Anyone who reads my journal posts know that I have been struggling with the death of my daughter and trying to figure out Why?? Well believe it or not, I believe God is sending me the answer to the question I have cried and asked him every night since losing Layla. When in Washington, D.C. I met some incredible people-I call them my angels. They were parents just like me-children in D.C. for heart surgery. One of the couples came from the same town I live in and we became very close. We leaned on each other during times of despair, tiredness, worry, we kept each other afloat. We prayed together and for each others children, who in part became part of each of our families. There was so much love in this group of strangers that became friends for life.
One of my "angels" called me yesterday to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and to see how I was doing. While on the phone, she informed me the couple I met from my hometown had been back in Washington, she saw the hubby when she took her son for a doctor's appointment. I told her I didn't know and felt so bad because you would have thought I would have known, they live 10 minutes from me. Truth is, like I explained to her, I felt bad,scared to talk to them/see them. I felt bad because their child was home and mine was not-angry. I just couldn't see him home and know he was in worse shape than Layla when he came their. See he had a 50% chance of survival and Layla had a 90% chance. Instead, Layla left and he survived. I was angry that my baby was gone and their son was here. It wasn't supposed to be that way.
Anyway, this morning I mustered up the courage to call and ask how everything was. I was told since we returned in January they had to rush him back there for emergency surg, his valve was leaking into his stomach. They say he had only a slim chance of survival-he had to be cut open and another heart surg had to be performed. I was so sad and felt so terrible as a Christian and human being. I explained to her why I hadn't called or come by to visit and she understood. As a matter of fact her hubby and her had talked about that last week. That is why they hadn't been around me with their son, they didn't want to feel as if they were throwing him in my face.
After the conversation, I lay down and thought about what she was going through as a mother- 2 heart surg in less than 3 months and she still had her faith. I thought about her son, 6 years old, once running and very active, now going through this, something no child should have to undergo. It came to me! God spared my Layla from this type of life, spared me. I would never want her to suffer, she was only a baby. I remembered praying the day she passed away, asking God not to let her suffer, I felt even though she was out of it with the meds, that she was not happy. She was an active baby before, laughing, crawling, play fighting. Would I have wanted her to hurt, have all those surgeries? NO!!!
God made it where she would never go through that pain and inactivity again. I fell asleep and dreamed of her with the tubes in her and awoke crying. I looked at her picture and told her I didn't want her to suffer and that I loved her enough to give her to God, who had given her a little while to me. It doesn't make me hurt any less, but I do now understand.
Who says there aren't angels or a God?? Look how he let this happen through my angels to bring me some peace!

An oil leak was caused by an improper paint job that led to a switch not working properly, while inadequate taping led to cracks in cockpit glass, and a faulty part led to braking problems, according to the Transport Ministry's investigation released Friday into problems that occurred with the 787 Dreamliner in January.
The government issued orders to fix the problems with 787s operated by Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, the country's two major carriers and the biggest customers for Boeing Co.'s new jet.
All 50 of the 787 jets in service around the world have been grounded for more than a month after a lithium-ion battery in a 787 operated by ANA overheated Jan. 16, forcing an emergency landing in western Japan. Earlier in January, a lithium-ion battery caught fire in a Japan Airlines 787 parked in Boston.
Boeing and U.S. authorities are also investigating, but Friday's findings shed little light on the main problem.
The 787 is the first jet to extensively use lithium-ion batteries, which weigh less, charge faster and are more powerful than other kinds of batteries. Japanese manufacturer GS Yuasa makes the batteries for Boeing.
The aircraft manufacturer said earlier this week that it intends to propose to U.
A fix for the 787 batteries would require stopping an uncontrolled overheating reaction called "thermal runaway," in which the battery gets hotter and hotter, and short-circuits spread from one battery cell to another.
The battery problems are not necessarily linked to their manufacturer and could come from the myriads of parts and systems connected to the battery.
Separately, the Japanese ministry said this week it had found the ANA jet's auxiliary power unit had been erroneously wired to the main battery that overheated.
ANA, which has 17 Dreamliners in its fleet, and JAL, with seven, have had to cancel hundreds of flights over the 787 woes.
JAL and ANA have released plans for flights without the 787 through the end of March, but have not said what they plan to do in the long term. Both companies have said they are ready to seek compensation from Boeing.

Fordham starts off 3-0 for the first time in 25 years.
There was under 5 minutes to go in the game when quarterback Michael Nebrich stepped back on the field with his offense, down 29-23 to Temple. The Rams had been up 20-7 at one point, but the return of Owls quarterback Connor Reilly sparked the offense. Nebrich remained poised, even after barely converting two 4 plays on the last drive of the game. With just seconds left, Nebrich threw it 29 yards to wideout Sam Ajala for the score and the win.
On the One on One post game report, I had a chance to catch up with Mike Watts and Mack Rosenberg, the announcers for the game. They gave their insights into the hard fought win, especially all of nail-biting moments of Fordham's last drive. Both discussed the tremendous play of Nebrich - 23 for 36, 320 yards and 2 touchdowns. They also mentioned kicker Mike Marando and his career high 47 yard field goal. DJ Sixsmith, the sideline reporter, got the chance to talk to an excited Coach Joe Moorehead, drenched from his Gatorade bath.
This victory gives the Rams back to back upsets and has the chance to make them a real contender for a potential FCS top 25 ranking. The focus now shifts to rival Columbia for the Battle of the Liberty Cup. Fordham's taken the victory the last 3 years and they go for 4 next week.
Listen below to our One on One Post Game Report, featuring DJ's interview with Coach Joe Moorehead.

Cal Poly Pomona didn't play like a team that hadn't been in the playoffs in 19 years.
The Broncos chalked up a 10-4 win over Western Oregon in the NCAA Division II West Regional at UC San Diego. Cal Poly battled from a 4-1 deficit, evened the score in the sixth and put the pedal to the medal with six in the eighth.
Give Cal Poly starter Erick Ruvalcaba credit for battling back after a shaky start to give his team a chance.
Michael Parker was impressive on the mound after that, retiring 10 of the 11 hitters he faced. The exclamation point came when he struck out the side in the ninth.
The Broncos had 12 hits with Travis Taijeron getting three, two of those doubles.
Tyson Edwards had a two-run double that tied the game at 4 and a sacrifice fly that made it 5-4. Jordan Whitman also had a two-run double in the eighth.
The Broncos advance to face either Sonoma State or UC San Diego at 6 p.m. on Friday. Kevin Bosson will be the mound.
This is an underdog team playing with a lot of poise and confidence.

Not such a Happy Valley
But then the Nittany Lions got their biggeest win in years. The stadium was alive and fans were going crazy. This was the type of thing that changes around a bad week, the kind of thing that makes college memorable. Maybe things were going to turn around for poor Nathan Lehman.
Did Lehman celebrate by hugging strangers in the stands? Did he join in a rousing chorus of Fight On State? Did he whip out his cell phone to take a picture of the moment? Nope, none of these. He stormed the field.
OK, there's nothing wrong with that. Most any college student worth their discounted season tickets has done that and it's pretty much required after any half-assed win in college hoops games. But Lehman didn't join a group in trying to take down the goal posts, or seek out the players to give them a pat on the shoulder pads. Instead, this kid with a totally clean record "tackled university police officer Cyprien Brien, punching him in the face and putting him in a headlock that left him with bruised neck ligaments," according to authorities.
Good thing he's religious and doesn't drink.
Lehman, who claimed he just snapped, pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge and was sentenced to four to 23 ½ months in prison, with eligibility for work release, and a $1,000 fine.
If this is how Lehman decided to celebrate a win, imagine what he would have done had PSU lost.
5 comments:
Perhaps two days sleeping outside of Beaver Stadium left Lehman under the influence of a newly grown buckstache. Why didn't his defense team think of this?

Good thing he wasn't at Michigan Stadium when Mario Manningham caught the game winning touchdown pass after the time had expired.
If he "snaps" at a great win, I imagine his response to a last second loss would trigger detonating the vest of pipe bombs he's wearing or perhaps spraying the stands with an automatic weapon.
- June 15, 2006 12:12 PM
Some universities have responded to the destruction of goalposts by installing collapseable posts (they are lowered at the end of each game). They cite the numerous injuries that occur each year from rioting students as they tear down the structures.
So... how does PSU intend on responding to this?
I have an answer: attack dogs. Nothing squelches a celebratory fit of rage like a K9's teeth on your nuts.
- June 15, 2006 1:44 PM
Good reply though I think it woul be better for Lehman to go mano a mmano against Joe Pa in the UFC.
- June 15, 2006 7:42 PM
There is an ominous element to this article. First, when Baggypants references using pipe bombs and automatic weapons, it is surprising neither has occurred at a game. A bipartisan panel of experts recently announced the gravest threat posed by terrorists in the US are precisely those kinds of actions. Second, however bizarre, hitherto normal college students occasionally do terrible things and suffer gravely. A high school acquaintance of mine went to Yale as an undergraduate (when the drinking age was still 18). After a freshman party at which he got drunk, he tripped, slammed his head against a car bumper while falling, and died of a subdural hematoma. This is not an urban myth: it happened in the fall of 1980 to someone I knew reasonably well. What may be most surprising is not that horrible things happen but that they do not occur more often.

Endo Health Solutions Reaffirms 2012 Adjusted Earnings Per Share Outlook and Provides 2013 Financial Guidance
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 3, 2013 04:30 PM
CHADDS FORD, Pa., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Endo Health Solutions (Nasdaq: ENDP) today reaffirmed its non-GAAP 2012 financial outlook, commented on certain expected 2012 GAAP charges, and provided its current outlook for non-GAAP financial performance for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
Endo continues to expect that 2012 adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) will be at or below the low end of its previous guidance range of $5.00 to $5.10. In addition, as part of the company's regular financial reporting process, it expects to record in fiscal 2012, certain pre-tax GAAP charges, including a non-cash asset impairment charge related primarily to goodwill attributable to the company's acquisition of American Medical Systems and other one-time cash charges related to legal proceedings. These charges are currently expected to materially reduce reported diluted (GAAP) EPS in 2012 to amounts materially below the company's previously announced guidance range of $0.87 to $0.97. In this context, the company now plans to increase its reserve associated with resolution of the ongoing governmental investigation with respect to LIDODERM® promotional practices from approximately $53 million, recognized during the third quarter of 2012, to approximately $194 million, which is the company's best current estimate of this liability.
The company expects to finalize and announce its 2012 operating and financial results by the end of February.
The company also provided its current outlook for non-GAAP financial performance for the year ending December 31, 2013 as follows:
Endo's estimates are based on projected results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013. In addition, Endo's 2013 guidance is based on certain assumptions including:
These estimates reflect management's current expectations for Endo's performance in 2013. Actual results may vary, whether as a result of market conditions, including increased generic competition for OPANA ER and LIDODERM or other factors. In addition, 2013 GAAP figures would include the amortization of purchased intangible assets, costs related to certain litigation, potential impairments of intangible assets, certain other GAAP charges and related tax effects, the amounts for which are excluded from our adjusted operating results. No reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided because the majority of these excluded amounts are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The non-GAAP data presented by Endo are the results used by Endo's management to evaluate the operational performance of the company, to compare against the company's work plans and budgets, and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management. Endo provides such non-GAAP data to investors as supplemental data and not in substitution or replacement for GAAP results, because management believes such data provides useful information to investors. Except as expressly required by law, Endo disclaims any intent or obligation to update these statements.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – The McGladrey Classic still isn't sure what kind of field to expect as a regular PGA Tour event in November, about a month later than usual, and one week after most of the top players are in Shanghai for the HSBC Champions. For crowd appeal, the tournament received a boost from the commitment of Darren Clarke.
Considering the host at Sea Island – Davis Love III – that should not be all that surprising.
Clarke, a most popular British Open champion two years ago at Royal St. George's and for years the lovable, cigar-chomping, Ryder Cup regular, decided this year to take up PGA Tour membership and play a full schedule. His first stop in America is Sea Island.
The long friendship between Clarke and Love is best illustrated in match play on two occasions in 2004.
During the semifinals of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, Love rallied to force extra holes. The greens were so bumpy at La Costa that Love, not wanting to see the match end with a missed putt, conceded par putts from 4- to 5-foot range on consecutive holes. Love won in 21 holes.
Later that year, in the Ryder Cup, Love put his tee shot on 18 in the rough. He could have widened his stance for a high cut shot and taken relief because his foot would have been on a sprinkler. He chose to play the ball where it was because such a shot would have been impractical. They halved the match.
"He said I was honest with my drop in the rough," Love recalled last month at Sea Island. "Darren is just one of those guys like Freddie (Couples). Everywhere he plays, people like watching him."
Love still isn't sure how Clarke decided on Sea Island. He said Scott Reid, the McGladrey Classic tournament director, heard a rumor Clarke might be playing and asked Love to try to close the deal. Too late. Turns out Clarke already had committed as Love was sending him a text.

The Argentina international has already featured in 38 official matches for the Blaugrana this term, netting 49 goals in the process, and he has no intention of taking his foot off the gas any time soon.
"For years now I've been used to playing a lot of matches. My body feels better if it doesn't rest," the prolific attacker told Barca TV.
"The most important thing is to win matches. If I can help with goals, then that's always better."
The attacker then went on to discuss Barcelona's results in recent seasons, and stressed that they will eventually get the credit he feels they deserve.
"The dynamic of competitive football doesn't allow us to enjoy what this team is achieving, but maybe in the future it will be given the credit it deserves."
Barca are currently preparing for the Copa del Rey match at home against Real Madrid on Tuesday. They recorded a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the semi-final.

Floyd "Bud" Anderson may be ready to take a break from Log Lane Village politics, but he's still willing to offer his ideas and advice to those willing to listen.
The 80-year-old Anderson has lived in Log Lane since 1989, and in later years he has been heavily entrenched his town's government, serving multiple stints on the board of trustees and as mayor.
"I know at the times I served, we did a lot of good things for the town," he said.
Earlier, working years
Anderson grew up in Platner and went to high school in Akron. After he graduated in 1952, he joined the U.S. Navy in 1953.
He served four years in the Seabees, which is the Navy's Construction Battalion, as a gas mechanic. Midway Island and Korea were among the places he served. In Korea, "we'd wake up every morning to gunfire," he recalled.
But after two years of sea duty, Anderson was given shore duty as a small arms instructor at the base pistol range in San Diego.
"At the end of four years, I was done with it," he said. "I wasn't married, but they were sending everyone to Adac, Alaska, and I didn't want to go."
He left the Navy and moved back to Colorado, where he worked at a gas station before starting a custom crop cutting business with the John Deere swather he bought. He also worked construction in Sterling and managed the trailer park in Akron where he lived.
In 1960, he became an electric lineman for Y-W Electric Association in Akron, and after about four years he became the "main man" in Wray.
In 1968, he jumped at an opportunity to go to work for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at a substation by State Highway 71. After about seven years, he became an electrician for 18 substations in northeast Colorado for the bureau. Another seven years later, he became foreman, supervising four people.
In 1986, he met his wife, Betty, at a dance at the veterans' club in Brush. They were married in 1990. It was the second marriage for each, and together they have a total of eight kids, as well as 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
But right before they got married, they bought their home in Log Lane.
"We gutted it," he recalled. "The only thing left is the fireplace."
Bud retired in April 1993.
"I've been very happy ever since," he said.
Getting involved
After a couple other odd jobs to stave off boredom, some travelling and time spent collecting and restoring Cushman motor scooters, Bud was getting well settled into retired life when another opportunity popped up.
Sylvia McKie was the mayor of Log Lane in the early 1990s, and she "convinced me to run for the board," Bud said. "I was on the board off-and-on two or three times. I was pretty proud of it. When I came on the board, (Public Works Director) Bert Kammerzell didn't have any tools. That really helped him out."
There also were stints for him as the town's mayor pro tem, then mayor, then back to trustee, then mayor, then off the board for a while, then back to trustee and then off again — this time, maybe for good.
For quite a while after he left the board this last time, Bud would still go to the monthly regular meetings to add his thoughts on issues.
But he's mostly stopped that now, as the board has faced some challenges with personality conflicts, employee issues and dissenting views on the town's direction.
"I got so frustrated, I won't go back," he said. "Being 80 years old, the strain on my health isn't worth it. I'm so disgusted with what is going on in Log Lane."
Yet, with a new board having been elected April 1, Bud always could change his mind.
Bud repeatedly has shown he is someone who genuinely cares about his town and is willing to put his ideas out there.
For example, he said he is OK with the board's decision to allow marijuana dispensaries and stores.
"The reason I would be for it: We have no other way of bringing money in," he said. "Our streets need replaced."
Bud said the board would need to be careful with how it spends any new revenue from marijuana-related establishments, though.
"The town's got to grow, and I think the marijuana thing's going to give it some money," he said.

Fran and I visited Longwood Gardens (www.longwoodgardens.org/) last Friday for the annual Christmas display. Since we both dislike driving, we went on a bus with a local garden group, Countryside Garden Club. An early afternoon departure got us there just before the outside lights turned on.
We had plenty of time to wander through the gardens enjoying the fantastic tree structures and beautiful barks visible on the bare trees. The Conservatory was beautiful as usual with the reflecting pond/Exhibition Hall set as an incredibly long dinner table. While I generally dislike pink, there was an excellent pairing of a white-with-pink-accent amaryllis and dark pink orchids in the main exhibit. Fran particularly liked the exhibit in the Music Room; it had a fantastic antique garden telescope as part of the display. We also squeezed through the Children's Garden, enjoying the whimsical fountains and fun-filled gardens.

Usually Kevin Huber is back punting in late March. His only concession to last year's horrific season-ending broken jaw in Pittsburgh is that he has yet to have a full kicking session. He'll be surprised if he won't be having those next month when the Bengals take their voluntary workouts to the field.
"I'm pretty much doing most stuff. There's some restrictions lifting wise, but outside of that I'm doing pretty close to most stuff. I'm just holding back on a few things until everything is fully cleared," Huber said Monday, the first day of voluntary workouts at Paul Brown Stadium. "I'm able to do some kicking now. I've started getting back into swinging the leg some. I haven't had full kicking sessions yet, but I'm going to start trying to get back into that here pretty soon."
Huber is still playing down the Dec. 15 block by Steelers rookie linebacker Terence Garvin that not only broke his jaw, but left him with a hairline fracture of the cervical vertebrae. Not to mention Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's 67-yard kick return for a touchdown. He said Garvin did leave a voice mail on his cell phone when he was in surgery, but he texted Garvin back and said not to worry about it. It was a clean, good football shot. But he won't be wary of mixing it up again, thanks to special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons.
"(Garvin) didn't have to. I sent him a text back said I appreciate the call, "Huber said. "I'm sure I'm going to have to be (an active tackler) because otherwise Darrin will probably yell at me. Not that I was very active to begin with. I don't have very many tackles in my stat book, but I'll still try."
Huber's jaw was wired shut long enough to lose 15 pounds, but he's been freed from the wires for about four month, enough time to put weight back on. He celebrated his first solid food with a cheeseburger, but he remembers what he was feeling. He tweeted his best wishes to Reds closer Aroldis Chapman after he was felled by a line shot back to the mound last month that broke facial bones.
"I sent that out because I went through something like that and it's tough to see someone go through that," Huber said. "The guy not too long ago that got hit in the face with a fastball, I saw that too. He got beat up pretty bad with that. It's tough to see something like that happen. Sounds like Chapman's coming back pretty strong. I saw he was in the bullpen the other day. So hopefully he can come back and be pitching again soon."
SLANTS AND SCREENS: Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver
The Bengals confirmed they had picked up the 2015 option on Green, their right since he was a top ten pick in 2011. Bengals president Mike Brown said last month at the NFL meetings the team was going to exercise the $10.17 million option. It doesn't preclude them from getting a long-term deal, but Brown said they're trying to get the quarterback puzzle done first since they don't have an option on
Green addressed the concept of the option and distraction earlier in the day."I'm still under contract. That's one thing I don't ever worry about," Green said. "That business side. I feel like my body of work speaks for itself. So whenever the time is right, it happens." ...
The Bengals are getting two new coordinators and yet players couldn't talk to them until Monday, per the collective bargaining agreement. Like Hue Jackson's offense, the Bengals aren't making many major changes on Paul Guenther's defense.
But left end
"You can't sit in a meeting, but I saw (a couple of coaches). A lot of coaches, during the offseason that's when they get their workouts and their beach bodies or whatever you want to call it," Dunlap said. "So I was here for three days and I wanted to get some workouts in so I was working out here while I was in town." …
Wide receiver
"It's not necessarily (like) the first day of school," Jones said. "If you would have told me this last year, it's 'Oh my gosh, I can't wait to get back.' But now, we're all familiar with each other and we're just glad that everybody's back and we can go and start training and start having fun." ...
Right end Michael Johnson is gone but not forgotten. He may be playing for the Buccaneers now, but some of his old linemates are headed to Selma, Ala., this weekend to work his football camp. Count in one of the guys taking his job, fellow Alabama native
"That's my guy. He has a camp this Friday and Saturday and me, Geno (Atkins), Carlos, Jumpy (

Scouting for Food drive starts Saturday with distribution of bags
The Narragansett Council Boy Scouts of America will launch its 25th annual Scouting for Food Drive, the largest food drive in New England, beginning this Saturday. Thousands of Boy Scouts from more than 200 different packs and troops will be going around communities all across the state, dropping off bags for the collection of non-perishable food items. The bags will be collected the following Saturday, Nov. 3 with the food going to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank in Providence. Warwick is expected to have approximately 520 scouts canvassing the city during the drive, while Cranston and Johnston will have roughly 480 and 60 scouts in their towns, respectively.
The Scouting for Food Drive has seen tremendous success over the years, with last year's drive collecting nearly 300,000 pounds of food. Since it began in 1988, the Narragansett Council has collected more than 7.8 million pounds of food, all in an effort to help feed the needy.
Donors are asked to provide non-perishable foods, in particular ones that are high in protein (canned soup, tuna, meats, peanut butter) and carbohydrates (nutritious cereals, crackers, whole wheat pasta and rice), as well as canned fruits and vegetables. All other non-perishable foods will still be greatly appreciated.
John Mosby, executive and CEO of the Narragansett Council, is a firm advocate of the program, as he believes it instills lifelong lessons in the Scouts while helping out a group of people in need at the same time.
"The annual Scouting for Food Drive has not only helped our neighbors in need, but it has also shown our Scouts how the community can and will step forward to help others less fortunate than themselves," he said in a statement.
He is confident that this year's participation by the community will be equal, if not greater than those in the past.
"This year marks a significant milestone for the drive, and we are confident the community will once again come together and help those less fortunate," he added.
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank, where the donations from the drive will be going, has been a constant source of aid for the hungry population in the state, which currently stands at around 65,000 people, a third of whom are under the age of 18.
"The need for food assistance has continued to grow since the start of the economic recession," Andrew Schiff, chief executive officer of the Rhode Island Food Bank, said in a statement. "The issue really hits home for hardworking families who are doing their best to put food on the table for their children."
He also notes the Scouts and how they are great role models through their dedication over the years, as both community activists and role models.
"Their significant contribution helps us to keep food on the shelves of local emergency food programs during the cold winter months," he said.
Those who would like to make donations this year, but will not receive visits from Boy Scouts in their neighborhoods, can do so at their local Walgreen's from Nov. 3 to 17.

In case there was any doubt about the odds of Congress enacting a carbon tax, a Senate vote Saturday morning showed that they are long indeed.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a liberal Rhode Island Democrat, offered an amendment to the proposed fiscal 2014 budget resolution calling for "establishment of a fee on carbon pollution." The amendment didn't suggest who'd pay the fee or how large it would be; it required only that the fee not increase the deficit and that all the revenue raised be "returned to the American people in the form of federal deficit reduction, reduced federal tax rates, cost savings or other direct benefits."
That's such a wide set of options, it left room for the Senate to consider all of the carbon-tax proposals that have been floated. Some would use the revenue to narrow the federal budget gap; others would lower corporate and personal tax rates. Still others, such as the one favored by the Citizens Climate Lobby, would divvy up the money among consumers and businesses in the form of rebates, effectively shifting dollars from the most intensive carbon emitters to the least.
The big tent notwithstanding, the Senate rejected the amendment handily, 58 to 41. All 45 of the chamber's Republicans voted against it, as did 13 Democrats from energy-producing or swing states.

The survivors of a deadly hostage standoff spent the weekend together mourning at the New York home of Andrea Rebello, the Hofstra University junior shot to death by police when a Long Island home invasion turned bad.
Gathering at Rebello's parents' home in upstate Tarrytown, N.Y., were her twin sister, Jessica, and her boyfriend, Brad Wilson, as well as Jessica's boyfriend, John Kourtessis.
"Andrea was the love of my life and my best friend," Wilson, 22 and a marketing major, told ABC News.
Watch: Hofstra Student Killed by Police in Shootout
The tragedy unfolded for them early Friday morning after a night of drinking at a nearby bar to celebrate the end of the semester when the four students returned to the off-campus rental home the sisters shared with two other friends.
The sisters left open the front door, so Kourtessis could grab car keys and quickly move Jessica's parked car.
But in the moments that it took Kourtessis to retrieve his keys from upstairs, ex-con Dalton Smith allegedly entered the home early Friday morning brandishing a pistol and demanding cash from the college students.
When police arrived at the scene, officials said, Smith used Rebello as a human shield, and both the gunman and his hostage were killed by police.
At the Rebello family home this weekend in Tarrytown, those who knew the young woman best gathered to make funeral arrangements and console one another.
"We spent every second together, and she was always there for me when I needed her the most," Wilson, her boyfriend, said. "She was perfect. She had a beautiful face, but that was nothing compared to the beauty she had in her heart.
"She was the most caring person I have ever met, and was always looking for a way to make people smile. Things are going to be very different without her here. I'm going to miss her so much but my love for her will last forever. I will never forget the amazing times that we had together."
Rebello and Wilson began dating in 2011 when they were freshmen at the Hempstead, N.Y., school on Long Island.
At Hofstra's graduation this weekend, students wore white ribbons and observed a moment of silence.
Rebello's funeral is planned for Wednesday.
Friday night, after the students offered Smith jewelry and their computers, they say he demanded more money and sent one of the Rebellos' roommates, Shannon Thomas, to an ATM, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata.
"He said if she wasn't back in eight minutes, he'd kill one of the individuals in the house," Azzata said.
The roommate called 911, Azzata said, and two officers were dispatched to the scene.
Rebello and Smith died within moments of cops' entering the home and finding Smith holding the young woman with a gun to her head, police said.
Eight shots were fired, seven hit Smith, but one hit Rebello in the head, killing her instantly, police said.

According to the article below on Reds.com, Milton has really developed his changeup in the past few weeks...and it shows!!!Originally Posted by redsfan30
Throughout the last few years, I've noticed that Cardinals players often compliment players on the other team after a losing game. I think it's the right thing to do, and it shows sportsmanship. If you think the opposing pitcher had a great game, then admit it. Don't say that he was lucky, or that it was only because you had a bad game. I've noticed the opposite from Astros players. They never seem to give credit to their opponent. When they lose a game, they seem to say that it was because they had a bad day, or they didn't do something right. Sometimes, the opposing pitcher is just too good for you. It may be tough to admit, but it shows good sportsmanship if you can admit it.Originally Posted by jimbo

IMO, the best way to attract a free agent starter is to keep Milton (if Milton is doing well). No one is going to want to come to Cincy just to be trade bait the following year.

I know Milton pitched a great game yesterday, but don't you really have to give a lot of credit to David Ross? I mean if batters are being constantly kept off balance by getting pitches they're not expecting it's the catcher who should get the kudos.
You make an excellent point. Catchers often do not get the credit they deserve when their pitchers are successful. From what I've seen, I really like how Ross handles this staff.Originally Posted by Maldez
Milton has pitched well with the other catchers too.

It is always better to trade a player too soon than too late. Milton may just make it through the season with a 4.50-ish ERA, but it is certainly not a sure thing. In fact, it is more likely that he ends the year with an ERA close to 5.00. As he sits with his ERA currently at 4.14, that means that he is due for some stinkers coming up soon. I certainly don't want those stinkers thrown while in a Reds uniform from a competetive standpoint. Those stinkers will torpedo any hope of trading him, too.
He certainly does, and the Reds say "D'Oh" for re-sgining him after his 15 win year. I didn't say Milton was, forever more, going to be a productive pitcher--only that there would be a market for him if he finished with the numbers I posted. And there would be.Originally Posted by Red Heeler
Milton has been an effective pitcher in the past, it's entirely possible that he could finish somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-10, 4.50. And if his ERA balloons like it did last year, there's a good chance the Reds will have fallen out of contention. It's better to trade early than late--of course. But it's also good to know when a trade would benefit your club, and when it could dismantle it. The Reds need every starter performing at top levels to be competitive for the remainder of the year. If Milton's producing and the Reds are winning, you don't trade him. Perhaps in the offseason, but not then.It is always better to trade a player too soon than too late.

Nothing is a sure thing. It is not a sure thing that he will close out the year with an ERA of close to 5.00. It isn't like he has pitched one gem amongst several shellings. Throw out the game where he got rocked by Florida and it was found he was injured and the Detroit game, which was basically a rehab start, and he has been superb. He is a completely different pitcher when compared to last season.Originally Posted by Red Heeler
Of course he is going to throw a few stinkers, who doesn't? Pedro pitched one just last night (and no, I'm not comparing Milton to Pedro). The difference between last year and this is that last season he threw them pretty much every 5 days. With the addition of his changeup and the strength he now has in his legs, I don't see that happening this season.
I mentioned this in the game thread last night. His follow-thru this season is different, or so it seems to me. You can tell he is throwing with more strength in his legs by the way he is kicking that left leg during his follow-thru.

Anniversary of The Belgrade National Theatre
The Belgrade National Theatre celebrated its 143rd anniversary on November 22. The celebration included various exhibitions and presentations and The Demons, a novel by Dostoyevsky adapted for the stage, was premiered. The ceremony was also marked with the presentation of awards. The theatre manager, Božidar Đurović, said that the Friends of the National Theatre Club is to be founded with a view to expanding the circle of theatre lovers. The "Raša Plaović" award, named after one of the best Serbian theatre actors of the 20th century, went to actress Nataša Ninković for her role in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. The award was established for the purpose of the affirmation of the highest values in the art of acting and the stimulation of creative efforts on the stage. It is presented for best acting achievements of the season in professional theatres in Belgrade.
An exhibition devoted to one of the best-known Serbian writers and novelists from the late 19th and early 20th century, Stevan Sremac, has been organized in cooperation with the National Museum in Nis, a town in southern Serbia, where Sremac lived for a long time.
A documentary on famous Czech film and theatre director Jiri Menzel, directed by eminent Serbian film director Puriša Đorđević, was premiered. The documentary shows Menzel preparing THE LOVE FOR THREE ORANGES, an opera composed by Sergei Prokofiev, which Menzel staged for the Belgrade National Theatre. That was not the first production he has put on the stage of the Belgrade National Theatre – several years ago, Menzel also directed THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR by William Shakespeare.
An exhibition of photographs of National Theatre artists, taken by Dina Jonsen and entitled HIDDEN BEAUTY, also forms part of the anniversary celebrations.
The adapted "Raša Plaović" auditorium, in which a plate with names of all the winners of the award bearing the great actor's name was unveiled, was opened by the premiere of THE DEMONS, a novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, put on stage and directed by Tatjana Mandić Rigonat.
The Belgrade National Theatre was founded in 1868. The first attempts at providing Belgrade with a permanent professional theatre date as early as from the 1840s. The first play put on stage in the Belgrade National Theatre, on 22 November 1868, was a historical play Đurađ Branković by Karol Obergnac. It was actually played in an inn, AT THE ENGLISH QUEEN'S, which was to house the national theatre for the following year.

1. I will prioritize family time. Balancing work, school, and children's activities can be a challenge – but be sure to prioritize family time in your schedule. Sitting around a table and eating together as a family has many benefits. Taking time to connect and share a meal helps create a strong family unit. Designate a weekly game, family walk or movie night, and special time spent with family becomes a tradition.
2. I will give my child the gift of literacy. One of the most important things you can do to help your child learn is read to him every day. Treasure these moments of togetherness and share in your child's excitement over a favorite book. Not only will you create memories, you will help your child develop the foundation for a love of reading.
3. I will help my family eat healthier. The best way to encourage healthy eating in your family is to be a great role model. Include fruits and vegetables in every meal. Have healthy snacks on hand. Serve lean meats and other sources of protein. Serve water instead of sugary beverages and try and keep fast food trips to a minimum.
4. We will exercise regularly. Exercise is critical for the whole family. It increases energy and stamina, rids the body of tension, promotes relaxation and improves cardiovascular function. Exercise also supports learning by enhancing attention, memory, focus and ability to retain what is taught. Children need to engage in at least one hour of physical activity each day.
5. We will go green. There are small things your family can do every day to help the environment. Teach your children how to recycle. Turn off lights when you leave a room or turn off water while brushing your teeth. Buy fresh, organic produce. Save used paper for scrap paper. Each action will go a long way in preserving our planet for future generations.
6. I will help my family give back. Giving back can take many forms, including donating recyclables to a can drive, boxing up toys and used clothes for a resale shop, making a donation of time and/or money to a worthy cause of your child's choice. Talk with your family about how you can make a difference for others.
7. I will help create a sense of community for my child. It's important to become a member of your child's school community. Children feel more confident and comfortable in school when they feel their families are part of the experience. Chaperone a class field trip. Share a special interest or talent with the class. Donate objects from home to the classroom. Volunteer whenever possible. Whatever you choose to do, you can feel good knowing that your child will benefit in the long run.
8. I will celebrate my child's successes. Whether it's a good deed, great report card, a dance recital, an awesome art project or even just a thorough job on chores, find meaningful opportunities to praise your child. Celebrate positive behavior and special accomplishments. Let your child pick the movie on family night, or select and then help prepare a favorite meal. Proudly display their achievements. Remember, taking the time to acknowledge these successes with your child means more than how you actually celebrate them.
9. I will make safety a priority. Every minute, 17 kids are seen in emergency rooms with unintentional injuries – that's more than 9 million a year. Look for ways to improve safety in your home for 2013. If you have small children, install safety latches on cabinets and drawers. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs. Unplug hair dryers. Create a fire evacuation plan. Each small action you take will help make your home safer for your family.

The play has just ended. It was good—talented actors in a convincing production of an engaging script. It wasn't the most hilarious, moving, stimulating or groundbreaking show you've seen this year, but it was solid and enjoyable, and you're glad you came. So your applause, as the actors return to the stage for their curtain call, is vigorous and sincere.
Then, a few people a couple of rows away rise to their feet; then a few more; and then the couple in front of you stands up too, blocking your view of the stage. So you get up, and then the people behind you do, and pretty soon more than half the house is standing. The applause is steady but not seismic, and as soon as the actors head for the wings, it quickly stops and the audience heads for the exits.
This scenario, the semi-standing semi-ovation, has become the norm in recent times. Of all the curtain calls I've witnessed in the past year, only one received a spontaneous, full-house Standing O. A majority followed the pattern I've described: a few folks standing up, some more following their lead, some remaining seated, and all reaching for their coats the moment the stage lights dimmed.
That odd ritual raises some questions for this theatergoer. Do the people who jump to their feet do so at every performance they enjoy, as a matter of course? Do those who follow their cue do so from a genuine impulse, or is it peer pressure, or not wanting to seem ungrateful, or because they'd rather be looking at the actors than at someone else's behind? Do those who doggedly keep their seats—because, dammit, the show was good but not sensational—feel like curmudgeons? And do the actors taking their bows look out at the house and figure the folks still in their seats must have hated it?
I guess what puzzles—okay, annoys—me is how perfunctory the Standing O has become. It seems it's devolved into an almost knee-jerk response, a sign of generous approval rather than real enthusiasm. I'd love it if audiences not only jumped out of their seats but stomped and cheered after truly electrifying performances. But that, in this well-behaved though vertically-disposed theatergoing public, doesn't happen.
Except once, this past summer, it did.
After the success of last summer's Scaramouche Jones, Pauline Productions brought Rylan Morsbach back to the Valley to reprise his performance. It's a one-man journey through the 20th century, told by a 100-year-old clown who has seen it all. Morsbach's portrayal is an exhilarating tour de force by a 21-year-old who has the technical chops and emotional range of a practiced veteran.
At the end of the performance I saw at the Majestic Theater in June, the audience rose as one to greet the performer as he returned to the stage for an almost bashful bow. As he retreated to the wings the house lights came up, but the applause, the cheers and yes, the foot stomping continued. It wasn't until Morsbach had taken four command curtain calls that the audience was finally satisfied and headed home.
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a Standing O.

Submission + - Pieces of Einstein's Brain Now on Display
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "For nearly half a century the pickled brain of Albert Einstein has roamed the world — in Tupperware containers, courier packages, and, most famously, car trunks but now if you've ever wondered what the brain of a genius looks like, make your way to Philadelphia's Mütter Museum and Historical Medical Library where for the first time visitors can view 45 brain slides of the brain of Albert Einstein and see one magnified under a lens. "He was a unique individual," says museum curator Anna Dhody. "and to have the organ that's most associated with intelligence of this great man is a wonderful opportunity." The brain slices have had a strange journey since Einstein's death in 1955 at age 76 from an abdominal aneurism. Pathologist Thomas Harvey completed Einstein's autopsy, then removed Einstein's brain as part of standard autopsy procedure — and failed to put it back. Harvey later said that Einstein's son had given him permission to take the scientist's brain, but the Einstein family disputed that claim. Einstein's brain will be in good company at the museum, which also boasts displays of a tumor from President Glover Cleveland and neck tissue from John Wilkes Booth."

Guest post by skippy the bush kangaroo (@skippybkroo)
nobody likes good tv as much as we do, and nobody is as thrilled with the evolution of long-form story-telling on television as we are. add that to the fact that mrs. skippy loves kevin bacon, and we were incredibly excited to see the new fox tv series starring mr. bacon, known as "the following."
"the following" which airs on mondays nights on fox-tv, tells the tale of an imprisoned serial killer played by james purefoy, who manages to communicate with his cultish acolytes on the outside to manipulate them into gruesome, bloody and shocking murders at his behest, like some sort of cross between charles manson and hannibal lecter. bacon plays the fbi agent who originally caught purefoy's character, and is now back on the case to try to figure out...wait for it..."the following."
now, we have no problem with explicit violence in service of a good scary or interesting story. we think breaking bad is one of the greatest piece of popular entertainment of all time, and we are big fans of dexter, justified, and the walking dead as well. but the difference between those afore-mentioned shows, the following, is simply this: "the following" sucks.
and it sucks in a big, big way. firstly, all the cops are really, really stupid. secondly, all the bad guys are really, really smart, and really, really evil. and that's about it. what other, little characterization there is seems to be lifted wholesale from a thousand previous police procedurals (bacon's character is world-weary! and alcoholic! purefoy's character is charismatic! and handsome! the black guy gets killed! almost right away!).
but wait! there's explicit violence, just like on those cable shows! stabbings! immolations! eye-gouging! and all in the name of edgar allen poe, who is supposedly the inspiration for all these killings, in the worst mis-reading of the works of american literary giant since disney animated the legend of sleepy hollow.
the problem with all this gore-nography, as we call it, is that there's nothing else very interesting in the show to hang it on. breaking bad isn't about drug dealers killing each other; it's an intricate study of the moral breakdown of a man already being beaten by the system. dexter isn't about slicing people up, it's a complicated analysis of the definitions of good and evil within each of us, asking if the indulgence of one can serve the other. and walking dead has zombies, so...
we expected so much more from kevin williamson, the creator and executive producer of the following. williamson wrote the scream films, which happily played with the tropes of horror movies even as they worked as a horror movies themselves. but in the following, williamson doesn't do anything with horror/serial killer tropes, other than steal them from thomas harris and criminal minds. even ryan murphy at least has fun juggling horror tropes around in american horror story. williamson seems to be writing this crap in his sleep, or else farming it out to some junior high creative writing class somewhere.
last week's episode was a prime example: the fbi followed (no pun intended) the clues to a specific individual's house. he wasn't home, but his wife was. the fbi interrogated her and decided she didn't know anything about the murderous cult her husband was involved with. now, at this point, we literally shouted at the tv "yeah, sure she doesn't! like paterno didn't know about sundusky!" but the fbi let her go back to her house, and sent one agent (the afore-mentioned one black guy in the cast) to guard her. even worse, he felt really safe turning his back on her in the kitchen where they keep all those knives and cutting implements. well, if you couldn't see his extremely bloody death coming a mile away, then we've got an original story about killing a man and hiding his still-beating heart under the floorboards to sell you.
there is something to be said for the subplot of two straight (bad) guys who pretended to be gay to get close to the ex-wife of purefoy's character in order to kidnap her son, only to later realize that maybe they liked being gay, but there's an evil girl involved who doesn't like them being gay, so she stabs one guy, who goes out and kidnaps an innocent lady and beats her up and keeps her in the basement. well, ok, there's really nothing to be said for that subplot, now that we write it out and look at it.
we are sorrier than you know to say this show is a turkey. we like to think that television has entered a second golden, or at least a silver, age of story-telling, with shows that demand actual attention paid by its audience, and multiple views of every episode to suss out the nuance and layers of human interaction. lost, the sopranos, fringe, as well as the shows mentioned above, are great examples of complex, substantive examinations of human folly.
"the following" is just a pale imitation, a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing. if you ask us if we are going to keep watching it, we'd quote poe's raven.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has stepped in to help save Foote's music store in London. Mason bought his first drum kit from the store. The drum shop was going to be forced to close when they were denied a business loan.
Says Mason to mi-pro.co.uk: "After 40 something years of playing, I still have great affection for a real drum shop. And Foote's has a special significance for me. In 1958, I headed down to the West End of London to a basement in Denman Street where a kindly man called Sid, in a white coat (maybe that's significant as well) sold me my original kit for £7.50."
Nick is buying the shop along with Rob Wilson, who has been the sales-director for Foote's for a long time. Wilson also commented on Mason's help: "At the eleventh hour, our business loan was turned down by our bank... It was a major blow to our plans, but Nick came to our rescue. Without him, and our collective of generous investors, Foote's would be no more."

It's been nearly a year since Thomas Broviak was crowned homecoming king, but he still talks about it often. A "Homecoming Royalty 2012" sign, complete with his name and a picture of a Geneva High School Vikings mascot, still hangs on his bedroom wall, and his crown sits nearby.
"To Tom, he'll always be homecoming king," said his mother, Pam Broviak.
Thomas Broviak and his girlfriend, Krissy Althersohn, who are both special-needs students, served as Geneva's homecoming king and queen last year, and Geneva High School Principal Tom Rogers said their nominations received nothing but positive reception from the community.
"I never, ever thought he and Krissy would be named to homecoming court," Pam Broviak said. "Finally, all the work we've done for inclusion paid off."
Geneva High School was one example of a student population that elected a nontraditional homecoming court last year, but it wasn't the only one in the area. Kaneland High School students elected Samantha Garcia as homecoming queen while she was recovering from a car crash in July 2012 that caused head injuries.
Garcia said being homecoming royalty was a positive experience overall, but said she hopes she didn't win just because she was in an accident.
"I just don't want to be labeled," she said, adding that she felt the students expressed genuine support during her recovery, "especially by the way people acted when I was there finally back at school."
Patrick Trapp, a social worker at Kaneland High School, said he has seen several examples of homecoming courts that aren't necessarily made up of students from the stereotypical popular crowd.
He said when he started working at Kaneland in 2004, "one of the things that really stuck out to me that was very uncommon from my own experience in high school ... was that it was interesting how unconventional some of the kids who were considered popular, but didn't fit conventional popularity."
One thing many of them had in common, he said, was that those students seemed to fit in with just about every type of crowd and could always be seen interacting with different groups of students. He said in Garcia's case, the student body wanted to recognize an already well-liked student for overcoming so many obstacles.
Pam Broviak said she thinks students are thinking more about those with special needs or who have risen above challenges, as examples throughout the country have shown in recent years. Today's generation seems more tolerant and accepting of everyone, she said.
"It just must be a different attitude that the school cultivates, and probably the parents," she said.
Rogers said a group of students who work with special-needs students in a PE class spearheaded the effort to elect Thomas Broviak and Althersohn. He said it's a little too early to tell what's on tap for this year's homecoming nominations.
"It caught on and worked out really well," he said. "It remains to be seen whether this will become a trend or whether something a group of students decided to do. ... I just think it's one of those unique things that happens from time to time. Maybe having a yearly thing would not be appropriate."
Garcia's mother, Lisa Garcia-DeFranze, said she thinks a lot of students have changed their thoughts about what a homecoming crown means, and that it's different for prom, which she said is a bigger deal.
Pam Broviak said she thinks people have become more comfortable with others' differences, as evidenced by Thomas Broviak's homecoming king nomination.
The distinction isn't one her son will forget any time soon.
"We're just very happy and proud of him," she said. "We had people send cards and emails. I think people like it because it's something that shows the good side of humanity."

Well I got my Brushless Emaxx about a month ago. I have added telemetry to it. Other than that its stock.
I know Santa probably is bringing my 8 year old a stampede.
But What upgrades for my Emaxx should I ask Santa for?
Rpm true track and rpm a arms, steel traxxas cvds, GH bulkheads, better wheels n tires like trencher X's and some good lipos. That's what I would ask for.
Living life.
Going for the
Trencher X 3.8" All Terrain Tires Mounted on Desperado Black Wheels
True track
I read that the GH bulkheads sucked
Trying also to find something like a 2001 Chevy extended cab body to match my full size z71
there is FLM bulks a heavier price but i hear they are worth it, i would take GH over Intergy parts anyday and some use those on the emaxx but with good luck so far they say some. They do offer a lifetime warranty though on them which is nice. Check out the FLM they make shock towers as well for it.
Now that would be nice a Chevy body i use to have that excate truck you have but i never got to offroad with it (sucked i didnt) what color is yours? mine was pearl white with 265LT tires AT but more Offroad though.
have you seen the difference in size over stock tires when compared to the trencher x's? 50togo posted a pic up in the erbe forum there in his thread and man more than i thought.
Living life.
Here they are and I thought the maxx wheels were big!
-- Stainless center and axle CVDs
-- Tubes turnbuckles
-- new body
-- one or two high-torque, high-voltage servos
-- LED light set from Killer RC
I would skip the cvds and run summit axles (all long) and cvds in the center drive shaft
I would ask for an official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 shot range model air rifle; with a compass in the stock and a thing which tells time!!
But if I couldn't have that, FLM bulks, aluminum skids and aluminum chassis braces!!!!
FLM bulk and shock tower, alumunium skids and chassis brace, chuck some RPM A-Arms and you good to go .
Rock n Rolla !
I asked santa for a Hitec X4.
My maxx still needs 1/8 diffs but I may have to get those myself some time later.
So mike my 2001 Chevy is tab has same tires that you were talking about. Thanks for your input cause I have choose a few things to get from santa.
50togo thanks for pic cause it made the decision an easy one ! Also will have to read about summit axles.
Turbocat tubes and turn buckles it is should be easy stocking stuffer for my wife to get.
So Santa told me I had to help male sure I got what I wanted and so I was happy to help but was told I can't play til Xmas.
Here's my presents ill take pics on Xmas day of them all.
-E-Maxx True-Track Rear A-arm Conversion
-Trencher X 3.8" All Terrain Tires Mounted on Desperado Black Wheels x 4
-FLM Shock Towers x2
- New body
-Paasche air brush double action and compressor kit
-all new aluminum toe links and steering tubes
-my 8 year old is getting a stampede XL-5 from santa and I found a 2.4 2 channel tq-1 with iPod base and receiver for $51 for him brand new.
-FLM Bulks probably the hybrid $90 jobbers
-Couldnt find aluminum chassis brace i liked yet
-want some metal skids read some postings about titanium one couldn't find some I liked yet
-another body once I get my airbrush kit and will also find a light set for body
All being said I wish I could get every bit now but I'm a excited for santa to deliver.
Certainly have sugerEmaxx upgrades dancing in my head!
Thanks for input guys ill take pics as I comes time and share with you all!
Mike I ment to say my Chevy was tan
Anybody have a thought of the bumpers from rcraven inc
I love mine probably going to have to replace front drive side 4x4 seal in a week or 2
Last of my Xmas for my Emaxx
Just ordered from RCRAVEN
Brushed aluminum front skid
Brushed aluminum Rear Skid
Brushed aluminum transmission skid
Red Polished Stainless Steel Full Roll Cage
Aluminum chassis braces
250 Piece Stainless Screw Kit
Red Powder Coated Dual Rate Shock Springs
Really wanted some titanium stuff but this is my first truck so some cheap stuff will get me by and I'll still have a little better protection than stock for bashing.
Also got front and rear aluminum bumpers which I'm sure are going to get bent we will see
I thought about a dual charger but I can get single chargers for less and if dual went out I'm screwed. If single charger went out I'd still have one charger and some money in my pocket
a good single charger would be good with a high enough amp output like icharger 206B would be 20amps and if you dont have many lipos then 106B would be good but it does require a power supply to run it since its only DC power. Dynamite UltraForce has a 10amp charger now AC which is nice, thunder power has 8amp AC, RacersEdge 2010 at amainhobbies is 8-10amp AC w/alum case to carry it even lol but those are all good and have some of the highest output for AC if you go DC then 30-40amp is the most like a icharger 306B or Powerlab 6. now icharger has a 60amp i think it is crazy but you can charge like 6 lipos all 8000mah+ and still have amps left CRAZY.
You enjoy those parts from Santa and one more thing might want an extra of something that is know to break even upgraded because Santa only comes 1 time year you'll have to wait till next year.
Living life.
I don't want to steal your thread, but I don't want to have to start a new one either so I have to ask.. What does everyone think about the Slingshot tires mounted to the Desperado black rims? I really like the idea of having an offset on Maxx trucks and am looking for a fun snow tire.. Any ideas? (If it helps, it's also a Christmas idea)
T, E, 3.3 Maxx, 4-Tec, VXL Rustler, Revo PM offers
CNC Machine
No More Shootings
Got my Flm shock towers , aluminum skids , roll bar cage, aluminum bumpers, new body, aluminum chassis brace all came I today but I just got back from dentist so I am not up to playing with my toy . So in kinda bummed. Hope to feel better later or Tomarrow ill takes some pics of my new mods.
Since I am a girl, I am asking for my favorite blemish balm to make me first look beautiful. After that, I wish for a new Dual Battery Charger, since mine just packed up.
Well got a lot of my parts early for Xmas from my wife so I can spiff up my truck before everyone comes over plus need to have more time to play with my son when Santa gives him his stampede.

New back bumper and skids make for difficult way for stick wheelie bar. I'll figure it out. Also got some red springs for shocks but starting to red about upgrading shocks.
Man I like those trenchers on there and those skids.
Living life.
Well ordered RPM TRUE Track from amazon. Part + shipping = $50. Ordered on 19th about 11:00pm got the today 21st about 2:00pm. It was quick !

Finished up breaking in motors for my sons Xmas Trucks.
nice trucks there i remember i had my trucks lined up with my 4tec was nice. those rc's are too clean lol j/k
Living life.
I believe the magic of Christmas had reached its peak for my so at this exact moment this morning.
We played for couple batteries and he broke his first part on his new truck. A little upset but then I reminded him he had some Christmas money to fix his truck with. I think he was then happy even though his truck broke he knows he will be able to afford to fix it on his own.
That's good!
Broken rod ends. Should come with a few spares!

Although not quite as fierce as the battle over the perfect chocolate chip cookie, brownie lovers have their own fight over the perfect texture of their favorite chocolatey treat. Some, like me, are fans of the fudgy, soft, almost underbaked bar, while others are fond of the more cakelike, thick treat. Some just go for the crunchy corner pieces first, leaving the softer middle behind. Some like nuts in their brownies, and others are completely opposed to the idea. Some like them topped with chocolate or frosting, others like the simplicity of an unadorned bite. But no matter what kind of brownie you enjoy, there's one thing I think all brownie lovers can agree on—they're delicious and utterly addicting. If given the chance, I could clean out an entire pan of brownies singlehandedly. But to be completely honest, I've never really made brownies from scratch. Other than the Mint Filled Brownie Cupcakes, there's only been one other attempt at making brownies that didn't come from a box in my lifetime. When one of The Girls, Dani, came back up to visit from Texas again this week, she put in her request for brownies, so it was time to learn how to make them on my own.
My first attempt, years ago, was a recipe from Everyday Food Magazine's Holiday issue back in 2006. It's chock full of nothing but cookie and bar recipes, and I still use it every year for my holiday baking (so be on the lookout for quite a few more recipes from this coming soon!). While the brownies came together easily and baked up great, the recipe calls for semisweet chocolate chips, which makes for a very dark chocolate treat. A bit too dark for me, so I wasn't a fan of them. For years I've been meaning to try them with milk chocolate instead, but I've never gotten around to it. I was glad for the excuse to bake them for Dani to give it a shot.
The recipe is super simple, especially when you use the microwave to melt your chocolate and butter. It's a one bowl deal that comes together in less than 10 minutes. The original recipe calls for nuts, but I'm one of those that are horribly opposed to nuts in my baked goods, so I substituted chocolate chips instead to give it a bit more of a chocolate fudgy flavor. Measure out a cup of the chips to melt, and toss the rest of the regular sized bag with some flour to keep them from sinking! Couldn't be easier!
If you're a fan of the underbaked fudgy kind of brownies, you'll love these. They're still gooey and squishy after 55 minutes of baking. If you like them a little more cakelike, cover with foil to keep the top from browning too much, and bake for 5-10 minutes more, or until the center comes out the way you like it. Slice them up, and serve with a big glass of milk! They're delicious! I definitely suggest using milk chocolate instead of the semisweet the original recipe called for. But if you're a dark chocolate fan, mix the milk chocolate with the semi sweet for a bit of a darker taste. Or toss the semisweet chips with the flour to add instead of milk chocolate, for little bites of dark chocolate flavor. However you mix them up and bake them, be sure to give them a try, because they're fantastic! It's a good thing I'm sharing them with The Girls, otherwise, the plate would be empty already.
Fudgy Brownies
Adapted from Everyday Food Holiday 2006
Makes 16 brownies
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for foil
12 ounces (1½ cups) milk chocolate, divided*
1 ¼ cups sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
¾ cup plus 1½ teaspoons all purpose flour, divided
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhand on two sides; butter bottom and sides of foil (not overhang). Set aside. In a small bowl, toss 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of chocolate with 1½ teaspoons flour until coated. Set aside.
2. Place butter and 8 ounces (1 cup) chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water; stir frequently until almost melted. Remove from heat; stir until completely melted. (Or melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave safe bowl, stirring after 1 minute, and reheating and stirring until chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.)
3. Whisk in sugar and salt until smooth; whisk in eggs. Gently whisk in ¾ cup of flour just until smooth (do not overmix). Fold in reserved chocolate chips.
4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
5. Using foil overhang, lift from pan; peel off foil and discard. Cut brownies into 16 squares (4 rows by 4 rows).
*Note: For a more dark chocolate taste, use semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate, or combine ½ cup of each for the batter and ¼ cup of each to fold in.

Fan of gooey brownies? Are you talking to me?? : ) These look delicious. Please pass the milk!

To be honest I need a brownie with things going on with or in it. If it's just "plain" then I'll need vanilla ice cream to help cut the richness of brownies.
