And I Used To Really Like May, Too.From the invigorating Morning Burst collection comes Morning Burst Facial Cleanser; a foaming cleanser uniquely formulated with bursting beads that burst with energy and vitamins, and an invigorating citrus fragrance to help wake you up. This gentle cleanser, with vitamin c and ginseng, helps nourish skin while removing the dirt, oil and impurities that build up overnight. The Glad brand originated in the United States in 1963 when the owner and CEO of the company, David Darroch, launched "Glad Wrap", a polyethylene film used as a food wrap. Douglas G. Taylor was transferred that same year from the Union Carbide facility in Pittsburgh, Pa. to spearhead the Glad project. Mr. Taylor headed Sales and Marketing for the Glad products until he was retired from Union Carbide in 1985 after putting together the sale to FirstBrands. In 1998, First Brands was acquired by Clorox. In 2002, Clorox allowed Procter & Gamble to buy a 10% share in Glad Products Company, thus making it a joint venture. Glad trash bags' slogans were "Why Take Chances, Get Glad!" and "Don't get mad! Get Glad!" ATTENTION CAR GUYS: first I need you to identify the make and model of the car that's just been washed, and secondly I'd like to add some bling to my ride with this chrome fuel door cover, so please tell me how much I should budget for. Thank you in advance. Many parasail canopies that are designed for commercial use offering rides to tourists on vacation are bright in color and have designs ranging from flags, logos, smiley faces, and multiple color patterns. In recent years, operators have moved from small parachutes to large parachutes that utilize high-lift, low-drag designs enabling operators to fly higher payloads in lower winds. Most operators now offer double and triple flights using an adjustable side by side bar arrangement. The side by side bar is aluminum attached to the yoke of the chute, allowing two or three passenger harnesses to be attached side-by-side.
ATTENTION WORLD TRAVELERS: can you tell me if I'm losing my fucking mind or not? I've had this public fountain on my challenge to-do list for quite some time now, but for some reason the white building with the red awnings over the windows looks uncomfortably familiar. Is that because it's been sitting in my queue for a while and I just recall seeing it before -- in which case find said fountain -- or have I posted this photo before? Usually I'm pretty spot on about these things but with the one I'm drawing a fucking blank. An exhaust hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, odors, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration. In commercial kitchens exhaust hoods are often used in combination with fire suppression devices so that fumes from a grease fire are properly vented and the fire is put out quickly. Commercial vent hoods may also be combined with a fresh air fan that draws in exterior air, circulating it with the cooking fumes, which is then drawn out by the hood. In most exhaust hoods, a filtration system removes grease and other particles. Although many vent hoods exhaust air to the outside, some recirculate the air back to the kitchen. In a recirculating system, filters may be used to remove odors in addition to the grease.

I Hope You Had A Meaningful Memorial Day Weekend.In 2014, a series of protests, political demonstrations, and civil insurrection began in Venezuela due to the country's high levels of urban violence, inflation, and chronic shortages of basic goods attributed to economic policies such as strict price controls. The majority of protests have been peaceful, consisting of demonstrations, sit-ins, and hunger strikes, though small groups of protestors have been responsible for attacks on public property, such as government buildings and public transportation. Nicolas Maduro's government characterized the protests as an undemocratic coup d'etat attempt orchestrated by "fascist" opposition leaders and the United States; blaming capitalism and speculation for causing high inflation rates and goods scarcities as part of an "economic war" being waged on his government. Other controversies reported during the protests include media censorship and violence by pro-government militant groups known as colectivos. Christopher McCandless was an American hiker and itinerant traveler, who after graduating from college in 1990, traveled the United States and eventually hitchhiked to Alaska in April 1992. There, he set out along an old mining road known as the Stampede Trail, with minimal supplies, hoping to live simply off the land. Almost four months later, McCandless' decomposing body, weighing only 66 lb, was found by hunters in a converted bus used as a backcountry shelter along the Stampede Trail. His cause of death was officially ruled to be starvation, although the exact cause remains the subject of some debate. Prior to his untimely demise, McCandless once said, "So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit." This kid seems anxious to get some change. Can you show me where he is? The X-Files is an American science fiction drama television series created by Chris Carter, which originally aired from 1993 to 2002 on Fox. The program spanned nine seasons, included 202 episodes, and a feature film of the same name. Later in 2008, a second film was made and preceded a tenth season revival, which consisted of six episodes, in 2016. The revival premiered on January 24, 2016. In April 2017, Fox officially announced that The X-Files would be returning for an eleventh season of ten episodes, which would air in the 2017–18 television season. On July 16, 2008, Carter and Spotnitz donated several props from the series and new film to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Some of the items included the original pilot script and the "I Want to Believe" poster from Mulder's office.
A very underrated show that I really used to enjoy is The Finder; which ran on Fox from January 2012 to May 2012. It is a spin-off of another Fox television series, Bones, and loosely based on The Locator series of two books by Richard Greener. It starred Geoff Stults as (retired) Major Walter Sherman who suffered a traumatic brain injury in the Iraq War due leaving him paranoid, suspicious and quirky, but it also somehow resulted in him now being able to find anything, seeing patterns where others wouldn't. It also served as the final television performance of Michael Clarke Duncan, who died of complications due to a heart attack on September 3, 2012. Perhaps you can honor MCD by following in Walter's footsteps and first find this green kayak, and then if you manage that, find this graffiti covered van. Students at colleges and universities across the nation and even across the world have been celebrating Earth Day yearly since its inception in 1970. Many colleges and universities host an array of events throughout “Earth Week” and even “Earth Month,” rallying students from all corners of campus to take action and learn about the third planet from the sun. Campus Earth Day celebrations are gaining popularity as colleges and universities continue to increase not only “behind-the-scenes” sustainability measures such as improving the energy efficiency of buildings, but also to promote environmentally responsible habits through energy and water waste reduction competitions to protect the Earth and our resources. myfreecams.com is the coolest webcam site on the web. definitely NSFW. |

Well Shit, They All Can't Be Home Runs.I can't stop thinking about the Montana bodyslamming incident. And what really warms my fucking heart about it -- and this is not to make any excuses for the guy who did it -- if it costs him his seat or his freedom, then it costs him his seat or his freedom. It's watching a kid poke a dog with a stick and eventually the dog turns around and bites the shit out of the kid. Even though you know you've got to punish the dog, you just can't help part of you from looking at the kid and smiling, "Well you deserved that, you little asshole." So if nothing else, I'm hopeful this Guardian reporter will think twice before acting like a fucking dickhead again. The sun is responsible for the vast majority of visible ageing, according to new research – another reason to slather on the sun screen all year round. UV rays accounted for 80 per cent of skin ageing, including wrinkles, in a study of almost 300 women – half sun-worshippers and half shy of the sun. The study also found that a two per cent increase in skin damage ages a face by three years. When you look at a normal 120-volt outlet in the United States, there are two vertical slots and then a round hole centered below them. The left slot is slightly larger than the right. The left slot is called "neutral," the right slot is called "hot" and the hole below them is called "ground." If an appliance is working properly, all electricity that the appliance uses will flow from hot to neutral. A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) monitors the amount of current flowing from hot to neutral. If there is any imbalance, it trips the circuit. It is able to sense a mismatch as small as 4 or 5 milliamps, and it can react as quickly as one-thirtieth of a second. The Second Confederate Navy Jack was a rectangular cousin of the Confederate Army's battle flag and was in use from 1863 until 1865. It existed in a variety of dimensions and sizes, despite the CSN's detailed naval regulations. The blue color of the diagonal saltire's "Southern Cross" was much lighter than the dark blue of the battle flag. The second national flag was later adapted as a naval ensign, using a shorter 2:3 ratio than the 1:2 ratio adopted by the Confederate Congress for the national flag. This particular battle ensign was the only example taken around the world, finally becoming the last Confederate flag lowered in the Civil War; this happened aboard CSS Shenandoah in Liverpool, England on November 7, 1865.
I thought board game because to me it looks like Monopoly on top of Space Max. But I suppose it's just as likely that red and white belongs to some sort of manufacturer's sticker. but that certainly would explain why I couldn't find any info on a Space Max game. So to make up for it, I have not one but TWO challenges for you today, EACH of them from opposite coasts, and BOTH of them are rather difficult. You'll need to use both your Google Fu and your imagination to complete these names and tell me what newspaper was established in 1876 and (even harder) the name of this Washington based boat. The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a five-diamond luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel. Designed by KlingStubbins, the hotel tower contains 36 stories and rises 475 feet (145 m). The Venetian is owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands. The Venetian also serves as the seat of the corporate headquarters for its parent company. The resort opened on May 3, 1999, with flutter of white doves, sounding trumpets and singing gondoliers, with actress Sophia Loren joining The Venetian Chairman and Owner, Sheldon G. Adelson, in dedicating the first motorized gondola. Built at a cost of $1.5 billion, it was one of the most expensive resorts of its kind when it opened.
David Khari Webber Chappelle is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and producer. His first lead role was in the 1998 comedy film Half Baked, which he co-wrote with Neal Brennan. Chappelle also starred in the ABC TV series Buddies. In 2003, Chappelle became more widely known for his sketch comedy television series, Chappelle's Show, also co-written with Brennan, which ran until his retirement from the show two years later. The show continues to run in late-night syndication and on television networks around the world. Chappelle lives with his family in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and continues to perform stand-up comedy; for this week's FRIDAY FLICK, here is Dave Chappelle Live at Austin City Limits.

When All Else Fails, Just Play Dumb And Let Someone Else Fill In The Blanks.Harley Quinn is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, and first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series in September 1992. In September 2013, DC Comics announced a contest for fans and artists, "Break into comics with Harley Quinn!", in which contestants were to draw Harley in four different suicide scenarios. This contest drew controversy not only because it was announced close to National Suicide Prevention Week, but because some artists did not like the sexualized portrayal of Harley in the fourth scenario, in which Harley attempts suicide while naked in her bath tub. McBain is a fictional action movie hero played by the actor Rainier Wolfcastle in the McBain movies. His name is a play on the character John McClane of the Die Hard series, and his appearance and personality is inspired by Bruce Willis (sarcasm) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (towering height, extremely strong, limited emotional range and thick Austrian accent). McBain movies feature numerous action movie clichés, such as a policeman being gunned down just before retirement, guns that never run out ammunition, considerable (and often unnecessary) property damage, and cheesy one-liners. So here's a challenge I'm a little fucking embarassed to be issuing, but I simply can't find any fucking information on this Space Max game. At first I thought it was a follow up to Family Pastimes' Max, but that doesn't appear to be the case. So what the fuck can you tell me about it?
A pool noodle is a cylindrical piece of polyethylene foam, used by people of all ages while swimming. The most common dimensions are about 60 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter. Pool noodles are useful when learning to swim, for floating, for rescue reaching, in various forms of water play, and for aquatic exercise. People have used pool noodles as cheaper versions of the industrial pipe insulation inside buildings at a substantial cost savings, as the industrial version is about twice to four times as expensive. GTE Corporation, formerly General Telephone & Electric Corporation, was the largest independent telephone company in the United States during the days of the Bell System. GTE provided local telephone service to a large number of areas of the U.S. through operating companies, much as American Telephone & Telegraph provided local telephone service through its 22 Bell Operating Companies. The company operated from 1926, with roots tracing further back than that, until 2000, when GTE merged with Bell Atlantic; the combined company took the name Verizon.
Tasking you to find this night time view of the Palazzo wouldn't be a challenge at all, especially since we just had one that involved the Wynn and Treasture Island a week ago. So instead another Las vegas based challenge: find and identify this art display. Lysol is a brand name of cleaning and disinfecting products distributed by Reckitt Benckiser. The line includes solutions for hard and soft surfaces, air treatment, and hand washing. The active ingredient in many of the Lysol products is benzalkonium chloride. In the late 1920s Lysol disinfectant began being marketed by maker Lysol, Incorporated and distributor Lehn & Fink, Inc. as a feminine hygiene product. It was claimed vaginal douching with a diluted Lysol solution prevented infections and vaginal odor, and thereby preserved youth and marital bliss. This Lysol solution was also used as a birth control agent, as post-coital douching was a popular method of preventing pregnancy at that time. |

For Someone Who Hates America, Ariana Grande Seems To Have No Problem Hauling Her Ragged Ass Back Here To Safety.A loading dock or loading bay is an area of a building where goods vehicles are loaded and unloaded. They are commonly found on commercial and industrial buildings, and warehouses in particular. Loading docks may be exterior, flush with the building envelope, or fully enclosed. They are part of a facility's service or utility infrastructure, typically providing direct access to staging areas, storage rooms, and freight elevators. In different parts of the world, a section of a public or private road may be allocated for loading goods or persons, at specific or at all times. There are parking signs and/or road markings to warn motorists of parking regulations. These areas are known as loading zones or loading bays in many jurisdictions. They are generally monitored by parking inspectors, and vehicles found to be violating the rules can be towed or fined. Most modern shopping carts are made of metal or a combination of metal and plastic and have been designed to nest within each other in a line to facilitate collecting and moving many at one time and also to save on storage space. The carts can come in many sizes, with larger ones able to carry a child. There are also specialized carts designed for two children, and electric mobility scooters with baskets designed for disabled customers. Shopping carts are usually fitted with four wheels, however if any one wheel jams the cart can become difficult to handle. Most carts in the United States have swivel wheels at the front, while the rear wheels are fixed in orientation, while in Europe it is more common to have four swivel wheels. This difference in design correlates with smaller retail premises in Europe, versus large bulk retailers such as Costco, here in the United States. The numeric system represented by Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. Numbers in this system are represented by combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. Roman numerals, as used today, are based on seven different symbols: I/1, V/5, X/10, L/50, C/100, D/500, M/1000.
Well, you heard the man. What make and model car is she going to test drive? A high speed wobbly ceiling fan will strike fear in the heart of anyone standing under it or even near it. An unbalanced fan could also end up with damage to the motor's bearing and bushings. This could lead to an irritating unnecessary fan noise. Make sure your new blades are made by the same manufacturer as your ceiling fan. It is best for all ceiling fan blades to be at the same height from the ceiling. A single uneven blade could lead to an unbalanced fan. This could eventually cause damage to your fan. Don't forget, anytime you work on ceiling fans be sure to turn the fan's power off at the breaker.
Well, you heard the man. Where am I sending the windshield repair people to? An oar is an implement used for water-borne propulsion. The difference between oars and paddles are that paddles are held by the paddler, and are not connected with the vessel. Oars generally are connected to the vessel by means of rowlocks or tholes which transmit the applied force to the boat. Rowers generally face the stern of the vessel, reach towards the stern, and insert the blade of their oar in the water. As they lean back, towards the vessel's bow, the blade of their oars sweeps the water towards the stern, providing forward thrust. Oars have traditionally been made of wood. The form is a long shaft with a flat blade on the end. Where the oar connects to the boat there is a "collar" which stops the oar slipping past the rowlock. |

Shit I Have To Track Down More Tasteless Stories.The Folsom Street Fair is an annual BDSM and leather subculture street fair held in September, that caps San Francisco's "Leather Pride Week". Sometimes simply referred to as "Folsom", takes place on Folsom Street between 8th and 13th Streets, in San Francisco's South of Market district. It has grown as a non-profit charity, and local and national non-profits benefit with all donations at the gates going to charity groups as well as numerous fundraising schemes within the festival including games, beverage booths and even spanking for donations to capitalize on the adult-themed exhibitionism. The event started in 1984 and is California's third-largest single-day, outdoor spectator event and the world's largest leather event and showcase for BDSM products and culture. The BABIES Act, or Bathrooms Accessible In Every Situation Act, is a United States federal law that was passed by the United States Congress in September 2016 and signed into law by US President Barack Obama on October 7, 2016. The law requires changing tables in all publicly accessible, federal buildings. In particular, the law received attention for requiring such baby-changing stations must be available in both male and female restrooms, ending the practice of providing changing tables only in women's restrooms. Beer pong is a drinking game in which players throw a ping pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in a cup of beer on the other end. The game typically consists of opposing teams of two or more players per side with 6 or 10 cups set up in a triangle formation on each side. Each team then takes turns attempting to shoot ping pong balls into the opponent's cups. If a ball lands in a cup, the contents of that cup are consumed by the other team and the cup is removed from the table. The most common cups used are disposable plastic cups with ridge-lines which can be used precisely to measure the amount of beer to be poured into the cup. The first team to eliminate all of the opponent's cups is the winner. Frosted glass is produced by the sandblasting or acid etching of clear sheet glass. It has the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering of light during transmission, thus blurring images while still transmitting light. Its applications include: Decorative patterns may be imposed upon otherwise plain glass by using wax or other inhibitors to retain transparent areas; Frosted glass in light bulbs is used for evenly distributing the light from the bulb's filament across its surface area; To distribute light uniformly in a photographic contact printer; and to obtain visual privacy while admitting light. A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of epic fantasy novels by the American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. He began the first volume of the series, A Game of Thrones, in 1991 and had it published in 1996. Martin, who initially envisioned the series as a trilogy, has published five out of a planned seven volumes. The fifth and most recent volume of the series published in 2011, A Dance with Dragons, took Martin five years to write. He is still writing the sixth novel, The Winds of Winter. |

I Want To Get To Key West And Away From It All. - Ernest HemingwayHave you ever wondered why wind turbines have three narrow blades, but ceiling and box fans have five wide blades? The differences between wind turbine and ceiling fan blades arise from the contrasting design criteria: the wind turbine is intended to capture high-velocity wind to generate electricity efficiently; the ceiling fan needs to move air at low velocity with inexpensive components. To keep drivetrain costs low, a wind turbine must capture the energy in fast-moving air and rotate at relatively high speed—within limits, so as to avoid excessive noise generation. The box fan, on the other hand, is built to keep the occupants of a room comfortable by moving air gently. Its engineers work to minimize noise while the multiple fan blades rotate at low speed and to keep the construction costs, and therefore the purchase price, low. In early 2013, Converse launched the Chuck Taylor All Star '70, which featured a build similar to the All Stars used for basketball that were built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This retro model was different from the then-current Chuck Taylor All Stars due to various changes that happened to the All Star shoes over the intervening three decades. The '70 model featured thicker canvas, a higher rubber midsole and foxing, thicker cushioning, a smaller toe cap, extra material that was stitched on the side wall behind the toe cap for reinforcement, a one-piece rubber bottom sole versus the three piece sole on the modern All Stars, and a black heel patch versus a white one on the modern All Star. Mineral oil is a common ingredient in baby lotions, cold creams, ointments and cosmetics. It is a lightweight inexpensive oil that is odorless and tasteless. It can be used on eyelashes to prevent brittleness and breaking and, in cold cream, is also used to remove creme make-up and temporary tattoos. The type of highly refined and purified mineral oil found in cosmetic and skincare products is noncomedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Today's challenges are quick and dirty. Well one may not be a challenge, I dunno, it depends upon on whether or not this poster is of a famous work of art; if it is, identify it please. And secondly, you guys all know I love trains, so I'd like to know if this bridge is for trains or regular vehicles?
In stark contrast to the Italians and Germans, 95% of Spaniards prefer to drink still mineral water. The origins of this cultural difference are difficult to find but there is no doubt that Spaniards take their mineral waters very seriously indeed. Eminating from protected natural parks, Font Vella remains intact and preserves all its purity from the spring to the bottle. Its unique composition makes Font Vella an ideal water for all the family Delivery air freshener mechanisms falls into two broad categories: continuous action and instant action. Continuous action products include scented candles and devices which use a candle flame or some other heat source to heat and vaporize a fragrance formulation, incense burners, wall plug-ins which either use piezoelectric technology to aerosolize fragrance or heat to vaporize it, fragrance impregnated gels which release fragrance as the gel evaporates sometimes with the help of an electric fan, wick and reed diffusers which release fragrance by evaporation from fragrance-soaked wicks or wooden reeds; and fragrance impregnated materials like floor wax, paper, plastics, wood which release fragrance by off gassing; and lastly nebulization systems which convert liquid fragrances into a vapor in a cold process without the use of heat. |

Cadillacs, Cats, and Soviet Sumbmarines and Shit.So I just read that Pippa Middelton is getting married this weekend, and anytime anyone mentions her name all I can think of is this scene from Heat. Some where in the mid 80s Rodney Dalhberg perfected the thruster surfboard , he took the crudeness that Simon came up with and made it clean balanced and beautifully proportioned and it worked perfectly. It seems nearly all of my generation got one, for a large number of them that was it, they had found what they were looking for the perfect partner she was clean, she was white, she had impeccable manners in nearly all surf situations, and she was boring. This same group were the life of the party in the late 70s and early 80s riding,twin fins, lazors zaps, with crazy colors, Echobeach boardshorts with polkadots the lot. Then they got a Dahlberg and all that stopped, they found something they could settle down with and not have to worry about surfboards ever again because Dahlberg had seen to that. Established in Spain in 1962, Lois was the first European jeans brand to conquer the world. They made a great start in the sixties but it wasn't until the seventies that they truly flourished. Lois was worn by influential fashion icons and musicians and soon they were all over the dance floor. In contrast to other great jeans brands of that time, Lois focussed on a fashionable and sexy pair of jeans. Soon, young people all over the world recognised they were their perfect fit. And although Lois has been around for quite some time now, they never grew old.
Whether they're too stiff or too loose or just too worn and outdated, interior doorknobs are something you can easily replace yourself. With a few basic tools and steps, you can start removing the screws, replacing the plates, and adjusting the openings to fit your new doorknob. For doorknobs with exposed screws, undo the screws and both knobs will come off. Unscrew the latch plate and remove the latch assembly. One knob will have a spindle attached to it. Thread the spindle through the door and latch assembly so it pokes out the other side. Slide the base of the second knob onto the end of the spindle. Fasten with the screws. Houseplants have been going in and out of vogue ever since the early Greeks and Romans starting bringing their plants in from the outdoors. The Victorians loved their potted palms and the 70s wouldn't have been the same without ferns and spider plants everywhere. Current style dictates a lighter hand with the green things, but the truth is the benefits houseplants confer should make us consider them a necessity rather than an object of decor. And these two potted plants are going to die unless someone waters them, so show me where I'm bringing my watering can to. An electronic keyboard or digital keyboard is an electronic musical instrument, an electronic or digital derivative of keyboard instruments. Electronic keyboards are capable of recreating a wide range of instrument sounds with less complex sound synthesis. Electronic keyboards are usually dedicated for home users, beginners and other non-professional users. They typically have unweighted keys. The least expensive models do not have velocity-sensitive keys; but mid- to high-priced models do have these feature. Home keyboards typically have little if any sound editing capacity. The user typically selects from a range of preset "voices" or sounds, which include imitations of many instruments and some electronic synthesizer sounds.

Wow, This Week Is Being Exceptionally Hard On 90s Icons.The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy is a children's novel by Jeanne Birdsall, published by Knopf in 2005. It won the annual U.S. National Book Award for Young People's Literature. This was Birdsall's first book published and it inaugurated the "Penderwick sisters" series, whose fourth volume was published in 2015. Both A Summer Tale and its sequel The Penderwicks on Gardam Street were New York Times Best Sellers. Suet is the raw, hard fat of beef or mutton found around the loins and kidneys. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for deep frying and pastry production. The primary use of suet is to make tallow, although it is also used as an ingredient in cooking, especially in traditional puddings, such as British Christmas pudding. Suet is made into tallow in a process called rendering, which involves melting and extended simmering, followed by straining, cooling and usually by repeating the entire process. Unlike tallow, suet that is not pre-packed requires refrigeration in order to be stored for extended periods. Palmistry is the claim of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palm reading or chirology. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called palmists, palm readers, hand readers, hand analysts, or chirologists. There are many—often conflicting—interpretations of various lines and palmar features across various schools of palmistry. These contradictions between different interpretations, as well as the lack of empirical support for palmistry's predictions, contribute to palmistry's perception as a pseudoscience among academics.
QUICK NO TIME TO EXPLAIN JUST: find this crosswalk. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers. Trawls are fishing nets that are pulled along the bottom of the sea or in midwater at a specified depth. Side trawlers have the trawl deployed over the side with the trawl warps passing through blocks suspended from a forward gallow and another aft gallow. Usually the superstructure is towards the stern, the fish hold amidships, and the transversal trawl winch forward of the superstructure. A derrick may be a boom rigged to the foremast to help shoot the codend from the side. Until the late sixties, side trawlers were the most common deep sea boat used in North Atlantic fisheries.
QUICK NO TIME TO EXPLAIN JUST: identify this brand of bottled water. The Cleveland Show is an American teenager animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Richard Appel, and Mike Henry for the Fox Broadcasting Company as a spin-off of Family Guy. The series centers on the Browns and Tubbs, two dysfunctional families consisting of parents Cleveland Brown and Donna Tubbs and their children Cleveland Brown, Jr., Roberta Tubbs, and Rallo Tubbs. Similar to Family Guy, it exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. The series was conceived by MacFarlane in 2007 after developing the two animated series Family Guy and American Dad! for the Fox Network. MacFarlane centered the show on Family Guy character Cleveland Brown, his new wife Donna Tubbs, his step-children Rallo and Roberta Tubbs, and his son Cleveland, Jr., who, in the show, is depicted as an obese, soft-spoken teen, as opposed to his depiction as a younger, hyperactive child with average body weight on Family Guy. |

Some Concrete Cutting, Some Skim Coating, A Few Screws and They're Fucking Out Of Here.The hibiscus is the national flower of Haiti and is used in their national tourism slogan of Haďti: Experience It! The hibiscus species also represents several other nations. The Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form. The red hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship. Just like any structure, hotels are at risk for fires—but there are specific aspects that make their fire prevention systems and plans more complex. First, hotels have a high occupancy load due to the many rooms and numerous guests that could spend any given night. In addition, unlike office spaces or apartment complexes, guests are unfamiliar with the building and viable escape routes. Many hotels also have restaurants—kitchens add a great risk of fire due to open flames, flammable grease traps, and storage of flammable materials. Local standards will differ, but an ABC fire extinguisher is the most versatile and common type because it can put out fire caused by ordinary materials, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment. Many guests will know how to use fire extinguishers, but they should be clearly labeled within rooms, common areas, and hallways. A recessed light is a light fixture that is installed into a hollow opening in a ceiling. When installed it appears to have light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a downward direction as a broad floodlight or narrow spotlight. There are three parts to a recessed lighting fixture: housing, trim and bulb. The trim is the visible portion of the light. It is the insert that is seen when looking up into the fixture, and also includes the thin lining around the edge of the light. The housing is the fixture itself that is installed inside the ceiling and contains the lamp holder. There are many different types of bulbs that can be inserted into recessed lighting fixtures, with the amount of heat generated by the bulb being a unique consideration.
Food wrappers, paper bags, cardboard boxes, newspapers and scrap paper are just some of the things you'll see when you're cruising down the road. Paper products make up 22% of the litter that's currently out there, with plastics landing in third place at 19%. That's why it's so important to throw your trash in the proper recepticles. Show me where I can throw my trash here. To go sailing all we really need is a hull, mast, rudder, and sail. To experience the pure joy of sheeting in and scooting off across a lake, bay, or even the open ocean, there's nothing better than a small boat. You can literally reach out and touch the water as it flows past. You instantly feel every puff of breeze and sense every change in trim. To go off cruising, however, most of us require a sailboat with a head, a galley, and bunks. The boat, likely a 30-footer and more often a 40-footer, will have electronics for navigation and entertainment, refrigeration if the trip is longer than a coastal hop, an engine for light wind, and, depending on our appetites for food and fun, perhaps a genset to power our toys and appliances.

Ready-mix lightweight joint compound is a pre-made form of joint compound designed for fast application and easy maintenance. The compound is a complex combination often including water, limestone, expanded perlite, ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer, attapulgite, and other ingredients. The delicate mixture of compounds gives it a creamy texture that spreads easily onto drywall surfaces and then hardens as the moisture evaporates. Drying type compound takes a long time to dry out and is used to fill holes or gaps and shrinks as it drys possibly producing cracks in thick applications. Ready-mix joint compound is usually more forgiving than the setting type of joint compound. It can be used for as long of a period of time as needed, and does not dry up unless left unattended for a long period of time, but must be kept from freezing. myfreecams.com is the coolest webcam site on the web. definitely NSFW. |

If I Had A Blacklight, This Would Look Like A Jackson Pollock Painting."About eight weeks ago, my fiancee returned from a month long trip to Europe. I was missing her like crazy, not just for the sex, but also because of the sex. I had decided to propose while in her absence, buying the ring and whatnot. She came back, I proposed nonchalantly at home (we've lived together for the past four years, so we are basically married already) and we hugged in joy with our cat and dog. So, ready to face our five-star life of the future, we start caressing and mildly engaging in some nice foreplay. However, kitchen stuff needed to be finished, so we paused and finished tidying up the house. While I was finishing the dish-cleaning, she ran upstairs to get a shower. She whispered in my ear to join her in a few minutes. I heard the shower upstairs and I immediately felt the need to take a massive crap. I hurried to the downstairs toilet, opened my iPad and started checking the Guardian website while I disposed of a respectable succession of turds. However, the last one was one of those lazy turds that keeps hanging and breaks apart halfway. I shuffled and see-sawed my body as much as I could to get rid of the leftover shit and it surely dropped, but some nasty cream remained stuck. While I was attempting to clean the mess I hear my girl scream that she was waiting for me. I got stupidly nervous, ended "cleaning" and headed upstairs still reeking of shit. I opened the door, undressed and got in the shower. I don't know if it was the mixture with vapor, but the combination of it with my shit stench was too much. She looked distressed and laughed nervously. The window was open, so I started doing a fake sniff, as if also feeling surprised. "It smells horrible, wonder what the neighbors are doing?" I said with aplomb. She looked unconvinced but I guess there was no reason for her to connect the shit dots. While showering I did try and clean my crack as discreetly as possible, leaving partial stains on my hand in the process, but managing to make it without her noticing. I think the smell was too strong, because she told me to go have sex in the bed as opposed to doing it there in the shower. So on we go to bed and being happy as she was, she decided to go on top all the way. It was a fantastic performance and it was a long lasting fuck. We finished, we hugged and off she went to clean herself. When I turned on the lights I looked at the Duvet and there it was: a lame attempt at a Jackson Pollock study done by my stained ass. There were skid marks all over in around 50 shades of brown. I knew it was a matter of seconds before she came back, so I took the duvet cover, did a final ass cleaning with all my might (I surely cleaned that crack with that fine cotton), put on my boxers and made a ball of the duvet. I told her I found some dog paw stains on it and that I was going to clean it (playing the new perfect husband role). She smiled back and never noticed. Until last week, when she admitted she realized I had a dirty ass that night when she got up from sex and saw the marks. I really love that girl." -- Rick via Drew Magory First, all of the Close-But-No-Bananas...
Among the infinite tea varieties there are varieties of special importance. They appeared not today and not at once, but being independent of fleeting breath of popularity they have a high measure of flavour that comes from mixture of traditions, perfection of tea leaves processing and beauty of endless change of nature. They reveal the beauty of halftones and shades as well as exceptional fullness of perfect taste, through which it is possible to experience the fleeting moment, embodied in a cup of tea... And once they pose such a specific magnetism the advice of Oscar Wilde, who believed the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it, is worth following. It is these varieties of tea that you will find in the Greenfield tea collection. Okay, now we put this cooler thing to bed...
In some situations, it is desirable to install an in-line switch to control a device, such as a desk lamp, or an under-counter light, allowing the device to be turned on and off without having to pull the plug in and out of the outlet. The in-line roller switch is a very simple device that interrupts the current flow to the lamp by connecting or disconnecting the hot wire. Currently open challenges: this one I didn't expect anyone to finish, as other than 'Captain' there's really not much to go on. I am surprised however, that so far no one has nailed down this pet store or this pioneer settlement sign. |

Belay My Last, Looks Like Today Is The Pour Day.Better late than never, I suppose. An espresso machine brews coffee by forcing pressurized water near boiling point through a "puck" of ground coffee and a filter in order to produce a thick, concentrated coffee called espresso. The first machine for making espresso was built and patented in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy. An improved design was patented on April 28, 1903, by Luigi Bezzera. Patent no: US726793 A, which was bought by the founder of the La Pavoni company which from 1905 produced espresso machines commercially on a small scale in Milan. Multiple machine designs have been created to produce espresso. Several machines share some common elements, such as a grouphead and a portafilter. An espresso machine may also have a steam wand which is used to steam and froth liquids, to include milk, for coffee drinks such as cappuccino and caffe latte. A wood fence can be a great way to give a home's property a definitive border. It keeps both kids and pets safely in and stray animals out. It also changes the look of the house. But over time, wood fences rot away. However, you can make wood fences last longer with a little care. Periodically, you should also scrub the entire fence with soap and water to remove all the dirt and grime that's built up. This will help the fence last longer. Be aware that you will always need to inspect the area where the wood fence meets the ground to check for any signs of rot. Rinse it clean with cold water from the hose. If you have one within range, you can also use a pressure washer on the wood fence. My hunch is the only way someone is going to be able to find the large granite block she is sitting on, is if they recognize the architecture of the building in the background. Dasani is taking steps to reduce its impact on the planet with a major innovation in bottle design. PlantBottle packaging is made from up to 30% plant-based material that replaces some of the non-renewable petroleum or fossil-based resources used in conventional PET plastic. Still designed to be 100% recyclable, it helps save our world's precious resources. Since its introduction, Dasani has reduced the weight of its bottles, because lighter weight bottles require less plastic, which helps to conserve natural resources and lower CO2 emissions. In fact, current half liter Dasani bottles contain 45% less plastic than our original 2001 bottle.
Handmade baskets are some of the most beautiful in the world. They are rustic and unique, and no two are alike. Best of all, they are easy to make, and the materials don't cost much at all. You can make them countless ways, in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can even make them in different colors too by dyeing the rope that you are using. They are perfect for storing craft supplies, and make great gifts. Larger ones can even be used for heaverier applications like a trash recepticle or laundry basket. Well this is kind of a weird looking cooler, but it looks kind of old though. I wonder where I can buy one and how much they cost?

Day Two of the Case Del Ernie Rework: The Pouring.Three huge ass Royal Palms in the front of my house have been wreaking fucking havor on the sidewalk and the very corners of the driveway. After spending the last few years watching the damage slowly progressfrom simple cracks to inch-and-a-half heaves I figured it was finally time to have something done about it. A rope light is primarily used as a decorative lighting fixture, featuring small light bulbs linked together and encased in a PVC jacket to create a string of lights. Rope lights are used for both decorative and practical lighting purposes. Common indoor uses include outlining the edge of a kitchen counter or bar, comprehensive ceiling lighting and under-lighting the baseboards in a movie theatre. Rope lights also suit a room with no permanent layout like a garage, attic or kid's rooms, where it can provide comprehensive lighting throughout the entire room regardless of how things are arranged. Users who want to add ambient lighting also use rope lights, in areas like the TV/gaming room, bedroom and bathroom. Sports bras can either encapsulate or compress breasts. Bras that encapsulate breasts have molded cups, while compression-type bras restrict movement by flattening the breasts. Encapsulation-type bras generally are more effective at reducing discomfort, but some women prefer compression designs. Another problem arises from the shoulder straps of standard bras. Standard well-fitting bras are constructed in the form of a "square frame", with all dimensions adjusted for each woman in a normal standing position, with arms to the sides. When a woman performs an activity which requires her to lift her arms above the shoulders, the frame is strained because it is anchored by the chest band, putting direct pressure on the shoulder trapezius muscles. This may result in neck and shoulder pain, numbness and tingling in the arm and headaches. To avoid such problems the bra's shoulder straps are usually crossed at the back, or the bra is worn halter-style. Verify (verb); to recognize or establish as being a particular person or thing; I want you to identify the brand of handsoap sitting on the bathroom counter.

OMG! OMG! OMG! THEY WEREN'T CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES AFTER ALL! ZOMG! ZOMGZZZ!A plank is timber that is flat, elongated, and rectangular with parallel faces that are higher and longer than wide. Used primarily in carpentry, planks are critical in the construction of ships, houses, bridges, and many other structures. Planks also serve as supports to form shelves and tables. Planks are often used as a work surface on elevated scaffolding, and need to be wide enough to provide strength without breaking when walked on. The plank was the basis of maritime transport: wood floats on water, and abundant forests meant wooden logs could be easily obtained and processed, making planks the primary material in ship and dock building. However, since the 20th century, wood has largely been supplanted in ship construction by iron and steel, to decrease cost and improve durability. Winter has long been the arch nemesis of asphalt roads and parking lots. The freeze/thaw cycle, salt, and snow plows -- especially when combined with traffic -- wreak absolute havoc on the condition of the asphalt. When the ice melts and spring rolls around, what will the roads and parking lots you've worked on look like? And what does that mean for your business? First off, know that the pavement will be in worse condition than you saw it last fall. Hairline cracks will have expanded, areas with minor alligator cracking might now exhibit extensive alligatoring, and areas of slight depression or minor damage might easily be full-fledged potholes -- or potholes that were created and treated with temporary material during the winter. Cracks that form in the pavement surface and are not properly sealed allow harmful substances to infiltrate the pavement -- water, impurities, debris and sunlight -- that will accelerate failure of the pavement surface. The Panhandle Pioneer Settlement, a living-history museum in Blountstown, Florida, has a collection of 18 historical buildings, dating from 1820 to the 1940s. Finding it on a map isn't that difficult at all, but can you find a spot that's one mile and a right turn away?

Grab bars are safety devices designed to enable a person to maintain balance, lessen fatigue while standing, hold some of their weight while maneuvering, or have something to grab onto in case of a slip or fall. A caregiver may use a grab bar to assist with transferring a patient from one place to another. Grab bars increase accessibility and safety for people with a variety of disabilities or mobility difficulties. Although they are most commonly seen in public handicapped toilet stalls, grab bars are also used in private homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and nursing homes. Grab bars are most commonly installed next to a toilet or in a shower or bath enclosure. Some grab bars also have a light feature and double as a night light offering up a little more safety at night when using the bathroom.

Lots Of Renovations In Ernie's House of Whoopass. The Brick and Mortar One, Not This One.CSI: NY is an American police procedural television series that ran on CBS from September 2004 to February 2013, for a total of nine seasons and 197 original episodes. The show follows the investigations of a team of NYPD forensic scientists and police officers identified as "Crime Scene Investigators" as they unveil the circumstances behind mysterious and unusual deaths, as well as other crimes. The series is an indirect spin-off from the veteran series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and a direct spin-off from CSI: Miami, during an episode in which several of the CSI: NY characters made their first appearances. It is the third series in the CSI franchise. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5 A Tiki torch is a bamboo torch originating in Tiki culture, but increased in popularity and spread to other places where it is a popular party decoration and can create an island aesthetic to outdoor decorations. The common style is to have a bamboo stick with a container of flammable fluid at the top, and then a lit wick drawing from that container. The popularity in America rose in the 1930s and further increased in the following decades. Many torch fuels on the market have also added low concentrations of Citronella oil to repel insects. The Citronella scent confuses mosquitoes, making it difficult for them to locate a host.
An electrical room is a room or space in a building dedicated to electrical equipment, the size of whichis usually proportional to the size of the building. Large buildings may have a main electrical room and subsidiary electrical rooms. Can you find the electrical room she's running to? And since that photo didn't enlarge very well, here's a clearer shot of what's across the street. Dimmers are devices used to lower the brightness of a light. By changing the voltage waveform applied to the lamp, it is possible to lower the intensity of the light output. Although variable-voltage devices are used for various purposes, the term dimmer is generally reserved for those intended to control light output from resistive incandescent, halogen, and more recently, compact fluorescent lights and light-emitting diodes. More specialized equipment is needed to dim fluorescent, mercury vapor, solid state and other arc lighting. A rotary dimmer switch has sort of a fancy name, but it's probably something you're already familiar with. It's simply a dimmer switch with a dial on its face, first coming into popularity during the 1970s and 80s, and are still widely available.
Now it shouldn't be too much of a trouble to figure out what hotel offers this view of Treasure Island, but I do believe it will be a little more difficult for you to find Pedro's Beachside Bar. Compared to general-service incandescent lamps giving the same amount of visible light, CFLs use one-fifth to one-third the electric power, and last eight to fifteen times longer. A CFL has a higher purchase price than an incandescent lamp, but can save over five times its purchase price in electricity costs over the lamp's lifetime. Like all fluorescent lamps, CFLs contain toxic mercury which complicates their disposal. In many countries, governments have banned the disposal of CFLs together with regular garbage; these countries have also established special collection systems for CFLs and other hazardous waste since the tubular-type compact fluorescent lamp is one of the most popular types in Europe. |

Anyone Who Has Ever Been On An MRE Diet Knows This Story."On my 1st deployment to Iraq, my camp was basically a glorified truck stop for convoys & helicopters passing through. Since we didn't have a real kitchen because the camp was so small we had to depend on food trucked in from a larger base in the area. If there were too many bombs on the road to our camp we wouldn't get the food and we would just be stuck with MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat). For most people I know, eating too many MRE's tend to have adverse affects on pooping patterns. For me, too many meant I should expect some constipation. Then, when I would switch back to regular food, the flood gates would open. Halfway through my tour, bombs were being planted on the roads faster than they could clear them. So, for about 3 weeks, we were on an all MRE diet. It felt like I was carrying around a brick in my stomach & when I actually did shit, it felt like I was trying so hard to push that brick out that it felt like the veins in my neck would burst. There wasn't anyone in camp that had anything to use as a laxative. Even the medics had run out of pooping aids. Then, one day out of nowhere, the food truck shows up! It shows up full of surf & turf. The best part were the piles of chocolate chips cookies. I must've had 15 of those cookies with my meal. I was expecting the emergency shit evacuation sometime that night, but it never happened. At the time I was relieved because the lines after dinner for the shitters looked like an Apple store before a new iPhone comes out. My relief was short lived. In the morning, we got movement orders to another camp four hrs away to help out another team with an upcoming operation. It was such a rush to get ready and leave I didn't notice I hadn't shit yet. About 30 minutes into our drive, the three weeks worth of shit bricks announces it's time to move out. I was in our trucks turret and it felt like with every bump in the road I was one step closer to shitting my pants while everyone in the cab would get an eye level view of it. My asshole was doing it's best but massive failure was at hand. I radioed my driver to tell him to relay up to the convoy commander if we can stop because I was going to shit my pants. At this point I don't care if I earned the scorn & humilation from the entire convoy. Before he gets on the radio, our truck starts spewing oil out & the oil pressure drops. We have to stop on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. I'm saved! After pulling into our protective formation, I go to the farthest corner of the formation and with my friend Richie providing over watch I proceed to carpet bomb this small part of Iraq with choclate chip shit. The relief was immense. But no shit goes unnoticed. My friend Richie never let me forget he had to stand there for the whole shit massacre. Even 6 years later when I ran into him & his wife in Hawaii he told his wife, 'Remember that story I told you about watching someone take a shit?" This is the guy.' Awkward." -- Aaron via Drew Magary
Whether sweet or dry, white or red, robust or light, wine requires very specific serving procedures in order to reach its full flavor potential. In addition to proper serving temperatures, each type of wine requires a specific style of glass for service. Understanding the different types of wine glasses and what makes them ideal for one type of wine over another is essential to getting the most out of your wine collection. The bowls of wine glasses are also designed to allow an amount of surface area appropriate to the wine - red wine glasses will have a larger amount of surface area for the wine to allow it to breathe, while white wine glasses will have a smaller amount of surface area. Champagne glasses will have a very small amount of surface area for the wine so that it retains its carbonation.

this is for the gz, and this is for the hustlaz.A drawstring is a string, cord, lace, or rope used to "draw" fabric or other material. The ends of the drawstring may be tied to hold it in place, or close an opening. Alternately, the drawstring may be kept drawn using a cordlock. Typically, the drawstring is loose when not being used, and tightened when needed during use. A drawstring may be threaded through a hem or casing or laced through holes, which may be lined with eyelets. It may also be laced through loops attached to the material, in the same way that belt loops are. A very wide, flat drawstring becomes a belt. Anatomical models are a great educational tool to study and explain the internal and external structure of the human body as well as the various functions of the body's systems. Students interested in the medical profession as well as doctors, professors, and health care professionals benefit from the realism. Calico cats are domestic cats with a spotted or particolored coat that is predominantly white, with patches of two other colors. Outside North America, the pattern is more usually called tortoiseshell-and-white. In the province of Quebec, Canada, they are sometimes called chatte d'Espagne. Calicoes with diluted coloration have been called calimanco or clouded tiger. Occasionally, the tri-color calico coloration is combined with a tabby patterning. Old and busted: What's in the box?

Correct Craft is a United States-based builder of powerboats primarily for waterskiing and wakeboard use. It was founded in 1925 by Walt C. Meloon as the Florida Variety Boat Company. Correct Craft is the oldest family-owned and operated boat manufacturer in the world. In 1945, American troops had reached the Rhine River but lacked the transport boats needed to cross it. Correct Craft was commissioned to supply the needed storm boats within a month's time. Reports vary on the number of boats required, placing the number between 300 and 600. At that time, Correct Craft produced less than 50 boats over the course of a month. The company did not work on Sundays, and despite production pressure refused to open production on a Sunday. The production was finished ahead of schedule. In June 2015, Correct Craft acquired majority interest in Centurion Boats and Supreme Boats, based in Merced, California.

The amorphous structure of glass makes it brittle. Because glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, there is no way to relieve stress. Excessive stress therefore forms a crack that starts at a point where there is a surface flaw. Particles on the surface of the crack become separated. The stress that formed the crack is now borne by particles that have fewer neighbors over which the stress can be distributed. As the crack grows, the intensity of the stress at its tip increases. This allows more bonds to break, and the crack widens until the glass breaks. Thus, if you want to cut a piece of glass, start by scoring the glass with a file to produce a scratch along which it will break when stressed. There are some who say that hot dogs are a simple man's food. Those people are called traitors, and they need to be tried as the turncoats they are, because the chili-cheese hot dog is a true symbol of American ingenuity: hand-held, inexpensive, and basically stolen from another country and relabeled as American.

In marketing, a coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product. Customarily, coupons are issued by manufacturers of consumer packaged goods or by retailers, to be used in retail stores as a part of sales promotions. They are often widely distributed through mail, coupon envelopes, magazines, newspapers, the Internet (social media, email newsletter), directly from the retailer, and mobile devices such as cell phones. Since only price conscious consumers are likely to spend the time to claim the savings, coupons function as a form of price discrimination, enabling retailers to offer a lower price only to those consumers who would otherwise go elsewhere.

The Prada company was started in 1913 by Mario Prada and his brother Martino as a leather goods shop – Fratelli Prada – in Milan, Italy. Initially, the shop sold leather goods and imported English steamer trunks and handbags. Mario Prada did not believe that women should have a role in business, and so he prevented female family members from entering into his company. Ironically, Mario's son harbored no interest in the business, so it was his daughter Luisa Prada who took the helm of Prada as his successor, and ran it for almost twenty years. Her own daughter, Miuccia Prada, joined the company in 1970, eventually taking over for her mother in 1978. The logo for the label was not as obvious a design element as those on bags from other prominent luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton. Okay, admittedly shitty quality photograph, but I think there's enough there to help you find this Big Philly Cheesesteak.
"Egyptian blue" was made combining iron and copper oxides with silica and calcium. This produced a rich color however it was unstable and sometimes darkened or changed color over the years. Blue was naturally also a symbol of the Nile and its associated crops, offerings and fertility. Both the sun and gold were yellow and shared the qualities of being imperishable, eternal and indestructible. Thus anything portrayed as yellow in Egyptian art generally carried this connotation. Any idea where this fertile indestructible blue and gold Pharoah might be located? An infinity pool is a reflecting or swimming pool where the water flows over one or more edges, producing a visual effect of water with no boundary. Such pools are often designed such that the edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, or with the sky. Infinity pools are very expensive and require extensive structural, mechanical, and architectural detailing. Since they are often built in precarious locations, sound structural engineering is paramount. The high costs of these pools are often found in the foundation systems that anchor them to hillsides. Infinity pools are often seen at resorts, estates, and in other luxurious places. |

Ode To Big Red.The last time I wrote about Big Red was almost two years ago almost to the day and for what will be the second time in five months, it seems I'm saying goodbye to another cornerstone of my adult life. Television commercials and magazine articles aside, the first time I saw a new redesigned second-generation Dodge Ram was late in 1993. I was on a small two lane road driving back from Connecticut and one was coming in the opposite direction. It was cold but there was no snow or frost on the ground, and the roads were clear. I almost didn't recognize it for what it was at first, as it took a second for my brain to process what was coming towards me. Seeing that curvy new Dodge Ram was like seeing the face of God. I leaned forward in the seat of my little Ranger and my eyes soaked in every detail. As the Ram zoomed past me I stared into my side view mirror and watched it grow smaller in the distance. I made up my mind then and there that I would own one. And so a year later, with my re-enlistment bonus fresh in my hand, I hauled my ragged ass down to Burlington Dodge -- which seems to have been torn down some time between 2005 and 2011, and is now a shopping plaza -- and haggled myself out a deal. I placed that order on 24 October 1994, and seven weeks later, on the afternoon of 13 December, my phone rang at work and my salesman told me my truck had arrived. Dick Mitchell -- aka the greatest boss I've ever had -- let me have the rest of the afternoon off and I fucking rocketed back down to the dealer. There sitting in the back among the new arrivals, was the bad ass fucking Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 that would come to be known as Big Red. I was immensely proud of, and babied the living shit out of, my new truck. At the dorms, I wouldn't park in the lower parking lots next to the dorms where all the losers parked, I parked up the hill in the MIT labs parking lot, because that's where winners parked. At work, I didn't park over with the rest of the fucking losers in the ESD parking lot, no I parked one parking lot over in the AARCOM building parking lot, and in the winter months would trudge through snow drifts that were 3-4 feet deep. But that was okay, because nobody dinged my fucking truck. And as the next 22 years waned on and the tide of my life ebbed and flowed, the one that has always remained constant was my fucking truck. Big Red carried me away from the Air Force and into the civilian world. There it carried me to customer locations from downtown Boston to the Holyoke college. It carried me up into the Berkshire mountains for camping, up into New Hampshire for ATVing and into New York to see my family. It carried me down into New Jersey to get Ike, and years later here in Florida, over to Fort Myers to get Bianca. It has seen me live in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Florida, through four different employers and more than a few handfuls of women. It carried me home to see my dying mother, and then to her funeral. It has carried me to serve on jury duty ans send two criminals to prison. It has carried ATVs, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, and scooters. It has jump started countless dead batteries and pulled God knows how many stuck cars out of the snow. It has moved me and my things, and my friends and their things. It has kept me safe and warm in dry during blizzards, torrential downpours and minus-double-digit weather in the Vermont mountains. It has seen me through triumph and so much bitter heartache. It has served as shelter, as entertainment, and in a weird quirky way, as loyal companion. But time yields for no man or beast, and I suppose machine, either. Enduring eleven New England winters left its mark on Big Red, and while it could be slowed down, that was a cancer that could just could not be shaken for good. I has previously mentioned that Big Red was rusting pretty badly and in the ensuing two years, as my usage of it grew less and less frequent, things have not gotten any better in the body department. So as the rust stains in my driveway grew larger and darker, I made the decision that I would touch Big Red up as much as possible and see him off to a new home. And so with the aid of some spray foam insulation and half a dozen cans of spray on bedliner I placed an ad on Craigslist and began my search for who was worthy of giving Big Red a new home. I immediately ruled out cash offers from junkyards -- fuck you vultures -- and from a guy looking for a good drivetrain to transplant into his truck. Sorry, even though it's rusting to shit, there's no fucking way I'm selling Big Red to some asshole who is going to cannibalize it. Eventually a young 21 year old kid -- one year younger than I was when I ordered Big Red -- replied that cosmetic issues aside, he was looking for a pickup truck as reliable transportation. After some casual conversation on Big Red's humble beginnings, he thanked me for my service and mentioned that he was hoping to make it into the Army soon. And so yesterday, in exchange for $750 American dollars, I signed over the title to my beloved truck. So long, Big Red. I'm glad you're leaving under your own power and not on the back of a tow truck. You sure as hell were a great vehicle and I hope Steve gets many more years of loyal service out of you. Spend what time you have left running into the wind and not rusting away in my driveway. And I really hope I see you around one of these days. Be well, my friend.
The Bat-Signal is a distress signal device appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, as a means to call for the superhero Batman. It is a specially modified searchlight with a stylized emblem of a bat affixed to the light, allowing it to project a large bat symbol onto the sky or buildings of Gotham City. In the stories, the signal is used by the Gotham City Police Department as a method of contacting and summoning Batman to their assistance in the event of a serious crisis and as a weapon of psychological intimidation to the numerous villains of Gotham City.
A clothes iron is a small hand-held appliance with a handle holding a flat, roughly triangular surface that, when heated, is used to press clothes to remove creases. It is named for the metal of which the device was historically commonly made, and the use of it is generally called ironing. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate, the fibers are stretched and the fabric maintains its new shape when cool. Some materials, such as cotton, require the use of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds. Many materials developed in the twentieth century are advertised as needing little or no ironing. |

I Think Today May Mark The End Of An Era.A tan line is a visually clear division on the human skin between an area of pronounced comparative paleness relative to other areas that have been suntanned by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The source of the radiation may be the sun, or artificial UV sources such as tanning lamps. Tan lines are usually an inadvertent result of a work environment or of recreational activities, but are sometimes intentional. Many people regard visible tan lines as un-aesthetic, and seek to avoid tan lines that will be visible when regular clothes are worn. These are photos of Interstate 44 at Hazelgreen. As you can see, just because the water recedes does not mean the road is ready to be open. A portable gazebo is a shelter that collapses down to a size for portability. Typically, canopies of this type come in sizes from five feet by five feet, to ten feet by twenty feet. The canopy frame is constructed of either steel or aluminium. Steel framed canopies are heavier and typically cost less than aluminium frames. Recently, stainless steel has been used because it is lighter than steel and stronger than aluminium. Pop up canopies have become very popular for sporting events, festivals, trips to the beach, and trade shows. They are also known as pit tents when used in the context of amateur or semi-professional motorsport. A trellis is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is normally made to support and display climbing plants, especially shrubs. There are many types of trellis for different places and for different plants, from agricultural types, especially in viticulture, which are covered at vine training systems, to garden uses for climbers such as grapevines, clematis, ivy, and climbing roses or other support based growing plants. The rose trellis is especially common in Europe and other rose-growing areas, and many climbing rose varieties require a trellis to reach their potential as garden plants. Some plants will climb and wrap themselves round a trellis without much artificial help being needed while others need training by passing the growing shoots through the trellis and/or tying them to the framework. Pancakes may be served at any time of the day with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit, syrup, chocolate chips, or meat, but are typically considered a breakfast food. See if you can find these chocolate chip pancakes.
Inexpensive plastic pools can be bought in supermarkets and taken down after summer. They are used mostly outdoors in yards, are typically shallow, and often their sides are inflated with air to stay rigid. See if you can find this rooftop kiddie pool. Faux brick paneling is an easy way to add texture and interest to a wall. However, no matter what kind it is, it still has the look and feel of fake brick. In older homes, It may have become old and worn and in need of replacing. It can be difficult to remove, as you may run the risk of damaging your walls. One solution is to paint the faux brick. Painting can give it a new, modern look. You'll preserve the texture of brick and hide the fact that it's not real brick. Painting over faux brick is different from painting a regular wall. The most important step is cleaning the surface, as faux brick has many small indentations that can hide dirt. Wash the faux brick with a mixture of mild detergent and water prior to painting.

Well, Shit.The Kwik-E-Martis a fictional convenience store in the animated television series The Simpsons. It is a parody of American convenience stores, such as 7-Eleven and Wawa Inc., and depicts many of the stereotypes about them. It is notorious for its high prices and the poor quality of its merchandise. The operator of the Springfield store is an Indian-American named Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. It was first seen in the episode "The Telltale Head" and has since become a common setting in The Simpsons. In July 2007, eleven 7-Eleven locations in the United States and one in Canada were transformed into Kwik-E-Marts as part of a special promotion for The Simpsons Movie. Also in 2007, gift shops modeled after the "Kwik-E-Marts" were opened in Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood, where they are a companion to "The Simpsons Ride".

While there are many types of attractive antique and vintage signs, porcelain signs foremost among them, lighted signs are in a class all their own. Some common varieties include lighted clock signs (perhaps the most widespread type of “practical” advertising), lighted beer signs that rotate (great for dark bars), and lighted gas-station signs (the illumination gave them better visibility from the road). In fact, beverages are one of the most common products marketed with lighted signs. Beer companies in particular have claimed neon and other lighted signs as their own. In audio, a mixing console is an electronic device for combining, routing, and changing the volume level, timbre and/or dynamics of many different audio signals, such as microphones being used by singers, mics picking up acoustic instruments such as drums or saxophones, signals from electric or electronic instruments such as the electric bass or synthesizer, or recorded music playing on a CD player. In the 2010s, a mixer is able to control older analog or newer digital signals, depending on the type of mixer. The modified signals are summed to produce the combined output signals, which can then be broadcast, amplified through a sound reinforcement system or recorded.
Why do people from different parts of the world have different colored skin? Why do people from the tropics generally have darker skin color that those who live in colder climates? Variations in human skin color are adaptive traits that correlate closely with geography and the sun's ultraviolet radiation. As early humans moved into hot, open environments in search of food and water, one big challenge was keeping cool. The adaptation that was favored involved an increase in the number of sweat glands on the skin while at the same time reducing the amount of body hair. With less hair, perspiration could evaporate more easily and cool the body more efficiently. But this less-hairy skin was a problem because it was exposed to a very strong sun, especially in lands near the equator. Since strong sun exposure damages the body, the solution was to evolve skin that was permanently dark so as to protect against the sun's more damaging rays. |

Holy Shit, It's May Already.A kitchenette is a small cooking area, which usually has a fridge and a microwave, but may have other appliances. In some motel and hotel rooms, small apartments, college dormitories, or office buildings, a kitchenette usually consists of a small refrigerator, a microwave oven or hotplate, and, less frequently, a sink. New York City building code defines a kitchenette as a kitchen of less than 80 sq/ft of floor space. Kitchenettes are a common feature in hotel and motel guest rooms and often contain a coffeemaker, a bar refrigerator, commonly called a mini-bar. Some hotel kitchenettes have provisioned refrigerators that have an interior sensor feature used by management to monitor guest use of the refrigerator's contents and thus charge for the consumables, which typically include pop, beer and liquor. Probably the most popular question when it comes tattooing - Is it painful? Lots of people avoid getting tattooed because of the pain. Some are getting used to it, some are trying to find some anesthetics to prevent the pain, especially on long sitting sessions. But however, there is no a correct answer for this question. It depends on people pain threshold and immune system. Sometimes a big role plays the tattoo placement, some body areas are causing more pain than others, e.g. stomach, back of knees, armpit, inside of elbow, nipples, lips, inside of thighs and genitals. Not Really Painful: upper arm, forearm, calf, buttocks, and thigh. For a 1st tattoo these are great points to begin your inked journey. Here in the U.S. alone, we use around 100 billion plastic grocery bags every single year. While some cities have banned the bag, most of us aren't lucky enough to live in a town that's nixed those ubiquitous, flimsy grocery bags. Despite always bringing a reusable bag to the store, plastic grocery bags seem to make their way into my life. Maybe a well-meaning friend uses one to bring over snacks for a night of board games or I accept a used one to tote some goodies home from an unexpected garage sale. No matter what the reason, I can never bring myself to get rid of all of that plastic. If you've got an ever growing collection of plastic bags making you feel guilty, too, don't despair! There are some practical and crafty ways to use those bags over and over.
These two challenges are complete fucking long shots: is there any chance anyone will be able to identify this building in the background -- a hotel, perhaps? -- or this megayacht? Computer monitor mounts can be used with either fixed height or adjustable height workcenters and are an excellent way to achieve the optimal level of adjustability recommended by ergonomists. When used appropriately, they can help workers avoid the development of musculoskeletal disorders, aid in the management of existing MSD, and help alleviate eye strain associated with long hours of computer use in the office. Adjustable monitor arms enable users to maintain neutral position of their shoulders, neck and back by allowing them to position their computer screen in the perfect location and angle for their height and the type of task they are performing. This adjustability is especially beneficial to users who wear corrective multi-focal lenses. Add a touch of passion for traditional Chinese culture into today's modern society, and also an acceptance of it's Heritage and History. Let luxurious, classical chinese styles blend in with your home's western artisteries, to strike a balance between Eastern and Western culture. |
