Surplus funds should be set aside for the Governor to solely decide how they will be used. He (or she) must create a separate, transparent budget that shows how every dollar is to be used. That way, there would be direct accountability to the taxpaying public. Right now, voters are kept in the dark by the budgetary sleight-of-hand that happens all the time at the legislature. | 0 | en |

Yes, we need to provide the best possible coverage of MFI, but we should present the facts in a neutral way. Actually, Falconkhe mentioned something very interesting. He said MFI members were involved in terrorist activities and that MFI was responsible for hijacking a bus in Faislabad. This is a subject of controversy, and I feel it is important to address it. Actually what happened is that a certain Shahbaz Khan, who claimed to be the Imam Mehdi, claimed himself to be funded by Younus AlGohar and Messiah Foundation International. He claimed that he learned hypnotism from Younus AlGohar. He hijacked a bus in Faislabad with 50 followers, apparently, and then had a shoot-out with police. This happened in 2005.
This story was published by the Daily Times, the story can be found here. However I feel the need to draw your attention to the fact that according to this article, Mr. Khan stated that ""they were working under different names including Hizb-e-Riaz, Mehdi Foundation, Deen-e-Younas, Deen-e-Elahi, Sarkari Sufi and Anjuman-e-Sarfoshan-e-Islam."" Had he really been associated with MFI and/or ASI, he wouldn't have said that he was working under the banner of both ASI and MFI, as he would have known that the two groups do not work with each other at all.
I would also like to point out that this apparent story was published by the same newspaper who published this story. According to this particular story, ""Riaz Gohar Shahi was arrested under the charges of the blasphemy law and was later murdered in jail because of his controversial religious ideas"". However this is completely false because Gohar Shahi was never put in jail, and left Pakistan for the United Kingdom, as he was being persecuted in Pakistan.
According to this report by the UNHCR,
In December 2005, the news agency UPI and the Pakistani newspapers Daily Times and The
Nation, citing Pakistan police sources, report alleged links between the Gohar Shahi group and
“self-proclaimed ‘Imam Mehdi’” Shahbaz Khan (The Nation, 19 December 2005; UPI, 27
December 2005; Daily Times, 28 December 2005). According to The Sunday Telegraph,
Shahbaz Khan was involved in a hostage-taking incident (The Sunday Telegraph, 15 January
2006). However, concerning links between Shahbaz and the Gohar Shahi group, The Sunday
Telegraph states:
“There is no suggestion that leaders of the Gohar Shahi religion either organised
[Shahbaz] Ahmed's actions in Pakistan or knew what he and his disciples were planning.”

You have to try to see if you can succeed. Apple tried with the iPhone, Amazon
tried with AWS, Nike tried with the Jordan's and that seems to have worked out
pretty well for them. Just because something exist doesn't mean someone else
should not try to compete in that market, especially if they have the capital,
and staff for a good competitive edge.

Все больше людей в мире переходит на вегетарианство и веганство, отказываясь от продуктов животного происхождения. Этим уже никого не увидишь, но последнее время все чаще защитники животных предлагают сменить рацион питания кошек и собак. Если человек стал вегетарианцем это его выбор, но как быть с домашними питомцами? Гуманно ли насильно менять привычный рацион питания наших любимцев? Мнения на этот счет разделились. Некоторые сторонники растительного питания уверены, что таким образом они спасают планету, но ветеринары с ними категорически не согласны. Медики уверены, что перевод плотоядных домашних питомцев на растительную пищу это жестокое обращение с животными. Если лишить кота или собаку животного белка, питомец не будет получать все необходимые для здоровья витамины и аминокислоты. Может быть, планету вы и спасете, а вот своего четвероногого друга погубите. Ветеринары объясняют, что витамин D не синтезируется в коже животных под воздействием ультрафиолета, поэтому они должны получать его с едой. Но питомцу нужен витамин D3, содержащийся в животной пище, а не растительный витамин D2. То же самое можно сказать и про остальные элементы, необходимые для здоровья четвероногих: кальций, фосфор, железо и аминокислоты. Пытаться посадить кошку на веганскую диету все равно что кормить лошадь мясом. Вы хотите заставить животное есть пищу, которую оно изначально по своим видовым характеристикам усваивать не приспособлено, рассказал Лью Олсон, доктор наук, автор книги Сырое и натуральное питание для собак . Несмотря на протесты специалистов, тенденция по переводу домашних питомцев на вегетарианскую диету становится все сильнее. Канадские ученые решили собрать статистику, и оказалось, что из 3673 владельцев собак и кошек 6,2 оказались вегетарианцами, но только 1 из них исключили мясо из рациона своей собаки. Для сторонников более строгой диеты, веганов (5,8 , или 212 человек), этот показатель оказался значительно выше: 27 , то есть 58 животных, были лишены продуктов, положенных им по природе. 78 опрошенных вегетарианцев и веганов признались, что хотели бы перевести своих питомцев на растительное питание, но не знают, как правильно сбалансировать их диету. Учитывая полученные результаты, ветеринары призывают уделять больше внимания разработке кормов нового типа. Если уж и превращать домашних питомцев в вегетарианцев, то делать это без вреда для их здоровья. | 0 | ru |

It is interesting that so many think that unemployment significantly falling, interest rates falling, inflation going away, incomes going up, huge numbers of jobs, high paying jobs, being created and huge increases in receipts to the government, even with everyone paying less in taxes, income taxes, was such a bad thing.

Republicans Take Credit For Improved Economy After Three Weeks In Office
Doug Mataconis · · 20 comments
Via Dave Weigel comes this amusing press release from Eric Cantor’s office:
THERE ARE THE JOBS: Republicans Prevent Massive Tax Increase, Economy Begins to Improve: U.S. companies plan to hire more workers in the coming months amid growing optimism over the economy, a quarterly survey released Monday showed, providing further evidence that the jobs market is turning around. In the fourth-quarter poll of 84 companies by the National Association for Business Economics found 42% of companies interviewed, ranging from manufacturing to finance, expect to boost jobs in the six months ahead. That’s up from 29% in the first three months of 2010. Only 7% in the latest survey predict they will shed jobs in the coming six months, down from 23% at the start of last year. Dow Jones
Former Reagan Administration adviser Bruce Bartlett would tend to disagree with the GOP’s effort to take credit for this one:
As usual, they are full of shit. The “tax cut” enacted in December was not a tax cut at all, merely the extension of tax cuts enacted in the early 2000s that were in effect all during the time the economy was shedding jobs by the millions. And even if there were some miracle properties in just extending tax cuts already in effect, it is grossly implausible to claim that this would have any impact on jobs so quickly.
Guys, if you’re going to take credit for an economic turnaround, you might want to actually do something first. | 1 | en |

:: I'm just discussing the article. My personal thought is that none of the articles (which I notice you are the initial author) really are of enough significance to be separate articles. I believe they are better discussed in connection with the game itself. It's just an opinion. I'm happy to make the same opinion on all those other articles. Either it's done for all series (including those in England) or none. Given the crux of the 74/75 article is short-pitched bowling, bad light and crowd behaviour it seems pretty flimsy to me. Again just an opinion. I'd be interested in hearing from others on the subject though. | 0 | en |

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, he played professionally for 11 seasons, including one in Major League Baseball with the Washington Senators. He also coached several college teams during and after his playing career. He was tall and weighed .
Early life
Coogan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1875. His parents, John and Emma Coogan, died when he was young.
Coogan attended Girard College and played for the school's baseball team until he graduated in 1892. He then attended the University of Pennsylvania and was the baseball team's catcher from 1892 to 1894. During this time, he acquired the nickname "Little Danny Coogan" due to his small stature.
Professional career
In 1895, Coogan graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and started his professional baseball career with the National League's Washington Senators. He played 26 games for the Senators, mostly as a shortstop, and batted .221 with seven runs batted in. Coogan then played in the minor leagues from 1896 to 1906. He had stints with several teams in the Eastern League and the New York State League.
Coogan coached the University of Pennsylvania's baseball team from 1904 to 1906. He coached at Cornell University from 1906 to 1913. He later coached at Bowdoin College and Georgetown University. During World War I, he was a physical director with the Canadian Army.
Coogan died in Philadelphia in 1942 and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery.

EFI Announces CFO Transition Plan
Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
FOSTER CITY, Calif. - Electronics For Imaging, Inc., a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that Vincent Pilette has resigned as Chief Financial Officer, effective September 3, 2013, to pursue another opportunity. Vincent will be available through the end of the quarter to ensure a smooth transition. The Company will initiate a formal search for a new Chief Financial Officer.
The company intends to appoint Marc Olin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EFI Productivity Software, as interim Chief Financial Officer. Marc was previously CEO and co-founder of Printcafe Software, a public company EFI acquired in 2003 as a part of our growth strategy. Brandy Green, EFI's Chief Accounting Officer, will assume additional finance responsibilities and will be joining EFI's Senior Leadership Team and report to Marc.
"We are grateful for Vincent's contributions to EFI and we wish him the best with his new endeavor," said EFI CEO Guy Gecht. "We are confident in the finance team's ability, with Marc and Brandy's leadership, to comprehensively support the entire organization in our mission to capitalize on the significant short and long term opportunities in front of us."
"While it was a difficult decision for me to leave EFI as the business is just beginning to realize its full potential, this strong position also makes it the right time for me to take on a different set of challenges and embark on the next chapter in my career," said Vincent Pilette. "My confidence in the Company's leadership and opportunities has never been higher, and I look forward to remaining a supporter and a shareholder of EFI.
Discussion
Not the best written press release I've ever seen, but as someone who has watched over Marc's shoulder while he works on spreadsheets for 5 hours on a plane, I would say this is a very good move for EFI. Congratulations to Marc Olin... a very busy man will now be even busier! | 0 | en |

Right, but I'll throw my hat in with the large organizations that Slott cites here. The CDC, ADA, WHO, etc. They are not collectively out to "control" us as some would think. I actually think they have our best interests in mind regarding our health.
While I will not hunt down and try to discredit your sources, and they may well be very legit, I will say there is much more evidence pointing in the opposite direction: that small amounts of fluoride have a net beneficial effect on people's health.
If the overwhelming majority of science ever switches their findings then I'll agree with them then, too.

This episode is obviously a deconstruction of beach episode. Fucking KyoAni. The very studio that gives us tearjerker Key anime such as Clannad and Kanon (lolnope) now brings the melodramatic mood to their latest work, Chuunikoi. Beach episode is supposed to be a happy-go-lucky episode with some nice tits and ass here and there. But instead in this episode we got so less tits and ass (though Shinka's tits and Kumin's ass are lovely) and more melodrama. Such a waste of airtime. Shinka's tits are the miracle of the universe.
Well that was unexpected. This blog hits three-year mark which means I already write bullshit in MINORU'S BLOG for three years. Three years! What a waste of ti- I mean, yeah great!! Hurrah!! I'm happy to be able to write things I want to write even though nobody really cares about it. And I'm absolutely blissful knowing that there's somebody out there in this vast world who's willing to take their time to read my posts.
I like writing. I like to convey whatever I have in my thought into a bunch of letters. That is why hopefully I'll keep writing in this blog for many many years later, even though maybe one day I'll stop watching anime altogether. Who knows. There's always something to write.
This blog also achieved 150k views earlier this month. This is a pretty nice improvement. This year has been great so far. Thanks to you, all of you readers and the bots. Without you this blog won't get as far as this. Here's to another year full of madness ramblings and shitty review of animu/manga/vidya~~!
I want to write about The Walking Dead which is recently become one of my favorite series and because it's fun to talk about. My first encounter with the franchise was when I stumbled upon the game titled "The Walking Dead Episode 1" around five months ago. The title made me interested but I still wasn't sure what to expect. I found out it was developed by Telltale, which is one of the few developers that still actively developing games with adventure genre.
"So what?" I thought, "Probably it's just a boring point 'n click adventure just like those thousand adventure games created using AGS but with prettier graphics and maybe a bit zombies to spice it up". Little did I know that 'boring' was the most wrong word to describe The Walking Dead.
I tried the game. My first impression was it kinda feels like those RPG that featured choices in the conversation, except without the RPG elements. But then it turns out to be more like an interactive movie. Interactive movie with a good story. Once I got to the story without wasting time I got absorbed to its world and I unconciously put myself into the main character's shoes. Every choices you make will determine the course of the story. Sometimes it made me feel like a shit when I had to choose to save only one person and the other died horribly.
Oh yeah the story. So the story is like any other game with zombies, there's suddenly a zombie outbreak in the city and you as the main character has to make your way to the safety zone. The difference is you are not a government agent with powerful arsenal shoved in your ass. You are not a guy who is trained to fight zombies. You don't have any clue how to stop the infection. You're just a run-of-the-mile guy who has to fight in order to avoid zombies eating your brain.
Basically in this the-end-of-the-world scenario, your objective is to survive for another day. You must find a place to sleep, scavenge for food, and defend yourself against zombies or maybe other human. Also, you have a little girl to take care of. Some people in a certain image board jokingly called this game A Dad Simulator. That's not pretty far off.
The game is divided into 5 parts each called an "episode". The choices you made during an episode will carry the effect to the next and so on. For myself, my favorite episodes are 2 and 3. The tension and emotional feeling in those episode are the best.
Just recently I finished the last episode and got to the ending. It was yesterday, I found myself watching the credit roll with nearly watery eyes. Yes, it is one of those tearjerker ending. It also ended with a possibly sequel hook.
I recommend this game to those who want a game with good 10-hour storyline. Do not expect complex gameplay because you won't get it from this game. The graphics style is nice and works with the game overall, since it was based on comic books. It's probably one of my favorite game in this year.
(Oh yeah, I also follow the TV series. I already watched season 1 and 2, and still waiting for S3 to finish before starting it. I don't like cliffhanger)
It's over. After 110 episodes of space battles and political affairs, I finaly finished watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It is really, really great. Not even a second wasted in this show that I didn't enjoy. It is definitely the very definition of classic masterpiece.
The Witch's House (Majo no Ie) is a horror adventure game made with RPG Maker. It's pretty much similar to another horror adventure game Ib, might as well call it Ib's spiritual successor. Play it in the night with lights off.
The story follows Viola, a 13 year old girl who got lost in a forest on her way to her friend's house. She found a house which is belong to a witch, hence the game's title. I won't spoil the plot but one thing: there is a twist at the true ending (there are two endings).
The game involves much more jump scare than Ib. I admit I was terrified several times, not only because the jump scare but also because of the atmosphere. The atmosphere in The Witch's House is nicely done with the music and sound effects. Also, there's much much more deaths in this game than Ib, which some of them are pretty gruesome.
Anyone who likes Ib must try The Witch's House. I'm not saying the latter is better than the former, they're just similarly good and has similar experience too. I hope there will be many more games like this in the future. I can use a good scare once in a while.
The game is a freeware, made by Fummy in RPG Maker XV. The english translation was done by vgperson (she is also the one who translated Ib) and can be downloaded here. She also has a very cool tumblr.

Can't wait for BDrip, or at least a camrip. It will be oh so glorious.sauce
Okay, a Chuunikoi episode that focused on love letter and later a confession of a man. I expect it to be uninteresting but I was wrong. That confession scene reminds me of Onani Master Kurosawa. Haha.
I saw a certain post on kz Livetune fanpage about writing a blog post with the theme 'Tell the world about Livetune' so I guess I'll try my luck. Not really up for contest or anything though, just want to share my love for Livetune.
As far as my experience with Vocaloid music goes, I've heard many great songs produced by various Vocaloid producers in many genres. All of these producers are talented men and women who pour all their hearts' content into the songs they are making. Some of them managed to grab my attention from the very first time I heard those songs sung by the virtual diva Hatsune Miku. They are ryo (supercell), minato, and of course kz (Livetune). I'll talk about the former two in other time, for now I wish to tell you, the world, about Livetune.
That was in the mid year of 2009 when I sat in front of my computer, clicked some links I found on net. One of those links happened to be a download link to Vocaloid song compilations. I've already heard about this Vocaloid thing but all I knew was it just a program to make songs and I have never listened to one before.
So I proceed to download the file and unzipped it. Then I played all the songs available from the compilations. Those songs were all pretty awesome, some songs caught me in awe, such as Melt and Packaged. These songs just couldn't get out of my head for a few days. So I ventured to find more of songs like those which I just listened to. Little did I know that it was the beginning of my long journey in the realm of Vocaloid.
Other than Vocaloid songs, kz is also doing some songs for human singers. Probably the most popular collaboration is ClariS. Actually, kz was already made songs for them since they were still went by the name Alice & Clara. One song that I still remember dearly till this day is Kimi ni Yume wo Miyou. Other songs included Drop, irony and nexus.
He also contributed in a doujin album TamStar Records Collection Vol.0 which he composed two songs each sung by Yun*chi and Yanagi Nagi (God bless her). The song empty which sung by Nagi ended up in my top ten Nagi's songs post which I made back then in 2011. Livetune's first single Kocchi muite Baby/Yellow is a split single with another one of my favorite producer, ryo. Those two songs are the theme songs of 2nd Project Diva game.
At the beginning of this year, Livetune release another hit Tell Your World which was also the theme song of Google Chrome CM. The CM was phenomenal and it also served as a way to introduce Miku to the world. The song are very catchy yet it also has a deep meaning. It is probably my favorite kz song ever now. The more recent single with Miku on vocal is Weekender Girl which also very catchy. Another recent single is Transfer but this one is with Megumi Nakajima on vocal. The PV for this single is rather unique.
The things I like about kz Livetune's songs are the upbeat tunes which usually are very catchy and easy to listen. However I also enjoy the slower one. Like I said my favorite song is Tell Your World but before it was Last Night Good Night. Whenever I listen to it, the song somehow always touches something in me especially on that high notes. Tell Your World made me feel like that too. I swear there are chills up my spine when I get to that part of the song.
Well I could really go on and on about this matter however my hands are rather grew tired to type more so I'll end this post right here. My goodness, now that I look at it this post is quite long for a mere fanboy's rambling. Oh yeah, I think I'll write about other Vocaloid producers in another time. A bit music post on this blog won't hurt. Now I shall take my leave, if you excuse me.
I'm sure the data gathered from this video is invaluable to humanity's plan against BETA
Muv-Luv Total Eclipse once again proved me that it is indeed the best comedy anime of the season. Alien where? Let's go to onsen at once! Just forget for a second that humanity is doomed and there is a plan to annihilate mankind from the face of the earth on the way! Who cares about that when there are bunch of hot military babes in bikini in front of your eyes!
No wonder we are losing this war.
That was a pretty damn good episode. I kinda like the ending where Rikka didn't suddenly become smarter and get a good score, but instead the overall score became lower. It's more believable that way.
I cracked myself up in the divorce scene between Yumeha and Touka. Kids these days are more mature than they used to be. Also, I didn't expect Dekomori to be a prodigy kid type. Fortunately her above average brain doesn't make her to be an annoying and cocky brat but instead a fun kid you like to play with. I'm not even a pedo.
Anyway, the club is saved thanks to Yuuta's effort. At least safe for now.
Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to start blogging an anime series starting from episode 4? I do. I am a faithful follower of 'three episode rule', so everytime I want to judge whether any show is worth watching I watch three episodes of it first.
So yeah Chuunikoi. I've heard a lot of people talk about how bitch Nibutani in episode 4. Of course by 'a lot of people' I mean a certain anime board from a certain imageboard. They described her like she just commited unpunished crime. They went rage or whatsoever over her behaviour. I was preparing to hate her when I started watching the episode. However things were different.
I don't find her act towards the chuunis akin to bitchness. I mean, she was a chuuni too several months ago. But now she grows up. A certain feeling of remorse and embarassment were left in its place. So it's okay if she tries to hide her embarassing past to moves on with the flow of life. I rather find her to be more interesting in term of character when her past self as 'Mori Summer' was revealed.
Now with the cast of Chuuni characters completed, can we expect more hilarity and cuteness overload from Chuunikoi?
You want a post about Kara no Shoujo 2? Here, have this post about Kara no Shoujo 2.
Quote from vndb:
Prewar-era Japan.
Deep in the snowy mountains of northwestern Japan, there exists a settlement called Hitogata, the Village of Dolls. On the night of the festival honoring the clay idol Hinna-sama, a girl is murdered.
The villagers all blame Hinna-sama's curse. One outside the faith has joined in the festival of Hinna-sama, and brought the painful death of the curse down upon themself.
October, Showa 32.
Two years have passed since Touko Kuchiki's abduction from her hospital room.
Reiji Tokisaka's younger sister saves a man who had tried to commit suicide.
He, too, is the most recent victim of "Hinna-sama's curse"——
As the country moves ever closer toward war, Reiji Tokisaka begins his investigation, clinging desperately to the hope that Touko can be saved——
And at the same time, a strange religious group said to have dissolved six years ago begins to move again, to put a certain plan into motion——
The curse will be carried out, whether by the gods or by human hands.
It is implied that the sequel takes place after True End of the first game. You know how that one ended right? It is confirmed that once again we will be assumed the role of Reiji. Some characters will make comeback as well.
So here's what I expect from the sequel:
1. Touko.
2. More bizzare murders.
3. More suffering. Guaranteed.
4. More asshole antagonists. You know I genuinely hated the antagonists from the first one with every litre of my blood. I expect the same if not more from this.
5. Touko. The one and only perfect waifu material.
6. Everyone's and their grandmas' favorite imouto Yukari is alive at the end of game. Who am I kidding.
7. English release. This is the most important. Although I can try (and of course failed) to read the japanese version with the help of software and a little piece of my brain cell, the experience is just not the same as reading the english one because of more understanding.
8. Did I mention Touko already?
The release date for Kara no Shoujo 2 is February 8th 2013. Let's hope the world won't end at December because I need to read this. For the time beings, have these teaser pictures.

I've seen many negotiators in the past, they usually use all kind of dirty tricks up their sleeves to seal the deal. Enter Roger Smith, a negotiator AND a giant robot pilot. When his negotiation has gone awry, he calls a giant robot out of nowhere and punches things until everything goes the way he wants.
The Big O is what I called the bastard child of japanese anime and western cartoon tropes. It sets in fictional city which is pretty much a Film Noir New York City. Roger Smith is pretty much Bruce Wayne with giant robot. He pilots a Megadeus (name of the robot) and defeats monster of the week. When he's not busy destroying the city, he is a gentleman who works as a negotiator. There's also a deadpan android, Charlie's Angel and a guy who loves tomato. But let's just leave at that.
We have come to terms
Despite the unexplainable ending, I like this show. See, I've never once find people talking about The Big O and I generally have no idea about this show except from what I read in the first volume of the manga (I have it in my collection). All I know about it were the neo-noir tone and Dorothy, the android girl. So I was really surprised when I found it pretty enjoyable. The plot at the end escaped me but the episodic content was the cream of the crop. Oh and one more thing, the soundtrack is lovely and so is the ending song. Overall I give this anime a solid 9/10.
What happens when two male seiyuu play vidya together? A lot of laughter and dirty jokes. Especially if one of them is Tomokazu Sugita.
Tokyo Encounter is a show where two of my favorite seiyuu, Sugita and Yuuichi Nakamura, play video games together and eat snacks. They also do all kind of nonsense talk and there's a segment in between transtition of one game to another in which they compete with each other in a challenge (e.g Guess from what game the playing music is). Sometimes they invite other seiyuu as well (even girls!) to play with them.
They play all kind of consoles and games from the old ones like NeoGeo or Famicom to the more recent one as well. The genre of the games they played varies from RPG, beat 'em up, fightan, hell they even play Love Plus+ in that one episode. And Sugita seems pretty hardcore in Love Plus.
Seriously, if you like Nakamura and Sugita, and you love video games, you have to watch Tokyo Encounter. | 1 | en |

I'm not exactly sure what your comment means, but it sounds like the poster yesterday who promoted the rights of the "indigenous English and French" Here's what I asked him:
Is runner Mo Farrah indigenous English? How about Michael Marks of Marks and Spencer? Actors Lenny Henry, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley? London mayor Sadiq Khan? Was Benjamin Disraeli?
And the French - is former President Nicolas Sarkozy indigenous? How about his former cabinet minister Rachida Dati, or actors Jean Reno and Isabelle Adjani, footballer Zinedine Zidane, former prime ministers Édouard Balladur and Manuel Valls, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo? Was Alfred Dreyfus indigenous?
That's what Macron was saying. 'There is no single French culture or art. Our culture is a river, a river with an infinite number of tributaries.' | 0 | en |
You are such a fucking faggot, there's no need for references for something that can't really be reliably cited. Even if there was a sociological study on people who have APD, coke drinkers, and cocaine users, it wouldn't be very reliable because there's no way to tell if people are lying. Fuck off you beaurocratic official peice of pedophile, and that citing and copyright shit has got to go. I refused to make bibliographies in high school for one reason: I never claimed that the work was mine, and I shouldn't have to claim who's it was because it's self-explanitory that I didn't make it since I didn't claim to have done so. | 1 | en |

The author showed her bias in stating that there has been no serious breach by North Korea.

The human semen is composed mainly of seminal plasma, which is the fluid secreted by the accessory male reproductive organs (the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland). The bulbourethral organs glands also contribute with a small amount of viscous mucus, which gives semen its texture and cohesion. Semen, as thus, is just a composition of body fluids, and washing your hands with soap is a perfectly acceptable and through way to clean it off.
Quick Suggestions:
Masturbate with a sock or glove handy, so that when it comes time to ***, ejaculate into the said sock/glove without making a mess.
Masturbate in the shower or bathroom and *** into a drain. Really easy way to avoid a mess. | 1 | en |
My 67-year-old wife is in extremely poor health. I spend much of my time worrying about her, and worrying about how I am going to pay for her medical bills if you get your way and ACA is repealed. Even with Medicare and a supplemental Blue Cross policy, we still had over $9000 in out of pocket medical expenses. THAT'S is the sort of thing that seniors are thinking about.

FOX may be "turning" slightly, when they are not getting behind this, as well as the Seth Rich/Hannity thing.
Apparently a lot of sponsors are getting tired of the BS, and willing to move their business away from unsavory characters..
I personally felt something was up, when around a year ago Meghan Kelly "went after" a Republican politician on something during an interview....very "un-Fox" like..
When you are "losing" your attack blonds on FOX, well.....

This is great news for the principals of human rights and participatory democracy.
Those who can, should stand up for these things, and Canada is well-positioned to take a strong stand.
Human rights don't recognize national borders and those who believe that all people are entitled to the basic freedoms should step forward and not be cowed by those who would abuse their fellow citizens.
Let's name names and defend human rights for everyone, everywhere.
Well done, Minister Freeland.

Indeed, people buy experiences. The young buy college degrees and the old buy prescription drugs and all sorts of tests. Just think, if, on average, women died as young as they did before the twentieth century, there would not be as many post menopausal ones who, with great glee, spend on bone scans and mammograms! And their husbands... so attached to prostate exams.
Furthermore, if all of us who did go to college had done something sensible like aim to be administrators of big health systems, medical supply companies, pharmaceuticals and insurance firms, we could be unconcerned about Trump's budget, too! | 0 | en |
