Lust Connection
|
IMDB rating: 3.90 Plot: When buxom Susan gets killed, the only suspect is husband Rick. He soon admits cheating on her with various women from Internet fantasy chat rooms. It all started when buxom Sasha wanted to strip for him via web-cam. Alas, bra-less Sasha then found his address expecting the same service, while Rick's wife was shopping. The second woman was The Stranger, who wanted sex in a gym and later threatened in vain to expose Rick if they break up. The third woman was park worker Beth who wanted sex in the wild. The fourth woman had sex with Rick in a hotel's bridal sweet, letting her friend, no less than Susan's identical twin, Jenny, secretly peep from the closet. The fifth woman Cora was slightly less buxom than Sasha, but actually wanted Rick's wife home in another room. The sixth woman "Desiree" wanted him in a blindfold. The seventh and last woman Molly pretended delivering Rick pizza. Susan's identical twin, Jenny, eventually reveals she became "Desiree" to trick Rick into sex. Rick wants to turn her in, but she pulls her gun out. Luckily, the detective forgot his pen. |

Godhead: Who Is The Truth?
Matthew Henry said, "...it is a very great privilege to know the truth, to know the particular truths which we are to believe, in thier mutual dependencies, and connections, and the grounds and reasons of our belief; - to know what is truth and what proves it to be so...The knowing, entertaining, and believing, of this truth does actually make us free, free from prejudices, mistakes, and false notions, than which nothing more enslaves and entangles the soul, free from the dominion of lust and passion, and restores the soul to the government of itself, by reducing it into obedience to its Creator."
For me, Jesus of Nazareth is The Truth (1 John 5:20) and the Tenets of His Doctrine, the truths.
To you, who is The Truth?
Jesus is the Truth, the personification of the truth. John 14:6.

you seem to be delusional, and probably have been subject to considerable brainwashing. Your truth is nothing but mythology, examine it and see. Careful reasoning with a strong dose of doubt is what you should use.

There is such a thing as an objective fact; however, there is no such thing as objective truth.

To me, the Truth, is the Truth. If God, (or whatever you choose to call It), is essential Unity, Infinite, Eternal, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent, then there can be nothing else, by defenition. Logically, if there is an Infinite thing, then, by defenition, there can not be anything, outside of that thing. Also, logic dictates that what is Infinite, is present in Its totality at all points within It. So, God, being Infinite, is totally present everywhere. Truely, there is not a spot where God is not, including within you, and within me. To me, that is the Truth. Some of the various aspects of this Infinite, and Omnipresent essence is: Life, Light, Love, Power, Peace, Joy, and Beauty. Anything that expresses those divine qualities, is partaking of the Truth.
Thanks for asking. Namaste!
Go in Peace to Love and Serve.

Jesus.
Why do so many people who read the bible not get it? Jesus said to love your neighbor, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick. Each one of these we should do literally but also spiritually!
Jesus is the only way to Heaven - That Is THE Truth!

Getting A Head: from top down
- God (Grace) is the head of Christ(is the end of the law)
- Christ is the head of every 'man' (not head of child)
- man is the head of the woman (the church)
Reconciled: is neither to Jesus nor to Christ, but to God,
Niether to two Sons Jesus nor to false/true Christs arise,
And notably done "in Christ", but by and unto "that God";
that God(Light) which can only be seen by the born again,
and Who can only be accessed when in the true Christ.
Other wise, that God is invisible and inaccessible.
Highminded & double minded can't see nor access that,
since even grace of law/grace is division, and not peace.

How to make a two tier birthday cake?
Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help me, i am making my mother a 50th birthday cake and wanted to make a two tier one! As it would be for a party which is for around 100 people and i thought this would be easier rather than trying to find a big oven to fit a large single tier cake in, although i know not every one will eat the cake.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of sizes, i was thinking maybe 12" on the bottom and 10 or 8" on the top? I've looked through a lot of websites and youtube videos and heard a lot about fondant icing? But how do i apply this and is this the best icing to use for a birthday cake? Do i use frosting underneath, what is this? Ha, i thought it was just butter icing?
And now how to assemble the two tiers, i have seen a lot about cutting small layer out of the bottom cake and placing some kind of piping through to make sure the top cake doesn't sink in? I cannot remember what it was called though, maybe something starting with D? Am i correct in thinking that i would need to cover the bottom tier with the fondant icing first and then use the piping and apply the top cake?
If someone could help me i would be so grateful,and i'm sure my mum would too!!
Thanks. x
hi,
i like baking and yes, i think that you can use frosting for the rest, but fondant icing on the top of the bottom cake
diddy | Mar 15, 2010
You will need more than a small two tiered cake for 100 people. Your best bet would be to order a full sheet cake, which will serve 70 2x2 inch pieces. You can get one plain, and do all the icing and decorations yourself.
navymom | Mar 15, 2010
Fondant is easy, i use it pretty often. you can get the recipe on www.wilton.com. the site is full of recipes, project ideas & tips, etc. You do need to use icing between the fondant & icing, and buttercream icing is the best...also found on the site. as long as the cakes aren't mad heavy or super fluffy, you won't have a problem with one sinking deep into the other.
also, if you're having a problem with the fondant cracking (happens a lot in the dry winter air), mix crisco vegetable shortening in little by little.
hope i helped!!
ashes | Mar 15, 2010
the fondant icing is rather simple.........roll out to the size of the length+height and then the width+height. it is best to stick the fondant on with either icing or jam! roll it out really thin but be careful when lifting it because it tears. don't roll to many times because it will crack.
i would make a large square cake on the bottom and a smaller one on pillars on top of that covered in white icing and either a picture or writing on the top. then pipe round the edge wit the star shaped nozzle.
this method is pretty simple my 12 year old daughter made me a cake using this method,
happy making

The Draconian Conundrum?
This is a little short story I did for fun...Enjoy! BTW: This is copy-righted. Please don't steal this.
Dracia Camblla placed her head through the bars of the cage, letting her hands feel their ways toward her face. Her chestnut-brown hair was entangled with twigs and leaves, and her emerald eyes, which were now a misty green, searched for nothing as the busy people of Trytee bustled about. It was a strange environment for her; she never had stepped foot outside her home before, and now here she was, locked in a cage somewhere.
She was blind, yes, but she saw things people have never seen, and never will see by the rate of their technological progress. She saw dragons breathing putrid fire on a castle top, brave knights in their armor searching for their beloved, princesses of fairy tales with long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She heard the wisp of the wind as it sailed across great plains, a woman singing an old ballad from the days of yore, the silence before a storm. What she saw was beauty in its own master design, never ceasing to create such wonders the world had forgotten over time.
She still held her imagination firm even though she was kidnapped by a mysterious man. It was was of keeping her sanity, if that makes any sense. In order to survive and not think the worst of her given situation, she imagined she was somewhere far away where there were no people so cruel like her captor. Her captor....it sounded so foreign to her. In all her studies, she never has heard of a man kidnapping a little girl. Maybe it was for her own protection, like many other things such as reading and writing.
So, here Dracia, or as she likes to be called, Draci, was, sitting in her cage when she heard a voice call out a greeting. "Hail, Turget!" It was a man, and a pretty young one at that. His voice was strong, demanding, yet at the same time subjective to other voices. He had a sense of urgency to his pace, making a straight beeline for the captor who was presumably named Turget.
Turget raised his hand in the sign of a formal greeting, "May the Draconian Fire blaze in your heart."
"And yours."
Draci cocked her head in question; what is the Draconian Fire, and who is the mysterious man? Paying no heed to the girl, Turget continued on, "So..what'll it be?" He tugged on his short beard as if in thought, and tapped his foot in time with the music playing in the background. "The Dracia Waltz..." he murmured, recognizing the tune.
The customer walked around the cage, noting all the flaws and perfections of Draci mentally. After a few minutes of deep consideration, he straightened up, smoothing his jacket, and said, "I'd say 40 shackles. Nothing more."
Turget cursed under his breath; he knew there was no chance in bargaining, the customer knew what he wanted and wouldn't back down. "Oh, fine." He reluctantly agreed, shaking hands with the customer, who grinned mischeviously in satifaction.
A sudden jerk from the cage left Draci sprawling across the small area, and she could tell by the heavy breathing and grunting that some men were attempting to move the cage.CLICK! The caged prisoner heard the opening to the cage pop open, and before she knew what she was doing, Dracia dived out of there and sprinted to the nearest exit away from the men.
"Stop her!" she heard a voice screaming from across the room.
Before she had time to cross through the doorway, thick, strong arms wrapped around her waist and carried her away. The person who was carrying her was heading upstairs, she could tell, and was gaining speed as well as ground away from the crowd of people who screamed after them.
Grrr...dumb auto-correct thought that a word I put in there was innapropriate, and bloakced it out.
hmm its good, the word draconian reminds me of tracy hickman's dragonlance saga, so i can imagine this story very well, i like your description of the girl and everything
you have a good work here, keep it up !

How do I charge my Eclipse 180 mp3 player?
The manual state that all you have to do is turn the unit on and plug it into my computer's usb port. However, I have done this several times and it doesn't charge. I just bought this device and it has received no trauma or ill-treatment since it has came out of the package. This is the 180BL 8GB version. Also, if anybody has any insight into this situation; does anybody know if there are any different firmware versions available anywhere? This thing was terrible to figure out, and takes some time to maneuver in.

To mention, sharks and spurts are not the most terrible sea creatures... |

Senior at work always ridicules me!?
Hi there,
I am with an Organisation. And often feels very intimidated by my senior lady collegue. She always puts me down and ridicules me.
I observed the situation why she does it- and found that she feels I am not producing results at work and does this to push me.
I know that i should not take it personally, but however she has this bad habit of telling things about me to others. So, all other collegues below also 'shows faces' at me. Hence I feel very upset and ridiculed.
At times, i really wish like telling her off on the face=- 'Hey just mind your bloody business and stop pushing people around'! But fear of hurting her/ loosing my job as this my ricebowl.
How to tell her nicely/ act accordingly to reduce this tensions.
I am here for the past 11 months and always feel this!
Thanks!
Does she hold a position higher than you, if not then ask the manager to get her to mind her own business, because unless you are not meeting minimum quotas, then she has nothing to complain about. As she is making the work place hostile for you.

Chase | Feb 05, 2010
Just be the best you can be at your job. Keep an eye out for the things she does wrong and don't hesitate to let her know the things that she does wrong. Use your youth to your advantage. Tease her about being an old lady but in a cute way. Like, asking her if you could help her carry something because of her age she might not be able to handle it. Anything you can find on her just bring it up in a teasing way. See how she likes it. If she says something to you just remind her that she does the same thing to you. Then maybe you two can come to some type or agreement. You have to embarrass her in order for her to know how it feels. Always do it in a kidding way and make sure someone is there to hear you so she can't blame you for something you did not do.

Maybe you are getting it mixed up with "constructive criticism"!! In our day we listened to our elders!! That's why we are so "wise"!!LOL!!!! I hated the woman that broke me in when I worked at the BIA because she was so strict. I was young then and when I moved on to other jobs her teaching came in handy. I could write a business letter and do accounting like nobody's business!! Listen to her and maybe she will let up on you, she is trying to help you!!!

That is a very easy question. I'm a movie buff. I'm really into classics like Casablanca. I can't honestly say I've seen all of these movies, But I've seen quite a few of them.
No Country for Old Men
in my opinion, is not only the worst Oscar Winning Best Picture. But is one of the WORST movies I've ever seen in my life. That movie made no bit of since. The plot had more flaws than a loney toons cartoon.
There was no real point to the whole thing. The whole time it feels like you're being drawn into something that gonna blow your mind, but at the end, nothind. And don't even get me started on that ending. Usually when I see an ending that I don't uderstand, I have to figure it out by any means necessary. But when I saw that ending, I didn't even care. I was just glad it was over.
I like to study movies. So I usually watch any movie at least twice and it's usually better. So I watched it again. That movie was even worst the second time. They should've just named that movie Three Hours You'll Never Get Back. (It felt like ten)
Just my opinion though. I appologize for the rant. lol And if you actually liked that movie. To each his own. But not for me.

'LOTR: Return of The Cash' is pretty rank.
'How Green Was My Valley' famously beat 'Citizen Kane' to the Best Picture nod that year.
But hands down the cheesiest, flimsiest movie ever to get best picture has to Rocky. I don't have a problem with people loving the movie - I mean how much sheer joy would be lost if people couldn't do their Stallone impressions by shouting "Adrieennneeee!!!" and lolling their head from side to side - but it's not art, it's not well acted and it has all the depth of a Lifetime movie.
What's all the more disturbing is not only did Rocky beat Scorsese's Taxi Driver that year, it also beat 'All The President's Men' and the Sidney Lumet-directed 'Network'.
Rocky is a byword for big, dumb cheesy movie gets lucky.

IMDB rating: 4.70 Plot: Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D.—led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first. |

Does shutting down Big 3 put our national security at risk?
It's easy to say "let 'em fail", but what will happen to our national security (especially since we are still at war) if we lose our manufacturing capabilities? The auto companies played a crucial role during WWII. If we just let them shut down now, this would have serious consequenses for our national defense. I personally don't think the Big 3 should get any bailout money unless bad management gets the heave-ho and new management and the UAW renegotiate their unsustainable compensation packages. The times, they are a-changin'.
As an auto worker I am appalled at the ignorance and disinformation being displayed in regard to this situation. FYI: in the last UAW-GM contract, the UAW already gave GM the ability to hire new workers at $17 and a number of other concessions. The Japanese companies operating in the US pay wages comparable to our present wages. Their savings is in legacy costs. They are so new in this country that they have no retirees to pay. They also don't have health insurance costs with their Japanese retirees, we are the only industrial nation without some kind of national health care. So their nation's health care system pays retiree health care.
As for vehicles, many Americans are still parroting the old 1970's
refrain that the. Big Three are not building the kind of cars that Americans want. We have rushed dozens of new gas efficient and hybrid vehicles to market. We are almost ready to sell electric cars. And, don't start thinking we have models people want but lousy quality. Toyota set an industry record last year for recalls. Today, US quality rivals the best in the world. The reason the bailout is necessary is because of the credit crunch and the public's reluctance to make major purchases in tough economic times, we are not able to sell the cars we have built. The Japanese automakers are suffering the same as we are.
Now, someone had the nerve to suggest that my wages be cut since anyone can do my job. I am a skilled trades worker with a college degree and I have finished a four year apprenticeship. Unlike "Joe the Plumber", I finished my apprenticeship and have my journeyman's card. If I worked outside the auto industry, in my trade, I would earn more than any $20 an hour.
The American automakers need the bailout to get through these tough economic times that they were in no way responsible for. If the auto industry leaves America, in order to buy a car you will have to give money to someone who may not like us very much.
James L | Nov 17, 2008
Obviously you don't know the process......if we let them fail, they won't just up and leave..
more than likely the debt holders continue operations and keep the company going (with major changes in management of course)

gcbtrading | Nov 17, 2008
I say pay the UAW employees a normal wage like everyone else, say $15/hour should be about right for unskilled labor. $20/hour for more skilled personell is ok, but this ridiculous $35/hour for doing something a 12 year old could easily do is insane. Who can stay in business like that?

Our national security would be at risk only for having all those United Autoworkers union members out on the loose causing trouble.

Actually it does. Until this Country gets its manufacturing base back, we cannot pull out of our financial woes. Should the Big 3 go under, you will see this country spiral into a depression folks, it is just that simple. Yes the UAW has their "claws" into these companies. Until these companies can operate on a level playing field, they will not survive........with or without a bridge loan............LOAN people, LOAN, not a bail out.

Not giving 25 billion dollars to the auto companies is not "letting them fail". They will find a solution by themselves. The majority of the country sees what is being done with the bank bailout money and is against bailing out the auto makers. Don't believe the scare tactics that are being put out there.

Yes I would say it does,and if they go bankrupt and try to reorganize who will buy a vehicle from a bankrupt company that may not be able to honor the warranty?
toledojeeper | Nov 17, 2008
Automobile manufacturing is a vital component of our national defense. Only a few generations ago America was shocked into World War 2 by the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. American automakers responded by turning their industrial might toward the defense of our nation. During World War 2 General Motors was a major supplier of US military hardware, supplies and equipment. Putting these resources in the hands of Japanese, Koreans, or Germans makes the United States extremely vulnerable; both during wartime and during peacetime.
Dmytrovich | Nov 17, 2008
Just like the airline industry, let them figure it out themselves. Survival of the fittest. Bail out the people not the industry.
Light rails removed in L.A. by automakers to sell more cars. How irresponsible. How costly. How unethical. They deserve to fail miserably.
Write your congress and senate. Here is Nancy's address.

LUCY | Jul 11, 2009
I love movies that have witty & clever dialogue. So my picks would have to be Party Monster, Jawbreaker, Heathers, and Hard Candy (the movie with Ellen Page). If I wanted to watch a surreal, fantasy movie I would go with Pan's Labyrinth or The Virgin Suicides. I like your taste in movies.
Baby G | Jul 11, 2009

Ricochet
|
IMDB rating: 5.70 Plot: Rookie Los Angeles cop Nick Styles is at a Los Angeles street fair, where hit man Earl Talbot Blake pulls a double cross on some drug dealers, killing four men. Minutes later, Nick shoots Blake in the knee, and Blake is grabbed by Nick's partner and best friend Larry Doyle. Nick becomes the focus of the media, thanks to an amateur cameraman's footage of Nick disarming Blake. Over the next few years, Nick's career takes off: he's offered a job in the district attorney's office, and his hip media style keeps him in the public eye. Nick marries a woman named Alice and they go on to have two daughters named Lisa and Monica. While Blake is in prison, he vows revenge on Nick. When Blake comes up for parole, he orchestrates a bloody escape — which includes faking his own death. Blake doesn't want Nick dead. He just wants Nick to suffer in spades. He wants to ruin Nick's life as completely as possible, and then have Nick sent to prison for murder so Nick will know how Blake feels. Blake begins his vendetta by killing city councilman U. B. Farris and planting evidence to make everyone think Nick and Farris are running an underage pornography ring. Blake then kidnaps Nick, forces him to take drugs and have sex with a prostitute, videotapes the whole thing, and then releases Nick. Nick tells everyone that it was Blake who kidnapped him, but everyone refuses to believe Nick because everyone thinks Blake is dead. That night, Blake breaks into Nick's house, and makes a threatening videotape with Lisa, Monica, and an ax in it, but Blake didn't actually do anything to Lisa and Monica. Nick is then suspended from the DA's office, with everyone thinking that Nick is mentally ill because he keeps saying that Blake is still alive. Blake then begins the final phase of his vendetta — he kills Larry and frames Nick for it. Blake also links Nick to misappropriation of public funds, specifically, the funds he's supposed to be raising for a children's center in a building at the base of the Watts tower. Nick is forced to turn to his childhood friend, gang leader Odessa, for help in clearing his name and stopping Blake once and for all. |

Why do my cats shake?
Three of my cats - Secret, Vido, and Ricochet - seem to shake a lot. They're outside right now, but even when they were inside where it's warm they would shake. Secret is the oldest, and one of the older brothers of the other two. His brother is perfectly fine, but Secret seems to shake a lot. Sometimes he's just shaking, other times he tenses up and trembles. I brought him inside today and he still shakes. He's always done this, and he's always been sort of afraid of people unless we bring him in. Vido, the middle sister, was really loud and would shake a lot when she was born. Sometimes she does it now, but it's usually when I pick her up, which is hard to do because she doesn't really like people unless she's inside. Ricochet, the youngest, shakes a lot too. She was born near the end of summer, so she couldn't have been cold, but she always shakes. Ricochet isn't really afraid of people, either. And I just realized today that all of them are siblings and not half-siblings. Their mother and father, who are brother and sister, never shakes. All of Mittens's kittens, the mother of their half-siblings and their aunt, don't shake.
All three of them have short fur, and it's pretty odd colored. Secret has short brownish-orangish-skin-coloredish fur. It's hard to describe. Vido has dark silver short fur with dark gray stripes. Ricochet has black and brown short fur that really makes her stand out.
Is the shaking genetic or something? Nothing has ever really happened to them that hasn't happened to the others. All of them are outside with the others, and none of them are really attacked by anything. Well, Jet sometimes goes after Secret and Prowler, but they always end up fine. Vido is never attacked by the other females, and Ricochet is never attacked by her littermates and mother. Is it genetic or no?
I'm afraid Ghat taking them to the vet is out of the question because as soon as I asked my bitch of a mother, she immediately said no because she's too fugging cheap to 'waste money on a shaking cat' so I'm apparently the only one that actually gives half a damn about them. I care about them more than I care about my own family. So yeah... I really want to take one of tem to the vet, but considering I'm only 14, I can't.
By the way, Secret was born maybe two or three years ago, Vido maybe a year or two, and Ricochet last year.
If both parents had the recessive trait for whatever disease is causing them to shake, it could very well be genetic. I believe that your cats have the trait for some kind of neurological disease. Ask your vet if they can do test to see exactly which one it is.

my cat shakes alot to lol i think thats normal for them lol my cat was out side yesterday and it was 38 digress lol
Evey | Jan 12, 2010
I dont want to scare you but I had a kitty who shook sometimes as he was just laying on the couch. I never thought anything of it. he was a strictly indoor cat and was 1 year and 2 months old. He all of the sudden got VERY SKINNY and very sick so I took him in asap...and he passed away that day. I had to put him to sleep cause it turns out he had FIV, feline infectious perotonitis. It only occurs in 10% of cats that are 1-2 years old. I think you should get their shaking checked out because my doctor said i should have told him about it. Good luck
