Tim's Vermeer
Some movies are great because of their artistry; "Tim's Vermeer" achieves greatness — OK, semi-greatness — by placing the act of artistic creation itself under a microscope. Texas inventor Tim Jenison tries to replicate "The Music Lesson," by the great 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, using period optics the artist himself may have used. On the surface, the documentary is a debunker's delight: a rigorous, humorous essay on how a sainted artist may have been more ingenious trickster. And it comes to us from a team known for pulling the rug out from under mysteries only to reveal more mysteries and further rugs: The conceptual magic-comedy duo Penn and Teller. Yet the deeper "Tim's Vermeer" takes you, the peskier and more profound the questions get about art, process, and genius.

One of the most recognizable faces in game development isn't going to be around for a little while. Epic Games creative director Cliff Bleszinski has left the company, according to a blog post today.
Bleszinski worked at Epic Games for 20 years, going all the way back to Jazz Jackrabbit and all the way up to Gears of War: Judgement. He became a fan favorite as well as a press favorite over the years, developing a public persona as an approachable, friendly guy in an industry that can be cagey at times. Here's what he had to say about his departure:
I've been doing this since I was a teenager, and outside of my sabbatical last year, I have been going non-stop. I literally grew up in this business, as Mike likes to say. And now that I'm grown up, it's time for a much needed break.
I will miss the projects, the playtests, the debates, and most importantly, the people. Epic only hires the best of the best, and it has been a joy working with each and every one of you on a daily basis, whether you were hired weeks ago or decades ago. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with a variety of disciplines, from code to art to marketing and PR – it's been one big, rewarding learning experience. I'm confident that each project that is being built, whether at Epic, Chair, PCF, or Impossible will be top notch and will please gamers and critics alike.
The videogame world can be grueling, and it's not surprising that somebody so deeply involved in production needs to take a rest after 20 years. It was a similar story with the Bioware co-founders, who both left their company a few weeks ago.
"In 20 wonderful years with Epic, Cliff Bleszinski has grown into a true design luminary, and his contributions to the 'Unreal' and 'Gears' series have helped shape the game industry into what it is today," says Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney. "Cliff leaves Epic with our gratitude for his many contributions, and our wishes for continued success in the next chapter of his life!"

Also, this thread title is extremely misleading. Joseph never implied any such thing, this is simply the OP's opinionated interpretation of VJ's statement.
Also, this thread title is extremely misleading. Joseph never implied any such thing, this is simply the OP's opinionated interpretation of VJ's statement.
They insinuated it and even if they haven't worked together I guarantee that Elway spoke on this and considered it when hiring Joseph. The athlete, especially the QB should not need motivation to work. The fact that the team is at this point is not promising. Take the blinders off, his dedication has been in question from multiple sources. I don't hear this type of chatter surrounding other qbs from his class (Prescott, Wentz, Goff).
Here's the full quote from VJ that puts his comments in better context:
"Paxton's a young guy with great talent, but playing quarterback in the NFL is a lot more than talent," Joseph said. "It's leadership -- whether you like it or not, it comes with leadership obligations. It comes with studying and understanding the systems.
"He's ready for it. He wants the challenge. He's looking forward to getting back in and going to work. It's going to be a fair, open competition, and whoever plays better is going to be the guy."
The pitfalls of 140 characters.
The full quote, however, begs the question, how does Vance Joseph know that Paxton is ready?
I think Lynch's best chance is that McCoy seems like the kind of coordinator who can create an offense in which Lynch has a real chance to succeed.
I don't think Kubiak was that kind of guy and they should have targeted a different position in the first round last year.
Whether you like Him or you don't like Him.....LEARN to love Him. Because He's the best thing going TODAY. Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Wooooooooo!
It is not the coaches I worry about.
I am getting a real good vibe from VJ myself.
McCoy was the only coach in the NFL who could be patient with Tebow and win games with him. Considering how everyone else in the football world was mentally blowing up and how the rest of Tebow's career went...well I am pretty sure we can put faith in McCoy's patience
"You need the highs and the lows," he says. "Because if it gets this way" -- he draws a flat line in the air -- "it kind of feels like you're not really doing anything." - John Elway
I didnt blatantly misquote anything. I posted what Cameron Wolfe tweeted/reported what Vance Joseph said. Wolfe did not divulge the entire quote by Joseph; and because I wasnt aware of the entire quote, I posted the quote that Wolfe reported, thinking it was all there was to the quote. Later on, Ian St Clair tweeted and pointed out that Cameron Wolfe did not report the full quote...
Ian St. Clair
Wasn't a complete quote (from Vance Joseph)...Wolfe was extremely careless w/ [reporting quote].
Remainder of quote - "He's ready for it. He wants the challenge. He's looking forward to getting back in & going to work."
Nothing I did was blatant. I dont get why Im being shot at in this thread for posting something that was reported by a reliable reporter, only to find out the next day or so that the reporter did not divulge everything that was said.
Denver Broncos
New York Yankees
New York Knicks
Colorado Avalanche
Let's be clear. You THINK they insinuated it. You're taking your perceived implication of a generic coaches statement and proclaiming it as fact. What do you have to say about the other comments by people of the organization of Paxton that contradict those "insinuations"? Those don't count? Only the statements that you're interpreting as a slight to Paxton count?
Last edited by ksubroncosfan; 03-20-2017 at 10:47 AM.
I think the implication came from the source the user quoted which was incomplete itself and gave the false impression to more than one person. It wasn't malicious on the OP's part, but an honest mistake based on the source.
If half a quote was a little misleading, the full quote leaves no room for doubt.
If you want to assume what this coaching staff knows about these QBs before OTAs, keep in mind that Kubiak said Vance Joseph is a close friend. So, I'd expect Joseph reached out to Kubiak to get some info about the QBs on the roster. Also, Joseph retained Studesville and Tolbert, coaches that know how the QBs handle themselves on the field and behind the scenes.
So yeah, the current staff has not coached the QBs yet, but Joseph already did some work to know Siemian is a "smart guy", "a leader" and "his teammates love him and they love playing for him". And I will be beyond shocked if Siemian still does not have Mike McCoy's playbook. Somehow, that playbook must have showed up inside a "pizza" at the training room.

And despite having been at the top of the game for more than a decade now, rugby fans should be fortunate enough to be able to watch O'Driscoll do his stuff for a few more years to come.
''I still have more to give. I have seen players leave well before their time and I would hate to do that. So why bother with an end date?" said O'Driscoll ahead of Ireland's Six Nations opener against Italy on Saturday.
''I have ambitions to set records which will be hard to chase down, like getting more than 100 caps for Ireland."
If all goes to plan, that century of Irish caps should be reached against Wales at Croke Park on March 13.
By then Ireland will have already played Italy, France and England as they chase a second clean sweep in as many seasons having ended a 61-year wait 11 months ago.
But despite his vast experience and Ireland's recent success, O'Driscoll admits that he will still be engulfed by butterflies in the lead up to each of this year's Six Nations ties - just as he was when he made the final preparations for his first international against the Wallabies back in 1999.
''I was really looking forward to my first cap and didn't start feeling nervous until the fireworks went off when Australia came onto the pitch,'' added O'Driscoll.
''I wasn't expecting that. Once the whistle went for the start of the game all those nerves evaporated.
''You need to be forcing your food down. The butterflies focus the mind and get you ready for combat.''
When Ireland line up against the Azzurri at Croke Park this weekend, O'Driscoll's role as national captain ensures it is he who will lead his troops into that highly-charged combat which he so aptly describes.
When it comes to the Magners League, O'Driscoll plays a starring role for 2008 Champions Leinster but the position of skipper is left in the more-than-capable hands of veteran lock Leo Cullen.
It is a situation that suits O'Driscoll, allowing him time to breathe, to concentrate on his own game and on national responsibilities while Cullen deals with the day-in, day-out matters of provincial leadership.
But while O'Driscoll is quick to acknowledge that there are plenty of natural leaders in the Ireland set up, he does hint that he would be mightly disappointed if the role was given to one of his colleagues.
''We're in the fortunate position of having a lot of great leaders around so the workload is shared. But it would be strange to be playing in an Ireland international and not be captain," explained O'Driscoll, who captained the Lions on their 2005 tour of New Zealand.
'Keith Wood was the last Irish captain I played under and that feels like an eternity ago.
''I enjoy it as much now as I did in the early days, though it probably comes more naturally to me now."

How many times has a player made his highest score with bat and taken his best figures with the ball in the same Test, as Joe Root has done this Test?
Printable View
How many times has a player made his highest score with bat and taken his best figures with the ball in the same Test, as Joe Root has done this Test?
Imagine it happens on test debut pretty much all the time.
Interesting one is that Lords is only the second test ever where all 4 openers have been out LBW in the first innings. Staggering, really.
Two complete Tests in a home Ashes series and not a single rain break. Got to be a record, right?
I just read that Australia's top four batsmen have averaged 19.06 so far this series. To put that in perspective, the final four batsmen are doing a better job, averaging 20.07
**** all to do with stats, but Sky are showing day 2 of the 1994/95 Sydney Test and it got me wondering - when and why did England stop wearing the MCC colours on tour?
In the last 6 Ashes Tests, Australia have scored more runs in our second innings compared to our first innings each time.
But here is a more unbelievable stat: In matches where we've completed both of our innings, the last time Australia has scored more runs in our first innings over our second innings against England goes way back to the second Test at Edgbaston 21 Tests ago!
Were there any tests in 2006/7 where you completed both innings?
I imagine "scoring fewer runs in the first innings than the second" correlates pretty highly with losing.
No there wasn't and yes it does correlate. You would just think though there would be a couple of occasions where our main failure was the second innings. Its almost as though, England ease off a little (which is quite embarrassing really) or our batsman suddenly remember that we have to concentrate more and knuckle down a bit, second time around.
Thinking about it I'm not sure "ease off a little" is going to be a bad thing all the time. If you're defending 600 in the 4th innings then you're going to be well on board with the opposition scoring 400, so maybe you adjust your strategy accordingly. I think there's a little truth to that.
Get a big lead, set attacking fields and get 10 wickets. Runs don't matter in that situation as much as batting time does. If your opposition can't bat out the game for a draw because they aren't good enough with a big lead there's cheap runs to be made. There is pressure batting last but it's not run scoring pressure.

Vaginal bleeding after sex is common and can happen when you're not menstruating or don't expect to be menstruating. Although it's often called "vaginal" bleeding, the term refers to bleeding from the vagina as well as bleeding from other parts of your genital and urinary systems.
Vaginal bleeding after sex occurs most often in younger, premenopausal women and doesn't necessarily mean that you need to see a doctor. But vaginal bleeding after sex in older, postmenopausal women is less common and warrants a visit to your doctor to find out what's causing it.

You fans of the early 5 and 7 series BMWs will have your day, as I'm going to shoot at least one example of each for this series... but that's going to have to wait, because we've got a "stop the presses" sort of a find for today. Yes, it's what appears to be a genuine first-generation BMW M6 (or a really, really good fake). I was out for a walk and spotted this red shark parked in a handicapped zone next to Alameda Hospital. You see, handicapped drivers here in the Bay Area don't allow their disabilities to dilute their love for fast German cars. Fewer than 2,000 E24 M6s were sold in North America during the 1983-89 period. The '87 came with a 256-horse six and a price tag of $55,950 ($106,695.07 in 2008 bucks), just a few grand less than a new Porsche 928S. This example is in very nice condition for a street-driven 21-year-old car. Sure, 256 horsepower in a 3,570-pound car isn't such a big deal nowadays, but this thing was a fearsome factory hot rod in its time. DOTS 1-200 • DOTS 201-250Reply69 repliesLeave a reply

A lot of money without discussion
Millions of dollars in public funds are listed on the Consent Agenda and Regular Agenda for the Oro Valley Town Council this week.
After this public meeting, the Council plans to adjourn for the summer.
If you are unhappy about any of these decisions, maybe they're hoping you'll forget about it before they return in the fall.
On the Consent Agenda there are "housekeeping items" totaling close to $628,000. We think these decisions are worthy of a public hearing for discussion and comment from the residents. Some examples: Items: J&K. The Police department wants more officers for Oro Valley while requesting to assign three of our officers outside of OV: One to Pima County and two to Tucson for one year. What is the cost to taxpayers to have these officers assigned outside of Oro Valley?
Until all the facts are public, how do we know what's best for Oro Valley?
Item: I. For the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitor's Bureau (MTCVB) there is a three-year contract that includes steep increases for services. Year one: $74,970; Year two: $120,000 and another increase to $175,000 for year three. Has this historically been a sound investment? If so, why does the town feel the need to add two new personnel to our Economic Development Department? Are there redundancies? Some public discussion needs to occur.
Item: P. Another $41,011 to TREO for more junkets to exclusive 5-star resorts. I refer you to the same questions asked regarding MTCVB.
Until the US Economy improves, can we realistically think tourism, new businesses and existing business growth will magically occur in Oro Valley? By contributing to pay six-figure salaries to these outside agencies does that help OV? Marana said "no" to both agencies, they have attracted new business.
Item: O. A multi-use path that is to be funded by a grant of $969,837. The town would be responsible for any undetermined 'overmatch' should the project exceed the grant monies. It appears there is NO CAP on how much the Town would pay if the project exceeds budget in partnership with ADOT. Given the history of government efficiency, I find this worrisome.
All of these items are on the Consent Agenda. No discussion, no questions unless responsible Council Members "pull" these items for discussion. It would then be at the Mayor's discretion if taxpayers are permitted to comment. None of these items should have been on the Consent Agenda.
Conny Culver, Oro Valley
A vote in favor of the F-35 in Tucson
It has been a long road for the F-35. From the countless environmental hearings here in town to the debates on the floor of our nation's capitol. But it looks like the program has finally turned the corner.
Forbes.com recently stated that the F-35 program is "progressing nicely" and that it is gradually becoming "an American success story." We all know how important this program is to our air base, to the local suppliers, and to the jobs that the program provides.
Now that the program is beginning to prove successful, I hope that the local leaders in elected office who have had their reservations about the program see that the F-35 will only help our local economy and citizens for decades to come.
Devin Williams, Marana

Montreal, August 23rd 2006 – Following the success of the first two editions, the third Tremblant Forum on corporate responsibility and sustainability will be held at Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, on September 21, 2006. The conference, which is organized by NATIONAL Public Relations, will focus on ways in which companies, governments and NGOs are creating sustainable communities and maximizing the well-being of current residents and future generations. "Sustainable communities are increasingly viewed as able to bring long-lasting solutions to both local and global issues," explains Rick Petersen, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Responsibility, at NATIONAL.
Tremblant Forum 06 will provide an opportunity to learn more about economic, social and environmental issues currently facing communities—regardless of size—and discuss global best practices for dealing with these challenges. "The perfect scale for models of sustainable development, in environmental and social terms, is at the municipal level. Municipalities hold the key to a sustainable world," explains Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt, founder of the Natural Step, a world leader in sustainable development and designing sustainability plans for municipalities and companies. Dr. Robèrt will deliver the keynote speech at this year's Tremblant Forum.
What is a sustainable community?
A sustainable community meets its residents' economic, social and environmental needs without compromising the ability of future generations to enjoy the same quality of life. The creation and maintenance of sustainable communities is only possible through the concerted efforts of companies, citizens, and governments.
"With climate change, significant increases in energy demand and a widening gap in the distribution of wealth, people in modern society are inevitably coming face to face with new challenges," explains M. Petersen. "Companies are now at the forefront of sustainable solutions."
Citizens must be able to rely on clean air and drinking water and the opportunity to live in a convivial community that meets their cultural and spiritual needs." The vast scope of needs observed worldwide prompted me to ask myself about what social actions I could take in my own community," affirms Daniel Germain, president and founder of the Quebec Breakfast club and Breakfast Clubs of Canada and speaker at the event. "Today, I can ensure that every effort we make in our immediate environment generates long-term benefits."
Governments must be able to offer citizens and companies the tools needed to maximize investments in sustainable development. "Canadian municipal governments have developed real practical solutions to sustainable infrastructure challenges. Opportunities to share knowledge and learn from each other will help keep us at the forefront of sustainable development," explains Elizabeth Arnold, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Community Development, Canadian Federation of Municipalities, also an event speaker.
A must-attend event
The Tremblant Forum's participants will once again be able to take advantage of the experience and expertise of more than 20 Canadian and international leaders in corporate responsibility and sustainability, who will explore four main themes: urban infrastructures, community partnerships, sustainable energy, and community relations.
Those interested in participating in this event may register by telephone at (514) 843-7171 or on the Forum's Web site at www.tremblantforum.org. Registration includes a luncheon, cocktails and return transportation from Montreal.
Tremblant Forum 2006 will be certified "carbon neutral" by Planetair.

Tanya ''fang'' the teams close eliminations/hand to hand expert was loaded up with two fully automatic Glock 18's one on each hip, two separate 7'' combat knives, and her favorite rifle an mp5
Next up was Kevin whom the whole team unanimously nicknamed ''ghost'' the teams stealthy eliminations expert was loaded very light in comparison he had an M-4 assault rifle with a silencer, and a Beretta M92 also silenced tanya was training in a jungle with Kevin one time and she didn't hear anything until he was right behind her and slashed her with the ''knife''
And what about me you say? They call me "the reaper''
Well my load out is simple. Im loaded with an M16 A1 with a scope and grenade launcher, a SPAS 10 gauge shotgun, and two Glock 19's .40 caliber single shot
Suddenly the light beside me turned red flooding the bay we where in with light
Everyone in the team knew exactly what that meant ''2 minutes till drop'' the cabin fluttered to life with movement as everybody put their helmet on and locked the pressure seal
I put on my own helmet locked it and turned on coms saying "com check'' all 4 said ''coms up'' over the com. It was game time!
''okay'' I said over com 'once we hit the ground ghost I want you to get in as far as possible wait for my green light then do what you do'' he nodded ''wraith I want you to pick the most hidden spot you can, thread a silencer and wait for my green'' she too just nodded ''tank I want you up in front fang, rear guard'' I paused '' we will make the main assault'' both flashed the devil horns. I turned to the science officer I think her name was jenny ''jenny you are now ''doc'' welcome to the team your on chopper guard. Stay here till ghost comes in he will lead you to us'' jenny said ''I can handle myself'' ''your on my team now! Stay with the god damn chopper till ghost comes"
The light turned green and I stood up and opened the bay door. Clear for now the pilot turned off the engine and I jumped out and took a look around. My jaw dropped. The whole area looked like it had been burnt to ashes once I regained my breath I called over com '' move out hell fighters the ship is to the west''
Wraith and ghost slipped out of sight, and tank got in front of me, fang to the rear
''holy hell'' fang said over com ''this place looks like hell''
''move out'' I said we walked for half an hour till we saw the ship. We landed a half mile from it so we wherent spotted on radar if they had one I pulled out my field binos
It was huge! The size of a 757 easily and I spotted out of the corner of my eye a small area where 10 civilians where cleaning up debris under guard by what looked like 3 huge rats with what looked like some kind of weapon that looked like a super soaker but I remembered the report word for word and knew they where no water gun
Something was odd here
The survivors where stripped naked 4 males 6 females all looked as if they had been through hell
I opened up the com again ''wraith do you see those survivors under guard?''
''sir yes sir'' came her answer ''ive got em in sight and got three body bags with their name on em''
I paused ''take em out wraith. Our top priority is rescue the survivors'' ''sir yes sir. Three ugly plates of rat salad coming up''
I could see them drop one after another and wraith came on com ''hope ya like your meat well done reaper'' ''outstanding shooting wraith! Ghost get to those survivors and evac them to the Blackhawk''
'' yes sir''
Wraith were going for the ship. How are the roads there?'' '' roads are blocked sir but if you look to your right you may like what you see''
He looked to his right and indeed like what he saw '' hey ghost unmount the Gatling gun from the chopper and mule it to my location. Wraith……. Thanks''
''just remember something captain……. I saw it first! Finders keepers'' '' roger that wraith! Ill keep the set warm''
They worked furiously getting the hummer wraith found ready for its new job
They removed the doors and welded them to the front
"well'' tank said ''she aint miss America but shell work fine'' I got behind the wheel and started it up tank took a position on the roof with the gun "you secure tank? You aint gonna fall off?'' '' roger that im secure here'' fang climmed into the rear and broke the rear windows out so she could shoot
We started barreling down to the ship when we saw the rat army I gave the ''fire at will'' order and heard tank open up I stepped harder on the gas and tuned into the thick of the army
After all why alse did we weld the doors to the front?
We came to the ship and I pulled under it to a blindspot and got out ''tank your with fang. Fang I want you to find a place to stow the truck we may need it to evac more survivors. Im going in! wraith keep an eye on the front door'' ''roger sir, careful I have a funny feeling''
I unsung my M16 and went inside as they sped off, the inside of the ship was dimly lit so I turned on my helmet light. When I did a saw it. Right in front of me was one of the rat guys and his buddy who looked like a squid with legs. Training took over, I dropped to one knee and opened fire on the rat who fell to the ground in a pile of green blood. I turned the barrel of my weapon on the squid who took it and batted it aside and knocked me on my ass. Now very pissed off at this thing I sprang up un hooking my glock but leaving it in its holster and reached for my KBAR knife and planted in the slow squid who let out a ear shattering scream, I left the knife in him and started punching away at his ugly face. I took my hand off him long enough to reach my glock, and empty the clip into sis ugly head. I stood once again and saw my M16 laying on the floor, I reloaded it with a fresh clip and slung it
It was too long for these tight corners. I instead un holstered my second glock and reloaded the first
''stupid alien bitches! Wait till they taste this'' I walked down the hall to what looked like a door, I opened it and cursed my luck. There were 20 more squid fuckers in tho room they all saw me, one of them wrapped its tentacles around my glocks and ripped them away. My first thought was to throw a frag but they must have read my mind cause they unzipped the vest they were pinned too
I had a tentacle around each of my wrists and one on each ankle the head squid fucker spoke to me in clear English telling me to stop fighting ''fuck you'' I said ''oh believe me you will'' with that I blacked out from being drugged.
When I came to I felt cold and noticed I was floating in the air and I was naked
''what do you think earthling?'' came that same fucking voice I answered ''I am captain john hiller USMC you can kiss my ass alien fuck! Itll be a cold day in hell before I tell you anything so you can just kill me now" '' oh captain we do not intend to kill you. We simply want to conduct some experiments''
''id rather you fuck off! Once you took off my helmet my team was alerted and any minute they will find me and kill you'' he pointed to 2 more floating naked people ghost and wraith '' you mean them?''
I breathed a sigh of relief that they didn't find fang tank and the truck
"you are perfect for our research'' he started to take off his suit ''oh great im going to get raped by this ass'' I thought ''im just glad I have been with a bunch of guys''
He got down to completely naked and I stared wide eyed! His penis was two feet long and 5 inches wide
I screamed as he stepped closer to me and started to snake a tentacle around my now hard cock
''hmm how ineffective'' he said and snaked a second tentacle into my ass hole ''these organs are so small and crude'' his tentacle snaked deeper into my ass and kept going and going I was screaming in pain as every inch stretched me to my limit ''oh earthling'' he said taking the tentacle all the way out '' that was nothing'' he gagged me as he aimed his massive cock at my asshole the pain shot through me worse than a bullet it felt as if he where going to tear me in half by fucking me. My ass swallowed inch after inch of the squids cock as he hit something and couldn't go any farther I said a silent prayer but that soon turned out bad. ''this hole can take more'' he said as he grabbed my shoulders and pushed in till the base hit my ass cheek. Pain shot through me as he destroyed my inner organs, and I blacked out.
When I came around for the second time I felt a weight on my chest and spoke ''oh my god where am I''
I noticed the voice was not mine and my heart jumped I looked down and saw my ccup breasts.I felt light headed as I took a hand and grabbed at my crotch only to find a vagina
''I am truly sorry for that'' came the lead squids voice from the corner of the room ''I didn't think I would hurt you that bad'' what did you do to me you squid ass hole?'' '' I am sorry captain but when I was having sex with you , you broke and I fixed you'' ''by turning me into a woman?'' '' I read your mind it is a deep secret of yours isn't it ?'' ''well it is but I didn't think it would happen I want kids someday''
''you can still you are a fully functional woman……with a few bonuses'' ''what bonuses?''
'' since I owe you for what I did I made it so your friends, family and everybody you have ever met will see you as if you have always been a woman even your squad mates'' ''wow'' '' there is more we also gave you our ability which means you can take any shape you want male or female and you will be able to grow a working penis of any size by just thinking of it and you have an unlimited supply of wishes''
''wishes'' yes we will grant you anything you wish for as long as you live'' ''okay give my team back their clothes ant put them where you found them with no memory of what happened'' ;; done''
'' I want you to give me my suit back''my suit appeared in front of me '' weapons too I wont kill you''
My weapons appeared to the left of everything I started to check my weapons they where all in working order I started the pre suit up routine on my suit ''so we have a few minutes while my suit boots up so lets try out my new pussy! I want you to shrink your cock down too 10 inches and go easy
His dick shrank down and he got me in doggy style position and started to insert his cock in my new pussy
The pleasure was so intense I couldn't stand it I came in the first minute as he fucked harder and harder I came more and more he was all the way in my pussy when he flipped me over and started playing with my tits as he thrust in and out it was amazing. I imagined a cock 12 inches long and it appeared before my eyes. I started jerking it the feeling of having a pussy an a cock was intense I came a gallon on my hair and face and the squid came in my pussy. I collapsed to the floor in a heap as he pulled out ''wait can I get pregnant ?'' ''not unless you want too'' ''good I want you to make me so I look like a model but not super skinny and not bitchy looking'' I went to a mirror and the face staring back at me was one from my dreams ''I got dressed in my armor all but the helmet for now it felt like it was made for me the same way it was when I was a 250 pound man. ''my new name'' ''jessie captain jessica hiller'' I need you to transport yourself to my home and your ship to get off earth. It has to look like my team finished their mission''
'' it is already set up my men will make it look real don't worry their guns will be set to safe mode if they hit you it will knock you down but it wont hurt.'' ''good. My weapons are as I left them?'' '' none of my men altered them in any way'' I had all my gear on by now all weapons strapped in '' I have never met an earth force this strong. How are you so effective? My team got lucky'' '' my team has trained for years''
'' fair enough'' '' I need you to release 3 more survivors and have them come with me''
''okay'' '' the rest you can play with and alter their sex organs actually transport them to my home with you make a new room under the house and we can play with them together'' '' your such a freaky girl now'' I laughed as I un holstered my glocks and racked the slides back and released them
''sorry I killed so many of your guys'' ''its okay I have plenty'' ''okay love its time to get this show going'' I said as he disappeared hopefully to my house and 3 survivors appeared in front of me
''who are you?'' said a tall guy ''im your rescue sir'' I said slipping my helmet on I said ''follow me''
They all followed as we went back to the entrance I noticed there where two more rat guys there I slammed them with the butt end of my glocks and went through the door ''fang ? Tank? Do you copy?''
''read ya loud and clear reaper lost radio contact for a while you okay?'' ''im good things got hairy I had to claw my way out bring the truck I have 3 survivors''
'' roger ''
I pretended to ''hold off' the rat guys till they arrived I got the survivors in the truck told fang to get shotgun and I got in ''listen up science op aborted all teams fall back to the chopper pilot get us ready to dust off heavy 3 more survivors'' everyone acknowledged
Once at the chopper we all got in linked up with ghost and wraith and lifted off
So did the alien ship as it vanished in a cloud of fire ''that's what took so long huh captain?'' said tank
''yeah I wired their reactor to blow'' (that just popped into my head)
I took my helmet off and joan gasped ''you are bleeding reaper ''
''yeah I smashed my head''
I leaned back and sighed. In the USMC records it would show that my team eliminated the hostile craft and its leader
When the truth was their leader was in a new secret room under my house

Glock 19 is 9mm, not .40 caliber and certainly not "single shot".
Facts are fine but not when you make them up.

Good but a few things, as well as some already mentioned, an MP5 is not a rifle!
But good apart from that
For those that dont know, a rifle is a gun with spirals in the barrels, meaning greater accuracy, guns dont have that.

PROVIDENCE – An index of Rhode Island's leading economic indicators produced by Providence Business News and e-forecasting.com rose 1.1 percent in November to 124.8 from 123.5 in October.
The 1.1 percent increase in November – the largest gain since March 2012, when the index also rose 1.1 percent – followed an increase of 1 percent in October, signifying an acceleration of expected economic growth in the state. November was the seventh consecutive month of improvement in Rhode Island's leading economic indicators.
The economic indicator index uses nine statistics to forecast the direction of the state's economy over the next three to six months. Positive numbers signal growth while negative numbers denote contraction.
A reading of 100 on the Providence Business News/e-forecasting.com Leading Economic Indicator Index is equivalent to the state's activity in 2000. In November 2012, the leading indicator index was 118.7.
Seven of the nine components made a positive contribution to Rhode Island's economy in November, including: unemployment claims, weekly hours in manufacturing, regional consumer expectations, national stock prices, the interest rate spread, the national orders index and the state employment barometer.
November marked the second consecutive month that the state employment barometer registered a positive contribution on the Leading Economic Indicator Index.
Two of the components made a negative contribution to index in November, including building permits and manufacturing exports.
In November, Rhode Island's six-month growth rate – "a signal of turning points" – was 6.6 percent, up from a rate of 5.2 percent in October.
By comparison, the long-term annual growth rate for the index was 1.9 percent, the same as the annual growth rate of the state's overall economic activity.
Nationally, the e-forecasting.com U.S. leading economic indicator jumped up 1.5 percent in November, with a rising six-month growth rate of 6.5 percent.
Six of the seven components used to calculate the U.S. leading economic indicator made positive contributions in November, including new manufacturing orders, national stock prices, national consumer expectations, interest rate spread, manufacturing productivity and foreign demand.
The sole component to negatively impact the U.S. leading indicator in November was housing activity.
Lets hope these indicators are correct. However, despite the recent reforms by the both the State of Rhode Island and the city of Providence there are major hurdles for local governments in the immediate future.Providence is most definitely still in trouble and my study shows that between 4 and 7 towns are headed for receivership in the next few years unless immediate action is taken. The spill over effect and subsequent impact on taxpayers will put a huge dent in consumer spending and most likely the indicators you cite. http://rishrugs.blogspot.com/

Go lil yellow Roobicon...
I have a 19 year old daughter that has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and is built like a brick shithouse.
Fact of the matter is that I don't care what she wears because I spent more time and effort making sure that SHE took pride in herself personally because people who are going to judge her on her looks alone are not worth the time of day. I let her get her belly button pierced when she was 15, she just recently got a tattoo and although I did not want her to get it I just explained my reasons and made sure she understood that others may be much quicker to form a opinion on her based on it. Truth is she is much more conservative than I could have dreamed and much more mature and self-reliant than most people of her generation by miles. not to mention the fact that I would have to open up a garment factory because nothing on the racks fit her really anyway.... |

Headed to Nationals 2017!
I decided to ask my 16 yr old what she thought. She told me that short shorts and low cut tops are just for personal arrogance an ego................My answer was What? Then she goes on to tell me they wear them, so that they can be higher up the rung of social elitism............(I'm still clueless on what goes on in my girls head)
Then she tells me that the guys looking at that, don't really need short shorts to be perverted, they could pretty much be that way if a girl was wearing a gunny sack. I busted out laughing. (of course my daughter being who she is, could pretty much handle herself in most guy/girl situations, I would just feel a little sorry for the guy. |

Oklahoma Anti-Sharia Efforts Thwarted Again As Bill Dies In State Senate
State Rep. Sally Kern (R) introduced a bill in February that was modeled after State Question 755, which voters overwhelmingly approved in November. SQ755 amended the state constitution so that it "forbids courts from considering or using international law [and] forbids courts from using or considering Sharia Law."
At the end of November, federal Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange granted a temporary injunction against the measure after a Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) official sued to block it, saying that the case goes "to the very foundation of our country, our Constitution, and particularly, the Bill of Rights."
The Oklahoma Election Board appealed the decision to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Kern's bill describes itself as an "Act relating to foreign law," declares any ruling to be "void and unenforceable" if it is based on "any law, rule, legal code or system that would not grant the parties affected by the ruling or decision the same fundamental liberties, rights, and privileges granted under the United States and Oklahoma Constitutions." It passed the House by a vote of 76-3.
"This bill is American law for American courts. That's what it's about," the Associated Press reports she said. "This bill does not in any way violate the First Amendment, which is freedom of religion. It doesn't trample any other rights given in the constitution."

Joseph Carter, a telephone company technician, announced yesterday he will seek a seat on Toledo City Council.
The Lucas County Board of Elections certified Mr. Carter s petitions for the Sept. 15 primary on Monday.
Also certified Monday was Terry Shankland. Previously certified to the ballot was Mark Clark.
Mr. Carter graduated from Swanton High School and served in the Army. He is a technician for Verizon, working in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio.
Mr. Carter, 36, a registered Democrat, said he was president of his Communications Workers of America local for 5 years. He has never run for public political office.
I think there s a lot of things that are broke in the city and some of the focus [of the spending] is in the wrong direction. We really need to worry about jobs and safety, Mr. Carter said.
Six at-large seats on City Council are on the ballot this year. The top 12 vote-getters in the primary election will face off Nov. 3.

Tattoo artists sound off on new safety rules
COSTA MESA – The sounds of buzzing tattoo machines and rock music will fill the Orange County fairgrounds this weekend for the sixth annual Musink Tattoo Convention and Music Festival, the first since a new state law put stricter safety regulations on the booming body-art industry.
The biggest change will be meeting the requirement that tattoo or piercing booths have hand-washing stations, even if it's a large water bottle and bucket. A medical equipment company is required to be hired to pick up used tattoo needles. And each of the 300 artists expected must have been cleared by an Orange County health agency and acquired a permit.
The regulations in the bill that Gov. Jerry Brown signed last year, which went into effect in July, are an attempt to protect people receiving tattoos from infectious diseases such as hepatitis B.
Since then, some local artists have begun raising prices on services and leaving professional shops because of the new standards, which require annual government permits, health classes and costlier disposable materials.
Tommy Tetreault, owner of Tommy T's Body Piercing in Huntington Beach, said that the higher prices come from more complex safety procedures.
"We didn't know anything about anything. We were learning (piercing) on our own," Tetreault said. "If you're (sanitizing) everything the way you're supposed to be doing it, you have to charge more."
Bill Hardie, founder and promoter of Musink, said in an email that meeting the new requirements has not posed a problem.
"We adhered to all the new health requirements, while taxing and expensive, and 100 percent support better health and safety requirements," he wrote. "I know that sounds odd, but you're getting a tattoo, open skin, blood, needles. We want the best environment for people who attend our event. We are already the cleanest and most sanitary festival around."
Attempts at stronger regulation are not new. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed multiple bills before Brown signed one, said Pearl Boelter, a manager with Orange County Environmental Health, the government agency overseeing Orange County body-art shops.
Before the law was passed, cross-contamination and unsafe procedures were practiced in some shops because of a lack of education, Tetreault said.
"There had to have been diseases spread because of that," he said. "Hopefully, that will get better in the upcoming years."
Boelter said because of the new act, the health department now has the enforcement tools to prevent unsafe work environments.
"Prevention of infectious diseases is the key," Boelter said. "It brings awareness of safe tattooing, piercing and permanent make-up."
Before the Safety Body Art Act, California did not have a uniform process to evaluate body-modification shops; 12 Orange County cities and the unincorporated areas had ordinances.
Artists now have to obtain a Body Art Technician permit from the county agency, which has to be renewed annually for $39. Before the act, artists paid a one-time registration fee of $25.
To be approved, an artist must be at least 18, complete two hours of infectious-disease training and provide hepatitis B immunization records or a waiver of immunization.
Tetreault, who began studying occupational safety in 2000, was asked by the county to hold regular classes for artists seeking disease training.
"Most artists really want to learn, at least the new ones," he said. "Some of the older ones don't have much of an educational background, so it's more of a struggle."
In his classes, Tetreault goes through PowerPoint slides about proper sterilization steps and information on HIV and hepatitis. Artists must take the classes every year to renew their permits.
Body-art businesses also must renew their health permits every year after passing inspection.
Currently, 367 artists have been licensed in Orange County and 153 shops have requested permits, though only 51 have received them because they have not all been inspected, said Boelter, who added that the department hopes to have all shops inspected by the end of the year.
Frank Tran, owner of Eighth Element Tattoo in Fountain Valley, said that his shop has not been inspected, but he asked health agency inspectors to come. He said he hopes that safety regulations become stricter over time because he says that all body-art shops should be held accountable for being clean and protected.
"Peace of mind is priceless," Tran said. "I want to go home and be able to hug my kid knowing he's safe."
Under the new ordinance, Tran has to require that tattoo artists in his shop use disposable equipment and approved ink brands.
Phil Myers, a tattoo artist at Sick Dogs Tattoo in Westminster, said most professional tattoo shops already were operating under the safety measures and he has not had to raise prices for services. He says the ordinance was enacted for government profit.
"They've just created extra hoops for us to jump through. It's fees on top of fees," Myers said.
Steven Riggs, owner of Beauty and the Ink, a hybrid hair salon and tattoo studio in Lake Forest, agrees with Myers that the ordinance seems like a reason for financial gain in a newly popular and profitable industry.
"It just seems like California has its hands in your pockets," he said. "There's a lot more money in the tattoo business now."
Inc. Magazine estimated in 2007 that the U.S. tattoo industry was worth more than $2 billion, and a Harris Poll reported a 7 percent increase in tattooed adults since 2008, up to 21 percent in 2012.
Riggs said because of the necessary permitting for artists, many have shied away from working in his shop to avoid classes and fees.
"It's a lot different than the way things once were," Riggs said.
Myers and Riggs said that instead of focusing on professional tattoo shops, the health department should be putting effort into shutting down illegal at-home tattoo operations advertised for low prices online.
"If they're going to ask us to pay those fees, then they need to pay attention to the people who are really spreading the disease," Myers said. "I go on Craigslist a couple times a week and see tons of posts. All (inspectors) need to do is book an appointment."
Boelter said the department is working on sending standardized letters to code violators working outside regulated shops and can fine individuals between $25 and $100.
Jorge Enrique Quiroz, 25, of Costa Mesa said that he got his first tattoo when he was 17 and since then has been tattooed at home and in professional shops.
"Usually a house tattoo is not as good as a professional," Quiroz said. "You pay a lot more at tattoo shops because of their name and credibility."

from:How to Find Hunting Land for Sale in Texas
There is a wide variety of hunting in the state of Texas. For this reason, Texas is one of the country's most popular states for owning hunting land, both by individuals and by hunting clubs. Texas has an abundant amount of wildlife including wild boar, white tail deer, quail, turkey, mule deer, rabbit, morning dove, white winged dove, fox, coyote, raccoon, bobcat and even mountain lion. Texas still has many remote areas, so it's fairly easy to find hunting land for sale in Texas at prices you can afford. And unlike many other areas of the country, in Texas you can find large parcels of land for sale, allowing you to own 100 acres or more for hunting.
Most of the hunting land for sale in Texas is in the form of ranches. However, this doesn't necessarily mean a working ranch – but rather a parcel of land large enough for ranching. By purchasing such a large parcel of land, you'll be certain that you can develop portions of the land later, if you choose. In addition, when you're hunting on your own privately owned land, you may be exempt from many hunting regulations.
There are several ways to find hunting land for sale in Texas. Some realtors in the area work exclusively to match current land owners with parties interested in purchasing hunting land. You can find these resources both locally and online. By working with the resources that specialize in finding hunting land for sale in Texas, you may make your search faster and easier.
When working with your realtor or other resource to locate your hunting land for sale in Texas, there are a few things to keep in mind:
• Has the land been hunted previously? Find out how much hunting has been done on the land. You want to ensure that there is wildlife on the land, but you also want to ensure that the land has not been over hunted.
• What wildlife is on the land? It's important to ensure that the wildlife you're interested in hunting is available on the land. This is mostly a matter of choosing the right area of the state when purchasing your hunting land.
• What hunting regulations apply to hunting on private land? In many states, you are totally unregulated when hunting on your own land. However, this is not always the case. Before you purchase hunting land for sale in Texas or any other state, it's important to know the hunting regulations you'll be required to follow.
If you keep these things in mind, you should have no trouble finding hunting land in Texas that meets your needs and your budget. Good luck and happy hunting!

Had a wonderful bible study on praise this past weekend. I was thinking to myself, "oh, okay on praise." I wasn't too thrilled at first because I really wanted get into the "deeper" things of God. But the bible study leader is pretty consistent in teaching us these deep things of God so I remained patient.
I was not disappointed.
Psalm 150 was one of several scriptures used describing praising God, but this one I want to focus on because of its use of musical instruments, something that is sometimes controversial in the Church. But here it is with its entire chapter – all six verses of it!
Psalm 150
Let All Things Praise the LORD
1 Praise the LORD!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!
Praise him with the trumpet, the lute, the harp, timbrel and dance, stringed intruments and flutes, loud cymbals, clashing cymbals! Wow, all instruments to God's glory!
When I was young and went to grandma and grandpa's church (we weren't church goers in my home with dad an agnostic), I remember distinctively the talk of guitars and drums as being sinful. These days, that has been replaced with hip hoppers, rappers and praise dancers as being sinful by some.
But as I've glanced through some videos of today's Christian rappers and hip hoppers they are using instruments in the praise of God. These days the instruments can even include the fascinating use of computers in music. Take a look from this scene in the "Fighting Temptations," a movie that although wasn't high on my list of good movies, but this scene caught my attention when it came to the mixture of old time gospel and modern synthesized hip hop music. Very interesting!

HELSINKI (AP) — Nokia Siemens Networks is slashing 17,000 jobs worldwide by 2013 — nearly 23 percent of its work force — as it strives to cut costs by euro1 billion ($1.35 billion).
The mobile infrastructure company said Wednesday the measures are part of "an extensive global restructuring program," which includes streamlining the organization to improve long-term competitiveness and profitability.
The Finnish-German joint venture said they will also include "a significant reduction of suppliers."
Nokia Siemens Networks CEO Rajeev Suri said the company will focus on mobile network infrastructure and services market.
"We believe that the future of our industry is in mobile broadband and services. We aim to be an undisputed leader in these areas," Suri said. "At the same time, we need to take the necessary steps to maintain long term competitiveness and improve profitability in a challenging telecommunications market."
He described the planned layoffs as regrettable but necessary.
"As we look towards the prospect of an independent future, we need to take action now to improve our profitability and cash generation," Suri said.
Nokia Siemens, which has been struggling against rival network companies in recent years, is a 50-50 joint venture between Finland's Nokia Corp. and Germany's Siemens AG.
Nokia shares were trading up more than 2 percent at euro4.27 ($5.78) in Helsinki.
The company has 74,000 employees in 150 countries.

Shares of name-your-price travel booker Priceline (PCLN) are down $94.30, or almost 14%, at $585.50 after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue that missed analysts' estimates and projected Q3′s revenue and EPS below consensus, with metrics such as hotel and airfare sales dropping sharply from prior periods.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 20%, year over year, to $1.3 billion, yielding EPS of $7.85.
Analysts had been modeling $1.35 billion and $7.36 per share.
International revenue rose 40%, the company said. Hotel room nights units sold rose by 39% in the quarter, down from the 47% rate in the prior quarter and the 56% rate in the year-earlier period. Ariline ticket sales in units terms fell 1.8%, year over year, reversing 4.9% growth in the prior quarter and 7.3% growth a year earlier.
The 20% revenue growth was the lowest quarterly increase in three years, going back to the 17.5% growth in June of 2009. It was also down sharply from the 44% growth recorded a year earlier.
CEO Jefferey Body called the results "solid" and said the company had "delivered market leading growth from both a top line and profitability perspective," although he noted that "economic uncertainty across Europe, Asia and the U.S." had "intensified as the quarter progressed."
The company saw a 26.8% rise in gross travel bookings, which was 36% when counted in local currency.
For the current quarter, Priceline projects revenue rising from 9% to 15%, year over year. That would imply revenue of $1.6 billion to $1.67 billion, below the average $1.8 billion estimate. EPS is projected in a range of $11.10 to $12.10 per share, below the average $12.82 estimate.
Some competing travel services are trading lower as well, with Expedia (EXPE) shares off $2.62, or 4.5%, at $56.25, Travelzoo (TZOO) off 53 cents, or 2.4%, at $21.97, and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) lower by 14 cents, or 3%, at $4.52. Shares of Asian travel booker Ctrip (CTRP), however, are up 31 cents, or 2.3%, at $13.90.
Priceline's conference call with analysts starts at 4:30 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it here.
Update: The stock has deepened losses, now down $113.71, almost 17%, at $566.09.
