It really perturbs me when it comes to the criminals in the financial industry.
Take a look
A 'Social Networking' Stock Has Exploded 25,000% In A Few Days, And It's Not Even Clear If The Company Exists
The company's stock, which the folks at ZeroHedge first alerted us to, has gone from $0.10 on June 17 to $14.71 as of Wednesday's close. At its current stock price, the company's market cap is $4.29 billion.
This is a gain of more than 24,000%. For some perspective, Apple, one of the most successful companies and stocks of the last generation, is up about 18,000% since it went public in 1980.
But there is, as you could imagine, a slight problem with CYNK: It's not clear if there's any value to it.
Crumbs investor: How I plan to save bakery
Crumbs secured financing from a joint venture between Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam Enterprises and star of CNBC's "The Profit," and Fischer Enterprises-a prelude to its ultimate goal of buying its assets out of bankruptcy and reopening.

"While I'm a fan of the cupcake, I don't believe that any business can make it singularly on one product and so the goal ultimately is really to have it carry multiple products whether it's pies, cookies, ice cream, cake, a variety of things because as things kind of move in and out of popularity, we want to be able to be nimble," he said in a "Power Lunch" interview Monday.
Trump Plaza in Atlantic City to close
Trump Plaza employs about 1,000 people, according to regulatory reports.
The seashore casino is one of the poorest performers in Atlantic City, which began the year with 12 casinos. Trump Plaza booked less than half its rooms in the first quarter of 2014, and had the lowest gaming revenue of any of the city's casinos in May, according to state documents.
Its expected closure follows a series of blows for Atlantic City, and would mean the city would have a third fewer casinos than at the start of the year.
The Atlantic Club casino was sold and shut down in January. Showboat, one of Atlantic City's largest properties, has announced it will close at the end of August. The $2.4 billion Revel casino, the city's newest, has said it could close Aug. 18 if a buyer is not found.
It's amazing how people invest in volitional things, and some things that never should have been listed as a public commodity.
People who create functional business, then listen to financial people who dupe them into over expanding, over leveraging, and then over stocking and basing their business on a stock ticker which is driven by speculation.
It's unlikely to change because people still believe in get rich quick programming.

All's good and well. I started the treatment today.. I'm looking forward to a process with as minimal side effects as possible.
Speaking from hard gained wisdom:
What I can say is, many who are playing waiting games to find a mate may well move forth, and realize that "you have a choice", don't wait until something comes along in your life and diminish the options within those choices, or put challenges within variables which can hinder the options to engage a choice.
Act and Engage in Relationships while you can.
Many people have mental pains which hold them back. You can overcome those and work through them. Be thankful it is not a physical issue that impedes your options to exercise choice; to make a choice.
It might be a wise thing to let go of temperamental-ism, and get over the pursuit of perfection and accept that ones-self is far from perfect. Be careful of the expectations you place, because they may boomerang and become shackles upon your own life.
As many in these sites are beyond the age of 40 and many may be beyond the age of 50. Not only will you never be 18 again, you also will not be a repeat of your hey day image of yourself. You have changed and you will change more as time comes. Your life will change in what you find to be important in the material world, and you attitude will if you are with care, grow more wise to become more appreciative, and more willing to share without a mountain of conditions. Be Thankful for The Grace of Growth
Plastic surgery won't change what's inside of you, nor will more expensive clothes or more expensive toys, Its a time in life to appreciate what time has brought you through, and understand that if you delay sharing all that you are, then the less time in this life you will have to share all that you are.
You are not going to find a 'TV Character" because they are not real, and nor is the Big Screen Movie Character, no matter how much fantasy you wrap around such images,. You are whom you are. If you want to be more , it might just come though what you share and what you accept and allow to be shared with you from the heart and with the heart of another.
We are too old to bicker and playing bartering games, and at the ages spoken of above, the idea that sex will control or manipulate something, is the ideas of a fool.. which by these ages, many should have learned that lesson in their late 20's.
Obsessions with shopping and spending money is not going to make a person become anything but "wasteful".
You can't claim to be a player, trying to juggle multiple mates, because it may well result to show that you've lost more of yourself, than of anything you have gained. And all the while, you life baggage only gets heavier, and eventually it become an albatross and you will find, not only is your baggage over stuff, you have become a hoarder of ill will and strife, which you drag along, collecting more and finding no place left to store it except to accumulate more baggage.
It might be time to get real with loves truths and accept the works involved in sharing and labors it takes to maintain it that it might grow.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know?

I'm wondering with all the people who report UFO sighting, why is it no one ever seems to have a quality camera handy?
I also wonder, with the Space Satellite circling, why has it never taken photo's which can be shown to the public of UFO's. The Space station seem to be able to photograph everything else, but it seems there is no images which depict UFO being presented.
I certainly don't rule out there existence. Because there was a time man on earth could not get off the ground, then today we have very fast crafts and even can put things in orbit.
So is it really unthinkable that other life may exist which may have technology beyond our imagination? ! ! ?
I do however think our governments have things which are so far advanced they can't disclose it to the public, because the general public is not ready for it. Already we make foolishness out of things once they are introduced to the public.
Even when it comes to internet communication, I think they have advanced this technology so far, that it would be a danger to the public if they allowed the general public the full capabilities of Internet things developed in super secret environments.
As to Crafts from other places, do you think they are real?

Rebuttal - Now what???

There was a post a week or so ago about this subject.
Rebuttal- WTF !!!!!
(From News)
Researchers estimate that HPV throat cancer in men will be more common than cervical cancer in women in the U.S.
[quote]
Two years ago, a 50-year-old biotech CEO who also had HPV throat cancer. Last year, the actor Michael Douglas said that his throat cancer was caused by HPV. (He suspects it was from Cunnilingus)
The point is that these are men much like Dimon: CEOs and consultants, men at the peak of their lives and professional power. And their numbers are increasing. [/quote]
How do you get HPV cancer? HPV is sexually transmitted. It’s mainly known as a cause of cervical cancer, which is what happens when it infects women. But men can get it by performing cunnilingus. It’s also possible, though less likely, that it can be transmitted by kissing. Eighty percent of sexually active people between the ages of 14 and 44 have had oral sex with an opposite sex partner. Researchers estimate that HPV throat cancer in men will be more common than cervical cancer in women in the U.S.
One hope is that the vaccines developed to prevent HPV infection in women – Gardasil, from Merck , and Cervarix, from GlaxoSmithKline – could prevent HPV infection in the throat and, therefore, cancer later on. But there’s no way to prove this. Drug companies funded studies showing the vaccines prevented the formation of precancerous lesions in the cervix, but there’s no way to do something similar in the throat.
( What a shame, if you have intercourse, you might get aids or something, if you eat it, you might get throat cancer)... what the heck !!!!!
we may see even higher probability of the throat cancer rise among women even higher than it may rise among men. Because today, many women are 'chomping down" on any woman that come in their pathway and smiles back.
Maybe it won't save your life ????? what a shame.

Self Identity

Last Updated:Jul 3, 2014 7:15 pm 26422 Views

It matters much how you understand your self identity - it equally matters how much of flexibility one has within self identity; to enable one to meld and merge with the character traits of others.
This is true in living environments, in working environments, and in general social situations.
How much of self accdeptance one has of themselves is often critical, and those with high egrees and levels of uncertainty as to self acceptance, will make for a uncomfortable relationship situation and it will become generally a short lived association.
People carry baggage and within those bags is pains, joys, fantasy, illusions, delusions and a host of ideals and ideas. It's like any luggage, some people just throw things in a suitcase, and there are others who take time to arrange what is in their suitcase and they have placed it there with great care and considerations. ( often it is these types who have learned the lessons within what is within their baggage, and they understand more of what it means to embrace compassion's in the relationships they bring their baggage into)
The wise will not rush into a relationship, they will 'grow into it", but often times many have so little patience, they result to collect more and more emotional things which they quickly toss in the suitcase and slam it shut. They are then off on another hunt. The bag eventually get's heavy, and when they open it, an onslaught of madness comes out, sadly, they are unable to toss it and too distraught to fold and repack the case neatly. They store up the case, and go and try and find a bigger suitcase.
It's easy to spot those who carry 'trunks", as they have gathered more than a suitcase can hold.
For these types, the make up get's thicker, the clothes have to be more expensive, and they seek drama to drown out their own thoughts and they want to be entertained to avoid thinking about what is within their own reality. These types will be restless and unable to truly appreciate anything for more than a short and brief moment.
If you are not rich, there is no need to pretend, if you are not a social status minion, then why seek to be one.
It is often those who accept their own self identity in being whom they are, whom is often the ones who find love, and they don't spend forever looking, because they understand much about whom they are, and that is what they seek to share, this is far more important to them, than to be one who is seeking someone to make them become something they are not.
they know the difference in sharing with someone, which helps them become all they can be, in being whom they are.. than to be chasing illusions seeking to be what they are not.
It does not matter how much money you have or don't have, it does not matter what your face looks like or does not look like, it does not matter what your ass shape is or is not.. Because in the whole of life, there is someone who will appreciate you as being beautiful in their eyes. as well as it is important for you to feel beautiful in the concept of your own self identity.
Too many women are often too caught up in trying to be "every-woman", until they fail at being themselves. some try and change based on the costume, until they result to make themselves simply a caricature figure and then over time wonder whom they are.
Men too often get lost in either trying to base himself by a measure of monetary and material things, or the pretense of having monetary and material things, result often times to be quite frustrated, because he is unsure if he is desired for himself as a person, or the monetary or material things. He will become over time, fragile in being whom he is. or jaded to the point he is hardened and distrusting even more so.
It does not matter if you have a lot or a little of monetary or material things, it does not matter if you have a big weenie or a little weenie, it does not matter if you have big breast or little breast. Realize this: there are people who can barely make it from pay day to pay day, and some are even homeless, and still love each other deeply and sincerely, as well as there are women who have had mastectomies and men who have erectile dysfunctions, and they still have relationships built with a great depth and sincerity within loving each other.
One has to become first and foremost adult enough to accept that love, is love and it has no criteria of such things, it bases itself in the care people share with and of each other as simply a individual. that care is often deep and silent as well as it is outward and jubilant, it is many things and suffices to fulfill each who embrace and share it, and it in turn makes each of them become more of what they can be.
Self Identity.... It matters much how you understand your self identity

Bobby Womack (1944-2014)

For Me, one of the greatest singer of the ages. His grit, gut and soul is truly astounding. He expresses the feeling tones that match well with the soul and spirit I think should be within the passion of singing.
Truly simply just "REAL" !!!!!
I like others such as Bill Withers, Marvin Gay and various others. Bobby Womack talks about life in the true real sense. He has the naturalness of a Ray Charles, and his selection of instrumental magic which sets the background and fills in the landscape is truly beautiful.
There will be no more to be as Bobby Womack.
For those who are not familiar with him, I would say, give yourself such a delightful treat and listen to some of his songs.
I'm at the moment listening to "SOMEDAY WE'LL ALL BE FREE"
I've been playing his songs over and over as he touches and talks about so much of life, its realism, its loves, its passions, its challenges and its wonderful and wondrous marvels of all that makes up living.
I can speak of the greatness, but it would take a vast amount of writing to truly speak of the depth and fullness of what is within the songs of Bobby Womack.
What a loss but he left such a legacy of truly life force expressions in his music and songs.
Take a listen and open your heart and mind, and you will find that Bobby, will touch you deeply and gently with much passion within the feeling of your inner self.
A song everyone will understand
Bobby Womack - "If You Think You're Lonely Now"
True Classic
Bobby Womack - "That's the way I feel about cha"
Bobby Womack - " A Woman's gotta have it"
Bobby Womack - "Harry Hippie"
Bobby Womack - " I'm Looking for a Love"
Bobby Womack - "Where do we go from here"
Bobby Womack - " I Can Understand It.
Bobby Womack - "Across 110th St."
Bobby Womack - "That's the way I feel about cha"
Enjoy these songs, it will open the heart and mind... of all that loves wonders instilled within its confines.

Well, I bought an electronic door, but I forgot to order the extra sensor for the other dog. ( the unit comes with only one sensor).
I hope they will use it. they are very good at finding 'opening in anything", so I'm sure they will discover it and put it to use.

Do you want a mate?
|
Posted:Jun 22, 2014 8:24 am
Last Updated:Jun 25, 2014 7:22 pm 23825 Views
|
For those who say they want a mate, it might be interesting to simply select one and realize there is no perfection and there is no ideal. The concept of ideal is what you build OVER TIME.
Yesterday I went to a Funeral, the guy was one day younger than I am. I am 60 yrs old. He was married 4 yrs ago, in 2010, he was diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer last year and then months later diagnosed with Lung Cancer. The woman he married had , one of the spoke. She said the few short years he gave her some very special memories, of kindness and care, which she otherwise would not have gotten at such a crucial time in her life.
I say that to say this: While many of the guys here are in their 50's and near 60 and some above 60. many of the women are in their 40's and some in their 50 and maybe in their 60's. It might be wise after living this long and not finding perfection, to come to the realism, there is no such thing as perfection. Regardless of The Ideals that you seek; it should be overtly evident by these ages, and you should have come to know by now, RELATIONSHIPS is never any more than you make it, nor will it ever be any more than both of you work to make it become.
Also at these ages, the games of temp and tease is only for catching, but it does not work to hold anyone as a long term mate.
So with all the reliance of the academia of education people claim, all the integrity and achievement people claim, why are so many still like 'teenagers" when it comes to love and learning how to accept, build and make a relationship? You are not going to have sex 24 hrs a day, so you should have long ago faced up to that fact. If it last 20 minutes, or 5 minutes, you probably should enjoy it for what it is. If it did last more than 10 minutes of steady pumping, many would be worn out and in need of resuscitation  getting leg or back cramps or what ever comes along with age and the physical realization of the human body. Some women may spend hours upon hours with their toys,  but they still get nothing of emotional connection nor do they learn anything of how to achieve emotional connections with man, they only get to absorb themselves in themselves building fantasies they will never develop the ability nor mentality to share. After prolonged self gratification, they become driven by and for self gratification, thus the result is "mate-less".  
For men, as many know, I wrote extensively about sex, I enjoyed sex to an expanded degree, and I though a lot about all the available sex in places like Thailand which can be had quite simply for as long as one wants to have it. Young women in their 20's by the thousands, willing, ready and able to do it at a moments notice.. All that stuff is real, I did it and it was nothing more than an experience which produced some friends, but did not produce a relationship, Well, after surgery, that thought is gone out the window. Even when thinking such thoughts, It is well known it does not make relationships, it can however make some friendships, but they result to be on the other side of the globe. So either way its a short lived situations, unless one moves to the location. It quickly shows this not to be long lived as in the aim some might things, As I knew guys who did just that, and they result over time to settle down with one woman, even when there are thousands upon thousands making offers, and putting temptations in any imaginable way one can think to encounter.
Well even beyond all of that. people still claim to seek out a mate, for the 'companion ship" aspects of things. Because regardless of what people say and what they think and do, they still at some point want companionship. Build it while you can, because some thing in life can change the factors greatly, and make even that aspect more challenging, if one has not previously built a relationship of understanding, considerations, appreciations and many things which make up what is a relationship.
We see many guys who say, 'they have simply given up" on the thought of finding honest and enduring companionship. Some have even given up on the interest of having frequent sex with a line of young women who make themselves available, or offer up their tempting.
For some they have been ripped for money, some have been played for support and convenience, and some have been used for moral support while the young women goes in pursuit of other aims. But what ever the case. it still comes back to 'the aim of a companion".
some of the women, even in their 40's still want to play in the 'allure area as if they are still in their 20's , riding the ego of how many options they have, all the while time is passing and all they have a mind full of fantasies they have put their lives in delay and hold mode, hoping a fantasy jumps out the wind.
Sadly, still unaware that what ever it is they want. It has to be BUILT, and that is only done through companionship interchanges, communications and LEARNING how to reach understandings. Which means, SELFISHNESS AND WHIMSICAL fantasy does not fit into the spectrum.
Not many people go to the pound to adopt old dogs, they go there looking for puppies. Well when it comes to people, we too age, and not even the media shows us images of people chasing older imagery. They chase the sit com version of the youthful lusty imagery. Yet, the TV shows that its story line is generally made up of deception, delusion, vanity, selfishness and conniving by any and many means. Yet, people still go out believing in the Melodrama imagery of this entertainer or that entertainer. While they are ignoring that at this age and stage, YOU ARE YOU, period... YOU WILL NOT BE an Angelina Joile, nor a Tom Cruise of etc.. and if you note, Angelina and Tom are not the same as what you see on the screen, they are people, PLAYING ROLES written for them by script writers, sitting for hours in chairs with 5 or more people applying make up, and then the technicians, using computer graphics to modify the image.
Now at what age do people let go of chasing to emulate this, and accept their own reality?
All the games and the illusions of lusting after the enticingly bodies and such was always known to be mere fantasy, Because what makes a relationship is and always has been about understanding, communications and being help mates. Most people know, that the body and facial images pushes people to conjure up many fantasies and always life falls far short of that fantasy, and what is left is the body and face, which is the basic simple reality of the person as simply a human being.
Now, what is the reality: It is simple, sex cannot be the main basis and time, fact and reality will always make you know, it is still going to be all about communications and understanding and being help mates.
For men and women, you can't 'bang" each other into submission, no matter if you 'bang each other 4 times or more a day", it still will not result to banging each other into any form of submission.
Here's a simpler analogy, take the bar girls - you can take one to your hotel, you can bang for hours day upon day, and when its done, she is still looking only for the next . if another pays more, she will not seek nor find time to return to you, until the higher paying moves on. So guys, should get no delusions that he can bang a woman into submission of any sort.
As many have found, the women they have met via web sites and in physical reality, if 'banging was going to secure the relationship", you'd still be with the one you banged the most. and likewise for the woman, who was banged the most would still be with you.
Most men who have been married generally found the same reality, after a matter of time, sex become infrequent, the first phase is like a 'bang each other fest", yet as time moves on, for some it may even fall to the low level of being only for manipulation, or as a reward when you have bought of given a gift of some sort, and some it may even fall to the low level of 'special holiday activity", which goes back to infrequency after the holiday is over.
If you think you want a series of adult film like sexual activity as a basis, you probably may need to resort to insuring you have a line of ' pay as you play -working girls lined up". It's probably a very rare situations where men will find a woman who is going to fit the classical fantasy of the nymphet. If she did, you'd probably be agitated at her not having the other qualities that go into making a full circle relationship. Then many men would quickly resort to not trusting her, because he would assume that she's going to get some, no matter where she goes by any means she can.
So, the matter become very simple for men, or for women - DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
Most people don't, they just plod along , looking for what catches their fancy for the moment, and they bring with them, the minds suitcase full of fiction, fantasy, illusions and frustrations about all the delusions they have gathered in their games of chasing fantasy. So, it comes down to a matter of base simplicity.. Can you be adult in your aims, and responsible in your choices and have a sense of realism about the situations you invest yourself?
Only you know what the answer is for you>
