Design by Committee
I write a little something over at Sports On Earth about the three new Hall of Famers -- an umpire that became a manager and then an umpire again, a Tammany Hall politician who wouldn't pay DiMaggio, and a barehanded catcher who believed that the earth is flat -- and talk a bit about how Baseball Hall of Fame is REALLY constructed rather than how people seem to think it is constructed.
So, if you happen to see this post first, I pose for you a question:
What percentage of the Hall of Fame do you think is comprised of players voted in by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Put your answer below, and then check over at SOE to see see how close you got. I've got something about more about this coming.
I also have a massive Springsteen piece off his Oakland concert last Friday.
And something about the Kansas City Royals one last chance to make it real.
And something about one of my favorite NBA players.
And something about one of the three best single-sport announcers in the history of a the game.
And, who knows, maybe something about the Washington Nationals rotation with Dan Haren in it.
And something about beer.

Paul Cezanne once said that we have to get away from the idea that a portrait has to look like the subject. That's a little radical, but I follow his drift. I shoot for a good painting first and a good likeness second.
I usually take more liberties with landscapes than I do with portraits because there is more to play with. It's all about the atmosphere of a place in my opinion.
Still Life & other subjects
If a painting does not neatly fit in the other two categories I put them here. The subject of my paintings is the entire canvas, not just the central object. Sometimes the central object in my paintings is just an excuse to paint the rest of the picture.

Henderson, Berlin & Chambers
Yesterday Henderson, Berlin and Chambers visited The Netherlands to perform in 'De Boerderij' in Zoetermeer. It was a very good performance, with lots of dynamic changes, rhythmic tensions and solo virtuosity from Henderson and Berlin in particular. The guys had a lot of fun on stage. Berlin not knowing where he ended up this time during their world tour, while Henderson felt at home in Holland because "I'm on acid". They played blues stuff, own interpretations of Weather Report's 8:30 album, Shorter's footprints and Hancock's actual proof. One of the finest heavy fusion jazz acts I've seen lately.

I remember when we were in the middle of raising our twins and I wondered if they were ready to "fly the coop." My first thought was no way. But fly they did.
Did they make mistakes?
So did I.
But eventually, the empty nest has become a sweet time in life, filled with GRANDchildren and time to refocus on my man.
Someone told me early in my parenting days, "Make sure you love your husband more than your children, because in ideal situations you will be with him longer than you were with your parents or will be with your children." Even the judge who presided over our adoption of twin daughters told us to make sure we get away at least once a year, just the two of us, to focus on our marriage. Because we took that to heart, after 42 years of marriage I can say… it was SO worth it. Our girls have been gone almost half of our marriage at this point and if we had not intentionally stayed connected during the younger parenting years, I wonder what our empty next would be like.
As women's leaders, how do you minister to moms? Often, they wonder how well they have prepared children for adulthood. Sometimes our children choose to head off in a direction completely contrary to what we taught them. Yes, scripture says "Teach a youth about the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6, HCSB) But what about in the meantime? What if their child strays?
Once they've have done ALL they can to raise and pour themselves and their faith into a child, then they must take their hands off (not their love nor prayers) and hand them to God…sometimes over and over and over again. It's not easy, but as you help them walk this path with Christ, they will experience a deeper walk with Christ as they trust Him to work in their child's life even if they cannot see it right now.
On many occasions, I have experienced peace during crisis with family and I can tell you it's real. And I can vow that I could not know my God like I do, nor trust Him as I do, if I had not journeyed this way.
Women on the path of pain with children need someone who has experienced something similar to what they are facing. They need some accountability partners or prayer warriors to pray for them and their family. Help them get in the Word and read the truths He has like Romans 4:20-21, " He did not waver in unbelief at God's promise but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, because he was fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." (HCSB) or Psalm 143:8, "Let me experience Your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in You. Reveal to me the way I should go because I long for You."
God will use you to walk with these moms every step of the way. Show them how to trust Him with their life. If they can do that, they certainly can trust Him with their heart and their child.

Taking just over two weeks to move from one horoscope sign to another, Mercury is the super quick trickster planet. In Roman mythology, "Mercury" was the wing-footed "Messenger god," and in Astrology, Mercury governs how we communicate on all levels, from basic conversation to our individual mental processes. As the overseer of all things travel, fleet-footed Mercury has taken over the realm of technology as, more and more, electronics and gadgets have become necessities, not luxuries.
Above all, Mercury is the planet of information -- collecting it, dispersing it and absorbing it. So, it makes perfect sense that the two horoscope signs ruled by Mercury (airy Gemini and earthy Virgo) are known for their intellectual natures. Gemini loves to learn all it possibly can about anything and everything, while Virgo is constantly in analyze and critique mode.
In Astrology, the planets move through the zodiac at their own pace and interact with each sign -- and each other -- to set the mood here on Earth.
Astrology affects your horoscope ... and your life! The cosmos hold the key as planets, aspects and houses all work together to influence the way we live.

Letters to the Editor
Think before you vote
Open-minded people knows that a nation is most effective when government and private industry work together to accomplish common goals (remember WWII and the auto bailout). By denying this reality and by portraying government as evil, Republicans cloak their real purpose: to further redirect the nation's wealth to the wealthy.
Many Republicans whisper the word "conservative" as if it were the name of something holy. Calling someone a "liberal" or a "conservative" has libelous implications. It implies that with regard to many important issues, his/her mind is made in advance of deliberations. It's important to remember that the reason we seek education beyond high school is to gain an understanding of how to weigh complex issues from every possible angle.
Keeping an open mind, evaluating matters on their merits and on the available evidence, applying critical thinking to emotionally charged controversies, and maintaining a balance between the interests of the rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak, minorities and majorities, captures something essential about what makes a country exceptional. Remove any of these and, like the Soviet Union, you're faking greatness. How many of these characteristics of a great nation would the Republican Party endorse?
The nasty secret that some educated people (for sake of argument let's call them Republicans) hide from those less fortunate is that many questions actually have incontrovertibly correct answers. In most cases those answers aren't knowable in advance. A problem must be investigated, critically examined, logically broken down into discrete components, solutions conceptualized and tested, and decisions developed that are realistically tied to resources, time, abilities, and competing interests. Skipping any of these steps is referred to as sub-optimizing – a euphemism educated people employ to mean "we blew it."
If, like Grover Norquist, your mind is made up prior to analyzing a specific problem, you should recuse yourself from talking about it. Your chances of hitting a "home run" solution are so close to nil that you undoubtedly have better things to do with your time – like signing a pledge. Not striving to learn to think critically is as anti-American as hacking Pentagon computers. If you don't make the effort, what occupies your heart and mind, as good as it feels to you, is unrelated to achieving what is best for this most promising of all nations.
The writer lives in Pawleys Island.

This is the complete shifter and bushing kit for the 2004+ STI 6-Speed manual transmission. We are big fans of this package here at Nameless Performance, and will happily recommend it to you.
Posted by Nicholas Day on
Great quality product and excellent performance overall.
- DIY, first time on an STI - shifter and front bushings were easy - the rear one was less so. Really had to flex the bushing to get the bolts to line up without fear of cross threading the tapped holes in the body. Ideally, I would have pulled the nearby O2 sensor and removed the sheetmetal shroud between the downpipe and the driveshaft/shifter tunnel.
I highly recommend completely removing the shift linkage to remove the front bushing and to get the rear one in place before reinstalling.
All-in all it was a good install and took a couple hours from start to finish.
All prices are in USD

This annual two-part celebration of musical monstrosities was among the first RFHs to feature a theme. Moreover, the inaugural episode marked the first time I ever incorporated background music into the show.
Now if only I hadn't given it such a cheesy goddamn name!
Download Radio Free Hipster Ep. 119: Vampire State of Mind [hosting provided by Antisoc] Size: 63.6 MB Running Time: 49:04 Subscribe to RFH
Show Notes:
Intro: Baddd Spellah – "Radio Free Hipster Theme (feat. Beefy)"
Unlike candy corn, you'll never get sick of my tasty theme song. Sadly, you can't wedge the track into your gums and pretend to be a vampire. Touché, candy corn!
Track 1: Sci-Fried - "Vampires Suck"
Another fine tune from Florida's premiere geek rockers. Not exactly their most original title, mind you, but still.
Z's 1st interlude: "A message from the great George Takei."
Sulu wants you to have a fun and safe Halloween.
Track 2: Community dialog / Kirby Krackle - "Bite of Another"
I love that a bunch of cats from Seattle can bust out the southern-style soul-rock.
Track 3: The Consortium of Genius - "Bite Me"
Wait; did he say "bite me on the butt?"
Track 4: ToToM - "Buffy the Toccata Slayer Freaks Out"
From this year's Texas Chainsaw Mashacre Halloween bastard pop compilation.
Track 5: Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire - "Juese Belmont"
That's me doing the intro. I'm famous now.
Track 6: Community dialog / Action Adventure World vs. The Plasmas - "Zombie Killing, Blood Spilling (Overworld #1)"
If you haven't already, cop their epic 2010 release Vol. 1 Ghosts n Goblins.
Track 7: Anthrax - "Fight'em 'Til You Can't"
Anthrax's Worship Music is, without a doubt, one of their greatest efforts to date. Having Joey Belladonna back makes all the difference.
Z's 2nd interlude: "With the stage set for a zombie apocalypse."
Because honestly, when isn't it?
Track 8: Community dialog / Death*Star - "The Quick and the Dead"
"Holy crap; Leonard's a zombie!"
Track 9: 8-Bit Weapon - "Die Die My Darling"
I have gotten far more miles out of that 8-bit Misfits tribute than even I would've thought possible.
Track 10: The Misfits - "Twilight of the Dead"
I'm still not quite sure what I think of the new (new-new?) Jerry Only-fronted Misfits, but this track fit so I went with it.
Track 11: Community dialog / Cheekyboy - "Living Dead Temper Baby"
Because nothing says Halloween like a Rob Zombie vs. Prodigy mash-up.
Track 12: Buck 65 - "Zombie Delight"
Likely the highlight of what is, at least in my opinion, a sweet-ass set. This one was suggested to me by my Canadian homey SelfHelp.
Z's final interlude: "We are the ultimate enemy."
Also, vampires and zombies are kinda cool. I think I left that out amid all my high-minded posturing.
Track 13: Illbotz - "Zombie Girl"
Yes, the Illbotz do doo-wop. It's one of the many services the group offers.
Let us now forget, boils and ghouls, that there's another Halloween-themed episode coming. A handful of artists have already told me to expect new seasonal singles by month's end, but I should still have plenty of room for requests.
Assuming, of course, that you've got 'em.

Al Pacino will play former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in a new Barry Levinson-directed HBO feature which has yet to score a title.
The telemovie will deal with the time when Paterno, widely regarded as the best college football coach of all time, became embroiled in Penn State's Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal.
The incident challenged his legacy and forcing him to face questions about institutional failure on behalf of the victims.
Levinson will direct and will executive produce alongside Jason Sosnoff, Tom Fontana, Edward Pressman, Rick Nicita and Linday Sloane.

Subscribe To Natalie Portman Finally Getting Started On Her Directorial Debut Updates
I've already subscribed
If you feel like we've been talking about Natalie Portman's possible directorial debut forever, well, we basically have. Way back in 2007, word first surfaced that Portman might be itching to adapt A Tale of Love and Darkness, the autobiography of Israeli author Amos Oz and the best-selling book in that country's history. The rumors lingered for a while longer that year before disappearing entirely, but just because six years have passed doesn't mean there's not still hope! Israel Hayom (via The Playlist), Portman is heading to Israel in September to scout locations for A Tale Of Love And Darkness, and now that Oz has given his final approval over the script, production is ready to begin.
Oz's life story contains a few sadly common early-life tragedies-- his mother committed suicide when he was 12, his parents didn't really get along-- but also some specific to living in Israel in the early years of the state, growing up in a war-torn Jerusalem and eventually becoming actively involved in Israeli politics. Here's the Publishers Weekly review from the book's Amazon page:
This memoir/family history brims over with riches: metaphors and poetry, drama and comedy, failure and success, unhappy marriages and a wealth of idiosyncratic characters. Some are lions of the Zionist movement—David Ben-Gurion (before whom a young Oz made a terrifying command appearance), novelist S.Y. Agnon, poet Saul Tchernikhovsky—others just neighbors and family friends, all painted lovingly and with humor. Though set mostly during the author's childhood in Jerusalem of the 1940s and '50s, the tale is epic in scope, following his ancestors back to Odessa and to Rovno in 19th-century Ukraine, and describing the anti-Semitism and Zionist passions that drove them with their families to Palestine in the early 1930s. In a rough, dusty, lower-middle-class suburb of Jerusalem, both of Oz's parents found mainly disappointment: his father, a scholar, failed to attain the academic distinction of his uncle, the noted historian Joseph Klausner. Oz's beautiful, tender mother, after a long depresson, committed suicide when Oz (born in 1939) was 12. By the age of 14, Oz was ready to flee his book-crammed, dreary, claustrophobic flat for the freedom and outdoor life of Kibbutz Hulda. Oz's personal trajectory is set against the background of an embattled Palestine during WWII, the jubilation after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine and create a Jewish state, the violence and deprivations of Israel's war of independence and the months-long Arab siege of Jerusalem. This is a powerful, nimbly constructed saga of a man, a family and a nation forged in the crucible of a difficult, painful history.
Portman, who is journeying to Asgard for Thor: The Dark World and finally wrapped up with the massively troubled shoot for Jane Got A Gun, has a clear enough schedule this fall to be starting her directorial debut. At one point she was being courted for high school project Dare Me and mentioned as a contender for the lead role in David Fincher's Gone Girl, but if she's prioritizing A Tale of Love And Darkness, you can see why she'd be turning everything down. Portman has tried out her directing skills once before, as a segment in the anthology film New York I Love You, but after six years of waiting, she's only now taking her first shot at a feature debut. Given that she's been working in the industry since she was a child, you've got to assume she'll know her way around the other side of the camera.

The majority of the existing systems at corporations were built pre-mobile device. So they just don't work in this realm.

The cloud is an excellent place for companies to improve the drawing distribution and collaboration of documents.

The confident, tuxedoed waiter bends over and intimately intones, "Wouldn't you like something a little sweet with your foie gras." All to often, in America's finest restaurants, the glass that arrives contains Château d'Yquem, the most famous of all dessert wines. I can't count the times this has happened to me over the decades and, yes, I consider myself lucky to say that. As petty as it may seem, I have a problem with it.
The problem is that there are two Château d'Yquem wines. One is the wine that promises to become d'Yquem and the other is the d"Yquem, which is something that only arrives with time. The first is an excellent dessert wine, the second is a legend. Anyone who has tasted this wine at its zenith understands that d'Yquem does not become d'Yquem until, at a minimum, it passes its twentieth birthday. Before that this great wine offers only potential greatness, not greatness itself. Yet bottle after bottle of this outrageously expensive miracle are poured out in restaurants in the name of elegant infanticide. These restaurants and their sommeliers should know better than this, but do it anyway seemingly struck by the d'Yquem label, more like groupies following the lastest star in People Magazine than serious wine aficionados. To drink young d'Yquem is an intellectual exercise at best and a terrible waste of potentially sublime wine at the worst.
Besides being a horrible waste of one of the world's greatest sweet wines, it is also a disservice to their customers as there are many wonderful. perfectly ready to drink sweet wines that are more exciting to drink than immature Chateau d'Yquem. It seems to me that a competent sommelier should never be star-struck and serve a wine based only on its name with no regard to whether the wine is ready to drink or not: especially at this price level.
The poor d'Yquem that died a early death a few nights ago was a 1995 Château d'Yquem, an incredible wine that is nowhere near ready to drink. While still tight and a bit pungent, you cannot miss the greatness simmering underneath that will require at least another decade to release itself and perhaps ten years after that to achieve its pinnacle. With current retail prices for this wine at around $200. it should not be hard to encourage you to sit on your investment so you really get what you paid for. Everyone should rise up to protect this great wine and defend it against the next sommelier that wants to serve it before it actually becomes d'Yquem.

Free Potty Training Chart
Potty Training Charts, Stickers and Free Printable Potty Training Charts
Here you will find a free potty training chart that you can print. Reward charts for potty training such as a potty training sticker chart can help your child succeed with potty training. It is however essential to learn how to use them successfully first.
I am currently in the process of potty training my two year old son and I have found there are many merits to using a potty training chart with him.
Firstly it just adds that little bit of motivation and gives him the chance to get even more positive praise. It also works as instant feedback and is a way for us to track just how often he is using the potty.
Below you will find some links to a free potty training chart that I used so I hope these help you to become nappy free too!
I am a teacher and have needed to use motivational charts with children before. There are several guidelines I recommend when using a free potty training chart.

I don't understand this world or its people who claim intelligence. Who pretend superiority over Nature and her creatures.
They know nothing.
They are nothing beyond a difficult species who thrive off violence to themselves, to the earthlings, to the planet.
Such an arrogant, selfish lot of myrmidons whose ignorance baffles me to no end. Superstitious and gullible and hateful, all while pretending to Godliness; who fancy themselves a heavenly reward beyond this life, simply for their act of obedience to the God they've contrived, which forgives them their crimes of murder and theft.
What manner of insanity drives these people, I fail to comprehend.
When they take an earthling's life for food, or to wear their skin, or to let their captivity entertain them, then they take something that never belonged to them.
Their thievery is a horrid sort. With ramifications impossible to gauge but obvious to those possessed with the will to see.

JPT at Pine Valley
A few years back I was invited to play the perennial number one ranked golf course in the world, Pine Valley. It is on every golfer's bucket list. The first interesting aspect of the invitation was that I was living part time in Utopia, Texas at the time. My course in Utopia was pretty much the opposite of Pine Valley, if you catch my drift. Secondly, the invitation also included the sharing of my faith with a group of men at this particular gathering. So in essence the trip started with awe. Only God could orchestrate such an invitation.
Secondly, I met a gentleman there who I grew to love. He was an amazing player and gentleman but had an issue with anger and frustration on the course. The last morning as I led the devotional before play the Lord had me share 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, "Be joyful always, pray constantly, and in all circumstances give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus."
After the devotional he and I were paired together. I asked if I could mark his ball with JPT for the day so that each time he looked down at the ball during the round he would be reminded of Joy, Prayer, and Thanks. He agreed, and off we went to see if he could maintain composure with the power of Scripture on his ball. He was playing beautifully for several holes. Eventually he missed a shot and was about to explode. I walked over and asked him to tell me what the letters stood for as he was boiling. It was the place in his life where the enemy stole his identity. When he failed with a shot, he felt like a failure in life. This was the source of his anger. He needed a transformation, and JPT was the ticket. He calmed down, internalized the meaning and power and hit a nice recovery shot. Something clicked in his soul.
On the final hole of the day, it happened. His towering 300-yard drive drifted to the right and buried about waist high in a huge bunker. He had the dreaded "buried lie" leaving him with an extremely difficult shot. He entered the bunker. As he approached the ball he began to yell for us to come. With tears in his eyes he pointed to the ball (see the picture). His ball had been struck with a force that created about 3,000 revolutions per minute. We were speechless, the only thing visible were the letters JPT. Only God… we all stood in awe. He is a different man today because of that moment, and so am I.

In Memoriam: Gene Frenkle: 1950-2000.
After a series of staggering defeats, Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the recording studio in late 1976 for a session with famed producer Bruce Dickinson. Magic came out of the studio that day. And thanks to Bruce Dickinson's insistence on more cowbell, Don't Fear the Reaper became an instant classic!
Cowbell is a simple cow bell soundboard app. Using Cowbell is simple and fun. Just tap on your screen. Can be used to replace a real cowbell when you are in a jam. Works best when played up close to someone's face!
- Become the star of a band!
- Discover a musical talent you never knew you had before!
- The graphics are so real, you will think it's a real cow bell!
- Authentic cowbell audio, sounds just like the real think!
- Easy to use, no instructions required!
- Can be used over and over for hours of endless fun! It might end up being more addictive than you think!
I am always looking to improve my apps, so please leave comments with suggestions on things I can add to make it better! I update often based on feedback!
What are you waiting for!? Impress your friends! Honor the gods! Get the girl! All is possible when you download Cow Bell!

Perhaps in this case , the politics of personal destruction has failed.
Friend of Dr. Ford Felt Pressure to Revisit Statement
Bestie "beach friend" of Ford involved!
Leland Keyser, who Dr. Ford has said was present at the gathering where she was allegedly assaulted in the 1980s, told investigators that Monica McLean, a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a friend of Dr. Ford's, had urged her to clarify her statement, the people said.
[…] On Thursday, a day after sending to the White House the report on its investigation into the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, the FBI sent the White House and Senate an additional package of information that included text messages from Ms. McLean to Ms. Keyser, according to a person familiar with the matter.
McClean's lawyer is a former DOJ NSD attorney, the same group who were targeting Trump
It looks like Kavanaugh is in? He's even got Democrats supporting him.
Sen. Susan Collins who is a moderate and not a Trump fan has bravely called this one out and
changed the landscape .
I thought Dr Ford made a more sympathetic and convincing witness than Judge Kavanaugh, but haven't got a clue as to whether there was any truth in her allegations or not. My natural anti Trump instincts made me hope they were true, but, like anyone else who wasn't there, I have to rely on guesswork.
Therefore, it's interesting to see that, apart from one Republican and one Democrat who voted the "wrong" way, thereby cancelling each other out, the vote yesterday went along on completely predictable lines with party politics being the deciding factor in 98% of the voters - all seems quite "swampish" to me.
It was the same on here with it being easy to predict who all bar one of the contributors to this thread (TBG) were siding with before reading what they had to say - just seeing their names was enough to know. Before anyone accuses me of arrogantly putting myself above such things, I should say that I'm as guilty of it as anyone, but, unlike the person with has over 10,000 posts against his name and 90 per cent of them, at least, must be about American politics, I like to think I can admit when I'm wrong and do not believe, as is indicated in everything he posts on the subject, that one side is completely in the right and the other completely in the wrong - the world is becoming a f*cked up place and I dread to think where it's going to end unless people, myself included, become better at seeing the other side of an argument.
Since most of the posts in the Trump thread are about corruption and collusion of one sort of another, it is to be expected that those talking about it will have one kind of view or another. Furthermore, I only took an interest in this topic because I realised that it goes much further than American politics. The networks involved are global, and the same frameworks are being used in many countries. Therefore any wrongdoing uncovered in the American system will have global ramifications. We have already seen other countries pleading with Trump not to release the Carter Page FISA warrant information which implicates the Obama administration.
Personally, I wish it was all over and we could get back to normal. In fact, I originally thought that it would all be over fairly soon, but I didn't realise the full complexity of the issue, or that the system is set up to defend itself over all other interests. The media don't make things any any easier either, as they are usually complicit in any false narratives. The end result is that many people don't have a clue about what is really going on. The Americans are slowly getting there, and that is how an outsider got into the White House, but we still have a lot to learn about the ways of the world.
Trouble with debate or controversial events like this or Brexit ones argument is likely to be tainted by your political beliefs, anti Trumpys, couldnt wait to jump on the bandwagon.
With Brexit ,no matter how good a deal May gets it will be crap in the eyes of Labour voters ,because of the hatred towards her and her party .
I remember the Salisbury incident, lots of suggestions that the goverment were wrong, loads of point scoring, accusations, now silence from a lot folk .
Politics of envy I guess , it's not a weakness to sometimes see the good in others .
Brett Kavanaugh nomination: Victory for Trump in Supreme Court vote
The US Senate has voted to confirm President Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, after weeks of rancorous debate.
The Senate backed Brett Kavanaugh's nomination by 50 votes to 48.
Draining the swamp Trump Style #5,770,558
Kavanaugh was nominated by a candidate who lost the popular vote by 3 million+ votes.— Ally Maynard (@missmayn) October 5, 2018
The 49 Senators who voted 'No' on Kavanaugh represent 181.8 million Americans.
The 51 Senators who voted 'Yes' represent 143.2 million.
Our political system is broken.
Problem I have with your theory is that mass swathes of the media in this country are controlled by Rupert Murdoch who also controls a lot of media globally. He and his outlets espouse your views and theyre on a world wide scale.
So if indeed there are globalists theyre not restricted to the liberal media as you seem to define them solely being.

@AgileCoast1 ADF-11 Raven first I believe.
@axslayer33 you can see the opened nose on the first picture (and third to last). It basically elevates the cockpit section to reveal the laser cannon underneath.
The "invalid" entry is a radar weapon entry, which I used to make the display model in the cockpit rotate.
@PANICO TOTAL Split in 2 parts... perhaps possible with scripting, but I don't know how :/ I will probably make 2 different vehicles to feature both.

@PurpOp change the Blimp2 at the bottom, everything else stays the same
@orion13622 probably because these are custom weapon settings, I don't know how or if FiveM can handle them. If all fails, you have to change the weapons inside handling.meta to standard GTA V weapons.

Your balloon operator must comply with the following 3 legal requirements. The law requires that documents referred to in 1 and 2 (issued by the South African Civil Aviation Authority) must be displayed at the supplier's premises.
1.1. Valid CAA Air Service Licence
Can your balloon operator produce proof for your inspection of possessing a valid LICENCE to conduct business as an air service?
Generally a non-scheduled domestic air service.
1.2. Valid CAA Air Service Operations Certificate
Can your balloon operator produce proof for your inspection of possessing a currently valid AIR SERVICE OPERATIONS CERTIFICATE (or an official letter of exemption)?
This ensures that on the last CAA inspection the air service complied with all the legal operational requirements such as pilot licensing and currency, aircraft (balloon) licensing and airworthiness, aircraft maintenance personnel qualifications, ticketing procedures, safety and emergency procedures, passenger legal liability and 3rd party insurances, air navigation regulations and the like were in place and constantly updated.
1.3. Vehicles Licenced with SATB for Paying Passengers
Can your supplier produce proof that the vehicles used to transport your passengers are Licenced to transport fare paying passengers?
This fact is overlooked by many travel buyers.
The nature of ballooning requires that the participants have to be transported back from wherever the balloon lands to the original take-off venue and is, thus, an integral element of the package.
If any of these THREE CRITICAL QUESTIONS can not be answered with a definite YES
- The wellbeing of your passengers will be prejudiced b) Their insurance will very likely be invalidated and
- Your credibility as a responsible person will be in jeopardy

Resident: Roads get attention I read with interested a letter published recently regarding a perceived lack of road maintenance in Hanover County.
The facts are that our area roads have such much improvement recently. U.S. 360 and Cold Harbor and Pole Green roads have been repaved and widened in places.
Our delegate, Chris Peace, working in conjunction with our supervisors, is to be commended for helping to deliver these necessary improvements.
The article also seemed to reflect negatively on Del. Peace because the author did not get the response she wanted.
The truth is that Del. Peace is dedicated to good customer service and cares about his constituents. Recently, he successfully negotiated the correction of a serious problem on behalf of our Gaines Mill Homeowners Association, located just off Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville.
Residents had been unable to get any help from the local VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) office to correct a serious erosion problem regarding a lake crossing in our neighborhood. About a month ago, the dirt and grass sank in a 4x4-inch area and the crossing's safety was impaired.
When the local VDOT office told us it was the homeowners association's responsibility, we called Del. Peace to advocate on our behalf. Less than a week later, the repairs were completed.
As a driver and homeowner in Gaines Mill, who uses this lake crossing almost every day, I want to thank Del. Peace for his service and for being responsive to his constituents.

Show Me Christmas Inspirations from Market 2013
A Christmas Store takes lots of time and planning, but especially inspiration! We go to market in Atlanta and Dallas in January every year right after the holiday season. Believe me -it takes alot to inspire us especially after a busy year! After spending several days looking at what's new and hot at market, we get together with our team and plan the theme's for Miss Cayce's Christmas Store and Show Me Decorating. Here's a quick look at what inspired us and soon we'll unveil Miss Cayce's spin on the looks from market.
Traditional red and green explosion with a tree top filled with florals and pops of lime green.
North Pole a whimsical play on Elves and friends on a snowy tree. We love the elf legs as a tree topper. The colors of red, emerald green, and lime green with a pop of white say Welcome to the North Pole.
Peacock Splendor – we love the monochromatic color of turquoise and peacock feathers.
Vintage Cream and Silver-Shabby Chic is back! We saw this throughout market in home decor, furniture, gifts, and jewelry. Vintage was all over! Wait until you see our take on this look-we're going to call it Silver Service!
A what? A SNOWMAN ARCH TREE- oh my! Wouldn't this be amazing for an entrance or doorway. Frosty and friends also translates to a tree or garland with flocked foliage. We saw lots of snowmen!
We work hard at market but enjoy every minute of it and can't wait for you to see the new Miss Cayce's Christmas Store, Midland. Did you know it's worth a trip from anywhere?
Did you see a theme you really liked? Comment below
How do you decorate your tree? We would love for you to tell us and share a picture or two.
Happy Decorating Ya'll,
Becky and Kathy

Welcome to the Anthropology of the Contemporary Research Collaboratory (ARC). We are experimenting with ways to invent twenty-first century modes of inquiry cast in a contemporary ethos. Our experiment concerns the relation among and between knowledge, thought, and care, as well as the different forms and venues within which these relations might best be brought together and assembled.

|Discuss and Review Giant Thief
"I truly believe that this book will be one of the finest débuts of 2012."
– Fantasy Faction
"Fast-paced, quick-witted, engaging; as apt a description of Easie Damasco, reluctant hero, as of the novel itself."
– Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Tales of Einarinn
"Breathless pace… Damasco resembles a landlocked version of Jack Sparrow… The atypical backdrop, self-aware style and downplaying of magics bring to mind the contemporary fantasies of Scott Lynch and Joe Abercrombie."
– SFX Magazine
"David Tallerman's first novel is a gripping yarn, one that is difficult to put down once started, and this reviewer is eagerly awaiting the next tale of Easie Damasco."
– Starburst Magazine

– Mieneke van der Salm, A Fantastical Librarian
"If you're in the mood for something fast-paced and entertaining … simply fun, Giant Thief is a great choice."
– Stefan Raets, Tor.com
"Mostly this novel is about what happens when the wisecracking sidekick unexpectedly becomes the centre of attention. I was supposed to be doing other stuff today, but I opened the file and… the fact that this review is already written and the other stuff is yet to be done says it all."
– Gill Polack
"This really is a fun read. Saltlick is adorable, I want one! It's straightforward, linear, smack down the middle fast-paced goodness."

– Cybermage
"Cinematic and cool, Tallerman gives us a fun, fast debut where old fantasy tropes are dusted off and given a newer sheen for a new audience"
– My Favourite Books
"A charmingly insincere thief aids a ramshackle rebellion. The plot to steal a meaningful rock is overshadowed by his uncertain redemption. Some loose ends, but overall, an excellent fantasy debut."
– Pornokitsch
"Tallerman writes with a pace and style that makes the book impossible to put down. Fantasy adventure doesn't get more exciting than this."
– Morpheus Tales Supplement, issue #16
"This book just reads effortlessly, the prose is simple enough to make the pace electric, but complex enough to convey all the stylings and emotions required to fully flesh out the story."
– Ryan Lawler, Fantasy Book Review
"This is hands down the best novel of 2012 (save for perhaps the coming sequel; don't worry, there are no cliffhangers and the novel can stand alone). It is Easie Damasco's quick wit which will win the heart of the reader."

The history of presidential Fed bashing suggests it has not been a fruitful strategy
When talking about presidents using the Federal Reserve as a punching bag, it is always useful to start at the career of former Fed Chairman William McChesney Martin, who was nearly literally turned into a punching bag by President Lyndon Johnson.
The issue has come back to the fore with President Donald Trump's barrage of criticism for the Federal Reserve and its chairman, Jerome Powell.

In late 1965, the Fed raised short-term rates, alarmed by signs of inflation after tax cuts and with the war in Vietnam ramping up.
Johnson summoned Martin to his ranch and proceeded to bully him in an attempt to get the Fed to reverse course.
Johnson "physically shoved [Martin] around the living room," saying he didn't care about the boys in Vietnam, said Sebastian Mallaby, the author of a new biography about Alan Greenspan.
Martin did not back down and the discount rate rose in early 1966 for the first time in five years.
Martin's biographer, Robert Bremner, wrote that the Fed chairman "admitted later that he was shaken but determined to stick to his position and not to insult the president of the United States."
Vincent Reinhart, a former top aide to former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, thinks the LBJ episode shows public criticism of the Fed "is counter-productive."
"They're telling everyone they want to influence you. A public rebuke can't be brooked by anyone who cares about credibility. You don't want to be seen caving to political pressure," Reinhart said.
Irwin Morris, a professor at the University of Maryland, who has studies presidents and the Fed, agreed.
"The short answer is that there is relatively little evidence that the Fed responds to short-term presidential efforts to micro-manage its monetary policy activities," Morris said in an email.
The best it can do for a president is "shift blame" away from an administration, Morris said.
Reinhart said White House influence on the Fed has always been more significant when it was done "through the back channel."
The Nixon tapes reveal that President Richard Nixon pressured Fed Chair Arthur Burns to take easing actions ahead of the 1972 election. Although it remains controversial, many economists think Burns relented to the pressure.
Reinhart said the discussions between Nixon and Burns captured on tape are "cringing." But he said Burns thought there was room for stimulus anyway.
"Nixon was pushing on a partly open door," he said.
The Trump White House is not a "back channel" administration, and everyone knew Trump would slam the Fed, Reinhart said.
"It is hard to say why there has been such a market reaction to this," he said.
It will matter if Trump looks at the three remaining open Fed seats and changes the nominations.
So far, Trump's nominees have been "supportive" of Fed chairman Powell, Reinhart said.The president has the authority to fill seven of the eight Fed board positions.
Trump reached into the two Bush administrations for his first three Fed nominations, including Powell and Vice Chairman for Supervision Randal Quarles and Vice Chairman Richard Clarida.
The Senate Banking Committee has approved two other Trump's Fed nominees Michelle Bowman, a Kansas banking regulator, and Carnegie Mellon University economist Marvin Goodfriend, but they await a full Senate vote. The president last month nominated former Fed economist Nellie Liang to the board of governors.
The stock-market selloff has slashed almost 1,600 points from the Dow Jones Industrial DJIA, -0.55% in the past week. Many say concern about higher interest rates sparked the rout.
