This morning amongst the usual 14yr+ teenager girl pairs taking slut pics of themselves in the bridge I saw what seemed to me two girls that couldnt be older than 12-in fact they kind of looked like they were 9 if it wasnt for the breasts on one of them- also taking slutty pix presenting their butt to the camera in a sports bra.
Sadder was the fact that from a distance they looked more like a couple of upstanding piglets with bright tights.

Old but gold. He went out with the style.

Quote:Mr. Grabher wants his licence plate back.

A Dartmouth man is furious that after 25 years the Nova Scotia Registry of Motor Vehicles has cancelled his personalized licence plate with his last name Grabher on it, following a single complaint.

Lorne Grabher is of German heritage. He said he bought the plate as a gift for his father's 65th birthday. His father passed away in the 1990s and the plate has remained in the family.

Last December, he received a letter telling him the plate would be cancelled in January because the public cannot be expected to know it is his last name and "can misinterpret it as a socially unacceptable slogan."

This story made me LOL so I looked into it a little further. Apparently there are 2,966 words banned on Nova Scotia license plates. This fun link allows you to type stuff in and see if it's banned or not and also scroll through the list. There are some pretty amusing ones on there.

There are almost 3,000 words and combinations of letters describing race, sexual orientation, profanity, body parts, religious and political affiliations that are banned from appearing on personalized licence plates in the province, CBC News has learned....

Many of the banned plates have a religious base. Some of them include:

ALLAH
GOD
HINDU
JESUS
JEW
PEW
PRAYS
PRIEST

Also on the list is the acronym 'IXOYE,' which stands for Jesus Christ Son of God and Saviour in Greek. That was the licence plate requested by Rhonda Lynn Cormier-Clarke, a Nova Scotia woman who wanted to get the letters on the back of her Fiat.

Her request was denied by the Registry of Motor Vehicles, prompting Cormier-Clarke to complain the province was infringing on her right to religious freedom.

Licence plates that have a political connotation appear to have also been banned. Some of these include:

IRA
MAOIST
PREMIER
TORY
NDPER
WEH8NDP
WEH8PCS

HESHE and HIMHER are banned, but not SHEMALE.

In honor of Quintus Curtius I'm doing a boneless leg of lamb in the slow cooker today with wine ($10 Markstone Napa merlot from Trader Joe's, been pounding a lot of it lately), onions, garlic, carrots, celery, tomato paste and fresh rosemary and thyme. The lamb was still frozen when I put all the components in the insert to marinate overnight -- so I didn't get to brown it first, so this will also be a test whether absence of the Maillard reaction yields inedible results. Going to serve as a post-leg day meal with polenta and some broiled rapini.

WNB. She sounds like she's high or coming down something. She's clearly not all there and it's not because she just woke up.

Guy filming has the patience of a saint as I would've called the police in 45 seconds instead of asking her to leave 25 times.

And LOL at the woman trying to find out if she's being cheated on when she asks: "Have you been here before?"

And the cops come, and she starts saying "cops" instead of cop:

Amount of Turks in video comments declaring that it was a complete lie or that muslims will dominate the world is staggering.

Interesting is that movie is scheduled to be released in USA in April 17th, but it premiered in Toronto on 9/11/2016.

Current movie score on imdb is 4.2/10, but with reviews being in majority positive. Can you guess why score is so low?

Good find, I hope someone does a write up of it on ROK or here in the forum.

My parents lived in Armenia for a while for work. I actually enjoyed it a lot, and found the women there to be really nice, friendly, and sweet. The Armenian genocide absolutely deserves attention, as it shows the true dangers of even secular Muslim nationalism against Christian minorities. This was modern history's first pogrom, and the Aremenians are still suffering from it today.

Interesting side note: allegedly quite a few German diplomatic and military observers took a keen interest in what was going on with the Armenians, and some theorize that the German ethnic relocations/attrocities of WW2 were in part inspired by what the Turks did with the Armenians.

I'm torn on this post. On the one hand, you're braising without a sear which isn't a braise. But on the other, I give props to a man that knows what the Maillard Reaction is.

I'm gonna have to think about this one before I give rep.

Since you missed out on the sear, brown the tops with the broiler at the end. Same shit but with different timing. You also need some beef base in there.

Ex-Army Sniper Takes Out Neighbor’s Home Intruder From Bedroom Window

Quote:Jeremy Elmore, a 42-year-old retired Army Sniper currently residing in El Paso, Texas, is being hailed a hero after he saved a neighborhood family from 3 violent home intruders late Tuesday evening.

Elmore, who retired from the Army at 41 after giving 21-years of service was spending the night home alone as his wife and 3 young children are visiting family members in Indiana.

According to Elmore, he wasn’t quite ready to go to sleep when he retired to his bedroom around 1:15 AM- so he decided to engage in one of his favorite activities – breaking down and cleaning one of his firearms. The firearm that Elmore decided to break down and clean was his M24 Sniper Riffle (officially referred to as the M24 Sniper Weapon System).

At approximately 1:50 AM – after cleaning and reassembling the rifle, Elmore rested it on the sill of his bedroom window to adjust its scope. While adjusting the scope it unintentionally landed on one of his neighbor across the street’s open windows; Elmore told police and reporters that he was amazed at what he saw happening inside. Elmore told local ABC affiliate reporter Karen Lodestone, “I honestly thought I was dreaming hallucinating at first – it took over a minute for the situation to fully register in my brain”.

What Elmore saw through the high-powered scope on his riffle was – his neighbors, Fredrick and Lydia Cole tied to chairs in their upstairs family-room. The couple’s 2-children Douglas (11-years-old) and Daniel (6-years-old) were sitting near their mother – also tied to kitchen-style chairs.

According to Elmore, the mother and children had what looked to be duct-tape around their mouths and 3 masked-intruders appeared to be focusing primarily on Fredrick Cole. The 3 masked-intruders were holding handguns and were acting in a very violent manner – often destroying the Cole’s property or striking Fredrick Cole in the face with their pistols.

Things seemed to be escalating quickly at the Cole residence and Elmore used his bedroom telephone to call 911. After notifying authorities, Elmore continued to monitor the situation across the street. According to Elmore, while waiting for the police to arrive things continue to escalate rapidly at the Cole residence and he was greatly concerned for the family’s safety. Elmore told reporters that his military training and instinct kicked in and he knew that he had to do something to intervene.

Elmore proceeded to load his rifle with the custom 7.62 x 51mm ammunition and stationed himself at his bedroom window. As Elmore continued to watch the situation unfold across the street, the home intruders became increasingly more violent. As one of the intruders held his handgun (later identified as a .45 caliber Taurus 1911) to Mrs. Cole’s head – Elmore took the first shot from his riffle immediately striking his intended target.

According to Elmore and members of the Cole family – the home intruder instantly fell to the floor dropping his weapon in the process. The remaining 2-home intruders were visibly stunned and confused by the incident and gave Elmore enough time to fire 2 additional rounds striking both remaining intruders before they had an opportunity to retaliate.

Police arrived shortly after Elmore’s intervention and discovered 2 of the 3 home-intruders dead upon their arrival. The surviving intruder – since identified as Charles L. Brooke was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital and has since been arrested and booked into a county jail.

Among those singing praise for Elmore’s heroic actions are the members of the Cole family who have told reporters they owe their lives to Elmore and will never be able to thank him enough or fully express their gratitude for the retired Army Sniper.



Police are still investigating the home invasion, however, during a brief press-conference, told members of the media that they believe the invasion was motivated by a now-defunct business deal Fredrick Cole had been involved in throughout mid-2016. They believe the intruders intended to harm the Cole family and are grateful for Elmore’s intervention.

Only saw your reply afterward -- forgot to mention earlier that I did use about 10 oz of beef broth. I actually did think about throwing the leg under a broiler quickly after the quasi-braise too. But when I tasted it about 8 hours in, i could tell it was turning out a little dry (as I half expected for a boneless cut..). So I skipped the broiler and instead gave it a hit of umami by straining the cooking liquid into a saucepan, adding a splash of balsamic and reducing to a velvety, unctuous sauce. (Thickened with a shot of cornstarch)

All in all came out pretty damned good, but next time would brown the leg up front, and for a dish like this would throw in the oven in my Le Creuset if possible.

That sniper story was funny, but I get the distinct impression that the testimony on the order of events was quickly run through a lawyer or at least a sympathetic deputy before it reached a police report much less the media.

Guys I have huge problem with computer and I wonder if anyone can give me tips how to handle it.

I use program called My Lockbox to store files that I don't want to accidentally delete or to hide them from other users (noting scary, but my practice these last few years). That program encrypts and hides files in special folder.

Today for some reason I cannot open program. I click on icon and nothing happens. There is also no process in windows task messenger regarding that program.

Yesterday I just opened it once to see contents of one of subfolders in it and that's it. I didn't delete anything.

That' pretty horrifying.

Next step would be to uninstall/reinstall, but I don't know if that's an option for this lockbox program.

Trump should invite that sniper to the White House and give him a Medal of Honor. Absolutely amazing.

This article brings some questions to mind:

why, WHYYYY.... are schools, school zones, school busses etc.. more sacrosanct than the Tomb of Jesus when it comes to onerous safety laws?

Do children really run around on the streets that often during school hours? I understand, perhaps, the dropoff/pickup time frame, but even then, what exactly does that extra 5mph difference do between 25 and 20mph? Why not just make it 5mph, or 2?

Why are school buses yellow and special? If I have 5 kids in a minivan as a parent, do I get to have fancy lights stopping traffic IN BOTH DIRECTIONS because I'm picking up/dropping off my kids?

Why are school buses these ridiculous yellow tanks? Why don't they just contract out regular charter busses and put a school bus sign on it? That's what they do in Europe, and it makes sense since the operators can then use the buses for other uses during the rest of the year like tourism, etc... There's no way that school districts are making efficient use of those ugly, gas guzzling monstrocities that can be used for only one purpose.

That is all. Thanks for sharing.
