I am a little surprised this one got rejected. I'm not sure how stringent Pokemon is with trademarks, but I don't think this design screams "POKEMON" to the extent that it would risk legal action for Woot.

I had to get away from the whole clothing angle in case that was what got it rejected (since a number of those exist). I tried to take a different angle on it. If they consider the word "potty" and a drawing of a toilet to be "super gross or offensive" then I live in the wrong decade.
In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. 9 votes on a Tuesday isn't going to get my back into the fog.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The weather was damp and dark at Tom Black Track on Sunday afternoon, but the University of Tennessee's Kameisha Bennett turned in the brightest performance of her career. On the final day of the 2004 Gatorade Classic, the senior from Dayton, Ohio, won the 800-meter run and charted the fastest clocking by a Lady Vol in that event in 14 seasons.
Bennett, running in a heavy drizzle on a gray day with temperatures hovering in the mid to low 50s, logged a career-best mark of 2:02.59 to claim Tennessee's most impressive victory of the two-day meet. Her recording was the fastest outdoors by a Lady Vol since Jasmin Jones ran 2:00.24 en route to runner-up honors at the 1990 NCAA Outdoor Championships meet in Durham, N.C. It also ranks the UT senior second in the nation among the NCAA Division I ranks and charts her as the 10th fastest in the world and third-fastest American woman at this point in the season.
The mark, which surpassed any time that Lady Vol NCAA and SEC indoor champion Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) has ever run, indoors or out, earns Bennett a spot in the NCAA Mideast Regional meet in Baton Rouge, La., on May 28-29. Three other Lady Vol 800-meter runners notched qualifying marks in Sunday afternoon's gloomy conditions, including third-place Lindsay Hyatt (Auburn, Calif.) in a season-best 2:07.59, fifth-place Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) in a career-best 2:09.29, and sixth-place Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) in a career-best 2:09.64. They join Cook and freshman Leslie Treherne (Chesapeake, Va.), who earned regional berths earlier in the season, and give UT six potential entries in the 800 at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium. The Lady Vols now have 13 athletes qualified in 11 different events for the regional competition.
"Kameisha's performance today was outstanding," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "To run the second-fastest time in the country - she is really coming into her own. She has been doing very well the past several weeks, so what she did today is not surprising to me. She continues to make good progress, and we look forward to more good things in the future with her and the rest of our team."
In the 1500 meters, Cook barely missed the regional qualifying standard in a second-place finish. The junior crossed the line in 4:29.80, coming up short of the 4:29.12 NCAA mark. Other Lady Vol finishers included sophomore Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.) in fourth at 4:35.91, senior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) in fifth at 4:36.77, sophomore Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) in eighth at 4:47.27, redshirt freshman Carly Matthews (Winston-Salem, N.C.) in ninth at 4:53.97 and freshman Leslie Treherne (Chesapeake, Va.) in 11th at 5:08.68. All but Flaute posted career-best times.
Guliford returned to the oval later in the afternoon and bagged an easy victory in the 3000 meters, an event that is not contested at the NCAA outdoor meet. Her 9:56.08 readout placed her comfortably ahead of runner-up Southers, who kicked hard down the stretch to finish in 10:06.81. Matthews was fourth in a PR run of 10:09.37.
Freshman Edra Finley (Mobile, Ala.) captured her first victory during the outdoor campaign, winning the 100-meter hurdles in 14.91. Sophomore Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.) was third in a career-best 15.81, while sophomore Catherine Wright (Knoxville, Tenn.) was fourth at 16.19.
In the pole vault, sophomore Kendra Rhyne (Andersonville, Tenn.) braved treacherous conditions to claim her first collegiate outdoor triumph. Her clearance of 11-9.75/3.60m was no small feat, considering the rain-slicked surfaces. Classmate Jessica Andrews (Rockford, Tenn.) navigated the bar at 11-3.75/3.45m to tie for second, while sophomore Jessica Reust (Knoxville, Tenn.) and redshirt freshman Ashley Rice were unable to clear a height.
Junior Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Ontario, Canada) picked up a pair of victories on Sunday, winning the 100 meters in 11.86 and coming back later in the day to take the 200m title in 24.35. In relay action, the UT 4x100m combination of Olupona, junior Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.), freshman Tianna Madison (Elyria, Ohio) and Treherne appeared to be on target for a season-best reading until hand-off troubles on the second exchange slowed things down considerably and allowed Auburn to win 45.78 to 46.82.
Tennessee's "A" 4x400m quartet made amends for the earlier lapse, winning the meet's final race in 3:36.68 with Gorham, Cook, Bennett and Treherne on board. The Big Orange "B" foursome, which included Novak, Hyatt, redshirt freshman Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas) and Southers, took fourth at 4:02.77.
In a couple of throws events, junior Sara Vigil (Tucson, Ariz.) stretched the tape to 38-10.25/11.84m to grab third-place honors in the shot put, while Ward was fourth at 36-3/11.05m and Finley was fifth in a personal-best 28-2.25/8.59m. In her first time throwing the javelin in competition, Reust landed a legal stick of 94-7/28.83m to garner third. Ward was fourth at 78-7/23.96m, Andrews was fifth at 78-0/23.77m and Finley was sixth at 73-5/22.37m.
"The weather wasn't perfect, but our athletes came out with good attitudes and got some things done today," Clark said. "We added a few more to the regional list and continued our sharpening for the SEC meet. You always want to do more, but overall it was a solid day."
Tennessee is idle next weekend but will continue preparations for the Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships on May 13-16 in Oxford, Miss.

KXAS 5 removes offensive post
KXAX 5 in Dallas - Fort Worth caused a bit of controversy with a post on Facebook earlier this morning. Here is a screen capture via a friend of mine in DFW:
The station later removed the post and then posted the following, "We have removed the previous post to our Facebook page that many of you felt was insensitive, we apologize for the error in judgment."
The reactions are mixed in the post's comments sections. There are those that are offended and then those that say get over it.
What do you think? Was the station just trying to get attention by being provocative? Did the post go over the line? Or has society gone so politically correct that almost anything pushing the envelope is offensive now?
(Thanks Chris S.)

While just about anything will be called PIC by someone, I'm guessing more than just a few would consider this PIC, insensitive, or just plain tacky.ReplyDelete
Was the person that normally posts off-hours headlines sick that day, so a tech or intern filled in?
- Anonymous2/01/2013 11:04:00 AM
Or, Mikey, have we all gone so politically numb that almost anything is no longer pushing the envelope because it's now consider non-offensive, due to society's growing insensitivity from what's now common place?ReplyDelete

KXAS 5 in Dallas removed the post in question, citing 'insensitive'. There is a "comfort-zone" or genre of parody in the media, this we know -- but the author was 'insensitive'.ReplyDelete
Mike: therefore I believe it is "over the line."
I think it was offensive. If they can't report the news without making light about someone being shot, then they need to quit. I can't imagine a professional on-air anchor making that mistake. Doing what's right and doing what'll get you a lot of clicks are two different things - but an ethical social media manager/director will know which is which.ReplyDelete

Im sorry but i dont see anything wrong with that post. At first i thought it was a swear word or a racial slur but nothing of that matter. Or am i just one person with thick skin???ReplyDelete

Newsfix should hire whoever wrote the posting.ReplyDelete
It's not that the post was intentionally insensitive. I think it's more likely that whomever posted it was just following guidelines that have been drilled into them over and over again: "Always post a call to action!" "Always ask a question!"ReplyDelete
Sometimes, a story is terrible enough that asking for some kind of interaction isn't necessary because people will click through to read the details anyway.
A little common sense goes a LONG way.

Photos: Hiking Huron by Kim Fenske
April 5, 2012
Kim Fenske of Copper Mountain likes to climb big mountains in all seasons. Here are some photos and a brief account of a climb he undertook Thursday morning:
I have been trying to gain the summit of Huron for the past few weeks. A couple of weeks ago, I hiked 12 miles round-trip from Vicksburg through Winfield to the trailhead. Parked below due to deep snow on the Forest Service Road.
Today, I was stuck and spinning on ice, slightly high-centered, one car length below Winfield. After a half-hour struggle, got a push from a Jeep.
Parked at a safe distance and hiked 6 miles round-trip through deep snow up Mount Huron to 11,500 feet.

Britain's Foreign Minister David Miliband admited his nation had "some concerns" over the upcoming trial of those charged with being behind the 9/'11 attacks. The trial before a military tribunal raises questions as to the legality of the process since Miliband notes his nation apparently has a different definition as to what constitutes torture. The use of "waterboarding" is illegal in the British system, but President Bush obviously believes it can be used on certain occasions. "There is absolutely no question," said Miliband, "about the UK government's commitments in respect of torture, which is illegal and our definitioin of what torture is."
Unlike President Bush, the British Foreign Minister believes those fighting terrorism must never resort to the beliefs and attitudes of groups which are against the basic tenets of democracy. "We always assert our system of values which is different from those who attacked the U.S. and killed British citizens on September 11, and that's somehting we'd always want to stand for."
The United States stands ready for an election in the fall, and hopefully an individual will be elected who stands for democracy and all that concept of life represents. We Americans can never find justification for torture and abuse of people. Even the worse criminals who served the cause of Nazi Germany were tried in a civilian court.

Now that you are atheist or have been atheist your whole life. What is the most interesting thing you know about in our natural world?
I will chime in when this post gets rolling.
Views: 2760
I exist.
Okay, maybe too short. I mean that I am nothing but a collection of atoms in interplay with four forces and mostly empty space, no magic added anywhere, but I fucking exist nevertheless in a world full of other creatures that exists around me.
For me, the more interesting corollary is that someday in the distant future, nothing will exist. So, God, what was the point?
I have neither a God to ask about a point, nor a point to ask a God about and neither do I know that what you know about the distant future.
(But I find it wonderful that you exist too.)
That opinion wouldn't go over to well with solipsism.
I survived a bike accident which SHOULD HAVE killed me when I was 8. I was struck by a car, sent a good 30 meters, and landed flat on my head. I didn't have a scratch anywhere else on my body. I "just" have damage to the frontal lobe of my brain, I lost a great portion of my short term memory and I was in a 3 month coma.
The doctors said I probably wouldn't come out of my coma. When I came to; I pulled my own tracheotomy out for christ's sake. The doctors then said I'd never walk again; I proved them wrong... that was 20 years ago.
That's pretty damn interesting, if you ask me...
That's pretty awesome.
Indeed it is.
A miracle!!!
I tried to read about it and my head exploded. I'm a science fan, not a scientist. What exactly, in layman's terms, can be done with it?
Quasars. They are so far away and moving so quickly that by the time the light reached us and we noticed them they may have ceased to exist for more time that we can comprehend.
And mitochondria.
That during an accident most people experience something like time slowing down. This occurs when the brains memory takes in twice as much information. So the more memory you take in the longer time slows down.
Yeah, that's a cool phenomenon. I am ex-Army. Combat causes time to slow down as well. Very trippy.

LOL yeah, I try not to worry about the Double Take since my entries never seem to have a lot of fire the second time around. Which is fine. At least this time I also have next week's derby theme to think about. =]
I'm never quite sure why certain design do well a second time and others don't. There are a ton of shirts I really like low in the ranks that did really well in the derby they came from. The Double Take is a mystery to me.
Re: W.W.Z. Mechanized Military Infantry
I hope you are paying attention. When you let a decent piece of work speak for itself, it sometimes pays off (panda), when you try to force it, you fail. Every time.

Brilliant! I really hope this goes to print because I have about 5 or 6 people to buy this for. As I type this, My dogs are curled up on the floor near me....my cats are downstairs plotting my demise.
Funny, Witty design. Kudos!
We'll see how this derby plays out, but this is so so so so good and I want to wear this shirt so so so so badly. If it doesn't print here, I hope you post it somewhere else. Best of luck! +1
Re: The color of light
By far the most wearable shirt to come along in a while.
Looking at all of these entries, I'm beginning to realize that shirt.woot! just isn't the place for me anymore. It used to be filled with a wide-range of designs and I was almost always guaranteed to find one I liked.
But these days it seems like it's nothing but obvious jokes, cartoon or cutesy animals, or something equally immature. I've bought over 15 shirts over the last few years, but I haven't bought a single derby shirt in the last 6 months...
Sorry for the vent, but what it boils down to is that I like your design and wish woot would carry more like it. ;)

John, I appreciate your input but honestly it would have played out the same way with or without the promotion. During the robot derby this had potential but played against a number of fantastic designs its quite mediocre for the majority.

Oh my God that is a hilarious one Jay. Yep I remember like it was yesterday my ride in the back seat of a police car. It was literally about a hundred yards, and that was enough. The cop left us off with the father of my friend who I was with at the time of the offense (stealing a water spraying fire extinguisher). With the cop standing there he had me call my mother. LOLOLOLOLOL I called her and when she answered I didn't say anything and just stood there holding the phone to my ear and then hung it up telling the officer she wasn't home. He left me with my friends dad for him to tell her which was a LOT better than the cop doing it!
Yep, that ended my career as a criminal.

Ok, Amigo,, this won't be as long as Rays was . and a bit off tropic ( is that a surprize,,? it what we do best isn't it?
I went to a high school that was a boarding school, kids from all over the country were enrolled there , ( I was was local and a day student) so there was a bunch of kids (mostly girls)that would sneak out at night and kinda party, this was a small town so there wasn't a lot to do,,
My 2 best friends ( Mike &Tony)were sons of the district judge, anyway we would sneak out at night and go to my uncles farm and take his horses out for a ride, we had done this for quite some time and never got caught, so we had a board on the back of the shed that they kept the saddles and stuff in,
This one night we had these girls all lined up to meet us for a ride,, and possable a romp in the straw,
we pulled the board off the shed and climbed in and as soon as we got inside, the light came on and there stood My Dad, my uncle, his hired hand, and DA JUDGE,
we were so friggin scared , only thing I could think of was what was it gonna be like in jail,,
the JUdge just looked at us and said " you 3 little turds be in my court room tomorrow morning at 9am, and walked off with Mike and Tony, They got their Rears beat just like I did,, and the next morning I was really dreading what was gonna happen to us in court,,
in Court we were all sitting at a table, shaking like a leaf, scared to death,
in comes da judge, sits down at his throne, calls us all up in front of his big desk, and started the *** eatin, I remember it like it happened yesterday, You boys are in deep *(&^ you were caught red handed stealing horses, that is a federal offense and is punishable by years of jail time or hanging by the neck, which do you prefer?
we were crying like a bunch of babys,
the judge continued his rant, and told us he was going to sentence us to 25 years in prison and no chance of getting out till we had served every day, case close,, he told me to go home with my parents, get my stuff together and be ready to head to prison tomorrow,
Mike and Tony were amazed that their own dad would do that to them, but what could we do.. I had a feeling my life was over with,,,
I didn't sleep at all that nigh,,my mom and dad was really quiet, wouldn't talk to me at all, soon it was time to go back to the court house and go to jail,, we got there and saw the judge, in court , he told us he was going to give a little break for 2 months and see how we did in school and to go meet with my uncle and have him give us something to do to repay him for all that trouble w caused him,,
Long story,, but it all turned out good , the judge did this to scare us into changing the direction we were headed,, Believe Me It Worked,
I though for years that I had a criminal record, but actually didn't , and Mike and Tony remained my friends, both grew up to become great attorneys
GUESS I LIED ABOUT THE LEGNTH OF THIS sorry
Great story Ray, yep we are usually pretty lucky as kids.

|Ray, I seldom ever read anything that's very long but I want you to know that I savored and hung on every word of that "cool" recollection of your teen age years. One of the most enjoyable I've read in a long time. Well done and Kudos.
|69 widetrack
WOW...now my 57 year old memory is getting jarred. When I was 14 my buddy and I went halfer's on a 1954 Chevy 4 door. The battery had a hole in it so it needed to be push started, the brakes where well, for lack of better terminology, only working at 50% capacity (because the driver's side, front and back had the steel lines pinched to avoid the metal on metal sound when you applied the brakes). It was green with a bunch of fluorescent Orange graffiti all over it. All this for $5.00.
First thing we did was push start it to get it going and drove it to my Dad's shop about 4 miles away in the country and parked it until we could get enough gas money to go joy riding. Three days later, I had $3.00 for cutting grass, my buddy had a $5.00 bill he rifled out of his mother's purse I'm sure...but he had $5.00 non the less. We took my Dad's 5 gallon Jerry can he used for the lawn mower and put $2.00 worth of gas in the can and it almost filled the gas can. We took turns carrying the gas can the 4 miles to the shop and poured in into the tank of new 1954 Chevy.
Stupid us, we had parked it in a field that was full of weeds and couldn't push it quite as easily as if it was on pavement...Of coarse, I had an idea...my Dad had a shop truck and the key was always hidden under the floor mat...just borrow the truck to push start the 54 and we are then cruising. I jump into the shop truck, fire it up, my buddy is behind the wheel of the 54, I start pushing the car, my buddy pops the clutch, the old car fires up, goes sideways and takes out the headlight, headlight door and puts a dent in the front fender. Not a big deal, we got the car running.
We start driving down a country road (we chose this road because nobody used it any more) having a blast and all of a sudden coming over the top of a hill what do we see but a truck coming right at us...My buddy was driving, hits the brakes, the car pulls hard to right (only had brakes on one side) and we end up in the ditch...we wave the truck driver on saying we're OK (we didn't want any witnesses...Stupid or what) not thinking of how are we going to get this hulk running and out of the ditch. Well if we weren't the two luckiest guys you could imagine...the car started for the first time, the one and only time, off the battery.
I thought to myself that if I had been driving this wouldn't have happened so I insisted that I drive the car back to my Dad's shop. Now my Dad's shop was about 70 feet off of a major Highway, with only a gravel service road leading to the shop, I pull into the service road and what do we see...on the Highway an RCMP patrol car driving along looking for speeders. We weren't speeding, but we didn't have any plates either so we hurried to get the car to my Dad's shop with the RCMP right behind us. We park the car and where invited to sit in the back seat of the cruiser. I am now at the point of wondering what could possibly happen to us and I was the one caught driving so I would get the brunt of whatever punishment was going to be dealt out.
I start pleading with the RCMP officer to please don't take my drivers license away, thinking that I'm 14 years old, the legal age to get a driver's license was 16 years old, they might make me wait until I was 18 years old...(it's amazing what goes through a condemned boys mind at 14). One RCMP officer, of coarse the one that well over 7 feet tall, at least he looked to be that tall at the time, turns to me and says "take your license away, take your license away, your 14, you don't have a license to take away". We did however, both get a summons to appear in court the following Tuesday with one of our parents. I picked my Mom...My Dad volunteered.
My Dad in his wisdom, suggested that we go to the shop and move the eye sore of a car from the front of his shop and move it to the back where it couldn't be seen and to then hand the keys over to him and he would dispose of the car. We headed to the shop and of coarse the car wouldn't start...it needed a push start...with the shop truck...with the busted out headlight and broken headlight door and dented fender....and green paint from the Chevy all over the damaged area. About now I thought that not only would have been better to take my license away until I was 18, it would have been better to give 4 years in the Provincial Penitenitiary so I wouldn't have to deal with the wrath of my Dad.
I looked at my Dad...do any of you remember the cartoons where one of the character's gets angry and he turns red until steam comes out of his ears...he was getting redder and redder...everything but the steam. He walked away, sat in his car (he was driving a 67 Chrysler 300 with the 375 HP 440 CID at the time, beautiful car) for what seemed to be forever. He finally gets out of the car, very calmly gets in the truck, tells me to get in the Chevy and once we get it going to park it in the back, come back to the shop and hand over the keys...which I cheerfully did with a yes sir, three bags full sir, anything you want sir...I walked back to the shop and my Dad told me to get in the car. I started to apologize and he just looked at me which was enough for me to know that he wasn't in a chatty mood at the moment.
Tuesday comes along, I've been dying inside...what's going to happen...are they going to suspend my ability to get a license until I'm 18 years old, is there going to weekend jail time, what in God's name is going to happen to me...we go to court, the judge hears the story...looks at both my buddy and I, and we looked very remorseful and then looks at both parents and says, boys will be boys, if you promise not to do this kind of thing again, I'll suspend sentence...I didn't know what that meant, all I knew was that the judge didn't say anything about no license until I was 18 and I never heard a thing about weekend jail time so I was good...My Dad on the other hand said to the judge, "that's it?" Now I'm thinking, Dad, I'm your son, don't throw me under the bus. The judge told my father that just because he suspended sentence didn't mean that my Dad had to.
OK jail on weekends doesn't sound to bad now...seeing that I worked for my Dad evenings and weekends anyway, how about I work evenings and weekends for free until the $175.00 required to repair the shop truck was worked off and he had a dozen trees that needed to be cut down, stumps removed and back filled with top soil that he would think I would be happy to do seeing he had to take time off from work to hear a judge suspend sentence. I agreed and felt the punishment fit the crime.
You know, when I think back, my Dad took it pretty good, at the time I thought my life as I knew it was over.
|Bad Rat
Growing up in the 50's,, I think I was around 13 or so,, my dad owned a Chev/Oldsmobile dealership,, he had a old 46 chev sedan ( at that time it wasn't really old , 8 y/o)that he had brought home to keep for himself,, we lived on a dead end road, that had a huge field at the end of it,,he hardly ever drove the car,, so after school one day ,my buddy and I decided to take it for a spin, back in those days everything was stick shift, I got the thing started and down the road we went, got to the end, and the brakes weren't working too good ( of course I was going too fast ,and I went through the fence, trying to turn around ,, I got stuck in mud,, down to the axles,, I knew I was in deep do-do , so we had to get it out someway, so we went to my uncles farm. and took my uncles farm tractor and hooked a chain up to the front bumper,, first yank , off came the bumper,, (so then we hooked up to something under the car, I think it was the A-Arm ( its been a few years) anyway we finally got the car out of the field, less the bumper. and a few dents and gouges,,
Dragged it back home and washed and cleaned it up as good as we could, we had to park it back in the same spot, or he would notice it being moved, but we had to put it facing the opposite direction because, the thing wouldn't go in reverse.. that was better anyway cause that way the missing front bumper didn't show,
it took about a week for him to notice how it was parked , and when he did ,, I could hear him hollering for a mile,
needless to say, my a z z was burning for a LONG time,, I hated that car after that,, and never cared for the 46 chevs either
That's a good one Ray.
He helped me bleed the brakes in the car a few weeks ago.

Yes Brian, the memories your son has of that day in the parking lot will be etched in his mind forever. I remember my son and what he tells me now is one of his favorite memories of car moments we shared and I don't know if I ever told this story on the Forum before or not but here goes.
I was working on the front brakes on a car I gave my son for Christmas 5 months earlier, the car was pulling hard to the left and found that a caliper was sticking...I replaced the front rotors, calipers, pads and packed the front wheel bearings on his 79 Pontiac Lemans 305 4 bbl. He was with me the whole time and I got him involved in the repair and the bleeding of the brakes. So now it's time for a test drive and being that it was a Sunday morning, not much traffic on the road, I'm at a red light and for some unknown reason I thought it would be nice to do a burnout...so I did and we did manage to make quite a bit of smoke. My son looks back and tells me that there is a cop right behind us. I told my son to not say a word and let me do all the talking and we stopped for another red light...I did another burn out with the cop right behind me and then I turned into my shop's parking lot. The red lights went on and I opened my window. Before the cop could say anything I told him that I knew he was behind me (which was true) and because one of the front calipers was sticking my son and I where solving a front brake locking up issue and where working on the brakes so that in the future, (which was true) when he drove it the car would be safe for him (which was true). I went on to tell the officer that the reason I had my son with me was so that he could learn how things work on a car and perhaps may not need to rely on a repair shop for everything in the future (which was also true).
The officer looked at both my son's and my hands, saw that they where dirty, turned to my son and said "do you know how lucky you are young man? You have a father that is willing to spend the time to make sure that your safe on the road", and went on and on about how lucky my son was and thanked me for being a good father.
Here we are some 14 or 15 years later and very often when I speak to my son this event comes up, among others, but for some reason this is one that I don't think he'll ever forget....I know I won't....LOL.
I may have told you guys this pretty funny story during those days back a few months ago. But how many of us, any of us, at any age let alone a guy who learned to drive in 2012 can say he learned how to drive in a Rambler, and not only a Rambler but while he was learning he had to yield to a marching band? LOL, My son will be able to say that the rest of his life. We were going around his school parking lot and he had to yield to the marching band who was practicing there too. I tried to get a photo but it was just too dark out.

Precious Moments and Memories MartinSr !
I can remember my Granny teaching me to drive an old 52 three on the tree and of course I'll never forget teaching both of my sons to drive. The smile on that young mans face are worth a million words. Here's a little something from Alan Jackson along those lines.
|Very cool Brian. I too took all three of mine to the high school lot for their first time. We were trying to teach my oldest son the wonders of a clutch in my Wife's Corvette. Out of the three, he was the only one who "wanted" to learn a stick. Sadly he was (and still is at the age of 30) terrible at driving a clutch car. The other two (20 and 24) could care less about sticks, neither have been behind the wheel of my wife's car and don't want too

Really nice apartment not too far from the center of town (about 25 minutes walk). Everything was very neat and clean. Daniela is very fast and good with the information you need or ask for.
The only we missed was a small kitchen to prepare some small things.
Das Zimmer war super...schön eingerichtet und sauber, Badezimmer voll ausgestattet und die Gastgeberin sehr sehr nett! Eine perfekte Unterkunft nahe des Zentrums, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direkt vor der Tür. Daniela hat sich sehr bemüht, wir können sie wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Die Nachbarn waren auch alle sehr nett. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Daniela ist eine sehr nette und liebe Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns über Buslinien und Sehenswürdigkeiten informiert. Das Zimmer war auch super. Wir haben die Zeit in Cagliari sehr genossen. Danke Daniela :)
Daniela is a perfect hostess and a really friendly, kind and very thoughtful. His house, clean and welcoming, fully reflects.
Daniela è una perfetta padrona di casa e una persona davvero affabile, gentile e molto premurosa. La sua casa, impeccabile e accogliente, la rispecchia in pieno.
Very nice Welcoming from Daniela ! The room was very beautiful, even perfect ! The place has a good localisation in Cagliari, with possibily to go through the city center and to the marina by walking or by bus/metro. We were very enjoyed to stay at this place.
Mille grazie Daniela e forse a presto ;-)

Very nice place, clean, modern, cosy. Easy and
comfy Check-in. Thank you, Daniela! :)
Mi sono trovato molto bene nell'appartamento di Daniela, finemente arredato. Abbiamo trovato intesa sin da subito con Daniela nonostante non siamo riusciti a conoscerci ( ci siamo parlati tramite whatsapp). X le mie esigenze mi sono trovato molto bene
Perfect stay, very clean flat and Daniela was very nice and helpful :)
Stanza molto bella e accogliente, prezzo ottimo e massima disponibilità del proprietario.
Daniela was very friendly. The room was clean and spaceful. She helped us with the orientation in the city and she also provided us with useful maps. She cleaned the shared bathroom every day. The appartment was very nice, clean and new renovated. The one star Iam deducting because of cold water which we have experienced many times as the bathroom was shared with other people and there was no hot water left for us when we came later home. Otherwise we recommend Daniela for other guests.

I was never on any team before because of the age restriction, but I play a lot of paintball.
I usually play Woodsball/Scenario so that's the kind of team I'm willing to be on.
I also Like to film every time I play paintball (usually a barrel mounted camera) because i put it on youtube. I'm also making a 3rd Person camera mount for better footage.

How nice of them...
Source: BBC News
Thousands of school children and students in Tehran have marked the anniversary of the hostage-taking at the American embassy in 1979.
The speaker of the Iranian parliament compared the event to the current nuclear row, saying America always wanted to put Iran under pressure.
It was a rowdy celebration of student power, with boys and girls segregated outside the former American embassy.
A huge red flag saying "Death to America" was burned.
Many people carried banners with the same slogan and even puppets of Uncle Sam.
Addressing the crowd, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Gholam Ali Hadad-Adel, warned America that Iranians were ready to react to any attempt to limit their access to nuclear power.
He said Iran was willing to pay the price of its independence once again.
No regrets
Iran's former President, Mohammad Khatami, had expressed regret for the seizure of the American embassy and its staff but today - with a new more conservative government in power - there is little sign of remorse.
Instead the speakers asked why America had not learned its lesson from the hostage-taking.
One young girl born after the revolution said she did not think the American embassy would ever reopen in Tehran because the United States was against Iran.
Another boy said if Iran was threatened again, he would be willing to copy the students who seized the US embassy in 1979.
How nice of them...
To bad we didn't supply the fireworks for the party.

Whether a well taps water just below the ground or hundreds of feet deep, its location on top of the ground is a crucial safety factor. Locating a well in a safe place takes careful planning and considering factors such as where the well is in relation to surface drainage and groundwater flow. A well downhill from a livestock yard, a leaking tank or a septic system runs a greater risk of contamination than a well on the uphill side of these pollution sources.
Surface slope does not always indicate the direction a pollutant might flow once it gets into the ground. In shallow aquifers, groundwater flow often is in the same direction as surface-water flow. If the aquifer supplying water to your farmstead well is deep below the surface, however, its slope may be different than that of the land surface. Finding out about groundwater movement on your farm (Contacts and References) may require special monitoring equipment.
Many states encourage appropriate well location by requiring minimum separation distances from sources of potential pollution, thus using the natural protection provided by soil. However, state well codes may not mention some farmstead activities and structures. When no distances are specified, provide as much separation as possible between your well and any potential contamination source, especially if your farmstead is on highly permeable soils or thin soil overlying limestone bedrock or if the contamination source or activity presents a high risk of contamination.
Minimum separation distances regulate new well installation. Existing wells are required by law only to meet separation requirements in effect at the time of well construction. Make every effort, however, to exceed old requirements, and strive to meet current regulations.
Both soil and slope can make placing a well tricky business. Keep in mind that separation distances required by the state are minimums. You may choose greater separation distances in some cases, depending on factors at your site. This will assure you that your well will not be polluted by farmstead activities in the future. Also consider contamination sources on adjacent properties.
Changing the location of your well in relation to contamination sources may protect your water supply, but it will not protect the groundwater itselfAny condition likely to cause groundwater contamination should be improved, even if your well is far away from the potential source. Whether or not drinking water is affected, groundwater contamination is a violation of Missouri law.
Simply separating your well from a contamination source may reduce the chance of pollution, but it does not guarantee that the well will be safe. Storm water and groundwater can carry bacteria, oil products and pesticides from one place to another. Wells located in the path of polluted water run a risk of contamination from overland flow washing into an improperly sealed well. Some wells become contaminated through polluted recharge at great distances, depending on the depth of the aquifer and the well intake (Table 1).
Table 1Minimum separation distances between well and potential farmstead sources of contamination for new well installation.
50 feet from well
75 feet from well
100 feet from well
300 feet from well
Poor well design can cause contaminated groundwater to enter the well by allowing rain or snowmelt to reach the water table without filtering through soil. Wells located in pits, or without grout or a cap, allow surface water to carry bacteria, pesticides, fertilizer or oil products into your drinking-water supply. Proper well design reduces the risk of pollution by sealing the well from anything that might enter it from the surface (Figure 1).
The way in which a well was constructed, even if the design is sound, affects its ability to keep out contaminants. Several things you should check are described in the following sections. Information about well construction may be available from the person who drilled your well, from the previous owner or from the well-construction report. Employees in the Division of Geology and Land Survey in Rolla, Mo., can try to find the construction report for you. This overview of well construction and inspection can help you understand your drinking-water contamination-risk ranking. For more information, contact a registered well driller or pump installer. Your Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regional office can help interpret construction requirements of Missouri's Private Well Construction Standards (RSMo 256.600).
Figure 1Typical domestic well installation with discharge pipe extending into the home. Adapted from Planning Your Well: Guidelines for Safe, Dependable Drinking Water, University of Illinois-Champaign Cooperative Extension Service, December 1988.
During construction, the well driller installs a steel or plastic pipe, called casing, to prevent collapse of the borehole. The space between the casing and the sides of the hole provides a direct channel for surface water (and pollutants) to reach the water table. To seal off that channel, the driller fills the space with grout (cement, concrete or a special type of clay called bentonite, depending on the geologic materials encountered). Both grout and casing prevent pollutants from seeping into the well.
Visually, you can inspect the condition of your well casing for holes or cracks at the surface or down the inside of the casing with a light. If you can move the casing around by pushing against it, your well casing may be unable to keep out contaminants. In areas of shallow (less than 20 feet from surface) fractured bedrock, check on the condition of your well casing by listening for water running down into the well. (Pump should not be running.) If you do hear water, the casing could have a crack or hole, or you are not cased down to the water level in the well. Either situation is risky.
To prevent contaminants from flowing down inside the well casing, the driller installs a tight-fitting, vermin-proof well cap to prevent easy removal by children and entry by insects or surface water. Install the cap firmly with a screened vent incorporated into it so air can enter the well. Check the well cap to see that it is in place and tightly secured. Wiring should be in the conduit. If your well has a vent, be sure that it faces the ground, is tightly connected to the well cap or seal and is properly screened to keep insects out. The well code requires a vermin-proof cap or seal for all private wells. (Not all wells have caps. Some may have pumping equipment attached at the surface.)
The depth of casing required by the state private-well code for your well depends on the nature of the subsurface geologic materials. The casing requirements vary throughout the state because of Missouri's varied geology. Your regional DNR office can advise you on these minimum requirements. Meeting minimum well codes does not, however, guarantee a safe water supply; you may want to exceed minimum casing depth.
Wells cased below the water level can afford greater protection from contamination. Well casing extending at least 30 feet below the water level can ensure that surface water is filtered through soil and geologic materials before entering the well. Wells cased more deeply provide greater sanitary protection but also can result in aesthetic water problems caused by dissolved solids, such as hardness and iron. Typically, the casing extends one foot to two feet above surrounding land, preventing surface water from running down the casing or on top of the cap and into the well. The private-well code requires that at least 12 inches of casing pipe extend above the final grade of the land.
Well age is an important factor in predicting the likelihood of high nitrate concentrations. A well built more than 70 years ago is likely to be at the center of the farmstead; it may be shallow and is probably surrounded by many potential contamination sources. Older well pumps are more likely to leak lubricating oils, which can get into the well. Older wells also are more likely to have thinner casing that is corroded. Even wells with modern casing that are 30 years to 40 years old are subject to corrosion and perforation. If you have an older well, you may want it inspected by a district or county health department sanitarian or a qualified well driller.
Bored or dug wells pose the highest risk of allowing drinking-water supply contamination because they are shallow and often poorly protected from surface water. A bored or dug well is a large-diameter hole (usually more than 2 feet wide), which often is constructed by a large diameter drill or by hand.
Driven-point (sand-point) wells, which pose a moderate-to-high risk, are built by driving assembled lengths of pipe into the ground. These wells normally are smaller in diameter (2 inches or less) and less than 50 feet deep. They only can be installed in areas of relatively loose soils, such as sand.
All other types of wells, including those constructed by a combination of jetting and driving, are drilled wells. Drilled wells for farm use are commonly 4 inches to 8 inches in diameter. All bedrock wells must be at least 6 inches in diameter.
Well depth
Shallow wells draw from the groundwater nearest the land surface, which may be directly affected by farmstead activities. Depending on how deeply the well casing extends below the water table, rain and surface water soak into the soil and may carry pollutants.
Local geologic conditions determine how long it takes for this to happen. In some places, this process happens quickly, in weeks, days or even hours. Areas with thin soil over fractured bedrock or sand and gravel aquifers are particularly vulnerable. Even thick sand over fractured bedrock represents a site vulnerable to contamination.
On the other hand, thick clay soils don't allow contaminants to reach the water table. They may prevent contamination or delay the day when a well turns bad. If you have a deep well (more than several hundred feet below the water table), the groundwater supplying your well may have traveled a considerable distance underground over a long time, offering greater protection to the well.
You wouldn't let a tractor run too long without an oil change. Your well deserves the same attention. Good maintenance means testing the water twice a year, keeping the well area clean and accessible, keeping pollutants as far away as possible and periodically having a qualified well driller or pump installer check the well mechanics.
Existing wells most likely were put where they are because of traditional practice or regulations in place at the time of construction. Although these wells are legal, consider how well yours conforms to current standards, which incorporate new knowledge about groundwater contamination and well water. You can find these standards in the state private-well regulations (RSMo 256.600).
You might want to move activities such as pesticide mixing, tank rinsing or gasoline storage farther from your well. You might want to upgrade wells, get rid of well pits, install caps or extend casings.
Changing the location of other practices may prove expensive. (You can't move a livestock yard or a silo overnight.) Until you can meet minimum-separation distance requirements, change the way you manage such structures to control contaminants.
If your silo is too close to your well, for example, you may want to install a system for collecting any juices draining from freshly ensiled forage. You could install concrete curbs to direct livestock yard runoff away from the well. Short-term manure stacks are another example. They pose a risk of well contamination by bacteria or nitrates. Place them on clay soil or, better yet, a concrete slab to reduce the chance of polluting your drinking water. Also, protect them from rain.
Other management changes to consider include moving traffic areas and chemical or gasoline storage areas away from the well and upgrading or better managing your septic system.
Backflow or backsiphoning from pesticide mixing tanks allows chemicals to flow back into the well through the hose. Use an anti-backflow device when filling pesticide sprayer tanks to prevent the chemical mixture from flowing back into the well and contaminating groundwater. You may find inexpensive anti-backflow devices for hoses that are used to fill farm sprayers from irrigation or spray-equipment suppliers. If you don't have such a device, keep the hose out of the tank when filling the pesticide sprayer.
Consider buying an inexpensive plastic nurse tank. A nurse tank is filled with water at the well and then used to fill the sprayer away from the farmstead and away from the well. (For more information about preventing well contamination from pesticide mixing and loading practices, see Worksheet #2 (MU publication WQ652) and Fact Sheet #2 (MU publication WQ676), Pesticide Storage and Handling.)
You also should consider anti-backflow devices on all faucets with hose connections, or maintain air gaps between hoses or faucets and the water level. Otherwise, you risk having contaminated water from laundry tubs, sinks, washing machines, pressure washers, outside hydrants and swimming pools flow back through plumbing to contaminate your water supply.
Water supplies that have cross-connections between them (connections between two otherwise-separate pipe systems, such as potable and non-potable) also put your drinking water at risk.
You must report all backsiphons and spills to the State Emergency Response Hotline. To report, and to receive advice and help with backsiphonage, call the 24-hour emergency hotline at 573-634-2436. Collect calls are accepted.
Keep an eye on water quality in existing wells by testing it twice a year. Although you cannot have your water tested for every pollutant, some basic tests indicate whether or not problems exist.
At a minimum, test your water annually for bacteria and nitrate. Where the well draws from sandy materials or granite bedrock, test once for corrosiveness. Good initial tests for a private well also include tests for hardness, alkalinity, pH, conductivity and chloride.
In addition, you may conduct a broad scan of your water for a number of contaminants. Some mail-in labs offer a screening for metals, inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, herbicides/pesticides and coliform bacteria for $80 to $120 per chemical.
The results may not include contaminants that could be near your farm: for example, the most commonly used pesticides in your area. Test for contaminants that most likely will be found at your farmstead. Test for lead if you have lead pipes or soldered copper joints. Test for volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) if they have been used nearby or if there has been a spill of oil, petroleum or solvent. Although testing for pesticides can be costly (often $80 to $100 per compound analyzed), the expense may be justified if:
For $70 or more, commercial labs test your drinking-water supply for atrazine and other pesticides. (Contacts and References.)
You can seek more advice on appropriate tests to run from your local MU Extension center or health department or your DNR regional office.
You should test your water more frequently if:
You can have your water tested by both public and private laboratories. A list of certified labs is available from the Missouri DNR or your local MU Extension center.
Follow the lab's instructions for water sampling to ensure accuracy of results.
Use only the container provided, and return samples promptly. Bacteria sample bottles are sterile and must be returned within specified time limits.
Because many materials, including bacteria and nitrate-nitrogen, are present naturally in minor amounts in groundwater or can vary seasonally, contact a specialist for help in interpreting test results.
Bacteria and nitrates are two important indicators. At excessive levels, they can cause health problems themselves and also may suggest problems with the well's location or construction. Hardness and pH indicate how corrosive the water may be to your plumbing system.
The chloride level also may indicate other problems. In Missouri, most chloride comes from such human activities as road salts and waste disposal.
In most areas of Missouri, a level of more than 10 milligrams per liter suggests that land use is somehow affecting your well.
Keep in mind that activities off your farm can affect your groundwater. Chemical spills, changes in land use and the presence of landfills increase the chance of pollutants getting into your water. If your water has a high nitrate or bacteria level, talk with a specialist about the need for additional testing.
It is important to record the results and to note changes in water quality over time. In addition to water-analysis test results, keep records of a few other things to tell what is happening with your water system. These include well-construction details and dates and results of maintenance intervals for the well and pump.
Well equipment doesn't last forever. Every 10 years to 20 years, your well may need mechanical attention from a qualified well driller or pump installer. Follow these maintenance practices:
New wells are expensive but they are a good investment for the future. Getting the most from such an investment means placing the well away from contamination sources and working to maintain the quality of the well. Some simple principles:
Many farms have unused wells. No one knows how many of these wells exist in Missouri, although estimates range in the hundreds of thousands.
If not properly filled and sealed, these wells can provide a direct conduit for surface water carrying pollutants to groundwater without filtering through soil, or they can allow contaminant movement from one aquifer to another. One improperly sealed well in Missouri was buried, and only a stone covered the top of the casing. This well's drinking water was severely contaminated by a well on the same property. The unused well was near a livestock yard and an absorption field. It provided direct access for the entry of animal wastes into the groundwater. In addition to these wells being a threat to groundwater, large, open wells pose safety hazards for small children and animals.
Hire a licensed, registered well driller or pump installer to close these wells. Effective well plugging calls for experience with well construction materials and methods as well as a working knowledge of the geology of the well site. You may, however, do your own well-abandonment work. You don't need a license, but you must meet the minimum well-code requirements when you abandon and fill a well.
You often need special equipment to remove old pumps and piping and to install sealing material inside the well. Use of inappropriate materials and methods can lead to well settling, collapse and continued groundwater contamination. If plugging materials are improperly installed in a well, you'll find patching up defective work is nearly impossible.
The most obvious places to find unused wells are where you'll find pipes sticking out of the ground around the farmstead, or in an area where a farmstead used to be or under an old windmill. You may not know the history of your property, however, and unused well locations may not be obvious. A depression in the ground may indicate an old well. Also, wells often were drilled in house basements, under front steps or near old cisterns.
State well regulations (Missouri Regulations RSMo 256.600) require reports of well plugging. These regulations also explain well-closing requirements.
Proper well closing takes time and money. Costs vary with the well depth, diameter and geology of the area. Spending a few hundred dollars plugging an unused well near your home may prevent contamination of your drinking water.
A method of well closure that may be less expensive was approved in February 1990. Chipped bentonite products may now be used to fill wells and drillholes.
Contact your DNR regional office, county health office or local MU Extension center for additional information and well-closure report forms.

Since moving to the city, I've been able to talk to people about their personal experiences with September 11th. They all mention an eery silence. A smell. A grayness that blanketed the city. The loss.
I discovered the Staten Island September 11 Memorial when I first moved here. It's titled "Postcards". The large white envelopes framing the city skyline always have an impact on me. The silence does too.

There are political slanderers and there are political panderers in American poliitics, Mike Huckabee certainly should be awarded an Oscar for his recent mud slinging episode in South Carolina. The Arkansas traveler has decided the critical issue confronting the people of South Carolinia is not the collapse of the stock market or the housing crisis, but flying the Confederate flag. Mr. Huckabee, who describes himself as a "Christian candidate," displayed good Christian ethics by telling South Carolinians, "You don't want anyone from out of state coming down and telling you what to do with your flag," do you? He was resurrecting a topic that had been put to rest eight years ago when the Confederate flag was removed from atop the state legislature. The flag issue was a not so subtle attack on Senator John McCain who supports removal of the Confederate flag.
Senator McCain, who actually fought under the American flag, something never done by patriotic Huckabee who apparently feels more dedicated to preserving the flag of the Confederacy than that of the United States of America, praised South Carolinians for getting rid of a symbol which represents an episode in the past that is over. Even Fred Thompson who needs a strong showing in the state refused to pander to voters aboout the flag and noted it wa a "symbol of racism." Mr. Huckabee may well win in South Carolna, by resorting to the tactics of smear and racism, but the nation is watching and the nation will turn away from such low life tactics. You may gain a few votes, Mr. Huckabee, but for a Christian candidate is it worth the loss of your soul?

After one session with Peggy Johnson, I feel like a whole new world of singing has opened up for me! In less than an hour, Peggy taught me how to protect my voice with warm-up and cool-down routines, how to expand my vocal range with a series of vocal exercises, and how to increase my endurance with better breath support technique. Peggy is an incredible vocal coach and I can hardly wait to see what she'll teach me at our next session.

Scene Info
Tattooed muscle-punk Troy is ready and waiting ass-up on the bed as Alex lets himself in, immediately whips out his long rod and uses it to fuck Troy's face, making sure to get at it from all angles. Troy's ass starts gyrating, begging for the real thing, and Alex is happy to comply. Entering tenderly at first, Alex works himself up into a craze and begins fucking him like a mad man, first from behind and then from underneath while Troy feverishly jacks his meat. Finally Alex tosses Troy onto his back for some good old-fashioned missionary position, and pounds the poor Punk's ass until they both shoot thick loads onto Troy's torso.

Email marketing is at an important crossroads because email is losing its appeal for consumers. Research shows that younger people in particular feel email is too formal. Forrester's European Technographics® surveys show that consumers' attitudes toward email marketing have only grown more critical over time.
