What is Resource Governor?
Resource Governor is a feature which can manage SQL Server Workload and System Resource Consumption. We can limit the amount of CPU and memory consumption by limiting /governing /throttling on the SQL Server.
Why is resource governor required?
If there are different workloads running on SQL Server and each of the workload needs different resources or when workloads are competing for resources with each other and affecting the performance of the whole server resource governor is a very important task.
What will be the real world example of need of resource governor?
Here are two simple scenarios where the resource governor can be very useful.
Scenario 1: A server which is running OLTP workload and various resource intensive reports on the same server. The ideal situation is where there are two servers which are data synced with each other and one server runs OLTP transactions and the second server runs all the resource intensive reports. However, not everybody has the luxury to set up this kind of environment. In case of the situation where reports and OLTP transactions are running on the same server, limiting the resources to the reporting workload it can be ensured that OTLP's critical transaction is not throttled.
Scenario 2: There are two DBAs in one organization. One DBA A runs critical queries for business and another DBA B is doing maintenance of the database. At any point in time the DBA A's work should not be affected but at the same time DBA B should be allowed to work as well. The ideal situation is that when DBA B starts working he get some resources but he can't get more than defined resources.
Does SQL Server have any default resource governor component?
Yes, SQL Server have two by default created resource governor component.
1) Internal –This is used by database engine exclusives and user have no control.
2) Default – This is used by all the workloads which are not assigned to any other group.
What are the major components of the resource governor?
- Resource Pools
- Workload Groups
- Classification
In simple words here is what the process of resource governor is.
- Create resource pool
- Create a workload group
- Create classification function based on the criteria specified
- Enable Resource Governor with classification function
Let me further explain you the same with graphical image.
Is it possible to configure resource governor with T-SQL?
Yes, here is the code for it with explanation in between.
Step 0: Here we are assuming that there are separate login accounts for Reporting server and OLTP server.
/*----------------------------------------------- Step 0: (Optional and for Demo Purpose) Create Two User Logins 1) ReportUser, 2) PrimaryUser Use ReportUser login for Reports workload Use PrimaryUser login for OLTP workload -----------------------------------------------*/
Step 1: Creating Resource Pool
We are creating two resource pools. 1) Report Server and 2) Primary OLTP Server. We are giving only a few resources to the Report Server Pool as described in the scenario 1 the other server is mission critical and not the report server.
----------------------------------------------- -- Step 1: Create Resource Pool ----------------------------------------------- -- Creating Resource Pool for Report Server CREATE RESOURCE POOL ReportServerPool WITH ( MIN_CPU_PERCENT=0, MAX_CPU_PERCENT=30, MIN_MEMORY_PERCENT=0, MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT=30) GO -- Creating Resource Pool for OLTP Primary Server CREATE RESOURCE POOL PrimaryServerPool WITH ( MIN_CPU_PERCENT=50, MAX_CPU_PERCENT=100, MIN_MEMORY_PERCENT=50, MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT=100) GO
Step 2: Creating Workload Group
We are creating two workloads each mapping to each of the resource pool which we have just created.
----------------------------------------------- -- Step 2: Create Workload Group ----------------------------------------------- -- Creating Workload Group for Report Server CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP ReportServerGroup USING ReportServerPool ; GO -- Creating Workload Group for OLTP Primary Server CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP PrimaryServerGroup USING PrimaryServerPool ; GO
Step 3: Creating user defined function which routes the workload to the appropriate workload group.
In this example we are checking SUSER_NAME() and making the decision of Workgroup selection. We can use other functions such as HOST_NAME(), APP_NAME(), IS_MEMBER() etc.
----------------------------------------------- -- Step 3: Create UDF to Route Workload Group ----------------------------------------------- CREATE FUNCTION dbo.UDFClassifier() RETURNS SYSNAME WITH SCHEMABINDING AS BEGIN DECLARE @WorkloadGroup AS SYSNAME IF(SUSER_NAME() = 'ReportUser') SET @WorkloadGroup = 'ReportServerGroup' ELSE IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'PrimaryUser') SET @WorkloadGroup = 'PrimaryServerGroup' ELSE SET @WorkloadGroup = 'default' RETURN @WorkloadGroup END GO
Step 4: In this final step we enable the resource governor with the classifier function created in earlier step 3.
----------------------------------------------- -- Step 4: Enable Resource Governer -- with UDFClassifier ----------------------------------------------- ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION=dbo.UDFClassifier); GO ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE GO
Step 5: If you are following this demo and want to clean up your example, you should run following script. Running them will disable your resource governor as well delete all the objects created so far.
----------------------------------------------- -- Step 5: Clean Up -- Run only if you want to clean up everything ----------------------------------------------- ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION = NULL) GO ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR DISABLE GO DROP FUNCTION dbo.UDFClassifier GO DROP WORKLOAD GROUP ReportServerGroup GO DROP WORKLOAD GROUP PrimaryServerGroup GO DROP RESOURCE POOL ReportServerPool GO DROP RESOURCE POOL PrimaryServerPool GO ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR RECONFIGURE GO
I hope this introductory example give enough light on the subject of Resource Governor. In future posts we will take this same example and learn a few more details.

Great intro as always.
Very nice!!
Thank you Pinal this was a great article! It was the best introduction to resource governor ever!
ELSE IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'PrimaryUser')
ELSE IF (SUSER_NAME() = 'PrimaryServerPool')
useful info as always!!
Great information. You guys with Enterprise edition get to have all the fun.
How much overhead does the Resource Governor add to the system?
This was one beautiful example to understand the working and usage of a resource governor. Thanks for the lovely article.
good article
i have a use case where in my app disregards the TSQL resultset if it is returned after say 5 seconds, and i cant set timout at app level as the driver is not compatible with sql server so isthere any way with wich i can timeout/fail a tsql query which is taking longer than few seconds ?
your help will be appreciated, thanks in advance
Good article!
I can't use that feature because I have SQL Server Standard Edition and SQL Governor is supported only by SQL Enterprise and higher. Do you have in mind a third party tool that can do the same thing?
@pinaldave can we classify the resource governer incoming requests based on stored procedure names? example like i want the SP 'FullEmpDetails_SP' to be routed to seperate workgroup… is it possible to classify based on name?
Informative and very useful as usual
I translate this article to farsi (persian) Language if you want i can present it to you
Please do not translate this in any other language.
if you permit i want use it in farsi in iranian web sites
What can you do in the case where this was done on standard edition and it says it needs to be reconfigured but you can't since resource governor is not available in standard edition?
wow ! what a neat & clean explanation of Resource Governor Setting :) thank u soooo much
I executed a stored procedure which inserts 100000 records into a table as a user from the default group at it took 28 seconds. I executed the stored procedure logging in as a primary user which is in the primary group having max_cpu_percent = 100 and max_mem_percent = 100 but it took 46 second. Why there was a degradation in the performance of execution?
It is again best one & awesome for new resource governor users :)
i have used the function
"create function sysgoverner4()
returns sysname
with schemabinding
declare @wlgrp as sysname
declare @db1 varchar(20)='pruthviraj_test_new',@db2 varchar(20)='TestDB_new1′
set @wlgrp='pruthviraj'
else if(ORIGINAL_DB_NAME()=@db2)
set @wlgrp='test'
set @wlgrp='default'
return @wlgrp
but still the database is using the default when i run a query from "pruthviraj_test_new"
any suggestions?
As ever, Pinal Dave leads us the way in what would otherwise a substantial hurdle in configuring Sql server. Sadly however there is a substantial error in this article: the classification function is NOT triggered by a Request, it is triggered by opening a Session, as is stated here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934084(d=printer,v=sql.105).aspx
This means that have close and open a session every time you reconfigure the Resource Governor.
(I also hope this information might be helpful to Pruthvi Raj and Binny Mathew.)
If you keep this in mind this article is great introduction.
Hello Pinal, our applications have got a lot of adhoc job requests which needs to be run at any given point in time. Also there is a webinterface designed in our system, but whenever the jobs are running in the background, the webinterface slows down (inserts, updates, searches) , which results in poor user experience.
So i need to now define a solution wherein whenever these adhoc jobs are being executed, it doesnt eat up all the resources. Also whenever a user tries using this webinterface during the ongoing loads, his request should be prioritized and be given all the needed resource (because it would hardly last for 5-10 seconds per request).
Can i address this problem using resource governor? If yes then how? Please guide me out here.
First you need to figure out the bottleneck. From the face of the problem its looks like blocking issue. what are the waits you are seeing during problem time?
Thanks for a great introductory example Pinal!
Is there any way to "test" if everything is set up correctly and that my user-login is being assigned to the correct workload group? I tried googling but haven't found anything… Thanks in advance
You can verify that requests are being classified as expected. Look at the example queries under the heading "To verify the resource pools, workload groups, and the classifier user-defined function" here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/cc645892(v=sql.120).aspx
You can check your classifications are working by looking at SQL Activity Monitor | Processes.
You will see the under the column 'Workload Group' the different classifications for your sessions.
Finally. A practical example of something! Very good!
Thanks CM.
very good article
unfortunately I cant get it to work , the workgroup is not being use and I cant find the issue no errors reported- must be a basic reason for this .
. also should suser name be st-network\oliverk-admin or just oliverk-admin for example
You can use SQL Logins to play with it.
why cant i unsubscribe to your emails ? when i click unsubscribe all i get is a blank screen in IE
I unsubscribed you, apologizy for the inconvenience.

Utah has adopted the brand, Utah: Life Elevated. This campaign to reach out of state tourists was explained at the Castle Valley Summit held recently in Castle Dale. Mike Deaver, deputy director for the Utah Office of Tourism said that Castle Valley is very much a part of the whole picture of Life Elevated. Recently a writer from Britain came to Utah to write a story and she was particularly interested in dinosaurs so she was sent to Eastern Utah and ended up writing a story about the dinosaurs in Utah and encouraging everyone in Britain to visit Utah.
Gov. Jon Huntsman will hold his next governor's tourism conference in Price next May. "Brands have a promise," said Deaver. He showed a presentation with various logos from national brands and their recognition value. McDonalds has had the same logo since they opened in 1968. It is recognized worldwide and the product is the same all over the world. "There is a mental association with brands. Just do it. What does that mean, what does that stand for? The Marlboro man represents the American West to a tourist" said Deaver. He mentioned Starbucks Coffee customers visit the store approximately 18 times a month.
Other states outspend Utah 20 to 1 on advertising to promote their state. Utah's goal is to develop name and site recognition outside of Utah. Give people a visual perception of what it means to be in Utah.
"Vegas is an adult playground. They are true to who they are and their marketing reflects that. Dining out in Vegas produces more revenue now than gambling. We are in our second year now with Life Elevated. The legislature appropriated $18 million for a two year campaign. When Colorado found out, they appropriated $20 million. Colorado has 27 ski resorts and Utah has 13. This is who we compete with," said Deaver.
Tourism visitors add $5.5 billion to the economy of Utah. Without them each household in Utah would have to pay $464 more in taxes. If we can increase visitors, if they stay longer the revenue could double. Tourism has a major effect on Utah's economy. Counties depend on tourism. Daggett County relies almost entirely on tourism from Flaming Gorge."
When surveys were done on out of state people and the images they associated with Utah were the luge, and Zion's National park.
"All out of state tourism money is clean money. We don't have to educate their kids and things like that," said Deaver.
Through the surveys and image associations it was discovered that people just aren't familiar with Utah in other parts of the country. When shown images of Utah attractions the people placed the attractions in other states.
They don't know what Utah has to offer. They think Lake Powell is in Arizona and they place Delicate Arch in Arizona also.
In the promotional material created by Utah: Life Elevated, the goal is to create an image for Utah. Immerse yourself in the Utah experience, Utah is a place where you can have an authentic experience with nature; a place to reconnect with personal values. Get out of the grind of daily life and elevate yourself with a Utah experience.
Ads have been placed in several national magazines as well as television spots in selected markets to increase Utah awareness and ultimately bring visitors into the state. Mock ads were shown to selected groups of people which showed the varied terrain of Utah and none of the people could identify it as being in Utah and no one believed the variety of landscapes could be in one place.
Some people described the photos as spiritual, but not a religious place. In every group surveyed there was at least one person who had been to Utah who said it was the best vacation they had ever taken. Some people had the idea there wasn't a direct flight into Salt Lake City which is far from the truth. Utah has more direct flights into the state than most places.
The travel bureau hopes the ads will appeal to the young and old alike. Utah is a diverse state with both summer and winter attractions, five national parks and 42 state parks. Utah offers culture with the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City. Utah offers places for solitude. "Coming to Utah will change the way you feel," said Deaver. Tourists say they met nice people here, they were able to get a drink, they were close to the mountains; 30 minutes from the airport to the ski lift. They were rejuvenated and validated by coming here.
"Life is elevated in Utah, just look around from Lake Powell to Snowbird. It's all about the elevation. People who come here love it. It's not that people have a bad perception of Utah, they just have no perception. They have no concept about Utah as a tourist destination," said Deaver.
Other projects include working with the Utah Department of Transportation to update the welcome signs into the state. Representatives are also working with the United Kingdom, Japan, China and Germany to bring tourists from out of the country into Utah.
Large truck trailers are being fitted as rolling billboards with scenes from Utah traveling the nation making deliveries and also serving as an advertising tool to promote Utah.
Work will continue to brand Utah as a tourist destination and recreational playground. Deaver encouraged everyone to work together to make sure visitors to Utah have a great experience and will want to return over and over and bring friends.

congratulations to kiddo! it really is freakishly awesome! ^^
Learn Violently! Damnit! MyDeviantArt
Congratulations, Kiddo! And great job, everyone! I love all the entries... especially the ones with One Piece, because imagining Luffy in the same room as Naruto and Ichigo always cracks me up.
Kiddo's is awesome because it has all these little details (I just recently noticed the dogs XD Aww, one is crying, LOL), Jyoti's is so pretty (Orihime's expression is so great and the way she's colored is so pretty), Ajiraiya's banner makes me laugh every time XD (Naruto and Luffy especially have the best reactions and meanwhile Jiraiya's all YAYYY), Blaineo's is somehow sweet (I can't decide which part I like the most -- the little Christmas tree on little Naruto's forehead protector, Allen's serene expression, or Ichigo's expression as he pulls the beard down XD), and X_O's is totally cute (LOL Poor little Naruto.. He's so excited about his present but he's about to get pwnd by Luffy).
Tough decision to choose between those entries and I suspect there were a lot of other great entries. Awesome job everyone! I love that MangaShare does this, too. It's fun to see the different banners each month
And actually speaking of Blaineo--the other months Blaine won were also great. I enjoyed opening the site and seeing those as the headers.
how do i put a pict. up!?!?!?!??!?!?!
please answer.
He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're a awake- stalking
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice- he's judgemental
Not to mention breaking and entering
Santa doesn't seem very nice!!
P.S. this is from narutopictures.org
You mean a banner?
This contest is over...this thread is to talk about the winners...
But, you can enter the January contest if you would like. Have you tried uploading your image to imageshack.us?
Excuse me, infinity? It's about you sig. why is naruto saying: ro ba da na zu?
does it mean anything? sorry for the stupid question but I'm just curious...

Along with about 160 other people a week ago, I was off to central Wyoming to experience being a handcart pioneer. It was to be four days of fun, sweat, dirt and wind.
Sponsored by the Huntington LDS Stake, the youth and adults from the northern part of the county met early Wednesday morning to board the bus for the long trip.
After traveling through Vernal, Craig, Colo. and Rawlins, Wyo., the buses did a drive by at Independence Rock before arriving at Martin's Cove and the beginning of the actual trek.
After being assigned to a group and picking up a handcart, it was off to our campsite. Pulling and pushing a handcart through sand and over rock is not as easy as it may appear. The only mishaps were blisters and a sprained ankle.
We visited the actual cove where LDS pioneers went for shelter from the elements, we visited Devil's Gate where the Sweetwater River cuts through solid rock and crossed the Sweetwater River with our carts. We looked for snakes and finally on the last day a rattler came out to greet us. We let it slither away, and all had a good time learning to square dance.
Antelope live in Colorado and Wyoming like pot guts live here in Emery County, they are everywhere. They often came through camp and through the group on our walks.
We dressed each day in our own interpretation of proper pioneer clothing. I found long pants and long sleeve shirts to be a minor nuisance. It was the hat that I really disliked; I am just not a hat person. The ladies wore long skirts, long blouses and bonnets.
Finally, just because my family had a nickname of TJ and seven dwarfs, I want it to be known that I would them put up against anybody in a handcart race. Spencer Fehlberg, Tanner Ewell and D'Lee Gardner may be small, but they have heart. Throw in Jake Clement, Barbie Powell, Rebecca Taboca and Tamra Luke along with TJ Gordon and we will take on all challengers.
Despite having gone showerless the entire trip, the bus ride home was uneventful except for that small little detail at the railroad crossing by the Carbon power plant. I do not know what that driver was thinking as the arms bounced off the top of the bus, but we all arrived safely home.

On July 3 Clawson bustled with activities.
Early in the morning there was a breakfast at the city park which consisted of hot cakes, sausage, and orange juice. Later on in the day there was a parade on Main Street.
The parade had about two floats, a four wheeler, golf cart, and many children on bikes. A parade favorite was the float that said God Bless America.
This float was pulled by a tractor, on the hitch of the trailer a big pole with the American flag on top. On the back of the trailer was a rotating sign that read on one side "God Bless America" and on the other "Freedom."
Parade goers thought it was a really cool float with the revolving sign painted red, white and blue.
The parade was small, but everyone seemed really excited to be there. Clawson Day is an annual event.

The Buckhorn District Eagle Scout Banquet was held recently at the San Rafael Museum. This Eagle Scout Banquet was to honor the accomplishments of 26 Eagle Scouts from Emery County. This was one of the largest groups of Eagle Scouts to have been honored in Emery County for some time. Bart Cox a member of the Buckhorn District Advancement Committee welcomed the Eagle Scouts, parents, leaders and friends.
Before the US Flag was posted by the Huntington Stake Eagle Scouts 2011, a short video was shown about the history of "Old Glory" the American flag and the National Anthem by Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) an American lawyer, author, and amateur poet, wrote the lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner.
The invocation was given by Brian Clark, Troop 307 Ferron Stake.
After the meal, catered by Drew Leroy of Food Ranch, Danna Gray the Buckhorn District Advancement Chairman introduced the guest speaker Roger Anthony.
Anthony is a motivational speaker and a proud US Citizen who was born and formerly lived in Australia. He said, "It is an honor being able to live in the United States of America. My wife, myself and my children are proud to now be citizens of the United States. It truly is, here in this country, a melting pot of people from all over the world and all cultures. I see this as the last bastion of freedom throughout the whole world. This country stands for the freedom of every human soul on planet earth. I pray that we will never take what this country stands for, for granted and hope that we will always remember that we have to uphold the Constitution of this great land. I am honored to say that I am now officially a citizen of the United States.
"One of the things I have learned with regards to leadership is the need for integrity. How imperative it is that we stand by what we believe regardless of the consequences. Integrity will never stand up to be what it was designed and created to be unless we the people stand up for what it really means. True integrity has a companion principle. That companion principle that supports integrity is assertiveness. To me, assertiveness is the soul of integrity. Without the soul, there is just a shell. Assertiveness is the right to share ideas, beliefs, our rights and our privileges in a manner that does not violate the rights of another. If I'm not living in integrity, if the organization is not built upon a foundation of integrity and even according to the principle of assertiveness, then that organization will become unstable. The same applies to a country, the same applies to a government, the same applies to the city and the same applies to the family. Assertiveness is being able to say deep within my heart, what I know to be true regardless of what the consequences may be, but to do it in a manner that does not violate the rights of another.
"I would like to share with you one of the great examples of integrity that I know and it is the crocodile. The crocodile is one of the greatest survivors known to mankind. They roamed the earth during the prehistoric times with their cousins, the dinosaurs. They shared the same hunting grounds and experienced the same dynamically changing environment. Today there are 23 species of crocodiles alive upon the face of the earth, striving and adapting. When was the last time you or I ever saw a dinosaur alive? We were created to be crocodiles and a crocodile lives in integrity.
"I will use a crocodile. To illustrate the principle that I would like to leave with you. To the scouts and all of those that are supporting these scouts. I will tell you a true story about a king croc in charge of a particular lagoon. A king croc is quite large. Under research, and being filmed this large croc was seen to slither into the water and lie motionless, because the croc senses the wildebeest are on their way back from a migratory track. The researchers estimated that the crocodile had not eaten for three months. So he was a hungry crocodile. Lying motionless in the water, the crocodile looked like a log, just off the shore, about two feet under the water, for 24 hours. The next morning, the wildebeest arrived on the other side of the lagoon. They were a little bit skittish because they knew there were crocodiles in the lagoon. This crocodile lay motionless for the next 24 hours. By the way, a crocodile in the relaxed state can get its heartbeat down to about three beats a minute. He didn't move for about 24 hours. Then he begin drifting, and the next 24 hours, he went about 30 feet. This went on for 14 days. On about the 20th day or the 21st day, the crocodile was right under the nose of the head wildebeest. The wildebeest were not at all concerned because the crocodile had conditioned them to believe that he was harmless. The wildebeest caught on camera started to nuzzle the crocodile out-of-the-way to get a drink. Not a bad plan eh.
"When you think about leadership, you scouts. When you think about what you have won to become Eagle Scouts. Congratulations, what a fantastic accomplishment to become an Eagle Scout. What an honor, what a preparation for the future and the leadership of this country.
"Here's the first thing the crocodile did and some of the reasons why it has outlived the dinosaur. The first thing it did, as hungry as it was, was to relax. Think about your life. When the unforeseen happens as you look into the future. We never know what's going to happen. From one moment to the next. Regardless of how well prepared we are. The world is changing at a dynamic and rapid rate and it is speeding up. The key is to learn to relax under all kinds of conditions. The last thing the opposition wants you to do is to relax. The opposition wants you to be stressed and fearful and deeply concerned to such a degree that we are not really in control. Whether we are parents, grandparents or up-and-coming leaders like some of you Eagle Scouts. Please remember this principle of relaxation.
"When this king croc was relaxing. He wasn't just doing nothing. While he was in this relaxed state. He was observing the wildebeests and evaluating the situation. At the beginning of any endeavor when we're disciplining children, when you Eagle Scouts are getting to the point where you're deciding on a wife. How important is it not to rush in, regardless of how hungry you might be, to get married? Make sure that you first relax and then go to the second step, which is to evaluate the situation. When we as humans are relaxed we are way more creative than when we are stressed and uptight. Yet we have been conditioned to worry about stupid, petty mundane things. By the way, all the studies that I have done have shown that worry is a learned behavior. We were never born to worry. It is not natural. It never will be. Our Creator designed us to be successful. He designed us to be healthy. He designed us to be dynamic. Why would he build into us an ability to worry?
"What happens if we continue to worry? Do we get stress? What happens when we're stressed? We get sick. We keep getting warning sign after warning sign that we shouldn't be worrying. One of the earliest warning signs of all is a stiff neck or shoulder. When I get a stiff neck or shoulder. I get excited. The reason I get excited is because it's an early warning sign that I shouldn't be worrying. Why should we be designed to worry so that we would shorten our lives? It doesn't make sense from a creator who knows what he is doing. But our opposition doesn't want us to live a full life here upon the earth. We are hoodwinked into worrying about stupid and mundane things.
"This crocodile, the first thing he did was to relax the second thing he did in the relaxed state was to observe and evaluate. You scouts when you get into business and start to forming a company around your life. Please remember that no matter how quickly you may need to develop a plan for your business. (Follow what we're teaching you here.) Number one relax first, number two evaluate in a relaxed state. Number three before you do anything else you now layout a plan. You manage the situation, Relax, observe and manage. Layout your strategies and your tactics or your goals. You never set your goals until you have first relaxed. Then you observe and evaluate. You are in a much better position to evaluate when you're in a relaxed state. Then set your goals, which is to manage the situation.
"Would you agree that this crocodile had patience? The crocodile relaxed, observed, managed, had patience and then acted. Here are the five principles that help us master our lives. Relax, observe, manage, have patience, and then act. The name of the crocodile is ROMPA.
"The Creator said that he would take the simple things of the world and confound the wise. Let's try not to make things too difficult. We have a tendency to take things too serious. The Creator doesn't make anything complex . It is always simple. Our minds and the grand philosophies of men cause us to make the simple truths complex, so that we miss the reality of our Creator," said Anthony.
Anthony then took off his suit coat and underneath the coat he was wearing a white dress shirt torn in several places. This shirt was used to illustrate how we hide things from others or put on a mask of respectability. How often do we cover up the truth from our loved ones from our husband or wife, from our colleagues, from our workmen, from our school friends. How often are we covering up the truth? Because we're afraid of what people may think of us. Is that integrity? Does that represent what the United States stands for? We know this, that any organization, society or individual that bases their life on the lack of integrity, eventually those foundations will collapse.
"There's a statement that I use when training corporations. Success is simple, but it is not easy because it is so simple, and another statement is that truth always wins. Sometimes, eventually, but it always wins. Please keep that in mind and remember, in this land of the United States. In my opinion the United States is the last bastion of liberty and freedom for the whole world based on this God-given Constitution. The emblem of the United States is an eagle. So we chose in our crocodile program for the emblem of Integrity an eagle.
"When we use true and correct principles, regardless of what the consequences may be, we can have a life of harmony, even in the storms. It doesn't mean we're not going to have heartaches. It doesn't mean that we're not going to feel sadness and sorrow. But what It does mean is that even in the storms of life we can still recognize the life and the truth of who we really are and we will always stay steady and firm anchored to the rock of integrity," said Anthony.
After Anthony told two more stories relating to management skills involving the eagle and then an ostrich, he went on to a demonstration of how to correctly punch a boxing speed bag. The speed bag platform was set up in one corner of the room. He said, in learning to punch a speed bag, it is no different than learning to use any other piece of equipment or practicing a musical instrument or becoming a great business person or a leader. There are certain principles involved. Regardless of what the consequences might be. If we follow them like ROMPA and integrity. We can take what could be chaos and confusion, and through those storms create harmony and rhythm in our lives.
Anthony displayed the speed ball and said, "This speed ball is made to represent the mastering of our lives. A few of the scouts were then asked to try their hand at punching the speed bag. These scouts found it difficult to hit the speed bag correctly even after being shown how. Learning the skill of punching a speed bag takes time and training as with any worthwhile goal."
Anthony then said, "By the way, if I know I have got a ripped shirt on, and I cover it up. Pretending that it is not ripped or pretending I'm OK when I'm not and I'm not living in the truth. How does It make me feel when I'm hiding the truth? Good? Or bad?" The audience replied bad. "It is a sign from our Creator. Speak the truth, and eventually it will win. The idea is that we burn energy when we are hiding the truth. Often at the end of the day, the end of the week, the end of the month, the end of the year. We are literally burned out because we are hiding the truth and avoiding speaking, it and making the changes we need to make in our lives. Anthony then displayed his artistic talent for punching the speed bag. The rhythm and sounds he produced while punching the speed bag was almost like music."
In conclusion, Anthony again stated, "Truth always wins. Sometimes, eventually. So never, never give up on speaking and living the truth. Leadership in life is all about effective positive communication. It is all about relationships, wife with husband, children with parents and so it goes on throughout our whole existence on the earth and making allowances for the individual differences of those around us. Congratulations once again Eagle Scouts," concluded Anthony.
Bart Cox then introduced Dennis Dooley of the Elks Price Lodge 1550. The Elks Lodge are great supporters of the Scouting program. They have today a gift for each of the Eagle Scouts. The gift is a flag of the United States of America. Dooley said, "The program and presentation by Mr. Anthony was absolutely inspiring. Your accent inspired me to tell this story. Not too long after the war in Afghanistan started the British troops supported us. There were quite a few troops over there from Great Britain at the time. Tony Blair, was the Prime Minister of Great Britain and for those of you who don't know anything about Parliament. You may expect it to be a very staid and quiet meeting. But they have this tradition called question time and it is not at all calm. As a matter of fact, it usually turns into a shouting match. They don't have desks in Parliament. They just have benches, and basically the opposition parties will shout questions to the Prime Minister, and he is expected to field these questions. In this case, the opposition was giving Tony Blair a real hard time about supporting America. It got into almost a shouting match. Mr. Blair stood up, looked at the opposition leader, directly across the room and said, 'I will remind the right honorable gentleman that there are only two people who offered to die for this freedom and asks nothing in return. One is Jesus Christ and the other is the American soldier. So we will support them.'"
Dooley said, "We support the scouts because we like you have to stand up and publicly salute the American flag. We like you have to stand up publicly and say we believe in God. The world is run by those who show up. It does not matter whether they are good people, or bad people. The world will be run by those who show up. We hope that in the future when your country calls, you will show up. Because you're the ones that have had the training, you're the ones that have been taught the Creed, you're the ones that have been taught the values by your family, you're the ones that believe in God and if you stay home, we are in trouble. Show up."
The closing prayer was given by Jordan Cox, Troop 305 Castle Dale Stake. The Eagle Scout Awards were presented by Danna Gray, Bart Cox, Roger Anthony, Dennis Dooley and Robert Regruto. The honored were given an Eagle plaque, a certificate of achievement and an American Flag.
The names of the scouts receiving awards are as follows: McKoy E. Allred, McKlane J. Allred, Jason G. Anderson, Stetson Gordon Bennett, David R. Bird Aaron J. Brower, Kelven V. Childs, Brian Lewis Clark, Jordan F. Cox, Chase A Fausett, Chet J. Funk, Jax Duane Gardner, Adam Daniel Irving, Brendon C. Jorgensen, Johnny A. Lindquist Matthew N. Mecham, Jaron M.

Skip to comments.Obamas Presidential Eligibility Scandal?
Posted on 01/12/2010 8:55:40 PM PST by circumbendibus
Did Hope for Rising GOP Stars like Bobby Jindal Play a Role in the Obamas Presidential Eligibility Scandal?
When questions about Obamas eligibility to serve as President arose, I immediately recognized that this could be the biggest political scandal in U.S. history, bigger even than Watergate. The allegations, if true, would have created widespread political turmoil and would have had to involve people, high up people, ignoring and/or covering up facts. How could a young Senator from Illinois have gotten so far, so quickly, in national politics without some in both the Democratic & Republican Parties taking notice, researching, discovering details of his past and recognizing that there was a BIG potential problem? Especially, given that every other person in Washington is a lawyer, people knew, the media had to have known, known both of the problem and its ramifications. After all, its the political big league in Washington.
Having a legal background, I decided to do my own research to satisfy my curiosity and it became abundantly clear that legitimate questions existed and continue to exist. Questions regarding interpretation of Article II, Section I of the Constitution, questions of original intent, British/Kenyan law, acquisition of citizenship, questions about Obamas birthplace, his adoption, his educational scholarships, his parents foreign allegiance/citizenship, his prior inadvertent admissions, questions about his passport(s), etc., exist with sufficient basis in law and/or fact to warrant serious investigation and judicial review. So, like many others at the time, I sat back and waited for the media firestorm to begin. And I waited, and waited, and waited. Not a peep from the media, Hillary, McCain or Republicans. Why?
(Excerpt) Read more at australia.to ...
BTTT ... Bwahahahahahahaaha
Eligibility PING!!!
FINALLY!!!!!!! we are whimps, the AUSSIES are not!!! shame, shame, shame on America!!
If CNN were to break the story, they'd make FOX look bad, now wouldn't they?
Well maybe people will wake up and start cancelling their TV service because your cable & sat TV bill sends $1 a month to CNN, $1 to MSNBC/NBC/CNBC and so forth.
Fox? Fox is 20% owned by the Saudis who put up a large chunk of the $700 million used to blanket all the media with Obama during the election. Roger Ailes is a good guy but Fox is bought and paid for. They are better than the others but don't expect anything from them. General Electric aka NBC/MSNBC/CNBC are probably the worst followed by CNN.
This will be a story unless a case moves forward and they are forced to "report" the facts. There will not be any investigative reporting, and you know as well as the rest of us, there is more than enough solid facts in more places that can and probably have been absorbed by many reporters....mums the word....Someone said "2008 was the year that journalism died"
Of course he qualified. He be light-skinned and don't speak no Negro dialeck.
Finally someone asking the right questions out loud that too many in this country are ignoring. Anyone know why considering what is at stake?
I'd say it is far better than even money that the truth and this story blows up on Obama. The question is when?
"...I immediately recognized that this could be the biggest political scandal in U.S. history..."
This could be more than just a political scandal — this could turn out to be high treason on a large scale perpetrated by members of both parties and the MSM. Is there a statute of limitation for such a crime?
Hillary!? I bet she and
mohammed uh, hussein had a lovely conversation. She produced proof of his illegitimacy and threatened him with it.
He handed her the Hillary! dossier that soros prepared.
He'd only have to drop out of the race and claim he was always told he was born in Hawaii...
She'd be spending a long long long time in prison (possibly on death row?)
Guess who blinks?
McCain was born on U. S. offshore territory to parents who both were U. S. citizens, ensuring his constitutional eligbility.
Bigger than Watergate Bawawhahahaha, snerk, hahahahah.
AS far as political scandal goes, that's a minor puff.
Teapot dome - W G Harding
The Crédit Mobilier, the Whiskey Ring scandal Ulysses S. Grant
Bill CLinton and the Chinese (Take your pick with Billy)
"MIss Halpin" (Maria Crofts Halpin,) Grover Cleveland (More than Monica for sure)
Ya Watergate was big, but so were a whole host of others.
I'm sure, in time, Bammy will be found out for something or the other.
The Republicans are and were stupid.
I have often wondered why Bill Clinton when impeached stayed in office. Were the gutless wonders bought off or threatened or what?
Every Republican senator signed Senate Resolution 511 in which "born of parents who are citizens" is the key argument, and place of nation of birth is barely mentioned; they were supporting the lie to the less informed that McCain was eligible. That the resolution (the third attempt by the Democratic Congress to insure that McCain, who received considerable Soros money, was their opponent) had no legal effect is irrelevant. It had the effect of calming the doubts of some who trust their representatives.
Does the Schutzstaffel, err, Secret Service have any jurisdiction over our friends in Australia?
Yes. OTOH,The DNC are crooks or communists or both. They know exactly what they are doing. Pat Caddell, Carter's pollster, made these remarks recently on a panel with David Horowitz
Actually he was born in Panama. Not in the Canal zone.
Besides back when I was a pup, and being taught civics in an elementary school on a Marine Corps base, we were told that those of us born overseas could never be president.
Wanna bet that the demoncrats would EVER let go of it?
This is the $64 million dollar question (and pretty soon he's going to have about that much invested in keeping his birth certificate and college documents kept secret in his vault), making sure these documents never see the light of day. Thus far either those involved are either compliant, personally involved in the deception, or are fearful that disclosure could be dangerous to their health for them or their families.
Equally alarming IMHO is that prior to the election and certainly afterwards, there is almost NO critical reporting on this man or his administration by almost every media source. It's downright eerie that this many networks would kowtow in this manner to this administration. Does anyone recollect this type of obsession with a president by media before? Even with JFK there were reporters and stations that aired critical pieces of news. Not with this one, except for the much maligned by this administration Fox News.

Quote:1. Obama refused to release records when he attended kindergarten at Noelani Elementary School on Oahu during the school year 1966-67. Nor his adoption papers to Lolo Soetero
2. Obama refused and ignored request to release financial records nor transcripts when he began attending the prestigious Punahou School in Honolulu, one of Hawaii's top private institutions.
3. Obama ignored requests for his records/financing and transcripts from Occidental College.......
KEYWORDS: birthcertificate; certifigate; election; keyan; obama; usurper;
3. Obama ignored requests for his records/financing and transcripts from Occidental College, where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia University.
4. Obamas campaign refused to give Columbia, where he earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his transcripts.
The New York Times states: "Obama has declined repeated requests to talk about New York years, release ANY Columbia transcripts or even identify even a single fellow student, roommate, co-worker or friend from those years" Oct 30,2007
New York Sun states "The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago, The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public." September 2008.
5. Obama is said to have written a major thesis in his senior year on Soviet nuclear disarmament. On July 24, 2008, the Obama administration told NBC News Obama was unable to release copies of his thesis paper. "We do not have a copy of the course paper you requested and neither does Columbia University," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said.
6. Obama ignored request to release records from his time at Harvard Law School, nor his LSAT scores merited admissions because according to Politico, Obama's name does not appear on any legal scholarships during his time at Harvard. His campaign reportedly said his Harvard education was a product of hard work and student loans. Obama graduated magna cum laude in 1991.
7. Obama spokesperson said the Obama didn't write any articles for the Review, but he did leave behind numerous case analysis and notes" "A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time." Susan Estrich, the first female president of the Review who served 14 years earlier, said Obama must have had something published that year, even if his campaign denied it.
8. Obama did not agree to the release of his application to the Illinois State Bar
9. Obama did not release his client list as an attorney or his billing records. He maintained that he performed only a few hours of legal work for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago businessman convicted of fraud in June 2008
10. Obama refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois. Nor did he produce correspondence, such as his schedules of appointments or letters from lobbyists, from his days in the Illinois state Senate.
11. Obama released just one brief document detailing his personal health.
12. During the presidential campaign, McCains campaign released a full list of all online donors. Obamas campaign still has not released the names of those who donated at least one-third of the $750 million he raised.

Chris Matthews researched this whole issue from top to bottom, inside and out. He didn't share any of his research, but I saw him waving a green piece of paper on his show, and that's good enough for me.

he was born outside the canal zone. coco solo didn't build the hospital facility until a few years after his birth. amador guerrero hospital in colon is like 1 mile from coco solo/canal zone.
Read this book. It tells the whole story of what went on behind doors. It is written by David Schippers, the chief investigative counsel for the Clinton impeachment. If you read the review Amazon, the review gives a good synopsis. Here is the book :
"Besides back when I was a pup, and being taught civics in an elementary school on a Marine Corps base, we were told that those of us born overseas could never be president."
was taught same in a non-dodds school. It was almost universally accepted, and until mccain began to be a serious candidate, never disputed.

Kenyan Historian: It's Odd that Kenyan Luo Tribe Member (Obama) Elected President in US Before Kenya (Audio)
We already knew that Barack Obama's brother Malik was a Luo activist and a militant Muslim
who argued that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."
Article in Nairobi Paper June 2004 - Barack born in Africa
An ongoing poll by AOL News currently shows that 58% of Americans have doubts
about Obamas citizenship. The poll was started on July 28 and continues you can go
here to vote. And lest you think that this survey is being conducted in a very anti-Obama
venue, the title of the article is Birthers, Beer and Stuck on Stupidly it is an
environment contemptuous of skeptics. So we can conclude that the results of their poll
are not what they were hoping for.
A scant five years ago, Barack Obama was a little known Illinois state politician, aspiring
to move up to the United States Senate. Undoubtedly, the Marxist handlers behind this
Manchurian candidate had long range plans to capture the US presidency since he was
groomed as a youth by Frank Marshall Davis. But the general public and the press were
not privy to this information.
At that time, there would have been no reason to fabricate a story about Obamas birth
that would disqualify him for the highest US office. This would be especially true for an
African paper that was simply proud of their native son. So it is reasonable to take the
press clippings of the day at face value. The following item has been on the web all
along, but apparently did not get much attention. It is a June 2004 article from the online
version of the East African Standard, an English-language paper published in Nairobi,
Kenya, titled Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate.
Br> US Presidential Polls:Obama, McCain slug it out today
WASHINGTON Americans will today go to the polls to elect their next President with

D.C. Tech Official Is Accused of Bribery(Birth Certificate Forgery)
A D.C. government official and a business executive were arrested yesterday on bribery
charges involving city technology contracts that included "ghost" workers and
kickbacks, federal authorities said. Until recently, the technology office was headed
by Vivek Kundra, who has taken a job as President Obama's chief information officer.
A White House official confirmed last night that Kundra has taken a leave of absence.
Yusuf Acar, 40, who has worked in the technology office since 2004, was charged with
bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and conflict of interest.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Hibarger told a federal judge that Acar is a flight risk because agents
seized $70,000 in cash in his house and because in recorded conversations, he boasted that he could easily flee to his native Turkey.
Acar also told the informant that he could use
computers to create fake D.C. birth certificates, Hibarger said.
"Security Breach May Lead To Obama Natural Born Status
A series of 2008 security breaches at the US State Department may indicate that someone knows Barack Obamas true status as a natural born citizen - and is waiting for the right time to reveal it. The breaches, which occurred on January 9, February 21 and March 14 of 2008, were done by two low level contractors and another in a mid-level position with no management role.
... An investigation of the incidents revealed that all three major presidential candidates - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain - had their passport files compromised.
... News of the security breaches prompted a statement from then-Senator Joseph Biden, who had not yet been chosen as Obamas running mate. Biden, who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had oversight of the Foreign Service and the passport office.
I am deeply troubled that State Department contract employees sought access to Sen. Barack Obamas passport files, the statement from Biden read. Firing or disciplining those responsible is an important first step. But we need to understand why these employees had access to this information in the first place, why they sought the information, and why it took over two months for this matter to come to light. I urge the Secretary of State to promptly refer this matter to the State Department Inspector General for investigation.
... On April 5, 2008, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services Ann Barrett resigned from her post after a credit card scheme using US passport date was uncovered by the security probe. State Department Spokesman Tom Casey told The Washington Times that 24-year-old Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr. told federal authorities he obtained passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.
From The Washington Times report:
The investigation began after Metropolitan Police on March 25 pulled over Mr. Harris in Southeast on suspicion that the windows of his vehicle were tinted too darkly.
After searching Mr. Harris and his vehicle, police found marijuana and 21 credit cards that were not issued in his name or the name of a female passenger with him. Police also found eight printouts of State Department passport applications, and four of the names on the applications matched four of the credit cards.
Upon questioning by agents from the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Postal Service and State Department, Mr. Harris admitted he obtained the passport information from a State Department employee, court documents say.
Mr. Harris also said the fraud ring submitted credit-card applications using the names and identifying information of the persons listed on the passport applications, and that a postal service employee then would intercept the cards before they were delivered to the appropriate residences.
Then, on April 17, 2008, Lt. Harris was found fatally shot dead slumped over the steering wheel of his car in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast DC."
Key Witness in Presidential Passport Tampering Case Murdered in 2008, No Arrests
On April 8, 2008, Obama confessed to having taken a trip to Pakistan in 1981. Here is what Obama said - Jake Tapper was there:
"So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa --knowing the leaders is not important -- what I know is the people...I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college -- I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
... Much speculation has been made about what national passport Obama used when he traveled to Pakistan in 1981.
So Obama confessed to this trip two weeks after his passport was tampered with.
.... A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday. Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department's Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car."
"Mysterious Dead Person Connected To 2008 Elections
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information
for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency's top ranks."
When it concerns something as mundane as their freedom, most people who claim the name "American" could not care less.
With Hemenway, Apuzzo,Donofrio, Taitz, Kreep, and America's Grand Jury on the case, maybe this month. Resposes are due Jan 15 on Donofrio's first motion on the Chrysler dealers. Maybe he is just waiting for that to drop the other shoe in DC courts later this month,i.e., quo warranto.
I am doggedly following the eligibility issue and aim to get this out and destroy the Obamas/Soetoros and the DNC. It is not enough to let them resign in disgrace. America needs to learn a lesson about the enemy within. They must be tried for treason. I hope they hang.
Yes. We had him. POTUS, a lawyer and former law professor, lying under oath on worldwide TV. What an image for America! Lindsay Graham and other Republicans who let this go disgraced America. They were in the majority at the time, weren't they?
Since then, the (left)Rats made it close in 2000, 2004, and finally took over in 2006 (Congress) and 2008 (White House).
I am a birther.
There is a companion posting today about birthers getting visits from the Secret service.
When I post on Topix, the left wing scum over there say they're going to report me.
America weeps.
Can you link to that?
Thank you. I'd like to know why the Secret Service isn't arresting Obama.
Besides back when I was a pup, and being taught civics in an elementary school on a Marine Corps base, we were told that those of us born overseas could never be president.
Me three. I was born in Ancon, Canal Zone, in Gorgas Hospital. We kids knew we could never become president...as if we wanted to anyway.

|In response to Re: Leak from Hot Water Copper Pipe
: Last evening, I noticed certain parts of my wood parquet floor had heaved in a hallway and in my dining room adjacent to a kitchen wall. Upon closer inspection, I found hot water seeping out of a section of my kitchen wall. Shutting off the main hot water supply stopped the water flow. After attending to soaking out some of the water, I proceeded to open up the lower 3 ft of waterlogged gysum board by hand. Thereafter, I found 2 copper risers, both with several connection joints at about 2 ft. off the floor. Both of these pipes come out of the concrete slab in a vinyl soft sheath. The sheath containing the hot water pipe was full of water. I expected to see water flying out of the elbow and/or connection joints after I turned the hot water back on. Surprisingly, nothing happened other than a couple of bubbles coming from within the sheath. The hot water has been back on for twelve hours since and no water has seeped out of the pipe or sheath at all. I am at a loss as to what may have caused the initial leak as I have done nothing at this location other than wiggling the joints a little to see if anything was loose. Can you please give me some ideas as to what may have caused the leak? Sorry about the length of this question. Thanks.
The soft vinyl sheath is simply a protection for the copper pipe as it passes through the concrete floor. The copper pipe gets there from the water heater. The liklihood is very strong that the leak is at a 90 degree fitting in the dirt below the concrete slab. There is a very close tolerance between the copper pipe and the fitting, and you very likely wiggled the riser in the fitting and stopped a majority of the leak. But it didn't go away, as evidenced by the bubbling. The hot water is leaking under the concrete and is displacing air under the slab, and that is what you see bubbling. The concrete will need to be broken away in a large enough area to allow the dirt to be dug out to get to the copper piping to fix the leak. At the hot water heater, is there an area that is LOWER than the floor level? The line will need to be cut there to drain water out, so that the repair can be made at the wall, then drywall and parquet floor needs replacement. Do you want to tackle this yourself? Ask your Homeowners Insurance Agent to look at it and recommend a LICENSED plumber and repair crew to do the work, and you'll only pay the deductible

Mods / Admins will be chosen when the community is more established and there's a level of trust. Right now those with power are limited to myself and the #blood-scanlations staff.
I'm just a little old fashioned and very hands-on / picky with who has moderation power on my sites.
They will start hiring moderators once they feel a need for it. They already have around 4 forum leaders, and 1 moderator that I know of, so with the size of the forums as they are, I don't think they will be looking for staff as of now. Once they are hiring, it probably won't be a sign up thread. I'm guessing they will just send out notices to the people that they think can handle the authority of monitoring an entire forum, asking if they would like to be a moderator or not.
Right now, though, they really don't need to hire you or anyone else as a moderator, they already have more than enough people, to handle the couple hundred members the forum has right now.
edit:bah, blud posted before me.
lol well sushi the wish game is still on :] and you're supposed to corrupt the previous wish xD
lol i just have the habit of making full conversations online so i talk a lot like in real life.
lol i also lol a lot...(it's like my capital letter substitute)
anyways, in case you're ever in need of a moderator you guys can always ask me.

Lol, you really do talk a lot.
I dunno if they want someone as a mod who doesn't merge their double posts into one though. : shrug :
Anyways, they'll pick the mods from the most awesome(me) ppl in the forums(me).
So yea, they'll pick(me) who they want(me).
Just gotta be patient for the next mod(me) to be chosen.
hey, i'm trying to merge my posts as we speak (so to speak, i've already merged the previous post from 4 seperate posts)
[edit] hey how do you even know i don't merge my posts anyways? are you stalking me?! (jk)
Last edited by Ninjastik; 07-18-2007 at 07:08 AM.
Here's hoping this forum becomes as popular as I hope it will.
The decision should be made by the current staff.
Ive always been against sign up threads and believe if they want someone to be a mod they can offer the person a chance.
If Bluds, Woofcat and Umbra037 feel like they need hekp they will pick people until then just relax

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
