I don't understand how something like this could be passed. All a person has to say isArizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian cust****s...
"God doesn't approve of you!" and they can basically slam the door on people.
Not just LGBT people. It opens the door for infinite douche-baggery.
Ever been divorced?
Maybe not. Maybe your spouse just has a different skin tone?
Had an abortion?
Baby out of wedlock? Too bad single mommy doesn't get groceries!
Like to drink a little too much on weekends?
Yell "GOD DAMN!" when you stub your toe?
We'll if you are ever in Arizona, you may be f*cked.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|A girl and her dog
My other dog is a Chi-mix; about 10lbs. I watch him closely for signs of pain or displeasure. Last week there were a few yelps and I just had to give a sharp "HEY! AH AH!" and they stopped. This week, no yelps but I'm still watching them. I try to allow them as much as either can handle. Nonny will benefit far more from a genuine yelp from the Chi than he will from me fussing. I know they need that interaction to set boundaries.
So if the stalking is just play, I won't worry about it too much. It does seem that George (the Chi) is in on the game and knows he's enticing Nonny to come play. And the tail thing- we all laugh at that. I know it's a little mean to laugh about the little dog who thinks he's the boss of everything and constantly jockeying for top spot to get dragged around by his tail; but it's funny. The little guy's attitude makes it even funnier.
I have noticed that they both pin each other. It's not one sided, even though Nonny already outweighs George. He still lets George pin him and 'win' about half the time.
|Harry and Lola
As long as both are enjoying themselves and neither are fearful then leave them to play.
If you see one of them getting too rough and the other is getting scared or angry then you can step in and distract them with a toy to focus on.
Harry stalks and pounces on Lola all the time, with or without toys, it is good healthy play for them and when things get out of hand (which happens) I grap and toy and get them to focus on it.
Harry also waits for Lola to lay down, grabs a toy and encourages her to grab the other end then pulls and drags her all over the wooden floorboards - they love it.
You don't say what breed your other dog is, if a small breed then you are right in ensuring your GSD is aware of their size difference and to respect accordingly - this is something you should teach now and continue to reinforce as GSD gets older.
|A girl and her dog
Stalking and pouncing, Nonny might be a cat.
He's been doing this stalking thing with my other dog. It seems my other dog is baiting him and it's kind of a game. He'll grab up a toy, then go stand at a distance, and Nonny will fix on him, stand still, then slowly move towards him gradually speeding up then he pounces. He'll also pounce from the couch or the recliner! I first noticed this pouncing to be just when he wants a toy that the other has; he would pounce on top of the other and take the toy.
I'm pretty sure he's just playing, and obviously I have to watch out for roughhousing as my other dog is a Chi and could get hurt. I don't think it's a dangerous behavior, but I could be wrong. Again, outside of accidentally hurting the little dog.
I do stop them and intervene when the play is too rough or I think the little one may be about to be hurt. For instance, Nonny likes to drag the little dog around by his tail sometimes and sort of wrestle that way; the little one takes it in stride and plays back. I do have to intervene on this tail pulling thing b/c little guy could get hurt. I let it go until they start rolling around and Nonny still hasn't let go of the other's tail.
So, should I worry more than I am or just keep doing what I'm doing in keeping a close eye and refereeing?

Hello all,
I'm currently looking at studying a 4 week course in Spain and my initial preference was the Granada course affiliated with TEFL International.
This is based mainly on my desire to move to Granada and live there for a year or two, having recently visited and had a brilliant time there. After further research however, I can't really find many positive comments regarding the TEFL International courses in general, and the most globally recognised course appears to be the CELTA which unfortunately isn't offered in Granada.
The Granada course stipulates that the content eclipses the minimum standards suggested by the British Council which is encouraging but I can't find any independent reviews of the course from qualified teachers who have attended and gone on to successfully find jobs around the Granada area.
Obviously if I'm going to spend £1k+ I want the best for my money and I'm concerned that the Granada course may be seen as inferior to CELTA or Trinity courses by employers in Spain and around the world if I choose to move on in the future, even if the content is much the same. Is this a valid concern?
Ultimately I am flexible on where I study the course but in terms of location and where I would seek work afterwards I would strongly prefer Granada. Is it possible to provide any information or advice?
I'm planning on beginning the course in February so need to apply in the next few days so any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Goodbye to Cruelty Free Cosmetics
EU Ban on Animal Testing for Cosmetics Ingredients Conceals a Massive Increase in Animal Testing in Europe.
For decades the British public, along with concerned organisations and companies like Lush Cosmetics, have been calling for an end to animal testing for cosmetics. So the EU Cosmetics Directive ban on testing cosmetics ingredients on animals, which comes into force on 11th March, should be a day for celebrations. But we are now bracing ourselves for a massive increase in animal experiments under another EU regulation, REACH, which mandates that any ingredients not previously tested on animals have to undergo animal tests, totally contradicting the ban under the Cosmetics Directive and effectively spelling the end of cruelty-free cosmetics.
This completely undermines the spirit of this Directive, which was intended to put an end to animal testing for cosmetics once and for all. It is also contrary to what the public want and takes away consumer choice for non-animal tested products. All of this is happening quietly and out of the public eye, with most people already under the impression that animal testing for cosmetics is a shameful relic of the past.
The EU are behaving like Jekyll and Hyde - on the one hand telling us that we must not, under any circumstances, test cosmetic ingredients on animals, while on the other hand demanding that we commission new animal tests for these same ingredients. While Lush approve the aims of REACH (keeping dangerous chemicals out of the environment) we are utterly opposed to animal testing and refuse to pay or sanction cruel tests for the ingredients we us. Andrew Butler, LUSH Campaigns manager says:
"Today we should be uncorking the champagne after decades of calling for an end to animal testing for cosmetic ingredients. Unfortunately, European bureaucracy has blindsided us all and we are faced with the largest and most costly animal testing regime imaginable. The REACH chemical legislation could mean and end to all cruelty free cosmetics and the beginning of mandatory animal testing of everything. This is a hugely complex issue but we must all educate ourselces and be ready once again to take to the streets, to march, to protest and to petition against animal testing for cosmetics."

Fair Work launches crackdown on unpaid work
07/02/2013 , 4:44 PM by Jamie Burnett
Many people looking to land a long-term job in competitive industries are willing to do unpaid work for employers.
But how long is too long for an unpaid trial?
And when are people being exploited?
A new report prepared for the Fair Work Ombudsman has identified a growing trend in Australia, where job seekers are being made to work for unreasonably long trial periods, with no guarantee of employment.
ABC Mornings Geoff Hutchison spoke with Professor Andrew Stewart from the University of Adelaide's School of Law, who co-authored the report.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
This whole debate is ridiculous and just another example of Big Brother taking over every aspect of our lives including deciding for us how long we can do or not do something.
The assumption is that we are all stupid and not capable of deciding if we are being exploited or not.
Consider folks will you who writes these reports and why before going off down the path of zealous well meaning but without understanding.
Such so called reports are written by taxpayer funded bureaucrats for other taxpayer funded bureaucrats all of whom reside in a world best described as a "virtual reality".
These people aren't "real people" and they don't reside in the "real world". They represent the modern day equivalent of medieval religion. They are the new priests, wizards and templars and they are once again growing in power and threatening liberty.
Please stop giving them oxygen.

The E9X is the 4th evolution of the BMW 3 series including a highly tuned twin turbo 335i variant pushing out 300hp and 300 ft. lbs. of torque. BMW continues to show that it sets the bar for true driving performance! -- View the E9X Wiki

2010 335i - Highly Disappointed
I Just took delivery of my 2010 335i 2 days ago. This car was ordered in mid-December 2009. The options I got are Premium package, Sport package, Cold Weather package & Navigation System. The car set me back just about $50K.
My previous car with a 2007 335i with the same config but was missing the Nav.
The difference in the 2 cars is significant. The 2007 was a MUCH better car. In terms of quality, solidity and features. I just cannot get over the fact that the new car seems to be cheaper in build.
I am totally appalled at the features that have been yanked!!!
Seatback pockets gone - where to store stuff in the back - there is NO storage anywhere
Ashtray gone - I don't smoke but where to store change?
Ashtray power outlet moved to a very inconvenient location under the glove box!
Rechargeable flashlight gone!
Ability to use an adapter in the flashlight receptacle to get a 2 power outlets gone!
Cargo net hooks in the trunk gone - I regularly used the cargo net, now what do I do with my existing cargo net? Maybe I will send it to BMW as a gift!
Wiper Arms - cheap, flimsy looking spindly arms that do not do a BMW justice - the ones on the 2007 were solid! These ones are pretty sad
Seatbelt height adjusters gone! How does a short/tall driver adjust the seatbelt position?
Headrests modified to the point that they dont sit flush with the seat, rather remain at 1st notch. And they don't move forward and backward any more!
Seats - seem to be less padding and generally more uncomfortable!
Sound System - downgraded to a pathetic system that sounds like it is in a cardboard box. Sound clips at high volume. Weak bass. No oomph. Cannot hear the radio at max volume when sunroof and windows are open. The 2007 had the 10-speaker Professional system. This car has what appears to be a 4 (or 6?) speaker system. BMW has to be kidding. How can they justify this pathetic stereo in a $50K car? Of course I was not aware of the downgrade when I ordered the 2010. My sales rep was not either. I found out when I picked up the car and was driving home. Had I known when I placed the order, at least I would have opted for the upgraded sound system. I drive a lot and I like my music. My wife's Cayenne S has a stellar Bose system. The 335i system is like a boom box next to it. Disgusting that BMW can do this and get away with it. It is actually deceitful!
Handling - the 2010 335i does not feel as secure and as confident as the 2007. It seems lighter somehow. Feels more skittish and less poised on curves but that could be because the tires are still new and not broken into. I will report more on the handling after a few thousand miles.
I called customer relations. They promptly threw the dealership/my sales assassociate under the bus stating that these were "sales" issue and not "production or design" issues and they had the audacity to tell me that I should have thoroughly examined a 2010 showroom floor model BEFORE placing my order. They just gave me a bunch of baloney about "we reserve the right to make whatever feature changes we see fit....yada yada yada!" It is obvious that BMW does not really care about customer service/relationship otherwise they would NEVER have done this.
I wish I could give the car back. I cannot replace the stereo without voiding the warranty on the entire iDrive system. I know that BMW wont do anything. They simply don't care. So I am stuck with these missing features. That makes me feel cheated.
Am I the only one that has noticed these items? Is there anyone else out there that has comments on this?
Why did you let go of your 2007 335i? The '09 models forward have what BMW calls the "Active Headrest", so that's why they don't tilt forward and backward. I know it sounds kind of ironic. Hearing about the downgraded audio system makes me mad. I agree that it is totally unacceptable to have such low grade quality speakers for a car in this caliber. I have already read about several members in this forum who were unaware of the downgraded speakers, and it is just sad.
Just to add a few more deletions I can think of at the top of my head:
-Hood pad insulation gone
-Windshield band gone
-Cooler under armrest gone

If only there were a way to find out what features would be different for the 2010 model year before you purchase the car.... That sucks that you're not satisfied with your new purchase -- I'm all for getting your money's worth (especially when it's $50k) -- but let's look at what you're saying here. I'm sure you'll get over the flashlight thing and the missing nets/pockets. My 2008 has seatback pockets that never get used, I never got (and don't really see much use for) bungee nets in the trunk, and the flashlight is a tiny piece of junk. Maybe it's because mine isn't the fancy rechargeable one, but you can get a $10 mini MagLite and replace the 2 AA batteries once every two years (if not less often -- how often do you really use the flashlight from your glove box??). The Logic7 has been gone for some time now, I'm surprised the sales associate didn't tell you or it didn't tell you on the website. I bet the dealer would have let you test out a car in the lot that didn't have it. You're going to call BMW USA and complain because of a bungee net, headrests, and a $3 flashlight? Really? I can see being "totally appalled" with getting screwed out of something, but I'm guessing you're either overreacting or you need to borrow a dictionary and look that word up. Who knows, you might have the one car that slipped through the cracks at Quality Assurance and I'm completely wrong here, but personally I would just appreciate the fact that I just bought a really nice car that I had to wait a long time for.
Why'd you get rid of the 2007? Did you have problems with it?
Some of these can be fixed, a few can't. Sorry.
1. Sorry that you're not happy--that really sucks and I hope it changes with time.
2. I hope the build quality issue is just a feeling you have--I doubt BMW changed major components or things like metal or seal thickness but they may have done so to shave costs. That's a really interesting observation on your part and I hope you elaborate.
3. To be fair, if you're buying a $50k car, you really should look at the one on the floor, find out for yourself what the differences are, and generally be informed about the purchase.
4. Unfortunately, BMW has to cut costs when the dollar is weak against the Euro. Around the time your 07 was built, the USD was ~E0.80. When your 2010 was built, the USD was between E0.67 and E0.70. That's a huge difference. In general, beware of a product that remains unchanged in USD when the equivalent in the manufacturing/HQ country becomes much less. Something's gotta give, and it's usually quality, features, or service.

A few comments:
1) the hooks in the trunk cost about 20 bucks and you can order them from Tischler. I have to say that this deletion, along with the seat back nets, is just mind blowing for being so chintzy.
2) The seats are largely unchanged. I suggest the issue here is just getting used to a new car.
3) The headrest thing reflects new safety standards and active headrests. That change probably cost BMW quite a lot of money. It was hardly a cost cutting maneuver.
4) If you want more power points (other than the two that are already in the front cabin) this is easy to add. There is a mod at E90post. I agree that putting a power point under the glovebox is pretty dumb.
5) If you look in your armrest you will notice a few slots near where the cup holder used to be. Those are coin holders. Personally, I just keep a baggy filled with quarters in the glovebox for parking and such.
6) Many of us (myself included) think the new open cubby is pretty useful.
7) I seriously doubt the handling is different or that the car is less solid overall. I again suggest that might be about getting used to a new car.
Don't be mad a me for saying this, but I partially agree with BMW. If you are going to buy a new car, you should educate yourself about all the features that are available. Before I bought my new car, I made an effort to find out about everything that was added or subtracted from the previous model year. Changes do occur from year to year, and it is not like they made any effort to hid those changes from you.
Oh, and just so you know, there are few other items that you didn't notice. Open up your hood, and you'll notice the sound insulator pad is gone. You will also notice the "REST" button on the HVAC controls has been replaced by "ALL."
I am sorry the first few weeks of a your new car have been a downer.

Sell it?
There have been countless posts here (and on some other forums) about the differences in the versions. Had you made your homework, you would not be running back here, crying oh how bad BMW is... That's what showrooms are for and if next time you go in one of those planning on purchasing $50k car, please make sure that the functionality you use most is there... When you are at it, you may also check if BMW equips their cars with all 4 wheels... (or was it 5 in '07?)... I really do not get it, how did you buy this car? After looking at it in the catalog? And that can't be true, as the new 3-series catalog shows both the interior and exterior accurately. Quit whining, you bought it, you are a big boy, it is entirely your fault...
Ps. Do you think that if you have driven a '67 'vette and go into one of the Chevy dealers planning on purchasing a brand spanking new Z06, do you expect those to be the same? Please...

I have heard of buyer's remores but buyer's rage?
Me thinks you didn't test drive a 2010 model, though your SA should also have been more informed and pointed out changes to the 2010s compared to whatever car you test drove.
I hope a night of sleep makes you feel a bit happier about your new car. I have cargo hooks and an ashtray to offer if you want to do a 1 to 1 swap.
don't they give you those pen flashlights as a replacement for the rechargeable ones?

I do want to thank everyone for their comments.
A few more points:
I am sure that you read that I had the 2007 335i. I just repeated the order when the lease ended. I foolishly assumed that the car would remain the same for the most part. I can understand cost cutting due to the weaker dollar but sneakily removing stuff, well, in my book, that is sneaky. The biggest bummer is the radio. If I had any idea of the downgrade, I would have ordered the logic7. It would have added $800 to the car. Whats $800 on $50K? But the fact remains that BMW did not publicize the downgrade (why would they??) and the dealer claims that they were not specifically notified about the downgrade.
And no, I did not feel the need to check the 2010 floor model at the showroom from top to bottom and inside/outside and neither did I feel the need for a test drive. I wanted a stick and the dealer did not have a stick and I did not want to drive an automatic. So I did not. I did not turn the radio on at high volume and I certainly did not roll the windows down and open the sunroof and turn the radio on because i did not drive the car. Maybe I should have but the point I am trying to make is that all this information was not disclosed by BMW on their promo material or on the website. Especially the stereo. After all, we have come to expect a consistent level of quality from BMW over the years and I never expected this from BMW. Call me naive. I have learned my lesson.
I can live with the deletions. But not this pathetic, sad radio. And what sucks is that I am stuck with it.

Trust but always verify!
BMW decides to cheapen their brand on the back of small-cost details. It's ridiculous.
Talk to the dealer, they'll take it back if you get a M3 instead or a Series 6.
Do yourself that favor. You can also look at CPOs for these two models.
If not, sell it and buy something else.
$50K buys you a lot of power/ refinement, in particular in the secondary market. You could get a Maserati or a Porsche for that price.
I am sorry for your trouble.

Wait, BMW's not perfect? I bought a BMW! Oh no, that would mean that I'm not perfect! If I'm not perfect I must be an idiot! Also, 3 years is similar to 43 years in automotive technological advancements. No, BMW must be perfect after all. YOU'RE the idiot. Whew, now I can sleep at night.

Well....I got 9 of the 13 pieces cut out. My mom said I had to be done because my sister was going to bed and it was way too loud haha. Sigh...such is life. Anyway, the metal armor is crazy. I still have to do some hammering and tidying up of the edges, but it is awesome! Can't wait till it is all set.
Nice job man!
Here are some updated pics on the pieces I have cut out, shaped, etc. Just wait till they're polished. ;-) Yes, SEEKER, it feels great to make my own stuff. ;-) I was thinking, why didn't I just do this in the first place? It's way better looking, and also way cheaper. I never envisioned steel armor, but I am sure liking it! Yeah. Trial and error is the way it goes I guess.

looking really nice, man!
Just btw, I have to say a huge THANKYOU to all you guys here on TDH who have helped me out. Your tips, critiques, and advice is greatly appreciated and this costume would not be where it is right now if it hadn't been for your help. So thanks soooo much for all the help. And all the guys who have sold me stuff too, your products are insane, and they are exactly what I needed. Special thanks to Asok, Mullreel, SandySith, Cruzer, OBrotherRacing, MOW, GalacticBountyHunter, and so many more for all your advice, products and help. They are the go to guys for help with Jango! Really appreciate it guys.
Thanks again!
A guy like me (who has no experience) needs help from guys who know it all. And believe me, they know it all! ;-)

mhlayne...you're doing it right...taking advice and critics in stride and upgrading and learning. Accurate Costuming is difficult enough but tackling a Fett can be really trying. I had two fully finished costumes under my belt and worked on countless others for other people before taking on Jango. I congratulate you for going head full force. Keep those pics Coming!
Thanks for the gratitude, but I don't even belong in a list with those other names. I do appreciate it though. I am just trying to be a good citizen of the boards.
Keep up the good work.
awesome, awesome Great work, my friend
your build is awsome so far!! i just finished with my 1st one. its a boba. how come you posted some pics of rotj boba pouches? they look good btw
Oh haha. A guy asked to see some pics of them and I didn't want to have to create a whole new thread. ;-) Thanks!
So, yesterday I did a bunch of wet sanding on my helmet and then finished up with 0000 steel wool in the shower. ;-) Really smooth. I cut out the piece in the back for the keyslot piece. But, am struggling to figure out how to get the keyslots cut out. I have an exacto knife. But don't really see how that can get them out. I'm scared of using our Dremmel. SO...I am in a tight spot. What are hobby files (sandysith)? I rub n buffed my armor. Looks great on the cod piece, but on the metal, it almost comes right off when metal touches metal. So, I may end up taking it off. The color difference is not much. Got all my paints for the helmet and jetpack. Cool. Yeah that's the latest.
The hobby files are just really little files, they ususally come in a pack of 10 or so. I you are scared of the dremel on the key slots you can use a little drill bit on the dremel to poke several holes in the slots and then clean them up with the files. In the absence of the files you can use some sandpaper, say 220/320 or so, and just fold it a couple of times so that it is a bit rigid, then just use it like a file to clean the slots.
The only major benifit of the files is that they don't wear out like the sand paper, and they have a little handle.
So...the helmet is painted. Just one tiny area on one cheek to adjust. Nothing major. Man oh man do I love this helmet! Asok you rock! Now I just have to get the antenna and rangefinder all set, along with the keyslots and then finally pinstriping andthe visor! I love this helmet. I'm going to rub n buff the silver parts of the helmet as well.
Why do you want to RnB the silver parts?
unless the CC layers have worn through theres no need
The costume is coming together nicely
looking good
what colours did you use on the helmet
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't r+b the cold cast that is an atrocity. The CC is how it is supposed to look. That is what the real one was.
PLEASE don't r+b the CC.
You can do with some more sanding on the CC parts. Hit it with some 320 really well. I can tell on the back of the dome that it needs some more sanding, I can still see some of the tell tale signs from the mold.
Oh ok! Whoops. For some reason I was under the impression you did r and b it. Nevermind then. I won't let the r and b touch it. ;-) More sanding, eh? Yeah I'll get on that. Yeah there's one like, hump thing on the dome, I was worried about sanding too much. But then, probably not enough. :-) Thanks for saving me. That's what you're here for!!
What I can see is a little spot on the back that has kinda a 3 leaf clover look. It is right at the back of the dome as it slopes down. If that is still readily visible then you can sand some more for sure. You don't have far to go and I would use probably about a 320 to a 400 to hit it then back off to 800 and then hit it with some metal polish. See what you think about it after that.
Most of the rest of it looks pretty good in the pics
I used Krylon shortcuts Ocean Blue. Took me forever to find that! Then a mixture of a couple Valspars to get the other blue. Yuppers. Could not find rustoleum royal blue. Went to about 10 different places. But I think the blues are where they should be. I think. ;-) It's such a nice helmet. Sooo nice. Still have much to do on it.
So! Here are some pics of my vest with the armor attached. With snap fasteners. And I'll add some velcro too. Just have to attach the shoulders. And then the backplate. My MOW jetpack is assembled. Waiting on a harness, then I'll cut the strap slots and then begin painting! Yeah! I love my steel armor.
And my vest is NOT black. It's grey. ;-)
Looking good!
Dude, you work soooo fast!! Seems like everytime I look you have something new to show us. nice work, WTG!

WAYNE, N.J. — Toys"R"Us has stepped up its efforts to be the destination for holiday shopping this season by offering a price match guarantee on all items available in its Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us stores nationwide.
Now through Christmas Eve, the company will match competitors' in-store pricing on identical items, any time a customer presents a local competitors' current, valid print advertisement showing the item available for less. In addition, if a customer finds an item sold in Toys"R"Us or Babies"R"Us stores available for less on Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com, the company will match the online price.
"We offer great pricing throughout the season, with special deals and sales daily in the weeks leading up to Christmas. And now, with the addition of price match guarantee, our customers can have no doubt they are getting the best competitive value at Toys"R"Us this holiday," said Richard Barry, SVP, chief merchandising officer Toys"R"Us, U.S. "This assurance, combined with an unbeatable in-stock position on the hottest toys kids want, should compel anyone shopping for a child this Christmas to ask – 'Why shop anywhere else for toys? Why?'"

Another player-for-player trade has been made official during the draft. It contains players who most likely would have been cut if no trade had been worked out, but here it is: The Patriots sent a seventh-round pick in this draft and running back Jeff Demps to the Buccaneers for running back LeGarrette Blount .
Fantasy Analysis:
The fantasy values here are close to nil. Demps, a silver medalist in the 2012 Olympics, wants to play football, but he has made it clear that he is first concentrated on running track. If he gets on the football field, he could be a gimmick player for the Bucs, but there's no guarantee that he'll ever see playing time. Tampa Bay needs to get a better backup behind Doug Martin.
Same goes for Blount. He looked great as a rookie in 2010, gaining more than 1,000 yards and averaging five yards per tote. Since then, he has become a supremely frustrating player to watch. He has the body of a goal-line back, but he doesn't score many touchdowns. The Patriots already have Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen entrenched. Blount will be fighting for No. 3 RB duties.

hello all,
My name's Lucas... I signed up to this forum because I am interested in learning more about Theravada. I've been practising as a buddhist in the soto zen tradition for some time, but my interested in Theravada was piqued when I learned that it places more explicit focus on renunciation of worldly pleasures... I've often felt that the importance of stepping back from our consumer-addicted lifestyles is not given enough attention here in the US... I'm not speaking here of extremes of asceticism, of course... but I feel that what the Buddha was describing as the 'middle way' would really mean some significant renunciation by the standards of the average Western consumer... it's all too easy to say 'the middle way doesn't mean extreme asceticism, therefore I don't have to give up anything' (i've heard variations on that refrain many times) but I feel in reality the 'middle way' does require, at the very least, consuming less and simplifying my life... otherwise how can I really become less consumed by craving and grasping?
I'd like to hear from people here on the forum if:
1 I'm right in thinking Theravada does place more emphasis on renunciation?,
2. if you'd have any recommendations of the main schools/lineages that it might be worth my investigating? [/list]
Thanks so much, from a zen buddhist in New York...

Did we really need another Pulseaudio/SystemD thread?
No announcement yet.
KMSCON Is Getting Ready To Kick The Kernel Console
new posts
I'm pretty excited for this to get some traction. We will get full featured, hardware accelerated consoles. I imagine that Valve and the linux gaming community at large are cheering for this kind of development. I don't think we'll be seeing console software much more that we see been developed today, but mplayer, maybe SDL, with a KMS console support would be great.
As a gentoo user, I can't say anything about systemd. Although I also use Ubuntu, "it just works" and I don't mind about the under the hood things, like I care when it concerns my gentoo box. On the other hand, I have some experience with pulseaudio. I have two negative points about ALSA:
1- Who the hell invented that configuration file syntax? Did anyone actually thought it would be usable? Is there even an accessible manual for that? I was at a loss when messing with ALSA, I always ended up copying someone else snippets, without knowing what I was doing. Please, point me to some documentation if there is any. I like their online database of hardware configurations, etc, it was a very good idea, but the configuration is just an immense pain in the ass. I'd rather have pulseaudio mess with that.
2- Can ALSA switch output devices on the fly? May I swap the output device of my mp3 from the laptop internal speakers to the recently connect tv, through an hdmi cable? I could do that with Windows, I can do that with PulseAudio. Can I do that with ALSA? Never got it to work.

|Looking forward to it.....
|I think you are right I will pass on this boat. I am also looking at a catalina 27 which is better because it is a decade newer. I will post some pics of the catalina and description and see what you guys on the board think.
I would highly recommend you take a pass on this boat. You can get a boat in much better shape for only a tiny bit more money. Then you would spend your first season sailing, rather than restoring the boat. For instance, from another sailing forum:
1968 Morgan 24 For Sale, North Sails, 4hp Mariner, Battery Charge, VHF, B & G Instruments, Walker Bay Dinghy-All in decent shape.-$2500.b/o Boat is in Harpswell Maine. Mast Step, and Spring Launch included.-Ken-978-578-1783
Looks very tired. Really, this is a function of your money, your time and your skill. If this is all the boat you can afford, you won't have the money to fix it up, and you will never get your money back if you sell it. So get used to that right away. If you don't have the skill, you'll have to learn and make mistakes (takes time and money) or hire someone to do it (more time, more money). The good news is that almost anything on a good old fibreglass boat can be remedied and renewed. The bad news is that it is hardly ever worth it after a certain amount of decrepitude has set in. You'd be better off getting a newer boat or a boat that had been kept up more carefully. This usually means finding estate sale boats where one owner bought a small, well-found cruiser in the late '60s or early '70s, took great pride and care in its upkeep, and died, leaving it to non-sailing children for whom the boat was a hot, stuffy place that reeked of seasick and "when can we go home, Dad?"
There are many, many boats with this story coming available all the time as the 1965-85 generation of small boat buyers becomes too old to sail or have died. Those boats might sail very well and might be very comfortable for a couple, but to many modern eyes they appear cramped and primitive.
This is better for you, obviously. Try to visit a lot of boat clubs and marinas and see if "for sale" signs are tacked to their corkboards. You may easily find something a lot better than that in the "make me an offer" category.
|Yeah you did mention the osmosis missed it, sorry

I believe I did say this in my first post, if you read it carefully.
As has already been said, If your able to make repairs yourself and like doing that type of work, than it MIGHT be a good fit for you.
Cals in general are good quality boats. But you would have to invest a lot of time and money in this one to get her back in shape.
If your looking for a boat to sail this spring, than keep looking.
|Well I am looking at 27' boats as well. But I was just wondering about this 30' to see what it was like since it was local. But I guess its a bad bet though
The early Cal models are some of my favorites, so I certainly think the 30-2 is a good boat to buy. You need to look closely at whether this particular one is worth $5K or anything at all. The cosmetics are very poor. If the engine runs and mast/rigging/sails are in satisfactory condition, it might be worth a few thousand as is. Then consider the repairs needed. Would you be able and willing to do the repairs yourself? If no, move on because the cost of yard work would quickly put you upside down financially in a boat like this. If the major components are operable, and you can do repairs, offer a few thousand and see.
If your offer is accepted, have a survey to find if the deck or cabin sole, or anything else needs repair. Have an engine mechanic survey the engine. If you feel very comfortable that you can do all necessary repairs, close the deal and start your project...otherwise walk away.
If you are careful you still run a big risk of ending up spending more than the boat will ever be worth, unless you are confortable sailing the nautical equivalent of a pigsty. Realize that new cushions, a sail or two, replacement instruments, new batteries, can quickly add up to $10K, and totally ignoring your time and sweat, it wont be hard for this boat to end up cosing as much or more than one like this, YachtWorld.com Boats and Yachts for Sale= but never be as nice. I do believe that the surest path to a boat bargain is to pay the cost of just buying one the way you want it, if you need to take a 10 year loan to do so, you still make out in the end. This board is well populated with threads started by buyers of project boats, subsequently populated with periodic stories of $$ surprises, and then stopping as the owner decides not to talk about it anymore, or quits boating.
|Is there some reason you want THAT boat? You could find an older Catalina 25 with a lot of new equipment for the same money.

Well, Skipper, unfortunately you're wrong on so many levels with that last post there is no sense in responding to the in-duh-vidual attacks.
Keep believing that you can be negatively buoyant; maybe someday you will be.
As for questioning what I do for a living; I'm a Mechanical Engineer, double majored in college, which required study of physics and applied science for 4 years, and interned at a national lab while attending college. I'm pretty much certain I know what I'm talking about on this subject; do you Skip?
Neg Buoyancy...
I reject your reality and substitute my own... NEGATIVE BUOYANCY does exist and is a commonly accepted term.
I don't know you, Keelhaulin. I've never met you and don't know your background. I suspect you are an AIG executive or worked as a financial manager for G.M. If I'm wrong, with your logic, you should consider applying for such positions. I think you'd do well! Heck, you might even be delusional enough to think the taxpayers love giving you bonus money!
Here is a very basic example. You have two apples. You promise to give a friend three apples. How many apples do you really have? ... (Basic example of a NEGATIVE number!) You keep saying you have a positive number of apples, and the rest of us believe the correct answer to be "-1."
I'm pretty sure you've never taken a SCUBA diving class, or even been below the surface of water where you were less than neutrally buoyant. For anyone considering passing a SCUBA class; you have to believe there is a term for when you sink...that term would be
Now, if you are arguing semantics and think the term "Negative Buoyancy" doesn't exist...please do an internet search. When I Googled to define the term, there were 995,000 results...including a very good WIKIPEDIA result.
However, I believe the term "Zero Buoyancy" is not correct and "Neutral Buoyancy" is the term that should be used.
Sorry I had to attack you so badly Keelhaulin, but when you posted we should teach out children something that is incorrect I had to come back to correct things.
Skipper, J/36 "Zero Tolerance"

Take this example:
A diver who is neutrally buoyant tries to retrieve a friend's weight belt from the bottom. The weight belt weighs 10 lbs. When he picks the belt up off of the bottom; the diver cannot swim to the surface because he now has a total weight that is more than his buoyant force. Did the diver LOSE any buoyancy?
The answer is:
No, he did not lose buoyancy. He gained mass and his buoyant force remained the same. His buoyancy never became "negative"; he was no-longer buoyant enough to be able to return to the surface. If the diver had an air bladder he would increase his buoyancy by adding air to the bladder; offsetting the additional weight.
an object has negative buoyancy when it weighs more than the water it displaces, and as such will sink.
Again; the physics of it is that there is no such thing as negative buoyancy. Buoyant force is always in opposition to the pull of gravity; and it's regardless of the density of the item that is submerged. Salt water weighs ~8 lbs per gallon; so if you displace a volume of 1 gallon whatever is taking the place of the water will weigh ~8 lbs/gallon less in water.
Now measure the force the block is pulling on the line and you have the force of NEGATIVE BUOYANCY!
Negative buoyancy does exist
OK, you take a block of aluminum, attach a line onto it and drop it into the water. The block will sink until the line stops it. Now measure the force the block is pulling on the line and you have the force of NEGATIVE BUOYANCY!
Now, immagine you are a SCUBA diver in a wet suit. The wet suit contains small bubbles of air. You dive to a given depth and then begin returning to the surface. The closer you get to the surface, the less pressure is exerted on the bubbles and the more they expand (the more bouyancy your wet suit will have). In other words, the closer to the surface the faster your ascent will be. But, SCUBA divers have this thing called a BCD (Buoyancy Compensation Device) which is really nothing more than a vest that can be inflated or deflated. A SCUBA diver, wearing a wet suit, knows about buoyancy and will let air out if the ascent needs to be slowed.
SCUBA divers quickly learn about buoyancy--positive, neutral, and NEGATIVE--because it takes energy to overcome the forces.
KeelHaulin, not meaning to attack you...but you would have us believe a graph of buoyancy would be a parabola, or a curve (in the least) that would never reach zero. From having done diving, I can not accept this. As a matter of fact, just yesterday I was Neutrally Buoyant at a depth of eight feet. If a took a deep breath I ascended, and if I breathed shallow I sank...yep, I could make myself NEGATIVELY buoyant.
Back to our watercraft... Because the air contained within the craft can not compress, depth would not change its characteristics. Since the pictures show said craft, at rest, with a portion of it sticking out of the water (not just at the surface)...it has to have some Positive buoyancy in the liquid it was placed. It is possible the watercraft would have positive buoyancy in salt water but sink in fresh water. I wonder if there are warnings stating which type of water to launch the thing into?
Again, just my thoughts...as I've witnessed things...
Skipper, J/36 "Zero Tolerance"
Positive buoyancy wins. It would not hold up the weight of itself and the crew if it did not have positive buoyancy. If the boat had nuetral Buoyancy then the weight of the crew would sink it even lower untill the water pressure increased to where it would go no further.
it is obvious the people who said zero buoyancy do not understand buoyancy. Maybe we should introduce them to Archimedes
Originally Posted by J36ZT View Post

In example if you put a block of solid aluminum in the water and it's weight is 10 grams, and the volume of water it displaced weighed (appx) 5 grams, it would sink because it needs 5 grams more buoyant force. If you had a scale on it it while submerged it would register 5 grams because the buoyant force is still there but only providing 1/2 of the needed force (it's not negative, it just is not big enough).
Take the same mass of aluminum as a foil and shape it into a shell or "boat" shape and it will float; because the shape allows there to be a displaced volume of water with air in it's place (much less dense than water). The displacement of the water allows the aluminum shell to float and it's the amount of water displaced is exactly the weight of the shell. If you add weight to the aluminum boat it will sink gradually with the additional displacement equaling the amount of weight added; and that's considered "reserve buoyancy".
The frame-only sailboat appears to be close to neutral buoyancy. The tubular carbon fiber displaces water and allows it to just barely float. The styrofoam pontoons are probably for reserve buoyancy (to be sure it won't sink).
Sailingdog is right
Neutral Buoyancy means it will stay at a given depth (even if right at the surface). Negative Buoyancy means it will sink (at that depth).
By this strict definition, I'd say the "boat" actually has a slight Positive Buoyancy. If it truely had "Zero Buoyancy," no part of it would be above the surface of the water...not even the mast.
Just my thoughts...
Skipper, J/36 "Zero Tolerance"
|Zero buoyancy is neutral and it will neither sink nor float, but stay where it is put until other forces work on it. To sink, without external forces working on it, it would have to have NEGATIVE buoyancy.

Wayne Law moot court team makes 'best showing ever' in international tournament
Wayne State University Law School's five-member team, dubbed "the famous ladies of Wayne State," finished 18th in the world, and third-year student Rachel Hom, chancellor of the team, finished as seventh best speaker in the world in the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court competition held earlier this month.
The Wayne Law teammates — Kaitlyn Cramer, Jessica Wayne, Bonsitu Kitaba, Klaudia Nikolli and Hom — competed against 111 other law school teams from 82 nations, from Afghanistan to Venezuela, in Washington, D.C., where the final round of the 2013 Jessup competition took place. In February, the Wayne Law women won the Midwest regional tournament in Chicago. The final 111 teams in Washington were honed from 631 law schools in 92 countries that competed in preliminary Jessup rounds.
This year, the 54th season for the world's largest and most prestigious moot court competition, teams from Bahrain, Iran, Macau, Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago participated for the first time.
"The Wayne team came away from the Jessup tournament with a set of remarkable accomplishments," said Professor Gregory Fox, faculty advisor to the team and director of the Program for International Studies at Wayne Law. "After finishing 18th in the world in the preliminary rounds, they faced India in the first elimination round. Unfortunately, we lost the round by one point out of nine possible points. But the loss had an important post-script: The Indian team went on to win the entire tournament. So we came very close to beating the world champion. As far as we know, this is the best showing ever by a Wayne Jessup team."
Law School Dean Jocelyn Benson thanked the students and the many faculty members who worked with the team all year for their hard work and contributions to the team's preparation. The team also was assisted by Miller Canfield senior litigation partners Frederick Acomb, Thomas Cranmer, Joseph Galvin (a 1971 Wayne Law alumnus) and Clarence Pozza, who judged several of its practice rounds.
"I am immensely proud of these exceptional students who have earned a great achievement," Benson said. "They have mastered some very difficult international law issues and developed skills they will use for the rest of their careers."
The teammates are still "ecstatic," and were "incredibly overwhelmed" when their names were called during the awards ceremony, Hom said. "It was the best time of my life," Nikolli said.
"The executive director of the International Law Student Association (which administers the competition) referred to us as 'the famous ladies of Wayne State,' a nickname she gave us at the regional rounds in Chicago," Hom said. "As proud as I am to be a member of this all-female team, it was amazing to see similar all-female teams from countries such as Taiwan, Ethiopia and Iran, in particular."
Wayne Law has a long tradition of success in the Jessup competition, where students represent countries in a fictional case before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. This year's Jessup "problem" addressed the consequences of global climate change on statehood, migration and sovereign debt. The scenario focused on a debt-ridden island nation that was swallowed by the ocean, forcing its people to relocate and causing its remaining funds to be seized.
For the competition, students prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the fictional problem case, engaging the teammates in legal research as well as preparing written submissions to a court and presenting oral arguments in a courtroom setting. Wayne Law's team finished 19th in the world this year for best brief.
"The Jessup is something much larger than a moot court competition," Hom said. "It represents the evolving world realities and the direction that international law is heading, leaving it up to the students to implement the changes we'd like to see. At the onset of the week, we were all given notebooks with this reminder: 'In the future, world leaders will look at each other differently because they first met here as friends.'"
And after all the hard work, the competitors got a chance to unwind and socialize during several events, including the Go National Ball, where team members dress in traditional garb from their home countries.
"Friends from Uganda, Indonesia and many Asian and African teams went all out in full traditional dress, and were teaching us some of their traditional dance moves," Hom said. "In return, we were teaching them how to 'Dougie.' We recognize that was not a fair trade. The Wayne team dressed up as the Tigers baseball team, and Professor Fox held out as a Red Sox player. It was just a great event to observe and be a part of.
"We just feel lucky to be a part of this whole experience, and give endless thanks to the Wayne Law faculty and Detroit area attorneys for volunteering their time, effort and financing to allow us to get here."
Note: Tryouts for next year's Wayne Law Jessup team are scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. April 12 in the Moot Courtroom of the Law School Building. For more details, contact Nikolli at 519-990-9457 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey folks, new here, looking for some advice to pass along to my son, who owns a 56 Dodge pickup. Going thru the brakes, routine springtime maintenance sort of thing, has not been done before by him since purchasoing the truck.He got the fronts apart without issue, and all looked fine. The rears have been a different story. He cannot seem to get the rear drums off. He has adjusted the pads as loose as possible, tried penetrating oil around the axle hub, tried a puller, still won't come off. Just wondering if we are missing something. Anyone out there got one of these, and been through this before?Thanks for any hints.
what type of puller do you have...the hubs are on TIGHT...i hate to send you off site. but this covered it well..http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=508727&highlight=pullerremove nut... but not all the way..tighten puller ... hit end of puller bolt with hammer to shock hub off axle...you will probably want to search out an axle thread repairing device if the end of the axle is mushroomed slightly..i had one of the OTC 3 leg pullers... i actually ordered 2 extra legs for mine.. so i could bolt it to all 5 studs... really helped.. i still run across one of the extra legs once in a while.. somebody made off with my puller...
Sometime there is just enough rust deposit around the Axle, and th Drum. If a rust buster won't get it. You may want to use some heat around the I.D. of the brake drum. Try to stay on the Drum not the Axle, as that will make matters worse. Try using a wire brush around the I.D. of the brake Drum. Maybe just persaverence and a BFH does the trick. But you risk bending the brake drum. I think we have all been there. Good LuckBob
sabarrI apoligize I gave you some wrong information. The thread I used for help was also a thread someonelse posted as incorrect. It goes to show me even at my age I can still learn....Bob

Well, once again, before I even complete my costume, I get unhappy with pieces and go making new ones. My first pair of gloves turned out ok, but I was never quite happy with them. I used the poly fiber batton pieces instead of the loose stuff, made the finger back pieces a little smaller than I liked, then I weathered them way too much. Here was version 1-
Not bad gloves, but not quite what I wanted after spending more time here, looking at reference pics, and learning.
So this past weekend I started on version 2. Crazy4BobaFett (Christi) was kind enough to provide me some tackle twill scraps a while back, so I used them to make the patches. All patches are hand sewn, then stuffed with poly fiber (old pillow I tore open). Got the left glove done, minus weathering. Gloves are tedious and time consuming. People that make and sell gloves, earn every penny that they charge, believe it. Anyways here is version 2 so far-

As we get ready to put this issue of HT to bed, the tech blogs are lighting up with dialogue about the Romanians who in mid-September plead guilty to participating in a hacker ring that stole credit card data from hundreds of U.S. merchants, including Subway restaurants. From 2009 through 2011, the hackers stole data from more than 146,000 cards, amounting to $10 million-plus in losses.
The hackers gained access by first scanning the Internet to identify U.S.-based POS systems with certain remote desktop software installed, and then used the remote applications to log into the targeted POS, crack passwords, and snag credit card data via keystroke loggers or "sniffers." Remote desktop software is often used by small businesses to enable tech support on their systems from off-site, and often third-party, providers.
Tech best practices tell us remote access is a vulnerable point of entry. We also know that passwords should be changed regularly, and never to use default passwords. All too often, however, merchants' systems are left exposed by such practices. PCI requirements are complex and U.S. payment technology is inherently vulnerable. Adding even more complexity, franchised environments are particularly susceptible when owners disregard corporate best practices.
This example reminds us not only to change our passwords, but that due diligence is a necessary component to security. In a time when competitive advantage is built by compiling relevant consumer information, and many merchants are readily embracing the opportunity to leverage personal data — including but not limited to a consumer's preferred method of payment —
diligence is more important than ever.

Educating Oneself: Carnegie Libraries
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie gave grants for 20 libraries in Maine between 1897 and 1912, specifying that the town own the land, set aside funds for maintenance, have room to expand -- and offer library services at no charge.
Among the Lungers: Treating TB
Tuberculosis -- or consumption as it often was called -- claimed so many lives and so threatened the health of communities that private organizations and, by 1915, the state, got involved in TB treatment. The state's first tuberculosis sanatorium was built on Greenwood Mountain in Hebron and introduced a new philosophy of treatment.
Westbrook Seminary: Educating Women
Westbrook Seminary, built on Stevens Plain in 1831, was founded to educate young men and young women. Seminaries traditionally were a form of advanced secondary education. Westbrook Seminary served an important function in admitting women students, for whom education was less available in the early and mid nineteenth century.

GOP strategist Blakeman said Pelosi gave "aid and comfort" to Assad, called her "the Neville Chamberlain of our time"
On the April 6 edition of MSNBC News Live, while discussing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) recent meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in Damascus, Republican strategist Brad Blakeman said that Pelosi "abandoned her post up on Capitol Hill" and went to Syria "to give aid and comfort to him [Assad] instead of funding our troops."
Blakeman later called Pelosi "the Neville Chamberlain [1] of our time." Chamberlain was the British prime minister who signed the Munich Agreement ceding the Czech Sudetenland to Nazi Germany.
The U.S. Constitution states that "Treason against the United States [2] shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
From the 3 p.m. ET hour of the April 6 edition of MSNBC News Live:
MIKA BRZEZINSKI (anchor): And the barbs are flying from both sides, but is anyone really behaving badly, as the vice president suggested?
BLAKEMAN: Well, you know where she should be? She should be right behind me. She abandoned her post up on Capitol Hill. She did not get a funding bill to the president that the president could sign, which funds our troops. Instead, where does she go?
She goes to the belly of the beast -- to the terrorists themselves in Syria to give aid and comfort to him, instead of funding our troops, which need to carry on the fight in Iraq.
BRZEZINSKI: All right, let me ask Brad a question. The Syrian leader did seem receptive to the House speaker. Was it just a show, do you think?
BLAKEMAN: Oh, he's playing her like a fiddle. Look at the coverages that he is using for his own benefit -- not only in his country -- but in Iran and in the rest of the Middle East. They played Pelosi like a fiddle, and quite frankly, she's the Neville Chamberlain of our time.

The Division of Youth Services (DYS) was created to serve the needs of those youth adjudicated to the Indiana Department of Correction. DYS provides services for all 92 counties in the state of Indiana, providing secure care in the (6) juvenile facilities and providing re-entry services, parole, and community placement oversight. DYS is committed to providing youth services in the least restrictive setting and to continually work towards enhancing the services we provide to the youth in our care, several major reform efforts have been undertaken which underscores our commitment and dedication to assist and foster positive developments in the field of juvenile justice. Through these efforts and future collaborations with juvenile justice stakeholders throughout the state of Indiana, we will work to improve the level of juvenile services provided to the youth in our care, and assist in improving services throughout all levels of the juvenile justice system. In so doing, we believe we can improve the lives and futures of these youth, and reduce both juvenile and adult recidivism rates.
With this philosophy in mind, our Division of Youth Services (DYS) will oversee all aspects of Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) juvenile care. We recognize that impacting the lives of troubled youth requires separate adult and juvenile services. DYS has established a new division logo portraying the words Accountability, Beliefs and Commitment. DYS has adopted the Balanced and Restorative Justice Model (http://ojjdp.ncjrs.org/pubs/implementing/foreword.html) to serve as the foundation and core beliefs in providing juvenile justice services. The core beliefs of this model will provide the overarching, guiding principle for facility operations, treatment programs, youth development, and community re-entry. DYS recently established new vision and mission statements and we will always strive to uphold our Guiding Principles and the foundations of our beliefs and to promote youth development in a Calm Profession Respectful (CPR) manner.
DYS Vision
Our DYS vision is to positively impact the future of Indiana's delinquent youth to foster responsible citizenship.
DYS Mission
Our DYS mission is focused on community protection, accountability, beliefs that foster responsible community living and competency development.

[Verse 1]
Heavy-hearted, light-headed
I had cold feet, I was hot under the collar
Was eager for my slice of Americana
Picket fence, 2.5 kids, back yard, pitch a tent
I would pitch a tent, every time I pictured your magnificence
Took a whiff just to sniff your scent
You was heaven sent but I was hell-bent on helping
But you haven't asked for my help, when I asked for myself
And your answer was withheld
That was bad for my health
You just had to be held, I just had to rebel, we were just bound to repel
Sick and tired, intertwined for the time, it would tell
Save the toying for Matel, Not for toying with my head, I don't know, head or tails
But I know very well, things were going very well, ain't no faulting what we felt
I ain't like every male...
[Verse 2]
Does she love me or she love me not?
I asked the petals from her flower in the flowerpot
But now that flower's shot
I had to cop another flower from the flower spot
Does anybody have a hunch when not to allow too much when you allow a lot?
I want the key, I'm not empowered by the power lock
While seeking insight in a tightened knot
Dont be surprised to find your insides tied in knots
I give you all I got, but is it all for the crotch? is it all a crook{?}?
Why am I watching clocks?
Why am I hatching plots?
I'm full of doubt
Why would I be so worried about pulling out if I was pulling out all the stops?
Before I met you I was barely wearing matching socks
But now I actually style them...
[Verse 3]
We're like day and night
I'm not saying to be in love you have to be alike
But how can we be in love not even be in like?
We are lying
You take anything as a slight{?} to think I'm out of line
We're both stars and we're both bright but we are not aligned
I used to think you was out of sight, want to make you mine
Nowadays I want you out of sight and out of mind
But not all the time
So I invest a lot of time in trying to turn the tide
I think that was worth the try
I mean, I thought you were the perfect person on the birth trail
So there's my diatribes
That's how I pay my pride
Through these trying times
I'm down to swallow pride
But I got to follow signs
This entire song tells the story of a very intense, yet dysfunctional, love affair – the immediate attraction, the fights, the doubt, the part where you give but you don't get anything in return, the broken heart and the countless ways we try to mend it.
