And Here Endeth The First Two-Thirds Of The Year. It Has Been 71 Days Since My Accident.

Many, many moons ago, this was the first ever golf tee trick shot video I ever watched. And I did so sitting on the edge of my fucking seat... was he going to pull it off, or was one of them going home with a broken jaw and missing some teeth? And when he pulled it off, the guy swinging the club seemed just as shocked and delighted as I was. But if you notice, he didn't really hit the ball; meaning he took a swing but not a full power swing like this guy does. And of course mouth tee shots led to ass tee shots, with mixed results. This USF golfer was able to bang a nice tee shot from her teammate's ass, and yet this Playboy Playmate wasn't so lucky. But notice how both of them were laying sideways, perpandicular to the tee shot, thus not exposing the back of the head to the ball, like this guy does. Concussion, ho!

Olive oil as a moisturizer, is good for almost every skin type, according to the Wrinkle Free Skin Tips Web site. When you apply it to your skin before going to bed at night, it helps hold your skin's natural moisture in and prevents it from drying out. Leave your skin just a little bit damp after showering and massage a small amount of olive oil into your skin. Olive oil contains vitamins A and E, which help repair sun and environmental damage done to your skin. So instead of buying a moisturizer from the cosmetic department at the store, buy a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil and use this to moisturize your skin. Olive oil is a natural product that can be used on any part of your body, and its effects may be comparable to more expensive store-bought products. And what is that anyway? Given the electrical plug and both English/French labeling, I'd guess some Canadian product?

In 1948, Nestlé launched a mix for chocolate-flavored milk called Nestle Quik. This was released in Europe during the 1950s as Nesquik. Since 1999, the brand has been known as Nesquik worldwide. Today, the Nesquik name appears on a wide range of products, including breakfast cereals, powdered mixes for flavored milk, syrups, ready to drink products, candy bars, chocolate fondue fountains, hot cocoa mix and more.

I have to be honest, I'm simply having a hard time coming up with a caption for this one.

AR-pattern rifles are the most popular long guns in the United States, with millions of Americans enjoying the versatile sporting rifle. While some AR owners are experienced marksmen, many buyers are picking up their first AR and have little experience with the platform. Being able to safely and effectively use your AR-15 is the most important precursor to enjoying it, whether for hunting, target shooting, or competition. But just like owning a paint brush does not make you a good painter, learning the basics can help ensure users know how to effectively and safely shoot their AR-15 rifle, setting the stage for years of enjoyment.

I'm a stubborn son of a bitch so odds are I'm not going to repent, but if I were, any idea where I'd be headed to in order to get the job done?

You know, last year when I saw this video of a guy using a laser to remove rust I wasn't sure if it was real or one of those hoax special effects videos running around socia media. Nope, turns out it's called the p-Laser and it's real as shit.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona in the United States. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, the Havasupai people and the Navajo Nation. Grand Canyon National Park is one of the world's premier natural attractions, attracting about five million visitors per year. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

Incisors are the front teeth present in most heterodont mammals, and are located in the premaxilla above and on the mandible below. Humans have a total of eight (two on each side, top and bottom). Adult humans normally have eight incisors, two of each type. The types of incisor are: maxillary central incisor (upper jaw, closest to the center of the lips), maxillary lateral incisor (upper jaw, beside the maxillary central incisor), mandibular central incisor (lower jaw, closest to the center of the lips), and the mandibular lateral incisor (lower jaw, beside the mandibular central incisor).

Swim Trunks are brief shorts, loose-fitting or tight, worn as swimsuit, trunks are often referred to as swimming trunks or bathing trunks (or with the more general term bathing suit or a synonym) and are normally shorter than board shorts, which extend to the knees. Trunks are the most popular type of male swimsuit in North America. They vary in style and design, though most are made of nylon with a single draw string to keep them on while wet and a mesh lining for quick drying.

There are rumors that Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback who sat during the National Anthem, might be released from the team. But team officials stressed that any reason he is to be released has nothing to do with his off field protest, and everything to do with his shitty on field performance. Now sure, Kaepernick most certainly has the First Amendment right to expression, but so does Tomi Lahren and she has a much bigger audience than you do. And is hotter.

The Death of Video Game Box Art is the work of YouTuber Jacob Christensen, who provides a blow-by-blow autopsy on how the art of video game promotional art—which back in the 80s was imaginative and beautiful as a matter of routine—has turned generic, lazy, and boring. It's a pretty grim outlook, but perhaps it will inspire someone out there to be a little more creative in marketing a video game.

Many different clothing brands have used a monkey in their logo, but the two most recognizable ones on the market as of 2014 are the Paul Frank Clothing company for young adults, and the Bobby Jack Brand for children. Both use a monkey as their logo for many articles of clothing and accessories. The name of the monkey on the Paul Frank Clothing company logo is Julius the Monkey, created by the founder Paul Frank Sunich. The Bobby Jack Brand features the original monkey named Bobby Jack, but additional company characters include monkeys named Cooper, Babi Jack and Betsy, as well as a mouse named Moose.

A baby's skin is considerably more delicate and sensitive than that of an adult, this is why it requires extra protection from the harsh and damaging effects of sunray. Besides applying sunscreen on your baby's skin, it is also important to buy a high-quality baby sun shade for your car, especially if you travel frequently.

Saturday night, Paige VanZant -- yes, this Paige VanZant -- made her return to the UFC octagon after becoming somewhat of an household name while competing on ‘Dancing with the Stars' and finishing in second place. Watch as Paige knocks out Bec Rawlings with a Karate Kid-style flying kick that would have made Mr. Miyagi beam with pride.

Hey I don't think this is a domestic model, but probably something European. Does anyone know what model this blue car is?

The first ascending-gliding parachute was developed by Pierre-Marcel Lemoigne in 1962. The same year, Lemoigne established an Aeronautical Training Center to introduce his new ascending-gliding parachute as a training tool for parachutists. The technique allows parachutists to train more efficiently by towing the parachutist to a suitable altitude, then releasing them to practice landings. This training method proved cheaper than—and just as effective as—an airplane. In 1963 Jacques-André Istel from Pioneer Parachute Company bought a license from Lemoigne to manufacture and sell the 24-gore ascending-gliding parachute which was trade-named "parasail". Five decades later there are commercial parasailing operations all over the world.

Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. Depicted as an overweight, dimwitted pink starfish, Patrick lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom next door to Squidward Tentacles' moai. His most significant character trait is his lack of common sense, which sometimes leads him and his best friend, main character SpongeBob SquarePants, into trouble. Patrick is unemployed and a self-proclaimed expert in the "art of doing nothing". The character has received positive reactions from critics and fans alike; however, he has been involved in a public controversy that centered on speculation over his relationship with SpongeBob. Patrick has been included in various SpongeBob SquarePants-related merchandise, including trading cards, video games, t-shirts, plush toys, and comic books.

You Are Now About To Witness The Strength Of Street Knowledge.

Paul Eisler was an Austrian inventor born in Vienna. He graduated in engineering from Vienna University of Technology in 1930. Being Jewish, antisemitic German-Nationalist organizations prevented him from getting an engineering job in Vienna, so he obtained employment with the English recording technology firm. Living in a Hampstead boarding house, without work or a work permit, he began to fabricate a radio and invented the printed circuit board while trying to sell some of his ideas. After the war ended, the United States opened access to his printed circuit innovation and since 1948, it has been used in all airborne instrument electronics. Eisler invented many other practical applications of heating technology, such as the pizza warmer and rear window defroster, but was not so successful in their commercialization.

AIDS Walk is a walkathon fundraiser that raises money to combat the AIDS epidemic. The funds raised from AIDS Walks usually benefit a local AIDS service organization (such as Gay Men's Health Crisis, Whitman-Walker Clinic or the AIDS Project Los Angeles), which provide services and advocacy for local community residents who are infected with HIV. They are also often credited for being effective tools of public outreach, community empowerment, and education for the issues surrounding AIDS. These annual fundraising walkathons are held in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Milwaukee.

When they are not in the octagon performing their very important MMA duties—holding up round cards for fans who can't count to five but love ogling chicks in bikinis—you can usually find UFC octagon girls walking red carpets. Or making public appearances at corporate events. Or doing photoshoots for the likes of Maxim. It's that last activity we're interested in today. Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste, the most famous octagon girls in the world, recently teamed up for a lingerie photoshoot

American anthropologist C. Loring Brace has brought forth a theory that the human overbite of Europeans is only about 250 years old, and this shift was the result of the widespread adoption of the table knife and fork. Before the use of cutlery, Europeans would often clamp their teeth on a piece of meat and then cut off a piece with a knife. When Europeans started using forks and knives, the cutting was done on the plate and the overbite became much more common. Brace also researched the Chinese, who had adopted chopsticks 900 years earlier and found the instances of overbites increased about the same time the new eating method was introduced.

If you're looking for a way to change or update the overall style and design of your bathroom or put the finishing touches on a complete makeover, towel rings can do both. Towel rings are as much about function as they are about style. They allow towels to dry quickly and easily while offering a way to keep your bathroom neat and organized. Finding the best towel rings for your bathroom space can be a lot less of a challenge when you know exactly what you're getting into and exactly what you need to look for from these bathroom accessories. Various styles are available, so consider space constraints as well as personal preferences when choosing a style for your bath.

It's a little bit counter-intuitive for a movie studio to do a “surprise remake,” since the whole point of remakes is to capitalize on a familiar name and/or piece of intellectual property in promoting the film, resulting in big profit margins and minimal fan backlash. But it does kind of make sense for a remake of The Blair Witch Project to take an unorthodox path to release, which is the case with the film simply titled Blair Witch.

Kappa is an Italian sportswear brand founded in 1967 in Turin, Italy, and now spans the globe, and multiple sport disciplines. Kappa is a global sponsor of important football, rugby, basketball, volleyball, F1, rally, ski, sailing, golf, fencing and martial arts teams, as well as of many sports federations.

Giuseppe Visenzi established GIVI only 35 years ago. In the 1960's, as a talented rider, he distinguished himself in a series of motorcycle races crowned by the winning of the 350cc World Championship in 1969. After leaving the racing world, his passion for motorcycles, joined with his determination, led to his commitment to and realization of establishing the motorcycle accessories company GIVI, a company which in a very short time has become one of the most significant and competitive producers of motorcycle accessories both nationally and worldwide. The GIVI Monokey series is considered to be the premier range offers the versatility and functionality that enables this series of cases to be used either as a top trunk or saddlebag. The Monokey series with its heavy duty construction and elegant styling offers a wide variety of solutions to meet most styles of modern motorcycles and riding conditions.

Winter swimming is the activity of swimming during the winter season, typically in outdoor locations or in unheated pools or lidos. In colder countries it may be synonymous with ice swimming, when the water is frozen over. This requires either breaking the ice or entering where a spring prevents the formation of ice. It may also be simulated by a pool of water at 0 °C, the temperature at which water freezes. In Finland, Northern Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia the ice swimming tradition has been connected with the sauna tradition. Unlike dousing, it is not seen as an ascetic or religious ritual, but a way to cool off rapidly after staying in a sauna and as a stress relief. Ice swimming on its own is especially popular in Estonia and Finland.

The AR-15 modern day sporting rifle is a modular beast. Though more than 200 companies sell specific configurations, many shooters prefer to put their own rifle together from a variety of modular components. But the important thing to remember is the lower receiver is a registered part. When you buy an AR-15, the piece that makes it a firearm is the lower, which will have a serial number that is recorded on the 4473 that you fill out with your local FFL. Even though we aren't supposed to have a national gun registry, many are hesitant about telling Uncle Sam that they own a scary black rifle. The DIY lower is a way around this. Any hunk of aluminum, steel, or even polymer could be built into a lower -- I've mentioned 80% lower kits for AR-15 style rifles before -- if you had the technical know-how and the right tools. And if you do this yourself, without ANYONE'S assistance and without the intent of selling it, you are not required to tell anyone, fill out any forms, or register anything. That's the real appeal; make yourself an AR, and do it yourself, and no paperwork. Here's something I learned today. They make 80% lower kits for Glock handguns, too.

Ratlines are lengths of thin line tied between the shrouds of a sailing ship to form a ladder. Found on all square rigged ships, whose crews must go aloft to stow the square sails, they also appear on larger fore-and-aft rigged vessels to aid in repairs aloft or conduct a lookout from above. Rope ratlines are probably the oldest method of getting aloft, but they are also one of the best. They are inexpensive, easy to make, and secure to use.

So The Boss Lady left this morning on a three and half day trek up north to attend her grandmother's funeral. I, unable to get around very well let alone fly, am obviously staying home to man the fort solo during her absence. Normally such unexpected independence would be a cause for great joy. Such is not the case this time. Yesterday marked the ninth week since my accident, and as of this morning I have officially showered without assistance for the first time in as many weeks. Not a cause for celebration you might say? I can assure you it is extremely humbling when something so simple as washing yourself without having to depend upon someone else to get you in and out of the shower, seems like an accomplishment worthy of the tallest participation trophy. And so these next few days would normally be filled with copious amounts of wine, women, and song, they shall instead be filled with marathons of Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. Yes, yes, live vicariously through me, indeed.

The poblano is a mild chili pepper originating in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Stuffed fresh and roasted it is popular in chile rellenos poblanos. While poblanos tend to have a mild flavor, occasionally and unpredictably they can have significant heat. After being roasted and peeled (which improves the texture by removing the waxy skin), poblano peppers are preserved by either canning or freezing. Storing them in airtight containers keeps them for several months. When dried, the poblano becomes a broad, flat, heart-shaped pod; from this form, it is often ground into a powder used as flavoring in various dishes. Different peppers from the same plant have been reported to vary substantially in heat intensity. The ripened red poblano is significantly hotter and more flavorful than the less ripe, green poblano.

Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of fracking fluid -- primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents -- into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants (either sand or aluminium oxide) hold the fractures open. Increases in seismic activity following hydraulic fracturing along dormant or previously unknown faults are sometimes caused by the deep-injection disposal of hydraulic fracturing flowback. For these reasons, hydraulic fracturing is under international scrutiny, restricted in some countries, and banned altogether in others.

Whether you use your bike to commute, run errands or take longer trips, you'll need a way to carry essentials, from a small repair kit to full-on camping gear. A daypack or messenger bag is good for shorter trips, but some of your best gear-carrying options are racks, baskets and bags that fit on your bike. Most frame bags attach to the top tube of your bike and are sized to keep food, phones, tools and other essentials within easy reach. Larger frame bags for bikepacking and touring can hold hydration reservoirs. As some roads are quite rough, it also makes sense to distribute your load evenly on both sides of your bike, to maintain stability when turning.

Willis Carrier is credited with inventing modern air conditioning in 1902. In 1915 Carrier, along with six other engineers, pooled together $32,600 to form the Carrier Engineering Corporation. In 1920 they purchased their first plant in Newark, New Jersey. The corporation bearing his name succeeded in marketing its air conditioner to the residential market in the 1950s, which led to formerly sparsely populated areas such as the American Southwest becoming home to sprawling suburbs. As of 2012, Carrier was a $12.5 billion company with over 43,000 employees serving customers in 170 countries on six continents.

In 1973 third-generation Square-body Chevrolet C/K-Series pickups gained an all-new, high tensile strength carbon steel ladder type frame with "drop center" design. Braking controls included front self-adjusting disc brakes with rear finned drum brakes and optional four-wheel hydraulic Hydra-Boost or Vacuum-Boost power assist. For the 1975 model year, the 185 hp 400 cu in small-block V-8 was added to the line and there was a realignment of Chevy trim levels, along with new grilles and clear/white instead of orange front turn signals. For 1977 models, power windows and power door locks were introduced as an optional extra. For the 1980 model year, permanent four-wheel drive was discontinued on K-Series, leaving only conventional four-wheel drive. Some pickups gained a new grille, others did not; high-trim Chevys had both a new surround that incorporated near-flush square headlights and revised turn signals with a new, squarer grille pattern.

Color is a powerful tool, it can accentuate architectural details as well as direct traffic and create flow in your home. But how do you choose the color that's right for a given room? Paint swatches won't tell you everything you need to know. Instead, most interior decorators recommend you buy the manufacturer's test size in your new color and brush some on the wall, preferably where you can hide it picture later. Then look at your paint sample in the morning, at noon and at night so that you can see how the color changes as the light quality changes.

A fire alarm notification appliance is an active fire protection component. A notification appliance may use audible, visible, or other stimuli to alert the occupants of a fire or other emergency condition requiring action. Audible appliances have been in use longer than any other method of notification. Most of today's appliances produce sound pressure levels between 45 and 120 decibels at ten feet. In the United States, the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) triggered changes in evacuation signaling methods to include the hearing impaired. Audible notification appliances would now have to include strobe lights with higher brightness intensity to alert the hearing impaired.

Buttock cleavage is minor exposure of the buttocks and the intergluteal cleft between them, often because of low-slung or loose trousers. While the medical term is posterior rugae, the term "plumber's crack" refer to the exposure of male buttock cleavage, especially on occasions of careless bending over. First expressed in 1988. The terms "plumber's crack" is based on the popular impression that work in these professions frequently involves bending over in locations where bystanders are observing from the rear.

We Are All Sculptors And Painters, And Our Material Is Our Own Flesh And Blood And Bones. - Henry David Thoreau

Osteogenesis in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation. There are two processes resulting in the formation of normal, healthy bone tissue: Intramembranous ossification is the direct laying down of bone into the primitive connective tissue, while endochondral ossification involves cartilage as a precursor. In fracture healing, endochondral osteogenesis is the most commonly occurring process. And right now there is bone is growing in my pants in my ankle, thank goodness. Second surgery averted.

Black tie, sometimes known by its French name cravate noir, is a semi-formal dress code for evening events and social functions derived from British and American costume conventions of the 19th century. Black tie is less formal than white tie but more formal than informal or business dress. In the United States, the gentlemen's form of black tie attire is often referred to as a tuxedo. Traditionally, the only appropriate neck wear is the black bow tie that is a self-tie and should always match the lapel facing of the dinner jacket and braiding of the trouser seams.

A croissant is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie-pastry named for its well-known crescent shape. Croissants and other viennoiserie are made of a layered yeast-leavened dough. The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, in a technique called laminating. The process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry. In the late 1970s, the development of factory-made, frozen, pre-formed but unbaked dough made them into a fast food which can be freshly baked by unskilled labor. The croissanterie was explicitly a French response to American-style fast food, and today 30–40% of the croissants sold in French bakeries and patisseries are baked from frozen dough.

I'm going to preface this otherwise amazing story by dampening your expectations since the Olympian involved is a fucking badminton player. But by the same token, I understand why athletes take the opportunity to binge on junk food after they've competed. They have probably been eating shitty tasting health food and working so hard that they just need a break from exercise, prep, and nutrition. So this Olympian -- again, badminton player -- decided to let go with the Mother Of All McDonalds Binges.

Oh, and a bottle of water. Take a look for yourself and let me know if I missed anything.

Dubbed "Super Hugger", the second-generation Camaro was developed without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a greater budget justified by the success of the first generation, and was produced by Chevrolet from 1970 through the 1981 model years.. Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs. The rear was highlighted by four round taillights similar to the Corvette, and in 1978 these round taillights were replaced with a rectangular wraparound design. GM engineers have said the second generation is much more of "A Driver's Car" than its predecessor.

Whether you realize it or not, the bar rail you choose can make a big difference in the final look of your home bar. Whether you have been out to public bars or spent some time at home bars of friends or family members, you may have not even noticed the bar rail. Yet for the overall look and functionality of the bar, the rail is actually quite important to completing everything. As part of the bar molding you will be choosing, the bar rail is important for several reasons. For one thing, the rail is where your visitors will rest their arms while they are seated. Secondly, the rail is crucial to helping contain any spills you may have. Finally, this added touch is what makes a home bar look and feel like a real pub.

The M1A Standard model is the cornerstone of the M1A family. And with a regular MSRP of $1739 you know you're not buying some fly by night piece of shit. Springfield Armory has been building these workhorses since 1974 and they have been handed down for generations. This short video explains the difference between the standard and loaded models, and here is Hickok45 putting one through its paces. Right now Sportsmans Outdoor is selling the M1A Standard for $1,294 shipped; if I weren't sinking all of my spare cash into my fucking medical bills -- follow up appointment today to see if I need a second surgery -- I'd definitely pick one up. But I am, so I can't.

Today's easy challenge: Does anything hurt more than knowing that a gift you chose to give someone isn't what your recipient wanted? This can be particularly tough. So if you're looking or something special and not only unique but one of a kind, then you might want to think about giving a handmade gift instead of purchasing something from the store. So show me, fair reader, where can I buy some handmade jewelry?

Shit, I didn't realize it earlier but yes, that jumping blonde is the same girl and same location as this photo challenge back in March, which Cameron correctly located as being on the second floor here. So to make up for it, here is your extra hard challenge: In a time when bullying is rampant, Valerie Dodds concocted a unique plan to fight back against those who bullied her in high school by doing what she does best: posing nude. The 19-year-old porn star was cited in 2013 after officials at Pius X Catholic High School uncovered nude photos of the former student posing in front of the religious institution. I wonder if the owners of this golf course would react in the same fashion? See if you can figure out where.

Hail To The King Baby.

Elvis Aaron Presley is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King". Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, as a twinless twin, and when he was 13 years old, he and his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender. In 1958, he was drafted into military service. He resumed his recording career two years later, producing some of his most commercially successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours.

Thousands of Elvis Presley fans have made their annual pilgrimage to Graceland for a candlelight vigil marking the 39th anniversary of the singer's death in Memphis. Despite pouring rain, Presley fans from around the world are holding candles and walking slowly through the gravesite of the rock 'n' roll icon, who died on Aug. 16, 1977. Since his death, devotees have come to pay their respects at Presley's grave, which is located on the grounds of his former home-turned-museum. Here is the last photograph before his death, and a photo take after he was drafted into the Army in 1958, and as previously discussed, a picture of the inside of the Graceland gift shop.

While stationed in Germany, Presley met 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, and they would eventually marry after a seven-and-a-half-year courtship. In addition to his wife, Elvis loves many things including several guns he owned to peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches. And did you know Elvis loved animals, and kept a horses, a peacock, and a kangaroo? And he's not the only celeb to do so.

Some challenge virgins get the limelight today...

Okay, so despite the fact that today is the anniversary of Elvis' death, I still want each and every one of you to have a happy day, if you can show me where. Because if you can, I'll take you out for an ice cream sundae. If you can show me where.

Well it ain't 2006 anymore where one could pick up a spam can for $59, but four days ago the guys at Fed Arms got in a shipment of surplus 54R ammo.

It is not reloadable and as you might expect, uses corrosive Berdan primers. Still cheaper than new production!

According to tradition, the first paper was first made in 105 AD by Ts'ai Lun a servant of the Chinese emperor Ho Ti. The earliest record describes how he "made paper by pulping fishing nets and rags. By the early 1600's the Chinese had begun to use thick paper as a packaging material and so cardboard was born. Paper and cardboard manufacture slowly spread west to the middle east and reached Italy around 1255 while the first English paper mill was working by 1495, with the first paper factory in Kent up and running by the reign of Elizabeth l. The popularity of cardboard grew rapidly and cardboard cores quickly followed giving people the ability to wind a wide range of products and fabrics around a cardboard core. Cardboard tubes are now used as the basis of a storage system for everything from carpets, to paper.

Paul Orfalea, whose nickname was "Kinko" because of his curly hair, founded the company as Kinko's in 1970. Its first copy shop, which Orfalea opened with a sidewalk copy machine, was in the college community of Isla Vista next to the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. By 1997, he had established over 127 Kinko's partnerships. Orfalea left the company in 2000, following a dispute with the investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, to which he had sold a large stake in the company three years earlier. In February 2004, FedEx bought Kinko's for $2.4 billion, which then became known as FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers. Besides traditional full-service copy and print shop services, all stores also provide a number of self-service features: color and monochrome photocopiers, fax machines, digital photo printer kiosks, and several desktop computer rentals, of which one always has an image scanner and some design software installed.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan -- or simply Borat -- is a 2006 British-American mockumentary comedy film. The film was written and produced by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen who also plays the title character, Borat Sagdiyev, a fictitious Kazakh journalist travelling through the United States recording real-life interactions with Americans. The film was directed by Larry Charles and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Much of the film features unscripted vignettes of Borat interviewing and interacting with Americans, who believe he is a foreigner with little or no understanding of American customs. In Israel, a proposed poster depicting Borat in a sling bikini was rejected by the film's advertising firm in favour of one showing him in his usual suit.

Man, FMLA Paperwork Is A Gigantic Pain In The Cockbag.

Eric Lynn Wright, better known by his stage name Eazy-E, was a U.S. American rapper who performed solo and in the hip hop group NWA, and is affectionately called "The Godfather of Gangsta Rap". After dropping out of high school in the tenth grade, he supported himself primarily by selling drugs before founding Ruthless Records and becoming a rapper. N.W.A's original lineup consisted of Arabian Prince, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube, with DJ Yella and MC Ren joining later. On February 24, 1995, Wright was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with what he believed to be asthma due to a recurring cough and wincing that occurred beginning in July of 1994. Instead, he was diagnosed with AIDS. During the week of March 20, having already made amends with Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, he drafted a final message to his fans. On March 26, 1995, at approximately 6:35 p.m. PST, Eazy-E died from complications of AIDS, one month after his diagnosis.

Winner of the Nobel Prize for literature and acknowledged as one of the greatest writers of our time, Samuel Beckett has had a profound impact upon the literary landscape of the twentieth century. In this one-volume collection of his fiction, drama, poetry, and critical writings, we get an unsurpassed look at his work. Included, among others, are: The complete plays Waiting for Godot, Krapp's Last Tape, Cascando, Eh Joe, Not I, and That Time; Selections from his novels Murphy, Watt, Mercier and Camier, Molloy, and The Unnamable; The shorter works Dante and the Lobster, The Expelled, Imagination Dead Imagine, and Lessness; and a selection of Beckett's poetry and critical writings. With an indispensable introduction by editor and Beckett intimate Richard Seaver, and featuring a useful select bibliography, "I Can't Go On, I'll Go On" is indeed an invaluable introduction to a writer who has changed the face of modern literature.

For people looking for a quality yet not break-the-bank AR-15, I've recommended Windham Weaponry before. These good Maine folks - all former employees of Bushmaster Firearms - offer many years of experience in the industry, and all look forward to working with you, to serving your needs, and to building you a great rifle. Here's one that's never cleaned or lubricated prior to its first use, then frozen solid, filled with sand, covered with mud, and soaked in a pond. But ultimately cleaned. In an automatic dishwasher. Windham Weaponry's HBC model is their heavy barreled carbine -- a kissing cousin to their regular MPC model except for an even beefier barrel, and normally sells just shy of $1,100. Add in Windham's Lifetime Transferable Warranty, you know you're buying a solid piece of equipment, especially since you can pick one up for only $750 with free shipping for the next week.

According to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), Chapter III, Regulations 19.2.2. and 19.2.3, whenever new passengers embark, a passenger Safety Briefing shall be given immediately before sailing or immediately after sailing. Therefore, when the signal for the Safety Briefing blares out, guests will no longer be required to go to their stateroom to collect their lifejackets. They will proceed directly to their assigned muster station from their location at that time. During the Safety Briefing, the Evacuation Personnel will be visible to all guests and demonstrate how to wear a lifejacket. This procedure will improve the guest's experience and prevent unnecessary accidents due to hanging strings from the lifejackets as well as heat exhaustion at the muster stations during summer-type weather.

Today's FRIDAY FLICK: Beneath Hill 60 is a 2010 Australian war film -- here's the trailer to see if it's your thing -- directed by Jeremy Sims and written by David Roach. Set during World War I, the film tells the story of the 1st Australian Tunnelling Company's efforts in mining underneath Hill 60 in the Ypres Salient on the Western Front. During the war, a series of mines filled with explosive charges were placed beneath German lines to aid the advance of British troops. The screenplay is based on an account of the ordeal written by Captain Oliver Woodward, who is portrayed by Brendan Cowell in the film. Beneath Hill 60 was released in Australia on 15 April 2010.

The 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 -- commonly called the Dreaded Eighty-Eight -- was a German 88 mm anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun from World War II. It was widely used by Germany throughout the war, and was one of the most recognized German weapons of that conflict. The versatile carriage allowed the eighty-eight to be fired in a limited anti-tank mode when still on its wheels; it could be completely emplaced in only two-and-a-half minutes. Several surviving examples are owned by civilians and for a paltry 70,000 to 130,000 Euros -- that's $78k-$145k Freedom Bucks to you and me -- you can join their elite ranks. Oh, plus your $200 NFA tax stamp, of course. And good luck trying to find ammunition for that big son of a bitch, although this particular one comes with four empty casings which I presume can be reloaded.

NOT SAFE FOR LUNCH: An elbow hyperextension injury occurs when a force or pressure forces your elbow past its normal position and bends it backwards. The hyperextension may occur during sports, such as football, gymnastics, basketball, rugby, soccer, or martial arts; during a fall with an outstretched arm; or otherwise direct blow that forces the elbow backwards, such as during a car accident. The hyperextension places a sudden and forceful stress on the tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles. If the force of the hyperextension is stronger than the structure, it may cause inflammation and/or stretching or tearing. Elbow dislocation is also frequently the result of an elbow hyperextension injury, and may occasionally be accompanied by an olecranon fracture, as was the case for Armenian weightlifter Andranik Karapetyan.

Melanie is a feminine given name derived from the Greek "melania", meaning "blackness" or "dark". Borne in its Latin form by two saints: Melania the Elder and her granddaughter Melania the Younger, the name was introduced to England by the Normans in its French form Melanie. However the name only became common in English usage in the 1930s due to the popularity of Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and its 1939 film adaptation, as one of the novel's main characters was named Melanie Hamilton. The name's popularity increased until the 1970s since remaining constant. Melanie was the 80th most popular name for girls born in the United States in 2007 and, as Mélanie, it was the 86th most popular name for girls born in France in 2004.

Over seventy five years ago Englishman David Squire, Head Groundsman and gardener at the Police Orphanage in Twickenham, was made redundant. With a young family to support he set up his own business. When DJ Squires Limited Company was founded in 1935 -- although some suggest it was 1936 -- their main activities were landscaping small domestic gardens. During the 1960?s people became ever more interested in gardening for themselves rather than employing a gardener. Now that business has grown into a thriving, family-owned garden center group which now comprises 15 garden centers, and rose, herbaceous and bedding plant nurseries.

The natural mineral water aquifer of Serra do Buçaco, has two extraction sites – one in Luso and another in Caldas de Penacova. It is composed of very poorly soluble quartzite rocks, giving the water a low mineral content. The Company Águas das Caldas de Penacova was formed in 1991 with the aim of exploiting the aquifer in Serra do Buçaco, having determined the aquifer depth with deep soundings, and then having requested that the water be classified as “Natural Mineral Water” and having been awarded a concession to exploit the resource with the signing of the concession agreement on June 2nd 1997. Within 2 years of signing the concession contract, the bottling plant was planned, licences were obtained from the various entities involved, and the factory was built and equipment installed, with production starting in April 1999. To ensure the best operating conditions and product quality, there is a laboratory controlling microbiological parameters from the beginning of the process where the PET packaging is produced within the factory to the final bottled Caldas de Penacova product.

I Think That $400 Million Was A Coincidence In The Same Way That Tarmac Meeting Was.

Wide availability of ice cream in the late 19th century led to new creations. In 1874, the American soda fountain shop and the profession of the "soda jerk" emerged with the invention of the ice cream soda. In response to religious criticism for eating "sinfully" rich ice cream sodas on Sundays, ice cream merchants left out the carbonated water and invented the ice cream "Sunday" in the late 1890's. The name was eventually changed to "sundae" to remove any connection with the Sabbath. Ice cream became an edible morale symbol during World War II. Each branch of the military tried to outdo the others in serving ice cream to its troops. In 1945, the first "floating ice cream parlor" was built for sailors in the western Pacific. When the war ended with the surrender of Japan, and dairy product rationing was lifted, America celebrated its victory with ice cream.

Waterproof cameras are great for shooting in or near water during sports.

The McIntosh Red has red and green skin, a tart flavour, and tender white flesh, which ripens in late September. In the 20th century it was the most popular cultivar in Eastern Canada and New England, and is considered an all-purpose apple, suitable both for cooking and eating raw. John McIntosh discovered the original McIntosh sapling on his Dundela farm in Upper Canada in 1811. He and his wife bred it, and the family started grafting the tree and selling the fruit in 1835. In 1870, it entered commercial production, and became common in northeastern North America after 1900. According to the US Apple Association website, the McIntosh Red is one of the fifteen most popular apple cultivars in the United States.

Maxwell House is a brand of coffee manufactured by a like-named division of Kraft Foods. Introduced in 1892 by wholesale grocer Joel Owsley Cheek, it was named in honor of the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1972, the company had introduced "Max-Pax" ground coffee filter rings, aimed at the then still-strong market for drip coffee preparation. Although this method, too, has been eclipsed, the Max-Pax concept was subsequently adapted as Maxwell House Filter Packs, first so called in 1989, for use in automatic coffee makers.

On June 16, 1884, the first roller coaster in America opens at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York. Known as a switchback railway, it was the brainchild of LaMarcus Thompson, traveled approximately six miles per hour and cost a nickel to ride. The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country. This early world of American roller coasters was an interesting and ever-changing place, much like the atmosphere today. However, many of these designers and businessmen risked much more.

Hmmm, if you were able to find the location of that bridge built in 1914, then perhaps we can go a step further back in time, all the way to 1908, eh?

Dental braces are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws. Changes in the shape of the face, jaw and cheekbones may also occur as a result of wearing braces. Some patients may wish to discuss these potential changes before starting treatment.

Niska Say: One Side Healing And Is Good. Other Side, Not So Good.

With summer underway, it's not just time to think about vacations and baseball. The arrival of the summer days means the arrival of summer heat, and that's not a topic you should regard lightly. It's not just a matter of your comfort. It's also about your health. Most US homes these days have one or more air conditioners. But, sometimes it is just not practical for to have one discreet AC for each room. This is where compact ACs come into play, especially because they offer mobility. So, you can just take it to any room you want and experience truly portable cooling. Apart from that, it's also much more cost-effective to purchase one or two portable AC units, rather than buying multiple bulky non-mobile ones.

Recreational boats operating at night are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise. Navigation lights are used to prevent collisions at night or in times of reduced visibility, and are an essential tool in keeping you and your vessel safe. Nav lights allow you to see other nearby vessels, and allow other vessels to see you. By understanding the characteristics of Nav lights, you can determine an appropriate course of action as you approach another vessel. Red and green lights are called sidelights because they are visible to another vessel approaching from the side or head-on. The red light indicates a vessel's port (left) side; the green light indicates a vessel's starboard (right) side.

Attention booze hounds, I have two challenged for you today. First I am looking to see if anyone can identify this one liter bottle. The label looks green on the bottom and silver on top, at least to me. And secondly -- and this one will take either skill or luck -- see if you can identify what she's drinking using just the label on the neck of the bottle.

Just Do It is a trademark of shoe company Nike, and one of the core components of Nike's brand. The slogan was coined in 1988 at an advertising agency meeting. The founder of Wieden+Kennedy agency, Dan Wieden credits the inspiration for his "Just Do It" Nike slogan to Gary Gilmore's last words. The "Just Do It" campaign allowed Nike to further increase its share of the North American domestic sport-shoe business from 18% to 43%, (from $877 million to $9.2 billion in worldwide sales) from 1988 to 1998. In many Nike-related situations, "Just Do It" appears alongside the Nike logo, known as the Swoosh.

Many two-story homes have angled walls and slanted ceilings that are inherent in rooms beneath the peaked roofline. While slanted walls can create a snug and cozy feel, the negative effects can include a choppy visual plane and difficulty placing furniture and art. Because the 'ceilings' come down so far into the room, painting them white gives the impression that the ceiling is lower than it actually is.

Soft serve is a type of ice cream that is softer than regular ice creams as a result of air being introduced during freezing. It was invented over Memorial Day weekend of 1934, Tom Carvel, the founder of the Carvel brand and franchise, suffered a flat tire in his ice cream truck in Hartsdale, New York. He pulled into a parking lot and began selling his melting ice cream to vacationers driving by. Within two days he had sold his entire supply of ice cream and concluded that both a fixed location and soft frozen desserts were potentially good business ideas. In 1936, Carvel opened his first store on the original broken down truck site and developed a secret soft serve ice cream formula as well as patented super low temperature ice cream machines.
