Skip to comments.Longest Running Flame Wars (Vanity)
Posted on 10/13/2006 1:22:07 PM PDT by Axhandle
I was just curious, what is the longest running flame war on Free Republic (or other message boards)? Please post your link with start and end dates (approximate, if necessary).
Does flaming include zotting?
Just kidding, I have no idea.
It has to be either a drug thread or a creation thread
Probably one of the Schwarzenegger for Governor threads from 2003.
It would have to have been during the Elian fiasco or during the whole Terri Schiavo imbroglio.
Do you remember Michael or Eschior?
Eschior was a liberal lawyer from VA (?) who would sign on under phony names and raise hell.
Got to be an abortion thread.
Most excellent
I've been in a flame war with the same woman since about 2000. It started on one forum and then switched to another forum. It's actually rather humorous how she seems to be obsessed with everything I write, regardless of the subject.
I miss DITHF ('Deep-in-the-Hurtgen-Forest') or what ever his name was, the Medal of Honor, Special Forces, Brigadier General who had inside info on a Clinton/UN plot to rule the world back in 1999.
Regards, Ivan
There are no flame wars here, only learned argument.
i'm sure you have plenty going on Hildy : ))
Regards, Ivan
Whatever you do don't hookup with a person named "A".
I'm a big fan of Wellington (Sharpe's Rifle's and the Pennisula Wars are my favorite reading).
Looks like this one could be a contender. Your momma...
I have been poking some German's in a military web site in the eye for the last 5 years or so. They finally banned me this week :)
Wellington was estranged from his wife for most of his life. After his defeat of Napoleon, many young women wanted to share his bed. However, he refused. He said, "If I am to be the Duke of Wellington, I have to act like the Duke of Wellington."
Regards, Ivan
Do you wanna go for the record?
So who was the Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher who saved the day for you? :)
Regards, Ivan
That, and Napoleon's complete sluggishness and lack of inspiration. Typical genius--he got lazy and stopped believing he had to try. The greatest mistake a smart person commits is believing everyone else is stupid.
The Iron Duke never erred that way. A top-tier defensive mind. He would do well coaching the Chicago Bears.
You know what that usually means, don't you?? She likes ya.
This one could be a contender before it's over. Jerk.:)
Are you logged in?
They didnt used to be..
Maybe there's a PC vs. Apple vs. Linux battle out there?
The Buchanan vs Bush wars of 2000. Hands down. You can practically smell the blood in the air.
Those Drug war threads too. I miss the battles between Mr. LeRoy and robertpaulsen.
Might want to steer clear of anyone claiming to be a classy green-eyed blonde, too.
Want to trade notes? LOL
cept the IDers vs. Darwinists threads ( of which there are a bazillion )...they flame each other using big words, tricking the mods.
The longest running feud was between Ash and Don Morgan. Ash kept coming back under different names, so Don had to create a special HTML page with "Ash Alerts".
"Whatever you do don't hookup with a person named "A"."
Gee whiz!!! What did I ever do to you?
Could be one of the more recent Creo/Evo threads ~ went over a thousand posts.
Ya see, I don't see them as "flame wars," I just see them as "PASSIONATE DISCUSSIONS." As a matter of fact, passions were running really high this morning!!!
LOL!!! That would be fun, considering she generally takes my comments from FR to start new threads on the other site :)
The longest running feud was between Ash and Don Morgan. Ash kept coming back under different names, so Don had to create a special HTML page with "Ash Alerts"
I'd bet that OWK vs 'Everybody' was the longest.
-- Ash was a piker compared to One Who Knows. -- DonMorgan & Mojo gave OWK a run for his money at least, but he outlasted both of them.
Nah, I think it was a South Park thread

Skip to comments.Obama gut-busting inauguration lunch menu tops 3,000 calories
Posted on 01/21/2013 12:04:10 PM PST by SeekAndFind
The ceremonial lunch President Obama and his former congressional colleagues are eating Monday tops out at 3,000 calories, according to a website that has tallied up the luxurious menu of lobster, bison and apple pie. HealthyFoodRecipe.net posted the full menu, complete with its calorie count, and said it was unsatisfactory to see such an unhealthy spread, given first lady Michelle Obamas push for healthier eating.
She has come under fire for the high-calorie counts of some of the state dinners shes hosted at the White House, but other nutritionists have given her a pass, saying indulging on special occasions is perfectly fine. Inaugurations, which come every four years, are about as special as occasions get.
The first course is lobster tails in a New England clam chowder sauce. The second course is bison with a red potato horseradish cake. The dessert is apple pie with sour cream ice cream.
The chef preparing all of this is Shannon Shaffer, who also prepared the 2009 luncheon.
The menu was determined by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugurual Ceremonies, which is chaired by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat. Mr. Schumers home town of New York already requires all fast-food chains to post calorie counts.
And soon the rest of the country will have to follow suit. Mr. Obamas health law includes that same requirement.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
I like her hair hat. It would look better however if the bangs were a foot longer.
It would be so ironic if it was made from the hair of starving African children.
Michelle said she wasn't hungry, but this is what she ate.
A dozen raw potato slaw, chicken and a roast,
Apple sass, asperagas, soft shelled crabs on toast,
Two big stew, crackers too. Her appetite was immense.
When she asked for pie, I thought Id die, for I had but fifty cents
3,000 calories..my goodness Bloomberg must have had a coronary when he heard that number..oh wait..NOW I remember the liberal rule, its OK for THEM, not OK for US
In this instance, for once I don't mind their hypocrisy one bit. In fact, I think we should all encourage them to eat lots of food full of saturated fat and refined sugar and salt, drink as much liquor as they can before sharing their venereal diseases, and smoke tobacco like it was going out of style. Give an extra big portion of salt to Mayor Bloomberg, because he really likes his food extra salty.
And to make up for all of that, they should take lots of diet drugs, along with all their usual recreational narcotics, burning off all those extra pounds with potent amphetamines, washed down with expensive whiskey.
Yes, and while doing so they continue to spout sanctimoniously about how important it is for others to eat a healthy diet, etc.
Maybe Moochelle will roll over in her sleep and crush him.
Knock it off!!.....they're special.:^]
Yeah, it's OK for them, because they're superior enough to only do it once in a while. The poor slobs out here in the rest of the country, though, shouldn't be allowed to do it, whatever it is, because if they were allowed, they'd do it all the time.
Before the citizens consider Michelle to be the final word on healthy eating, maybe she should take a look in the mirrow...from behind.
Isn't that an ancient Cherokee recipe?
No, wait... that was crab in a tomato mayonnaise dressing.
If it wasn't for hypocrisy, what would liberals have left..nothing..its all they know..they can have guns, we can't..they can eat fatty foods, we can't..its the progressive mindset, its OK as long as you are one of them, otherwise its not allowed
I hope they all eat until they burst.
Calling it "hypocrisy" is giving them the benefit of the doubt for having good intentions, and accepting at face value what they say their goals are.
Time to stop that. Long past time to stop that.
Time to start pointing out what the real goals are that they won't admit. Elitist domination. That is their goal, and when you look at their actions in light of this goal, they're not "hypocrites" at all.
They are entirely consistent, and malevolent.
I do believe Gordon Ramsay would kick your a*s if you served him bison and lobster together.
All those poor slobs outside, standing in the cold DC January weather. And these bastards head indoors for a leisurely luxury lunch and toasts.
Everyone waiting for the parade, and the aristocracy vanishes for lunch
I think they're trying to hide her angry-black-woman brow.
Your right, they know exactly what they are doing..I am just used to using the word "Hypocrite" but it goes way beyond that..they have an agenda, always have had one..they want total control over our society and they are getting closer to that goal and it sickens me
Perhaps a few of the 8.3 million Americans who dropped out of the work force during the first four years of Baraq I's reign wouldn't have minded a nice lunch.
But hey. The elites gotta eat.
I think we use the word "hypocrite" to try to shame them or their supporters, as we would ourselves be shamed to support people or policies that were in conflict with our stated beliefs.
They have no shame.
May they all enjoy a helping of salmonella.
Well said. The way to couch this is something like this:
"Either the regime doesn't care about the unemployed due to serving a luxury lunch on Dependence Day, or it doesn't care about healthy Americans due to skirting the requirements on healthy eating which it forces on American schoolchildren. Which is it?"
Frame the message so the liberals have to choose between two bad options. Put them on the defensive. Don't let up.
You are right. It is long past time we stopped playing the 'aha, gotcha' game. They're going for our throats. Frame the argument to demean the liberal at every turn and separate them from decent society.
We used to call that a 24 piece order per person of Lobster McNuggets with Bearnaise sauce.
Looks like the first meal in prison!
I had a dream...
Nearly forgot, the Big Red Big Gulp or Double Gulp of Red Kool Aid for that special occasion for the kids and 40oz Colt 45 Malt Liquor for mom & dad.
Her Lardass has its own zipcode.
Liberal supporters, ie, sheeperals,
support what they do for one reason only -
to feel self-righteous.
When you take that away from them, it IS, indeed, "going for the throat". Eternally.
HA! (...and I meant "mirror")
I am boycotting TV today. Too much chance of coming across inauguration coverage
What I find most exciting of these two is just what is the world gonna do with them in four more years?
Remember the fury from the press because Bush served peanut butter and jelly as fare for his taxpayer funded junkets?
I think the press and media shape their political views based on what the president supplies them in the way of catering.
Behold the silverback gorilla.
Looks like she got her teeth fixed on our dime as well.
Why am I thinking this is not one of her approved school lunches?
"Maybe Moochelle will roll over in her sleep and crush him."
One can hope, can't one?
Eyebrows courtesy of Sharpie...........
You obviously assume that they share a bed...
There are doubters hanging out at some Chi-town bath houses...

Development Camp 2013: John Gilmour
Ryan Pike
August 07 2013 09:06AM
Providence College freshman John Gilmour ended his first year of college in a rather unique way – by being drafted by an NHL team. The native of Montreal – who in no way is related to Doug Gilmour – is a teammate of 2012 Flames draft picks Mark Jankowski and Jon Gillies, which most likely got him on the club's radar.
The finance major put up 13 points in 38 games as a freshman, but was generally regarded as a solid two-way blueliner rather than a stellar offensive threat. But if the Friars are expected to take a leap forward in the NCAA pecking order this season, Gilmour will be relied upon to maintain his defensive stance while pitching in a bit more offensively.
The 198th pick in the 2013 NHL Draft was in attendance at Flames development camp earlier this month, where I had the chance to speak with him a bit.
Ryan Pike: What was it like to hear your name called by Calgary, a team where you already know some guys?
John Gilmour: I was ecstatic. Really great feeling. Just to get drafted to the NHL is such an honour, especially a good city like Calgary where they love their hockey. It's great.
You're getting accustomed to the NHL with the development camp – probably your only taste this year because of school – is it helpful that you have teammates here?
Absolutely. It's not like I'm meeting a bunch of new faces – I am, also – but it's easier with other people who are helping me adjust here at development camp, and it's nice to see some familiar faces.
You're also seeing some guys from Hockey East that are teammates right now but will be facing you in Hockey East in the fall. Are you scouting any of these guys?
We'll play a bunch of these guys all year. They're all really great players. It's really competitive out here. We pretty much know what they're all about, and they're all skilled, you can't really get a really good read on them all the time – they're always getting better and you've just got to do the same.
Providence College was a young team last year, but you opened a lot of eyes and impressed people. What are your goals for next year, because obviously you want to keep getting better?
Our goal is to go as far as winning a national championship and winning Hockey East. We think we can do it because we came pretty far last year. We're just playing with our finish. With all the young guys in our line-up who are getting all the experience now, we feel like there's no excuse not to win.
Flames Development Camp Profiles
August 07 2013, 09:42AM
Chances are he's not actually in the picture. Finding one of John Gilmour is difficult.
@Ryan Pike
Good to know he is a bright kid, a Finance Major is about as difficult as a buisness degree gets. I would completely lambaste the Flames for wasting picks on Tim Harrison & John Gilmour. When first year eligible Major Junior players like Jesse Lees, Jaedon Descheneau went undrafted and could have been had in the 7th, but Tim Harrison looks like a very decent pick. Sometimes these personal picks work out these are the a scout was watching someone else and noticed them types. None of these players were ranked by anyone its mostly done just to appease an area scout, IMO. At least unlike Philadelphia the Flames are making these picks in the 7th and not the 3rd... Tyrell Goulbourne... Yikes!!!! People think Calgary reached on Kanzig at least people had him ranked and he has upside!! Goulbourne is a second year eligible middleweight fighter.
The one odd thing about the Gilmor pick is in two years he could been had for a one way AHL contract. Why draft him??? Oh well.
The Flames draft this season was like most teams, they got some very solid high end talent that was available in the earlier rounds then they just started taking shots in the dark in the later rounds. Look at Edmonton they drafted London's fourth line centre, a Midget AAA & a 20 year-old tier two BCHLer.
Not pictured. 5'10", 180 pounds.
Which one is he in the picture? I hope it's #44.
Whose #44? He looks like he could eat #19 and still have room for fries.
August 07 2013, 09:59AM
Aside from a solid 2-way defender, what's he all about? Where was he ranked in the draft? What is his ceiling?
Aside from a solid 2-way defender, what's he all about? Where was he ranked in the draft? What is his ceiling?
As an undersized, overaged, last round draftee I feel pretty confident saying "probably not high".
August 07 2013, 10:12AM
I don't even know if he was ranked. Gilmour is already 20, but has only played one year in college hockey.

West Hills, CA
Bought this paddle for day trips/touring and it so far seems perfect for it. As I am used to all-carbon paddles it seems a little heavy, but not more than expected. The angle adjustment/shaft lock works perfect, and makes it feel like a one-piece paddle.
Oslo, Norway
I just used my new Skagit paddle for the first time today and I am impressed.The reinforced nylon blades are very smooth in the water and the shaft is easy on the hands and relatively light. I paddled a quick 5 miles today with no fatigue whatsoever. The flattened grip helps a little with that too. There is no flex whatsoever, which I like and you can feather it 22 degrees in either direction. The Skagit doesn't move quite as much water as I would like but it moves my Tsunami 145 along at a good rate of speed. Great paddle for the price.

Please enter your comments below.
Later Rush!!! America & The Conservatives will be better off when you're off the air!
Mr. I'm RIGHT 99.9 % of the time; was way wrong this time!!! Rush is the Conservatives biggest problem. Half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair. (he only has 1/2!!) He insults his listener's on an everyday basis, with just that one line; but the sheep continue to follow... I admit, when I need a laugh, I will tune in to see where his wheel of HATE landed for the day. He is making an obscene amount of money, being a LOUD MOUTH SCUMBAG!!! It's time for the MASTER OF SPIN,TURN,TWIST, PULL INSIDE OUT AND BACKWARDS (to try to always make the Conservatives the angels and everyone else the devil) TO GO!!!! How do people not see through that!!! I can't believe, I'm going to say this, But I know I've heard Rush say it a few times ,and it fits so well for the situation. (I'm a lady and would usually never talk this way) Looks like it's Rush's turn, to do the bending over and grabbing his ankles. I HOPE SANDRA SUES HIS SORRY A$$!!! He's only sorry for himself!!! I'll continue to check in on Tom and Sandy's show, for awhile. But, if WBEN doesn't drop Rush, I'm dropping WBEN.
Good Bye WBEN
I am a Republican and Roman Catholic that is vehemently opposed to the idea of any type of government support for contraceptives. However, the language and vile personal attacks that are becoming more and more common on the Rush Limbaugh show are unacceptable in our civilized country and advances the moral decline of our society. I listened to Sandy Beach on Friday and Monday. His support for Rush's actions made me nauseous. I can no longer listen to your radio station nor will I ever support any of your sponsors.
We're better than this...
He is a disgusting blowhard with nothing of value to offer. Take him off the air!
The almighty holy leader of the GOP
...and remember, the GOP calls itself the "family values" party. With Limbaugh as their shining example. The Manson family maybe. Or the Addams family. Nice going, hypocrites.
No Way.
So much for the first amendment. The left gets away with far worse comments. How about they apologize. Why doesn't the whole left apologize for the State of America.
RE No Way.
"First Amendment" -- this is a perfect example of people who get their information from right wing sources having no idea what they're talking about. (Look at all the studies that show Fox News viewers to be extremely uninformed.) This is not a 1st Amendment issue. Limbaugh's not being brought up on criminal charges; he's merely facing the consequences of his statements. Advertisers don't want to be associated with depraved filth; the free market is working. BTW why don't YOU apologize for what George W Bush and his criminal gang did to America, which will take a generation to repair.

Every cooling system operates under stress. When stress is too high, operational problems — scale, corrosion, microbial growth or macro fouling — result. System users rarely have control of the sources of changing stress. Factors like variation in cooling water chemistry, ambient temperatures, bio-activity drought conditions, excessive rainfall, algae blooms, or agricultural runoff of suspended solids influence the the potential for an operational problem to occur.
3D TRASAR for once through cooling systems measures key system parameters related to system stress. It detects changes, responds with appropriate corrective action and communicates this information with system operators. By managing a once through cooling system based on the stresses placed upon it, 3D TRASAR prevents operational problems and minimizes Total Cost of Operation (TCO).

My brother is the proprietor of Rare Steakhouse in Miami Beach, Florida. I figured what better place to look for good grilling ideas than a top-rated steakhouse? Here is a special surprise recipe from Chaim Goldgrab, executive chef of Extreme Catering for the Rare Group.
- 2 lb (1 kg) dark or regular chicken cutlets, cleaned -
- Marinade
- ¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp vegetable oil -
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce -
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce or 2 Tbsp bottled steak sauce or homemade combination (see tip below) -
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar -
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice -
- 1½ tsp dried mustard -
- ½ tsp salt -
- ¾ tsp black pepper -
- ¼ tsp finely minced fresh parsley -
In a medium bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir in the dried mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Pour marinade over the chicken cutlets and allow to marinate for at least an hour before cooking. Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side to ensure even cooking.
Note: The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
Tip: If you don't have fish-free Worcestershire sauce, try this combination instead: 1 tsp tamarind paste, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cider or white vinegar, a dash hot pepper sauce, and a scant pinch cloves.
This recipe appeared in Mishpacha Magazine's Family First Issue 297, June 27, 2012.

Rick Reilly got an apology email from Lance Armstrong. Â He wasn't happy about it.
Among my emails Wednesday morning, out of the blue, was one from Lance Armstrong.
Riles, I'm sorry.
All I can say for now but also the most heartfelt thing too. Two very important words.
And my first thought was … "Two words? That's it?"
Two words? For 14 years of defending a man? And in the end, being made to look like a chump?
Wrote it, said it, tweeted it: "He's clean." Put it in columns, said it on radio, said it on TV. Staked my reputation on it.
"Never failed a drug test," I'd always point out. "Most tested athlete in the world. Tested maybe 500 times. Never flunked one."
Why? Because Armstrong always told me he was clean.
On the record. Off the record. Every kind of record. In Colorado. In Texas. In France. On team buses. In cars. On cell phones.
I'd sit there with him, in some Tour de France hotel room while he was getting his daily postrace massage. And we'd talk through the hole in the table about how he stared down this guy or that guy, how he'd fooled Jan Ullrich on the torturous Alpe d'Huez into thinking he was gassed and then suddenly sprinted away to win. How he ordered chase packs from the center of the peloton and reeled in all the pretenders.
And then I'd bring up whatever latest charge was levied against him. "There's this former teammate who says he heard you tell doctors you doped." "There's this former assistant back in Austin who says you cheated." "There's this assistant they say they caught disposing of your drug paraphernalia."
And every time — every single time — he'd push himself up on his elbows and his face would be red and he'd stare at me like I'd just shot his dog and give me some very well-delivered explanation involving a few dozen F words, a painting of the accuser as a wronged employee seeking revenge, and how lawsuits were forthcoming.
And when my own reporting would produce no proof, I'd be convinced. I'd go out there and continue polishing a legend that turned out to be plated in fool's gold.
Even after he retired, the hits just kept coming. A London Times report. A Daniel Coyne book. A U.S. federal investigation. All liars and thieves, he'd snarl.
I remember one time we talked on the phone for half an hour, all off the record, at his insistence, and I asked him three times, "Just tell me. Straight up. Did you do any of this stuff?"
"No! I didn't do s—!"
And the whole time he was lying. Right in my earpiece. Knowing that I'd hang up and go back out there and spread the fertilizer around some more.
And now, just like that, it's all flipped. Thursday and Friday night we'll see him look right into the face of Oprah Winfrey and tell her just the opposite. He'll tell her, she says, that he doped to win.
I get it. He's ruined. He's lost every single sponsor. Nearly every close teammate has turned on him. All seven Tour de France titles have been stripped. He could owe millions. He might be in a hot kettle with the feds. Even the future he planned for himself — triathlons and mountain biking — have been snatched away. He's banned from those for life.
So I get it. The road to redemption goes through Oprah, where he'll finally say those two very important words, "I'm sorry," and hope the USADA will cut the ban from lifetime to the minimum eight years.
But here's the thing. When he says he's sorry now, how do we know he's not still lying? How do we know it's not just another great performance by the all-time leader in them?

Deeplinks Blog posts about Innovation
Today, EFF announced that it was making a formal objection to including consideration of digital rights management (DRM) in the First Public Working Draft from the HTML working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This is part of EFF's long-running involvement in standards processes, fighting the entertainment companies and DRM vendors that want permanent control over disruptive technologies.
Once again, we are seeing entrenched interests try to fight the future with scare tactics and misinformation. This time, it's major journal publishers, and their target is open access to taxpayer-funded research.
First things first: The reason the publishers are on the warpath is that state and federal legislators are looking to expand open access. One of the leading bills is California's open access bill (AB 609). This legislation is being discussed in the Assembly's Appropriations Committee tomorrow. If you're a California resident, now is the time to contact your Assembly member and ask that they support public access to taxpayer-funded research.
There is exciting news out of the Green Mountain State this week: folks in Vermont are so fed up with patent troll abuse that they are taking matters into their own hands. With trolls filing thousands of lawsuits every year and blanketing the country in threat letters, states are looking for ways to protect victims—especially small entities that lack the resources to defend against a patent suit. Vermont is tackling trolls on two separate fronts.
With patent trolls and patent wars creating a massive drag on innovation, a number of companies have investigated ways to navigate the patent system while still promoting openness and competition. Twitter has been especially active in this space—both by fighting back against patent trolls and in giving its own developers a voice through its Innovator's Patent Agreement (IPA).
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) — a sprawling international agreement currently being negotiated in secret meetings between government and industry representatives around the world — claims to be focused on the kind of trade regulations that affect countries and huge corporations. But in fact, many of its provisions would have profound chilling effects on hackers, makers, and tinkerers.
The problems for hackers and makers stem from the so-called "anti-circumvention" rules that have appeared in leaked drafts of the agreement. That language reflects a controversial clause of U.S. copyright law that makes it illegal to bypass technical measures that are put in place to restrict copyrighted content — such as measures that limit the number of devices on which you can play a video you legally purchased.

Abilene ISD board adds $87 million school improvement bond to November ballot
ABILENE, Texas - Abilene ISD's board voted unanimously to add a $87 million bond to the ballot in November to fix and replace old school buildings.
Before the vote there were hours of debate about the proposal.
Arguments surrounding the bond election weren't whether it was needed. Everyone at the meeting seemed to agree the money was necessary to update and renovate school campuses.
Former trustee Samuel Garcia said he is in favor of the bond, but he had hoped they would wait until May to put it up for a vote.
"It would give the community a little more time to study the issues of the bond," said Garcia.
Board member Laura Dyer said she thought it was better to address the issue sooner rather than later.
"The potential is that it will cost much more money for the repayment of the bonds as interest rates are going up and then we'll lose the advantage of having the summer to work," said Dyer.
Another point Garcia made is that the bond may be too low.
"The original number was $237 million and so at least close to half of that is what I think in my opinion is what will make an impact, but they're at $87 million and that will at least help kids in our district," said Garcia.
Voters will make the final decision on Nov. 5.
In Abilene ISD the average school facility is 44 years old. The last AISD bond was passed in the 2004 election. It totaled $76.5 million. Abilene voters, however, have shot down the last two bond elections, including one from 2009 for $25 million.

sexyrexy, on 26 August 2013 - 12:04 PM, said:
You say starters don't play the 4th preseason game. Clearly the Jets don't prescribe to conventional wisdom, as they've yet to name a starter and are allowing the competition to go into the 4th game. So there's no reason not to have held Sanchez back and let him get a series or two vs. Philly.
It was beyond stupid.
I doubt any starters are playing in the Philly game.
What I don't understand is when did Sanchez become the solution? Many of you guys wanted him cut or wanted him benched. The injury effectively does that yet you guys complain that Rex shouldn't have let Sanchez in. Geno isn't ready but Sanchez hasn't answered any questions these past few games either.

Chapter 6
Elisha causes an ax to float—He reveals to the king how to conduct a war with Syria—Horses and chariots of fire protect Elisha—The Syrians are smitten with blindness—Benhadad besieges Samaria, and foodstuff sells for a great price.
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
8 ¶Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 ¶And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with
19 ¶And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou
23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 ¶And it came to pass after this, that
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 So we boiled my son, and did
30 ¶And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he
31 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a
33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?

|In response to Re: Sewer line to street clogged again
I do not think he unplugged it properly the first time. He should have used the auger to unplug the line first. I do not know what a Plumbers Buddy is, but I suspect it is a water injector balloon to flush the lines.
: A couple weeks ago I had some problems with a bit of backup in my basement toilet and shower. I had a drain specialist to the house, and he found that my backflow flap where the sewer line leaves the house to the street had rusted off its hinge and was partially blocking the line. He was able to use a "plumber's buddy" to clear a "soft clog" in the line to the street with water. He also ran an auger through it to make sure there were no other problems like tree roots, it went to the main line without any problems and only had a couple tiny roots (about the size of threads) caught on it. Since the trees in the area are all very mature, he didn't think I'd have to worry about new roots in the future if they haven't been a problem up until now.
: I figured my problems were over, but obviously the "soft clog" is back. If I flush the upstairs toilet 5 times in a row, I can see a tiny bit of water coming up out of the plate that covers access to where the backflow flap is installed (I haven't had a new one put in yet) Water in that line will drain, but VERY slowly, so its obvious it is getting through only very slowly. I checked my vent stack up on my roof this afternoon and it isn't blocked (I snaked it 10 feet down, beyond where the toilet connects, and found no evidence of any obstruction) So this isn't a venting problem. Obviously I have another "soft clog", which I can get cleared again easily enough, but I'm concerned that this happened again so quickly. Is there anything that would cause this if the line was augered so recently? He said it cost $175 to get the line looked at with fiber optics, so I didn't have him do it last time, but I'm wondering if maybe I should consider this. Or is there something else to look for first?

A Springfield high school teacher is this year's "Teacher of the Year" in Massachusetts. The award calls attention to a new initiative in the city's schools. Central High's Anne Marie Bettencourt has been helping establish the "9th grade academy" for the past five years. It's a model being used now in all of Springfield's high schools. Bettencourt says freshman demand a unique approach.
"We know through research that if kids don't make it through 9th grade on the first try, there's a fifty percent chance that those kids are not going to finish high school."
Bettencourt says she herself came close to dropping out in tenth grade. She says she didn't see the point of school until one teacher noticed her writing ability. And that's what Bettencourt and her team strive to do for 9th graders — figure out how to reach them.
"When I see a lot of urban kids I see a lot of walls that are put up. And it might be because a high rate of teacher turn over, it might be because of what they're bringing from home. And so that's really the focal point of our job is to find the minute things. The head goes down you say something. If a kid walks in late. Those are all the clues that the kid wants you to notice them."
Comissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Mitchell says Bettencourt is proof the district is moving in the right direction. But he says the city's middle schools still need a lot of work.
"The challenge here is to make sure that the kind of excellence that Anne Marie represents is found throughout the whole school system."
District officials say they hope to attract more qualified teachers, but realize pay is a problem. They say a tentative contract is being negotiated to increase district salaries.

People Power - Bicycling and Walking
Fewer people are using bicycles or walking for local trips. The car has replaced "people power," even for short trips to the local grocery store. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, walking as a percentage of trips has declined nearly 50 percent since the 1970s. For children, bicycling as a way of getting around has declined by about one-third during that same time period.
Though the popularity of walking and bicycling seems to be decreasing, many people use the two as forms of exercise rather than as modes of transportation. But that may be changing as more emphasis is being placed on urban bike trails and as people move into inner cities and live closer to their jobs.
In California, hundreds of miles of urban bike trails can be found in the major cities: San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco.
Of the more than 4,000 miles of freeways in California, about 1,000 miles are open to bicyclists. These open sections are usually in rural areas where there is no alternate route.For more information, please contact:

Walking is excellent exercise. Americans are too sedentary, relying on cars to go a few blocks to work or school. So, a better way to get around for short distances would be to put on a good pair of athletic or walking shoes and WALK. It saves money and energy and helps you shed a few pounds too.
A Caltrans report - California Blueprint for Bicycling and Walking published in May 2002 - outlined state plans for a 50 percent increase in people walking to work. The report said, "The 2000 Census found that in Massachusetts, 3.9 percent of commuters walked to work; in California, 2.7 percent walked. A 50 percent increase in pedestrian commuters would place California slightly above Massachusetts' current level (though still far below New York's 5.3 percent pedestrian share)."
The PBS Show "America's Walking," (www.pbs.org/americaswalking/index.html) offered some Ways to Make Your Community More Walkable.
- Organize a neighborhood cleanup day or simply take a bag and pick up trash along your normal walking routes.
- Trim hedges or trees that might block sidewalks or obscure a pedestrian's view at a crosswalk; ask your neighbors to do the same (or offer to do it for them).
- Be a considerate driver - set an example by driving at safe speeds in neighborhoods, letting pedestrians cross at intersections, and not stopping in crosswalks. Urge family and friends to do the same.
- Notify the animal control officer of scary dogs and the police of suspicious activity.
- Plant trees and flowers if you have property abutting sidewalks or trails. Or adopt and care for a public space or garden (many towns encourage this) along walking routes.
- Report streetlights or signal lights that are out to your local department of public works.
- If you have sidewalks on your property, set an example by quickly clearing it of snow, leaves, or other debris.

Clotilde was signing her brand new cookbook, Chocolate and Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen at Dean & Deluca in Soho. We first met over hot chocolate while I was searching Google for petit dejeuner pictures.
"Un Café au Carré", photograph by Clotilde Dusoulier ©
Finally I found the perfect picture that captured all the intimacy of a Paris cafe breakfast- A notebook spread on the table before a cup of expresso plus one of those the typical French water carafes I love so much. You could so easily imagine yourself sitting at that table... I followed the photograph back to it's owner and discovered my first blog, Chocolate and Zucchini in October 2005.
We met many mornings over a cup of hot chocolate. I found a new friend and a window into everyday Parisien life (while still in my P-Js).Most of my photos of Clotilde are blurry :(
It's one thing to steal a shot of a macaron cart in Galeries Lafayette, but it felt invasive taking pictures of someone I'd only met in my pajamas...
I did take this shot of another C&Z fan. Clotilde is every bit as refreshing, natural and charming as you would imagine from reading her blog.
And her cookbook is every bit as engaging and addictive.
It's full of the same sweet, funny stories. Clotilde took all her own food photographs making her book much more personal. It's the perfect size for reading in bed too. We all got to taste the real Chocolate and Zucchini cake! The recipe is on page 166...
Thank you Clotilde for sharing your life with us, your wit, your special point of view. How many other readers were so inspired by you to start their own blogs?
Many I'll bet. Here's the funny thing...
Most mornings now, while still in my PJs, still over hot chocolate, I'm busy painting and writing Paris stories to tell you, dear readers. Some of you even think I live in Paris (I wish!) Funny thing is that sometimes I get emails from you telling me how you read Paris Breakfasts over coffee while still in your pajamas...So thank you Clotilde Dusoulier!
And have a GREAT BOOK TOUR :)
