"Ashe: Awwwwwwww ok ok ;)
Sudden urge for 69, eating out, and making out are clogging up my mind. Alfkjsdlfksjdfds, WHY????
Thursday: My dad asked me to go work with him tomorrow and I'm going out with my older brother in the evening. Not looking forward to either >..>
Friday: Going to see Jessica (YAY!) in the morning/afternoon and Christian/Eddie in the evening
Looking forward to both
I'm not sure about my evening anymore.
Since I've been on break, I've had to schedule the times I see my friends and I'm honestly surprised O.O I'm trying to enjoy my time with them all but I have to give everyone a good amount of time D:
So yeah, this is my week:
Wednesday: Beatriz(?)
Thursday: Older brother
Friday: Jessica then Christian + Eddie
Saturday/Sunday?: Daniel, David(?), Mario (?), Quincy (?)
OH LAWD, so many people to see.
It's been a good week so far since I've come back though :D
Now, I have to figure out who I'm seeing next week >..<
So I was playing LOL and all of the sudden this guy was being a douche because I kept dying because I am not really an experienced (Sp?) player but he kept on nagging and saying he was BOSS cause he had 2 " Banshee Veils ".
So I did what any girl would do when she feels like she is treated stupidly…I kept dying on purpose…and fed Cho'Gath.
He got big.. :)
To make a point, the guy on your team was an idiot. Banshee's veil doesn't stack so having two is pointless. Also, please don't feed and just help out your team =)
I haven't posted anything LoL related in a while, from my memory that is, but I have something :D
I've had three wonderful games in a row. First as Nasus (carried hard as all hell)
The most defining moment was when I picked up a Quadra kill, took down two nexus towers, and unfortunately died as I last hit the second tower with my Q. If anyone is interested, here's my replay of it (note, LoLreplay is necessary to view):
Soon after, I said "why not" and played two games as Alistar since he was my first and main tank. The results were wonderful! With the exception of one or two bad headbutts, I was able to peel the enemy team off of my teammates. Of course, I played according to the enemy team to counter them and my builds were fairly similar both times. Here are the two games:
The enemy team consisted of Singed, Swain, Vayne, Shaco, and Jax.
To counter Singed, Swain, Shaco, and Jax, I went with FoN.
My philostone solved mana problems (to an extent)
My sunfire cape helped against Vayne, Jax, and shaco (not to mention to farm)
Deathcap… we were owning and I couldn't resist <3
To counter Blitz, Leona, Teemo, Malz, and Jax…. A FoN :D
Health and armor against Blitz, teemo and Jax ;D
Overall, it was a fun game but my teammates kept dying D:
I looked up my name in the Tumblr tags and everyone (or everything) related to my name, Kenneth, is awesome! I am a happy happy man <3
With love,
Kenneth :D
I'm thinking "what if someone has tagged my name and written something about me O.O"?
Time to find out! *crosses fingers for nothing bad*
About to be the old "about me" on my profile:
19/M/South Jordan, Utah
Let's start off with the basics shall we?
Name: Kenneth Lopez
What I blog about: Love, life, personal stuff, inspirational stuff, nerdy things and anything else I can.
Usually, I can't describe myself well but here's my shot at it.
To sum me up in very few words:
I love being spazzy and spreading joy to the world, I'm more of a listener, I need a hug often, and I'm hoping to find that special someone one day.
(Full story?)
Born in '92 to a Mexican background and raised in Richmond, California in a ghetto area. Religion was high, bullets filled the night and a low quality of life was all I knew. Fortunately, I chose the path of a good child and never hung with the wrong people. Grew up, school -____-, made friends and eventually attended Middle College High School (MCHS). It changed me for the best for many reasons but to name the highest, I would say it was my former girlfriend, my friends, the teachers and all I went through. I didn't have many "friends" but I did have good friends. I dated my former girlfriend for 3 years and 2 days. We dated from November 8, 2006 till November 10, 2009. Although we weren't the best BF or GF, we made our love work and that was the period in my life where I understood what true love was.
She still resides in my heart wherever I go and I've evolved (cue Pokemon joke) into who I am today. I've matured, I'm attending Neumont University and living with a few roommates in my apartment. They're not the best in the world, I really feel comfortable with only one, but I'm living regardless.
My days are filled with school, laughter, coding and visiting my friends.
I don't really text anyone anymore though since all my friends are nearby but I'm always up for it and I'm always just a call away.
As for my personality…. Explanation time!
Hopeless romantic - I adore chick flicks, mushy gushy stuff, pet names, picnics, walks in the park and creative dates.
Spazzy - I tend to spread joy anywhere I go, easily excited as well, and I can't go a day without giving all of my friends a hug (my guy friends think it's odd).
50/50 - I walk around with a huge smile on my face most of the day but sometimes, I need someone to just hug me when life is going down the drain. In other words, I'm either happy or sad on a given day depending on my thoughts.
In public - I don't usually care what I say in public (I'm not terribly vulgar) since no one will ever care regardless but if I'm listening to music, I'll usually turn it down to not disturb anyone. As for cashiers, I LOVE to make their lives more entertaining. If I see that they're bored out of their minds, I'll make an effort to make sure their days are that much brighter. For example, I once spazzed out and complimented a young lady's red lipstick at a Levi's cashier (3/26/11) because I loved how it looked but I knew she would feel great.
1 on 1 convos - I listen more thank I talk because I like to be as open as possible to new great ideas.
Buy me some of this and I will love you <3 Except the Mango flavor :X
In order, from most to least favorite, I drink:
Pineapple, Key Lime, Passion Fruit
To go on the heavier (drunk faster) side, I go coconut rum
Regular: 40 Proof
Coconut: 90 proof
I usually get a little bit hesitant and cough/anything else when I take one :X Like right now, I took two shots of Tequila with my brother in law (he offered) and I basically threw up on the second one. I took the shot the wrong way and it went up my nose somehow so yeah =/
I'll just stick to drinks that taste good.
You're welcome ^^. Sorry for leaving :X
ty ty ty ty ty <3
Tonight, a whole shit storm of events decided to occur. To be frank, I don't believe my life is full of any drama or problems but holy hell are the people I know in deep situations.
To start off this crazy night, my former girlfriend decided to visit me today. She drove up to my house ( around 10PM), I hopped in (after confessing to my mom it was Beatriz >..>), and she drove to a nearby parking lot to chat and what not. To sum it all up, I sent this text message to my little sister:
So you're asleep for sure but I may as well fill you in on everything. We didn't get to talk much, we mostly listened to music, I listened most of the time (she was complaining a lot), she told me she doesn't feel the same way towards me, I hugged her for a while (felt nice) and I talked a little bit about Utah and that's basically it. Basically, it was ok seeing her but I don't feel like anything is there. No friendship, no room to talk or to be myself, no feelings and generally, just a large feeling of detachment and an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Next message:
Oh and I forgot to mention that she may get back with Jerson
Everything I said so far has been true. Honestly, it felt both comforting and odd seeing her again. Here I thought we would damn near be rushing towards each other, arms extended with a slightly teary eyes, and have an all out conversation but no, nothing like that all. Although these next few words feel anger driven, I'm disappointed that all we really did was listen to music and her complain about her life. Truth be told, her complaining is also a way of letting her walls down but feeling so odd during it all isn't natural. I feel like a mini vent-to person and nothing more. I understand you have problems, since you talk about them every time we speak, but there's such a thing as a normal conversation. Now my current dilemma is whether or not to actually see her again.
I don't feel right hanging around someone who I can't feel comfortable with or just not being able to open up to. As I've noticed, I have a decent amount of walls and I let a few down around her but close them back up soon after.
(Going to write the rest in the morning, I'm too sleepy to write more)
(I went to sleep around 4AM and woke up around 4:36pm O.O)
So as I was saying, I have a decent amount of walls and I don't let people in to easily. From what I recall, that was one of my problems when I was dating my former girlfriend and she told me to work on it after we split but it's ironic how she either doesn't notice how many I have around her or how I can't let them down when she's around.
So, that's part 1 o.e ^
Next up, I received a call from one of my closest friends asking for advice/someone to talk to and we talked for about an hour. Holy hell was it something unexpected but ultimately, what we decided on, was that she stay close to her morals/her own beliefs on what to do. Due to the seriousness of the conversation, I can't reveal the person or what happened >..<
Nervous, excited, confused, tense, and happy all at the same time O.O
There's a chance I may see an old friend of mine, which I haven't for like a year, and I'm just all akjsdfskljhds about being able to see her during my school break. I'm just sitting down, waiting for a call or text, and hoping she will be able to come over today. Honestly, I put everything else aside just in case she has time. I've been texting my little sister about it all day and it was confusing at first >..<. My little sis thought I was going to go see my friend at her workplace but I thought she was going to drive to my place so I'm all "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?". OMG, please come over or my night shall be ruined or all bleh D:
For the people that know me, putting aside League Of Legends, Tumblr, and the interwebz is somewhat of a big deal to me. I just don't do that on a regular basis.
Please please please come over tonight =/. I'll be so let down/disappointed if you don't come =(
I know I'm asking so much but I don't want to wait another day to see you! It's been too long dude :P
(Meant to be posted about an hour and a half ago)
As a random thought, I see no point to suicide and find it completely stupid/pointless unless it's to stop physical torture. That is all.
I'm a kid at heart and I'm not talking about deep down inside as well. I look at the world with hopeful eyes hoping happiness and good intentions will always be spread around. No matter how many people have told me to abandon that dream, I still hold on to it as if for dear life. I can't let that part of me go and I simply refuse to.
I'm not going to lie though, seeing some of my friends/family members argue or yell at each other scares me every single time. I can't pinpoint the exact reason why it hurts but I really can't stand the sight. The last time it happened, I felt teary, scared, and as if I was intruding on their argument. It was a horrible feeling, no doubt about it.
I'm back home :D As a quick note, I took a train and didn't go to sleep at night so I was able to see the sunrise! Man, I love trains now and this is what I wrote from my experience at that moment:
September 22, 2011
Approximately 7:21 AM
Region, unknown
(Correction, 6:21 AM and California time)
As I'm staring straight out the window, I can see the sun beginning to rise ever so gracefully from the mountainside. Being a city boy, this experience comes as a complete surprise and I'm not planning on taking it lightly. The sky is painted with a delicate glow of orange and a dash of blue embedded with even strokes. From the very peaks of the mountain, I see shimmering spots of yellow hugging it's oh so glamorous curves. The land seems to worship the sky as they it reaches, with arms extended, to be able to capture the beauty laid before their eyes. As if mimicking its behavior, the land has decorated itself with dashes of color as well and presents its own type of radiance that even the sun cannot match. As our trip goes on, the land starts to show its true form with rich amounts of water, green stricken earth, birds by the dozens and a nest to harbor all possible forms of life in this unnamed valley surrounded by smoothed mountains, engraved with train tracks and adorned with phone lines to allow neighboring towns to spread the word of their finds.
Now that the sun has risen, the lovely mountains have painted themselves a welcoming red, the towns return to life an old American spirit and the passerby of the truckers only shows both the authenticity of the area and the self conserved gem it has grown to become.
It's great to be back in Cali <3
When I'm attracted to my female cousins. Why must they be so beautiful T^T?
*mumble mumble complain*

EMPORIA, Va. (AP) — A funeral service will be held Wednesday for a Greensville County deputy sheriff who was found dead in his car in a creek.
An obituary posted on Owen Funeral Home's website says the service for 52-year-old Percy Lee House II is set for 2 p.m. Wednesday at Golden Leaf Commons in Emporia. A private burial will follow at House Family Cemetery.
Media outlets report that a dive team found House dead inside his car in a creek Saturday morning. Virginia State Police are investigating but officials say his car apparently skidded off an icy road into the creek.
House was last seen in the Greensville town of Skippers. He last made contact with the sheriff's office about 9:24 a.m. Friday.

According to a recent study, government data show that nearly 30% of the natural gas extracted as a byproduct of fracking for oil in North Dakota is being burned off, or "flared." That's right, three out of every 10 cubic feet of natural gas extracted in North Dakota ends up being burned at the wellhead and released into the atmosphere.

Second Response to EPRINC Report: "Ethanol's Lost Promise"
An EPRINC report released on Sep. 14 entitled "Ethanol's Lost Promise" advocates repealing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The paper suggests removing the RFS could reduce the oil refining sector's ethanol consumption down to 6.1 billion gallons annually (compared to 12.5 billion gallons in 2011). EPRINC suggests the void left by smaller ethanol supplies could be filled with imported gasoline, increased gasoline yields at the expense of diesel/distillate production, expanding U.S. refining capacity, and other infeasible options. In response to RFA's reaction to its study, EPRINC tried to defend it with yet more conflicting and misleading statements. Once again, RFA is stepping forward to refute fiction with fact.

Response To EPRINC Study: "Ethanol's Lost Promise"
A report released this week by EPRINC, an oil industry-funded research group, suggests a multi-year suspension of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) could reduce U.S. ethanol use by more than half. In this analysis, the RFA points out that in attempting to tear down the RFS, the EPRINC report actually underscores the importance of the program and highlights the lack of sensible or economic options available to refiners if ethanol use is severely curtailed.

RFA says Ethanol is Not to Blame for Diesel Fuel Corrosion Incidents
A report released today by Battelle, sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute (API), claims a recent rash of corrosion incidents in storage and handling equipment for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) use stems from ethanol contamination. Under normal, everyday storage and handling conditions, ethanol should never come into contact with diesel fuel; ethanol is a gasoline additive.

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal published Letter to the Editor of mine, which was in response to "Ethanol vs the World."

Responding to this attack, I submitted another editorial, which was rejected by the Editorial Features Staff. Please read said editorial in this post.

Big Oil's Stolen 35 Minutes
A recent article entitled "Clean Green Scam" highlighted the case of Rodney Hailey whose company sold approximately $9 million worth of fraudulent biodiesel credits to the oil industry. They were also fined by the EPA for not conducting proper due diligence to make sure the credits were legit. This cost Big Oil another $40 million. The article went on to say, "Refiners have been ripped off to the tune of $200 million so far by crooks and government fines..." due to the Renewable Fuels Standard. Wow, that is a big number - unless of course you put it into context.

Is Oil Worth a Trillion Dollar Subsidy?
In these difficult economic times, a recurring question is who should get help and who should stand on their own. With people it's the middle class vs. the 1%. In the corporate world, the question is whose government support should be cut. Recent failures by Solyndra and others, make "green energy" subsidies a favored target. But what about Big Oil? Isn't it time to address their subsidies?
Answering Crocodile Tears
In recent testimony before the Joint Economic Committee, Mr. Thomas O'Malley, chairman of PBF Energy, attempted to tar and feather ethanol and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) as the root cause of refinery closures in the Northeast. Mr. O'Malley's comments are more reflective of the petroleum industry's crusade against renewable fuels and a willingness to play fast and loose with the facts.

TEAMS: Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions
The Tennessee Titans will play at the Indianapolis Colts this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium. Scheduled for a 1 p.m EST kickoff the game will be aired on CBS. Indianapolis struggled until the end of last season to find a win. This year the team has 8 and appear headed to the playoffs despite losing head coach Chuck Pagano early in the season to leukemia cancer. Andrew Luck is clearly the reason for the change in the Colts record as his play at quarterback has generated more points and much needed rest for a shaky defense. The Tennessee Titans have lost their last two games against Houston and Jacksonville. Despite being a team with 8 losses the team has not lost 3 in a row all season. In the Titans October loss to the Colts running back Chris Johnson totaled 99 yards. After that game he topped 100 yards the following two weeks but was held in check by Houston and then a poor Jacksonville team. As Johnson goes so do the Titans on both sides of the ball. So whats the point spread in the...

I write about what to wear to work and fashion and the workplace

The Cult Of J.Crew
This shouldn't come as a shock: It's a bleak time for retailers. Stores have gone out of business, 70% off sales have become de rigueur and women are shopping in their closets rather than whipping out their credits cards to spend.
But while most retailers have been suffering through this millennium's version of the Great Depression, J.Crew is having its golden era. First Lady Michelle Obama wore J. Crew while gabbing on Jay Leno's couch in 2008 and the first daughters donned Crewcuts, a children's line, to the inauguration. J.Crew's creative director, Jenna Lyons, has taken on fashion icon status comparable to the likes of superstar designers like Donna Karan and Miuccia Prada ("Jenna's picks," which are updated monthly on JCrew.com, often sell out).
And J.Crew's recent success is more than just hype. The company reported 14% revenue growth for the third quarter of 2009 over 2008 and strong holiday sales. The retailer has managed to become fashion's glimmer of hope that women still like to shop, recession be damned. (As if there was any doubt.)
"Quite honestly I am a J.Crewaholic," says Joyce Randazzo, a lawyer based in Lake Success, N.Y. Randazzo, speaking from her office outfitted in head to toe Crew including grey flannel pinstripe pants, a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a black V-neck cardigan, has been shopping at J.Crew for 15 years. She estimates that around 80% of her wardrobe is from the store, including over 50 cashmere sweaters and a host of J.Crew 120 suits (120 is the measure of the yarn) that she swears by. "I exclusively wear my J.Crew suits to court," says Randazzo, who often shops the online store directly from her desk. "I just bought an adorable schoolboy blazer," she says.
J.Crew was founded in 1983 by Arthur Cinader in the hopes of capitalizing on the success of The Official Preppy Handbook and
Ralph Lauren . J.Crew was to be the price conscious antidote for the growing legions of yuppie shoppers. Cinader created a glossy catalogue complete with photography that looked like it belonged on the editorial pages of a glossy magazine and which propelled the brand into the spotlight. The company, while initially a runaway success, hit a wall in the late 1990s. Texas Pacific, known for their ability to turn around flailing companies, bought a stake in the company in 1997. The company went through several CEOs before landing on miracle worker Millard "Mickey" Drexler, former CEO of
the Gap .
J.Crew quickly morphed into a store that appealed to younger shoppers making investment purchases, Birkin Bag-toting soccer moms cutting back on splurges at Neiman Marcus and career-centric women who can't get enough of the pencil skirts and slim trousers. It's a recession-proof model that few stores imitate–$500 sequin and tulle skirts expertly sit next to their $150 counterparts, with skillfully put together mannequins to help shoppers style the look for evening (with a silk tank) and for the office (with a T-shirt and belted wool sweater). Every purchase seems like a great buy.
Eric Beder, a retail analyst for Brean Murray Carret & Co., says, "J. Crew has become an expert in recasting timeless classics into current fashion must-haves." Their recent best-sellers have been metallic ballet flats, T-shirts trimmed in chiffon, colorful cashmere sweaters, rhinestone jewelry and oversized blazers.
Reflecting on J.Crew's recent success, Drexler told investors on a recent conference call: "It's about product, it's about quality, it's about design, it's about service, it's about creativity." Corporate speak, sure, but Drexler knows that his company's success isn't thanks to a celebrity endorsement or the latest wash of jeans. It has to do with consistency. J.Crew's biggest fans wax poetic about J.Crew's reliable sizes, which allow them to shop easily online. They applaud the line's color palette with a range from basic black to trendy lime green. And they love that they can buy everything from a $115 retro one-piece bathing suit to a $2,500 lace wedding gown.
Perhaps J.Crew's biggest coup is that its fans are a vocal bunch who spread the gospel of J.Crew without any direct prodding from the company. Siv Lam, who works in public relations in San Francisco, started the blog Jcrewaholics last year. She says she has no formal association with the brand; she just loves it. "I have had a love affair with J. Crew," says Lam. "I wanted to dive into social media and was looking for a topic … and thought it was the perfect choice."
Lam posts three to four times a week and has a Twitter following and Facebook fanpage for her blog all about J.Crew's latest offerings, sales and hard to find items. Lam isn't the only one blogging on the retailer; there are at least a half a dozen blogs devoted to J.Crew. You can't buy that kind of publicity–and don't its competitors know it. And while J. Crew has been slow to get into the social media game itself, the company has amassed over 185,500 Facebook fans while Banana Republic tops out at 66,000 and
Ann Taylor
is still under 10,000. (These numbers are subject to change daily.) Comments on J.Crew's Facebook wall range from "I love the new Brodie ankle boots" to "Dear J.Crew, I am in love with your wedding dresses. Now if only I could find a steady boyfriend."
Fans of the brand also post photos of themselves wearing J.Crew, including many brides on their big day and women showing off their latest purchases. Elizabeth Stein, a research assistant at Vanderbilt University, posted photos of her and her husband donning J.Crew in their engagement photos staged in an idyllic country setting on the retailer's Facebook page. "People have told us that we look like we are in J.Crew catalogue," says Stein who visits J.Crew's Web site every other day, just to see what is new. "Against my better judgment I always come back [to J.Crew] to buy more," she says.
And therein lies the not-so-secret reason for J.Crew's success–make clothes women want to buy and they will buy them.

As far as I'm concerned, Alliance engineers will have to train in Howling Fjord (There is not engineer trainer in the Borean Tundra).
My Holy Paladin was camped in Menethil to go train there engineering (one of the quest items for the Tundra was an engineer made item), after that I will Hearthstone to Stormwind City and take the boat to Borean Tundra to keep on going with my 'adventure' in the frozen wastes of Northrend.
So, if anybody want my advice, set your hearthstone in the town or city that takes you to the zone where you want to start and then ride and/or take a taxi to the other one so you don't have to wait FOREVER during those loading screens of doom (several players in Beta used to get taken back in the same boat because the huge amount of players in the boats/zeppelins made the loading screens take forever and a year).
RogueJedi86 said...
Logic says Borean Tundra would have at least one engineering trainer for Alliance. Fizzcrank Airstrip is all gnomes, and gnomes are primarily known for engineering.
Direphoenix said...
Your logic would fail you here, RogueJedi. Logic would also place an anvil in Tinkertown, capital of these gnomes that are so well known for their engineering skills. However you will clearly see that they have only been granted a forge to smelt metal, and they have to go elsewhere to actually do any engineering work.

Wednesday, ESPN's Jalen Rose said not to be surprised if Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook leave Oklahoma City when their contracts come up.
Rose said Durant would head to Houston and Westbrook would take off for the Lakers.
Later that day, Durant responded.
"Nah, I'm here for the Thunder (laughs)," Durant told The Oklahoman. "I mean, that's all I can say. I'm not thinking far down the line at all. It's about today. Today we got better against the Chicago Bulls. I can't tell the future. I can't speak on that. That's his opinion. I'm just going to keep playing for the Thunder. I love playing here."
Durant and the Thunder were in Wichita, Kan., playing a preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. The Thunder open the season with a road game Wednesday at Utah. The Thunder play their first home game on Nov. 3 against Phoenix.
Durant is signed through the 2015-2016 season. Westbrook is signed through the 2017 season.
Hard to tell if Durant really denied the Rose prediction.
"I mean, just let them know I'm not thinking that far down the line, I guess," Durant said to The Oklahoman. "I mean, I love my teammates. I love where I live. I love playing for this organization. So I'm just taking it a day at a time."

How Long Does Ativan Stay In Your Urine
jlo985 Says:
I took 10 mg of ativan saturday night and have a urine drug test today tuesday at 5:30....will it be out by then?
Showing Replies 1 - 20 of 33
1Verwon Says:
There is a chance that it will still be detected. Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and these can be detected for as long as 6 weeks, after taking them.
However, if you have a prescription for them, there is no need to be concerned, you just have to inform them of such, when you go in for the test.
Are there any other questions?

I took ativan on September the 24th at the er and I believe it was .2mg but I'm not sure it was really small and white. My question is I took a drug test 10/11 and I'm wondering if it'll show up. Can someone please get back to me??
3tonya Says:
I know from past drug screen's that any benzo stay's in your system from up to 30 to 60 day's. I took 2 valuim 5mg an failed my drug screen's for 60 day's an this was for drug court so be careful. I don't do benzo's ever an this was in my system so if u r a heave user they take longer to get out,an my husband is a big user an failed for benzo's for 6 month's
4JJJ Says:
PEOPLE you MUST Realize that NOT ALL BENZOS work The Same - In Fact They Differ More than Most!
Take Ativan: you will PISS Clean - by 7-12 hours AFter using - The more you use, the longer it will take. Ativan is Gone in 24 hours...
Now say Xanax or Valium...
These are WAY WAY Longer in your system thus Longer time needed to piss clean.
But Ativan?
ATIVAN: it SAYS 7-12 HOURS and you're urine test is clean - so give it a Day to be 100% sure.
And people - when you Answer Questions for other people.. At the Very VERY LEAST: Look up the Drug they are mentioning. Don't just go with the "drug group" since they can and DO vary by Weeks!
thank you.

5Jessica Says:
valium is unique among benzodiazepines. It is THE longest-detectable benzo by FAR. It can stay in your system for up to two months. Valium shouldn't be used in reference to Ativan, as Ativan, barring some bizarre circumstances, won't be detectable beyond a week, usually much less time it's outta your system
6JJJJ Says:
it will be gone in 24 hours from the last pill you took. i get tested all the time and take about that same dose - and if i take it no later than 5pm - then i am a-ok for my next days 1130am urine test and swab test. so no worries aqbout Tuesday

I am on a methadone clinic and I have quite a bit of experience with urine tests and benzos. Val8um is by far the worst as far as staying in your system for the lengthiest amount of time. I once took 20mg's and it was almost 2 months before my urine started coming back clean. Last sunday I took about 2mg's of ativan and wasworried because I had a ua the following thursday....iit's now monday the following week and I haven't heard anything from my case worker at the clinic so I think I'm good. If it does end up coming back dirty I will post here.....if it's clean I won't post anything in caseanyone is wondering.....best wishes to all.
8minimalonion Says:
Yes, you will be fine. Ativan is extremely fast acting and is out of your system within a day. I know this is true as im on a methadone clinic and get urine screened ofyen.just last weekend I took 3mg's on sunday afternoon and pissed clean k9nday morning. Don't lisyen 5o the people that say up to 6 weeks...they don't have a clue what they're talking about....that's a generalization for all benzos some of which can stay for up to 6 weeks

Hello. Could someone PLEASE CONFIRM that Ativan leaves the system quickly?? I've read so many varying posts that I'm a nervous wreck. I took 2mgs on Saturday and 2mgs on Sunday and have a urine test at 3:30 today. I'm begging someone to please reply and I will certainly post after I get my results.

Product DescriptionNothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota. The extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. Unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they'll never hear you coming.
Powerdrive V2's deploy-assist lever puts you in motion and in pursuit of fish quickly! And when you're ready to move, it stows easily and securely - ready for action again as soon as you are. Thanks to the Digital Maximizer, your run is up to five times longer on a single charge, waste is eliminated, battery life extended, time on the water expanded. The ergonomic foot pedal offers precise speed adjustment, right/left steering, and both momentary and constant on/off. Comes with the industry's highest IP68 waterproof rating and 18' cord. 50 lbs. of thrust, 12 volts, 54" shaft.

Comments about Minn Kota Powerdrive 50 PD V2 Bow-Mount Motor, 54" Shaft:
A bit difficult to get motor out of its cradle. Although the motor is quiet, you will scare the fish when turning the motor. Great for getting from A to B in little time, but plan on getting a small transom mount motor to move around quietly when you get to your destination. Also, the wire lugs are too small for the battery...had to cut them off of a brand new Minn Kota to hook up the wires.

Columbia police have identified the driver of a van and the woman he fatally struck when he crashed in a parking lot early Sunday.
Harold Eshleman, 70, of Washington Boro, was driving a 1997 Plymouth van when he lost control and left the 600 block of Lancaster Avenue shortly after 6 a.m., police said in a news release Monday.
The van went into the parking lot and struck 66-year-old Beverly Jean
Altland before crashing into a sign pole, police said.
Altland, of Columbia, and Eshleman were pronounced dead at the scene.
Eshleman's wife, 66-year-old Georgia Eshleman, was transported by ambulance to a hospital where she remained in critical condition Monday, police said.
Investigators said at this point, it is not known what caused Harold Eshleman to lose control of the van.
Police asked any witnesses to call either Detective Matt Leddy or Officer Bryan Keyser at 717-684-7735.

If an NHL team wants a shot at landing Shane Doan, it's going to be quite costly.
A source told Globe and Mail hockey columnist David Shoalts on Friday that the unrestricted free agent forward is looking for a four-year, $30 million contract if he leave the Phoenix Coyotes - the only franchise he's ever played for.
Doan is coming off a five-year, $22.75 million contract with an average annual value of $4.55 million.
Doan, who hit the market on July 1, already visited with the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers last week while taking part in collective bargaining talks with the NHL and NHL Players' Association. He will reportedly visit the Montreal Canadiens next week, while the Nashville Predators and Vancouver Canucks are also interested in signing him.
The 35-year-old forward has maintained that his first priority is to stay with the Coyotes and is keeping a close eye on whether prospective buyer Greg Jamison will be able to close his deal to keep the team in Arizona. According to reports, Doan and Jamison met Friday to discuss the possibility of progress being made towards a sale.
In 1,119 career NHL games - all with Winnipeg/Phoenix, Doan has scored 296 goals and 738 points.

Call it a guerra de palabras, or war of words over what words Pennsylvanians officially speak.
Representative Angel Cruz - (D) Philadelphia - introduced HR 666 that would deem Spanish Pennsylvania's official language.
Representative Daryl Metcalfe - (R) Butler - introduced HB 2132 that would make English the official language in the commonwealth.
"We need to have English as our official language so we can direct our state bureaucracy to communicate in our official language rather than wasting tax dollars trying to communicate in all these various languages," Metcalfe said Tuesday afternoon at the Capitol.
Cruz countered, "Technically in America the Indian language (Native American) is the language we need to be speaking because it was the original language. We changed it later on."
The fight is mostly over forms printed by government agencies and whether they should only be done in English or a variety of languages.
English-only has been pushed in the past at the Capitol, and it has failed to pass. Cruz says for Metcalfe to keep bringing it up is insulting.
"Don't disrespect me. I'm just as much an American as you are, okay? But you gotta accept him for who he is. He's Daryl Metcalfe and Daryl Metcalfe alone."
Metcalfe calls Cruz's idea loco.
"English as an official language has a unifying effect," Metcalfe explained. "Angel Cruz's legislation is divisive and would divide us as a people instead of trying to unify us."
Lawmakers are divided on the issue.
"I don't think there ought to be any official language in Pennsylvania," said Representative Mark Cohen - (D) Philadelphia.
Cohen says Pennsylvanians aren't waiting for lawmakers to declare any language "official." He did add, counter to Metcalfe's argument, that printing forms in other languages is a money-maker for the state.
"We have found historically in Pennsylvania that when we print up forms in different languages, we get more tax revenues."
It's a fight Cruz can't win. The Spanish resolution and the English-only bill are in the State Government committee.
Its Chairman is Daryl Metcalfe.

Naked Pics in Erotica Book
Hey all,
I am making a 7×7 erotica book for my BF, with naked pics of myself. My questions:
Who prints these books?
Does this seem like an egotistical idea? (it's a relatively new relationship)
Hey J
Just thinking out loud and not giving advice, OK. Thinking about all the sex tapes and nude photos that have made there way to the Internet for sale when they where meant to be private would make me careful about doing something like that so early in the relationship.
I think it sweet that you want to please your BF, I'd just hate for you to be hurt by it.
just my two cents worth
Keep smiling
The books are printed by people who will giggle and laugh at, and probably steal your photos and put them on Youtube, just to piss you off !!
Is it Egotisdistical. As if you even need to ask….. you KNOW it is !!
BUT… if you consider yourself "avant garde" (that's french!) ... which clearly you do….give it a go and see what happens. Remember what happened to Burt Reynolds…..
Posted by
Jan 28, 2008 2:18pm PDTPermalink
Don't forget to make it "public" in the bookstore. Seriously, I suspect that the printers will barely (no pun) even notice. There are several "fine art photography" books in the bookstore that feature nude models, both male and female. So make it really artistic and no one will care.

So far the Trazodone has given me the most restful sleep I've had in awhile. The DOWNSIDE IS that I had terrifying nightmares that I couldn't wake up from. HOWEVER I believe that is more due to watching the Animatrix at Jims last night and less to do with my medication. I watched it when it first came out, but I mustn't have been paying attention because now Robot uprising is on my short list of irrational fears. Other than that I feel more rested than I have in YEARS <3

Merger Control as Barrier to EU Banking Market Integration
AbstractIn 2005, the President of the Bank of Italy blocked the cross-border acquisition of two Italian banks for ?prudential reasons and formal errors?. Following these events, the EU Commission brought actions against Italy for infringement of the principle of the free movement of capital. Although there is anecdotal evidence that prudential control may constitute a barrier to cross-border M&A in the banking sector, empirical evidence is missing until now. The main problem is the lack of data on the scope for politicians and supervisors to block M&A in the banking sector. The main contribution of this paper is to measure this scope for interference by constructing indices on the political independence and the transparency and strength of the supervisory review process of bank M&A. The main source of information to construct these indices is a questionnaire on banking regulation that was sent to the supervisory authorities in the 25 EU member countries between October 2006 and March 2007. --

1.Molecular pathogenesis of HIV
In a factory, someone has to stand on the loading dock, checking the goods going out. By recognizing labels like bar codes on each shipment, the loading dock supervisor makes sure that the products get where they are supposed to go. A cell is like a factory: one of its most important jobs is to produce proteins, like transcription factors and nuclear transport receptors. But in cellular factories, the sorting task is complicated by the fact that proteins are used by the cell itself as well as delivered to outside "customers". Scientists are succeeding at deciphering the cell's complex bar-coding system. But, surprisingly, they have never managed to get at the loading dock itself to see how HIV PICs are actually shipped to their destinations.
Regulation of HIV-1 infectivity and pathogenesis of AIDS remain central interests of the laboratory. Unlike the typical animal-oncoretroviruses, lentiviruses such as HIV have the ability to infect and replicate within non-cycling cells. Nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of the viral genome is vital for the replication and assembly of many viruses. Nuclear transport of Human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) genome, for instance, is critical for productive infection in non-dividing cells such as human macrophages. Our understanding on the nuclear import of HIV preintegration complexes into the nucleus of non-dividing cells remains rudimentary, and identification of cellular protein(s) which interact with viral PICs is eagerly awaited and will reveal cellular system that are important to diverse and basic cellular processes. Our laboratory will focus on two issues: mechanism of HIV PICs nuclear import, and signals in PICs that regulate its nuclear import. To achieve this goal we will clone and characterize the host genes that are involved in this process. We will also attempt to identify how the host genes interact with viral proteins to bring about the events of HIV pathogenesis. Furthermore, a better understanding of nuclear transport during viral infection might prove useful for designing antiviral therapies and for designing delivery vectors for gene therapy, which is a rapidly developing and increasingly important area of research in biomedical sciences.
2. Regulation of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport proteins
Identification and characterization of protein nuclear transport pathways
3. Tumor biology
a. Understanding the cross talk between tumor suppressors and activators of cell proliferation

The Prince George's County Police Department's SWAT unit conducted 195 tactical entries in the final six months of 2009, an average of more than one a day, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Of the 195 entries, 105 involved crimes deemed nonserious felonies and misdemeanors.
In nearby Baltimore, the city's SWAT unit conducted 84 such raids during the same period.
The statistics were acquired by the newspaper via a public information act request with the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention. State lawmakers began requiring agencies to submit the data after a mayor of Berwyn Heights was hancuffed by sheriff's deputies who burst into his home with automatic weapons and shot his two dogs.

So I'm watching 24 Season 2, and it's funny because now that NDAA was signed in, all the illegal detention of Ron Wieland and Roger Stanton would be totally legal, once they have been labeled as terrorists.
Found a beautiful bench outside a coffee shop, next to a zen garden, below a cloudless sky, and across from the beach. Then I realized the coffee shop was closed.
I was driving on the highway with my car on fire and i drifted into the Pay'n'Spray seconds before it would've exploded. No problem; good as new. Check-mate, Atheists!
I feel good So good I gotchu
"This is your cousin, Maeby." This is your cousin maybe.
My room is like Pluto. It's like -380 F in here.
Shit's goin down.
sinking into pillows (puffy clouds)
I can see the sky
from my bed (a magic carpet)
but all I can think of:
my broken telescope
(once) showed me stars
remember when some fuck thought it was a good idea to fill playgrounds with fucking woodchips
I was with my dog and for some reason, I pinned him to the ground by his neck in a not-so-playful way. I help him there for a moment, then let go and motioned for him to come so I could show affection. He started wagging his tail at the fact that I let him go then jumped into my lap so I would pet him. Then it hit me. He loved me because I was power and I chose him, who was inferior to me, to be my friend. He loved me because he feared me. Scary.
I like to dedicate 20-30 minutes to pure fantasy; what could have been, what should be, what would happen. Then I open my eyes and think, "Get to work."
We are the ones peeing on the rug
we chew the electrical cords and run giggling
behind the sofa, just out of reasonable reach.
we curl up quiet on her lap
and she thinks we love her.
we couldn't possibly.
we are not capable of anything but destruction
and the occasional peace offering of something already dead.
She stares at us, like a human to a dog, wondering why we aren't entertained
why we waste time
why we won't play with the toy
We act like she's not there, and when she reminds us, we promptly forget in a matter of days.
We are never entertained for long.
How many things can fit in this fishbowl?
stupid muggle world.
I asked "It seems to me that the systematic naming was much easier because it was branching off a ring structure. If it was a simple Butylpentane, we would've had to include which carbon the butyl was attached to. How does that fit into (2-methylpropyl)cyclopentane or (1, 1dimethylethyl)cyclopentane?" on a Khan Academy video. When the hell was I so smart and why do I not understand this anymore?
Also, what the hell am I talking about?
Gotta go move my car to the garage because it leaks a little and I might have just left the sunroof open. Once again, #california-problems
I feel like people who only like radio music have no personalities.

Spring has barely sprung, and I am already dreaming of summer produce. The thing is, spring is like the hors d'oeuvre to seasonal harvest, just a teaser that prepares you for what follows. Fresh, crisps, sweet greens can only anticipate more complex flavors, right?
I had a version of this dish several months ago, while still in Miami, at Michelle Bernstein's Sra. Martinez. I can only respect restaurants that treat vegetarians with love and care (hear that David Chang!). Michelle has more than a handful of beautiful vegetables dishes that are decadent and delicious (shaved kale salad, crispy eggplant, cauliflower steak, etc). These don't drown the vegetable in creamy heavy sauces, or bury them in pasta. Sra. MArtinez's vegetable dishes are about the vegetable, and how to enhance their texture and taste with simple ingredients. Now that's what I call good cooking!
Most of the food that comes out of her kitchen is delicious, but I was especially drawn to what appeared to be a simple corn dish. Surprisingly, the combination of lime, chile, and corn was everything but simple. Each bite takes you through an incredible journey though smoky aromatics, sweet juicy corn, and a mild spicy heat, sprinkled with an occasional tang from lime juice. Sublime!
You can make this recipe in minutes. It is perfect for outings, picnics, or BBQs. But to be honest I like it smack in the middle of the week, as a light dinner accompanied with lightly dressed greens.
Just this time I am going to allow myself to make an exception and use the frozen kind, but I will be ready to use fresh as soon as it arrives at the Green Market.
Spicy Corn
Serves: 2-3
Cook time: 7 minutes (max)
- 2 cups fresh (or froxen) corn kernels
- 2 tbsp. good olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ tsp. chile powder
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- pinch of salt
- dash fresh ground pepper
- juice of 1/4 of a lime
- good Parmegiano Reggiano shaved
- handful cilantro
In a saucepan over medium heat 1 tbsp. olive oil. Add garlic to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Add corn, spices, salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining olive oil, lime juice, cilantro and shaven Parmegiano. Serve hot. And like Ina Garten would say: How simple was that?!

text: 8 July 2013 Share: × Send to a friend Close Send Stress isn't always a bad thing; we often need a bit of stress to achieve great things or accomplish our goals. However, when the stress is overwhelming and has the potential to lead you to a breakdown, that's when you know it's time for better stress management. Control your surroundingsLearn to identify what stresses you out – before and after work. If you end up in traffic for over an hour every morning, perhaps consider a different route or try to leave earlier to avoid congestion. The same goes for your work environment – if you don't enjoy being around certain colleagues, don't spend lots of time with them. Prioritise Make a to-do list of your tasks that have to be done by the end of the day. Tackle those first and leave the ones that can wait for a later stage. Related articles Tips to help you eliminate work stress How to be more efficient at work Recharge your career Creativity in the workplace When to consider a career change It's okay to say noIf you know that you can't take on any more responsibilities, don't. Biting off more than you can chew is a sure way to choke. Let it outIf you aren't happy about something whether it's work related or personal, you should communicate them. Speak to your manager or HR about the situation; if you don't you'll end up with built up feelings of resentment. Live healthy Make time to exercise; it releases endorphins that make you feel good and energised. It's also a great way to work through your daily stresses. Eating a well-balanced diet also helps. Not only will you keep your energy levels up, your mind will be more focused to tackle the tasks ahead. Take a break Get away from your desk and step outside for a bit. You'll feel refreshed and will have better concentration levels. Get rid of distractionsOnline chat groups and social media waste a lot of time that you could be spending on work. Emails can also be very distracting so set times to check emails and stick to it. Sleep does wondersMake sure you get enough sleep, about seven to eight hours will do. If you don't get the right amount of sleep you'll feel low on energy and your work could suffer. Take time offA few days off could be just what the doctor ordered. A holiday doesn't have to involve going away to a far away land; simply going for a massage or relaxing at home could do wonders.

About Antoinette
I live in Paris since 20 years, and before have lived in London, NYC and South of France.
I work in photography field, and I will be the person to greet you in my family home Paris.
We will do our best to make you feel like at Home, by giving you some tips of where to go & what to do, introducing you to things we love. We are always just a phone call or e-mail away to answer all of your questions.
I have been renting my home since a few years and love to meet our guest, enjoy to share a drink with them, and advise them on where to go and what to do in our neighberhood.
Antoinette purchased this house in 1981
Why Antoinette chose Batignolles
I have always loved 'Private Cobble Stone Alley ' typical of 19th century, vintage mood. In the 80zz , it was possible to convert shops into houses. In a few years our private alley, originally only with craftsman shops, became private homes. Many artistes used to live in this neighborhood, such as writer CELINE, singer Jacques BREL, actress Sarah BERNARD. Now BATIGNOLLE area became one of THE hot spot where to be...
What makes this house unique
I like the contrast of 'Countryside feeling' in the heart of 'City buzz', the kind of buzz you get Place Clichy, with cinemas, bistros, animation from Montmartre, people going back & forth. I like the calme and privacy given by this 'private mews', where my home is located, it is peacefull, quiet, neighbours are frindly , it's like beeing in a village.
the most benefit is that it is a REAL HOUSE, which is very rare in Paris and makes life more cosy, when we are a large group to share time & space together.Or when it's just 4 people traveling together for business purpose, its nice to each have its own intimacy and yet be i a large loft for a drinck.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The "Amazing Quiet House in Paris" was a great find for a long week in Paris. There was more than enough space for my group of 9 (the place is listed for 10) - everyone had a comfortable bed and we never had to fight over the bathrooms, a plus. The location is great - it's amazing how peaceful the place is, yet only a few steps and you are on the main street w/ everything you need (Metro is less than a min away). Antoinette was very responsive to all my emails/requests - great to work with. The house does have narrow stairs, so if you have issues with climbing, this may not be the best place for you. Otherwise, a great find.

|Hell, we're back--Thanks Hugo!!!
Steve thanks for the article. Nothing ventured nothing gain is the way I look at it. Marrone has NFL coaching experience and is an up and comer in the coaching ranks. Will he succeed who knows but I do know many new coaching hires fail and the Bills haven't had a successful HC since Wade Phillips left.
As far as taking EJ, the Bills were in a dam if you do and dam if you don't with the pick. The experts saying he could have lasted until round 2 and if the Bills waited an he was gone then what--pick a QB that wasn't as highly rated on the their board... They had Manuel zeroed in and went an got him plus picked up extra picks.
Welcome back everyone!!
Steve B.
|Thanks again Hugo & the rest of the RF365 crew. We appreciate this site more than ever after the Gestapo...cough...excuse me...moderators at Two Bills Drive transferred and deleted posts, and shut down our thread because I questioned why we were not allowed to talk about ceratin topics in an anything goes type thread.
I normally don't curse that much, but a big FUCK YOU goes out to the following: Beerball, Just Jack, Fig Newton, Jim in Anchorage and the rest of the TwoBitDrive Gestapo!!
No problem Goose! I hope the gamble pays off because we're long overdue. Whenever the Bills make the playoffs again, will the Bills fans storm the field like in 1988 and tear down the field goal posts?
|That was an incredible experience dealing with TBD, first it took over a week to be able to post anything and then I got suspended for w a week--still don't understand that one!!
