When did you get your first computer and what kind was it?
an Apple II E, circa 1980's.
Lode Runner was the best!ReplyCancel
In college. A piece of shit Dell laptop whose keyboard stopped working a month after I got it and then had some scary scratching noise if I left it on for more than 3 hours. The idiot tech guy told me it was just the fan. Fucking moron. Sold it it to buy a bus ticket to get the hell out of my hometown.ReplyCancel
An Atari 800 back in the 80s.ReplyCancel
Back in the early Nineties I lived with my boyfriend that was a total tech nerd. He bought some super nice computer and one of the first versions of Windows. I remember how hard it was for him to install, lol. Don't remember what brand it was though. I didn't really use it.ReplyCancel
My first "real" computer was an 8088 PC clone with a whopping 10mb hard drive.
The whole setup cost me over 2k and this was back in 1989.
In October 2001. Wasn't bad. It was an A-Open computer with 128 Mb ram and 60 Gig hard drive. LOL. I know, right? Gimme a break. It was 2001. Cost $1200. Still works too. Threw out the mammoth clunky 17' monitor though.ReplyCancel
'twas 1986 and I got myself an Atari ST with 512MB RAM and no hard disk, only a floppy drive. the monitor was monochrom amber and there was a needle printer. later I inserted a 10GB harddisk and replaced the grafic card to a CGA. and in 1988 I changed to DR DOS. Even though the maker was Atari, it was a PC.ReplyCancel
I have, sadly, never owned a computer. I do have a smartphone. I really would like to get a laptop or tablet device. My 8 year old daughter I feel is falling behind her classmated by not having one readily available. We do use the ones at the public library, if we can get in and it's only for 1hour a day.
If there is anyone out there that is getting a new sevice this Christmas and would be willing to part with, donate, or sell me your used one at a reasonable price, please consider me and my daughter. Even if it is used and is a little old it would be solid gold to us.
Thank you!
My very first computer was in the early 1990s (mid-college). It was a suitcase-sized portable (it's a laugh to call it a 'laptop') that I don't even think had Windows on it. DOS only. It had WordPerfect on it and I was happy.
Then I had another DOS PC (my computer supplier / advisor at the time really had a thing against a GUI) until I got a Mac Quadra at work, in about 1994. Have had a Mac ever since. (No, am not rabid Apple evangelist 🙂 )ReplyCancel
My first computer was a Vic-20, which I got at Canadian Tire, in the early 1980s.ReplyCancel
1994, an Apple (don't remember model, though). I had it in storage forever, and just last month took it to a recycle fair… So sad, I was so thrilled when I first got it! I've since owned and used only Apples at home or work since (graphics field).ReplyCancel
1989, I think, a no-brand 486 with 84 mb of RAM and an 80 MB harddisk. Cost 2000 guilders at that time which I had earned at my internship in Germany. I mostly used it for college, to write reports (in WordPerfect, tee hee), but had a few games: Dune (which I loved) and some sort of adventure game which I got stuck in about a third of the way through (and no Interweb cheats…) and a pinball machine game which I played quite a lot as well.ReplyCancel
Ohh dial up. The original dubstep.
"eeeeehhh errrrrr jadfjashjadsfadsfjafsjsfkjadsfsfjhdsjhadssdf dodungdodung eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekk"
It was like there were tiny aliens living inside your telephone and every time you would pick it up to make a call while someone was on the WWW they would start screeching alien profanities and curses until you put the phone back down.ReplyCancel
got my very first personal desktop for christmas in the 4th grade. My mom was a computer programmer, and she got me a very nice Dell. I was toooo stoked on it.ReplyCancel
I got a Commodore 64 way back in 1981 or 1982. Don't laugh.ReplyCancel
My husband still has one of his first computer's (I don't know which model it is) but it works, and he uses it everyday. We all call it his, Boy's in the Hood computer, LOL.ReplyCancel
Does Pong count?
Oh and then my uncle gave us a Commodore 64 when he moved out of state but my dad never could figure out how to hook it up.
In 1992 I bought an IBM that had the two different discs (and no not CD) in it. DOS only, WordPerfect and Lotus 123. I also buoght myself an ink jet color printer to go with it. The whole set up cost over $4k. Never did learn how to be very good in Lotus 123 but I was the bomb in WordPerfect for DOS.ReplyCancel
1996 – I was in my 40s – got a Dell, don't remember the MB or anything, but I took 3 days off from work so I could teach myself how to use it. It worked great until my house got hit by lightning and never did well after that. (the lightning took out my AC, furnace, garage door opener, cable, 2 phones, a TV and my doorbell not to mention needed new decking in my roof, blew out the side of my ceder sided house and took out 3 trees – thank God for home insurance!) I'm on my 3rd desktop now – a Gateway. Got my 1st smartphone about 6 months ago.ReplyCancel
I got a Dell dude in the 90s. Bought a HP desktop for college that I gave to my mother (which she ruined) when I bought my POS gateway laptop 5 years ago. The main selling point of the laptop was the salesmen described the color as 'spiderman red' Sold!ReplyCancel
@jsierra: Ohh dial up. The original dubstep.
BWAHAHAHA! Used to be able to, at one time, predict the connection speed by the sound it was making…ReplyCancel
1978, the Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor). I still have it on display.ReplyCancel
I was given a Tandy computer.. From radio shack. I was a whiz at creating my own programs, all DOS.math programs at that… And I was awesome at the snake/line game. Ahh. Good times.ReplyCancel
my first computer was called Emachines…never heard of it then and never heard of it now..lolol….shoot people way older than me have probably never heard of it….ReplyCancel
1995. It was an HP with a Pentium 75 in it which was state of the art when I bought it as Pentiums were the next big thing.ReplyCancel
commodore 64 , in the 80's and I played some game called "stampede"….ReplyCancel
OMG, I just commented on the blind item that my PC is too slow. My kids are students, so they got the newer, more powerful computers in the house, and I am stuck with the first one we ever bought. My choice-I use it for a Kindle, to watch movies, and to read CDAN, but I can't load any internet pages with video anymore on it.
I am typing on my husband's laptop. I am getting a new case soon,and we will send my PC to the beach house for movies and books, then we won't have to schlep the laptop every summer.
We bought it 14 years ago. Added RAM, new motherboard, same monitor and processor.ReplyCancel
We're talking of course for personal use. When I was in college in the 70's, we used FORTRAN and punch cards. Tthat experience made me resistant to computer use for most of my career.
I'm an engineer, but I only used the computer as a glorified typewriter for work. I hated CADD, but loved the computer for writing specs. But all my drawings were by hand, TYVM!ReplyCancel
1st PC computer@ work was a used Apple in 1986. It had Word & Excel & used 3 1/2 floppies. It was like 172 kb. I used a Compaq Word Processor until we got our 1st home PC, which was an IBM clone w /Windows. Can't remember the capacity but it was the best money could buy in early 1992. PC, printer & software was about $2300. Also, we had AOL and did dial up on a US Robotics modem. THAT was the greatest thing, ever!ReplyCancel
lc – In my town, Goodwill operates a computer store in addition to their general charity shop. A friend got a really nice Mac system there for about $250. Their PC's were less expensive.
Sometimes you can get really good deals at retail. This time of year, and back to school time are when they have the best sales. A few years ago, there were cheap laptops everywhere, about $300.
You may wanna steer clear of Best Buy, they "optimize" their computers with extra crap or things you can do yourself, then charge you an extra $100.ReplyCancel
The first computer I got for myself was a Mac G5 (desktop model) in 1998.
The first computer I used at work was a Superbrain. Seriously. Had Wordstar on it. I remember having to do *asterisks* beside the words to make them bold. I think you can still do that in Word. Another computer we used was a Hyperion. The thing looked like a little portable tv. It had a handle on it, too.ReplyCancel
OMG I totally forgot about the Commodore 64! Yep, we had that first.ReplyCancel
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was from Canadian Tire — they were the first ones to sell it in my area…
I could be wrong about that though…So long ago.ReplyCancel
Apple IIIc (I think?) and it was around 1995, from a friend of mine, who was downsizing and going to China for research. Served me well for about five years, after which I donated to a local elementary school in Seattle. I think I remembered to take all of the Kate Winslet pics off of it before I did.ReplyCancel
my boyfriend worked for some computer company, was older and traveled a lot. so he gave me a "lap-top". it was about 8 inches thick and 18 inches across. this would have been about 1988. i remember getting on plane with it one time and people thinking it was really something. sadly, my computer knowledge and skills have not improved much since then.ReplyCancel
@lc and my dear friends at Cdan
The laptop we have in our garage is dead! :(. I thought it was a cast away from when my spouse switched to Mac. Does ANYONE (or one of your friends/colleagues) have a laptop they could donate to lc for her daughter's schoolwork? Her story really touched me and I want this to happen. I believe she lives in Washington fyi
maybe the dead laptop just needs a new battery? That's an easy fix.ReplyCancel
Hi Black Cat 🙂
I was hoping it was the battery too, but my husband said it has been given its last rites. Why we still have it is beyond me 🙁
Thanks so much for replying though. I really want to see this happen. I have searched lc's previous comments and read her blog profile – she seems like a wonderful, loving devoted single Mom who could really use someone's help 🙂
My first was a 386 clone in 1984, I was able to take it apart and put it back together again and did all my own upgrades. It cost $2500 LOL
When I discovered the Internet I literally spent an entire week browsing, night and day.
the past couple of purchases I have made for desktops have been at places that sell refurbs and they also buy up a couple hundred corporate PC's that were leased and the customer upgraded to other models. They are not bleeding edge models but faster than what I had currently for $200, some are $150 and lasted 5 years at least before they needed to be upgraded. People are hesitant about buying used stuff but I would never buy brand new anymore for my needs.ReplyCancel
1982 or so. IBM PC. My dad was a computer engineer and worked for them, so I barely remember not having at least one computer.ReplyCancel
Ditto for programming in BASIC. I was writing programs from around 8 years of age.ReplyCancel
OMG, Zork! I still have the maps my mom drew when she played it… fweeep! lol
Also, text-based Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and In Search of the Most Amazing Thing!ReplyCancel

President Barack Obama on January 2 signed into law the "American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012", which includes permanent extensions of certain 2001 and 2003 tax provisions for individuals with incomes below $400,000, and joint filers with incomes below $450,000. For a summary of key individual tax provisions enacted as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, see the January 1, 2013 WNTS Insight - Congress passes fiscal cliff agreement to extend tax rates for incomes below $450,000; deal includes business "tax extenders".
As described below, the new law also includes retroactive extensions through 2013 of certain business and energy tax provisions that had expired.
The renewed business tax provisions include the research credit (with modifications), controlled foreign corporation (CFC) look-through, the exception for active financing income, and certain other provisions that expired at the end of 2011. The legislation also extends through 2013 certain energy tax provisions, and modifies the expiration date for the renewable electricity production tax credit to construction beginning before the end of 2013.
In addition, the new law extends a 50-percent bonus depreciation provision for qualified property through the end of 2013, and decouples bonus depreciation from the Section 460 percentage of completion method of accounting for assets with a depreciable life of seven years or less that are placed in service in 2013. The legislation also allows taxpayers to elect to accelerate some alternative minimum tax credits in lieu of bonus depreciation.

5 Minute Fix For Dirty Hair. Makes The Oil Dissapear And Adds Body.Yes it gives a butt load of body, however I use it as a quick fix for greasy hair when I don't have time to wash, dry, and fix. Bonus, it has a slight grey cast that disappears completely when you rub it in, but still manages to tone down any brassiness in the roots. I bought two cans cause I love it.

It really gives you volume while acting as a dry shampoo. i am happy i found a good spray dry shampoo (Blandi is probably great, but on dark hair, such a pain!). STOCK UP!

The example is not correct.A led needs a constant current.So you can't feed a 12V led with a 12V battery. The current will be a lot too much or a lot too less.I assume that there are specific power supplies for those 12V leds.Normally a led with a resistor is switched on and off.
Zapro, you could be wrong.Led modules often consist of a few leds parallel and serial. Sometimes 16 'leds' are used inside the module with 4 rows and 4 columns. So the result would be 4 leds of 3V is 12V.
Zapros cct is fine ...

With intense styling and an outsole that means business, the Asics Gel Scout delivers rugged trail performance with the fit and cushioning Asics is known for.
Sometimes an intense and rugged trail shoe is needed to handle your most unforgiving trail outings, and the Asics Gel Scout is a shoe that easily fits that bill. Right out of the box we sensed that this shoe can handle the serious stuff, and putting this shoe to the test confirmed its trail prowess.
The outsole is a headlining feature of the Gel-Scout. An aggressive lug pattern gives the shoe excellent traction on rocky and loose surfaces, and our testers didn't experience any problems climbing or descending. The outsole features sticky wet-specific rubber that performs as expected, making stream crossings a breeze. The forefoot rock plate is a welcome addition, providing a bit of added protection against sharp rocks and stone bruising without making the shoe overly stiff.
The fit of the Gel-Scout was on par with what we expect from Asics, and similar to their popular road offerings such as the Cumulus or GT series. Expect a modestly roomy toebox and midfoot that will accommodate most runners. There are minimal seams on the inside of the shoe, limiting friction on the foot and subsequent nagging irritations.
The Gel-Scout features Gel units in the forefoot and the heel just like most shoes in Asics' road lineup. In combination with a more traditional midsole geometry than the more minimal trail shoes, this makes for substantial impact protection for long days on the trail. Our testers noted that the shoe is more than suitable for the miles of road on the way to the trailhead as well.
The traction on the Gel Scout is fantastic. This shoe has handled everything I can throw at it. The grip is especially good in sand and loose, pebbly conditions.
Great shoe on a variety of terrain. Works on hardpack, with enough traction and protection for rocky trails as well.
The fit and ride of the Gel Scout shoe is very similar to an Asics road shoe. This shoe would make for a great crossover for an Asics fan looking to get off the streets.

49% will create sites this year and most will offer free shipping, a survey says.
Amy Dusto
In a survey of 600 small retailers that almost all sell online, nearly half—49%— say they plan to create a new web site this year and 14% say they will start offering free shipping on all purchases, catching up to the 42% reporting that already do.
E-commerce company Alibaba Group of China conducted the survey in December 2012 jointly with two U.S. companies it bought in 2010, Auctiva and Vendio, both of which provide tools for sellers on eBay and other online marketplaces. 97% of the retailers that responded to the survey sell online, 80% are web-only retailers, 85% are based in the United States (with just 21 retailers from outside North America) and 82% had 2012 revenue of $50,000 or less, Alibaba says.
After building new e-commerce sites, the respondents' next most popular plans for expansion in 2013 are to import new products (30%), start selling internationally (18%), build a mobile web site (14%) and build a new physical retail location (10%), the survey says. Just 17% of retailers in the survey say they already have a mobile-optimized web site.
Most retailers surveyed plan to make those improvements without extra staff—87% of respondents say they will hire no one this year.
While 46% of the respondents say they expect revenue to grow this year, their top business priority for 2013 is cost-reduction and streamlining business processes, say 78%. For many, Alibaba points out, advertising with Google Inc. represents an important consideration in those costs: 46% of respondents say they aren't sure if they'll pay for Google Shopping ads in 2013, and 38% say they cannot afford to pay for Google Shopping at all—Google started charging last fall for clicks from product placements in the middle of natural search results, those clicks previously were free.
Asked which marketing tactics were effective for them in 2012, 54% cited word of mouth, and 37% selected social media campaigns. Retailers could select multiple options.
Of the 41% of respondents who say they will sell internationally in 2013, 29% say their top choice is the United Kingdom, followed by China and Brazil, cited by 15% of respondents, and India and Russia, each cited by 11%.
Turning to political questions, 70% of respondents say taxes are their biggest concern in 2013, followed by government regulation (50%) and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare (36%).

Wished they had smaller size!
"I was in the market for a unique tall brown boot. The finish on these made them amazing but they were just to loose for my narrow foot specifically in the front. Had to take them back (girls at the store were loving them and I would be surprised if someone did not snatch them up that day!)."

Classic comfort
"I just got these today and so far so comfy! I ordered 9.5 which is my true size. My foot is a bit narrow and they are great because there isn't a lot of floppy room in the foot area I usually get with boots. There is a bit of room around my calf which I love as normally I am swimming in the calves - if you have large calves these are NOT for you. I haven't tried them on with my Jeans yet (just bare legs and shorts...like I say, they just arrived). The color is a bit different...not quite brown, not quite taupe...a nut color maybe. Can't do 5 stars until I see them in the day light. I do like that they are simple...no unnessecary buckles, ties, etc. They are quite tall though. I am 5'10 and they come up to about 1 inch below my knee...not sure if I like that."

AFRICOM's Dilemma: The "Global War on Terrorism" "Capacity Building," Humanitarianism, and the Future of U.S. Security Policy in Africa
November 21, 2007
Authored by Mr. Robert G. Berschinski.
Africa is quickly emerging as a region of strategic importance. United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) is charged with strengthening stability and security on the continent. The author argues that recent U.S. military operations in Africa have not bolstered U.S. interests, and should be reevaluated as AFRICOM reaches full operating capability.

Col. Robert T. Dunton spoke to the Emery County Commission to provide information on the plans by U.S. Special Forces to conduct training in Emery County this coming June. The special forces aren't getting the quality of training they need given the limited scope of support available on military installations, at least, not without great expense for this exercise scenario, the soldiers will be providing training and assistance to an organized force trying to liberate itself from under an oppressive or imposed regime.
The French Resistance during WWII would be a historic example the exercise is patterned after. Training usually takes place on Department of the Defense managed lands and the more hazardous, kinetic events still will. But, recent Department of Defense Directive means the need for more non-kinetic training has expanded the scope of where training might take place. Several evaluations have taken place and it was determined Utah is a great place for training and Emery and Carbon counties in particular with the vast areas of public lands and a largely supportive populace. It was also asked of communities if they would be interested in hosting additional training exercises for other U.S. Military units, not just Special Forces.
This June, the Special Forces A team coming to this area will consist of no more than 12 men. They will work with a 10 man ' guerrilla force' comprised of U.S. Military personnel in role as a guerrilla force. The leadership for this force has requested U.S. assistance in support of their cause. They want to work with the local populations to help develop their skill sets in dealing with county and civic leaders, civilians, civil engineers and doctors when they are called into a foreign country. The forces will enter Emery County just as if they were entering a hostile environment. They will parachute into southern Emery County and make their way across private land (BLM and USFS) into Carbon County. They will have weapons with them, but will carry only blank ammunition for the exercise. Col. Dunton said he has been working with Emery County Sheriff's Capt. Kyle Ekker. At no time will private property be accessed without per approved written consent by the property owners.
The Special Forces will be supported by additional personnel from their unit numbering about 15 personnel who will keep the scenario moving on schedule and supported. These soldiers in support will also play the role of the 'bad guys' on the targets.
Local volunteers or groups are needed to help in the scenarios as they role play people willing to support the guerillas. These include drivers with trucks and fifth-wheel trailers; property owners willing to host a meeting in a barn or basement etc. If you would like to be a driver, you will be reimbursed for fuel expenses. The forces will not bring any food or rations with them. They will depend on the locals for these items but, as with the fuel for the drivers, these costs will be reimbursed.
Col. Dunton said when they presented the idea in other counties they had some concerns as to how their citizens would react. Col. Dunton said the soldiers will not interfere with the locals in anyway. Any contact with locals will be prearranged. Most of the soldiers will not be in uniform, although they will have one uniformed person in each group to serve as an observer controller or referee. They will be stationed in a guerrilla base and most of their activities should not be apparent to the public. A briefing will be given each day to law enforcement points of contact.
Targets will include the local radio towers and abandoned railroad infrastructure. The forces will also train with live ammunition for one afternoon but only while they are practicing at the North Springs shooting range. The remainder of the training will be done with blanks.
An open house will be held on April 2 at the Price Armory from 6-8 p.m. to discuss the scenario and the training event.
There will be no door to door contact with any of the local citizens as part of the exercise scenario. There will be no surveillance collection on U.S. Citizens. The only exception to this is what is defined in the scenario script with persons acting 'in role' and nothing will be stored after the exercise. The scenario will end on Department of the Defense ground near Green River. The training event will take place June 4-18. After the event the team will have a lunch with any interested public and the participants in the training. The Utah National Guard may be involved as opposition forces to the Special Forces unit. "We feel this is exciting training. We are looking for folks to help and participate. If you would like to help we encourage you to come to the open house." said Col. Dunton.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he was glad the forces are going to train in Emery County. "It's a great area for training and we appreciate you coming to explain what's happening."
Col. Dunton explained that Utah is unique because it was founded with a religious background that can present some 'cultural norms' unfamiliar or unique so as to cause the soldiers to adjust their points of view in order to complete the mission; similar to what the forces might encounter in other countries.

It's another Football Sunday, and things are getting very interesting for our hometown teams, which means I've got a lot to say.
And what better place to begin than with your J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!
Great win Thursday night, all you Jets fans. Great win. Huge win. Team is looking solid. A subway Super Bowl is in the works.
And here I am, egg on my face, right? Remember? Remember back in the summer, I ran through the Jets sked, and showed how terrible they would be, and then everyone had a great time pointing out I was going through the 2007 schedule? And then I apologized, and went through the 2008 schedule and pointed out how this team would finish 8-8?
Egg on my face, right?
Wrong-o, Favre-o.
According to my column dated Aug. 15 you could look it up I had Gang Green sitting at 7-3 at this point in the season. In other words, so far, so good.
Now, I will admit the team is looking livelier than I had imagined in the heat of training camp. Favre, for the first time in his life, seems to playing within his abilities and not trying to break his own record for "most wildly inappropriate passes, season."
Add in what's become a fearsome defense, and this is a team to be reckoned with. Right?
Well, let's go back and see what I had to say about the Jets remaining schedule back in August. Again, you could look it up at www.trentonian.com in case you think I'm fibbing.
Week 12: At Tennessee, where they are simply outmatched.
Week 13: Broncos at home, and remember, Brett Favre does not play well in the cold. Jay Cutler does. Broncos take this one in OT.
Week 14: At San Francisco: San Francisco will be improved, and late-season games for East Coast teams on the West Coast spells trouble, and the Jets fall to 7-6.
Week 15: Bills at home. Cold weather Brett, again.
Week 16: At Seattle. See week 14.
Week 17: Dolphins at home. At least they'll close out with a victory, evening their record at 8-8.
Hmmmph. Not exactly a far-fetched scenario up there, eh? Granted, I doubt they will embark on a five-game losing streak, but the games at Tennessee, San Fran and Seattle would scare me, and I keep telling anyone who will listen that Favre loses his mind in the cold ... 9-7, 10-6, tops. Maybe they backdoor into the playoffs. Maybe.
One team that probably won't be doing any backdooring is the Eagles.
At 5-4, they face a near-impossible climb to the playoffs. Three road games against the Ravens, Giants and Redskins are not going to make the job any easier. So not only would they have to win at least one of those three games, but then they'd have to win out against the Bengals, Cardinals, Browns and Cowboys to finish at 10-6. And even if they do that, they'd still be in a battle against the 'Skins, Bucs, Falcons and maybe Cowboys, Bears or Vikings for two playoff spots.
If I were a Philly fan, I'd just bask in the glow of the Phillies and move on.
And then there's the New York Football Giants. They are clearly Titans aside the best team in the NFL. Tough schedule ahead, but even a 4-3 finish gives them a 12-4 record and home-field advantage throughout.
Go Giants. Back-to-back, anyone?

Sharks fly-half Pat Lambie knocked over seven penalties to give the hosts a 21-17 victory over the Crusaders at Kings Park on Friday.
Sharks fly-half Pat Lambie kicked seven penalties to give the hosts a 21-17 victory over the Crusaders at Kings Park on Friday.
Andy Ellis scored the game's only try for the seven-time champions, who had led for most of the game, thanks also to four penalties from their fly-half Tyler Bleyendaal.
But their number ten missed three kicks at goal in comparison to the accuracy of Springbok back Lambie, which proved the difference in a tight contest at Kings Park.
The win, only a third one over the New Zealand powerhouse in seventeen attempts, kept John Plumtree's men top of the South African conference and third overall.
They started well and were rewarded with a second minute penalty, against Zac Guildford for offside, with Lambie slotting over.
But a fine line-break by Ryan Crotty allowed the visitors to dash in to the home 22 shortly after and, when a maul developed, Tendai Mtawarira came in from the side to hand the Crusaders a penalty, which Bleyendaal knocked over.
Another infringement from the New Zealanders, this time via prop Wyatt Crockett, let Lambie take the hosts to 6-3.
The Crusaders then secured the first try of the game in the nineteenth minute when a powerful run by Robbie Fruean down the left saw him slip the ball wide to Adam Whitelock, who came back inside and offloaded to Ellis to score.
Bleyendaal missed the conversion and a subsequent penalty on the half-hour mark, before finally finding his range again before the break when Marcell Coetzee was offside.
However, a shoulder charge by Fruean after the hooter enabled Lambie to cut the gap to two as the players headed for the dressing room.
The visitors scored the first points of the second half six minutes in when Bleyendaal slotted over from straight in front after a Francois Steyn high tackle.
There was a sustained period of pressure thereafter with Meyer Bosman and Franco van der Merwe both coming close to crossing the whitewash on either corner.
The Sharks finally managed to score points courtesy of two penalties, both 120 seconds apart and both conceded by Crockett.
Lambie landed both before the hour mark as the Sharks retook the lead for the first time since early in the game, before Bleyendaal sent over three more points for the Crusaders when the Sharks forwards failed to roll out of the way.
With eleven minutes to play, the home side won an excellent scrum penalty right in front, allowing Lambie to kick them back into the lead.
And they stayed there after Bleyendaal missed two long-range attempts and the Springbok fly-half added another penalty close to the end to secure a memorable win.

Pens: Lambie 7

How about some more favorites as we approach the holidays??
Holy cow, is it that time already? I really enjoyed last years thread sharing great food ideas. I cooked one of the sweet potatoes recipes and it was great. But I'm terrible at keeping up with recipes, now I don't remember which it was.
All I can say is oyster stuffing with low country oysters:D:D:D
Hope everyone will hurry up and post new recipes. I have a house full of pheasant hunters this weekend that I need to feed. Always like something new!!
Pheasant Stir-Fry
2 T soy sauce
2 T cornstarch
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 T chicken bouillon granules
1 1/3 cups water
1 boneless pheasant breast (about 3/4 pound), cut into strips
2 T vegetable oil, divided
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup each julienned carrots, celery and onion
1 cup frozen snow peas
Hot cooked white or wild rice
1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstartch, ginger and bouillon. Add water; set aside. In a skillet or wok over medium high heat, stir-fry pheasant in 1 T of oil until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
2. Add remaining oil to pan. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots for 2 minutes. Add celery, onion and peas; stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
3. Stir soy sauce mixture and add to the skillet; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Return meat to pan and heat through. Serve over rice. Yield: 4 servings.
Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Layer the following in 9 x 13 pan sprayed with pam:
1 package/box cheese salad croutons
1 pound Jimmy Dean sausage and a medium chopped onion, cooked and drained
1 large green pepper chopped
3-4 cups shredded cheese (I like Fiesta mix or Colby Jack mix)
6 eggs, lightly beaten with 1 ½ cups small curd cottage cheese & 1 can cream of soup (mushrm or celery or chickenyour choice)
Bake covered for 45 at 350°, then 45 min. uncovered or until eggs are set. This can be made the night before and refrigerated, or made and baked immediately.
Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits (easy and good to make with grandkids)
400 degree oven preheated.
Makes 1 dozen biscuits. The key to a fluffy, light biscuit is to have all the ingredients really cold. Room temperature shortening does a poor job of creating the light, airy texture you want , and contributes little in the way of flavor. Cold butter, along with cheddar cheese and garlic powder, add the lightness and flavor you find in the original biscuit.
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
¼ t. baking soda
4 T. cold butter
1 heaping cup grated Cheddar cheese (I use "fancy" shredded cheese--finely
shredded (and frozen) and not the really thick shredded--don't know if that matters or not)
3/4 cup whole milk (I used skim)
1/4 t. garlic powder
Combine Bisquick & baking soda with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a
large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small
chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add Cheddar cheese,
milk and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light
When you take the biscuits out of the oven, brush tops with mixture of:
2 T melted butter
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t. dried parsley flakes
pinch salt (I omitted)
Brush tops until all used up.
Easy Corn Bread (Bob May NAHRA)
1 package Jiffy corn bread mix
1 package Jiffy yellow cake mix
Prepare mixes according to package directions, mixing it all together. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake according to directions until toothpick comes out clean.
Cheezy Potatoes (Kirk Rice NAHRA)
Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour. Dont over bake.
2 lb. package of frozen hashbrowns
Place hashbrowns in 9 x 13 pan that has been greased or sprayed with Pam
¼ cup butter or margarine drizzled over potatoes
Mix together:
1 can cream of soupI like chicken 1 cup sour cream
1 cup cheez whiz
You can add whatever you like to the cheese mixturechopped onions, peppers, garlic, etc.
Taco SoupSpicy and Good! (Fleet Farm magazine)
Brown & drain 1 pound ground beef
& 1 medium onion chopped
Add (do not drain):
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can whole kernel corn
2 cans rotel tomatoes
2 cans tomato soup
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg Ranch dressing mix
Heat thoroughly and serve with taco chips, sour cream and shredded cheese. For thicker soup, use refried beans in place of black beans.
1 pound medium hot sausage Cook sausage until thoroughly done. Remove sausage from pan and drain.
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chopped onions Using some of the sausage fat, brown the mushrooms and onion. Return the sausage to the pan.
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup heavy cream Mix flour and cream together until smooth.
2 1/2 cups chicken broth Add the cream mixture and broth to the meat mixture and cook until thickened.
2 cups cooked wild rice (2/3 cup raw rice will cook up to 2 cups cooked rice)
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
Pinch of oregano, thyme and marjoram
Pour sauce over cooked rice and seasonings. Pour into buttered casserole and top with 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts--can use sliced almonds, pecans, etc. You can put this in a squash and bake it too--makes a neat way to serve it.
Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees (longer if you bake in a squash. this freezes well until you are ready to bake).
MAGNIFICENT MARINADE (Beth/Brad Harman)
Great marinade for steaks, chops, ribs, chicken, wild game
1 ½ cups salad oil
¾ cup soy sauce
½ cup wine vinegar
1/3 cup lemon juice
¼ cup worchestershire sauce
2 TBLs dry ground mustard
2 ½ t. salt
1 TBLs coarsely ground black pepper
2 t. chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves crushed garlic

Queso Grill (Heise)

Original recipe: Cut Monterey Jack cheese into ¼-inch slices and arrange in a 10-inch iron skillet, overlapping slices to cover pan bottom. Top with cheddar cheese. Spoon picante sauce over cheese. Spread refried beans/ black beans into an 8 inch circle over the sauce. Place shrimp over beans.

Not really a TGiving recipe, but a good appetizer.

Skip to comments.Republicans All Alone in Viewing the Economy as in Good Shape
Posted on 03/21/2006 6:35:44 AM PST by pissant
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans continue to resist giving the nation's economy positive ratings, regardless of what so-called "hard" economic indicators may show. Only about a third of Americans rate the current economy as excellent or good and 6 out of 10 say the economy is getting worse, not better. In general, these ratings are slightly worse than earlier this year, although still not as negative as they were early last fall after Hurricane Katrina and the rapid run-up in the price of gasoline. Views of the economy remain highly partisan, with Republicans the most positive, Democrats most negative, and independents somewhere in the middle. Independents in particular have become more negative in their views of the economy this year, and now are much closer to the negative attitudes of Democrats than to the more rosy views of Republicans.
Basic Indicators
Gallup routinely measures two basic indicators of consumer views of the national economy: ratings of current economic conditions, and views as to whether the economy is getting better or getting worse. The trends on both are presented in these graphs:
(Excerpt) Read more at poll.gallup.com ...
Who are they polling? We have the lowest rate of unemployment in years here in Florida. Help wanted signs all over the place. I guess there aren't enough 50k a year starting salaries ofr HS drop outs?
Could it be because most Independents are actually Democrats??
There are five reasons for this:
1. The Media lies.
2. Most people are whiners.
3. The Media lies.
4. The price of a gallon of gas
5. The Media lies.
The facts don't matter to the MSM - it's the same template they use in Iraq: If it's good news for Bush, don't report it. If it's bad news, then report it loud and long. Between now and the midterms they will expand the plan to include making bad news up (not that they don't do some of that already).
The MSM have served there masters well.
I am convinced beyond doubt that the pollsters (most, not all) are cooking their books. Or conversely, only publishing a poll when the news looks bad for GWB. The series of recent CBS polls have been total frauds. But I guess CBS/Fraud is redundant.
push polling.
Is the gallup organization that stupid?
It is really too bad there is no FreeRepulicTV.
Whoever gives them the "right" answer. Gallup lost all credibility years ago.
Or the ones that claim "independent" are anyway. I've been an independent my entire life, and have NEVER been polled.
Not according to Gallup's own poll numbers. That headline's a lie.
and advertisers continue to pay money to them.
and advertisers continue to pay money to them.
Typical scenario:
There's a group think lib that works at the company I do...she just bought a new car, is on the all employee stock option plan, the company is doing great...yada, yada, yada...but...to her "The economy is just terrible under Bush."
She wont listen to the facts, doesnt understand the country has had several quarters of about 3% growth, that the unemployment rate is at 4.8% (pretty much full employment in macro economic terms)...just doesnt care...cuz in her small mind...Bush is evil.
ROFL! That makes the Smokey Back Room here look sane!
Yes. I'd add a sixth: The media lies.
Reason #6: The Media lies. :)
They are certainly trying. They are imploding nonetheless.
Which means people aren't basing their view of the economy on numbers, but on rhetoric. The media wing of the DNC, aka the MSM, is doing their part to help get their people elected.
Bingo. Best War since the Revolution. Best Economy in History. Most popular president ever.....
Yep. A Gallup specialty
I think the Prez will do that today.
Actually, I was thinking about adding "The Media Lies."
As always.
6) The administration's amazing communications ineptitude. Exhibit A is Scott McClellen, but he is just one of the problems.
President Bush: The vision of Reagan, the effectiveness of Carter.
I was told that many, many Americans who are currently incarnated had lives on Atlantis. (I've heard this other places as well.) What I hadn't heard was that both George Bush Sr. & George Bush Jr. were extremely powerful priests on Atlantis, and they were part of the problem that caused Atlantis to sink.
I have a term for women like her, but I'd be banned from using it. It's initials are SC.
if you think your economic condition is not up to snuff, work harder.
And most idiotic dems read the MSM, thinking they get the truth.
Yes they do
There are legit independents .. but more liberals today are signing up as independents
I'd been trying for several months to make it a Googlebomb (so that the next time a smug liberal feels lucky about the term "reality based community", they come face-to-face with the anti-reason, anti-science left) but Google and DU are apparently in cahoots, and now, you can't directly access DU's Astrology, Stupidity and Alternative Moonbattery through a simple Google search.
With the rejoinder: the media is dying.
You should put number 4 in all 5 spots, if the price of gas doesn't fall Republicans will pay for it this year.
The facts don't matter, as long as Joe and Suzy Voter see prices as high as they are it's going to hurt.
That sucks. Just put on a sweater.
(God forbid!)
People think the economy is bad because the cost of necessities is rising faster than the ability to pay for it.
The inflation numbers put out by the government very conveniently do not include the cost of home utilities, fuel or housing.
If not for the rise in petroleum prices, that too would show little inflation. It has a ripple effect. thank GOD we are finally going to build more nuke plants.
If the Iraq war was under the Clinton administration, it would be classed as the most noble effort yet by mankind.
Don't feel alone. Americans in general are pretty ignorant about economics and quite willing to believe the lies of Big Media. I recently read a column by some lib who wrote about the "sluggish" economy. If the unemployment rate was at one percent, the stock market at twenty thousand, everyone owned their own home, and the average annual income was one hundred thousand dollars Big Media would still be talking about a "sluggish" economy...and they will continue to do so while a Republican is president.
Once again the liberal/socialist mantra:
Tell a lie long enough and eventually it will be believed without question.
You have a point. This administration in particular has one of the most poorly run communications offices I've ever seen.
There is also virtually no coordination with Republicans in Congress when trying to get a message out or across.
Sad truth is your are right. Most of the people I know are worried about their personal economy and have ben so for years. It is a mixture of hype and reality. Prices have gone up (see gas), wages are going up slowly if at all for some, taxes are up (come to Houston and find out, the tax cut I got a few years ago has been swallowed up and then some by local taxes, debt is up for many, and many do not think they are secure in their jobs.
How much is truth and how much is hype depends on the person's situation. But most of the people I know are startign to worry and play their cards close to the vest.
Their (Bush Admin) too busy working rather than running a PR campaign that would fail (since Big Media would just step up the lieing to counter it).
As opposed to Billy Bob Clintoon, who never worked as POTUS just managed a PR campaign with the help of Big Media...
So, this administration...just decides to work, and let the chips fall as they may.
No. Here as well.

Not providing any video or audio resources in an online class is tough on your students-you need interactive items for students-it's best if you include a number of yourself discussing / demoing concepts too.

Quizzes! for some of our students quizzes are not seen as a way for improving but as a punishment; Some studies have been done in order to analyse the results of implementing quizzes and according this article positive results were found. For instance, students perform better and they come more preparated to the class.However we have to take into account that good results are detemined by the context you are using this methodology!

Actress Samantha Futerman and sister Anais Bordier are making a documentary of their incredible reunion.
They were born in South Korea in 1987, adopted by different families, separated by the Atlantic and reunited through YouTube a quarter-century later.
Now, DNA tests confirmed what Samantha Futerman, an actress in Los Angeles, and Anais Bordier, a fashion designer living in London, already knew in their bones and faces: They are identical twins who were separated after birth, Good Morning America reported Wednesday.
"It was weird, but I feel like there was a strange calm and comfort as well, and something that I can't really explain," Futerman said of seeing her sister's face for the first time during a Skype chat a year ago. "We talked for three hours."
Bordier, who grew up in France, was alerted to Futerman in February 2013 after friends saw the actress in a YouTube video.
"When I looked at the video, I — it was, like, shocking …," Bordier said. "You can't imagine that you might have a twin sister somewhere that you don't know about."
Adoption documents that Futerman's parents gave her did not identify her birth parents and did not indicate whether she had any brothers or sisters, she told a British newspaper in an interview.
They were born Nov. 19, 1987, in Busan, South Korea, and adopted three months later. Futerman, whose film credits include Memoirs of a Geisha, The Motel and 21 & Over, grew up in Verona, N.J., with two adoptive brothers. Bordier was an only child raised in a Paris suburb.
Bordier reached out to the familiar face on her screen through Facebook, noting the similarities of their personal histories and their physical resemblance.
"When I saw her profile, it was crazy. She looked just like me," Futerman told GMA.
The sisters decided to meet face to face in London. Bordier said she poked Futerman's head to confirm she was real. They met again in Los Angeles, then Manhattan.
Futerman compared the encounters with "that feeling on Christmas when you open up the presents, the one you were asking for, it's that — that pure feeling of joy."
To memorialize their reunion, Futerman turned to Kickstarter to fund a documentary, Twinsters. Only $8,000 to go.
