Have you ever been with someone and then afterwards wondered what on earth you saw in that person? There was this guy – the first guy I was with after the Husband convinced me to start cuckolding him. He's the only one who knew that I was already married. It didn't start out that way, but I felt guilty and told him the truth. He wanted to continue seeing me. I think he actually cared for me … and I cared for him (otherwise I wouldn't have felt guilty and told him the truth).
However, as time went on, he started turning into a little drama queen. He started telling me fantastic stories about his life. We broke up and then got back together several times (the Husband wanted us to get back together again). I was losing interest, and when he told me that he was getting back together with his ex-girlfriend, I ended things for good.
It's been about 6 months now since I've been out on a date. The last fuck adventure I had (with someone other than the Husband) was with the PhD student. I ended on a positive note, but I haven't missed the texting or the dating or the extramarital sex.
For the past few months, the Husband has been bugging me about fucking other people again. I told him that I wasn't interested – that I'd already done it and while there were some good points, I didn't care to do it anymore. The Husband thinks that the bad parts were due to my having to lie so he wants me to get back together with this first guy, the guy who knows that I'm married and was okay with it. I still wasn't interested until the Husband told me that I could basically have whatever I wanted if I would cuckold him again.
The problem is that now when I think about the first guy, I keep thinking of his faults. I don't find him physically attractive anymore and I find him to be stupid. He doesn't read, his spelling in texts is atrocious, he smokes (disgusting to me), and he has awful taste in movies (who in their right mind likes Oblivion?!). The Husband thinks that I'm being too harsh on him, but I don't think so. I think that, because he was the first guy, I didn't really have any standards.
So … the big question is do I fuck this guy? Getting whatever I want from the Husband would be a good deal, except I don't know how long I would have to fuck this guy. I could do it once, but I don't know if I do it multiple times, given that I'm somewhat repulsed by him now.
So I let this post sit in draft mode for a few little while. Today, the Husband and I had a talk and came up with a written agreement. I have to fuck this Loser for 5 months (freedom = Feb 28th) and he will never bring up the cuckolding thing again for the rest of our lives.
I'm not very good at hiding my feelings, but I'm going to have to be a damn good actress for the next five months. I'm going to have to pretend to like the Loser because not only do I have to fuck him, I have to date him. This is worse for me than just an occasional fuck over a 5-month period. After this, though, after five months of revulsion (the Husband will tell you I'm being dramatic, but whatever, he isn't the one who has to fuck and spend time with someone he finds disgusting), I will be free …
I may be turning to this blog to vent about the Loser since I have to be so nice to him.

I've read through all the help that there is on this subject but because I still have a limited understanding of web terms I find it difficult to understand what to do. I got it right once - how?

Poem: "Fiddler's Green"
Halfway down the trail to Hell, In a shady meadow green Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped, Near a good old-time canteen. And this eternal resting place Is known as Fiddlers' Green.
Marching past, straight through to Hell The Infantry are seen. Accompanied by the Engineers, Artillery and Marines, For none but the shades of Cavalrymen Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.
Though some go curving down the trail To seek a warmer scene. No trooper ever gets to Hell Ere he's emptied his canteen. And so rides back to drink again With friends at Fiddlers' Green.
And so when man and horse go down Beneath a saber keen, Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee You stop a bullet clean, And the hostiles come to get your scalp, Just empty your canteen, (Note) And go to Fiddlers' Green. The origin and author of "Fiddler's Green" is unknown. It was believed to have originated in the 1800's and was composed as a song sung by the soldiers of the 6th and 7th Cavalry. Its first known appearance in published form was in a 1923 Cavalry Journal.
Note: Since the return of American forces from Vietnam, an additional line has been added to the poem. Just prior to the end, the line "And put your pistol to your head," has been added. Perhaps this is in tribute to veterans who are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome; I don't know. Therefore, the poem appears in its original form except for the annotation: Note.
Fiddler's Green
"Fiddler's Green" was the name for the informal, downstairs bar at the O-Club at Fort Sill OK, originally a cavalry outpost of the 10th US Cavalry Regiment ("Buffalo Soldiers") when the West was being settled. The poem was posted at the head of the stairs leading down into the bar.
RIP, CSM Plumley, WW2 - VietNam, 5 combat airborne jumps. He had to clank when he walked.
Well, HELL. Godspeed Sergeant Major.
He has 2 silver stars, 2 bronze stars and 4 purple hearts. he's been played by Sam Elliott in a movie and he lived to be 92. You can't ask for much more than that.

Google Wins the Presidential Election (So Does Obama)
- Google Wins the Presidential Election (So Does Obama)
- Companies Shouldn't Rest
Companies Shouldn't Rest
But content companies shouldn't rest: if Lessig has Obama's ear, you might see more policies leaning towards "fair use" of other people's copyrighted works. That also dovetails with Google's agenda, which needs net neutrality and could use less content protection so it can take over the world by providing other people's content and its own advertising over other people's pipes. On the other hand, VP-elect Joe Biden has traditionally been friendly to the recording industry, which includes the most anti-fair-use people in the world. Those influences may cancel each other out.
It seems like almost every one of Obama's tech policies has a Google angle. Take his position on "broad adoption of standards-based electronic health information systems, including electronic health records." While several companies including Microsoft are pursuing electronic health data systems, one of those companies is Google.
Anything involving social networking could get a huge boost from Obama's victory in the first "Facebook/MySpace campaign." Obama's triumph, coming from nowhere on a wave of small donations and youthful word-of-mouth, vindicates the powerful role online social networking plays in our society. Facebook and its ilk were already the darlings of the venture-capital crowd, of course. Obama's win just amps up the volume there. Guess who runs the advertising platform on MySpace? Google.
There are winners other than Google in these policies, of course. Obama's anti-digital-divide, anti-media-consolidation views means we may see some new names in the networking and media worlds. I'd bet on Leap, MetroPCS, and Sprint/Clearwire, which run wireless networks that can be used to close the "digital divide."
I'd also venture that Apple will do well in an Obama administration. The Obama campaign created high-priority iPhone apps, but the Obama-Apple connection is deeper and more spiritual than that. They've got similar brand identities: young, fresh, hip, and Internet-oriented, yet strictly controlled and always on-message.
Apple and Google are facing off right now in the cell phone arena. Could this be one area where Obama's win benefits one of Google's competitors? Let's see how quickly the new administration makes some Google Android apps available.

Cancel is one of the most crucial techniques that you have to master in this Mortal Kombat X game. And if you can master the theory behind this tip in this game, you will be able to do it in a couple of other titles. A couple of specific moves in any fighting game are related to animations which avoid them from getting a combo. This can be done in order to avoid players in order to hit light kick a couple of times and keep the combo on until their enemy has been taken down.

PICS: Rihanna wows in white at Battleship premiere
Rihanna worked the red carpet in a slinky Adam Selman gown at the movie event in Los Angeles
She was rushed to hospital suffering with 'exhaustion' after the glittering Met Ball, but we're pleased to see Rihanna looked back to her best as she worked the red carpet at the Battleship premiere in LA yesterday.
The singer wowed in a daring white Adam Selman gown, complete with plunging white neckline and thigh-high slit.
And she seemed to take the 'less is more approach' when it came to her accessories, adding simple white Manolo Blahnik heels, a statement gold bangle a siren red lip.
We definitely approve.
The starlet was joined at the premiere by co-star Brooklyn Decker, the epitome of elegance in a blush pink Dior gown, as well as Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard.
Rihanna's red carpet appearance came just hours after it was revealed she had deleted ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on Twitter, after he reportedly insulted on his latest song.

Malware Linked to Government of Kazakhstan Targets Journalists, Political Activists, Lawyers: EFF Report. From EFF. San Francisco—Journalists and political activists critical of Kazakhstan's authoritarian government, along with their family members, lawyers, and associates, have been targets of an online phishing and malware campaign believed to be carried out on behalf of the government of Kazakhstan, according to a new report by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Malware was sent to Irina Petrushova and Alexander Petrushov, publishers of the independent newspaper Respublika, which was forced by the government of Kazakhstan to stop printing after years of exposing corruption but has continued to operate online. Also targeted are family members and attorneys of Mukhtar Ablyazov, co-founder and leader of opposition party Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan, as well as other prominent dissidents.

A few weeks ago, I found myself grumbling about all the things on my holiday to-do list...
"I have to address all the cards."
"I have to see who I have gifts for and who I still need to shop for."
"I have to take Dad out to do his shopping."
...and on and on. I have to, I have to, I have to!
Finally, I paused and thought, "You are being so ungrateful! Do you realize how lucky you are to be able to do all of these things? These are such first-world problems. You don't have to do anything, you GET to do all of these things. These problems are actually blessings!"
So, I decided that every time I wanted to say "I have to," that I'd say "I get to" instead. And wow, what a difference changing that 1 little word made!
I started feeling more grateful and joyful by focusing on how lucky I was and what the "chore" meant...
Instead of "I have to send out 100 Christmas cards," it was "I get to send out 100 Christmas cards and I am so lucky, this means that I have a lot of really lovely people in my life."
Instead of "I have to shop and spend a lot of money on food for the party," I said "I am so lucky and so blessed that I have money and get to spend it on making a nice meal for my friends, so many people in the world are struggling and would love to be doing this."
I did this all month long. Anytime I had a tired, down moment, I focused on how lucky I was. And how do you imagine I felt at the end of the month?
I really felt so much happier, peaceful, blessed and lucky. And as I've written before, we know that gratitude is the secret to true happiness. This little experiment sure proved it to to me!
Want to feel the same way? Give this experiment a try and let me know how it worked for you. I'm betting that at the end of the month, you'll feel so good that you'll want to keep going. It's hard to believe 1 little word can make such a difference, but it's really true.
Good luck and may we all have a wonderful year!
Big hugs, Dr. K.SaveSave

TriSports Introduces Patented Hybrid Shave TechnologyBy Seton
April 1, 2012 on 10:13 am | In Announcements, Random Musings, Tech Tips | No Comments
Tucson, AZ (April, 1, 2012): TriSports.com, the world's premiere triathlon store, announces its patented new leg shaving technology known as Hybrid Shave Technology. After 2-years of research and development using wind tunnel, CFD and real world data, the engineers at TriSports.com have released their findings. Seton Claggett, who earned his Master's in Hydrology from the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona, says "we have been using this proprietary shave method with our athletes for years but as we have grown as a company we know that for the betterment of the sport and in light of great customer service that we should reveal our research to the world."
The final results comparing 1) Hairy leading edge, 2) Fully shaved leg, 3) TriSports.com's Patented Hybrid Shave Technology
The Hybrid Shave Technology uses a scientific approach to removing leg hair on cyclists and triathletes to improve aerodynamics and speed. "The experiment," says Tom Demerly, one of the chief investigators on the project, "was performed over many conditions and using many different shave patterns and what we found was that using basic aerodynamic principals of laminar boundary conditions coupled with muscle formation resulted in the ideal real-world power conversion on the bike."
The partial differential equations for the continuity and Navier–Stokes for a two-dimensional steady incompressible flow with Cartesian coordinates.
The final testing came down to analyzing the real world results of 1) Hairy Leading Edge Legs, 2) Full Shaved Legs, and 3) Short Stubble Leading Edge Legs (the Hybrid Shave Technology). Full hairy legs performed exponentially worse than the three chosen tests. The results are shown in the diagram above. "It was amazing how superior the performance was using the Hybrid Shave Technology", said Claggett, "the power savings were staggering. It is amazing how basic aerodynamic principles such as using the Navier-Stokes equation and Reynolds numbers to estimate the boundary layer conditions of a hairy legs work in wind tunnel and real world testing."
The results have shown an actual average power savings of 10 Watts over distances greater than 30k (compared to a full hairy leg and almost 6 Watts over a fully shaved leg). Over a 112 mile relatively flat course with little wind the TriSports Hybrid Shave Technology will save you about 6 minutes. "6 minutes", says Claggett who used the Hybrid Shave Technology at the 2011 Ironman Arizona, "is a ton of free time, especially if you are trying to get to the finish line as fast as possible." Claggett consequently won his age-group by a mere 45 seconds. "You can spend hundreds of dollars on an aero helmet, thousands of dollars on aero wheels and an aero bike, or you can use the TriSports Hybrid Shave Technology and get the same benefits – do everything and you are all-in."

The aerodynamics of a full hairy leg are so bad that we did not use this model in our final testing.
Careful muscle measurement ensures proper shave pattern.
Precise marking during the measurement process.
Clippers are used to remove the Sasquatch hair.
Using a new blade to clean up the remaining stubble on the back of the leg.
The final hairy leading edge leg.
Shaving down to the stubble for the Hybrid Shave Technology.
The final version of the Hybrid Shave Technology.
Conclusion: Hold off as long as you can during the season to get the training benefit of hairy legs and then shave them just before your "A" race. The results of the TirSports Hybrid Shave Technology speak for themselves, so when you do shave, use this method if you want to optimize aerodynamics.
For the love of SauconyBy Jaclyn A.
February 10, 2012 on 11:18 am | In Employee Adventures, Product Information, Random Musings, Tech Tips | 2 Comments
There aren't many products that I gush about, but I have found myself more than once in the past few months on the sales floor gushing to a customer about the Saucony Kinvara. I had been a long time Mizuno Wave Rider wearer, but after my last 70.3, the first thing I did was take off my shoes. My heels were once again blistered, my feet ached, my shoes were soaking wet and seemed 5 pounds heavier. It was time to find a new pair of running shoes.
I headed to the TriSports shoe wall and consulted with one of our expert shoe fitters. I wanted a light weight shoe with good drainage, enough cushion to run an Ironman marathon, and a lower heel-to-toe drop (around 4-6mm). I tried on the Brooks T7, the K-Swiss Blade Light, and the Saucony Kinvara. Right away the Saucony's were noticeably different. The shoe's upper was soft and flexible, free of unnecessary decorations, and allowed for good ventilation. The heel cup was also very pliable and securely wrapped around my narrow heel. With 4 mm of drop between the heel and toe it was the perfect shoe for transitioning to a more minimalist style of shoe.
Fast forward 5 months and I still love my Kinvaras. I am well over the "300 mile limit" and the shoes still feel like they did when they came out of the box. If you are in the market for a light weight trainer/racer with a low profile, try out the Saucony Kinvaras, and if you need a stability shoe, try the Fastwitch. Happy running!

The Joy of the Quintana Roo Illicito Triathlon FramesetBy Mike O.
November 18, 2011 on 6:00 am | In Product Information, Tech Tips | No Comments
What is joy? Merriam-Webster defines joy as "the expression or exhibition of such emotion" and "a state of happiness" – perfect emotional descriptions of the new Quintana Roo Illicito Triathlon Frameset. Triathletes will be riding for joy once they experience the QR Illicito.
Quintana Roo has always been a leader in the design of tri bikes and the Illicito takes their proven shift technology – when riding a surge of air is created from behind the front wheel and the unprecedented aerodynamics of the CDO.01 frame style enables suction to draw the wind off to the 'clean' side (non-drive side) of the bike – and ups the ante by removing the left seat stay and creating an even more 'clean' side. QR constructed a Leading Edge Absent (LEA) surface on the non drive chain-stay which results in a 'sail' effect. This 'sail' effect creates less resistance and makes for a sleeker and faster frame.
The Illicito offers more high modulus carbon fiber than any previous QR frame. A newly redesign rear brake improves braking performance plus offers increased clearance for the latest generation of wider race wheels.
The QR Illicito comes with a fork, headset, seat post and brakes.
Illicito: TriSports.com's definition of joy!

How classic can you get? It turns out Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" with Bradley Cooper will get a limited bow on Christmas Day before going wide on January 16. That puts it smack dab in the middle of the upcoming Oscar season, and gives Universal a little bit of competition on being last pony out of the gate with "Unbroken."
It's kind of interesting watching everyone make their moves this season. There seems to be a divide between all the films hitting the early festivals, then a bit of a gap (save for wide launches like "Fury" and "Interstellar"), then a bunch of films content with landing very late in the game. When "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" garnered a lot of awards steam last year after dropping at the last moment (screening in late-November), it changed a lot of thinking…for the time being, that is. This pendulum tends to swing back and forth a lot.
The move will also give Warner Bros. something else to work with this season, as there might be some question as to how much of an Oscar play Paul Thomas Anderson's "Inherent Vice" will be at the end of the day. It's all sort of interesting, too, as exactly 10 years ago a WB/Eastwood player, "Million Dollar Baby," was hustled into the race at the last minute and took it by storm, as the whole town seemed to be desperate for an alternative to Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" (silly wabbits).
Eastwood's "Jersey Boys" was released by Warners in June, but went nowhere with critics and seemed more or less D.O.A.
"American Sniper" is an adaptation of Chris Kyle's memoir, "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History." Principal photography began at the end of March, but in classic economical Eastwood fashion, it appears to have moved swimmingly and is ready to go. Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes, Kyle Gallner, Sam Jaeger, Jake McDorman and Cory Hardrict also star.

Today, I woke up with those thoughts in my head.
I. Came. To. Win.
It's Friday, but that doesn't mean it's another day to slack off. On the contrary, I want to go even harder than I went yesterday. Meaning, I want to do more. I want to make the most out of my day. The most out of my day at the gym, the most out of my day while I'm working, the most out of just everything in life.
I'm taking today as a competition. You see, I've already been to the gym five days in a row this week. And usually, that would be enough. But I'm trying to be better than enough. Better than average. So I'm heading to the gym today for the sixth day in a row. I'm trying to look good and live my best life now!
I am already seeing progress as well. For instance, I lost a good 3.5 pounds. I say good because I've slowly been changing eating habits (to make eating healthy more of a habit). No supplements, no get thinner faster stuff — no nothing like that. Just working hard. I want to prove to myself that I can do it. Because I'm a winner.
Reading back on that last line, it reminds me of motivational speakers. But that's why they're so good at what they do. They motivate. They help people get to that next level and realize they're true potential.
Take a look at one of my favorite speakers Eric Thomas below I listen to him everyday while I'm lifting weights at the gym. And you know what? It helps me finish my workout like I'm supposed to. Beast mode baby, all day!
If you're going to the gym go in #beastmode #killit !
P.S. Today is leg day 😉

Check with the mechanical engineering department for course registration deadlines, and diesel engine design program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Cumberland County College
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider LSC Tomball analytical chemistry as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

1. Dehydration
Your extreme fatigue might be coming from hidden sources. Nixing these spirit-depleting factors from your life will automatically help reboot your verve.
It turns out that even moderate dehydration (which results in the loss of 3 percent of your body weight) can make you feel mentally sluggish and mess with your concentration. The next time you're feeling foggy or lightheaded, don't just assume you're in serious need of some food. Try downing a glass or two of water.
2. Cell Phones
Checking your cell before bed amps up brain activity, making it harder to doze off. Plus, any electronic gadget's artificial blue light can suppress the sleep hormone melatonin. A 2011 poll by the National Sleep Foundation found that 20 percent of people ages 19 to 29 are awakened by a call, text, or e-mail at least a few nights a week. Power it down well before bedtime.
3. Medication
Many drugs have veiled energy-sapping side effects. Chief among them are some classes of antidepressants and certain beta-blockers used to prevent migraines or treat high blood pressure. If you start a new med and feel more lethargic than usual, see doctor Bert for an alternative. (If there isn't one, take your dose right before bed.)
4. Overtraining
While working out zaps the stress hormone cortisol, prolonged sweat sessions--like, for example, regularly running for more than 30 minutes at a steady rate--can actually rev cortisol production. Interval training (bursts of intense activity) combined with strength training (free-weight and body-weight moves) helps keep cortisol in check.
5. Low Iron
The mineral shuttles oxygen around your body and removes waste from your cells. If you're not getting around 18 milligrams a day, your body struggles to function properly and you can feel worn out; low iron levels in your diet can cause iron deficiency anemia. If you feel sluggish, call our office and ask for a simple blood test to see if you should be taking a supplement.

|Back Pain, Chiropractic Care, and Exercise
Most people now know the importance of exercise in daily life. The benefits of exercise range from improved strength, balance, and agility to deeper, more restful sleep, improved outlook on life, and heightened levels of creativity. Of course, there's also an additional direct benefit for persons with back pain.
Most cases of back pain are biomechanical in nature. In these circumstances, spinal joints have lost some mobility and spinal muscles have become tight. The long-term result is back pain, which may be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the biomechanical dysfunction. Chiropractic care is the specific treatment for problems involving the spinal joints and muscles. Exercise is an important addition to chiropractic care. When you perform challenging activities throughout a full range of motion, as you do when you exercise, you're retraining the joints and muscles of your back. By engaging in such activities on a regular basis, you're helping to restore spinal strength and mobility, enhancing the benefits you're receiving from chiropractic care.
Your chiropractor is an expert in rehabilitative exercise and will be glad to design an exercise program that will work for you.

The overview of "Maverick Money Makers" is a component of my service and responsibility to my readers and possible customers. My views are usually now being voiced because two of my websites are promoting 'Maverick Money Makers" as among the better online work from your home business plans.
1st thing you'll do is get your business handmade cards. If you don't have any, I recommend vista it.com for they give you 250 free, give bonuses when order my personal favorite, the hundred dollar bill imitation cards, they truly make people read them and or perhaps getting views you'll get responses.
Anything that shows up in all 3 columns is a field that essential look at and consider for profitable business. It demand more research to make sure you've found something profitable, but you will well of your way to building a corporation in an area that such as and where you possess a talent.
With the continued development of search engines looking for even more and more details came even the development of "robots" since they are called to look for internet webpages for new and informative information.
Let us assume, that your target would be to market paid surveys on web page and now you wonder where you discover the products to other folks. You are not alone, because is actually no one site, which is specialized to fulfil this need and it is CB Variety store. You can find the link each morning Author Box.
And the catch is: so as to make all kinds of real money online, leads to find a tried and proven system to go after. Many people, like yourself, are making a healthy part-time income from their internet business in zimbabwe. Incidents where make enough to quit their jobs and start full-time in a home office. But, each and each one for these people put lots in time and effort into working their podium.
There are more than 3 billion people surfing the Internet on a daily basis, buying, selling, exchanging information, and setting in advertising pages for various reasons.
That flows right into the last reason and to get training. Every body looking into owning private internet business will have a need to start depending on levels of learning martial arts. I could write and refer a ton of different links and people but there'd be to much to put in writing. The biggest message I am trying for you here is that it is really important to invest in you by gaining discovery. The more training equals more appeal you have for yourself and additional.

This might be a length post, so I might break it down into separate entries, for those who aren't interested in reading and prefer visuals, do head over to my Facebook page over here for the photos.
Sometime in May this year, I was asked to shoot the Asia Edition of Liqui Moly's Calendar, they usually two versions a year. One for European and US Market and one for Asia. It was by no far a small project. in about 2 months time. My team and I had to finalize 13 models and 13 vehicles and 4 different locations for each day that was large enough to house these vehicles.
Some of the casting shots of the selected girls. We held 2 castings in total which is pretty decent, considering we had to select 13 girls in total.
Some of the Vehicles for the shoot, which some had to changed last min.
I wished I had taken photos of the days we spent poured over the dining table at my creative director's house. We spent most of our days there finalising details or out sourcing for wardrobe.
Location sourcing was tough as well. We had in mind that we wanted to do an iconic shot with Singapore's skyline in the background. Finding such a place that could allow us to shoot and place the vehicles was different. Initially we wanted to do it on the Floating Platform where National Day was held as it was right in the centre of MBS and CBD. Our shoot was between 28-31 July. It was proving hard since National Day was so near and they were holding rehearsals. We didn't hear back for the space, with the dates drawing nearer, we had to quickly look for other alternatives.
My Producer suggested the carpark in the last photo but I wasn't keen on having the ledges, and the flags. We decided to head out around MBS area by foot and try out luck to see if we could locate a Carpark within the area that offered great views. We were about to call it a day till we walked passed the street of road from the Helix towards Esplande, then it hit me. This would be an amazing spot. Let's try and see if we could get this space. Luck was on our side and we managed to secure it.
All that was left was to finalised the call times of the Models and vehicles. We initially planned full days for the shoot but were only informed at a later date that we are only able to get the vehicles for 4 hour slots on some days. It was a really tight time crush. But I'll speak about this more in the following posts.

Persistence in Prayer
We humans are so impatient. We don't like to wait at traffic lights, drive through windows, restaurants, the DMV, the post office, or any place else! We live in a fast paced society and expect things to move along quickly. It's difficult enough to make time to pray, but when we do we expect God to respond with the same rapid speed which we expect from everything else. God, however, moves at his own pace.
Patience is one of the essential elements in learning to pray effectively. However, Jesus does not expect us to wait passively but passionately! We are to be persistent in prayer believing that God will do his will on earth as it is done in heaven. And as we pray and plead with God to accomplish his will, we are to look for ways he is seeking to work through us. How often does God use our prayers to develop us so that we might become the very answer to our prayers.
Such is the case in the wonderful story of William Willberforce's life. The one weakness of the recent movie portrayal of his life is that it does not spend enough time showing this remarkable man's dependence upon God through prayer. However, knowing that as a historical fact, makes this movie a tremendous portrayal of how God works in answer to persistent prayer.
3 Responses to "Persistence in Prayer"
I've never seen this movie, but i think it might get bumped up to the top on my netflix movie roster!
Your sermon yesterday was great, it has really helped me in better developing my prayers to God. Once again I found myself reflecting back on past prayers and catching myself expecting God to do my will. My eyes are very much open in understanding that this is not how it normally works. We are here to do His will, not the other way around.
I'm very interested to seeing this movie now, my main focus in my studies at school are towards getting a major in history. I'm looking forward to the next lesson, and how it will change the way I view my prayers to God.
Thanks for reminding us that God is not an ATM or drive through window. It is difficult to remember that it is "not about me."
I was trying to listen to your sermon online and only got the first 16 mins or so. Right up to where you were doing the intro for the video clip. Did you talk more after the video? Or was that pretty much it?

Jamie Walters - Release me lyrics
Release me by Jamie Walters
I can still feel your teeth marks in my neck,
Your footprints on my back.
And the gris gris you sprinkled in my bed,
Is starting to make me crack.
I can still hear your twang ringin' in my ear,
Your perfume I still smell.
You brought it way down below the Mason-Dixon line,
Like your mother, you're a southern bell.
I said Release Me.
But please don't let me know.
Release Me,
But please don't let me go.
1st Bridge
All my blood's still boiling.
Like a snake, you come coiling,
Ready to strike!
2nd Bridge
All my blood's still boiling.
Like a snake, you come coiling.
When the night comes down I get a big black fear,
Like the clouds hanging up above.
I don't want you to possess me but that's how it is,
I ain't nothin' but your slave of love.

Is Your Penny Stock Newsletter Lying to You? Published on Friday, October 12th, 2012 By John Whitefoot for Penny Stock Detectives I subscribe to a number of (so-called) free online penny stock newsletters. Not for potential investing ideas. These newsletters don't profile stocks they've selected—because they don't research any stocks. Allegedly, these newsletters are promotional pump-and-dumps subsidized by an interested third party who wants to abandon their holdings into the frenzied melee. In essence, pump-and-dump newsletters are important because they show you what bad penny stocks look like, although not intentionally, of course. I'll refrain from mentioning the actual newsletter, but if you were able to check out this example's web site, you'd see they claim to be "the most trusted free newsletter in the world." Why? Because, "every single one of the stocks we have featured in the past 2 years soared dramatically." An unbelievable claim when you consider they released their, "first pick ever" on October 2, 2012. What's more, their site claims to have made triple-digit gains on previous selections. Not only that, they calculated their percentages incorrectly. A supposed 290% gain is advertised as 375%; a 457% gain is heralded at 500%. How can you trust a penny stock newsletter that can't even figure out basic math on imaginary picks? For a newsletter that just released their first pick, it's astonishing to see how many testimonials they have, too. I suppose it's all a moot point; not unlike their first penny stock pick. I'm not saying TagLikeMe Corp. (OTCBB/TAGG) isn't a penny stock worth investing in. But, it certainly deserves to be researched a little. But, why research a penny stock that is "the best of all social media puttogether, and could some day soon give Facebook and Google some serious competition!" Call it a hunch. If key statistics matter, you may be interested to know that TagLikeMe has no revenue, earnings, book value, or cash per share. Granted, the company does have a lofty $8,000 in cash and only $326,000 in debt. It also has 331 million outstanding shares. So, you should be able to get a position if you want one. What are you getting a position in? If you believe this newsletter, you're buying into a penny stock that is hotter than Apple. Inc. Apparently, it's a better deal because it's an online company that is still small. I can't really make out exactly what the newsletter is trying to convey; other than the fact that I need to jump in right away and accumulate. You might have to wait though. One week after the launching of this pump-and-dump newsletter, the British Columbia Securities Commission halted trading in TagLikeMe's stock. The securities commission noted that over the previous week, TAGG experienced a significant increase in trading volume; from virtually nothing to 467,202,800 shares. Of course, there were no changes in the company's affairs that warranted such an increase.
Not surprisingly, no one at the company is aware of any promotional campaign that might be responsible for the increase. I'm certainly not saying TagLikeMe knew about the pump-and-dump campaign, but I am saying it's a statistical impossibility that a penny stock with nary a heartbeat could blindly put out its first socalled press release on the same day a pump-and-dump is launched on said company. Since then, the company has put out one fluff press release each day. Almost, one could deduce, to help the momentum of the unknown pump-and-dump newsletter. Making money is the end game of investing. Not only is it important to find the right penny stock to invest in, but it's equally as important to know when to take a position. This takes patience. Pump-and-dump newsletters live and breathe on anxious investors looking to get in ahead of the curve; even when the outlook is terrible. No matter what lens you view TagLikeMe through, there is no reason to jump in with reckless abandon. The company has virtually no money, no revenue, and right now, no real product. The company also said it needs an influx of cash to maintain operations. (Source: "FORM 10-Q/A FOR TAGLIKEME CORP.," Yahoo! Finance August 21, 2012.) An optimistic penny stock investor might wait patiently to see if the company can resolve these basic issues. A realistic penny stock investor would just move on. Who knows, maybe TagLikeMe will one day present itself as a good investing opportunity. It isn't today. What penny stock investors need is an unbiased newsletter they can trust. Each day the Penny Stock Detectivesgurus use their investing experience and insight to highlight fundamentally sound penny stocks with excellent potential. At Penny Stock Detectives, we believe that penny stocks, when rigorously researched, offer investors great opportunities to significantly grow their wealth. We Told You So… Sometimes, even penny stocks with excellent long-term outlooks can pay off in the near term. On October 3, 2012, Sasha Cekerevac wrote about sectors to consider for long-term investing. Long-term investing is, he said, "about being in the right stocks as they go through a period of strong corporate earnings growth." (See: This Stock Just Doubled Its Net Income.) Fonar Corporation (NASDAQ/FONR) is one such penny stock. This medical device supplier announced recently that earnings for fiscal 2012 were up 110% year-over-year at $6.9 million, or $0.91 per share. Total revenue increased 19% to $39.4 million. When first profiled by Cekerevac on Wednesday, October 3, 2012, Fonar was trading at $4.60. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, it hit an intraday high of $6.60; for a short-term gain of 43.3%.

Musings on childhood memories, human connection, anxiety, the joys and perils of solitude, death - what it means to be in the world. The songs were written over a span of ten years. There is a song Anna Atkinson wrote for her father seven years after he died. There is a song she wrote for her mother three years before she died. Anna Atkinson is fascinated by endeavours that take a long time. Slow moving, sometimes imperceptibly slow. Like quilting, writing a novel, making an album. Things for which there is no virtue in hurrying. Baking bread, snowshoeing up a mountain, knitting, gardening, growing up. In fact, they are processes we cannot hurry, try as we might. The album was recorded over a period of five months at CBC Studio 211 in Toronto, and features the playing of co-producer and guitarist David Occhipinti.

The winter is almost upon the Nordic countries. Time to dive into the darkness with WANHA. This is a project of Joni Vanhanen, a profilic producer/singer/hiphop-artist from Jyväskylä, Finland, known for his versatility above all. In addition to being one of the most respected underground hiphop producers in Finland he has worked with all kinds of music from metal to pop.
WANHA combines all of these influences with surprising ease. The Wait is a slice of trippy downtempo electronica, as dark as the northern days and cold as the nights, with haunting, pitch-shifted vocals that add an even more gripping tone to the distinctively Nordic song. WANHA is working on his debut album, so expect to hear more music from him very soon.

Blood Is Sweeter Than Honey is London-based artist Danny Currie's 3rd release of 2017.
Field recordings of his coastal hometown are merged with spectral guitars and washes of electronic noise to create a droning ambient panorama which seems to crest and recede like the Irish Sea heard in those same field recordings.
Released on his own Anschauen Records, Blood Is Sweeter Than Honey follows January's 'Verschollene EP' (Spheredelic Records), and 'Covers 2017' - a Soundcloud release of cover tracks.
Verschollene EP is Shock of Daylight's 4th and most ambitious release. The tracks stretch longer, spanning more genres than before, with minimal techno, ambient noise, and modern classical influences standing out.
Despite the complex blend of styles the tracks themselves are simple and focused, with often a single figure or concept spun out to its conclusion, clearly drawing inspiration from the ambient work of artists like Brian Eno and William Basinski, as well as proto-electro/krautrockers like Cluster, Harmonia and Neu!
Genre : electronic, ambient, krautrock, noise, psychedelic

These Are Truly The Last Days is a musical project with a driven experimental twist. Their music blurs the lines between various genres, including ambient, electronica, glitch hop, and more. The project's self-titled studio effort features 11 studio tracks.
Crafting a concept album is an incredibly difficult task. Tying together a cohesive narrative across a record's worth of songs isn't just daunting, it's an endeavour that even some of the industry's finest have failed to do memorably. This task, however, becomes notably more difficult when you're dealing in the abstract via instrumental soundscapes. That is what Chronotope Project, the moniker of composer Jeffrey Ericson Allen, attempts to do with his latest project, 'Ovum.'

Gathering Prey by John Sandford
Skye and Henry stood on a corner of Union Square on a fading San Francisco afternoon in early June, the occasional odor of popcorn swirling through, trying to busk up a few dollars. Skye saw the devil go by in his black '85 T-top, crooked smile, ponytail, twisty little braids in his beard. His skinny blond girlfriend sat beside him, tats running across her bare shoulders like grapevines, front teeth filed to tiny sharp points. Skye turned away, a chill running down her back.
Henry was strumming on a fifty-dollar acoustic guitar he'd bought at a pawnshop. Skye played her harmonica and kept time with a half tambourine strapped to one foot, jangling out into the evening, doing their version of "St. James Infirmary," Henry banging between chords and struggling through,
"When I die, bury me in a high-top Stetson hat . . ."
He did not sound like any kind of black blues singer from the Mississippi Delta. He sounded like a white punk from Johnson City, Texas, which he was.
? ? ?
SKYE WAS STOCKY with high cheekbones and green eyes. She wore an earth-colored loose knit wrap over a sixties olive-drab army shirt, corporal's stripes still on the sleeves, and gray cargo pants over combat boots. Her hair was apricot-colored and tangled, with a scraggly braid hanging down her back.
Henry was a tall apple-cheeked man/boy with a perpetually smiley face, dressed in a navy blue Mao jacket buttoned to the throat, and matching slacks, and high-topped sneakers. Their packs sat against the wall of the building behind them, big, capable nylon bags, with a peeled-pine walking stick attached to one side of hers.
"Put a ten-piece jazz band on my tailgate to raise hell as we roll along . . ."
They both smelled bad. They washed themselves every morning in public bathrooms, but that didn't eliminate the musty stink of their clothes. A laundromat cost money, which they didn't have at the moment. A cigar box on the sidewalk held five one-dollar bills and a handful of change. They'd put in two of the dollar bills themselves, to encourage contributions, to suggest that their music might be worth listening to.
They weren't the worst of the buskers on the square, but they were not nearly the best, and in terms of volume, they couldn't compete with the horn players.
As Henry wound down through the song, his shaky baritone breaking from time to time, Skye noticed the young woman leaning on a fire hydrant, watching them.
Was she with the devil? She was the kind he went for. Thin but hot. Not blond, though. The devil went for blondes.
The young woman was casually dressed in a loose multicolored blouse, jeans, and sneakers, each of those separate components suggesting money: the blouse looked as though it might be real silk, the jeans fit perfectly, and even the sneakers suggested a secret sneaker store, one that only rich people knew about.
Her dark hair had been styled by somebody with talent.
Skye thought, Maybe with the devil—but if not, maybe good for a five? Even a ten? A ten would buy dinner and a cup of coffee in the morning . . .
Henry gave up on the "St. James Infirmary," said, "Fuck this. We ain't doing no good."
"Don't have enough cash to eat. Let's give it another ten minutes. How about that Keb' Mo' thing?"
"Don't know the words yet." He looked around the square. "We should have gone up to the park. Can't fight these fuckin' horns."
? ? ?
THE YOUNG WOMAN who'd been leaning against the fire hydrant ambled up to them. She smiled and nodded to Henry, but spoke to Skye. "I don't give money to buskers . . . or panhandlers . . . because I'm afraid they'll spend it on dope. I got better things to do with it."
"Well, thank you very fucking much," Skye said. Her voice was harshed by smoke and a good bit of that had been weed.
"You're a traveler," the woman said, showing no offense.
"You know about us?"
"Enough to pick you out," the woman said. "My name's Letty. What's yours?"
"Skye. My friend is Henry." Skye was calculating: this woman was either with the devil, or . . . she could be worked. And Skye was hungry.
"Let's go up to the park," Henry said.
"Hang on," Skye said. Back to the young woman: "If you won't give us money, could you get us a bite?"
"There's a McDonald's a couple blocks from here," Letty said. "I'll buy you as much as you can eat."
"Them's the magic words," Henry said, suddenly enthusiastic, his pink face going even pinker.
? ? ?
THE TWO TRAVELERS shouldered their packs and Henry carried his guitar case and they started down Geary, walking toward Market Street, weaving through the tourists. "Where are you coming from and where are you going?" Letty asked.
Skye said, "We were in Santa Monica for the winter, then we started up here a couple weeks ago. Planning to be here for a couple of weeks, get some money, then go on up to Eugene, and maybe Seattle."
Henry said to Skye, "I could have sworn I saw Pilot go by a few minutes ago. I heard they were traveling this summer."
"We stay away from that asshole," Skye said. "He's the devil."
"Is not," Henry said. "He's cool."
"He's not cool, Henry. He's a crazy motherfucker."
"Been in movies, man," Henry said. "He said he might be able to get me a part."
Skye grabbed his shirtsleeve, turning him: "Henry. He'll kill you."
"Ah, bullshit." Henry started walking again and they could see the McDonald's sign beyond him. He looked back at the two women. "You don't know a chance when you see one, Skye. He could get me a part. I'd like to be in a movie. I'd really like that."
"Why? So you know you're alive? You're alive, Henry. Let's try to keep it that way."
Henry shut up and they got to the McDonald's.

3 more SC State trustees to leave board
Tue, 07 Jan 2014 20:58:30 GMT —
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Three more trustees at South Carolina State University are leaving the board, meaning nine of the school's 13 trustees will have joined the school's leadership since 2013.
Trustees Patricia Lott, Robert Nance and Bob Waldrep did not file for re-election this week. Their terms end on June 30.
State lawmakers voted out several trustees last year in the wake of problems at the school that led to the resignation of the president, the firing of several high-level employees and the indictment of a former chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Trustee candidates must file by Jan. 30. The General Assembly will screen the candidates and vote on them in the spring.

News Article | January 9, 2013
Site: www.theguardian.com
The bluefin tuna, which has been endangered for several years and has the misfortune to be prized by Japanese sushi lovers, has suffered a catastrophic decline in stocks in the Northern Pacific Ocean, of more than 96%, according to research published on Wednesday. Equally concerning is the fact that about 90% of specimens currently fished are young fish that have not yet reproduced. Last week, one fish sold in Japan for more than £1m, reflecting the rarity of the bluefin tuna and the continued demand for its fatty flesh, which is sold for high prices across Asia and in some high-end western restaurants. Bluefin tuna is one of nature's most successful ocean inhabitants, the biggest of the tuna and a top-of-the-food-chain fish with few natural predators. But the advent of industrial fishing methods and a taste for the species among rich sushi devotees have led to its being hunted to the brink of extinction. If current trends continue, the species will soon be functionally extinct in the Pacific, and the frozen bodies held in a few high-security Asian warehouses will be the last gasp the species. More than nine out of 10 of the species recently caught were too young to have reproduced, meaning they may have been the last generation of the bluefin tuna. Amanda Nickson, of the Pew Environment Group, which produced the latest report, said: "There is no logical way a fishery can have such a high level of fishing on juveniles and continue." She said that urgent measures needed to be taken in order to preserve stocks and allow them to recover. "The population of Pacific bluefin is a small fraction of what it used to be and is in danger of all but disappearing," she said. "It's a highly valuable natural commodity and people naturally want to fish something that gives them such a high return." She called for fishing of the species to be halted as a matter of urgency. Although there are measures to manage the exploitation of bluefin tuna in the Atlantic, and some measures in the eastern Pacific, the main spawning ground for Pacific bluefin tuna in the western part of that ocean is not managed. The main fishing fleets exploiting the stocks are from Japan, Mexico, South Korea and the US, and the high value of the few remaining fish is a further encouragement to fishermen to hunt down the last of the species. A single specimen could make the catchers rich for life, and without catch limits and rigorous enforcement, there is nothing to stop fishermen pursuing them. Nickson said: "This assessment shows just how bad the situation really is for this top predator. This highly valuable fish is being exploited at almost every stage of its life cycle. Fishing continues on the spawning grounds of this heavily overfished tuna species." About two-thirds of the world's tuna comes from the Pacific, but bluefin tuna accounts for only about 1% of this. For years, the species was neglected in fisheries management, being lumped in with other more prolific species. But in recent years it has become clear that it was in danger, from overfishing and its own biology - being bigger than other tuna, it takes longer to come to sexual maturity, which scientists estimate takes between four and eight years, which limits its reproductive ability and makes it more vulnerable to the predations of modern industrialised fishing techniques.

This article provides a context to, attempts an explanation for, and proposes a response to the recent demonstration of rapid and severe decline of the native mammal fauna of Kakadu National Park. This decline is consistent with, but might be more accentuated than, declines reported elsewhere in northern Australia; however, such a comparison is constrained by the sparse information base across this region. Disconcertingly, the decline has similarities with the earlier phase of mammal extinctions that occurred elsewhere in Australia. We considered four proximate factors (individually or interactively) that might be driving the observed decline: habitat change, predation (by feral cats), poisoning (by invading cane toads), and novel disease. No single factor readily explains the current decline. The current rapid decline of mammals in Kakadu National Park and northern Australia suggests that the fate of biodiversity globally might be even bleaker than evident in recent reviews, and that the establishment of conservation reserves alone is insufficient to maintain biodiversity. This latter conclusion is not new; but the results reported here further stress the need to manage reserves far more intensively, purposefully, and effectively, and to audit regularly their biodiversity conservation performance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The conservation of species is one of the foundations of conservation biology. Successful species conservation has often been defined as simply the avoidance of extinction. We argue that this focus, although important, amounts to practicing conservation at the emergency room door, and will never be a sufficient approach to conserving species. Instead, we elaborate a positive definition of species conservation on the basis of six attributes and propose a categorization of different states of species conservation using the extent of human management and the degree to which each of the attributes is conserved. These states can be used to develop a taxonomy of species recovery that acknowledges there are multiple stable points defined by ecological and social factors. With this approach, we hope to contribute to a new, optimistic conservation biology that is not based on underambitious goals and that seeks to create the conditions under which Earth's biological systems can thrive. © 2011 by American Institute of Biological Sciences.

As the world's largest importer of marine ornamental species for the aquaria, curio, home décor, and jewelry industries, the United States has an opportunity to leverage its considerable market power to promote more sustainable trade and reduce the effects of ornamental trade stress on coral reefs worldwide. Evidence indicates that collection of some coral reef animals for these trades has caused virtual elimination of local populations, major changes in age structure, and promotion of collection practices that destroy reef habitats. Management and enforcement of collection activities in major source countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines remain weak. Strengthening US trade laws and enforcement capabilities combined with increasing consumer and industry demand for responsible conservation can create strong incentives for improving management in source countries. This is particularly important in light of the March 2010 failure of the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to take action on key groups of corals. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

From a database of approximately 5,000 Hawaiian humpback whales identified photographically between 1976 and 2010, we extracted 71 males and 39 females having resighting spans of 10 or more years, from first to most recent sighting. Findings included: (1) the male-biased sex ratio was like that found in breeding grounds worldwide; (2) the mean span for males of 20.7 yr (maximum = 32 yr) did not differ significantly from the mean of 19.8 yr (maximum = 29 yr) for females, but males were seen in significantly more years during their spans than were females; (3) the mean number of females seen with and without calf across 11 three-year intervals from 1977 to 2009 did not differ significantly; (4) the calving rate for the 39 females was 0.48 and seven females produced two to eight calves over spans of 22-26 yr; (5) females attracted significantly more escorts in years without calf than in years with calf; (6) individuals showed great diversity in the social units they occupied over their sighting spans, but with the most frequently observed unit for both sexes being the trio of mother, calf, and escort. Males were also observed frequently in competitive groups centered about a female without calf. © 2010 by the Society for Marine Mammalogy.

While the recurrent cost of managing marine protected areas (MPAs) has been documented and estimated, there has been virtually no attempt to quantify the cost of establishing MPAs in the first place. This lack of attention is likely the result of the complexity of the process, involving often uncoordinated efforts of a multitude of governmental and non-governmental entities over a protracted period of time with no clear start and end-point. Using information gathered from a representative subset of MPAs worldwide, this paper presents the first attempt to identify and describe the various components, and explore potential predictors of the total funds spent in the course of establishment. The thirteen MPAs studied vary in size (from <1 to >360,000km2), location (including near- and offshore in both developed and developing countries), objectives and degree of protection. Variation in MPA start-up costs is shown to be most significantly related to both MPA size and the duration of the establishment phase. Development of a method to estimate the potential cost of establishing proposed MPAs should play a crucial role in the conservation planning process. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Merkel triumph threatened by hometown scorn
"Nein," he growled. "No politician can solve Germany's problems. Not even Angela Merkel."
Instead of swelling with pride at the spectacle of Merkel's meteoric rise in the world of politics, her home town in the increasingly depressed former East Germany was all but shunning its most famous daughter.
The anti-Merkel movement in the east could cost her party dearly in today's vote, forcing her into a "grand coalition" with her political foes, an outcome one commentator described as a "recipe for lethargy, bleakness and deadlock".
Yet not even Merkel's nearest and dearest seemed much interested in endorsing her Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Horst Kasner, her father, has long been one of its fiercest critics. Her brother, Marcus, a university professor, is a supporter of the…
