Jared Rutledge, 31, and Jacob Owens, 27, who are the owners of Waking Life Espresso in Asheville, graphically discussed their alleged liaisons with more than 50 women on their Holistic Game blog, podcast series and Twitter account, before they were outed 揭发 by the blog Jared And Jacob Said in August and later by Asheville Blog. The men, who confirmed they were behind the site, apologized for their actions, however, three of the women who found themselves listed on their blog said they doubt their sincerity. 'Their apologies mean nothing to me, and I know I am not alone in this sentiment,' Cara, who preferred to keep her last name anonymous, told the Daily Mail Online. The 25-year-old, who dated Jared in the summer of 2014, said his words are an 'extremely transparent' attempt to do damage control. Cara questioned how she could be deceived so badly被骗的很惨, recalling how Jared showed her compassion that summer as he helped her process past emotional abuse. According to Jacob, who rated women and shared stories of his own intimate encounters on their podcasts, Jared was the man behind the blog and Twitter accounts. As a part of their apology, they offered to donate their profits to Our VOICE, a non-profit for sexual assault prevention, however, Our Voice said they would not be taking their donations. 'We will not be taking their money because it is not our place to forgive,' the organization stated on its Facebook page. 'Our VOICE is not in a position of absolving them for their misogyny as it perpetuates a culture of danger to all women and girls.' April said she dated Jared for two months, and she recalls him being upfront about wanting to see other people because he had just gotten out of a serious relationship. When she ended things with him, she said he was disappointed and told her that he could see what they had 'blossoming into a relationship'. 'Our relationship was not based around sex,' April noted. 'We went on legitimate dates. I met his friends. We confided in one another 坦诚内心. He showed genuine feelings and was vulnerable.' In October 2014, Jared allegedly used the Holistic Game account to tweet: 'There are few things that give me more sadistic pleasure than witnessing the ever-increasing neuroses ( neuroses [nuˈrousɪs] 杞人忧天 a mental illness that makes you behave in an unusual way or makes you worry all the time about something unimportant. a relatively mild mental illness that is not caused by organic disease, involving symptoms of stress (depression, anxiety, obsessive behaviour, hypochondria) but not a radical loss of touch with reality.

How to get into a club without ID: Scope out 好好观察一下, 四处查看一下 the spot. If it's just one door heavily guarded 严兵把守 by 3 bouncers, the easiest solution is 'the confident walk through'. Realize that you have 2 checkpoints 检查点 to clear with most clubs. The bouncers out front, and then the cover charge gatekeeper ( A cover charge 入门费, 进门费 is an entrance fee sometimes charged at bars, nightclubs, or restaurants. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a "fixed amount added to the bill at a nightclub or restaurant for entertainment or service." In restaurants, cover charges (or "couvert" charges) generally do not include the cost of food that is specifically ordered, but in some establishments, they do include the cost of bread, butter, olives and other accompaniments which are provided as a matter of course. ) inside. The mindset I put myself in is, I was inside 2 minutes ago and I'm going back in. Simply walk past anyone without noticing them 看都不看, as if you were entering any other corner store. If a bouncer says something just flash your wrist where a stamp would be and keep walking. A few things that make the confident walk through more effective: -Distractions: if the bouncers are crowded by a lot of people, IDing others, flirting with chicks, breaking up a fight or beating up a mother and child, or most effective: blend into 混进去, 混在人堆儿里 a group of people walking in. It makes it harder for them to notice (or care about) you walking in. Bring a sharpie ( Sharpie is an American manufacturer of writing instruments (mainly marker pens) whose products are sold in over 20 countries. ) with you to the club, you can draw on chicks and get their numbers on your arm. But most importantly you can fake the club's stamp. A black faded out blur will work fine most of the time, having this on your wrist doubled with the confident walk through will get you into anything. If you want, you can catch someone leaving the club and ask to see their stamp in order to make a more accurate rendition. If they're bangable, lick the stamp on her wrist and press it up against your wrist in an attempt to copy it. Pro tip: always draw a mustache on your finger - this way you have a readily available disguise in the event of any trouble. With bigger clubs, they have nice outdoor areas, be it out front, behind the club, or even on a balcony up high. All these are potential alternate entry points入口. If its out front, it's usually only fenced off by something low = jump over it. Scope out 观察一下, 查看一下 for any bouncers that are looking for this exact thing. If you see one, time it 找时机 when he's looking in another direction. If you're club hopping and you leave the club later, on your way out, tell the cover charge girl gate keeper that your stamp faded out 变淡了 and that you'd like another one. This will make coming back a little simpler if you decide to return later. I've gotten 'caught' plenty of times, but I've gotten in without a hitch countless times, like 90% of the time. I've never had bouncers kick my ass or anything, the worst they'll do is grab your arm and throw you out, somewhat gently. 6. speak I.

"Well, sort of because I did want to mark the fact that it was the first African-American to win in the lead actress category," replied Davis. "So I love that Harriet Tubman quote. I thought it was so progressive." 关于这个speech让Davis老公吓一跳: "I was too for a minute," Ellen nodded in agreement. "I thought maybe you were drunk. Did you drink before the show?" "I did," Davis replied to big laughs, revealing she'd gulped down some prosecco while she was getting ready. DeGeneres asked Davis if she knew that the entire crowd was giving her a standing ovation as she walked off the stage. "I did not," said Davis. "I felt a great wall of silence 一片肃静 and I think that's because I saw the McDonalds French fries back stage, and I was trying to get those McDonald's French fries, and you know — I ate them like I hadn't eaten in five years. You're subversive ( [səbˈvɜrsɪv] intended to destroy the power or influence of a government or an established belief. They were expelled from the country for subversive activities. It's a challenging novel with a subversive message.) if you eat French fries in Hollywood." "Yeah, well, when you're drunk, you do things like that," Ellen deadpanned. And of course the celebration was just beginning with the backstage fries. Davis went on to describe the joy of being the recipient of congratulatory gifts from Oprah, as she revealed a picture of the enormous bouquet Oprah sent Davis in celebration of her win. "Oprah does everything big," said Davis. "And I love it. I love being on the receiving end of all of her big gifts. She also sent Jay Z's champagne to me. And you know, I always look it up online to see how much it costs. That's real tacky of me, I know." 8. A waste container is a container for temporarily storing waste, and is usually made out of metal or plastic. Common terms are dustbin, rubbish bin, litter bin, garbage can, trash can, trash bin, dumpster, waste basket, waste paper basket, waste receptacle, container bin, bin, kitchen bin, barrel and trash barrel. The words "rubbish", "basket" and "bin" are more common in British English usage; "trash" and "can" are more common in American English usage. "Garbage 多指食品垃圾, 厨房垃圾" may refer to food waste specifically (when distinguished from "trash生活垃圾") or to municipal solid waste in general. The curbside dustbins usually consist of three types: trash cans 固定的街边上的垃圾桶 (receptacles made of metal or plastic), dumpsters 金属制的大的梯形的垃圾桶 (large receptacles similar to skips) and wheelie bins 带轮子的垃圾桶 (light, usually plastic bins that are mobile). All of these are emptied by collectors, who will load the contents into a garbage truck and drive it to a landfill, incinerator or consuming crush facility to be disposed of 处理掉. The standard size of a UK wheelie bin for household collection is 240 litres (8.5 cu ft). A skip (UK English) or dumpster (US and Canadian English) is a large open-topped waste container designed for loading onto a special type of lorry. Instead of being emptied into a garbage truck on site, as a wheelie bin is, a skip is removed, or replaced by an empty skip, and then tipped at a landfill site or transfer station. Typically skip bins have a distinctive shape: the longitudinal cross-section 纵切面 of the skip bin is either a trapezoid 梯形 or two stacked trapezoids([ˈtræpɪzɔɪd] a shape with four straight sides that are not parallel to each other. The American word is trapezium.). The lower trapezoid has the smaller edge at the bottom of the skip bin, and a longer edge at the top. Where there is an upper trapezoid, it has the smaller edge at the top. At either end of the skip bin there is a sloping floor or wall. There are usually two lugs 环 at the ends of the bin onto which chains can be attached, permitting the heavy skip bin to be lifted onto and off a lorry. A special skip-carrying lorry or crane is used. One end of the skip sometimes has a large door that hinges down to allow manual loading and unloading. Skips are usually durable and tough, made to withstand rough use by tradesmen and labourers. The size of a skip bin can vary from 2 cubic metres (71 cu ft) to 32 cubic metres (1,100 cu ft). Even though these large bins can store many tonnes of waste, most lorries are limited to carrying around 8 tonnes (8,000 kg) of material in the container. 9. 男子失踪, 尸体找到： "Our gravest concerns were realised 最担心的成真 today when somebody found the body of a person who we strongly believe to be Daniel,"s Detective Superintendent Des Bray told reporters last night.
