Lautenberg to Pro-Life Republicans: 'Dont Go Near My Daughters'...but hey, if some abortionist wants to rip apart my grandchildren, I'm okay with it.
Listening to the indignant cries of wrath from a thief about to be denied access to my pockets makes it seem like this is bizarro world -such is the leftist mindset.
As long as your daughters do not stick their hands in my pockets looking for abortion 'family planning' monies I see no problems...
Great one!!!

Call of Duty: Elite trailer urges you to "play together better"
This new trailer highlights some of the ways Call of Duty: Elite can make your gaming life better, while mysteriously failing to mention how not screaming abuse into the mic would definitely help.
Activision announced last week that the service, which suffered a rocky launch, was at 95% and expected to be running smoothly within days.
Despite its problems, the service attracted over 1 million premium subscribers within six days.
Tellingly, the trailer encourages players to get Elite on their consoles – no mention of the PC version, which was expected to launch alongside other platforms right up until the end of October. The publisher has been unable to provide an ETA on the PC version as yet.
Thanks, EvilAvatar.

I'm trying to show that the price of a European call option (payoff function is $(S_1-K)^+$) in a no-arbitrage market is a decreasing and convex function of K. That it shall be decreasing makes sense; as $K$ increases, $S_1-K$ decreases and we make less profit. But why shall it be convex?
Let the price of an option at strike $K$ be given by $V(K)$. To say that the price is convex in the strike means that
$$V(K-\delta) + V(K+\delta) > 2 V(K)$$
for all $K>0$ and $\delta>0$. Let's assume that the opposite is true, i.e. that there exist tradeable option contracts expiring on the same date such that
$$V(K-\delta) + V(K+\delta) \leq 2 V(K)$$
I therefore buy a contract at $K+\delta$ and one at $K-\delta$, and finance my purchase by selling two of the options at $K$ (which I can do, because the two options struck at $K$ are at least as expensive as the other two combined).
At expiry the price of the stock is $S$, and my total payout is
$$P = (S-(K-\delta))^+ + (S-(K+\delta))^+ - 2(S-K)^+$$
Now there are four regimes:
So I have the possibility of making a profit, but no possibility of making a loss - which is an arbitrage. Since no arbitrages exist, the option price must be convex in the strike price.

Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve, OQ (born April 9, 1971), is a Canadian automobile racing driver and amateur musician. He is the son of Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve, and is the namesake of his uncle, who was also a racer. Villeneuve won the... 1995 CART Championship, the 1995 Indianapolis 500 and the 1997 Formula One World Championship, making him only the third driver after Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi to achieve such a feat. To date, no other Canadian has won the Indianapolis 500 or the F1 Drivers' title.
Connect any celebrity with Jacques Villeneuve to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
I had no idea he was in Cars 2. And does anyone have an idea whom he's dating right now?

So there I was waiting for the real jetstream, know what I mean? But what did I get? I got the right people in what appears to be the wrong movie. I can't begin to tell you what the plot is about. It has something to do with a slot machine where every time our heroine pulls the lever she gets involved in some erotic fantasy, either as a participant or voyeur. The box cover has an entirely different story. So how do I write a review when I am not sure if you are going to see the same movie I did? Let's try this out.
What I see is a very well-photographed, very erotic sexvid, featuring great couplings between Liz Randall and Francois Papillon, and Marc Wallace and Buddy Davis. What I also see is typical of the shot-on-video genre. I have referred to it in the past as the "hey, we have a bed, let's make a movie syndrome." And when we are done, since there is never such a thing as a story to tie them down, we can call it anything. And if by mistake we put the wrong movie to the wrong credits, no one will ever notice.
I love adult video, but maybe I've seen one too many of these things. Perhaps I need a vacation.

After months of planning, the Abbeville Regional Cultural Arts Alliance, ARCAA, is now a reality.
"What we are trying to do as concerned citizens is get together to raise money and raise awareness for the arts in Abbeville, we have a performing arts center called the Jack Carr Performing Arts Building, it had plays that came into town we had New Orleans jazz band, we would sunrise services," said Sarah Williams, Vice President of ARCAA.
"The Jack Carr Cultural Arts Center was hit by a tornado several years ago and ever since then the building has been deserted but the ARCAA wants to change that.
"In all our schools when money is cut the arts are cut," said Williams.
And the community seems to be on board.
"I believe its a good thing we need things like that that's very important to the city and the young people," said Oscar Hoggins, local businessman.
The center isn't just for Abbeville residents.
"That's why we put regional in it because we want our arts center to spread to the whole region and give the people in the whole Wiregrass a chance to participate so we have big dreams for the arts center," said Williams.
For more information on the ARCAA contact the Abbeville Chamber of Commerce.

"Algae, Pipelines, and More"
The 15th Annual Great Lakes Water Conference
Friday, November 6, 2015
U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur was the keynote speaker at the 15th annual Great Lakes Water Conference on November 6 at The University of Toledo College of Law. An article about her remarks is available on the Toledo Blade web site.
The conference, sponsored by the College of Law and its Legal Institute of the Great Lakes, also featured three panels of experts. The Algae panel explored legal solutions to the harmful algal blooms plaguing Lake Erie; the Pipelines panel focused on challenges arising from an important network of petroleum pipelines near valuable water resources; and the More Hot Topics speakers discussed a controversial new rule defining the scope of the Clean Water Act, a recent Ohio Supreme Court decision impacting impaired waters, and a proposed diversion of water out of the Great Lakes basin.
For more information about the conference, see the conference brochure and other press coverage.

very nice room with a great view, nice and clean, food was good
The grounds were very nice and clean. Beach area was very clean. Staff was very nice

A fire alarm making noise at 1:50 and 3am
Location and security
It is a shame that on St Pat's Day the piano bar was not open. We thought there would be entertainment as it was stated. There was little to choose from for dining.
Excellent location, shopping, restaurants and beaches all minutes away. Great RV park for families with small children, everything was very clean, well kept and convenient.
There wasn't anything we didn't like, if we HAD to come up with a flaw it would be the bed was not comfortable.
We were in a cabin and it was perfect for us. Being on the water was especially nice. The staff was helpful and very pleasant.

Sarah Jessica Parker has come down with a case of PTP – as in "protect the plot" – and the "disease" is spreading to her Sex and the City 2 costars.
"We hope we made a movie that lives up to expectations," Parker told PEOPLE at Las Vegas's ShoWest convention Thursday.
Joined by Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis (Kim Cattrall is working on a play in London), the three, who received the Ensemble Award, refused to give any spoilers about the highly anticipated movie that was filmed in the Moroccan desert.
"We've never laughed harder or talked more or spent more time together," Parker said, adding that the women rode camels in one scene, making for some hysterical outtakes.
"The camels were beautifully trained," she said. "Cynthia and Kristin were on one camel and they had the most grumpy, ornery camel. Ours was so sweet, but then out of nowhere our camel would sit. You have to understand, it's not like a bike and the bike fell over. It's a camel, and the camel would just sit. And when they sit, it's a little like an earthquake. We laughed so hard."
"That was the most exotic, beautiful thing we did," Nixon said.
One reason why they've managed to keep the plot shrouded in secrecy? The isolated location where they filmed.
"There were no roads," Nixon said. "You couldn't drive over roads to get to the desert. You would have to drive over sand."
Added Parker: "We had to make our own roads."
"It was scary the first day," Davis said of the drive to the shooting location. "It was an adventure like no other."

BEIJING -- Two months ago, Mike Day made the biggest decision of his six-year BMX racing career. He skipped the world championships in China and remained at the Olympic training center in Chula Vista, Calif., to train on the course known as "The Duplicate," an exact replica of the Olympic BMX course in Beijing.
U.S. trials were coming up in June, and the 22-year-old Day believed a win there was his only shot at making the team. Kyle Bennett, the third-ranked rider in the world, had already qualified on points, and Day's biggest remaining competition, world No. 1 Donny Robinson, seemed a lock for the coaches' pick.
Day decided the extra training time was worth passing up a shot at winning his first world championship. "It was either the smartest or the stupidest decision of my life," Day said back in June.
After he dominated at trials, his decision seemed very smart. But after his performance on the opening day of Olympic competition Wednesday morning, it seemed brilliant.
Day not only had the fastest time of 35.692 in the morning's two time trials, but he was also the only rider to win all three of his quarterfinal heats and qualify for Thursday's semifinals in first place overall. "Today was a good day," Day said while hanging out in the athlete hospitality suite with his dad, cousin Meghan and her husband, Seth, who were wearing bright yellow "Mike Day Fan Club" T-shirts designed by Day's U.S. teammate Jill Kintner.
"Mike made a big statement by skipping the world championships to train," said Andy Lee of USA Cycling. "Today, it was obvious the time and work was worth it."
Day's performance was nothing short of spectacular, especially in a sport as volatile as BMX racing -- and on a super-sized supercross course designed for carnage. The two fastest riders in the women's field, Shanaze Reade of Great Britain and Anne-Caroline Chausson of France, each crashed in one of their two time trials. Bennett went down hard in his third of three quarterfinal heats and is questionable for Thursday's semifinals.
In that heat, Dutch rider Raymon van der Biezen was leading the pack out of the first turn when he lost control of his bike and slid out in front of Bennett. After several minutes of medical attention -- the U.S. team doctor had to pop Bennett's dislocated left shoulder back into place -- he got back on his bike and rode, one-handed, through the finish. Bennett qualified into the next round on the strength of his first and second heats, but his coaches say he's a "game-time decision" for Thursday's semifinal.
"Structurally, he's fine," Lee said. "But it will be a question of how much pain he can take tomorrow."
Bennett's teammates believe pain won't be an issue.
"This is the Olympics," Day said. "He came here to race. He'll be there."
As will the other three members of Team USA, and three men will race in the same semifinal heat. Robinson finished third in his quarterfinal heat (the top four riders in each heat qualify into semifinals) and Kintner, the only female on the U.S. team, qualified seventh out of 16 riders. Her qualifying time of 37.913 was more than a second faster than her personal best on this track.
"I was nervous before my first run," Kintner said while walking her bike through the fan section, stopping every three feet to pose for a photo or sign an autograph. "But after that, I felt good."
Nerves were running high for more than just the athletes. The addition of BMX is the most recent attempt to "youthanize" the Olympics, and the sport is expected to draw a new, younger, hipper audience.
Organizers are banking on BMX doing for the Summer Games what snowboarding has done for the Winter Olympics. But it's taken snowboarding 12 years to create an international fan base and star athletes who are recognized around the world. BMX is expected to thrill right out of the gate.
"We were all a little nervous at first," Lee said. "I didn't see the TV broadcast, but the drama and excitement that was expected to translate to TV was there in person."
In other words: So far, the sport is delivering.
"It's so exciting," said USA triathlete Sarah Haskins, who made the early morning trek to the Laoshan BMX venue, about an hour west of the Olympic Green, to support the team. "I can't believe eight people go down that drop and make that turn. My sport involves cycling, but nothing like this."
Seated just a few rows below Haskins was BMX legend Bob Haro, who founded the Haro Bicycle Corporation in 1978 and recently designed the blue checkerboard Nike kicks the U.S. BMX team wore Wednesday.
"I'm a first-generation guy, and in the beginning our sport was so obscure. It was such a humble, backyard sport," he said. "To see the TV coverage, the media, the fans -- and the respect -- it's amazing."
And that's just after Day 1.

Nick Markosian, Jr. (5.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.5 spg)
Ryan Pauley, So. (5.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.3 apg, 1.0 spg)
Easton Withers, Jr. (4.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.4 apg, 0.2 spg)
Scoring offense: 49.5 ppg (22nd in 3A)
Scoring defense: 52.2 ppg (11th in 3A)
Last state championship: Juan Diego (2005 2A)
Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to Desert Hills in first round.
Edward's evaluation: Juan Diego played a quality mix of 5A, 4A and 3A teams this season, and was an up-and-down team throughout. Desert Hills will arguably be the best team the Soaring Eagle will have played all year, and they'll need to play a near-perfect game to pull off the upset.
Judge Memorial Bulldogs (15-6)
Coach: Dan Del Porto
How qualified: Finished first in Region 10 with a 10-0 record.
Playoff opener: vs. Dixie, Saturday, 6 p.m.
Best preseason victory: A 62-42 win at East on Dec. 7.
Best region victory: A 58-46 win at Wasatch on Jan. 17.

Last state championship: 2008
Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to Desert Hills in semifinals.
Edward's evaluation: If anyone is capable of spoiling the Region 9 party in the state tournament, it's probably Judge. It plays excellent defense, has one of the best point guards in 3A and one of the best big men in 3A. To win a state championship, Judge would likely have to beat three Region 9 teams, including two in St. George.

Nimesulide is a selective COX-2 inhibitor used in a variety of inflammatory, pain and fever states. After oral administration the drug is rapidly and extensively absorbed. Nimesulide is rapidly distributed, extensively bound to albumin and eliminated with a terminal half-life of about 4 h. Excretion of the unchanged drug in urine and faeces is negligible. Nimesulide is mainly cleared from the body by metabolic transformation and the principal active metabolite is the 4′-hydroxyl derivative (M1). After oral administration, nimesulide shows linear pharmacokinetics in the dose range from 25 to 100 mg. The usual therapeutic regimen is 100 mg p.o. twice daily. The pharmacokinetic profiles of nimesulide and M1 in children and elderly do not differ from those of healthy young subjects. The pharmacokinetics of nimesulide and M1 are not altered in moderate renal impairment. Pharmacokinetic interactions between nimesulide and other drugs given in combination were absent or of no clinical significance.

Next Wednesday the oldest fixture in international football returns as England face Scotland at Wembley.
The most famous encounter in living memory for most England fans was at Euro 96 when Paul Gascoigne hooked the ball over Colin Hendry's head and volleyed past Andy Goram as the Three Lions ran out 2-0 winners in north London.
Of all the players at Hodgson's disposal, Rooney is the most likely to pull off a match-winning feat such as Gascoigne's.
But with the Manchester United striker's recent injury problems over the last few weeks, he may not be included in Hodgson's squad when it is announced at 2pm on Thursday.
Rooney, who has been the subject of two unsuccessful bids from Chelsea this summer, has not played in pre-season due to first a hamstring injury and then a shoulder problem.
United manager David Moyes on Tuesday night cast doubt over whether 27-year-old would be fit for Rio Ferdinand's testimonial on Friday, and possibly even the Community Shield clash against Wigan on Sunday, so should Hodgson select Rooney he could well link up with the national squad having not kicked a ball in anger so far this summer.
While Hodgson will put more importance on next month's hugely important qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine, it is safe to say the England manager could do with his attacking talisman being fit for next week because of a series of injuries that has reduced his attacking options.
Andy Carroll is out until September with a heel injury, Jermain Defoe is a doubt because of a hamstring niggle while Daniel Sturridge only returned to training on Monday after his pre-season was blighted by an ankle problem he suffered against the Republic of Ireland in May.
That means Danny Welbeck is the only regular England striker who is fully fit.
Hodgson could opt for one up front against the Scots, or push Ashley Young, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Theo Walcott forward to play off the main striker's shoulder.
Another option is the inclusion of Southampton striker Rickie Lambert, who scored 15 league goals last season, or recent Manchester United signing Wilfried Zaha.
The good news for England is that captain Steven Gerrard is back after missing three of the last four games while Arsenal's Jack Wilshere is likely to be named in the squad after enjoying an injury-free pre-season with Arsenal.
The return of the duo will offset the disappointment of being without Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, who is expected to miss out with an Achilles injury.
John Ruddy missed Euro 2012 after breaking a finger in the build-up to the tournament and he was ruled out of most of last season with a thigh injury.
The goalkeeper has played the vast majority of Norwich's pre-season campaign, however, and he looks likely to be recalled if he overcomes a slight back problem.
Hodgson also has an England Under-21 squad to pick after he agreed to take charge of the youngsters for Tuesday's match against their Scottish counterparts at Bramall Lane.
The England boss is likely to look at a number of fresh faces following the team's winless performance at the European Championship which cost Stuart Pearce his job.
Steven Caulker, Tom Lees and Nathaniel Clyne are just three of 13 players from that squad who are now over-age, meaning there will be a host of new additions.
Promising Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, who missed the tournament in Israel with a back injury, is likely to be called up.

On July 2009, the University of Bradford, England, awarded Peter with the Honorary Graduate Degree for his work as an actor.
When Peter appeared on Top Gear in June 2008, he revealed he once left a Mercedes 300 CE Coupe (1966) in a St. John's Wood car park for two years while he was in the US. He now drives a Maseratti.
Other than Equus, Peter also starred in another Peter Shaffer play: Amadeus. But this time when it went to Hollywood, he did not recreate the role. It went instead to Tom Hulce.
Peter has recorded the audio version of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles on CD, a story he also appeared in on film.
Peter Shaffer did not revive his play Equus until 2007 because he believed Peter's 1973 performance could not be bettered.
Academy Awards
Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Equus (1978) (Nomination)
Evening Standard British Film Awards
Most Promising Newcomer - Actor for Equus (1977) (Won)
Golden Globes
Best Supporting Actor for Equus (1977) (Won)
Tony Awards
Best Actor (Dramatic) for Equus (1975) (Nomination)
Action and Adventure Winner, for White Angel in the Best Actor category (1993).
Peter's first major (title) role as an adult was in the title role in a 1976 BBC Television Play of the Month adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Peter is very good friends with his Equus (1977) co-star Jenny Agutter, who also starred with him in Spooks (aka in the US as MI-5 (2002).
In July 1973, Peter received his big break by winning the leading role of disturbed adolescent Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer's play Equus, which was performed by the National Theatre at the Old Vic in London. He also recreated this notable part in the film version of Equus.
Peter admits that he initially became interested in acting because he liked this girl who was apart of a local theatre group, he joined to impress her.
Peter made his film debut at the age of 18 in Franco Zeffirelli's Fratello sole, sorella luna (1972).
Peter was a child actor on British television, who began his career in 1968, and is most famous in the UK for his part in children's show DoubleDeckers.
Peter is approximately 5' 9" (1.75 m) tall, with brown eyes.
Peter played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the Broadway production of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus in 1981, with Sir Ian McKellen as Salieri.
Peter was listed as one of twelve "Promising New Actors of 1977" in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 29. [1977].
(on Spooks)
Peter: This show is not a documentary about the Security Services, it is entertainment so we have license to make it look as we imagine it might look.
(Talking about his character in "Spooks")
Peter: Harry is a fun character to play. We don't have a lot of back story or character analysis in Spooks, it is plot driven and, as such, the story is really the important thing. I know a lot about Harry that the audience probably don't know. I like to try and give them a glimpse of that, even though it is not provided by the script.
(on the show "Spooks")
Peter: There's no security in show business anyway and certainly no security in Spooks because you may not make it to the end of the episode. The first thing all the actors do is check the script, see if you make it to the end... you never know. It's a very good negotiating tool for the producers. (Laughs)
(on the show "Spooks")
Peter: Another strength is that we kill our heroes and no other television show does that.
(commenting wryly on "Spooks" on Breakfast TV)
Peter: The plot does take second place to flair and style.
(commenting on the US reaction to "Spooks" in November 2007, with particular reference to Series 6)
Peter: The series did very well there for the first four years and now they've stopped showing it because we've taken too much of an anti-American stand in the stories. Americans don't like that. They'll take it from themselves. In West Wing they criticise their foreign policy. But I don't think they'll take it from foreigners. Certainly not from the British. And if they were to see this series, they'd be absolutely horrified, because it does have quite a strident opinion about American foreign policy.
(on the Dominick Hyde plays he starred in during the early 80s)
Peter: Reaction to that has never gone away. It was fantastically insightful. I spoke to the writer recently and he's just sold the idea to a Hollywood film company and they're going to make a modern version of it.
(on why he keeps going in "Spooks" as Harry Pearce)
Peter: Why am I still here? A combination of resilience, dedication and also the need to give some consistency to the storyline.
(on watching Daniel Radcliffe perform on stage in "Equus", a role he played both on stage and screen)
Peter: I went on the first night and sat in the third row. Not through choice, I was very kindly invited. So it was a bit of a flashback. It was a little strange watching it, because it was a big part of my life. I knew most of the lines, which was amazing. It's burned in there.
(on wanting to do more stunts on "Spooks")
Peter: I'm a bit jealous that I can't leap around like the younger members of the cast. I asked for more stunts so they gave me a scene in which a car screeches to a halt and I jumped out and ruptured my calf muscle. So that was the last of my stunts - and my self-respect!
(on the appeal of Harry Pearce in "Spooks")
PeterThere's a hard core out there of middle-aged ladies who would take tea with him. There's something for everyone in Spooks.
(on the show "Spooks")
Peter: The beauty of Spooks is that you never know what – or who – is round the corner. As soon as the scripts arrive I check to see if I've made it to the end! I've seen characters come and go.

Re: Paying Down Installmen
[ Edited ]
t Loan - as Effective as Paying Down Credit Cards?
04-18-2013 04:37 PM - edited 04-18-2013 04:37 PM
Revolving util far outweighs installment util. In fact, installment util is a teeny tiny part of FICO scoring. The only experience I had was paying off a car note from 25% to 0%. I saw a gain on EQ, but I think most of that was due to adding another $0 balance.
ETA....and I'll add that this is a good thing. If you add a $500k mortgage you won't see a large score ding for staying at or near 100% util while the balance slowly goes down.

I'm reading it right now. I saw a preview for the movie a couple months ago and thought it looked like it could be a really good movie. So I picked it up from the library. :)
Wow. I just finished it. It's a really great book. Now I know I have to see the movie when it comes out
LOVED it!
FF, CS, BW, ERF, DD, Doitmyway mama!
I loved it too. I hated reading the last page, because I knew I was going to miss the characters.
Everyone I know loved it. Maybe I should try again
Love to read? Please join our SAHM book club!
I have philosophical problems with this book and can't get into it the way everyone else seems to. I'm going to try and finish it when I finish the Song of Ice and Fire series I'm knee deep in.
"Marriage is just like a larva stage for true happiness, which is divorce." --Louis C.K.
I just started it, like I'm on ch 4?
I'm going to the premier of the movie with a friend, so I figured I should read it.
I had to buy it because I was #368 on the wait list at the library.
I don't know when this whole fad of drinking water started
I haven't read it but I am number 12 on the waitlist..... in large print lol I was going to be 100+ for regular print.
So, my suggestion for anyone on the wait list at their library.... sign up for the large print!

Hairston Goes Deep Twice for the Mets
It was only an intrasquad game, but for a player trying to make the Opening Day roster, every bit counts. Outfielder Scott Hairston, who is vying for a spot on the Mets' bench, hit two home runs in a tune-up for the Grapefruit League Friday at Digital Domain Park. "He showed us exactly why we brought him here," manager Terry Collins said. The Mets will play their first official spring game Saturday against the Braves.

Coughlin Responds to Rolle's Criticism
It's been five weeks since safety Antrel Rolle (pictured below) went on a Miami radio station and unfavorably compared his own coach, the Giants' Tom Coughlin, to the brash and unfiltered Jets coach Rex Ryan. Rolle said Coughlin was "too uptight," and wished he'd loosen up some. Asked publicly for a response to Rolle's comments for the first time Friday, at the NFL combine, Coughlin grinned and said, "He should've seen me a few years ago. That's my response."

|Hike Distance
NOTE FROM artTrekker
Just wanted to let you know I found Peace II on September 22. I also tried to get to Bombs Away--I could actually get past the boulders, and also past the spot where the right side of the road had fallen away, but further on, deep ruts stopped me and I turned around. I also wanted to
let you know that I put your little ziploc package in a round tin, so it has more protection now. Thanks for planting!
This box was supposed to be a hitchhiker placed with Bombs Away however, the road was closed so it became of box (bag) of its own. Take the road to the bomb site which is the turnoff on South Bank Road on the side of the Chetco River bridge. Drive up and make the turn when you see the sign that says Bomb Site Trail 9-1/2 miles. When we were there there was a sign laying by the side of the road that said "Road Closed 3-1/2 miles ahead." We went anyway and sure enough, 3-1/2 miles up this gravel road there were big rocks blocking the way. We backed up and turned around (we had a rental SUV) and went back down about 2/10ths of a mile where there is a pretty rocky stream. The box (bag) is hidden under the 7th rock from the rock that is jetting out over the culvert counting the jetting rock as #1.
This is a scarry ride be sure you have all wheel drive available. It took us 45 minutes to get this far.

Cast: Otto Bauer, Carly Parker, Sheila Marie, Harmony Rose, Havana Ginger, Kaylee Love Cox, Angela Stone, Jenner, Tyla Wynn, Kaiya Lynn, Delilah Strong, Krystal Waters
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Accompanied by the strong rock soundtrack of Blackline, this mostly oral effort is for those strong of stomach and in love with saliva.
Delilah Strong is a total bitch until she's swallowing dick, and Havana Ginger looks beautiful even covered in slobber. Harmony Rose begs her platonic friend to get physical, and winds up with an unwanted boyfriend who begs to be cuddled.
Carly Parker wants to be a star and thinks Otto Bauer holds the key, and although Kaiya Lynn was expecting someone else, she cheerfully gets her face lathered up by a stranger.
Kaylee Love Cox quickly becomes an absolute mess, Angela Stone works her way through daddies, and submissive Sheila Marie takes a thick facial blast. Krystal Waters gets some 69 action, and Tyla Wynn coaxes cock towards her.
Retailing: Plenty of saliva and deep face dicking for the fan of both.

Giving Up Sovereignty Is a High Price to Save a Currency U.K. Never Adopted
"A far away country … [with] people of whom we know nothing." So said Neville Chamberlain of Czechoslovakia in 1938. If David Cameron and his Tory colleagues were not so familiar with Corfu, they might say the same of Greece. They would be as wrong about the consequences for Britain as was Chamberlain. Recall: Mr. Cameron negotiated peace in his time with the anti-EU faction of his party by promising to call a referendum before allowing any additional transfers of sovereignty from Westminster to Brussels. The Prime Minister quite reasonably assumed that the Lisbon Treaty would not be revised during the life of this Parliament.
Along came the Greek debt crisis and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The tawdry tale of Greek profligacy needs no repeating. Nor does the decision of its euroland colleagues to bail it out, with Germany bearing the major share of the financial burden. Germans worked hard to become competitive in world markets, and have been rewarded with an unemployment rate three percentage points below the EU average of 10%. No surprise that German voters resent seeing the fruits of their labors eaten by retirement-loving, work-shy Greeks who partied while they sweated and saved.
Everything is in place for a bit of artful recasting of the prime minister's referendum pledge. Austerity does not seem to be reducing Greece's deficit at the pace promised when its government pried bailout money from the IMF and Brussels. Tax revenues are falling short of expectations, either because the crackdown on evasion is falling short of its goals, or because the International Monetary Fund's warning that austerity will stifle growth and tax receipts is proving prescient.
So, more bailouts will be required. More important, the euroland authorities have decided that some form of permanent system of discouraging deficits in excess of 3% of GDP, and debt in excess of 60% of GDP, must be put in place. While the national finance ministers were meeting in Luxembourg to come up with a plan, the German chancellor and the French president decided to show who really runs the euro zone. Ignoring EU president Herman Van Rompuy, smaller nations and the eurocracy, the Franco-German alliance announced that it will seek to have the Lisbon Treaty amended to incorporate a provision setting up a permanent bailout fund, and to strip nations that breach EU fiscal rules of their voting rights in the EU. Late Saturday, EU leaders capitulated, and signed on to the plan to amend the Lisbon Treaty.
Note that this plan covers all EU members, not only those countries that replaced their own currencies with the euro. If subjecting Britain to fines if the eurocracy doesn't approve of its fiscal policy, and being able to call on British cash for bailouts isn't a further transfer of sovereignty from Britain to Brussels, it is difficult to tell what is. Lib Dem europhiliacs will be delighted, true blue Tory euroskeptics will be outraged, and Mr. Cameron will struggle to find reasons to avoid the threat posed to his coalition were he to go ahead with the promised referendum.
There is every indication that he will find language the satisfies him that his referendum pledge is "inoperative," as Richard Nixon once said about his promises. The prime minister has already tolerated a transfer of regulatory power over City affairs to three new European regulators who at best will only meddle in Britain's financial sector, and at worst will overrule home-grown regulators. He has also not done anything effective to prevent the eurocracy from imposing new costs on British industry—extended maternity benefits being a case in point.
Mr. Cameron's position on the new EU budget provides a further unnerving clue to the future. On the campaign trail he promised to fight tooth and nail to scupper any increase in the EU budget. The original proposal of a 6% increase was estimated to cost British taxpayers close to £1 billion. Mr. Cameron rode to the rescue, and claims credit for having the increase cut approximately in half. Never mind his no-increase pledge: To the delight of Mrs. Merkel and his new European friends, the prime minister has agreed to burden British taxpayers with approximately £500 million of new costs, a small price to pay for the approbation of Chancellor Merkel & Co.
Now, the Lisbon Treaty is to be amended so that the failure of Greece, Portugal and Ireland to get their deficits under control will require Britain to contribute to future bailouts to save the euro, which Britain wisely refused to adopt.
The eurocracy will say that because the treaty is being reopened for "limited purposes" only, there is no need for new referenda. Unfortunately for Mr. Cameron, "the limited purposes" include just the sovereignty transfer the prime minister has promised to resist.

Making Music: Dan Wilson
Standing as the premier long-format live interview series in the Twin Cities, the University of Minnesota's Whole Music Club's "Making Music" has established itself as a staple in the music scene, consistenly hosting discussions that offer insight into the minds of local and national artists. Now well into its ninth season, "Making Music" follows a celebrated list of artists including Andrew Bird, Atmosphere's Slug, and Andrew Broder by welcoming the Grammy-winning vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Dan Wilson to the Whole's intimate setting. Since the late '80s, Wilson has established himself as one of the preeminent musical voices in the Twin Cities, both through his work as a solo artist as well as with Trip Shakespeare and Semisonic. In 2007 Wilson was recognized with Song of the Year honors at the Grammy Awards, having co-written the Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice"—but that hasn't served to distance Wilson from the scene where he began, as he remains a regular at local concerts as both a spectator and a performer. In addition to a live interview, Wilson will also perform. All ages.

Friendships that change your life often start with the most curious beginnings.
In the spring of 1974, I was finishing up my college career playing for John Wooden and the UCLA Bruins. We were part of one of the great runs in the history of college basketball, well on our way to UCLA's eighth consecutive NCAA championship. But on a glorious March evening in the Sonora Desert dustbowl outpost of Tucson, Ariz., the mighty Bruins ran into a bunch of no-names from Dayton, Ohio.
Rolling to what should have been one of our easier games of the season, we kept finding ourselves unable to distance ourselves from the up-start Flyers in that first-round NCAA Tournament game. We had so much talent on that UCLA squad: Keith Wilkes, Dave Meyers, Marques Johnson, Greg Lee, Andre McCarter, Pete Trgovich and of course the master himself, Coach Wooden. Yet Dayton matched us point for point, run for run. We rarely played many close games in our years at UCLA (1972-74) much less faced a situation where we actually lost a game. But as things turned out that fateful night, Dayton stayed right with us and the game went into overtime. Then a second, then a third, as we kept asking ourselves, "Who are these guys?"
Coach Wooden never scouted any opponent, never mentioned any opposing player, never said a word about who we were playing. He was only interested in how and what we were doing. But as this seemingly routine Bruin romp turned into an endless nightmare for us, we slowly started to pick up the names of the guys giving us so much trouble that night from the public address announcer at the University of Arizona's McKale Center. Mike Sylvester, a slick, 6-foot-7 senior scoring machine ... Donnie Smith, a crafty, left-handed senior gunner whose lack of conscience shocked even the jaded ... and little Johnny Davis, a 6-foot freshman whippet from Detroit whom we could do absolutely nothing with, never mind trying to keep him in front of you.
UCLA ultimately went on to win the game, though not before experiencing the scare of a lifetime. At the end of the second overtime, Smith threw up a buzzer-beater for the upset win but that victory was snatched away as his own coach was frantically calling a timeout when the shot swished through the net. We blew them away in the third overtime. We went on to bigger and better things, never giving the Flyers another thought, other than how lucky they were to have hung with us for so long.
Two years later in 1976, Jack Ramsay was hired by the Portland Trail Blazers to build a team out of a bunch of selfish egomaniacs playing for a franchise that had never even made the NBA playoffs in its six-year history. It was the perpetual expansion team -- noted only for losing, hapless greed and ineptitude. One of Jack's first moves was to draft a fleet, little underclassman from the University of Dayton named Johnny Davis. In those days, most everyone attended four years of college before trying their hand at the NBA. But after three years at Dayton, Little Johnny was in a bad way financially, having grown up with next to nothing in the Detroit ghetto. Little Johnny thought he could do something to help his struggling mom who was having a terrible time keeping the family together. So Little Johnny disobeyed his Mom and left the sure path to a better life -- education -- for the gamble of professional basketball.
Few thought at the time that Little Johnny had a chance, being so small and all. But Ramsay knew what he wanted -- speed and lots of it. And Little Johnny had more than enough of that to go along with an incredible heart and mind. But when Little Johnny showed up that first year, it was as if Ramsay had either forgotten all about him, didn't think he could play or was too busy dealing with the myriad of problems that his newly assembled squad presented. Little Johnny couldn't even smell the game, never playing a meaningful minute all season long. So quiet, so shy, so reserved -- and now so frustrated -- Little Johnny never said a word, to anybody, all season long. But we were rolling as a team and on our way, and it seemingly didn't matter that everything was now going so dreadfully wrong for this young, 20-year-old rookie with the hardscrabble background.
We were coming to the end of our season. In the playoffs, Blazermania was in full swing, yet there was still not a flicker from this faintly glowing ember who was now all but forgotten. Fast forward to Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals at Denver. The Nuggets were loaded with Larry Brown at the helm and David Thompson, Dan Issel and Bobby Jones -- to say nothing of the refs in their pockets. Late in the game, one of our starting guards, Dave Twardzik, went down with a severely sprained ankle. And with that ankle went the game and most likely our season's hopes and dreams. It was a bitter overtime loss and worse, now shorthanded, the long flight home to Portland was bleak -- the whole time Ramsay furrowing his eyebrows and stroking his chin. He was perplexed by our predicament.
With the weight of the world on his broad shoulders and the fate of Western civilization in the balance, Ramsay addressed our sullen group in the last fleeting moments before Game 6. Up 3-2, we felt more up against it than anything else. And it was then that Ramsay turned and pointed in the startled locker room to little Johnny Davis -- the forgotten and now lost soul -- and said, "YOU ... It's on YOU, now let's go!"
With Little Johnny as a mainstay now, we swept the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, then blasted the 76ers for the world championship. And it was all because of a simple twist of fate and an ankle that gave a great but unknown man the chance of a lifetime.
After 10 years as a player, Little Johnny is an NBA fixture now in his 27th year in the league. A longtime coach and front office administrator with many different organizations, Johnny always leaves them better off than when he arrived. A proud and happy husband and father, Little Johnny and his bride of so many years ago, Lezli, have two college-age sons, Reginald and Austin.
I have been touched by greatness many times in my short life -- none more so than what my friend Johnny has done for me. Little Johnny now stands alone at the top, epitomizing all the things that mean the world to me: It's not how big you are, it's how big you play ... Basketball, like life, is not a game of size and strength, but rather a game of skill, timing and positioning … Balance and quickness are the two most important skills that you'll ever need, and quickness has nothing to do with your foot speed but rather your mind, anticipation and decision-making capabilities ... Competitive greatness is doing your best when your best is needed.
With unending faith and patience, my friend Johnny is the man I hope to be one day. He is as great a champion as I have ever known.

The hosts closed on 24 for one on day two after Peter Fulton was pinned leg before by Zaheer Khan for one, giving India every chance of wrapping up a win inside three days.
But captain McCullum's 114 not out and another big hit from BJ Watling (52 no) in reply to India's 438 total, gave New Zealand a six-run lead with five wickets remaining.
The hosts lost Kane Williamson (7) in just the second over of the day as he edged the ball to India captain MS Dhoni for a catch for Khan's second wicket of the innings as the tourists started the day well.
That brought Tom Latham to the middle before opener Hamish Rutherford lost his wicket for 35 runs just six overs later - a second Khan victim in the first hour of play - as he nicked the ball to Dhoni with the Black Caps reduced to 52 for three.
McCullum joined Latham at the crease and they started to get some runs on the board to make life difficult for India.
Mohammed Shami took the wicket of Latham (29) in the last ball before lunch to leave the hosts on 87 for four.
The 21-year-old left the field frustrated after he tipped the ball to wicketkeeper Dhoni in the last ball of the first session.
New Zealand brought out Corey Anderson next but he only lasted three overs as he became victim to Ravindra Jadeja as the wickets continued to tumble.
But that brought Watling to the crease as he and McCullum stood strong to combined for a sixth-wicket stand of 158 runs to keep the hosts in it.

Don't Be Misled by News About Rising Tuition
What explains the high, and rising, cost of college in the U.S.?
JAMES SCHRAGER: The demand for a college degree continues to rise, so prices rise as well. This is magnified for a "top tier" school where space is limited and demand is not. However, posted tuition costs are not the whole story, as many schools have scholarships, effectively changing the true price.
James Schrager is a clinical professor of entrepreneurship and strategic management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Religion There Is No Morality Without Religion

A pastor whose disappearance from a small town in upstate New York triggered a search by police and the FBI was found earlier today inside an Ohio strip club. Police said that when the Rev. Craig S. Rhodenizer, 46, was confronted by an officer, he began crying and said he couldn't remember anything about the 36 hours he was missing.
But dancers at the club remembered Rhodenizer. They told investigators that Rhodenizer spent two hours drinking, soliciting dances and making threatening comments. He also said he wanted to take the dancers back to his motel, according to the police report. In his car was a bottle of Bacardi rum.

SAULT STE. MARIE — In announcing expenditures $17.8 million for the 2014 work plan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District has earmarked $7.5 million for work associated with the Soo Locks in 2014.
Chief of Public Affairs Lynn Rose said the bulk of the upcoming expenditure — $4.5 million — will go toward new controls, equipment upgrades and modernization of the MacArthur Lock. An additional $1 million will be spent on the Poe Lock for construction upgrades and electrical improvements.
An additional $2 million has been budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year, according to Rose, for work and upgrades associated with the federal powerhouse. Most of those funds, she explained, will go toward the replacement of the 50-plus old foot bridge that connects the Soo Locks to the plant. Additional money will be spent for electrical upgrades within the hydropower plant.
"The contracts will be awarded this year," said the agency spokesperson after double-checking with those who are overseeing the various projects, "although some of the work may not begin until 2015."
The Detroit District's $17.8 million work plan includes multiple dredging projects and six repair, replacement or construction projects throughout the region. In addition, according to a press release announcing the expenditures, two navigation studies will also be funded.
"We recognize that in this time of economic recovery we are responsible for ensuring the maximum efficient use of the dollars provided for our projects and programs," said Lt. Col. Robert Ells, district engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District. "We will continue to deliver great dividends to the region and to the nation. This 2014 work plan will allow us to fund our highest-priority projects and will assist the Corps in improving the nation's infrastructure and revitalizing the economy."
The work plan came about, according to the press release, when Congress appropriated additional funding for ongoing work in the fiscal year 2014 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act as contained in the 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

Dow Slides Below 10000
Stocks turned negative late in the session and the euro tumbled as investors' worries about global growth resurfaced, overshadowing strong U.S. data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was up 135 at its morning high, ended down by 69.30 points at 9974.45, its first close below the 10000 mark since early February. Microsoft MSFT 0.28 % led the way lower, falling 4.1%.
The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.7%. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% to 1067.93, hurt largely by a reversal in its financial category, which led the way higher in the morning but ended with a 0.7% decline.
Traders said the market's late slide was fueled in part by the euro's decline as investors continue to wait for some sign that policy makers will take steps instead to reign in a potential spread of the euro zone's debt crisis. The euro tumbled to $1.2193, compared to $1.2334 late Tuesday, in volatile trading dominated by market speculation about the additional fallout from the crisis.
The euro lost ground against other major rivals as well. One euro fetched 109.46 Japanese yen, down from 111.16 yen late Tuesday. The British pound cost 1.1808 euros, up from 1.1674 euros.
Market watchers also noted that the S&P 500's inability to sustain a break above the 1090 level fueled a round of selling by technicians and automated trading systems late in the session.
The day's reversal marked the third day in a row that the market has had a late-day move erasing the performance it had posted through most of the session. Traders say that even during rallies, buyers haven't necessarily been motivated by strongly held conviction that the global economic rebound will last. As a result, they've been prone to take money off the table the first chance they get—an approach that fuels slides like the one Wednesday afternoon.
"People are trying to figure out whether we're undergoing a market correction or establishing a top to the bull market that began in March 2009," said Bill Strazzullo, a partner at Bell Curve Trading, which favors the latter scenario.
Mr. Strazzullo added: "I don't think we'll see a complete collapse here, but it is certainly a very different environment for trading and investing. One way to look at it is that 2008 was a big down year, 2009 was a big up year, and now we're going through some real consolidation."
Financial companies that would suffer the most from any further tightness in credit markets due to Europe's recent sovereign-debt struggles ended in the red after posting gains through most of the session. Goldman Sachs Group GS 0.06 % was off 1.6%, Bank of America BAC -0.07 % slipped 0.1%, and J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.27 % was off 0.4%. Citigroup, C -0.59 % however, managed to end in the black, up 2.1% after Oppenheimer upgraded its investment rating on the bank's shares to "outperform" from "neutral," citing valuation.
Blue-chip industrials trimmed their early gains but managed to finish in the black, helped by new data showing that durable-goods orders rose more than expected in April. Boeing BA -0.40 % climbed 0.8%, while Caterpillar CAT -0.87 % gained 0.9%.
The telecommunications sector was hurt by a 1.7% slide in Verizon Communications VZ -0.41 % after the chief executive of its wireless unit said Wednesday that the Federal Communications Commission's proposal to more heavily regulate the Internet industry could be "dangerous to the overall health of the industry."
Elsewhere, Home Depot HD -0.01 % rose 0.2%, as data showed demand for single-family homes jumped 14.8% in April, boosted by the imminent expiration of a tax credit for home buyers.
Treasury prices slipped, lifting the yield on the 10-year note to 3.220%. Crude-oil futures rose above $71 a barrel, while gold futures also climbed.

Hi guys, thanks for checking out my post.
I just launched a new website called. Carpet Cleaning Austin. The load time is taking a little longer than it should. I might be being picking because some say they can't notice it. I have tried it on different computers, browsers, types of internet. Any thoughts?
Also, let me know what you think of the website.
