Comments: 08/06/2012: This jig has great balance and along with the head design hangups are minimized. The "air skirt" gives a nice fall and bloom. Hook looks like a 4/0 and good sized for bigger bass. The only thing that did not impress me was the "J" Lock. With longer trailers, you have to bury the "V" at the end of the keeper in your trailer. While this holds the trailer, it is kind of a clumsy setup. Otherwise, a great jig for flippin' or even pitch and swim.

Love the shoe....
"...but it is not for me. Qupid is one of my favorites... I have several pairs and they are SO comfortable. These, however, are not for my foot. I tend to buy peep toe heels because they are, simply, more comfortable but I ventured out of my comfort bubble and opted for these. They are lovely.... LOVE the way they look. But, my little toes were angry with how crammed they were and it just made for an unpleasant shoe wearing experience. I returned them and went back to what I'm accustomed to.Being a size 10 shoe, maybe it's just too much foot.... perhaps a smaller foot would be perfectly comfortable. If you are used to closed toe shoes, these might work beautifully for you! I have a narrow foot and for sure a wide foot, no matter the size, should probably stay away.Sorry to see them go. They would have made a colorful, fabulous addition to my shoe closet."

Posted on 09/16/2013 6:51:47 PM PDT by servo1969
Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old suspect in Monday's shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, had "secret" clearance and was assigned to start working there as a civilian contractor with a military-issued ID card, his firm's CEO told Reuters.
"He did have a secret clearance. And he did have a CAC (common access card)," said Thomas Hoshko, CEO of "The Experts," which was helping service the Navy, Marine Corps intranet as a subcontractor for a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services contract.
(Excerpt) Read more at ca.news.yahoo.com ...
SECRET clearance, CAC card. Sure. Why not?
Who doesn't these days?
no one thought to check his criminal record?..
I guess that would have been seen as RACIST!
such a world...
I can remember when the kind of mental instability involved with the two gun incidents on his record would have disallowed him for a secret clearance.
The problem now seems to be that our intelligence agencies are no longer working for our country. In fact, they seem to be working against it.
Another failure of the Napolitano led DHS.
Wait until the Obamacare (aka Boehnercare) Navigators are unleashed and have access to records. The Federal government does few things well, and a lot of things BAD.
A secret clearance with a general discharge. I would not have guessed that to be possible.
But, but, but... NSA has pervented two dozen terrorist attacks, doncha know?!
"He did have a secret clearance. And he did have a CAC (common access card)," said Thomas Hoshko, CEO of "The Experts," which was helping service the Navy, Marine Corps intranet as a subcontractor for a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services contract.
The US government can't screen out a psycho with anger issues and a history of gun related arrests but his past is uncovered in a couple of hours by those on the internet. Government = incompetence.
Well think of all those Tea Party attacks they stopped. /s
We seem to have both a contractor and uniformed services problem.
It's like almost to laugh at the idea that government is spying on the whole country. Yes, like Inspector Clouseau they are spying!
This is unbelievable.
I'm speechless.
I was in the shooting at ESL (a defense company in Sunnyvale, Ca) back in 1989. The shooter, Richard Farley, had a top secret clearance. I know he had been fired from the company for stalking one of the employees, but I don't know if his clearance was taken away or not.
Clearances don't give you that much information on people.
It's just really bad if you've gone bankrupt!!
His past of shooting out tires on cars would keep him from a T/S clearance.
Any truth to the rumor that she shouted "Namu Amida Butsu" during the shooting?
This guy was "less than honorably discharged"...and YET he got a security clearance.
WTH is WRONG with our country?????????????
Greta and Jennifer Griffin discussing this now.
This guy was "less than honorably discharged"...and YET he got a security clearance.
WTH is WRONG with our country?????????????
Greta and Jennifer Griffin discussing this now.
he had a little secret and he kept it, i guess that was good enough!
Someone said it was a General Discharge. Aren't there more than one kind of those, IIRC?
Also if they had bothered to check his ID they would have seen that the name on the ID didnt match the face but of course as we all know asking for ID is racist but hey what isnt racist these days
CIA BS is my guess.
How many Americans did he KILL before this?
How much sabotage?
No one in authority seems to care. Ever.
Amazing. What I don't understand, if he had all these things, is why he had to steal somebody else's ID to enter.
Unless possibly the other ID was for a second man who entered with him. There must be some video or something that shows this second person, because they even released a fairly good description of him.
None of this makes any sense.
I think so- but this was a "less than honorable"...though Griffin said dishonorable discharge.
Obama "If a had a son he's look just like Aaron Alexis"
This makes it sound as of he did actually have his own ID.
SSDD Hasan came in with Obama.
How was THIS traitor protected?
Why will there NEVER be accountability?
I just got a Half Staff notification.
"As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on September 16, 2013, at the Washington Navy Yard, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, September 20, 2013."
Do we know yet if it was a senseless act? Seems to me that it was planned out with a definite sense of purpose.
No, it doesn't make any sense.
If he did this out of anger at the Navy authorities for discharging him, or out of some other kind of resentment—as he seems to have done with the tire shooting and the ceiling shooting—then why would he have an accomplice?
Of course, they could have been mistaken about that, as they seem to have been mistaken about just about everything else.
Entry level separation (ELS): uncharacterized[edit source]
Entry level separations, or uncharacterized discharge, are given to individuals who separate prior to completing 180 days of military service, or when discharge action was initiated prior to 180 days of service. This type of discharge does not attempt to characterize service as good or bad.
World War I poster depicting a soldier holding his honorable discharge.
Honorable[edit source]
To receive an honorable discharge, a service member must have received a rating from good to excellent for his or her service. Service members who meet or exceed the required standards of duty performance and personal conduct, and who complete their tours of duty, normally receive honorable discharges. However, one need not complete a term of service to receive an honorable discharge, provided the reason for involuntary discharge is not due to misconduct. For instance, service members rendered physically or psychologically incapable of performing assigned duties normally have their service characterized as honorable, regardless of whether they incurred the condition or disability in the line of duty, provided they otherwise met or exceeded standards. Similarly, service members selected for involuntary discharge due to a Reduction in Force (RIF) typically receive an honorable discharge, assuming their conduct while on active duty met or exceeded standards.
An honorable discharge can, on rare occasions, be granted to a former service member (whose service was characterized as less than honorable) as an act of clemency, should that person display exemplary post-service conduct and show evidence of outstanding post-service achievement in areas such as education and employment.[citation needed]
United States Marines must have a proficiency and conduct rating of 3.0/4.0 or higher to receive an honorable discharge.[6]
General[edit source]
General discharges are given to service members whose performance is satisfactory but is marked by a considerable departure in duty performance and conduct expected of military members. Reasons for such a characterization of service vary, from medical discharges to misconduct, and are utilized by the unit commander as a means to correct unacceptable behavior prior to initiating discharge action (unless the reason is drug abuse, in which case discharge is mandatory). A commander must disclose the reasons for the discharge action in writing to the service member, and must explain reasons for recommending the service be characterized as General (Under Honorable Conditions). The service member is normally required to sign a statement acknowledging receipt and understanding of the notification of pending discharge memorandum. The person is also advised of the right to seek counsel and present supporting statements.
In addition, service members are required to sign documents acknowledging that "substantial prejudice in civilian life" may be encountered under a general discharge.[7] A general discharge may preclude a veteran's participation in the GI Bill, service on veterans' commissions, and other programs for which an honorable discharge is required, but is eligible for VA disability and most other benefits.[8] Illinois prohibits discrimination against a veteran from housing or employment on the basis of unfavorable discharge from military service per the Human Rights Act of 1970;[9] this protection does not apply to dishonorably discharged veterans, as shown below.
Other Than Honorable (OTH)[edit source]
An OTH is the most severe form of administrative discharge. This type of discharge represents a departure from the conduct and performance expected of all military members. OTH discharges are typically given to service members convicted by a civilian court in which a sentence of confinement has been adjudged or in which the conduct leading to the conviction brings discredit upon the service. It can also be given as the result of certain civil hearings, e.g. divorce for adultery. OTH discharges can be accepted in-lieu of court-martial proceedings at the service-member's request; persons facing OTH are guaranteed, by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the right to have their discharge heard by an administrative discharge board, which is similar to a court-martial but is not a public forum.
Recipients of OTH discharges are barred from reenlisting into any component of the Armed Forces (including the reserves), and are normally barred from joining the Army National Guard or Air National Guard.
Clemency Discharge[edit source]
Clemency Discharge established by Presidential Proclamation 4313
By Presidential Proclamation 4313,[10] President Ford created a procedure for those military personnel who resisted against the Vietnam War to receive a Presidential Pardon and have their punitive discharges changed to a Clemency Discharge. It also provided a path for those who left the country to return. If the military personnel fulfilled certain requirements of alternative service, they would also receive a Certificate of Completion from the Selective Service System.
Punitive[edit source]
Bad Conduct (BCD)[edit source]
A Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD) can only be given by a court-martial (either Special or General) as punishment to an enlisted service-member. Bad conduct discharges are often preceded by a period of confinement in a military prison. The discharge itself is not executed until completion of both confinement and the appellate review process.
Virtually all veterans' benefits are forfeited by a Bad Conduct Discharge; BCD recipients are not eligible for VA disability compensation in accordance with 38 CFR 3.12.
Dishonorable[edit source]
A dishonorable discharge (DD) can only be handed down to an enlisted member by a general court-martial. Dishonorable discharges are handed down for what the military considers the most reprehensible conduct. This type of discharge may be rendered only by conviction at a general court-martial for serious offenses (e.g., desertion, sexual assault, murder, etc.) that call for dishonorable discharge as part of the sentence.
With this characterization of service, all veterans' benefits are lost, regardless of any past honorable service, and this type of discharge is regarded as shameful in the military. In many states a dishonorable discharge is deemed the equivalent of a felony conviction, with attendant loss of civil rights.[11] Additionally, US federal law prohibits ownership of firearms by those who have been dishonorably discharged[12] per the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Good grief..watching the presser and it would appear that lesbians now rule every 'orifice' of government now. WTH?
Does anybody in FedGov GAF about what they do?
Well, well—a certified, approved member of the political class.
that's the job of the NSA. At least when they checked on me in the 1960's.
Watch this tribal bitch now about guns. Good Lord.
Hey libs, you created this product, not the gun.
Thanks for finding and posting.
So I'm thinking it was a dishonorable- maybe.
God help us! This FBI lesbo sounds like a robot....lol...like Stepford wives..except lesbians.
And they were of course too busy collecting every keystroke made on every computer keyboard in the entire U.S.A and beyond I guess.
Oh thats right its OBAMA's NSA now isnt it.
You're right. One hates to bring race into this, but does anyone really believe that a white guy with that kind of baggage would have been cleared?
No one in authority seems to be responsible. Ever.
Uhmmm...which one? They ALL sound that way. (Though you probably mean the FBI gal).
The fact that the guy had any ID at all should have raised a flag. Eric Holder says minorities can't get ID....
Komando is your friend.

Posted on 07/06/2008 3:59:22 PM PDT by neverdem
The media have been telling us for years that Saddam had no WMD, so "Bush's War": was based on a "lie." And those who believed Saddam did have WMD or WMD programs were delusional or worse.
"To support the president and to accept that he took the U.S. to war based on mistaken assumptions likely creates substantial cognitive dissonance and leads Bush supporters to suppress awareness of unsettling information about pre-war Iraq."
"Accusations that Saddam had tried to purchase more yellowcake from the African nation of Niger -- and an article by a former U.S. ambassador refuting the claims -- led to a wide-ranging probe into Washington leaks that reached high into the Bush administration."
Google News Results 1 - 10 of about 445 for yellowcake.
Not to pic nits or anything buy it's not being destroyed.
The Iraqi government sold the yellowcake to a Canadian uranium producer, Cameco Corp., in a transaction the official described as worth "tens of millions of dollars." A Cameco spokesman, Lyle Krahn, declined to discuss the price, but said the yellowcake will be processed at facilities in Ontario for use in energy-producing reactors.
We knew, Freepers, just as the world's intelligence communities knew.
Liberals are too expensive to keep. They are a pox upon any free nation's very life.
Well, well...
And stayed tuned because any minute now the MSM will report this.
Anytime now?
It'll never see the light of day in the MSM. No cable news will touch it, not even Fax news.
As everyone knew. All of the yellowcake was a remnant of the pre-1991 Iraq program, which was identified and regularly inspected by the IAEA. There are innumerable pre-Gulf War II press articles and documents mentioning it.
This has nothing to do with Joe Wilson. And had nothing to do with the WMD justification for the war.
The limited reporting is because there's no story here.
The AP seems to have forgotten the name of the former U.S. ambassador, not to mention his uncovert CIA wife, but they certainly couldn't forget that there was a probe into the Bush administration. That's the story for them, not that the probe was begun and perpetuated by lies.
"This is not remarkable news- I believe this material was from Tuwaitha and the stockpile there dated back to the late 1970s when Iraq bought Nigerien yellowcake to produce fuel for its Osirak facility - which Israel destroyed in 1979?
After DESERT STORM The UN had the Tuwaitha stockpile pretty much under its observation, if not outright control.
The controversy with Joe Wilson and Niger was over whether Iraq was planning an additional future yellowcake purchase - this did not occur, but plenty of good reporting indicated the prospects were at least explored by Iraq which would have been necessary to establish a secret fuel materiel stockpile not under UN observation, possibly not even in Iraq but possibly in a country cooperating with Iraq (Libya?)"
Facts don't matter - based solely on our voter registration we're all still insane, and the rehab camps will be open in February of 2009.
Pre-war quotes from "lying" House and Senate democrats...
"In 1998, the United States also changed its underlying policy toward Iraq from containment to regime change and began to examine options to effect such a change, including support for Iraqi opposition leaders within the country and abroad.
In the 4 years since the inspectors, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al-Qaida members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001."
"It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein wiill continue to increase his capability to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East which, as we know all too well, affects American security."

John Kerry: I agree completely with this Administrations goal of a regime change in Iraq Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations in 1991. (July 2002)

John Kerry on the floor of the Senate
October 2002:
"With respect to Saddam Hussein and the threat he presents, we must ask ourselves a simple question:
Why is Saddam Hussein pursuing weapons that most nations have agreed to limit or give up?
Why is Saddam Hussein guilty of breaking his own cease-fire agreement with the international community?
Why is Saddam Hussein attempting to develop nuclear weapons when most nations don't even try, and responsible nations that have them attempt to limit their potential for disaster?
Why did Saddam Hussein threaten and provoke?
Why does he develop missiles that exceed allowable limits?
Why did Saddam Hussein lie and deceive the inspection teams previously?
Why did Saddam Hussein not account for all of the weapons of mass destruction which UNSCOM identified?
Why is he seeking to develop unmanned airborne vehicles for delivery of biological agents?
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), October 9, 2002
Congressional Record Sen. John F. Kerry
The Joint Chiefs should provide Congress with casualty estimates for a war in Iraq as they have done in advance of every past conflict. These estimates should consider Saddam's possible use of chemical or biological weapons against our troops.
Unlike the gulf war, many experts believe Saddam would resort to chemical and biological weapons against our troops in a desperate -attempt to save his regime if he believes he and his regime are ultimately threatened.
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) Oct. 8, 2002
Congressional Record - Sen. Ted Kennedy
John Kerry: I would disagree with John McCain that it's the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it's what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that--that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It's the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." (October 2002)
John Kerry: If You Dont Believe . . . Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldnt vote for me. (January 2003)
John Kerry: Saddam Hussein is a brutal dictator who must be disarmed. (March 2003)
"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal."..."Iraq has continued to seek nuclear weapons and develop its arsenal in defiance of the collective will of the international community, as expressed through the United Nations Security Council. It is violating the terms of the 1991 cease-fire that ended the Gulf war and as many as 16 Security Council resolutions, including 11 resolutions concerning Iraqs efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. John Edwards, October 10, 2002
Congressional Record Sen. John Edwards
"There is no doubt that since that time Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."

1. The oil-for-food program was corrupt
2. The weapons inspections were a farce
3. There are indications that Saddam was co-operating with Qadhafi on programs to develop weapons in Libya
4. US and allied planes were targeted
5. Uninspected flights to Baghdad gutted the sanctions
6. Terrorists were training in Iraq
7. Saddam supported terrorism - paying $25,000 to each family of a suicide bomber and $10,000 to the families of other Palestinians killed in the intifadah.
8. Saddam created the Jerusalem Army [the Jaysh al-Quds] to "liberate" Jerusalem
9. Saddam refused to destroy his Samoud 2 missiles which violated the UN mandate
10. Saddam brutalized our fellow human beings
Saddam was thumbing his nose at decent people as he rewarded his collaborators.
Analysis: Saddam steps up defiance, 1 December, 2000, By BBC Middle East analyst Roger Hardy
I seldom believe the AP. This is a rarity.
'And stayed tuned because any minute now the MSM will report this....'
phew! ....thought I missed the reports on this....I'll stay tuned, but, won't hold my breath...
my first reaction too....so where are the reports on this??
Relatively speaking... anyone know if 550 metric tons of yellowcake enough to seed a nuclear weapon enrichment program?
This particular Yellowcake was all pre-1991.
I just posted this, in full, to Craigslist politics. Let the hippies mull it over...
"This has nothing to do with Joe Wilson. And had nothing to do with the WMD justification for the war."
Yes and no. Remember that the administrations claim was that Saddam had SOUGHT uranium in Africa, not that the purchase had necessarily been made.
The fact is Iraq DID buy yellowcake (lots of it) from Africa pre-1991 (in fact, from NIGER), and when, 10 years later, Saddam sent a trade mission to Niger which included nuclear experts, ...only Wilson, Democrats, and the Jurnilists are stupid enough to believe they went there looking to buy peanuts and goatskins.
Here is another psycho-babble term Mizz Begley should be familiar with.
"This particular Yellowcake was all pre-1991."
Who the hell cares. The article goes on to say that the removal was done in secret given the U.S. "worried that the cache would fall into the hands of insurgents or Shiites hoping to advance Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions".
So Hussein had 550 tons of material that could "also be enriched for use in reactors and, at higher levels, weapons", 550 tons of it, and we are repeatedly told that they had no WMD.
Something really stinks in this whole thing.
Thanks....that's what I keep thinking. If it's all pre-1991 and the same stuff we already knew existed, what's the big hoopdedoo?
Surprisingly- I heard it on ABC Radio News today. No caveats or buts or wriggles. They just reported it. I was listening to Bob Brinker's show, which had some leftoid filling in for Bob, going on about how Congress should tack a huge tax on gasoline, so that we'd all be forced to 'do the right thing' and buy more fuel-efficient cars. Because that's how they do it in Europe you see, the fountain of all that is sweetness and light.
It was really weird to hear sense on the ABC news and nonsense on Brinker's show. The audience *slammed* Brinker's fill-in. :-)
I couldn't care less that the Russian nuclear arsenal and the materials and program were all pre-1991 either, they remain a huge issue for the world to be concerned about. What the hell difference does it make WHEN Hussein first secured this material, the facts are HE HAD IT and he could have used it for a nuclear program. Nice try, pal.
They won't. When you hit them square between the eyes with an irrefutable fact that they don't like, their eyes will briefly become unfocused, they'll stare for a moment, then change the subject and begin shouting. I've seen this in in-person arguments over and over again.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
How about a bit o documentation for your Yellow Cake claims?
IMO this is only the tip of the iceberg re: GD Saddam's ability to constitute WMD...he was a danger when Israel bombed his nuke plant, when he invaded Kuwait, suborned the UN inspections, gassed the Kurds, etc. Commonsense says there is a lot more to this and we will find out one way or another...see Bekaa Valley & Syria.
That's not true. The CIA group that Plame was associated with thought the idea that Hussein was attempting to obtain (more) yellowcake (from Niger) was ridiculous, justified that by arguing that because he already HAD this huge quantity they couldn't see him wanting more.
Has he managed to pay his huge fine yet or has the court just decided to throw him in jail instead?
This batch was pre-1991 (Gulf War round 1). Do keep in mind though, that the U.N. hadn't removed it or allowed anyone else to remove it from Iraq. Keep also in mind that they hadn't made Iraq destroy the special explosives (MDX and RDX) needed to make nuclear weapons that they also had in semi-sealed bunkers (and that they decided to throw a fit about right before the 2004 elections).
Actually, not even Wilson was. He reported back that the Niger GOVERNMENT said they weren't selling...and also that those same government officials who said they weren't selling were concerned about sales from groups within their country not under their control, and further that Iraqi officials were in fact looking.
I heard it too. It was on WABC-AM 77O in NYC at 5PM. I made a comment here.
Check the links from Yahoo and Google News in comment# 1.
Ta Daaa !
Well I guess that would have to apply to our inept Commander In Chief who apparently doesn't have a clue on how to fight a propaganda war.
"Now, look, I didntpart of the reason we went into Iraq wasthe main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didnt, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction. But I also talked about the human suffering in Iraq, and I also talked the need to advance a freedom agenda. And so my questionmy answer to your question is, is thatimagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there, stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world that had so much resentment and so much hatred that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens".
If he wasn't half retarded he would have never said anything remotely like "It turns out they didn't".
The only reason the media have been able to get away with this is because the the administration comes to the propaganda war unarmed.
How do you know that and can you prove it?
I'd be very interested to know what the Strategerist's opinion is of why Ambassador Zawahi, Iraq's representative on nuclear issues (VERY passionate arguing for Iraq's nuclear armament at the 1995 NPT Conference), went to Niger on what the IAEA called a trade mission?
Looking at Niger's only significant exports, was Zawahi looking for:
A. Cowpeas?
B. Peanuts?
C. Goatskins?
D. Uranium?
I wonder why the Strategerist believes it was probably A, B, or C?
..or why would the IAEA lie about this?
The IAEA was concerned enough that they investigated and interviewed Zawahi about the trip, though at the insistence of the Iraqi government, the interview was monitored by Saddam's agents.
Yellow Cake. Ummm. http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/YS/IMAGES/IMG_3729resize.JPG

text: It was surprising to hear this Lana Del Rey song so much in sets lately from the likes of Tiesto and Kaskade, but then again not really. And I can't say I was even that excited to click play on another LDR remix. But Serge Devant went for a more hypnotic and sexy deep house remix to the original, and it's much unlike any rendition out there. Stripping away the track to it's bare essentials, then pitching Lana's voice, and sampling only what he needs to complete the track in proper remix manner, makes this track interesting to me. Be sure to check back and subscribe to his Soundcloud channel to be on top of when this get's released as a free download.

Although protractors began to appear in practical geometry textbooks in the 18th century, it was not until the turn of the 20th century that they were used systematically in mathematics teaching in American schools. Some protractors were small and inexpensive, intended for purchase and use by individual students. These might be made from new materials, such as plastic. Other protractors for educational use were oversized, designed for teachers to provide demonstrations of concepts at the blackboard. Two protractors in the collection were manufactured in Japan and displayed at the 1876 World's Fair to help demonstrate the modernization of education in that nation.
"Protractors - School " showing 1 items.
Safe-T 45779 Blackboard Protractor
- Description
- This oversized white plastic semicircular protractor may be used at a chalkboard or whiteboard. A smaller semicircle is cut out of the protractor's interior. Three curved grooves form a third semicircle between these two semicircles. The protractor is divided by single degrees and in three rows of divisions. It is marked by tens from 0° to 180° (left to right) and from 180° to 0° (right to left).
- An oversized ruler, or scale of equal parts, divided to mm and marked by single cm from 1 to 10, is on the diameter of the innermost semicircle. A notch for the origin point of the protractor is at the center of this edge. Another scale of equal parts, divided by 16ths of an inch and marked by ones from 1 to 6, is along the outer lower edge.
- The protractor is marked: Angles Opening Left (>) Use Upper Scale; Angles Opening Right (<) Use Lower Scale (/) SAFE-T PROTRACTOR® #45779. A recycling logo for plastic type 6 appears in the lower right corner. The protractor retailed for approximately $13 in 2011.

Liverpool Sound City: football and music in our neighbouring city by Aaron› 17 May 2012
A terrific event taking place just down the road from us, Liverpool Sound City
has become a fixture of the music calendar since it was launched in
2008, thanks to the city's long-standing love affair with all kinds of
music. The only thing that can rival music in Liverpudlian minds is
football of course, so it's only natural that the two are coming
together at this year's LSC.
Here at Umbro, we know a thing or two about football and music of course, so we're delighted to be involved in the Kicking + Screening strand of Liverpool Sound City , which starts today and runs until Saturday. As an official partner, we're going to be helping to host the John Peel World Cup in Liverpool on Saturday, which has become an integral part of LSC and raises money for a great cause. It'll feature some of the great bands that are playing at this year's event alongside teams from LSC itself, Spiel Magazine, Liverpool 1 – and of course, an Umbro team, who will sweep aside anyone who stands in their way. (I can say this as I'm not playing, so I won't have to face the consequences….)
Alongside Saturday's tournament, Kicking + Screening are also showing some great football related films in suitably impressive surroundings, complete with special guests, panel discussions, photography and more. It couldn't be more of a mix of football and music than if you had Pat Nevin DJing and Dion Dublin playing his Dube.
We'll have plenty more on Liverpool Sound City as it progresses, so keep your eyes on all the Umbro channels for the latest.

Structures, Templates and Web Content : CMS's MVC
By Prakash Reddy KLV on Feb 17, 2009
In my previous post, I had demonstrated how to add content to a page in WebSpace using the Web Content Display portlet. I had used the Web Content Display portlet to add a review article about a Car. Now imagine you have a website where reviews about different cars have to be posted everyday. Creating and formatting each article using the WYSIWYG editor is definitely not scalable. It also poses some maintenance problems. Assume that you have some 100 different review articles about 100 cars on your site and your boss is not happy with the format of the content. He wants you to change the format of all the articles. Now that would require you to edit each article and modify the format using the WYSIWYG editor. Isn't that going to be tedious. And by the way 100 articles is really a small number. I have come across customers who have to maintain more than 10,000 articles on their site.
Don't worry. Here comes Structures and Templates to your rescue. Structure is meta-data for content. It defines what the content would be made of. The structure for the review article would indicate that the article is made up of a Title, Image, Author Name, Date, and Body. It is analogous to the schema of a table. Template would define how the content would be laid out on the page. For example, the template would define the Title to be bold and centered, Image to be displayed in a fixed width of 100x100, Body text to be in red color and so on. A structure can have many number of templates associated with it. Once the structure and templates are ready, you can create content corresponding to the structure by specifying values for the fields defined in the structure. This is analogous to adding a row to a table by specifying values for the columns in the table. While creating the content, you can select one of the many available templates that has to be applied while displaying the content. In this way, if you want to change the look and feel of the content, all you have to do is just assign different template to the content in place of the old one.
The following screen cast demonstrates how to apply the concept of structure and templates to create and publish review articles on to our site.
If you want to try out the above exercise, download this file exercise.txt since it contains all the content that you need to create structure, templates and web content.

I'm not sure it actually plumps much at all, but I use it every day and night and at least it may keep them from deflating over time, lol.
actually works

I'm in my mid-50's, and my lips looked a least 20 years older. This has smoothed them out noticeably. I apply it 3 or 4 times a day, and noticed a difference in a few days. It also tingles pleasantly, and makes my lips a little redder. It isn't tinted, I think it's just extra blood flow.

I rarely write reviews, but had to give an endorsement for this product. After only a couple of weeks I can truly see a difference in my lip volume. I've only used it twice a day, so I imagine 3 x day would be even better. I let it soak in for about 10-15 min. then apply Now Vit. E Extra Strength Oil over it as a gloss. My lips have more color and are noticeably plumper. I especially love the minty tingle it gives. Very happy with this and am buying a second tube.
doesn't work

The only thing this seems to do is make my lips feel chapped. I haven't noticed any plumping effect.

Historical Cuban Tile Floors Offer Time-Tested Patterns
Historical Cuban Tile Floors Offer Time-Tested PatternsThese Cuban tiles are from an original installation from a library in Old Havana, Cuba (circa 1920). This classic pattern and colorway is available today from Avente Tile as Cuban Heritage Design 120 1A in an eight-inch square format.
Cuban Heritage Cement Tile Collection
The collection of Cuban Heritage Cement Tiles is a set of historical designs. Each design or pattern is available in three colorways: one with the original color combination found in Cuba, and two others with more modern and subtle colors.
For instance, besides the colorway shown, there are two additional colorways available for this pattern:
Cuba's Cement Tile HeritageThe Cuban Heritage Collection is a set of Cuban tile patterns that have been re-discovered from old homes and estates in Havana and Camagüey, Cuba. In many cases, debris was removed to find the beautiful Cuban floor tile. Since many of the old buildings are being destroyed or renovated, we are fortunate to have found these designs; otherwise, the patterns and tiles would be lost forever.
What Makes Cuban Tiles Unique?Cuban tile reflect the island's heritage when it was the playground for the rich and famous in it's heyday. Some of the tile patterns are whimsical, while others are modern. The Cuban Heritage Collection differs from other cement tiles by having more elaborate patterns with strong, bold colors. In this collection, you'll often find prominent double borders that enrich the designs. As you can see, Cuban Tiles definitely have a rich history.
Each piece of cement tile is handmade by expert craftsmen, using a process that was developed over a century ago. Slight changes in the materials and tools used have improved the quality of these magnificent Cuban tiles.
Because these tiles are handmade, color variation is to be expected on both solid and patterned tiles. Generally, the range of color is complementary. However, inspect the material before it is installed. We also recommend a dry layout prior to installation.

"These shoes are as cute in person as they are online. They run slightly big. I'm usually an 8.5 but ordered the 8. Glad I did because they run slightly big. They are really comfy to walk in, but the front part of the sandal makes your feet look REALLY LONG. Because of that, I'm sad to say I'm going to return them. I'm thinking they'll prob look good on someone who has a small foot."

Not for me
"Shoes are not as cute in person. Yellow is off and not ideal for those with a wider in-step. Also, I did not like the patent leather look on the back of sandal."

Cute Enough
"I have over 180 pairs of shoes, so I'm never married to any one shoe - so as a 'this matches that outfit' sandal, this was a perfect sandal. The front is a little harder, so it digs in - but I think once they're worn in, they'll be better.Overall, super cute and perfect complement/contrast for any summer wardrobe!"

"I ordered this sandal on Monday and received them on Saturday. I wasn't expecting them until the following Tuesday. (Great service). I'm pretty skeptical about ordering online, but after I read the previous reviews I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did, I absolutely love, love, love these shoes. They are comfortable, sexy and perfect for the Spring/Summer with a pair of white skinny jeans. ;-D P.S. the yellow is neon."
