Wow. Just wow. That chapter was so full of sexy!!
Now moving on.
On the other hand, I absolutely loveedd Kanda's entrance. Just like we all thought, he waltzed right in. What I did NOT expect, is for him to call Lenalee 'quite ugly'. Not that I disagree, Hoshino has been drawing her in a very non-flattering way since well..last chapter. Allen's leaving does that to people
And is it just me or does Allen have that 'bad boy' look in his eyes. While I'm a bit worried about that little girl, I'm more worried that the stupid Grim Reaper is still after him! He should give up already, Allen made it very clear he was not interested in that kind of a relationship...but hey, who can resist right?
Ok ok I'm done flattering Allen in every possible way. Kanda Yuu pulls off the most masculine flower I've ever in my life seen. True story. Not that I've seen another male-human-flower combo before...
Thank you Hoshino!!! This was a wonderful chapter, and personally, I love where this is headed.
And hey, at least the number of pages is steadily going up every month! We'll get to 40 soon enough, I'm sure.

At least there are guys like Ed Reed to balance out the thug-U-niverse.
Is it 3am yet?
lol are we still hoping for Kyle to come thru . . . I mean geez I pretty much gave up hope on him (tho a coaching change maybe awards him one more chance). The kid has major talent . . . but u can tell its all mental w/ him. The Line has not nearly been as good as it was when we had Dorsey . . . but Wright makes the line look HORRID and his infamous tuck and run just leaves me frustrated . . . especially when he does it too early. With that being said . . . I rather him over Freeman . . . Freeman isn't a "U" QB . . . he just looked ok because Kyle was horrible. I wouldn't mind seeing the kid from Tampa if Kyle still struggles . . . he really has been a disappointment . . . he looked real good against FSU 2 years ago (tho we still lost), I was expecting big things . . . hell I even called him a Heisman sleeper last year . . . boy was I wrong. Its a shame too, because this team can run the ball very well . . . if we can just find a constant in the passing game . . . and w/ Randy's defense still strong . . . we could suprise a few heads.
Go Canes!!
who's the recruit who was shot in tampa?
I can wait to see our defense unleashed this year. We should be the #1 defense in the Nation. Wright should be more mature along with our offensive line (4 returning starters). Can't wait for the Sooners game. Oklahoma has had its share of tornados, but they dont know how to prepare for a Hurricane.
Which games are u guys going to this year?
Unfortunately i dont have seson tickets anymore b/c I live in redneck Gaynesville, but Im going to get tickets for thurs night Texas A & M, and Georgia Tech.
Anyone else, Bueller, anyone?

|Mylec Z-Blade Hockey Blades Sr
Lowest Price Guarantee
The Mylec Z-Blade hockey blade is designed for recreational street hockey play. Mylec has used a plastic construction with a glass filled core for increased durability and rigidity. The Mylec Z-Blade fits standard senior hockey shafts.
- Construction:
- Nylon with rigid glass fill
- Hosel:
- Traditional wood
- Core:
- Glass filled
- Fits: Standard hockey shafts (Non-tapered shafts)
- Weight: 230 grams
Comments: This is a nice glass filled nylon blade. Great for outdoor inline hockey, however, you'll notice that the heel is narrower (about 2-5/16ths") with the front of the blade (about 3"). This is an issue when playing on agressive surfaces like asphalt because you don't have a lot of material to lose before the abrasive nature of asphalt creates a blade too narrow at the heel to catch bouncy ball passes easily. Wrist shots are harder to control when the blade goes much thinner at the heel like this as well. My son drills the heel in several places with a 1/8th drill bit and scews #8 screws into the blade which prolongs the blade life quite a bit. It would be nice if Mylec would just increase the blade height at the heel to 3 inches. Otherwise, a nice blade.
From: Norman, Louisville, KY
Comments: This blade is an interesting option. Kind of a cross from a real ABS hockey blade and the plastic Franklin blades you can buy that went over a wooden shaft and drilled on. This blade is pretty heavy but it is durable and will not break, I kept using mine until it was a thin strip or bacon. The blade is not as rigid as a real ABS blade and flexes some on real hard shots or when you are fighting for the puck, but just slightly, not enough to make it seem like you are 'slicing' the puck/ball. And its not as flexible as the old Franklin blades. A plus to this is that you can put your own custom curve on the blade easily but leaving it in boiling water until it is soft enough to manipulate and then sticking it in the freezer to set. I had some fun with it and put a filthy toe hook an the front 3" of the blade...DIRTY toe drags, but not a great shooters curve, hahaha.
From: Gear Executive, Fort Collins, CO

By ROB CASSINGHAM
Two dozen volunteers recently braved 100 degree temperatures to pick up bags full of litter, broken glass, diapers and waste from Green River's Crystal Geyser.
Located eight miles south east of Green River, the geyser was accidentally created in 1935 when an oil test well hit a large pocket of carbon dioxide gas.
The result was a spectacular and very rare cold water geyser that erupts two or three times a day, occasionally reaching heights as much as 80 feet. Highly mineralized waters have created a spectacular bench of rust-colored travertine reaching down to the edge of the river. Since it began erupting, it has attracted thousands of sightseers each year (many of whom wait hours to witness the spectacle), the river runners commonly use the area as a launch site when running Labyrinth Canyon.
Lacking any trash receptacles or restrooms, the area surrounding the geyser has felt the impact from so many visitors. The city of Green River, which now owns Crystal Geyser, is taking steps to correct the situation. The area is to be developed as a scenic park, with plans for picnic tables, barbecue grills, a covered pavilion (there currently are no shaded areas), trash barrels, and a pit toilet. Grant money is being solicited from the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation, and donations of facilities, manpower and additional funding are being sought.
Before these plans can become reality, however, a real need existed for a thorough clean-up of the area. Enter Kirk Dunham, pastor of the Green River Community Church, and 23 members of a youth group hailing from Texas and Green River. For three hours on a blazing hot day, the group stooped, scooped and finished up pooped, but their efforts were very productive, removing an estimated 60 pounds of litter.

A late 19th Century French Savonnerie design is balanced by floral and geometric shapes making it both feminine and masculine. Rendered in pastel colors. You will see black with cream and accents of tan, brown, khaki, dull pink, deep purple, dull green, green, blue and reddish-pink. This stunning Global Rug Gallery™ piece boasts a hand-tufted technique. Made from 100% wool tufts, this marvelous rug is sure to be the artwork for your floor that your room cannot do without. This rug can accent carpet while giving extra coverage in high traffic areas. This rug will also be perfect on hard flooring - warming up a room and softening the decor.
Wool rugs are excellent sound barriers, naturally fire retardant and stain resistant - long wearing and easy maintenance. Bull nose stitched bordering allows the edges of the rug to hold up to vacuuming. Use this traditional piece as artwork for your floor! Made in India.
ABOUT HAND-TUFTING: Quality hand-tufted rugs offer traditional oriental and modern carpet designs at more affordable prices. The hand-tufted rug looks and feels very much like a hand-knotted rug, though they differ in construction methods. Rather than tying each knot by hand, a tufted rug achieves its look by way of a tufting gun from the back of the rug. Using the same fine wool and dyes achieves a quality finish.
2'3" x 7': 13 lbs
8' x 10': 55 lbs
Initial Care: Unroll, lay flat and vacuum the rug. Shedding, mild odors and rolled or wrinkled edges are normal/common when the rug is new. We recommend vacuuming once a day for the first five days to remove loose fibers; you may fill more than one canister or bag worth of loose fibers initially. Vacuum in all directions with your vacuum set at a low setting. Doing this will not harm or damage your rug; it will help decrease future shedding.
Routine care: Vacuum once every week or two; set your vacuum on a medium or high setting. You may still see wool fibers in your canister/bag but the amount will diminish over time. Seek a professional rug cleaner if in doubt. Use a rug pad underneath to help preserve the life of your rug and provide slippage protection. Clip all loose yarns; do not pull. Blot spills immediately; spot clean with warm water and mild soap.
We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. Due to possible variances in manufacturer dye lots, however, colors may vary slightly from what is depicted. Each rug is made by hand and uniquely original - minor variations may occur in size and color.
Whatever your style, there is no mistaking there are hundreds of different types of rugs from which to choose. It can be overwhelming, but try following these tips:
There are many elements that can cause damage to your rug. By protecting your rug from them, you can help keep it looking new, longer.
The first harmful element is the sun. Sun damage can appear in the form of fading or discoloration of your rug. To protect your rug against sun damage, you should place it in an area that doesn't get much sunlight or use a window treatment to block the direct sun. Also remember how important it is to turn your rug once a year. This will ensure equal amounts of sun exposure over the life of your rug.
The second factor you should keep in mind is protecting your rug from water damage. Do not place potted plants directly on your rug. If you do, water can leak out of the pot and onto the rug. Moisture could potentially build there for weeks and ultimately weaken the foundation of your rug. Also, be mindful if it's in your entryway, dining or living areas. Rain droplets or spilled liquids should be dried immediately.
Lastly, you will want to protect your rug from your lovable pets. That's right, cats and dogs can cause serious damage to rugs. Often times, dogs will use them as chew toys and cats will use them as claw-sharpening devices. Employ proper obedience methods in order to protect your rug from pet antics.
Process & Materials
The quality of a rug is often determined by two factors: process and materials. Handmade, natural material rugs may be more expensive than machine-made synthetic ones since hand-weaving is such a time-intensive process. While a hand-woven rug is considered quite luxurious, the machine-made rug process has been diligently perfected over the years. This is a good option to get the handmade look without the handmade price!
Materials used in rugs can also make a big impact on cost and quality. Wool is used in many countries, as it is a durable substance and seen as the most traditional material. Although this is the component of choice, less expensive synthetic materials are also common in the man-made marketplace today. The type of material used often varies by the country of origin. For example, Persian rugs usually incorporate soft wool, while silk is the material of choice for Chinese rugs.

The Varieties Of Temporal Experience
By Allan EastmanGo back to Page 4
Take The Time
©iStockphoto.com/Gergo Orban
So, what do we learn about Time through our Subjective experience of it?
I've said before here on these pages that the opportunity to study and think about Time that timeanddate.com has given me in writing these pieces only leads me deeper into what a mystery Time really is. Like Life itself, the more you try to comprehend it, the more elusive understanding seems to become. But in some ways, that only makes sense because we human beings are imperfect and mortal creatures. We do our best to try to find understanding of the World and the Universe around us but our own limitations stop us from being definitive, really about anything. Our comprehension of Life shifts according to new ideas and discoveries or even because of our cultural or individual biases.
To me, it has become easy to accept that Time may not exist except as a collection of Nows in the Universe and that the sense of Time passing in a durational way that we seem to experience is just an invention of our brains and of our cultures. Events like my Jamaican tumble make me wonder how Time can be anything if such experiences can occur in anyone's life.
But the problem of course, is that because we have convinced ourselves that we do live in moving durational linear Time and because the World is geared to go along with that notion, then we simply have to deal with it. If nothing else, the terminal duration of our own existences requires us to believe that Time is a reality.
In a world where people increasingly complain about how quickly Time passes and how short Life seems to be – our allotted three score and ten or whatever – maybe there is a clue to dealing with it better in the Time Dilation experiences that so many of us have. Is it possible to access that mental state to slow down Time and at least, give us the impression that our own personal Time is passing more slowly?
The clue lies, I believe, in the timeless Wonder we experience as children. This is a world of new experience where everything we encounter displays an almost magical fascination to us so every new impression is flooded with excitement and discovery. As adults, we are too often enveloped in the anesthetic of the familiar, endlessly going over the same ground and doing the same things over and over again.
So maybe one way to handle Time is to try to rediscover the Wonder we had as children – to try new things, to challenge ourselves with new information and new impressions, to seek out new experience, new people and new surroundings. We need to look beyond our day to day familiar existences and rediscover what an extraordinary World we really live in.
Start with simple things. Go for a walk and really look at the structure of plants and flowers. Really feel the water flowing on your skin when you go swimming. Find a place to look at the stars. Taste what you're eating. Feel everything that you're experiencing when you make love. Take the Time to truly experience Life again.
OK, it's not going to change the inevitable but for sure, it's going to make it feel like Life is lasting a lot longer. And that's a very worthwhile thing after all.
outside every few minutes to look at the moon, which is only visible as a fuzzy
light semi hidden behind clouds. I still hope to see the actual moon when it is
fully eclipsed in a half hour or so. In the meantime, I will sit and meditate
and hope to experience the slowing down of time that you described so well in
your article. Thank you.
not visible at all now. Eclipsed? Hidden behind dark clouds? The moon doesn't
set until 7:43 am, so there's still a possibility... In meditating, the half
hour passed in an instant and yet ever so slowly with gaps of no sense of time
at all.
eclipse/meditation experience - and I've been to Port Angeles - its a very
beautiful part of the world....Best, Allan

Reality Check: Feingold, Johnson Ads Spar Over Gov. Bond
Ad Claims Johnson's Company Received Government Payment
MADISON, Wis. - WISC-TV's We the People Wisconsin Fact Finder reports continue with a look at a battle over TV news coverage.
There are two central questions to the battle of the words between U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold and Republican challenger Ron Johnson.
First, does the bond that Johnson's company received constitute a government payment? Second, is Feingold's characterization of the issue in a 30-second TV ad misleading?
"I have never lobbied for some special treatment or for a government payment," said Johnson in television coverage by a Madison TV station. The clip was used by Feingold in an ad that strings together clips from the station's coverage, asserting Johnson got "government aid," or a "government payment."
A WISC-TV analysis found this needs clarification.
News coverage in the ad shows Johnson's company Pacur got $4 million in "government loans" in the 1980s.
WISC-TV's partners at Wisconsin Public Television found that these industrial development bonds are issued by local governments then sold to a private bank. It's essentially a special low-interest loan, paid back by the business, where rates can beat a loan the same business might get just going through a bank.
In this case, a Fact Finder analysis shows Johnson saved more than $350,000 over the life of the loan by doing it this way. Is that a government payment?
"They're not a direct payment like sending a check to a business or a farmer," said Gary Green, a University of Wisconsin Extension economic development specialist. "They're an indirect subsidy in that they're a loss of revenue to the federal government and in some cases, state government, and that transfer of resources is considered in all cases, a subsidy."
Then there's Johnson's response ad.
"This newscaster's station says Feingold took their report out of context and that its just plain wrong," says the announcer in Johnson's ad. "The Associated Press says Feingold's ad is misleading and Ron Johnson's loans came from private investors."
WISC-TV also found this claim misleading.
The TV station did say Feingold took the report out of context, but instead said Feingold using the footage without permission was "just plain wrong."
Then the ad uses two separate Associated Press stories, making them seem like one. The one in the back that's being crossed out in the ad was once again news coverage reporting on Johnson's loans. The pulled quote in front is from a recent analysis of Feingold's ad, which said the references to government aid were misleading.
As mentioned in Feingold's ad, Johnson's company also got $75,000 to help build a rail spur, and that was a federal grant. But Johnson said that happened before he joined the company.

Skip to comments.Madrassas Are Emptying for Final US Fighting Season in Afghanistan
Posted on 07/20/2013 7:21:43 AM PDT by kristinn
COMBAT OUTPOST WILDERNESS, Afghanistan The Taliban and its allies are plotting a bloody and spectacular end to U.S. involvement in Afghanistan.
Foreign fighters are pouring into the eastern part of the country to take on U.S. and allied forces in what will likely be the final fighting season for American troops here.
Pakistani-based terror groups like the Haqqani Network and others are calling upon every house, every family to send fighters into Afghanistan, Afghan army commanders stationed at the American base in Paktia province told The Hill.
The madrassas are emptying" in Pakistan, added Lt. Col. David Hamann, who leads the American Security Force Assistance Advisory Team (SFAAT) at Combat Outpost Matun Hill.
The influx of foreign insurgents ahead of the White Houses 2014 troop withdrawal deadline comes just as the administration is facing mounting public pressure to end the war quickly.
The administration is struggling to decide whether to leave any troops behind after 2014, and has revived the zero option postwar plan that would leave no troops in the country post-2014.
The offensive by terrorist groups in a fighting season that continues until snows fill mountain passes this fall suggests they hope to take back the country as swiftly as possible, and will not waste any time waiting for the U.S. to leave.
It also suggests terrorists want to impose as much pain as they can on the U.S. in the months remaining.
While there is always an influx of foreign fighters as part of the annual fighting season, this year looks different, according to Lt. Col. Mohammad Ebrahim, commander of the Afghan army's 6th Kandak.
Pakistani militants in North and South Waziristan are ordering every family in those regions to send all fighting-age males into Afghanistan.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Pray for our troops and their families. And pray for a country that would do such a thing to them.
nuke 'em and leave.
Fly, meet fly paper.
And why wouldn't they do this. They know the game is over after this in any case. If Obama had honor, he'd call off any more fighting now, before he puts our troops in senseless danger.
The Biblical phrase, "Delivered in the hands of the enemy", really has been resonating for the last several years.
I don't think so. The Commies, for the most part, had the sense to wait until U.S. troops had gone home lest they provoke a backlash.
The Islamonazis want to kill as many of us as possible before we withdraw and fear no backlash from this sorry excuse of a president.
While the US troops will be at greater risk, they will also have great opportunity. I am glad that the madrassas' are emptying and that AQ and its affiliates are encouraging every fanatic to converge on AFG. Why, you ask? Because killing them there is and always will be easier and preferable to them living and eventually coming to our and other western nations' shores.
Just as in IRQ, we will respond with great precision and lethality as masses (albeit not in the sense of WWII or Korea masses) of enemy make themselves available to our targeting and weapon systems. Hoorah!
All this said, I know there will cost, cost of blood and futures of more of our young treasures. That makes me sad.
But a sadder day would be when these (otherwise terminal) criminals would be found on our shores, in our towns and in our streets, with vile intent; hiding behind our sacred liberties.
So, yes; kill them there.
Then leave, with eyes on; and isolate AFG for the social, moral, political and religious crap hole it is and always will be as long as the rule of representative law is absent.
This regional example should make us all think hard about our involvement in our own political process; the rule of man vice law is becoming more and more apparent as we can readily see in the news most everyday. We should never become a nation of political conformists; rather we must always stand for individual and thereby collective liberties.
10-4 ... should have from the start and held onto our Men and Women. The message sent was one of weakness.
Afghanistan has seen Soviets come and go... who would/could have thunk that the US would come, but then go more like the Soviets did?
Our dear leader has no understanding of'Honor'.
Some would equate obligation to party, bit 0 knows that is just for the proles.
Actually the Dems want this to end badly. Then the new rally cry will be, "Remember Afghanistan", and not Remember Vietnam.
Amen. Burn the opium, salt the fields, and GTFO.
Manly Warrior - well said. Gather the hot heads to the rat bait and kill them there.
"isolate AFG for the social, moral, political and religious crap hole it is"
I haven't heard anything about the opium trade and industry there since Bush was in the WH.
Manly Warrior - well said. Gather the hot heads to the rat bait and kill them there.
My full agreement but the truth is the politicians want conflict and strife. Is good for the money business.
Will be the battle of ever more till a leader comes to say never more.
>>Is good for the money business.
Conflict, Strife, and Hopelessness have naturally fed the narcotics industry throughout human history.
The Appetite of Tyranny is never far removed fro the Tyranny of the Appetite.
I agree, and for the same reasons. They'll be drunk on "Allah has granted us victory!" nonsense and boastfully, proudly march right into our sights.
Once Obama told his muslim pals the date of our impending and surrender and departure any further loss of American lives became a travesty.
It is a sad thing to say, but this generation of brave men and women will have to learn to live with the dark cloud of betrayal by our government, much as our veterans from the Vietnam era do.
But in this case it might even be worse because we have an absolute traitor as Commander In Chief - a man who has come out of the closet and is clearly supporting the advance of the militant muslims while he engineers the weakening and decline of our country.
May God save us all because our own leaders are now the true enemy of America.
That's what my Infantry PL son told me, and I am scared to death.
He'll be there till September.
Please keep him in you prayers along with the rest of our brave men and women.
Obama has betrayed 12 years of our armed forces' blood and sacrifice so he can hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban which ruled there before the 9//11 attacks.
I doubt we'd ever "win" there, no matter who runs the war.
We'll leave, for whatever reason, and they'll go back to the way they've been living for the last thousand years.
Will do.
Afghanistan has seen everybody come and go at one time. Nobody ever learns the lesson. After we leave they will go back to killing and raping each other with great abandonment. Its who they are.
I believe this "final push" scenario on the part of the jihadis has been predicted many times by almost any sensible observer, once the prospect of a final US pullout was confirmed.
Won't matter a whit. We can kill a few thousand extra but there will be tens of millions available to take their place. And a year from now, we'll be gone.
Pray for our warrior heroes who have been given ROE-shackles to fight a war.
The father of my grandchildren was deployed to Afghanistan on 05JUL2013 for a year.
Let's go back to 1975, when Saigon fell. Gerald Ford was president. Should Ford be blamed for losing Vietnam? After all, there was talk at the time of using massive B52 strikes to slow down the NVA advance.
But Ford declined. The Congress and the country just didn't have the stomach for it. And Saigon fell.
So did Ford lose Vietnam? Most folks would say no. The blame goes to LBJ. It was LBJ who made the lion's share of bad decisions that led to that disaster.
The same goes with Afghanistan. Obama will probably preside over the fall of Kabul. Or it might happen under is successor.
Either way, the LBJ equivalent for Afghanistan is not Obama. It's Bush. And that's a hard thing to say.
Definitely, but it'll take the wind out of their sails for a while. Unless we pursue full-on genocide, we'll never truly be rid of the threat, so we have to take the victories as they come.
LBJ was going to implement a surge in Vietnam, but then gave into political pressure and caved, sending in far fewer men than those in field command thought necessary.
In contrast, President Bush committed to a surge and his successor, President Obama, is the one who decided to send far fewer than those in field command thought necessary - and he was able to do this easily because the press ran interference for him.
Nothing new.Recall the Copperheads
They claim to be pacifist, more like malingers.
I can proudly say 'I served in VN with a pacifist infantryman'! He did all that was ask except chambering a round! He would calmly say that he would NEVER kill or injure, ever.
He walked the walk. Was converted into a cook MOS.
Helicopter on the roof pic coming right up.
[I havent heard anything about the opium trade and industry there since Bush was in the WH.]
Not surprising given the pr tectin it's been given.

Instead the focus includes institution building with the hope that by strengthening democratic governments abroad, [it] will foster law-abiding behavior and promote legitimate economic opportunity.
April 1994
Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the Seattle-based alternative rock band, Nirvana, dies of heroin-related suicide.
The Golden Triangle region of Southeast Asia is now the leader in opium production, yielding 2,500 tons annually. According to U.S. drug experts, there are new drug trafficking routes from Burma through Laos, to southern China, Cambodia and Vietnam.
January 1996
Khun Sa, one of Shan states most powerful drug warlords, surrenders to SLORC. The U.S. is suspicious and fears that this agreement between the ruling junta regime and Khun Sa includes a deal allowing the opium king to retain control of his opium trade but in exchange end his 30-year-old revolutionary war against the government.
November 1996
International drug trafficking organizations, including China, Nigeria, Colombia and Mexico are said to be aggressively marketing heroin in the United States and Europe.

In a surprise move, redouble our forces and block the escape routes to Pakistan. We can undo Bush's failure at Tora Bora.
Perhaps someone can write a song called Tora Bora Ding Dong a Whack Bam Boom.
Obama lowered the sea levels in Afghanistan. What did Bush do?
I hear you, and you do make a good point.
But why was an Afghan surge even necessary in 2008? The war should have been over long before then. That's on Bush.
"in what will likely be the final fighting season,,,"
So much wrong, in one statement. Starting with fighting should happen when, where, and how WE decide. We are murdering our soldiers with incompetent leaders.
They've already got their guy in our white house. Not to mention congress and cabinet positions.
It should have been. President Bush was more focused on high-intensity Iraq than low-intensity Afghanistan. That will weigh on his legacy.
What strikes me as especially silly is all the efforts directed toward reducing supply.
And comparatively little done toward reducing demand.
Bush 'declared victory' (quit while ahead) and left A'stan, for the most part. But intense pressure to get out of Iraq and go back to fighting the 'good war' in A'stan, under impossible ROI, ensured it would become the mess it has.
Unless we are willing to radically change the ROI, we will not eliminate enough madrassa cannon fodder to keep our men there one more day. (Even if we do open up ROI it may not be worth staying one more day.)
We should have left Afghanistan the second Bin Laden assumed room temp.
>>Great timeline!
Yeah, sometimes PBS almost gets their collective cranium extracted from the Southern end of their digestive tract almost far enough for them to see daylight.
>>What strikes me as especially silly
Supply + Demand = What?
Exactly the same reason the Petrocrats fund environmentalist groups, BTW.
He said so. HIS own display proves it LONG, long ago.

I've also tried to buffer the signal,
TLC's are made for daisy chaining so you would expect that there are ways to link a great many
The library uses pin 13 for the clock signal,
can it be that the led and resistor on this pin have an influence,
However how farther down the chain i measure how larger the amplitude becomes (which i think is strange).
with 6, 5 will work, but with 12, 8 or 9 will work.

It's the spring soccer season and games started in Emery County the week of April 19. Troy Winter is the organizer for the soccer league which runs under the direction of the Emery County Recreation District. Winter said, "This year the signups have doubled. We have 243 players in four age groups. There are second-third graders, fourth-sixth grade, junior high age and pre-kindergarten through first grade. The soccer players will have the opportunity to attend the REAL Salt Lake soccer game on May 7. We have many local soccer players who have purchased the discount tickets to attend the game."
The soccer fields in the county are at the Aquatic Center park in Castle Dale, Cleveland and Ferron elementaries, Orangeville church, Lion's Park in Huntington, and the Welcome Park in Orangeville.
Coaches for the league include: Carey Archibald, Troy Winter, Kason Merrell and Amber Pittman for the fourth-sixth grades. The junior high age group coaches include Natalie Gardner, Jim Greenan, Tim Lacock and Brian Dawes. Pre-kindergarten -first grade include Marie Rogers, Jennifer Parkin, Tammy Funk, Errol Durrant, Lucile Robinson, Jim Rushton and Steven Stoker. The second-third grade coaches are Tina Service, Jenni Jensen and Tasha Wagoner.
Soccer has grown in popularity over the years in Emery County. The sport has bounced around between fall and spring, but now it will be played in the spring. It is the goal of the soccer program to eventually have a high school soccer team.
In soccer the goalee is the only one who can touch the ball with his hands as the goalee can grab the ball once it enters the goalee box and the ball is kicked away either by placing it on the corner of the goalee box or a drop kick.
These Emery County players are learning the rules along the way as they have fun running up and down the field kicking and passing the soccer ball. Their ultimate achievement is in kicking a goal. Soccer games are usually low scoring events where tough defense by a team and goalee keeps the ball out of the goal.
Soccer has been played since ancient times and is especially popular in Europe and South American countries. Soccer is gaining popularity in the United States and in Utah with the professional soccer team REAL Salt Lake locating here has really increased interest and REAL Salt Lake won the championship two seasons ago. The soccer team traveled the state with their trophy as they brought recognition to their sport. The team even stopped in Castle Dale to show-off their trophy and they presented programs at Castle Dale Elementary and Emery High.

Deborah Phipps, conservator, Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service (NMAS)
- This is the latest in a series of posts about the unfolding of the Norwich shroud, a joint project between the British Museum and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
It was with excitement and a hint of trepidation that we approached the unfolding of the shroud… what would we find, and how difficult would it be?
On the first day we had the combined team of British Museum conservators Monique Pullan and Nicole Rode, student intern Melanie Plottu and NMAS conservators Jonathan Clark, Man-Yee Liu and myself present. We would need several pairs of careful hands to support the fragile textile as it revealed its secrets.
Earlier in the process we had discussed the ethics of opening the shroud as we did not want to remove any important evidence during the process of unfolding. We were happy to go ahead as the anomalous cotton thread described in the previous post assured us that the shroud had indeed been opened since its removal from the tomb.
We also had a light-hearted competition – how big would the unfolded shroud be? At 1250 by 2300mm Monique Pullan was the closest, but of course British Museum staff have the advantage over the Norwich conservators here, having worked on similar objects before.
In the previous week, the British Museum conservators had built a large tent out of plastic tubes and sheeting. We placed the shroud inside and, using two ultrasonic humidifiers, raised the relative humidity to about 65% to relax the potentially brittle fibres of the shroud before we started to flex them. This would hopefully minimize any stress and possible damage caused during the process.
Although mostly complete, the top layer was deceptive – numerous loose and broken threads and holes meant there were many tangled areas and progress was slow as these were unravelled. The shroud was allowed to relax and adjust after each movement and we were pleased to find that it was still fairly soft and flexible, albeit very fragile.
After the shroud was partially unrolled, we could see it had been folded several times length ways – but it needed time to relax and settle before we continued. A day of sitting in the humidity tent was followed by unfolding the rest carefully and slowly.
After three days of careful work the shroud finally revealed itself to us. It was a roughly square fragment, approx. 140 by 160cm, completely covered with columns of black and red hieroglyphs.
The more we looked the more we saw, and it was exciting to pick out scarab beetles and birds, and even a cartouche! It looked indeed like a Book of the Dead shroud, but we would have to wait for curatorial expertise to decipher the text and tell us more.
The next period of treatment was the localised humidification of the tangled areas and slow realignment of the grain of the fabric to flatten out the shroud and make the text easier to read. We used small acrylic weights to help ease out the creases.
It was pleasing to see that Monique's experience and the team's delicate work had paid off – the small fragments that had been hanging from the shroud by mere single threads were still attached and unbroken.
As the shroud became less creased, we were able to pick out clues other than the text that will contribute to our understanding of the its context. The torn and misaligned edges of the shroud appear somewhat darker than intact areas, suggesting they may be stained with body fluids, a common feature seen on burial shrouds. These could be the edges of areas that had more direct contact with the body, and therefore degraded much more quickly.
Also, one edge is straight and almost neat – it appears to have been cut or ripped along a weft thread. Was this the edge of the shroud where it was taken off the loom, or the tear of an unscrupulous dealer dividing it up to increase sales?
Unfortunately, the staff from Norwich had to return home while the others continued with the process. But we will all meet again after the curators from the British Museum and Norwich Castle have examined the shroud and text to consider the next stage of the treatment.

"I ordered two pairs of these sandals( blue and red) unfortunately I wasn't completely satisfied with the product. The red pair that I received by mail were not manufactured with care... poorly made. I ended up only keeping the blue pair because they came out ok. I basically had to clean them so they were decent enough to wear and cut off a couple of flyaways of material that came with the sandal.However, the sandals are comfortable and pretty especially the blue ones. So, if you are willing to take the risk of getting a well manufactured pair or not, it is up to you."

Tom, some people like to relax by working in the garden or call themselves a do-it-yourself type and like fixing projects around the house. We all know you like to cook. Asking my previous unanswered question a different way, what type of productive things do you enjoy? Which ones are you like "no way" and find it best you have someone else take care of?
I'm like Homer Simpson when it comes to home handyman work. I suck at it in a big, huge, awful way. Since I live in Arizona, 'gardening' is a little different here, but I pretty much suck at it too. Car care, home repair, lawn care, all that typical American man stuff, it doesn't interest me, so I suck at it. Or I suck at it, so it doesn't interest me. So yeah, I pay to have others do it for me.
When I saw your were the sucker of the week I thought of a million questions, but now all I got is if you could live forever anywhere where would you go?
If I had an infinite supply of money I would live in Manhattan.
You are my superstar.
If you could change the color of your bedroom what would it be?
What is it now?

I hate school recitals and that stuff. Choir, band, etc etc. I go (& still do - younger daugher plays trombone in the HS band) but if it's one of those poorly organized, late starting, pointlessly dragging on forever things, I might get a little cranky.
I was confused by that as well.
"Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" is a rock song by Neil Young. Combined with its acoustic counterpart "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)", it bookends Young's successful 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps. Inspired by proto-new wave group Devo, the rise of punk and what Young viewed as his own growing irrelevance, the song today crosses generations, inspiring admirers from punk to grunge and significantly revitalizing Young's then-faltering career. The song is about the alternatives of continuing to produce similar music ("to rust" or in "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" "to fade away") or to burn out, as John Lydon of the Sex Pistols might be considered to have done by abandoning his Johnny Rotten persona.
A part of a lyric from the song, "it's better to burn out than to fade away," became infamous in modern rock after being quoted in Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's suicide note. Young later said that he was so shaken that he dedicated his 1994 album Sleeps with Angels to Cobain. Because of Cobain's suicide, in live concerts he now emphasizes the line "once you're gone you can't come back".

Beatles or Elvis?
Yeah so I thought I'd made the Neil Young connection obvious already, Ron.
Do you have any advice on how to get your kids up in the morning? (or is that your wife's work?). I'm actually having a problem with that, and I can't see bribing them every day until they're 18.

Yeah. Bribes seem to work better. Threats just make them damn grumpy.

He's referencing this scene in a movie based on a Nick Hornby novel.
Tom nailed the answer the way it was asked however.
Tom, favorite movie adapted from a novel?

Wow, 12 step meetings at Coachella, who knew? SOBERCHELLA.COM
I'm a reasonable male, get off my case....
Earlier, you asked me why I seem so cranky. You're providing your own answer.
But I'm going to narrow your question down to: my favorite movie adapted from a novel where I actually read the book first before the movie was produced. High Fidelity actually falls into that category, and I like that movie a lot, for what it is. I also really liked the TV miniseries made from Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, I thought they did about as good a job as could be done with that. But I'm going to go with No Country for Old Men, because that's a rare case where the movie is even better than the book (and the book was pretty good).
Tom...what is color when black is burning?
