Roc Quotes

Le vent se lève! . . . il faut tenter de vivre! L'air immense ouvre et referme mon livre, La vague en poudre ose jaillir des rocs! Envolez-vous, pages tout éblouies! Rompez, vagues! Rompez d'eaux réjouies Ce toit tranquille où picoraient des focs!

The world makes things for each place. Fish for the sea, Rocs for the mountain skies, and girls with sun in their skin and perfect aim for a desert that doesn't let weakness live.

It is a pity that there are no big creatures to prey on humanity. If there were enough dragons and rocs, perhaps mankind would turn its might against them. Unfortunately man is preyed upon by microbes, which are too small to be appreciated.

What did I want? I wanted a Roc's egg. I wanted a harem loaded with lovely odalisques less than the dust beneath my chariot wheels, the rust that never stained my sword,. I wanted raw red gold in nuggets the size of your fist and feed that lousy claim jumper to the huskies! I wanted to get u feeling brisk and go out and break some lances, then pick a like wench for my droit du seigneur--I wanted to stand up to the Baron and dare him to touch my wench! I wanted to hear the purple water chuckling against the skin of the Nancy Lee in the cool of the morning watch and not another sound, nor any movement save the slow tilting of the wings of the albatross that had been pacing us the last thousand miles. I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The game's afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prestor John, and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon. I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be--instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is.

What would I possibly know - I've only been stationed in the mountains of Iliaz for half a decade. I only heard Rocs screaming every night while you were still sleeping in the harem by your mother. But you know better, I'm sure.

Traaaiiinnn,” Roc repeats slowly, sounding out the word for me like I’m stupid. “T-R-A-I-N. Spell it with me, Tristan.

If I have become my father, then I shall have my father's blade. Thorn is my dragon, and a thorn he shall be to all enemies. It is only right, then, that I should wield the sword, misery. Misery and Thorn, a fit match. Besides, Zar'roc should have gone to Morzan's eldest son, not his youngest. It is mine by right of birth." A cold pit formed in Eragon's stomach. It can't be. A cruel smile appeared on Murtagh's face. "I never told you my mother's name, did I? And you never told my yours. I'll say it now: Selena.

I'm done talking to you for today, my chips are worn out. ~Roc

Going to dark bed there was a square round Sinbad the Sailor roc’s auk’s egg in the night of the bed of all the auks of the rocs of Darkinbad the Brightdayler.

What’s going on” she asked. “You been in on it the whole time, Roc, you know what’s going on,” he answered.

Ah non ! C'est un peu court jeune homme On pourrait dire, O Dieu, bien des choses en somme En variant le ton, par exemple, tenez: Agressif: moi monsieur, si j'avais un tel nez Il faudrait sur le champ que je me l'emputasse ! Amical: mais il doit tremper dans votre tasse Pour boire faîtes-vous donc fabriquer un hanap. Descriptif: c'est un roc ! c'est un pic ! c'est un cap ! Que dis-je, c'est un cap ? c'est une péninsule !

Any defiance of the wild leads at best to a fragile, temporary victory. Nature and fate are their own capricious monsters, ones that cannot be tamed any more than a roc ever truly belongs to her ruhker.

Nobody told you to shoot her!” Dallas barked. “You said death was the only way out and from the looks of things she was on her way out.” Shannon hunched her shoulders. “Go home Shannon.” Dallas knew this hell demon needed rest. “Cool I am sleepy anyways. Roc you coming?” Shannon waved the gun. “No boo I will take a cab. I don’t trust you.” He was serious as hell. “I understand. I don’t trust me either.” She smiled and when home.

But in truth, neither the lonely meditations of the hermit nor the turmulos raptures of the reveller, are capable of satisfying man’s heart. From the one we gather unquiet speculation, from the other satiety. The mind flags beneath the weight of thought, and droops in thee heartless intercourse of those whose sole aim is amusement. There is no fruition in their vacant kindness, and sharp rocs lur beneath the smiling ripples of these shallow waters.

It's like she was metal and I was a magnet, Roc. But at the same time it felt like someone had shoved an electric wire into my skin and was frying me from the inside. It hurt like hell. No, worse than hell, Roc. And yet, somehow across the distance, through the fence, over the mob of people, I felt a pull to her, even though I knew it would hurt me to be closer to her. I probably would have just let it go, chalked it up to male hormones, but then when she acted so strong, pushed that guy... I don't know, since then I can't get her out of my mind.

Dont Hate Cuz You See Me Stunning I Was Born A Young Stunner Puerto Roc

Zar’roc.

Un père, ça ne meurt pas, un père c'est éternel, c'est un roc, un pilier.

Estem perdent el temps, clama la Greta, passant la càrrega, el sac de rocs, de l'una a l'altra, traient-nos el dolor de sobre. Això, no ho hem de fer. No ens hem de passar la patata calenta del patiment. Que cadascú s'empassi el seu, diu. L'inspirem, el païm i el convertim en combustible.

Nothing compares to the feeling of riding back to the mews with a trophy tied to your chariot like a conquering hero. On those days, you feel as if you and your roc are one. Zahra and I were complete; we were the sun and the wind, the sky and the earth, life and death, above the world and untouchable.

I wanted the world to be the way they had promised me it was going to be, instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is. I had had one chance - for ten minutes yesterday afternoon. Helen of Troy, whatever your true name may be - and I had known it and I had let it slip away. Maybe one chance is all you ever get.

reasons of his own. After Eragon agrees, Brom gives him the sword Zar’roc, which was once a Rider’s blade, though he refuses to say how he acquired it. Eragon learns much from Brom during their travels, including how to fight with swords and use magic. Eventually, they lose the Ra’zac’s trail and visit the city of Teirm, where Brom believes

He must have kicked fucking puppies or kittens or maybe even both in a former life to get saddled with this shit.

Le Bonadventure passa devant cette côte, qu'il prolongea à la distance d'un demi-mille. Il fut facile de voir qu'elle se composait de blocs de toutes dimensions, depuis vingt pieds jusqu'à trois cents pieds de hauteur, et de toutes formes, cylindriques comme des tours, prismatiques comme des clochers, pyramidaux comme des obélisques, coniques comme des cheminées d'usine. Une banquise des mers glaciales n'eût pas été plus capricieusement dressée dans sa sublime horreur! Ici, des ponts jetés d'un roc à l'autre; là, des arceaux disposés comme ceux d'une nef, dont le regard ne pouvait découvrir la profondeur; en un endroit, de larges excavations, dont les voûtes présentaient un aspect monumental; en un autre, une véritable cohue de pointes, de pyramidions, de flèches comme aucune cathédrale gothique n'en a jamais compté. Tous les caprices de la nature, plus variés encore que ceux de l'imagination, dessinaient ce littoral grandiose, qui se prolongeait sur une longueur de huit à neuf milles.

hotel where their relationship had finally been consummated. The Hôtel du Cap was one of the most beautiful, exclusive, and illustrious hotels in Europe, with prices to match. The main building had marble halls, high ceilings, and magnificent rooms and suites, most of them looking out at the sea shimmering like glass. There was an impressive outdoor staircase leading down to the even more exclusive Eden Roc, with gardens on either side of the wide path and closer to the water. It was the vacation spot for aristocrats, royalty, the immensely rich, and in recent years jet-setters, Russian tycoons, and movie stars, many of whom preferred to stay at the less formal lower building, with smaller but still elegantly appointed suites, and even better views of the sea from their balconies. There

universe.” Tan’elKoth’s tone remained dry and precise, but his face grew ever more grim. “Chambaraya is, one might say, a smaller knot of mind within the Worldmind: what the elves call T’nnalldion. Through Faith, the Bog can get its corporate fingers into that knot, unbind it, and tie it again in their own image.” Avery shook her head blankly, uncomprehending. Tan’elKoth’s expression was bleak as an open grave. “They’ll make of it a world like this one.” “Is that all?” Avery asked, frowning. “You make it sound like a catastrophe.” “It will be an Armageddon unimaginable; it will be genocide on a scale of which Stalin could not have dreamed.” “Wiping out magick doesn’t seem like such a bad thing.” “Businessman,” Tan’elKoth said patiently, “you don’t understand. Magick has not been wiped out on Earth; it is a function of Flow, which is the energy of existence itself. But its state can be altered. And it has been. Once, Earth was home to fully as many magickal creatures as was Overworld: dragons and sea serpents and mermaids, rocs and djann and primals and stonebenders and all. But creatures such as these require higher levels of certain frequencies of Flow than does humanity; as the pattern of Earth degraded, these creatures not only died, but their very bones gave up their integrity. They vanished into the background Flow of your universe.” “You’re saying magick works on Earth?” Avery said skeptically. “Magick works, as you say, everywhere. But the manner in which magick works on Earth is a local aberration; the physics of this planet and its spatial surrounds have been altered to conditions that favor the ascendance of humanity.” “And what’s wrong with that?” “I did not say it was wrong. I do not debate morality. In my zeal to protect my Children, I once favored such a fate for my own world. But it is unnatural. It is both the cause and the result of the ugly twisting of human nature that we see around

Can dragons fly?" The apparent change of subject didn't seem to startle the Mage. "No. Not at all. They do not have wings, ... "If you want a flying spell creature, you need a Roc." "A what?" "A Roc. It is a giant bird," Alain explained. Mari shook her head. "A giant bird. I'm crazy to be listening to this, you know that?" "I have thought…” He fumbled for words, for a moment looking just like any other seventeen-year-old young man. Was that actually embarrassment showing? “You might…be interested…someday….in flying…on a Roc. I mean…with me.” 
“Are you asking me on a date?” Mari tried desperately not to laugh at his discomfort. “A date on a giant bird?”
“Um…I do not know…just something to do…together. That is not dangerous,” Alain added hastily. 
“Doing something together, that isn’t dangerous?” Mari asked. “That would be a change of pace for us, wouldn’t it? … "Have you ever gone…flying…with a girl before?” 
Was he blushing? Just the faintest hint of it, but—stars above. She had made a Mage blush. 
“No,” Alain said.

[J.Ivy:] We are all here for a reason on a particular path You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental That's why I'm instrumental Vibrations is what I'm into Yeah, I need my loot by rent day But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque I can't stop, that's why I'm hot Determination, dedication, motivation I'm talking to you, my many inspirations When I say I can't, let you or self down If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip I would never, ever let you down And when these words are found Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love That's why my breath is felt by the deaf And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind I, too, dream in color and in rhyme So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth A touch of God reigns out [Chorus] [Jay-Z (Kanye West)] Who else you know been hot this long, (Oh Ya, you know we ain't finished) Started from nothing but he got this strong, (The ROC is in the building) Built the ROC from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you, Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special, Let you tell that man I'm falling, Well somebody must've caught him, Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em, Number one albums, what I got like four of dem, More of dem on the way, The Eight Wonder on the way, Clear the way, I'm here to stay, Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay, Dissin' Jay 'ill get you mased, When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious, Six Hail Maries, please Father forgive us, Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggas, The way y'all all follow Jigga, Hov's a living legend and I tell you why, Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.

how he would get to Tronjheim’s base—where the Urgals were breaking in. There was no time to climb down. He looked at the narrow trough to the right of the stairs, then grabbed one of the leather pads and threw himself down on it. The stone slide was smooth as lacquered wood. With the leather underneath him, he accelerated almost instantly to a frightening speed, the walls blurring and the curve of the slide pressing him high against the wall. Eragon lay completely flat so he would go faster. The air rushed past his helm, making it vibrate like a weather vane in a gale. The trough was too confined for him, and he was perilously close to flying out, but as long as he kept his arms and legs still, he was safe. It was a swift descent, but it still took him nearly ten minutes to reach the bottom. The slide leveled out at the end and sent him skidding halfway across the huge carnelian floor. When he finally came to a stop, he was too dizzy to walk. His first attempt to stand made him nauseated, so he curled up, head in his hands, and waited for things to stop spinning. When he felt better, he stood and warily looked around. The great chamber was completely deserted, the silence unsettling. Rosy light filtered down from Isidar Mithrim. He faltered—Where was he supposed to go?—and cast out his mind for the Twins. Nothing. He froze as loud knocking echoed through Tronjheim. An explosion split the air. A long slab of the chamber floor buckled and blew thirty feet up. Needles of rocks flew outward as it crashed down. Eragon stumbled back, stunned, groping for Zar’roc. The twisted shapes of Urgals clambered out of the hole in the floor. Eragon hesitated. Should he flee? Or should he stay and try to close the tunnel? Even if he managed to seal it before the Urgals attacked him, what if Tronjheim was already breached elsewhere? He could not find all the places in time to prevent the city-mountain from being captured. But if I run to one of Tronjheim’s gates and blast it open, the Varden could retake Tronjheim without having to siege it. Before he could decide, a tall man garbed entirely in black armor emerged from the tunnel and looked directly at him. It was Durza. The Shade carried his pale blade marked with the scratch from Ajihad. A black roundshield with a crimson ensign rested on his arm. His dark helmet was richly decorated, like a general’s, and a long snakeskin cloak billowed around him. Madness burned in his maroon eyes, the madness of one who enjoys power and finds himself in the position to use it.

Au reste, l’artifice paraissait à des Esseintes la marque distinctive du génie de l’homme. Comme il le disait, la nature a fait son temps ; elle a définitivement lassé, par la dégoûtante uniformité de ses paysages et de ses ciels, l’attentive patience des raffinés. Au fond, quelle platitude de spécialiste confinée dans sa partie, quelle petitesse de boutiquière tenant tel article à l’exclusion de tout autre, quel monotone magasin de prairies et d’arbres, quelle banale agence de montagnes et de mers ! Il n’est, d’ailleurs, aucune de ses inventions réputée si subtile ou si grandiose que le génie humain ne puisse créer ; aucune forêt de Fontainebleau, aucun clair de lune que des décors inondés de jets électriques ne produisent ; aucune cascade que l’hydraulique n’imite à s’y méprendre ; aucun roc que le carton-pâte ne s’assimile ; aucune fleur que de spécieux taffetas et de délicats papiers peints n’égalent ! À n’en pas douter, cette sempiternelle radoteuse a maintenant usé la débonnaire admiration des vrais artistes, et le moment est venu où il s’agit de la remplacer, autant que faire se pourra, par l’artifice. Et puis, à bien discerner celle de ses œuvres considérée comme la plus exquise, celle de ses créations dont la beauté est, de l’avis de tous, la plus originale et la plus parfaite : la femme ; est-ce que l’homme n’a pas, de son côté, fabriqué, à lui tout seul, un être animé et factice qui la vaut amplement, au point de vue de la beauté plastique ? est-ce qu’il existe, ici-bas, un être conçu dans les joies d’une fornication et sorti des douleurs d’une matrice dont le modèle, dont le type soit plus éblouissant, plus splendide que celui de ces deux locomotives adoptées sur la ligne du chemin de fer du Nord ? L’une, la Crampton, une adorable blonde, à la voix aiguë, à la grande taille frêle, emprisonnée dans un étincelant corset de cuivre, au souple et nerveux allongement de chatte, une blonde pimpante et dorée, dont l’extraordinaire grâce épouvante lorsque, raidissant ses muscles d’acier, activant la sueur de ses flancs tièdes, elle met en branle l’immense rosace de sa fine roue et s’élance toute vivante, en tête des rapides et des marées ! L’autre, l’Engerth, une monumentale et sombre brune aux cris sourds et rauques, aux reins trapus, étranglés dans une cuirasse en fonte, une monstrueuse bête, à la crinière échevelée de fumée noire, aux six roues basses et accouplées ; quelle écrasante puissance lorsque, faisant trembler la terre, elle remorque pesamment, lentement, la lourde queue de ses marchandises !

Il n’est certainement pas, parmi les frêles beautés blondes et les majestueuses beautés brunes, de pareils types de sveltesse délicate et de terrifiante force ; à coup sûr, on peut le dire : l’homme a fait, dans son genre, aussi bien que le Dieu auquel il croit.

Mais le premier de tous est un savant illustre, qui n'appartient pas seulement à la Bretagne, mais à la France, le célèbre voyageur en Égypte, M. Caillaud. Doué de l'esprit le plus sagace et le plus pénétrant, il a fait en histoire naturelle plusieurs découvertes, une surtout, des plus intéressantes, pour laquelle la Hollande lui a décerné, il y a peu d'années, un prix extraordinaire, la découverte du procédé de perforation des pholades. On avait jusqu'alors cru que les pholades, petits mollusques très-communs sur les côtes de Bretagne, employaient, pour percer le dur granit où elles vivent, un acide qu'elles distillaient à travers les valves de leur coquille. M. Caillaud eut des doutes à ce sujet: il recueillit, près du Pouliguen, des pholades attachées à des morceaux de roc (gneiss), les plaça dans un bocal d'eau de mer incessamment renouvelée, et attendit l'effet de leur travail. Huit jours, quinze jours se passèrent sans que les pholades donnassent signe de vie, lorsqu'une nuit il fut éveillé par un bruit de scie qui retentissait dans le bocal; il se lève, et, à la lueur d'une lampe, il voit un des petits animaux se tournant et se retournant à droite et à gauche, avec un mouvement régulier, à la manière d'une vrille qui perce un trou; puis, après un certain temps, la pholade s'arrête, et un jet de poussière fine obscurcit l'eau du bocal; c'était le résidu de son travail, la partie du roc pulvérisé où elle avait pénétré, dont elle se débarrassait et qu'elle chassait au dehors. Et tour à tour le savant, attentif et charmé, surprend une à une les pholades accomplissant leur patient ouvrage, et se creusant leur demeure, l'arrondissant et la polissant, comme avec la râpe la plus délicate, sans autre instrument que leur coquille; et cette coquille, au lieu de se détériorer par le frottement continu, se développe à mesure que le travail avance; à la scie qui s'use une autre scie s'ajoute, puis une troisième, une quatrième, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à quarante, que M. Caillaud a comptées, et avec lesquelles le petit animal, à force de tourner et retourner sa frêle enveloppe, cette coquille que la pression d'un doigt d'enfant suffirait à briser, perce à jour le granit sur lequel s'émousse un ciseau de fer! phénomène admirable qui confond la sagesse humaine,

In an effort to encourage the uprising in Tibet, U.S. State Department officials in 1959 urged Chiang to offer recognition of “Tibet as an independent state” to solidify anti-Communist activities in Tibet.79 While Chiang did not in the end agree to this, the Nationalists did offer the roughly one hundred Khaches ROC citizenship and passports (they had left India prior to being granted Indian citizenship).

Never, never, never should a penny of that miraculous fortune be spent; rather should it be added to. It was a nest egg, a monstrous, roc-like nest egg, not so large, however, but that it could be made larger. Already by the end of that winter Trina had begun to make up the deficit of two hundred dollars that she had been forced to expend on the preparations for her marriage.

Unable to fly from his eyrie, she’d chosen to brave the precarious path down the rock face, one even a goat shifter with a death wish would walk away from.

—¿Te queda algo? —preguntó Aziz. Su amigo dudó y tragó saliva. El puntito de luz roja que era su ojo derecho tembló. —Ya sabes que no. Hace días que lo terminamos. —No me mentirías, ¿verdad? No a mí. Nos conocemos desde hace demasiado tiempo como para eso. No le mentirías a tu único amigo, a la persona que podría abandonarte aquí a tu suerte. —La sonrisa en el rostro de Aziz se apretó—. Dime, ¿sabrías encontrar el camino de vuelta sin mí? Roc acomodó su peso en el asiento y los amortiguadores gimieron. El vehículo que conducía estaba equipado para recorrer los desiertos, compuesto por un chasis de malla espacial que se asemejaba a una jaula sostenida por cuatro ruedas enormes. El cañón de un rifle de aspecto cruel asomaba a su lado, dispuesto a ser usado en caso de necesidad. Arrastraba un remolque de un eje que estaba cubierto por una lona, sin nada todavía con lo que cargar. El motor anclado en la parte de atrás del vehículo hacía un ruido infernal. —Tú nunca… —empezó a decir Roc. —¿Yo nunca te haría eso? —bufó Aziz—. Tal vez, pero cada día que pasamos aquí es peor que el anterior y todavía tenemos que volver. Es mucho tiempo, Roc. Muuuuucho tiempo. Quién sabe qué puede pasar por la cabeza de una persona tantos días aquí fuera. Y más si esa persona lleva ya demasiado tiempo sobrio.

She definitely liked him, physically at least, the way she’d wrapped around him like a cat earlier proof of that.

Call it what you will. One of you will stay—or all will stay. The tax will be paid.” And the rocs dropped lower yet. “Poll your number to determine the one.

Why did Du Fu write so many poems expressing his fondness for Li Bai, while Li wrote so few? Some have explained it by saying that many of Li Bai’s poems have been lost, and the lost works must have included many about Du Fu. This is a charitable interpretation, and it might even be true, but there is little point in us trying to impose equality on their friendship from our vantage point, centuries later. They were two very different personalities. Despite this, they were both great friends, models for generations to come. When a roc and a swan goose come together, their wing beats shred the air, and all creation looks up in wonder, but when they separate, the swan goose sings on and on of their encounter, while the roc has long since disappeared over the southern reaches or the northern oceans. It knows no bonds; it knows no obstacles. They are very different, these two, but they are both masters of the air, glories of the world.

He went then to the big slate upon which, only as a reminder, he sometimes chalked his menus, scrawled: Anguilles au Gris, Vert, et Rouge Anchois Robespierre Oeufs de Rocs en Gelée Veloute d’Eperlans Central Park Agulhacreola au Sauce Nacre Sylphides à la Crème de Lion Mann Endive Belge au Goo Grives, Becfigues, et Béguinettes et Merles de Corse Bubu Bubu, avidly watching, swelled with pride. Etienne must indeed be in a magnificent mood thus to honor him in naming a brand new dish. Etienne cocked his head and grinned at Bubu’s glee, scrawled on: Hamburger 61st Street Coots avec Leeks Navets Farcis Bleu Ballotines de Oison Mercedes He stopped and was thoughtful,

Tanto Lennon como McCartney tuvieron muchísima prensa por sus intentos de llevar el tema de Irlanda a las letras del roc&roll. Para mí todo eso es terriblemente irrelevante. Sin hacer aspavientos, Rory Gallagher ha hecho lo única que un rockero puede hacer por Belfast ¡y esto es ir y tocar en el maldito lugar!

Noble born,” Roc fills in, as if he can read the questions on my face.  He spins us and I melt into his movements.  “Our family founded a society known as the Bone Society. Keepers of Time. Creators of Time. It was necessary, considering what we are. But beyond the beasts, we were the elite.” He laughs and the sound rumbles deeply through his chest. “Vane and I grew up in manor houses and castles, every whim catered to.”  I can’t imagine Vane being one of those wealthy spoiled assholes I came to know so well in my world. The kind of men who believed everything belonged to them, and if it didn’t, they would take it.

The Lornes wanted revenge, of course, and who could blame them? Except they didn’t kill me. They raped our sister and then killed her in front of us.”  The music stops and we come to a halt. I’m jarred by the story and by the absence of the music and I sway on my feet as Roc steps back and claps again for the band, like he didn’t just tell me a story that would break any heart. I am not clapping. 

A tear runs down my face before I realize I’m crying. I know cruelty exists in the world. But it pisses me off that it does. Roc reaches over and swipes away the tear with the pad of his thumb. “Don’t cry, little girl,” he says. “It was a long time ago.”  “Yes, but time means nothing to heartbreak.”  And my heart is breaking for Vane all over again.  I catch the sinking line of Roc’s Adam’s apple as he swallows. “I suppose you’re right.” 

Time for me to go, little girl,” Roc whispers in my ear. He brings with him the scent of smoke and burning tobacco. “I enjoyed our dance and I hope it won’t be our last.” I turn, unsure of how to respond, but having the overwhelming feeling I should say something. But Roc is already gone.

Miguel: We’ve only gone over 100x! Mika: K—gonna roc!! Billy: Glad ur babysitting, dumbass. U know how 2 shoot, right? Mika: Screw u! Kevin: Cut the crap—stay focused treat us like animals we’ll show them animals Mika: Hear that! Miguel: Payback a bitch!

Here’s a nice paper on it by Tom Fawcett, “Introduction to ROC Analysis”.

Sound the call to attention,” Ned told the bugler. The goblin put the instrument to his lips, but after a pause he lowered it. “What’s that sound like? I forget.” Ned strained his memory. It’d been a while since he’d heard it himself. “I think it goes da-da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, dum-dum-da-dee.” “Begging your pardon, sir, but that’s the dismissal song,” said Frank. “Call to attention has more pep. Da-dee-da-dee, dum-dum-dee-dum, dee-dee, I believe.” “I thought it was more like dee-dee-dee-dee, dum-dum-dee-, dee-dee-doh,” said Gabel. “You’re both wrong,” countered Regina. “It’s dum-dum-dee-dee, dum-dum-dee-dum.” “That’s the orcish wedding march,” said Gabel. “Call to attention has more ooomphh.” “What’s ooomphh?” asked Frank. “It’s half the pep,” said Gabel, “and about three-quarters more pizzazz.” “There’s no pizzazz in the call to attention,” said Regina, “and if you ask me, he’s already overdoing the pep.” The insulted bugler balked. “My pep is always dead-on, I’ll have you know. My pizzazz is nearly perfect. I’ll grant you my ooomphh isn’t always on target, but I’d say a touch more shebang and a healthy dose of zing is what’s required here. I could throw in a little wawawa as well. That never hurts.” “There’s no place for wawawa in legitimate military music,” said Regina. “Yes,” agreed Gabel. “Just stick with the ooomphh.” “No shebang either?” said the bugler. “I guess you could put in a little shebang,” said Gabel, “but if I even hear one note of wawawa I’ll have you thrown in the brig.” Though small, the bugler’s slight chest was mostly lungs, and he unleashed a long blast of musical improvisation. The discordant tune filled the citadel. The orcs and goblins nodded along appreciatively, while everyone else covered their ears. The powerful sound floated all the way to the roc pens where the giant birds proceeded to tear at each other in panicked alarm. Caught up in the performance, the bugler kept on playing until Ned gave the order to stop, and Regina yanked away his instrument. The sweaty bugler gasped. “How was that?” “Too much zoop,” said Frank. “Not enough zing,” added Gabel. “No bop at all,” said Regina. The goblin snatched back his bugle. “Everybody’s a critic.

Hair Spells #2 – To Make Your Hair Grow Items needed to perform this spell: 1 candle (any color).  A cloth.  Dirt. Water.   Light the candle and allow the wax to drip into the water while saying the following:   Colored wax infest this water, And from the flame make it grow hotter, And from the mixture soon to be, Grow some hair for all to see.   Then mix in the dirt while chanting:   From within this dirt small seeds do be, Way to small for thee to see, Yet from the life force in the seeds, Hair shall grow like nasty weeds.   Once you have a thick mixture, stop and use the cloth to strain the muddy water. It is this muddy water which contains the hair growing magic. This water should then be mixed with shampoo and applied to your head to help your hair grow.           Diet

Tout commence par une grande fête.Les amis viennent, le célébrant dit un tas de choses qu'il a répétées dans des centaines de mariages où il officiait, comme cette idée de construire une maison dans le roc, et non dans le sable, les invités nous jettent du riz. Nous jetons le bouquet, les femmes célibataires nous envient secrètement ; les mariées savent que nous sommes au début d'un chemin qui n'est pas ce qu'on l9it ;odna ns les contes de fées.

Yet I had become very attached to George Roc. I liked him, not for the joy of playing with him, not for some talent that made him stand out from the rest, not even for his kindness: above all, I liked him because he was always sad and because the things he told me caused me a degree of pain.....George Roc was the first being that I'd met who saw and felt himself unhappy.

What did I want? I wanted a Roc’s egg. I wanted a harem loaded with lovely odalisques less than the dust beneath my chariot wheels, the rust that never stained my sword. I wanted raw red gold in nuggets the size of your fist, and feed that lousy claim jumper to the huskies! I wanted to get up feeling brisk and go out and break some lances, then pick a likely wench for my droit du seigneur – I wanted to stand up to the Baron and dare him to touch my wench! I wanted to hear the purple water chuckling against the skin of the Nancy Lee in the cool of the morning watch and not another sound, nor any movement save the slow tilting of the wings of the albatross that had been pacing us the last thousand miles. I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, “The game’s afoot!” I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John, and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and to eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon. I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be the way they had promised me it was going to be, instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is.

To measure how well a firm is investing its capital, we can look at the after-tax operating income relative to the capital invested in the firm, where capital is defined as the sum of the book values (BV) of debt and equity, net of cash, and marketable securities. This is the return on capital (ROC) or return on invested capital (ROIC) and it is computed as follows:

snatch a steak knife from a table and send it sailing across the room, aimed right for Roc’s head. But he catches it at the last second. Plucks it from the air, just like that. Then he reaches for Darling and takes a fistful of her hair and yanks her to her feet. He puts her back to his chest and wraps his arm around her, the sharp edge of the blade pressed against her throat. “Don’t do this,” I tell him. He nods at the princess splayed on the floor. “Fix her.” “It doesn’t work like that.” He presses the blade against Darling’s throat and blood beads beneath it. Through gritted teeth, I tell him, “I’m going to kill you.

There is a dead queen lying on the tavern floor and a princess not far behind. I’m not sure about the youngest girl, but I think it’s safe to assume she’s dead too. “Fine,” I tell Roc. “Let me go to her.” Darling’s black eyes are trained on me. I have no time to question how she got Neverland’s Death Shadow or how much it’s taken over. No time to contemplate the consequences of her having it.

Some say ruhking is a calling. For me it was an answer to a question that had bored clear through my soul. I had a hole worn through my center, like one of Arnan’s interesting blue river stones. People have admired rocs for centuries. Artists paint them, sculpt them, tell stories about them. I wanted to be one. I wanted to be the monster that kills other monsters.

Péribonka, c'est un chemin creusé par des géants à même le roc. Cette nature indomptée et somptueuse m'a libérée de l'horizon.

Lucky for you, Hook,” Peter Pan says, “I’m feeling generous today.” He gestures to the twins and Bash takes the Crocodile while Kas helps me to my feet. Peter Pan straightens my jacket, smooths down the tattered lapel. “You’ll leave my island. You have two days. You’ll take Cherry with you. If either of you sets foot on my island again, I will string you both up from my tower and watch you hang.” I bristle beneath his commands. “This is my home. You can’t—” “I can. I will. And you will do as I tell you.” He curls his hand around the curved tine of my hook and in an instant, it bends back into a snake and slithers up my arm. “For fuck’s sake!” The snake hisses at me and I knock it away. “And take the Crocodile with you too,” Pan says. Bash shoves Roc back at me and I catch him around the waist. “The Crocodile” —I leverage him up and lean him against my hip— “isn’t my problem.” “He is now,” Vane says. “Don’t forget to feed and water him.” The twins laugh.

When I became a mother to Roc and Roe, my heart grew two times over; as my capacity for pure love expanded, the ability to tow heavy pain from my past diminished. Healthy, powerful love did that for me: it illuminated the dark spots and unearthed buried hurt. The new, clear light that emanates from my children’s love now rushes through every artery, every cell, every dark nook and cranny of my being.

Tesorero:Bienvenidos amigos a la Fiesta de 19 Días, soy yo su Tesorero  para este año … Gumbercindo:Permiso, Tesorero. T:​Gumbercindo, estoy hablando sobre el fondo. G:​Sí, precisamente, quiero hablar contigo sobre el fondo. T:​Ahora, no. El fondo es un asunto confidencial. G:​¡Oh, pero confío en ti! T:​Está bien, Gumbercindo. Dime. G:​He decidido no dar al Fondo Nacional. T:​¿Verdad? ¿Por qué no? G:​Bueno, leí el informe del Tesorero Nacional y dice que todo está bien. T:​No tanto.

T:​Cierto, pero fueron contribuciones simbólicas … G:​Pues, ya que la Asamblea Nacional tiene muchos cuartos, no necesita lo mío. T:​Tu sabes, mi querido Gumbercindo, que dar al fondo es voluntario. G:​Lo sé. T:​Pero también es un asunto de consciencia. G:​Así mismo, estoy consciente de que no necesita lo mío. T:​¿Por qué el Fondo Nacional tiene un poco de dinero? G:​Si, por eso. No necesita lo mío T:​¿Dónde obtuvo la Asamblea ese dinero? G:​Los donantes donaron. Por eso. No necesita lo mío. T:​¿Para qué usan ese dinero? G:​Para promover actividades. No necesita lo mío. T:​¿Cuáles son las actividades financiadas con el fondo? G:​Círculos de estudio, clases de niños y pre-jóvenes, reuniones devocionales y de reflexión. Muchas cosas. No necesita lo mío. T:​¿Cuál es el objetivo de todas esas actividades? G:​Difundir la Luz de Bahá para que ilumine el mundo oscuro. Salvar a la humanidad. No necesita lo mío. T:​¿No quieres formar parte de eso? G:​ No sería mal. No necesita lo mío.

He thought: it is a pity that there are no big creatures to prey on humanity. If there were enough dragons and rocs, perhaps mankind would turn its might against them. Unfortunately man is preyed upon by microbes, which are too small to be appreciated.

Expanding their power when the Soviet Union fell apart, the security services reached deeply into the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). The subservience of the Church to the state, which existed

Ranulf Higden, a Benedictine monk who mapped the world about 1350, claimed that Africa contained one-eyed people who used their feet to cover their heads. A geographer in the next century announced that the continent held people with one leg, three faces, and the heads of lions. In 1459, an Italian monk, Fra Mauro, declared Africa the home of the roc, a bird so large that it could carry an elephant through the air.

the moment, and she texted back that she was at the Hôtel du Cap with two of her daughters. He responded immediately, said he was on his boat in St. Jean Cap Ferrat, and was heading in her direction that afternoon. Would she and her daughters like to have dinner on his yacht? He said he would be honored, and Véronique was amused. She thought it would be fun for the girls to meet him. And she imagined that seeing his boat would be entertaining for them, too. She knew he had several, and it would be nice to see him. She texted back that they would be delighted, and he answered that his tender would pick them up at eight o’clock at the dock at Eden Roc. She told the girls about it when they got back from swimming. “Nikolai who?” Juliette asked with a puzzled expression. She had never heard of him, and couldn’t imagine how her mother knew him. “You know how I hate boats, Mom. They always make me sick.” “I have a feeling his is big enough that you won’t get seasick. Let’s do it.” She hadn’t seen him since they’d had dinner on the terrace of his suite in Rome, when he’d nearly killed her

The Provider Several crows were lined up along the ridge of a quite ordinary house. 'These ridge poles are a good idea,' said a young one. 'Who dreamed it up?' 'This place of rest is a fortuitous gift from the moon,' said a raven who was mixing with the hoi polloi today. 'The moon is a relative of the roc, a distant cousin of mine. Believe me,' he said, stretching his wings out to their full advantage and pushing the crows at the end off balance, so several leaped into the wind and cried, 'caw' . . . 'it depends on your original stock. I've got a piece of the roc.' The moon rose spectral and drained, a gossamer imprint of her nighttime self, a reminder of crystal fracture, the load of swinging primitive stones, the ancient hairy arms with slingshots. A sudden explosion and the sky was defined with flapping and cawing. 'What was that?' cried the young one who was addicted to awe. 'Who knows?' replied the raven. 'Often the moon demands a sacrifice. As a close relative, it is now my duty to go and eat the meat. For it is said, nothing is wasted; nothing is without purpose.' And the raven rose and flew toward the hunters.

Trusting and soft… when she was asleep… but he knew she’d be pissed as all hell when she woke. A right little fire-cracker with a sharp tongue and a sharper temper.

I'm sure it's all worth it. It's just a totally different world, and it's one I doubt I'll ever understand. Our worlds couldn't be further apart. And yet here we are. You and me. Sitting on the deck of my villa at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, drinking champagne. It looks like our worlds have collided very well.

Price must be above $5.00 20 day Volume average must be above 100,000. On the first day of the bullish engulfing pattern, the SPY must have a 40 day MA above a 120 day MA.

If all rules are met, buy on the next day open. Apply a profit target that is 6% higher than the entry price. If the profit target is not hit….

Paul tried to go in the room anyway, but Maman started to shut the door. Ellie managed to whoosh in just before she closed it tight. Paul’s whole body was shaking. Somehow, he made it back to the radio room. Mrs. Bernard took Paul gently by the hand. “Your mother has helped wounded soldiers before,” she said quietly. “Our group has helped rescue nearly fifty Allied pilots who crashed around Le Roc over the years. She knows what to do.” Paul sat down at the table, where Pierre was telling Mr. Leon what happened. “There were two guards in front of the barn, just as we expected,” Pierre said. He had his boot off. His ankle was swollen like a melon. It looked broken, or at least very badly sprained.

Momentum investing relies heavily on a number of technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Averages, Rate of Change (ROC), and Average Directional Index (ADX). For example, when the 50-day moving average of an asset crosses over the 200-day moving average, it signals a rising momentum and generates a ‘buy’ signal.
