn't much wider and, in fact, multidimensional. But I have a better appreciation for the archetype hearing the way you describe it than the dismal impression I've gotten from here so far. Yours is extraordinarily positive.
As for the shyness you describe, many people aren't fully their adult selves until their mid twenties. It's a refinement that others—clearly you, for example—get much earlier.
The whole "alpha, beta" thing is really about confidence. An alpha male or female has confidence while a beta male or female has a lackthereof. Most guys like to call cocky guys the alphas, but that's just an excuse for their own insecurities.
Unfortunately today's parents often don't raise their children to have confidence or be independent or come up with their own thoughts in general. This affects their work life, social life, and especially dating and relationships.
I basically raised myself, so I have much more confidence than my peers because it comes from my independence. Most people my age still live with their parents and many of them don't even work.
Also people who don't have self confidence naturally feel inferior around those who do. That's why guys on here talk so much shit about the whole alpha, beta thing.
And cocky guys are really beta males because they go after the sluts, not the alpha females.
- Opinion Owner
I didn't know alpha/beta was used to describe women, too!
This is related to confidence and I'm curious about this from a generational perspective… One thing I've noticed about the admittedly few members of your generation that I've worked with, is a lack of motivation to figure stuff out. I'm the boss of a couple Millennials and, when they encounter a problem, it's like I'm more of a cheerleader whose job it is to get them interested in doing their work rather than messing around online when they get stuck. Then I show them how to solve the problem and I feel played because I just did the hard part for them. Do you see this generalization as typical or is it unfair? What do you see as the biggest asset of your generation compared to others?
Your generalization isn't unfair or without basis. Most people in my generation were not taught to think for themselves as children. Participation trophies defeat the purpose of having a trophy at all and tell kids they don't have to win or be better than anyone else to get the same result. The default is for kids to put in the minimum amount of effort to achieve the end result, and all end results are the same.
The problem you're having at work is that people who don't know how to think for themselves or outside the rules rarely develop problem solving skills. It might feel like you're doing all of the work for them, but you're really saving them from having panic attacks and then they still go home feeling like they aren't good at their job.
If you want to help them, help them learn how to problem solve and give them some self confidence. That will raise their self esteem and they'll be better employees for you and grateful.
And I think one of the biggest assets is that since everyone is insecure and diagnosed with some sort of mental or social maladaptive disorder, my generation as a whole is more accepting of "betas". The counterargument to that is the betas gang up on the alphas by claiming that they feel victimized when they can't stand up for themselves.
Alpha females are as much of a thing as alpha males, but most tend to also have masculine traits and aren't considered sexy or femenine. I am an alpha female because I had my own apartment, job, and car at 20 years old while the rest of my generation still lives with its parents. But an alpha female can also be the most attractive girl in the bar. It's all a self confidence thing and what the context is.
Sluts are beta females because they don't have the self esteem or confidence to think men will love them without it. Now a sex-driven "black widow " can also be considered an alpha female. Depends on a lot of things
- Opinion Owner
I *always* try to develop their problem solving skills. My quandary is that they don't take it and run with it. To them, the answer was an answer for that specific problem, not a general skill to be applied elsewhere. I tell them so. They are learning, but I'm frustrated because I personally wouldn't need to be shown twice.
Trophies and maladaptive disorders for all... it would be funny if it wasn't sad. On the other hand, what I admire about Millennials is a greater awareness of and care about social issues that matter, and that you all spend time thinking about them. My generation didn't. Baby boomers already tried that in the late 60s and we just joked about how hypocritical they were, given that, by the 80s, nothing had changed. So we watched MTV instead. Lame, really.
Also, Millennials decide for themselves who becomes famous, not record companies and Hollywood. You're the first generation who gets to do that for yourselves.

> An alpha female can also be the
> most attractive girl in the bar
Agree 100%. Confidence is sexy in anyone. I think applying this to women makes me understand much better what everybody's on about. Thank you!
But you say confidence is un-feminine. I answered a "What is femininity" question a while ago and basically described a confident woman. Excerpts:
I think a feminine woman is free to be herself. She's free from society's expectations. She's free from her own insecurities (and she may well have a few). She's never trapped by her man, both because she would never allow it and he instinctively knows it isn't necessary in the first place.
She gives love and time freely, and wants and graciously accepts these things from others just as well. She's involved in her community and is motivated by her desire to make it a better place for her family.
She can do and be all this and still wear pants if she wants to. (And I mean that literally and figuratively.)
They don't know how to apply the knowledge later because they don't know how. We are taught on school to repeat answers to questions and take multiple choice tests. Cram knowledge to get an A, but nobody actually teaches students how to retain all that anymore, so they forget it by the end of the year. They don't think that baking and chemistry are the same thing because all you have to do is follow the recipe. They think "I've never done this before, so I won't be good at it ".
A confident woman can be sexy, but most confident woemen these days tend to be career oriented or cops, something that's traditionally a man's profession. They can still be feminine, but most women in management positions tend to take on masculine traits. So they might think they're attractive and be pretty, but they also often intimidate potential dates or come off as more masculine than feminine.
I've been told I'm intimidating by many. My friends mostly admit it. Alphas are often intimidating.
- Opinion Owner
Sorry I didn't reply until now…
I don't know what you're like in person, obviously, but I think you're engaging and insightful. I've always found confidence in a woman either very attractive or very unattractive, and it usually depends on whether or not it's justified. Same with anybody, really. Confidence means nothing if you're talking out your ass. Then it's just sad. Do you find it tough to date because of your confidence? If random guys are groping you and hitting on you, you are not lacking for suitors, but is it tough to get serious because you scare them off before it gets that far? (Assuming you want something serious, of course.)
Thanks. But I've actually never been on a date before. I'm really good at turning guys down. It's not easy to find someone that I could actually see myself with. I've only met a few that have come close. I would absolutely only consider dating someone if it was serious. I refuse to waste my time with anything I know I won't be able to take seriously or I know won't pan out well. I don't need to be wasting my time with the wrong guy when the right one shoes up. Of course, I don't need one at all of he doesn't exist.
- Opinion Owner
What kind of guy would be the right guy? Would you really content by yourself?
(No expectation that you'll answer such personal questions, but you described an out of the ordinary way to go about life.)
He would have to be able to understand the things I went through growing up and why they made me the person I am today. I'm a firm believer that your partner's flaws should be some of the most attractive parts or connections between you. And I'd have to be able to understand him. For example, I could never be with someone who had a near perfect childhood, because we wouldn't have a fundamental understanding of each other.
He would have to be completely faithful, no doubt he would cheat. He'd make me feel special and like he couldn't live without me. We would have incredible chemistry and know how to work through arguments without hurting each other.
He'd be confident in himself, enough to call me out on my bullshit. We'd have to be on the same intellectual level and at similar places in life.
I need psychological connection, love, physical security, and complete acceptance of my flaws. Everyone I've considered has been able to give me a few of these things, but never all of them

I don't think most people have thought it through nearly as much as you have. I hope you find him soon! No doubt you'll make him very happy, too.
Thank you.
I've always found that it's better not to hope. You won't risk disappointment and it makes the surprise so much sweeter.
I can only dream of such a man and that his happiness would be required.
