Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Young ladies are on the menu with Teens Cumming of Age 5, with most of the sluts in this feature topping out at about 19 years old, just ripe and ready to fuck.
Which, of course, is just how we like them. Three cheers for Aubrey Addams, a hot young blonde with a little baby fat left in her cheeks, which makes them look fetching when stuffed with a cock. She looks wonderful riding cowgirl, her body a thing of beauty.
While we're giving props, lets give some to Gwen Diamond, another wide-eyed blonde with a killer bod who looks like she was born to be drilled full of dick, which, in fact, she is, all the while begging to be called a nasty girl. Nasty, indeed.
This is quite a nice feature, and definitely solid enough to rate better-than-average.
Retailing: Hot young girls never hurt when stocking new titles.

Jeff Jarvis Is Kind of Jerky About Journalism
In which two aging writers go at it over how to mourn the death of old media.
Slate columnist Ron Rosenbaum unleashed a fusillade of attacks on new-media guru Jeff Jarvis today for "gloating too much about the death of print." Rosenbaum exhaustively recounts examples from Jarvis's speeches and his blog, showing how the former EW and Daily News editor repeatedly mocks old media institutions and makes claims like: "The fall of journalism is, indeed, journalists' fault." Rosenbaum, a journalist who straddles both worlds, is insanely offended, and attacks the writer cum Internet consultant:
Not all reporters had the prescience to become new-media consultants. A lot of good, dedicated people who have done actual writing and reporting, as opposed to writing about writing and reporting, have been caught up in this great upheaval, and many of them may have been too deeply involved in, you know, content — "subjects," writing about real peoples' lives — to figure out that reporting just isn't where it's at, that the smart thing to do is get a consulting gig.
"It makes you wonder whether Jarvis has actually done any, you know, reporting," Rosenbaum asks, lamenting his "contempt for the beautiful losers who actually made journalism an honorable profession." Citing Jarvis's own practice of not reporting out blog posts (and his book on Google), Rosenbaum didn't contact him for comment. But we did, and his response was: "I'll post later today after I — gasp! — teach my class of journalists."
Jarvis calls Rosenbaum a "pissy third-grader" and says he criticizes because he's only trying to help!
I'm not sure what he'd rather have me do: Sit in my room and mope, sitting shiva for the past? Refuse to discuss the future of journalism? Tell newspapers when they call asking for brainstorming to fuck off and die? Would that be in solidarity with my hack brethren who did too little to transform journalism in the last 13 years of the web?
"Whether we save all the journalists today is entirely another matter and not my goal," Jarvis explains. "Rosenbaum believes that makes me heartless. I think it makes me realistic. And we need some realism in this business." It goes on like that for about 1,200 words.
Ugh, if we have to spend any more time meditating on new media today, we're gonna hurl.

Great stuff
I was very much impressed at how you made such an artsy film. I especially liked how some of the weird, even crude animation contrasted with the live-action bits. I really love how the water moves in the ocean with some really great color effects. I am assuming it was a metaphor for life as the whole thing was pretty incomprehensible. I can find symbolism in this all day, like how the drain in the bathtub looks like it has a cross on it. It was extremely creative and I am glad you got recognition for it.
I have no idea what I just watched, but it was ok.
Great movie, very good style. Problem is, I'm totally confused to its actual meaning. However, that's probably my fault anyway.
Good Job!
Ahhhh how did I miss this???
Kenny boy! I can't believe how you always impress me. Such young mind but big creativity!
Thank you for using my piece, just today I've watched that one of my audio submissions was being used and I was so happy to know that you used it.
I loved this, I really did. The atmosphere mixed with the SFX chosen was the perfect combination. Your animation is improving really nicely, you should be proud of yourself.
Try to listen to Aphex's "Baskhu3epnm" and see what comes to your mind, I think it's a great song for your style.
I really hope to see more stuff from you soon. You'll be seing some of mine pretty soon too, can't wait for your thoughts of it!
I hope one day you return to Argentina, because I've told you, one day you and me will make a video! ^¬^
Take care!
Ah, Andy boy! I haven't heard from you in a while. Thanks so much for the wonderful review - it really made my morning, and probably the next 21 hours to come, as well.
The visuals that came to my mind after listening to your piece "pups" was really much of what inspired this.
Its definitely one of my favorite of your pieces that you've submitted to the NG audio portal so far, along with "short Kiss".
I've just listened to a sample of "Baskhu3epnm"... it makes me feel very free, while moving in a concentrated way - performing a task with loose instruction.
I'm going to try to find and listen to the full version.
I'm excited to see some of your new work soon, also! I've been waiting. :p
And OhYes... I definitely hope to one day return to that land of highly interesting road signs, among other things. It isn't looking like it will happen in the very near future, but there's still a chance that I might return within the next few years.
It's a piece of work, no lie. Something different never hurts. Im not all into the art and deeper meanings, but I still appreciate it to a certain degree. Although I thought the guys penis was a little bit unecessary. Amazing graphics at certain points, nice ambience. And dont be douches to all the people who dont completely understand this piece. good job though.
Morbid and Creepifying...
I actually kinda liked this one. HOWEVER, I'm a bit strange, so anything that I like must be a bit strange as well. This reminded me of CAT SOUP.
If you've never seen that animation, then another version of you must have seen it in his/her own dimension and the slow but inevitable breakdown of interdimensional borders is causing leakage from your alternate self's subconcious to pass into your own subconcious leading to this type of artistic expressionism.
Someone else said that you were simply throwing out images and sounds and stuff to try to make us feel something. Perhaps this is the case only if we have no images and sounds of our own. The farther down the rabbit hole you go the less sense things make.

Series will explore struggles that some face
Published: Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 15, 2004 at 10:07 p.m.
Trying to obtain quality health care without proof of insurance is not just a problem for the poor.
According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a national philanthropic organization devoted to health care issues, there are nearly 44 million Americans living without health coverage, including 8.5 million children.
The Foundation reported in 2002 that the number of people without health coverage had increased by more than 2 million from the previous year and that it was the largest one-year increase in a decade.
Statistics show the largest percentage of Americans younger than 55 who are uninsured is among people age 25 to 34. Almost two-thirds of the non-elderly population had employment-based insurance in 2002, and of that uninsured one-third 17 percent gets help from public sources including Medicaid, Medicare and military benefits.
Besides adequate health care, food, shelter and employment are things most people expect. This is the first in a series of articles examining these issues and others that many residents here face.
The stories will examine how issues such as health care, affordable housing and basic nutrition are affecting residents in Henderson, Polk and Transylvania counties.
If you have any ideas, information or a story about your struggles to make ends meet, contact city editor Todd Callaway at 694-7861 or by e-mail at todd.callaway@hendersonvillenews. com.

The best property management software products support multiple users and allow managers to limit user access based on their role. Management Portal is an important category because it specifies the broad spectrum of tasks a versatile property management software will offer, and draws attention to the ways that the right software solution can help save time and money.

Interactions with potential and existing tenants often require a lot of time and resources.
Tenant Portal is an important category as it streamlines several processes and allows the majority of tenant/manager interactions to take place online. Minimizing trips to the bank and improving maintenance coordination are both things a good tenant portal can help facilitate.

Many property management software products allow documents to be uploaded and stored online. In order to avoid unexpected charges, managers should be aware of how much data can be uploaded and how much it will cost.

Another important feature is a marketing website. Most property management software companies provide the tools to create and host websites. However, the price, design, usability, and overall quality can vary fairly significantly. Marketing can make a big difference in vacancy rates, and it's worth it to get it right.

Owner Portal
Owner Portal identifies the features property owners will be able to access and complete online. It is common for property managers to manage properties for multiple owners. As a property portfolio grows, the number of property owners and other interested stakeholders will also likely grow with it.
Providing owners with the ability to access financial statements, reports, and write emails reduces the need for owners to reach out to property managers directly. For managers who interact with several owners, providing an owner portal can be a huge time-saver.
The most important owner portal features
- Email Writing – Owners can send email announcements.
- Owner Portal – An owner portal exists.
- Owner Reports – Owners have online access to reports.
- Owner Statements – Owners have online access to statements.
Reporting outlines the types of reports the property management software is capable of generating. As property portfolios grow and diversify, reporting will increase in importance and most property management software products have extensive reporting capabilities. The ability to generate rent roll, unit status, and delinquency reports is common, but the best property management software will not only provide a lengthy list of available reports, but will also provide custom report functionality.
For those owners, property managers, and accountants interested in thoroughly understanding their properties, comprehensive reporting is a must.
The most important reporting features
- Accounts Payable – You can generate an accounts payable report.
- Budget Reports – You can generate a budget report.
- Custom Reports – You can generate custom reports.

- Rent Roll – You can generate a rent roll report.
- Unit Status – You can generate unit status reports.
- Vacancy Reports – You can generate vacancy reports.
Support refers to the resources provided by the property management software company aimed at resolving problems that require interacting with a support representative. Phone, email, and ticketing systems are the industry standard. The best property management software companies will also provide some form of one-on-one training and can be contacted during normal business hours via live chat.
Support is particularly important during implementation and the initial learning stage, but knowing problems and issues will be promptly resolved will always be a valued attribute.
The most important support features

Having the ability to access information and perform some basic tasks from a mobile device allows property managers to get more work done away from the office.
The most important mobile features

About the property tax relief legislation, again our legislators didnĺt act on this and itĺs no surprise. Iĺve written letters, called and nothing gets done. I also put the blame on businesses in Pennsylvania for not helping. If we wouldnĺt have property taxes, people could spend money on things and get this economy really going. Since we need a new TV and a new mattress, my sister lives in Delaware so weĺre going to do our business there.

I see that someone was wondering about the new house signs in North Coventry. You donĺt have to buy green reflective house signs. As long as your numbers are 3 inches high, you donĺt have to go buy reflective signs from the firehouse. Just go buy big numbers and put them on your house.
For the person looking for Landis Supermarket, there are four locations. They are in Telford on County Line Road, Bernfield on Shelley Road and Route 63, Perkasie on Constitution Avenue and Schwenksville on Gravel Pike. The one in Schwenksville was formerly Renningerĺs Market. Hope that helps you.
Iĺm looking to see what your take is on this tradition Ś the hot dog eating contest. Does anyone else think that itĺs sheer gluttony and a little selfish when so many people are hungry, schools and churches are closing, we canĺt feed our people and yet someoneĺs going to eat 69 hot dogs to set a record on the Fourth of July? They were even on the Today show like national heroes. I guess theyĺll wait till someone chokes and then do away with it.
To all property owners in Pottstown, the only way weĺre going to get property tax reform is not to pay our school taxes, to form a group against school taxes. Put all the money in an escrow account and they will come; they will listen.
I think it was wonderful that Barack Obama was elected the first black president in American history. But at the same time I feel that itĺs amazing how all of a sudden race has polarized this nation. Everything is about black and white. I hope that when 2016 comes and we get back to the regular politics of the nation that black and white will no longer be an issue. Barack Obama has polarized this nation and itĺs unbelievable anyway.
This is for the parents who leave their kids ride their bikes without a helmet on. A lot of time they give excuses that itĺs too hot for the kids to do. Would you rather it be too hot for your kid or brain dead or possibly dead? Use your head. Think before you leave your kids go out without a helmet on.
Can anyone give me information on getting a paternity test and where we can get this done in the area for a reasonable price?
So much for Independence Day. Right at the moment I do not feel so independent. On July 6 the property tax bill came in. So much for independence. Do you think somebody in Harrisburg could come up with a way to really make me feel independent like get rid of these property taxes so I could keep my home for a few more years?

You drive around Pottstown on roads that arenĺt really suitable to drive on all over the place, we have no money for fireworks, yet every elementary school you see is expanding and building on. Whatĺs wrong with this picture? If we donĺt have any money, we donĺt have any money.

Every team has regrets of players missed during the NFL draft. While hindsight is 20/20, that still doesn't stop fans from thinking, "What if?"
A good friend of mine still cringes every time he hears the name Bryan Thomas. Not that Thomas, the 22nd overall pick in the 2002 draft as a defensive end out of UAB, has had a bad career. If anything, he has been one of the more successful of the Jets draft picks in the last decade, still a fixture on defense and one of the team's most versatile LBs.
A graduate of the "U," my friend was praying a certain safety would be ignored by enough teams so he would wind up in the Jets' lap at 22.
The Jets at that time needed an upgrade at safety. 2001 free agent signee Damien Robinson was proving to be a bust, and longtime fixture Victor Green had just played his final season in a Jets uniform.
The defensive line was less of a need. Two drafts earlier, the Jets had taken starters Shawn Ellis and John Abraham with back-to-back selections at 12 and 13 in the first round.
Nevertheless, the announcement was made and Thomas was a Jet.
Two selections later, the Baltimore Ravens added a future Hall of Famer and arguably the best ever to play at his position when they drafted FS Ed Reed.
These things happen, though, and every team in the NFL can cry about a future Hall of Famer they missed out on (like the 22 other teams that passed on Reed, including the Raiders twice).
However, Thomas being drafted had a lot to do with the team choosing not to re-sign LB James Farrior, who vaulted and became an All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler on Steelers teams that have won three AFC Championships and two Super Bowls.
But enough about history. Lets deal with 2011.
I only bring up the past because that was a different time, and different people were making player decisions on a team that finished 10-6 in 2001. They were picked by some to win the AFC in 2002.
How the team handled their offseason and the players they brought in determined that success.
After getting off to a 2-5 start and replacing Vinny Testaverde with Chad Pennington at QB, the Jets found their rhythm and won just their second and last division title in team history. Thanks also to some help by the Patriots on the final day of the season.
Much like the 2002 offseason, the 2011 offseason has played a huge part in the success this team is having this year. Yes, the NFL strike put many teams behind the eight-ball as far as preparation goes.
All teams had to deal with the same circumstances.
As training camp moved on, and Rob Turner went down with an injury, the team's inability to provide adequate backups or replace Damien Woody on the offensive line become obvious.
Mike Tannenbaum still had three preseason games and a full month before the season started to address the issue, but somehow he failed to take the situation seriously. Instead, the front office decided to wait out Turner's leg injury (even by the most favorable outcome, he would be out until November) and cross their fingers.
They hoped the personal escort services of Wayne Hunter, Vlad Ducasse and other possible replacements (Matt Kroul, Dennis Landolt, Chris Stewart, Robby Felix, Pete Clifford, Curtis Duron, Trevor Canfield and Zane Taylor) could somehow learn to protect their third-year franchise QB.
By the final preseason game, it was obvious the cast acting as replacements were not capable of providing any kind of protection, so GM Mike Tannenbaum decided to release all the backups (with the exception of Ducasse).
He picked up Caleb Schlauderaff (a sixth round selection in the 2011 draft) in a trade with the Packers and claimed Colin Baxter off waivers from the San Diego Chargers.
If you have followed the 2011 Jets through 10 games, you have seen how these moves and the failure of the front office to bring in quality backups or find a suitable replacement for Woody have destroyed the Jets' running game.
And Sanchez is too often running for his life. The eventual help the Jets thought they had in the return of Turner never occurred, as he was put on IR and is now lost for the season.
While it's obvious to most front offices in the NFL that a solid offensive line is needed to have success, the Jets apparently forgot they had a third-year QB in Mark Sanchez.
Sanchez needs to be able to depend on a consistent running game and some sort of protection to help the Jets win. In losses at Baltimore, Oakland, Denver and home against the Patriots, the Jets' holes in their line led to turnovers and five TDs scored by opposing defenses.
After Jim Leonard went down with a season-ending leg injury in 2010, Eric Smith filled in capably, helping the Jets reach the AFC Championship for the second straight year.
This season, the return of Leonard and play of Smith should've given the Jets more depth at the safety position. However, instead of building the strength of a deeper secondary, the Jets traded Dwight Lowery—another player who helped fill the void for Leonard's injury in 2010—at the end of the preseason.
Ryan decided to then start both Smith and Leonard at safety, a combination that has been exploited time and again. First it was Jason Witten, then Ed Dickson, then Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez and Antonio Gates.
Are you getting the picture?
Opposing offenses have made Eric Smith and Jim Leonard targets. While Leonard has definite strengths, consistently matching up against physical tight ends in pass coverage is not one of them.
Smith has fewer strengths and can't be relied on as an every-down player. If he is, opponents seem to always find him. The you-know-what really hit the fan in the Patriots' exploitation of Smith on Sunday Night Football.
Gronkowski caught eight passes (seemingly every one against Smith) for 113 yards and two TDs. When Smith isn't getting burned by tight ends, it's usually because he is committing a penalty.
When Eric Mangini brought in Brian Schottenheimer as the new Jets offensive coordinator in 2006, he came with a reputation of being one of the brightest young offensive minds in the NFL.
Six seasons later, the only thing that has progressed is his age.
Sanchez is now the fourth QB that Schottenheimer has consistently worked with (Pennington, Clemens and Favre were the others). Despite this being their third season together, the Jets offense still has little, if any, fluidity.
Four of the six seasons with Schottenheimer calling plays have seen the Jets finish no better than 20th in the NFL in total yards, with two of those seasons (including the Jets current ranking at 26th) coming with Sanchez.
It's becoming more obvious the two don't work well together. Schottenheimer has been unable to exploit Sanchez's strengths and limit his weaknesses.
After 10 games this season, the Jets offense has been incapable of consistently putting together scoring drives. Anyone who has eyes can see this relationship just doesn't work.
Everyone except the Jets, who continue to allow Schottenheimer to call plays.
Like any NFL team, the Jets have their share of other inconsistencies that hinder them from week to week (lack of breakout RB, lack of consistent pass rush, occasional inability to stop the run), but they can all be corrected or covered up with good coaching.
However, the Jets can't consistently protect Sanchez or provide a consistent answer to teams exposing their safeties.
And the three-and-out show put on by their offensive coordinator will eventually stop the Jets from being an elite team this season.
Unless Ryan and Tannenbaum find replacements not currently on the roster, or take the play calling away from Schottenheimer (something that should have been done after the Broncos game), it's hard to imagine them fixing these glaring deficiencies.
If Ryan and Tannenbaum are unable to address each of these areas in the offseason, along with having the insight to see possible future shortcomings, it's hard to see the Jets taking the next step into the elite.
Unless Sanchez experiences a major upswing and turns into Aaron Rogers.
Going Green
One thing that bothers me when I have watch the Jets is their white uniforms. While the Jets can't help the decision to wear white on the road, they can control when they wear white at home.
This season, the Jets are 5-0 when they wear their green or "dark" tops (they wore their throwback blue tops in their Week 2 win over the Jaguars).
But they are 0-5 when they have dawned their white tops. I don't know how most Jets fans feel, but as an unbiased third party, I like the Jets' green tops much better than their white ones.
As one Jets fan said to me earlier this season, "Joe Walton favored the white tops at home and I still have flashbacks when I see them too much in white."

You might want to hold those shares. While I can see that short term trades could be lucrative considering the volatility, I have a feeling (and a PREC14A) that says you might get priced out as the shares move higher. Right now, it's not an issue of 50%. It's an issue of 80%. I think 80% is going to win.
Just my two cents.... I'm long.
Forgot to mention OTD is good for >25% if you are willing to wait up to 6 WEEKS.
Very well put "ruman68".
I'm just going about my merry way, pocketing 8-10% per trade on this one, holding it DAYS not weeks or months. How does it go . . . . "you haven't made a dime till you sell"?
AXJ is a strong strong strong buy under $1.30
"Prepare to meet your broker!"
no financial reports for a year either audited or unaudited E.M. Best has nothing yet to review. Don't expect an upgrade when the financial info is finally released.
Very true. This company has a rating of B (under review) as of 2004. Yet to see what it will rate for this year.
to give all these pumpers that know nothing about the P & C business a dose of reality.
The point is that long range the company is no longer viable and hasn't been for some time. P & C companies that have a Best's rating of B & below are in a death spiral from which very few ever recover.
Good luck but I just don't see it.
If you not a short, I am surprised as a smart investor that you would find yourself so emotionally involved with this stock. I have been tracking this one for about a year and you are by far the most active message poster. The point of my message was, shorting this stock has paid off for many. Howver, it takes a lot of guts to be short at this point given the current stock price and when so much bad news is built in. The risk of being short may not be worth the effort. The shorts at this point would have to bet that the company is no longer viable and that unknown negative news will evaporate the value of VTA's assets. That is a big bet.
I.m not short. I've said for some time that it may be possible to make a few $ trading this stock but that there is no long range future for this company.
How do you know all the bad news is built in? They haven't released any audited or unaudited reports since the 3rd qtr. of 2004.
They have minimal losses only because they donot operate in those states. I would not bet my money on this one. This is a loser.
Dog boy, I mean How about them dogs. This is a dangerous stock to be shorting since all the bad news is built in. While don't you go find another stock to short.

Ball rolling by dung beetles is considered to be a derived behaviour that evolved under pressure for space, and from competitors at the dung pat. Straight-line orientation away from the pat using a celestial cue should be the most successful rolling strategy to move dung to an unknown burial site. We tested this hypothesis in the field and the laboratory by presenting five species of ball-rolling beetles with different orientation tasks, involving reaction to obstacles as well as to reflected sunlight and artificial light sources. Beetles were found to consistently orientate along a chosen route, usually in the direction of the sun. Beetles rolling dung balls successfully negotiated barriers and returned to the original path as did beetles falling from ramps, or rotated about a fixed point while rolling a ball. The sun was found to be the main orientation cue, which could be substituted by reflected or artificial light. However, beetles reoriented themselves less accurately in response to lights in the laboratory, than they did to the reflected sun in the field. It is probable that phototactic orientation using the sun, which is widespread amongst arthropods, has been incorporated in the straight-line foraging behaviour that has evolved in ball-rolling dung beetles.

My application is a Windows Forms one.
I tried using the windows wallpaper, but this depends on the "Fill", "Stretch", "Fit" or "Tile" settings. I just need the image as it is on the desktop, but including the part "under" the taskbar, because this part is visible in case of transparent taskbar.
Why I need this? Because I have a tray application which slides from under the taskbar when opening. And I need to set a mask there, so it can't be seen sliding, until it reaches the top of the taskbar. Again, this is only a problem when the taskbar is transparent.

Restoration Of Nonlinearly Distorted Audio With The Application To Old Motion-Pictures
In this paper a robust and efficient method is presented for restoration of nonlinearly distorted movie soundtracks. The method is based on the a priori knowledge of the shape of the nonlinear function, which is assumed to be a static nonlinearity. The original undistorted signal is modeled by a set of harmonically related sinusoids. This signal is led through the model of the nonlinear function. The parameters of the model are determined by minimizing the difference of the modeled distorted signal and the signal of the movie soundtrack. Tikhonov regularization is applied to avoid noise intensification during the restoration process. The proposed method has been successfully applied to old motion-picture audio tracks.

The easiest way is to use "pasuspender", which tells system to temprarily suspend PulseAudio. Starting your program with it will stop PulseAudio for the period you applications runs, then it will resume PulseAudio operation.
Many times it has been said that removing PulseAudio is a bad idea and an unnecessary one. The above should work much better.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin On a 2016 Run: "I'll Never Say Never"
Posted on 03/08/2014 2:33:12 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: Do you have a favorite candidate for 2016?
SARAH PALIN: No, not yet.
VAN SUSTEREN: Nothing? Who is sort of your -- who is at the top of your list? Are you considering running?
PALIN: Who is at the top of my list.
VAN SUSTEREN: Let me back up to my other question.
PALIN: No, question at a time. I appreciate those who have fought for America, like Ted Cruz, like Rand Paul. You know though, it doesn't have to be someone who has a title today, someone in office today. In fact, some would say we need to stay clear of those who have followed a conventional political path. Maybe they are part of the problem. There are businessmen and women out there. There are strong family men and women who understand what it is that makes America exceptional and they want to protect that. They want to get back to that. Maybe someone like that will rise and be the candidate in 2016. Maybe that's what we need.
VAN SUSTEREN: Okay now I get to ask that question. Are you considering -- is it still within a possibility that you'll run in 2016?
PALIN: It sounds cliche, but you never say never. Now, I -- at this point in time, I don't have a team of people, you know, getting out there doing these poll-tested whatever they do to let you know if you should run or not. I don't have any of that kind of organization going. I'll never say never....
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Works for me!
Fox has a streamer that says Programing Alert WATCH SARAH PALIN SPEAK AT CPAC AT 6PM ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL
Can I get that on the net? TV no longer works in my neighborhood.
Grrrr..She needs to get over Rand Paul. She really does.
Making leftist a crazier since 2008
Probably at Fox News' website.
Such a great patriotic lady. Smart, accomplished, experienced and a fighter. Just have to see what happens. The Repub establishment screwed her over badly when she literally ran the McLame campaign.
She has the right stuff...time will tell. IMHO, she would not support another RINO eRepub.
If Palin runs then what the media and the Democrats will do to her and her family I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I don't think she'll run until Trig is older (unfortunately).
I doubt if she will run, but never the less, I would like to see a debate with her and Ms. Clinton. She's got to prove to the MSM that she is not stupid like they portray her.
I like Palin. But I think she cast a long, long shadow over the 2012 field by not making her intentions clear for so long. I hope she doesn't do that again for 2016. She IMO really needs to make her intentions clear by early 2015.
Governor Sarah Palin is a woman devoted to God and His Eternal, Inerrant Word. Since the foundation of America is built on Biblical principles, Governor Palin is the one uniquely qualified to restore this country to what it once was.
I love Governor Palin, and she's my first choice for president, but I don't like this answer. She needs to make herself relevant by announcing early, when the conservatives who love her will follow, or she needs to make herself relevant by announcing that she will not run early and clearing the field for other strong conservatives. America needs her to make her intentions known before Rubio, Christie, or another Bush has the nomination locked up.
Try the foxnews.com website under the 'video' tab.
Complete agreement here.
It's March of 2014. No other major party candidate has announced. Not Hillary, Rand Paul, Krispy Kreme, Marco, Bush or anyone else.
Agreed, but she should make her intentions known informally early (by the day after this November's election at the latest) and formally within a week of the first serious announcement. She should also start putting together a campaign staff if she is going to run.
Agree... and really... as much as I might like her as a candidate.... she can't win. Her role needs to be to define the discussion. To fuel the cause. Just my opinion.
The only reason she 'can't' is conservatives voting for someone else.
She's on next.
Thanks for the link. Also on CSPAN.
Next up.
Palin is not a candidate who would need to declare early. Those who declare early are usually the ones with no chance because of little name recognition, or those who nobody ever doubted would run (sitting V.P., Hilary, etc.).
There's nearly a year before any of the big names need to throw their hats in.
She'll run.
No reason not to, every reason to give it a shot.
One thing for sure: she has been vetted like no other candidate every will be. Short of a GYN which I'm sure the libs would love to do, they've dug and dredged and come up with diddly-squat. And everything they have is old news, people have heard it before. So it's all upside potential for her, to convince those who thought they'd made up their minds that maybe she's not so stupid after all, maybe she has the best ideas to build a country where their kids and grandkids might have a chance to be more than subjects or serfs.
It's if she's not running that we need to know early.
Well then ya better get your rear in gear missy.
She is knocking it out of the park at CPAC.... speaking right now
Thanks for showing her the proper respect due a former governor, fine conservative Christian lady, wife, mother, grandmother and leading light of the Tea Party movement.
Had she stayed as gov. and won re-election, she would've have been a strong candidate. But, she didn't. I don't blame her for wanting to get out and make some money after the way she was treated in '08. A gov. who didn't finish even one term isn't going to make it.
That's my opinion as well.
She's on right now
So are Bill Clinton's peccadillos but people seem to think that they are a strong issue to use against Hillary. If Palin runs then what she saw the last time is nothing compared to what the Dems will do to her and her family this time around.
Rand Paul is pro-amnesty. Cannot support that.
Go Sarah, go!
if you want to keep your doctor
And politician. I will genuflect to no politician. Even the relatively good ones.
Unless the left literally assassinates her, I'd say the founders put up with worse from the British to found this country. As for the rest of us, we should start by stomping out the PDS from our own side and right here on FR before we worry about the left... since there seem to be plenty that want to kill off her POTENTIAL candidacy before it begins.
Exactly my point.
Do I REALLY have to explain to you, at this remove, why she had to resign? And it wasn't to "make some money after the way she was treated in 2008." We've been talking about this since that day in 2009, yet there are still people here soaking up the Leftist lies about why she left. My head f^^^*** hurts!
I would vote for her if she ran a serious campaign. But I sincerely hope she does say "No" early on if she isn't going to do so. Last time she helped Romney immensely by staying on the fence until it was too late to coalesce around someone else.
Then you're a douche in this instance. Have a nice day.
That's good unless she plays hard to get so long that she keeps another conservative from building momentum.
This may surprise you: I'd support her if she ran. But I don't think she will.
It's easy to understand. Anyone repeating leftist memes isn't a conservative and should be treated accordingly. No need for aspirin. Just action.
How does one say bullshit in Crimean or Austrian?
I don't know. How do you say "How so?"
That's not why she resigned. I suggest you read up a bit more on Sarah Palin, rather than just accepting the lies told by the left.
Since you'd never use the phrase "hard to get" about a male politician I now know a little bit more about your personality than I really care to.
She had ZERO to do with Milt being the nominee last cycle. Now do you get it? The fracking voters of the several states, many of whom were probably Democrats crossing over to give us a sh***y candidate, did that. If conservatives couldn't drag themselves to the polling places, despite Johnny's soccer game or Courtney's dance recital or the game on TV, then we got who we deserved. Comprende?
Oh for heavens sake....you need to do a little research

Air Berlin Chief Hunold Quits After 20 Years as Losses Mount
Air Berlin Plc Chief Executive Officer Joachim Hunold quit after 20 years in charge as Europe's third-biggest discount airline prepares to slash routes and ground planes in an effort to stem mounting losses.
Hunold, 61, will step down on Sept. 1 and board member Hartmut Mehdorn, 66, the former chief of German state rail operator Deutsche Bahn AG, will become interim CEO. The stock traded 2.8 percent lower as of 2:06 p.m. in Frankfurt after jumping 4.4 percent when the resignation was announced.
Air Berlin will scrap unprofitable routes, cut frequencies and partially withdraw from regional airports to focus on four main hubs, the company said today in a statement. More than half of the 1 million seats that are being eliminated will go at the City Shuttle division that serves European business centers.
"I'd planned to step down for some time but thought it better to resign at this juncture so the company can make an unburdened fresh start," Hunold, who will remain as a director, said on a conference call. "I find it very hard even to conceive right now of doing anything similar somewhere else."
Hunold, who had previously worked at charter carrier LTU, joined Air Berlin as managing director and majority shareholder in 1991. American founder Kim Lundgren had to seek local owners when German reunification gave the country sovereignty over Berlin's airspace for the first time since World War II.
Full-Year Loss
"It's a surprise how quickly the resignation has come about," said Per-Ola Hellgren, an analyst at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Mainz, Germany, who is reviewing a "buy" rating on the stock. "Mehdorn is the best candidate, but it won't lead to any fundamental difference in Air Berlin's situation."
The savings measures "will possibly not suffice to obtain a positive operating result at the end of the year" as fuel costs, aviation taxes and the effects of political unrest in Arab countries weigh on earnings, Hunold said today. The board said later that it accepted his resignation with "great respect."
Air Berlin shares have declined 33 percent this year, valuing the company at 213 million euros ($307 million). Ryanair Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest discount carrier, has slipped 17 percent and EasyJet Plc, the No. 2, is down 24 percent.
'Total Overhaul'
"Something radical needs to be done to get control of the debt, bring Air Berlin back to profitability and move forward," said Joe Gill, an analyst at Bloxham Stockbrokers in Dublin. "It's been a disaster for shareholders. They need someone to totally overhaul the business model and strategy and if they can't get their cost base right they might have to just sell."
Gill doesn't have a rating for Air Berlin but has an "overweight" recommendation on Ryanair, which said May 23 it will cut capacity for the first time in its history this winter as fuel costs threaten to render dozens of routes unprofitable.
Air Berlin is a "hotchpotch" of scheduled and chartered services, short-haul and long-haul routes and unionized and non-unionized labor, operates a "mishmash" of different aircraft types and has too big a base in Palma de Mallorca, Gill said.
Among routes being cut by Air Berlin are those from Frankfurt to Naples and Hamburg, Stuttgart to St Petersburg, Munich to Cairo and Dusseldorf to Paris. The network will be focused on Berlin, Dusseldorf, Vienna and Palma, the airport for which its first flight left Berlin-Tegel in 1979.
The eight planes being dropped represent almost 5 percent of the 170-strong fleet.
Air Berlin had a second-quarter net loss of 43.9 million euros, wider than the 33.9 million euros predicted by analysts. The carrier first said on Aug. 11 that it would struggle to post a full-year profit and planned to shrink its network.

Avengers Black Widow Art Card by kevinbolkWatch
©2012-2016 kevinbolk
More Avengers art cards for my summer convention season. Here's Natasha Romanov AKA the Black Widow.
Next: "He's a spy. He's THE spy. His secrets have secrets."
Next: "He's a spy. He's THE spy. His secrets have secrets."
Black Widow is sexy - you drew her lips perfectly
Awe this is cute! Love it
love it
LoL! Identical
Sooo cute she looks.
The lips.... xDD
I think this one's my favorite out of all the Avengers art cards.
I love how this series, despite still matching your distinct style, still manages to capture to look of each actor, too.
captured her face perfectly. well done
Cute chibi.
Lovin' the pose.
"He killed eighty people in two days."
About goddamn time! I've been jonesin' for those titties!
Even with the chibified proportions, this is way more intimidating than Scarlett ever looked in the movie.
Ah, lovely black widow.
At first, I thought Scarlett Johanssen as Black Widow was beautiful...now, I just want to hug the crap out of her....
That totally sounded less weird in my head.
Great stuff once again Mr. Bolk.
That totally sounded less weird in my head.
Great stuff once again Mr. Bolk.
This one's my favourite by far! You captured her likeness in this one; when I glanced at it, I was immediately like YUP THAT'S SCARLETT'S FACE
terricfic work dude i like it
I love that line. "His secrets have secrets."
Please do Loki too
Heh heh, I was wondering if she'd get a pin-up pose or not. Again, great job making her look like Scarlett. And sweet gun.
Ooh la la!
She's such a Badass. xD
I love her hair.
Russia sucks.
She's okay.
She's okay.
Are you, by chance, selling thse at Animazment? It would be pretty awesome if you wereeee!
Indeed I am. See ya' there.
I actually can't go to Animazment this year due to a wedding, so I hope you can come next year. It would be awesome if you were coming somewhere near my family in Pennsylvania sometime in July, thoughhh.
Badass! XD
Her face looks so much like hers! Nice work, but too much cleveage on show though. XD
I say, the only sane avenger
That's quite a bit of cleavage there. Don't remember seeing that in the movie.....
Love the Avenger's Art Cards!
my favorite one yet!

Re: ? on AMEX CLI

The higher the initial limit the more chancey it is asking for a 3X increase. I have a $25k limit on a SPG card but it would be foolish to think AMEX would increase this to $75k, even with some manual review. They would have some real heartburn with it. If it was me I'd ask for $25k which should fly within their automated system, do you really need the extra $3k??
Would be ideal to get this CL to match my current highest CL

Clean room and everything is perfect working order.
Hotel offers shuttle service and is close to the offsite rental car lot
Both wired and wireless internet – wired was 1.99 Mbps download and 0.94 Mbps upload.
Desk has (4) outlets. Two on the wall and two as part of the desktop lamp. A+ for this!
My only disappoint is the heater / air con is next to the desk and air blows directly on you while working at desk. Not possible to adjust the vents. A very poor room design in this regard.
Pavilion Pantry lacked any Coca-Cola sodas which is unusual for a HGI

NEW YORK (AP) — Noah Syndergaard is making the New York Mets see double, and that's not good.
Slow to the plate from the stretch, Syndergaard keeps turning singles and walks into virtual two-base hits. The San Francisco Giants swiped three bases off him Sunday, taking advantage of his mechanics to score four runs in a 6-1 victory that stopped the Mets' eight-game winning streak.
"It's very frustrating for me," Syndergaard said.
Madison Bumgarner pitched through rain to extend his Citi Field scoreless streak to 18 innings, and Hunter Pence homered and drove in three runs.
Syndergaard allowed five steals in his previous start against Cincinnati and...

Ramon Bilbao Single Vineyard
In the heart of Spain's best known wine region, Ramón Bilbao owns a vineyard near the town of Tudellia, one of the best places for the production of wine in the Rioja Alta region. Ramón Bilbao has a wine house with a long history that dates back to the beginning of the last century.
This is a round and luscious red wine. Deeply coloured with the smell of black fruit, in which you can detect a bouquet of brambles, strawberries and blackcurrants as well as aromatic herbs and a hint of vanilla. The flavour is round and luscious, and you can almost taste the sun on the slopes and the cool nights in the mountains were the grapes were grown, with a beautiful finish in length and flavour.
This excellent wine is lovely with a wide variety of dishes like roast meat, tapas, wild game and mature cheeses. Also very delicious to drink in between meals.
Cava Palau
The makers of this sparkling wine certainly have a name to uphold, as they are ranked in the top three Cava producers in Spain. The proprietor, Manuel Sancho, and his daughters have succeeded in improving the quality on an almost yearly basis through good organization and investment in new technologies. Unbelievable value for this price: a wine following the true 'methode traditionelle' of fermentation in the bottle, made from the classic Cava grapes – Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel-Lo.
This is a fine sparkling wine with a soft, fruity flavour. Featuring aromas of green apples and a smooth, full bodied finish. Ideal for large receptions and parties.
