WH Opposes Religious Liberty Amendment for Military Chaplains
By Todd Starnes
The Obama Administration said it "strongly objects" to a pair of amendments to the 2013 defense authorization bill that would prohibit same-sex marriages on military property and would also protect the religious freedom of military chaplains and service members who are opposed to same-sex marriage.
The two amendments passed the House Armed Services Committee and are expected to be voted on Friday, said Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO). The story was first reported by CNSNews.com.
Akin authored an amendment that would protect military personnel who object to homosexuality based on their moral beliefs. He said military chaplains have faced censorship for their opposition to gay marriage.
"There is a war on religious belief in the military," Akin said. "Chaplains and service members should not face recrimination or persecution in the military for standing strong on their religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality."
Akin's amendment creates a statutory conscience protection clause for members of the military – and specifically military chaplains.
"It says that chaplains who don't believe that it's right to have same sex marriage won't be forced against their conscious to perform those ceremonies and furthermore – they won't be punished because of their religious convictions."
Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-MS) offered a second amendment banning gay marriages from military installations. Palazzo said he's trying to reverse current policies that allow private same-sex marriages on bases.
"The administration is causing a lot of confusion within the military community," Palazzo told Fox News.
The Office of Management and Budget issued a statement Wednesday condemning the amendments, saying the Obama Administration "strongly objects" to the amendment – stating that it would "inhibit the ability of same-sex couples to marry or enter a recognized relationship under state law."
The OMB said the amendments are "potentially harmful to good order and discipline" and said any attempt to deny service members access to facilities for religious ceremonies on the basis of sexual orientation is "a troublesome and potentially unconstitutional limitation on religious liberty."
The irony was not lost on Akin.
There's a terrible irony that people who fight for our First Amendment rights are having those very rights denied," Akin said. "Their idea of tolerance – you have to think the way they want you to think."
Akin and Palazzo said they've received a number of complaints from service members who said they've been reprimanded or punished because of their opposition to gay marriage.
"There's been some pressure, whether it's been put on paper or whether it's been verbal, for people to either get in line or get out of the military and that's sad," Palazzo said.
But an advocacy group representing LGBT military personnel blasted the amendments and accused the lawmakers of trying to undermine DADT.
"Mr. Akin is trying to solve a problem that does not exist," said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. "There are already in place adequate protections for chaplains and service members in this area. No one in uniform is being required to go against their conscience, and no one is being punished for expressing their personal religious beliefs."
But that's not true, said Ron Crews, the executive director of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. His organization presented documented evidence of a half dozen instances where military personnel were reprimanded or punished.
"We believe this is the tip of the iceberg," Crews said. "Some of these chaplains have in fact had their careers impacted. Chaplains have been changed from their positions. Others have been encouraged to retire or leave the service. This has been a slowly progressing event. We are concerned about the long-term effects."
Sarvis, in a written statement, noted that the allegations of abuse referenced by Akin were not investigated or proven to be factual.
"So let's get to the heart of the matter," Sarvis wrote. "Mr. Akin and a few others wish to weaken implementation of Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal. The Pentagon, Congress and the American people have spoken on this, and Mr. Akin simply doesn't like the outcome."
Sarvis also blasted the Palazzo amendment that would ban gay marriages on military bases.
"It's transparent, and it's blatant pandering to the far right," Sarvis wrote.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters that she agreed with the Obama Administration and opposed the amendment.
"There's nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith," she said responding to a question from CNSNews.com. "I don't agree to that stipulation."
Pelosi said chaplains have never been ordered to perform same-sex weddings, calling the amendments a "manufactured crisis."

Wash. Post Pulls Rug From Under New Electric Cars
Blog ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Just as mainstream automakers are beginning to launch electric vehicle (EV) technology, The Washington Post is calling for an end to federal tax credits encouraging consumers to purchase electric cars. The Post's editorial coincides with a Republican proposal (not mentioned in the editorial) to repeal the tax credits, which date back to the latter years of the George W. Bush administration. Continuing what has become a pattern in the paper's energy coverage, the Post presents a selective and short-sighted version of the facts.
Take, for instance, the argument that "only upper-income consumers can afford to buy an electric vehicle." In a highly misleading move, the Post provides the price of only one EV option, the luxury $100,000 Fisker Karma. By contrast, the after-credit cost of a Nissan Leaf is $27,700. A CNNMoney guide to the "remarkable assortment" of plug-in cars coming online in 2012 quotes prices starting "from $22,000." Beyond the sticker price, EVs have lower operating costs and represent the only option most families have for really shielding their financial security from perennial spikes in the price of gasoline.
The Post goes on to argue that the electric car industry is "not ready for prime time," saying "sales of electric vehicles were disappointing in 2011." Chelsea Sexton, an electric car advocate who has advised GM, said via email that 2011 sales of electric cars have for the most part "been limited by production, not demand." "Even so, 2011 [EV] sales were nearly double first year (2000) hybrid sales," Sexton added.
The editorial makes no note of the economic factors suppressing consumer demand for many goods and services. Nor does it recognize that lawmakers supported electric cars because they are not already a well-established technology, not in spite of that fact. The federal government has long played an important role in supporting innovations that later became "the technologies we take for granted," in the words of the Breakthrough Institute. The Post editorial declares that "conventional hybrids" show "much more promise" than electric cars, without mentioning that those hybrids were boosted by federal tax credits from 2005-2010.
The Post also frets about the "taxpayers' commitment" to the EV industry, but some perspective is in order. Auto writer Nick Chambers estimates that up to 19,000 EVs were sold in 2011 and if the full $7,500 credit was applied to every sale, it cost us about $142 million in lost revenue. That's about .000039 percent of federal spending last year. It's 7 times less costly than the "percentage depletion allowance," one of many tax breaks bestowed upon the oil industry, which continues to report enormous profits.
The government has subsidized fossil fuels for decades, not least by building an entire national infrastructure catering to vehicles powered by petroleum. On top of all that, the price of oil fails to account for its actual costs, including threats to public health from pollution, damages to the environment and the economy from spills, the effects of climate change, etc. So to argue against federal support for EVs because they struggle to compete in a system designed for cheap fossil fuels seems to be exactly backwards.
Finally, the editorial argues that EVs "are not likely to form a significant part of the solution to America's dependence on foreign oil, or to global warming, in the near future." But global warming and U.S. oil dependence aren't going away anytime soon. Energy policy should look beyond the "near future" -- that's kind of the whole point. Importantly, this debate is not just about cars, but also the prospects for a robust advanced battery manufacturing industry in the United States. "The U.S. battery industry will grow only as fast as the hybrid and electric vehicle market," according to the Congressional Research Service.
There's no question about the superior efficiency of electric motors over combustion engines, and their significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. But it remains to be seen if the adoption of EVs will be widespread. Michael Omotoso, senior analyst at LMC Automotive, has compared the EV industry to "a baby taking its first steps," saying "the market is in its infancy" and "will stumble and fall several times before finally learning how to walk." Pike Research reports that "The early market for electric vehicles is proving that demand for the vehicles exists across the globe. The combination of consumer purchase incentives, rising fossil fuel costs, and exciting new vehicle models is fueling a strong early adopter market."
The Washington Post, along with ideological media commentators who delight in rooting against advanced vehicle technology, should make their coverage thoughtful and accurate, for infant industries are not immune to negligent media narratives and the stakes are ultimately quite high.
Jill Fitzsimmons contributed to this post.
UPDATE: Autoblog points out that the editorial also "grossly distorts the truth about problems with the Volt." The Post said that "the Volt brand is suffering from news that some of its batteries burst into flames after government road tests." In fact, the fires occurred after crash tests.

Delegate Wants to Make Abortions After 20 Weeks Illegal
"We recognize now that babies
in the womb feel pain. At 20 weeks and older they start to feel pain. That's
about five months. You're talking five-month-old babies and older in the womb.
Since they do feel pain, we need to make sure we're protecting those little
people. They are viable around that time," says Del. Neil Parrott, (R) of
Parrott is sponsoring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. He says people have many misconceptions about late-term abortions.

The only exception in the bill is if the mother has a medical emergency. The bill has bipartisan support, including Washington County Democrat John Donoghue, who's one of 23 co-sponsors.
Some pro-choice delegates have issues with the bill.
"I always have believed and
will continue to believe that it's a woman's decision. It's interesting that
most of these bills are put forth by men. I'm satisfied with what we have, and
I'm really tired of revisiting it," says Del. Galen Clagett, (D) of
The bill has passed in eight other states.
"These are little citizens and the rights we have as citizens in the country, one of them is the right to life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but if we're not even allowing a little person to be born, that's really cheating them and violating our constitution of the right to life," Parrott says.
Parrott's bill, House Bill 1312, will have a hearing Friday in the House Health and Government Operations Committee. Parrott says if the bill doesn't pass this year, he'll introduce it again during next year's session.
Sen. Edward Reilly is sponsoring the bill in the Maryland Senate. His bill, Senate Bill 456, will be heard in the Senate Finance Committee on March 20.

I have a few laying around. I would give you a couple.
I have a few of the stamped excluder's that someone gave me. The edges of the stamped holes are very sharp. I would think that they will damage your bees. The few cloake boards that I have are made out of round wire or plastic. Try Brushy Mountain for the plastic excluder cloake board.
They were handy for some things, but hard on the bees' wings. For small applications I usually use #5 hardware cloth. For larger things like a cloake board, I use the wire ones.

Thge British government is introducing new laws which make it a criminal offence to discriminate against peple in militay uniforms and imposes extra penalties on those convicted of assault or harassment of service personnel. These measures stem from a report, National Recognition of our Armed Forces, which was made at the request of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. th study suggests the media and members of parliament shuld have more access to the military, and even suggestions about introducing new school curriculum about the role of the military in British life. The report stems from a few scattered incidents in which bigotry and prejudice was displayed against members of he armed forces.
Those who serve in the military assume responsibilities for protecting the rights of all members of society against outside aggression. Discrimination against anyone because of their skin color or religion or ethnicity or the occupation should not be tolerated in any society. There should be plenty of existing laws to handle those isolated cases in which ignorant people insult those serving in the military.

Arsenal are 4/11 with Gunnersgaming to get back to winning ways and beat QPR at Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners were poor in midweek when losing 2-0 at home to Schalke in the Champions League, and they were also beaten in their last Premier League match, going down 1-0 to Norwich at Carrow Road.
However, Arsenal's home form has been solid, and they face a side at the bottom of the table and without a league win in the Premier League this season.
The stats reveal that there have been 42 meetings between the two clubs in the history of the league, with Arsenal Winning 18, QPR 12 and the honours being shared on 12 occasions.
That suggests it could well be a close fought affair, and under 2.5 goals looks well worth a look at 8/5.
Arsène Wenger's 's men triumphed 1-0 in the corresponding fixture last season, and a repeat of that scoreline is priced up at 71/10 with GunnersGaming, who go 27/5 for a 2-0 victory.
Olivier Giroud has taken time to find his feet since his move from Montpellier but could cause Mark Hughes' men all sorts of problem with his powerful aerial presence in the box.
He is the 4/1 joint-favourite with GunnersGaming to open the scoring, along with Lukas Podolski.
Jack Wilshere, who will be in contention to make his first Premier League appearance in 18 months after running out the 90 minutes in a 2-1 victory over Everton at Under-21 level, is a 23/2 chance in the same market to come back with a bang.

Press Room
Contest to Name Waterfalls Announced by Cloudland Canyon State Park
Kim Hatcher Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites 404-657-9855 email@example.com Bobby Wilson Cloudland Canyon State Park 706-657-4050 email@example.com
TRENTON, GA, February 24, 2011 — Deep within one of north Georgia's most scenic state parks are two waterfalls that have never had formal names. In fact, officials have always called them simply "waterfall #1" and "waterfall #2." Now the rangers at Cloudland Canyon State Park have decided they would like help in christening the waterfalls with names that are as pretty as the falls themselves.
The park is sponsoring a "Name the Waterfalls" contest through April 15, with the grand prize being an overnight getaway, as well as the pride of naming one of Georgia's natural attractions. Winners will receive a two-night stay in a Cloudland Canyon State Park cottage or a three-night stay in the campground, an annual disc golf pass, Canyon Grill gift certificates and more. Winners will be announced by April 30, 2011.
Contestants can download an entry form from GeorgiaStateParks.org/CloudlandContest-NameWaterfalls. The website includes photos of the waterfalls which sometimes change in appearance due to weather and rainfall. Forms may be mailed or dropped off at the park's office, open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily. Cloudland Canyon State Park is located on Ga. Route 136, 8 miles east of Trenton and I-59, and 18 miles west of LaFayette.
Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon is one of the most scenic state parks in Georgia, offering rugged geology and beautiful vistas. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton's Gulch Creek, and elevation differs from 800 to 1,980 feet. The most spectacular view into the canyon is found near the picnic area parking lot; however, hikers who explore the bottom can see the waterfalls. Cottages and campsites are available for overnight guests.
To learn more, visit GeorgiaStateParks.org/CloudlandCanyon or call 706-657-4050.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
Thank you, kindly.
We are currently looking into both the inactive owners and the prospect of adding new owners for next season. Will advise soon.
It would be cool if we could get some hot chicks involved in this thing.
Can't you say that for just about anything in life?
In all seriousness, If Mo & CJ are our two replacement candidates, I'm totally on-board! These guys would make our league better. I hate playing against teams that haven't updated their lineups since the 2nd week in November. I see that the Sabertooths have focused all of their efforts on winning the turnover category again this week. What's funny is that the Tooths started Ellyasova at the beginning of the year. Ersan went through about a 30 game stretch of being in Scott Skiles' doghouse. With Skiles gone, Elly is now bringing it again and he's still holding down the Forward spot in the Tooths' lineup. ...a broken clock is correct twice a day!
It's called patience.
If the league were to expand I wonder if we might think about shrinking the bench size. I think they're too big now and it might open some some more fun free agent shenanigans.
Perhaps daily lineup change makes sense. Right now, the bench is pretty useless.
A big bench in a Keeper league makes sense. Roscoe drafting Andre Drummond is a perfect example of this. It gives you a little room to draft guys with a long-term strategy in mind.
@ Webz In the spirit of NBA deadline day, I sent you a trade offer. I think that this might be an opportunity to enhance the chances of BOTH of us to execute the all-important task of defeating the evil Cogs. Not to mention, this deal would give you the Young Keeper that you lack.
Maybe, but long term guy would have to prove out pretty fast to make keeper status. Or maybe expand the number of keepers by one or two. P.S. Mostly thinking out loud here.
I'll check it out! Good thoughts - this has been brought up a few times. The worry is if there are too many keepers there is not enough turnover each season and stagnation and disinterest develops. Originally there were 3 keepers and the young keeper (4th keeper) was introduced after a few years to help with player development and interest.
I like the league/rosters the way it is.
Just responded to your offer. I could not part with Pekovic sorry. I don't trust having Bynum active for the playoffs so I'm going to need Nicole.
Winless has found the keys to his truck and driven down to the docks and boarded his ship. Max has decided to relinquish his team and will be replaced by CJ. Thanks to Max for being part of the league and welcome to CJ. Motown, you'll be first in line should another spot open up. At this stage we don't have enough wannabe owners for the league to expand.
Orbit City Finds Blind Squirrels' Nuts! Denver's last chance for regular season victory over Cogs isn't seen by fans. Denver, CO; With the crowd silenced by 18 assists from Jose Calderon and a triple-double from Kevin Durant, Squirrels Head Coach Rufus Henry could easily be heard yelling; "Metta Wurl PLEEEEASE!" as Denver forward Metta World Peace loudly passed-gas during a timeout huddle in the 4th quarter last night. The flatulence was symbolic of the Squirrels' effort against the league leading Cogs with 'stinking' Denver struggling to shoot above 40% for the contest. "Ya'll smell dat!?" Henry asked his team. "Dat ain't Metta's stanky ass, dat's 'YO GAME mutha(expletives)!" Henry then proceeded to beat Chandler Parsons with his clipboard until he was restrained by several assistant coaches. The adversity is somewhat foreign to the 2nd place Squirrels. With the exception of a week 14 loss to the Auburn Hills Potato Skins when Denver's water supply was accidently tainted with large quantities of liquid LSD, the Squirrels have been rolling of late. "The 'acid game' was an unfortunate event and our training staff has taken the necessary precautions to ensure that 'game water' isn't accidently substituted for 'post-game water' ever again" stated Squirrels' GM BallDon'tLie. "The people responsible have been dealt with and of course we've distanced ourselves from DeAndre Jordan for his role in the incident." Denver is at it again tonight against Orbit City and hopes to turn things around against the 1st place Cogs. Squirrels Notebook: The "Bring Dirk to Work" event was a huge success and helped raise over $780 for the Longmont Home for Un-Wed Mothers. Arvada's Neil Preebas won a random drawing in which he was awarded the opportunity to bring Squirrels' forward Dirk Nowitzki to work with him. Preebas works as a night Maintenance Engineer at the Comfort Dental office on 38th Avenue in in Northwest Denver. "I work at night after everyone has gone home for the day so it's not like anyone even knew he was there" said Mr. Preebas about his experience. "We smoked a bunch of cigarettes and Dirk pretty much emptied an entire tank of nitrous oxide into his lungs. He seemed to have a pretty good time. He laughed a lot". Safety First Tonight's home game against the Cogs is Chainsaw Safety night. Bring your chainsaw to the game as representatives from Home Depot will be on hand to inspect your machine to ensure that it's in proper working condition for the upcoming spring season. Come on out and help us cut-down the Cogs! UPDATE: Due to a Vendor supply issue, Squirrels' Garden Rake Night has been moved to next Tuesday. The first 1,900 fans will receive a free logo rake.
Hello ladiesgentlemen. I would say it's nice to be on board but we are losing this week and therefore I cannot appreciate the subtle beauty of life. I have instructed the team that this is the last week that a loss will be considered acceptable. Thereafter I will be passing out one or more pink slips each week until the situation improves. There are no sacred cowsBillLaimbeer is a cowGood times.

Does anyone know of UK suppliers of sintra/foamex/PVC sheeting or whatever is available on this side of the pond? Preferably an online store. All I can seem to find are hefty price tags in the hundreds which is certainly not cost effective compared to finished helmets you can buy. I'm planning on using 2mm for the helmet and gauntlets, and 5mm for armour/shoulder bells/kneepads, and use whatever's left to scrap up a jet pack with whatever greebles I have on hand. EBay has shown me 3mm and 5mm PVC sheet which comes to £40 when totalling up the amount of sheets I'll need. Is this a fair price?
Or would greyboard be a better cost effective choice for helmet/gaunts? I intend to wear it in bars so would like it to be pretty sturdy to handle a few knocks.

|Sara Ramirez, a beautiful fat woman with long black hair, walks confidently in a tight red dress. From Wikipedia.
Fat is just an adjective.
That's it. It's a word that describes, subjectively, a physical characteristic. Like big, or thick, or curvy, or beautiful.
It's not an insult. It's not definitive. It's not an argument.
Yet so many people take it that way. To many readers, "fat" is a declaration of war.
When I wrote about Joan from Mad Men, people immediately criticized me, a size-14 woman who identifies as fat, for calling a size-14 woman fat. When Tasha Fierce described the lovely Sara Ramirez as fat, people immediately attacked her for her word choice. Fat is a word that gets people going; those three letters contain all of the sizism and prejudice that kyriarchy force-feeds women. Fat seems to erase any positive description - even if it's paired with beautiful or sexy, many readers will ignore it and focus on fat. If these readers don't see the noun attached to this particular adjective as disgusting or unattractive, it's wrong, and a personal affront.
When I describe myself as fat to my friends, at first they go, "Don't be silly, you're not fat!" Because I am attractive, because I am curvy and my stomach appears flat when standing, because I am confident and carry myself with knowledge of my beauty, the attack that most hear when I say fat shouldn't apply to me.
There's a certain conception, that fat means one thing and not another. That fat means a certain size and shape that's beyond bodies like mine. Snarky's Machine articulated this in the comments at Tasha's post above:
She has been targeted for her weight, and fat policing and shaming the author because Ms. Ramirez is not a size 20 + is really problematic. Also, isn't the idea of "fat enough" a bit anti-feminist and reductive. Fat is not a destination, it's a spectrum and includes people that other folks might not frame as "fat".Those of us at the chubby end of the spectrum are targeted because of our weight and often feel left out of conversations about fatness because of our "inbetweenie" status.Now, bodies like mine experience lots of thin privilege. We're able to see bodies like mine as beautiful, so they can't experience that specific oppression. And we don't, not some of it. I don't experience the same discrimination that women who are bigger, like the author of Living ~400 Lbs, or Marianne Kirby of The Rotund. Though I'm no better or more beautiful than these women, I experience privilege that they do not.
But I do experience stigma and discrimination, and so do famous fat women. Christina Hendricks is stigmatized for being fat: discussion of her body takes up much of the conversation around her, crowding out her subtle and confident portrayal of a woman stuck in a bad place in a bad time. Sara Ramirez is stigmatized for being fat: it may bar her from being as big a star as she could be. America Ferrera is constantly expected to represent all other fat women. Sara Rue needs to lose weight to make it onto tabloid covers (and she's done it several times). These women bear extra weight of oppression and challenge specifically for their weight.
And of course these women usually won't identify as fat. Fat is not an okay word, especially in Hollywood. But fat is still a word that I'm free to use, like pretty, like gorgeous, like beautiful. It describes bodies that are fat like mine, beautiful like mine.
The fact that they don't actively identify with a specific adjective or phrase doesn't mean that I am using it to attack them. Christina Hendricks might not identify as "stunning" but she is. Sara Ramirez might not actively say that she is incredibly gorgeous, but she is.
Fat is not an attack on these beautiful women. It's an adjective. It's a way to describe why I find the beauty of Joan Holloway to be powerful. It's a way to tell others that fat is, actually, okay. It's a way to take a word that you may see as disgusting and tell you that it's actually not.
You don't have to use that specific word to describe Christina Hendricks or Sara Ramirez or America Ferrera. That's okay. It's a subjective word, and I use it because it relates to my experience as a fat woman. You can describe women who aren't small as big, or plus-size, or curvy, or whatever. Or you can not describe their body! That's okay, too.
But I use fat, because I'm fat. I'm not using it as a descriptive knife: I'm not attacking their body, I'm not attacking my body, I'm not attacking your body. I'm just using a damn adjective.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by judiz, Aug 27, 2013.
Am I not looking or did no one start a discussion of the MTV video music awards?
The horror of Miley Cyrus caused everyone to delete that show from their memories.
Miley Cyrus is amazing and she is ALL OVER the internet and news today. Yeah, she looked and acted a fool but she is getting more press and word-of-mouth than any of the other artists and that includes the big names who opened and closed the show...Gaga and Perry. Miley just released another great single (Wrecking Ball) and she is probably going to ride this wave of attention to another hit single and a #1 album in October. She knew what she was doing and it worked perfectly. Well played, Miley, well played...
why can't she keep her tongue in her head? she looks like a giraffe, especially with those hellboy hair horns
Miley Cyrus was blah, but I think some of the outrage was hilarious, especially from Mika Brezinski. However, I have to commend Miley for getting people to talk about the VMAs.
I found Miley hilariously sad. She looked a child acting out, hoping someone would notice her. And Robin Thicke was basically ignoring her.
She's all over tv and internet but as a punch line, not as an outstanding artist that blew everyone away with how great it was. I know the entertainment business believes that any publicity is good publicity, but would anybody really prefer to be known as the joke of the month instead of kick-ass musician? Miley's performance was pathetic!
I did not see the whole show; just bits and pieces on CNN. I thought whatever she did was disgusting. Music appeal to one's higher feelings, but somehow many celebrities prefer to appeal to their lowest low.
She made Mr. Seaver look like a dirty old man.
My favorite part of Miley's performance was the crowd shots; during the Justin Timberlake/Nsync and Bruno Mars performances, everyone was up dancing and singing, yet during Miley's, everyone was stone-faced and some looked like they were trying to hold back laughter.
Miley was way over the top for me personally, she could have done those numbers without being all slutty ..... but guess she's got the last laugh on everyone. She is all anyone is talking about, which I assume was her goal all along.
Way back when he started singing and getting noticed, and before I knew who Robin Thicke was (as in I saw him on TV shows but didn't know his name) I kept wondering why he looked so much like Mike Seaver's dad. Still can't get over how much he looks (and sounds!) like his dad!
I don't have cable, so I have only seen Miley's performance. Honestly if she kept her tongue in her mouth it wouldn't have been half as bad (still pretty bad though). Was she trying to be sexy? I'm not sure what that was supposed to be.
And when did performer's stop wearing pants?
Also- Johnny Weir tweeted in was horrible. When HE thinks a performance is over the top awful/outrageous, you know you've gone too far.
I hate it when the lackluster offspring of some famous guy from the 1990s tries to prove maturity by acting like a skank.
I wasn't impressed with Miley either.
That's what I thought. Combining the two of them made crass even more crass. I found the whole thing sad, though. To me, Miley is coming across as kind of pathetic. I guess if she's just looking for short-term attention, it might have worked. But it seems kind of ick and sad to me. You know something's wrong when Nick Cannon's response is to say that he's not going to let his kids be in show business.
ETA: Sometimes less is more. I liked the performance by Macklemore and Lewis (and Lambert and Hudson).
ITA. I must be getting old, because my first thoughts when reading the CNN article were 1) what the hell is "twerking?" and 2) is this Robin Thicke guy I keep hearing about related to the dad in Growing Pains? (and of course a quick google search revealed yes, yes he was)
I didn't really get what Miley was trying to accomplish besides trying to shed her Disney image once and for all. Honestly I wonder if she would have been better off going in a different direction as an artist- I recall seeing an interview once where she revealed she doesn't even like pop music and is more into rock. With her throaty voice that would seem like a better genre for her (something akin to Paramore maybe). Right now she comes across as a Ke$ha wannabe, IMO.
Kind of? I'd say completely.
The obvious comparison is to Brittney's coming of age performance in the gold lame body suit. But Brittney – at the time – had a smokin' hot body and didn't do the weird tongue antics. Miley's body is okay but not good enough to make something like this work. She would have had to go a Bjork route and do more quirky and less slutty to have a hope of pulling something unusual off. Epic fail on her part.
Do you mean this one?
Brittany looks downright covered compared to what Miley was wearing...
Also, Brittany didn't behave like a lunatic on stage. That was really what got me more than the outfits. But I also don't know what the hell twerking is, so maybe that is what 'the kids these days' are all doing?
I went to look and see what is known as tweaking and I was not impressed on single bit. Looks like "shaking your booty" taken to the next step --looking like a bitch in heat and trying to entice a male to help you out.
This is one of those things where a young adult is in the unfortunate position of having her growing pains behavior on the national stage. I like Miley and I like her energy and can sympathize with a 20 year old desire to be cutting edge (or what you think is cutting edge). Hopefully she has enough internal gravitas to navigate through this.
Or accepts better advice about how to accomplish her goals.
But since the wretched "We Can't Stop" turned out to be a hit, who knows? I thought the most part of the whole thing was that MTV bleeped out "molly" but left in, well, everything else.
I must be older than all of you- don't know what "twerking" is, have seen several references to "Molly" but don't know what that is either. Also, what was up with the teddy bears??
Has Robin Thicke made any public statements about it? Here's a guy, mid-thirties, that hasn't had huge mainstream success until "Blurred Lines." I believe it was his first VMA performance and like it or not, he had the song of the summer. It was his "moment" that was totally overshadowed. He can't be too happy. During the performance, he was basically ignoring her while she was grinding all over him. Wonder who told him it would be a good idea??? I wonder what his wife thinks??
The whole thing was gross.
Molly is a drug nickname, can't recall for what- heroin maybe? It's like calling marijuana Mary Jane.
No idea what the hell is up with the teddy bears, though they appear in the video too (honestly, the video is worse than the VMA act, I just watched that...) The thing that is slightly better about the video is that the teddy bear people are not all black women. I think Miley is getting a TON of (deserved) heat about cultural appropriation of the twerking and a virtual minstrel show and objectification of black women (The butt slapping has really upset quite a few bloggers too, but the not at all subtle 'these women are animals'- eek) in addition to her slut shaming for the gross performance she put on.
Tasteless, and perhaps overcompensating for Hanna, but her choice. And, it is the VMA's after all. However, I did like this take:
Twerking is a way of shaking your butt. That was a new one for me.
Molly is a nickname for Ecstasy. That one I already knew.
Twerking is a way of shaking your butt. That was a new one for me.
Molly is a nickname for Ecstasy. That one I already knew.
Forbes apparently admires Miley's entrepreneurial style: http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackoma...iggest-winner-at-vmas-despite-lack-of-awards/
I see what you did there.
On the one hand....how totally....expected. Every coming of age former teen pop star goes through the slutty phase. And, let's face it, dancers are supposed to express physically the nature of the music they're dancing to. Miley's dancing around to a song with lyrics described as "rapey". She's not going to be busting out moves from Swan Lake. And she is absolutely the topic of conversation. Not good conversation, but there's no such thing as bad publicity. I bet Lady Gaga thought that her thong was going to be the topic of conversation. Wrong.
On the other hand....you're given a huge stage and audience of millions....why not try to aim higher than the lowest common denominator? When Madonna was ripping off previous cultural phenomena, it involved mimicking Marlene Dietrich and Marie Antoinette. Miley's mimicking the ratchet-est of video hos. Unless there's some sort of obscure Japanese subculture that she's referencing with the bears and the tongue? (Seriously, what's with the tongue?)
From what I've been told "that's what white people think it is".
Kind of like how "white people got the Harlem Shake all wrong".
Being "white people" though, I really don't know.

Posted by James Staten on August 26, 2013
There is a reason the phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," has held significance and power in our society for so many generations. And in that phrase is a lesson for all of us about business analysis. The power of different points of view examining a given set of inputs is key to truly understanding what lies before us and seeing the new possibilities and different threats looming.
Sit silently in a museum listening to the patrons take in just a single painting and within a day you will hear a hundred different insights, many of which you didn't see before. Insights that show you things in that artwork you never would have seen, such as the way greens and reds are mixed to create hues that don't invoke their origins, the style of brushstrokes used that convey depth and how a pattern viewed up close can be very different than the whole. So much insight doesn't stem from the painting but from the varied experiences, backgrounds, cultures and histories the observers bring with them. The same is true in data analysis. It's through different points of view that something can be fully analyzed. Each person brings their varied experiences (their data) to the analysis.
As businesses we tend not to sit silently and take in what others see about ourselves and our data. We tend not to expose our data at all to our partners, trusted third parties or potential collaborators (like our customers) and by not doing so, they cannot combine their data with ours and uncover things we cannot see. As a result, we cannot see the broader picture. And this leads to bad business decisions based on a myopic point of view.

It is going to be a real challenge to convert it. the way the mechanism works with the firing pin being totally enclosed and not accessable and the total lack of room inside the receiver wil make it a real challenge.
it has a lot of precisely made parts as well. I have been wanting one for a long time and the best deal we could get was about a year ago from oow if we bought 6 or more for 3300.00 this was a real bargain by those standards. but times are tough for all at the moment and there are lots of bargains to be had if you have some $$$.
I sold a lot of extras from the collection before the election when prices were high and now am buying a lot of desireable stuff at reasonable prices.
I would make a postie out of it but have no place to shoot it so I will make it a semi. If I had a place to shoot I would have several posties in the rack!!

Prme Minister Recp ERdogan reached out to his secular political opponents in an effort to reach some form of agreement which would satisfy their concerns over his religious minded Justice and Development Party's(AKP) actions. There is great concern in Turkey over attempts by secular minded leaders to have the Constitutional Court declare the AKP as an unconstitutional political organization which seeks to over throw the secular foundation of the Turkish nation. Erdogan said, "We will never make our people pay a price for this. Turkey cannot be turned away from its democratic path." He promised his party will do its best to respect the secular democratic nature of the nation.
Erdogan is caught between the law case seeking closure of his party and Turkey's neeed to make constitutional changes in order to meet requirements of the European Union. The EU demands ending laws which make criminal any critical remarks made about the government. The AKP has to assure secular minded Turks there will not be any attempt to impose shariah law on the people of Turkey or force religion to become part of educational or government institutions.

AMES, Iowa – Bare-root plants begin their life growing in a nursery field and are harvested in the fall, when all of the soil is shaken from their roots. Because they do not have a soil ball they are considerably lighter, less expensive to ship and therefore cost less than balled and burlapped or container-grown plants. Retailers prefer to sell them before they break bud and produce leaves – which comes very early in the growing season (March and April). But early is not always better as horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explain. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
As the name suggests, bare-root trees and shrubs have no soil around their roots. Bare-root nursery stock is dug in late fall, placed in cold storage, then shipped to garden centers or gardeners in early spring. Bare-root trees and shrubs should be dormant upon receipt of shipment or purchase. Disadvantages of bare-root trees and shrubs are the length of the planting season and size. Bare-root plant material should be planted in early spring before it begins to leaf out. Bare-root deciduous trees are generally available up to 8 feet in height. Evergreens are usually less than 2 feet tall. Bare-root trees and shrubs, however, are the most economical type of nursery stock. They are usually the best choice when purchasing large quantities of trees and shrubs for windbreaks or hedges.
Bare-root trees and shrubs must be planted in early spring before growth begins. If rainy weather or other circumstances prevent planting within a few days of purchase, store bare-root material in a cool location, such as a garage or root cellar, until planting is possible.
Prior to planting, soak the tree's roots in a bucket of water for one to two hours. Also, prune off damaged or broken roots.
When ready to plant, dig a hole that is 2 to 2.5 times wider than the spread of the tree's root system. The depth of the hole should be equal to the distance from the tree's trunk flare to the bottom of its roots. The trunk flare is the point where the trunk begins to spread out as it meets the roots. Build a cone-shaped mound of soil in the center of the hole. Place the tree on top of the mound. The trunk flare should be even with the surrounding soil surface. Spread the roots evenly over the mound. Then begin backfilling with the original soil. As you backfill, firm the soil in the hole with your hands. Place soil to the trunk flare. Finally, water the tree thoroughly.
Many shade and fruit trees are propagated by grafting. The graft union is located near the base of the tree's trunk and is denoted by a bulge or crook in the trunk. The graft union is typically 1 to 3 inches above the trunk flare. When planting bare-root trees, be careful not to confuse the graft union with the trunk flare.

text: cmon cloudwalker...you're calling amir 6'8-6'9 when he's clearly around 6'11 and very obviously taller than tayshaun. plus he actually likes to hang around in the paint. you get tay and sheed out there...sheed's already on the perimeter and tay forgets he's supposed to be a 4 (or when he remembers you'll notice how easily he gets outmuscled for rebounds and can't hang onto the ball). we lost the game when we went with tay at the 4 for the reasons i just mentioned above, along with taking bad shots w/long rebounds that allowed philly to run and we never got back on D. he also couldn't stay in front of iguodala, but AA could. and yeah i don't really blame AI for that pass because no one was cutting toward the basket like they should've been. but as for positives, players are starting to cut more (especially jmax) and getting some easy baskets. stuckey is looking better and better. we are meshing on offense. rip is doing better.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TheeTFD, Jul 24, 2006.
Why not? Big Ben did.... oh....
Above all else JD is loyal to CB.
I would expect Chauncey to report in gr8 shape this fall... being his contract year he may be looking out for #1 (himself) more this year.... I'll be watching his assists more this year. I really don't think of CB as a max type player... although I'm done predicting the market after the Bulls overspending.... however there are very few contending teams with significant cap space next year. I would say that teams like his home town Denver will make a push in a S&T (Miller and fodder). Chauncey will be entering the market at 31 years old... not exactly a spring chick at the PG position starting a long term deal... Hopefully the Miami performance was an anomaly I'm concerned about his lack of mobility on defense becoming even more of a liability. I think he will eventually slide into a combo guard role which could extend his effectiveness. I'm not ready to break the bank for CB... possibly 9-10M first year... unless Mr. D turns a new leaf
$9~$10 million to start? CB's new deal will start at no less than $12.5 million (barring injury or some terrible statistical collapse). Write it down.
How much did we offer Ben before he turned it down and went off to Chicago? I hope we are not going to offer Chauncey more than we offered Ben. $12.5 sounds like more than Ben was offered. I think Chauncey and Flip Saunders are a bad combination.
This is Mr. D we're talking about... sure he could get a larger offer somewhere else... if we sign CB for 13+ first year we're are locked up financially for several years without a chance of adding ANY FA's. 31 year old starting at near max in the D?... ain't happenin' BTW 9-10M is what I would pay given our restraints not what the market will bear (which is very thin)
Oh, I thought we were talking about what Chauncey will realisticially get. The Pistons? Joe hasn't been impressing me lately. He'll probably offer $8 million and unlimited Birthday Party appearances by Hooper. While that is hard to turn down, someone is going to nearly max out CB. You got deep pockets Merc, but I wouldn't pay CB more than what I think Joe will offer. Hooper is great with kids.
It's hard to put a price tag on a birthday appearance by Hooper. Ideally, CB's salary will fit in with the other Piston starters. Sheed will be making $12.54 million in 2007-08. Rip will be making $9.75 million in 2007-08. Tay will be making about $8.64 million in 2007-08.
I believe Ben's final offer was 52.6 mil which was over 13 mil a year. I can't imagine that we would offer any less for Chauncey. And remember people, that Bill D. spent his own money on the Palace and was the first owner to buy his team their own plane. I think we underestimate Bill D's commitment to the team. Perhaps Ben was not worth 60 million. Bill D. didn't get so rich by being stupid.
I have a feeling cbill will be traded this season. Just a feeling. Perhaps in a push for more youth
I've been doing some work on salaries and production and will be putting an article together sometime soon. Till then, I dug into my spreadsheet to see how I rated CB. By my reckoning he is the 13th most under-appreciated NBA player is terms of salary, pulling down $6 mil and deserving, based on his statistical production, a bit over $12 mil. FYI - By my ranking BBen was the fourth most underpaid, and should have gotten $13.7 mil last year. DWade was the most underpaid last year, getting $3 mil and deserving $15+ mil.
This is why the Ben issue was so tough. He deserves $13.7M, but we would have had to pay $15M. So he is a very valuable player, but we would have had to "overpay" him. Smart fold. We weren't getting implied pot odds.
If I had to guess right now, I would say the Pistons will offer Billups a 4-year deal worth $60 million (starting at $13 million w/10% increases). That would put him a little higher than Sheed ($12.54 million in 07/08).
And there is of course the issue of paying in the future for past performance. That's the gamble the Bulls are taking. Or any team takes when it signs a player to a big deal.
I'm not sure about paying for past performance when it comes to Ben and the Bulls. Ben brings so many intangibles that simply cannot be found in any quantity during free agency. The Bulls are paying for playoff experience, a player with a clean public record, a legendary work ethic and a locker room leader. Try going out into FA to buy a 4 time DPOY. Or a top ten rebounder and shot blocker with 12 games of Finals experience. Not to mention that if he is featured to any degree with the Bulls, Ben is a lock for another All-Star appearance, which does bring some measure of prestige to the club. In marketing and season ticket sales alone, I am quite sure Ben's indirect impact on the club bottom line will be positive, even if the recent trend of slightly declining #s continues. It's all about the Benjamins. This is win win for the Bulls. All Piston fan sour grapes put aside.
No doubt. Ben will bring a lot more to Chicago than just stats. He legitimizes them in a way they really needed. He is the kind of player fans love to love and the Bulls needed that on the heels of Curry and the last few years. But it is just one more example of how difficult the GM's job really is. Based on what Ben has done, and can do for that franchise, he is worth what they paid and maybe more. It is a gamble though - four years is a long time. Same with CB. Perhaps more so since CB doesn't bring those same sorts of intangibles. He won't fill seats in quite the same way though he certainly has the skills to bring home the win. (Remember ten points in 90 seconds or whatever that crazy thing he did last season was.)
---------------------------- I'm thinking CB's agent might've slipped this guy a dime!
Yes, but I draw the line at 4 years (I'm sure CB wants 5) at an average $15M. $15M is bad enough, but $20M?...THAT'S CRAZY MONEY!!! After Ben's departure, I will never have faith in a player's loyalty again. CB will bolt for the cash. I've often wondered if player's don't really have a sense of loyalty...or if it's their agent constantly whispering in their ear..."you're worth more than that"
I can't see CB leaving Detroit,....unless it is to go "home" to the chicken Nuggets.

HUBBARD, Iowa – New opportunities exist for harvesting corn stover in support of central Iowa cellulosic ethanol plant biomass feedstock needs. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host a meeting at the Hubbard Golf and Recreation Club on July 9 to address emerging stover harvest opportunities.
The Corn Stover Harvest Meeting follows a noon lunch and there is no fee to attend. Registration is required for preparation of lunch and handout materials. The meeting is supported in part by grant funding from Iowa Energy Center.
Stover harvesting can impact economic, agronomic and water quality production factors. This meeting will address many of the positives and negatives of stover harvesting and discuss how stover harvesting can be managed within corn production in central Iowa. Crop producers, land owners, crop consultants, agronomists, service providers and others with interest in stover harvest and its removal from farm fields are encouraged to attend.
University speakers include: Chad Hart, extension agricultural marketing specialist; Kapil Arora, extension agricultural engineering specialist; Mark Licht, extension field agronomist; and Kelvin Leibold, extension farm management specialist. Industry speakers on the agenda are Dennis Penland, DuPont business development manager; David Ertl, Iowa Corn Growers Association technology commercialization manager; and Andrew Heggenstaller, DuPont agronomy research manager. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with industry representatives during lunch and after the meeting adjourns.

Free speech and academic freedom
Update: Some related concerns from deepclimate.org, if these claims can be verified.
In a recent interview for a Norwegian magazine (Teknisk Ukeblad, 0412), the IPCC chair Rajendra Kumar Pachauri told the journalist that he had received death threats in connection with his role as a head for the IPCC. There have also been recent reports of threats and harassment of climate scientists for their stance on climate change (Kerry Emanuel. Katharine Hayhoe, Australian climate scientists, Phil Jones, Barton campaign, and Inhofe's black list).
These incidents appear as an unpleasant deja vu from my past, smacking of attempts to suppress the freedom of speech. They remind me of the days when I did my national service as a border patrol at the Soviet-Norwegian border in 1988-1989 (Norway and Russia – then Soviet – share a 196 km long common border in the high north), where we stood up for our freedom and democracy. Freedom of speech was tacitly implied as one of the ingredients of an open democracy, which in our minds was the West. There was an understanding that the other side of the iron curtain represented an oppressive regime.
If the people who threat and harass climate scientists were to have their way, I fear we would be heading for a world resembling the other side of the iron curtain of 1989. The absence of oppression and harassment is a prerequisite for sound and functioning science. Oppressive regimes are not known for producing good science, and blind ideology have often been unsustainable. Therefore, threats and such dishonorable campaigns represent a concern.
Another unpleasant aspect of the direction taken by the public discource is the character of the rhetoric, which too exhibit similarities to that of the cold war. I still remember some of the propaganda that could be heard on the radio – translated to Norwegian. Too often these days, the debate is far from being informative but has turned into something like a beauty contest and he-said-she-said affair.
So it is important to keep in mind: Don't shoot the messenger who is only doing her/his job. It would really be a disservice to the society. Any open and free democracy has to be based on true information and knowledge. When big and powerful media corporations start to look like past state-run propaganda machines, where slogans have replaced common sense and expert knowledge, then we're heading in the wrong direction.

To the Editors:
I especially enjoyed Pat Shipman's column "Why Is Human Childbirth So Painful?" (Marginalia, November–December). As a former professor of gross anatomy, I have always subscribed to the "obstetrical dilemma hypothesis." But after reading this column, I tend toward the alternative that childbirth has become more difficult as improved diet has increased newborn body size. Humans have enjoyed a calorie-rich diet from well before the dawn of what is called civilization. So one might have to go back to the early hominid Australopithecus to compare precivilization human brain, pelvis, and body sizes.
From 1976 to 1994 my primary National Institutes of Health grant was to investigate relationships between protein-calorie nutritional insufficiency and brain growth and development. My previous work has made me wary of broad conclusions based on measurements of humans' growth, because the variation that one can observe among individuals is so huge. In the matter of body and brain size for age, we have no idea what is biologically "normal" for Homo sapiens. Pediatricians can show mothers growth charts, which are founded on a limited sample, but they can't say what is normal. Somewhere at the intersections of physiology, anatomy, genetics, and physical anthropology, there are probably answers. I would love to see the brain sizes of Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and other hominids plotted for comparison with Holly Dunsworth's plots of brain size in modern humans and apes.
Regardless of the mother's nutritional circumstances, I am aware that it is exceedingly difficult to undernourish a fetus in utero, but I do think an anthropological approach to the obstetrical–energetics debate would yield valuable information. Diet may be a key factor.
Richard Wiggins
Apex, NC
I enjoyed reading Pat Shipman's column concerning "Why Is Human Birth So Painful?" but was troubled by the anthropocentric approach and some factual errors. Dr. Shipman is wrong when she states, "Human newborns are unique among mammals [that give birth to a single young] in that our babies cannot immediately get up, feed, and walk around." The order Chiroptera (bats) contains over 1,000 species, and about 90 percent give birth to only a single offspring at a time, as detailed in a paper that Thomas Kunz and I published in the Symposia of the Zoological Society of London in 1987. Although developmental state at birth varies among species, many bats are born blind, hairless, and helpless.
Dr. Shipman also is incorrect in stating that humans "bear large babies." The offspring of bats are the largest of all mammals, relative to size of the mother. The mass of the average newborn bat is 22 percent of the mass of its mother postpartum, with some neonates weighing an incredible 43 percent of maternal mass. Human babies, in contrast, represent only a paltry 7 percent or less of their mothers' mass.
Further, the hypothesis that humans are born in an underdeveloped state because the mother can no longer obtain the energy and nutrients for continued intra-uterine growth totally ignores the fact that lactation is energetically more demanding than pregnancy for virtually every eutherian mammal, from aardvarks to zebras. The demands of lactation are not unique to humans. Also, if a female bat can obtain energy and nutrients to create a fetus amounting to 43 percent of her mass, humans may be special and unique only in that, in many ways, their abilities fall short of what other mammals can do.

What is good for the tube running under the attachment on the right gauntlet? And how do you attach it? To the gaunt or the resin side piece?
Printable View
What is good for the tube running under the attachment on the right gauntlet? And how do you attach it? To the gaunt or the resin side piece?
I suggest lot of epoxy or super glue, which the Epoxy will work better just in case (remember the white marks the Super Glue leaves when drying?) ;)
Robert :fettrotj
What about the actual tube? What did you use? A copper plumbing pipe?
Not sure about the origin of the real one, but those plasic or copper toilet tubes seem to be the same diameter (and only cost a buck or two). I glued mine on as well, but I think I ran two small screws (from the inside of the gauntlet outward) in there as well in the event one of my hoses got caught up on something (wouldn't want to rip it off of there).
Anyone know what the diameter of the tube should be? I was in Home Depot and saw copper tubing, but in giant rolls.
I believe it is 3/8" tubing. I went to Home Depot and found mine. It's Copper, and it is in the section where the toilet tank kits and stuff is. It is the water line that goes from the spicket coming out of the wall, to the toilet tank. It has like a mushroom shape on one end. Then I cut it to size and Glued it on with lots of JB weld. you can see mine attached at:
Click the folder titled hose connecters.
Hope this helps.
Robert E. :fettrotj
I bought a 3/8" brass tube from HobbyTownUSA. It was only a couple bucks.
I bought a brass tube from Hobby Lobby Also, but liked the thickness of the copper better. Just personal preference. If I remember correctly, the copper tube was under $2.
Either way, including plastic, would work. I bought a plastic tube also, but was concerned with it breaking if my hose caught on anything. I thought about using velcro to attach my tubes under my short sleeve so it would come off at that connection instead of at the Gauntlet.
Also, roughen up the area of the tube to be glued just to make sure it has something to grab(the Glue).
I'll shut up now :)
Robert E. :fettrotj
What is a good way of securing this tube under the resin side piece of the right gaunt?
A two combination of ''epoxy'' try PC-7 found at most hardware stores and any HOMEDEPOT..

My question is, if it is VVS2 and comes with the GIA certification, the diamond will not have any inclusions visual to the naked eye, correct? I wish this certificate had the inclusion map (or do they not give you one for VVS2+?) It does mention pin point. Is that the smallest type of inclusion? I have seen feather, crystal, etc.
I attached the GIA cert. to this post, because i couldn't get the link to work for some reason.
I have read alot about the craftsmanship on their settings which is why I want to purchase the loose diamond only and have it set at a local jeweler. Will jewelers do this cost effectively or is there going to be a huge fee to set a diamond in their setting?
I have also read that Blue Nile's cut grading system is, for lack of a better word, flawed; but if it comes with a GIA certificate claiming excellent cut, does it matter what Blue Nile lists it as?
I bolded all of my questions. Thank you in advance for your expert council, I have been reading these forums for about a week and you all have given awesome advice to many others.

photos from start to finish
i am about to go crazy. i have been trying to post photos in the album for the last 3 hours and can't seem to get anything to happen.
i read that you can take regular pics and have them scaned on to a disk at walmart, so that is what i did.
so i then made seperate desktop files for each and every one of them.
so i go into the photo album and click the browse and pull up the photo i want to upload and click submit, and nothing happens. so i wait, and wait and wait. nothing has happened for an hour. WTF?
does it take all day/night to upload a damn pic?
oh and a couple of times i got a message that the format was wrong. how do i change the format?
can someone help, please before break this damn thing?
thanks Aaron
AKM....if you are still around PM me and I will hold your hand through this difficult process. LOL!! BTW, if you have the pics saved as a bitmap (bmp) they will take forever to load then will be too large. You have to save them as a JPG file. Forget the PM, I'll try to walk you thru it here. First off make a folder on your desktop. To do that shrink the Hotrodders screen to half size. To do that click the double square between the - and the X in the upper right hand corner. Now using the mouse, RIGHT CLICK on your desktop. Then click on NEW. Then click on FOLDER. Now name this folder "Pics to Upload". Now enlarge the HotRodders screen to full size by clicking on the square again. Also here is a little tip...if the screen is not maximized just double click the title bar at the very top and it will maximize. OK hold on now here we go. If your pics are not a JPEG here is what to do....
1. Open up Microsoft Paint
2.FILE, OPEN, then at the bottom where it says FILES OF TYPE click on ALL FILES.
3. Double click on the picture.
4 Then FILE, SAVE AS, Save in (scroll thru until you find Pics to Upload) and Save as Type- JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg *.jpeg)
Do this for any pic that is not a JPEG. Note that after the first pic you save the others that you click SAVE AS will default to your folder. Just make sure they are JPEG.
Now to Upload Photos
1. Go to the Photo Album
2. Right above the Recent Post pics look to the right where it says UPLOAD PHOTOS and click on that.
3. When that window pops up look to where it says Photo to upload: and click on Browse.
4. When the Choose File window pops up...where it says look in...click on that until you find DESKTOP and click on that, then find the folder PICS TO UPLOAD and click on that.
5. Double click on the pic you want to upload. This should now go back to the Browse and should say C:\ and the name of the pic
6.Now scroll down a little bit and hit UPLOAD/SUBMIT
7. You should now be good to go.
If you have any other questions let me know and I'll see if I can simplify some more. Good luck.
i'm at a loss.
the pics were already set as jpeg and i followed all of the directions that you gave me, but still no luck. is there some way to check the progress of the upload?
oh well, i guess it doesn't like my pics :( .
thanks for your help anyway. later Aaron
To the top.:)
Send some of the pics that won't upload to me at email@example.com. Be sure to include the EXACT error message that you are getting.
Album Help!!!
Sorry for butting in, but I have an album problem also. The first part of January '04 I uploaded quite a few pictures in order of project completion, they didn't post in the sequence I uploaded, they actually aped to be backwards. Mulled over the album for a week, then they were gone and I only had 5 older pictures there from my old album - the new album was gone.
I attempted to delete the album with 5 in it and it's still there.
I want to upload my project in order, what determines the picture posting order? Alphabetically, if I numbered them would they post low to high or what? should I "back" them in?
Hmmmm, Larry
Re: Album Help!!!
Gotta love technology! Thanks Frisco, once I do that I'm going to 'try' to delete the other pictures, that should be a trip, hehe.

Might want to find a long string and a tree stump.....JJ
I was gonna get my arm casted in advance
I'm just going to take a pass. That thing brings out the wimp in me.:)
I've often heard it said, "Be careful what you wish for." I think that's entirely appropriate advice in this case. After all, 'it could come back to bite you'. :mrgreen:
I don't wanna be on the sending OR receiving end of that thing!

Because i am painting my BM armour, i have been looking at many pictures, and also to the ESB movie.
i have seen that the small piece that goes in the middle of the chest is darker than the rest of the armour. But i have seen this only on the ESB armour.
If we do care as making small scratches, dents, and getting the right color....isnt this important also?
What do you think?

[Co-authored with Charles Green]
In my last blog I asked the question, "What's it take to be a smart city?" One of the critical elements lies in smart governance. Smart governance takes leadership, coordination, and collaboration. (Take a look at my recent report, "Smart City Leaders Need Better Governance Tools.") Part of this leadership is finding innovative and cost-effective solutions to intractable problems – and that often lies in engaging constituents for input on the problems and feedback on the solutions. As Charles and I were working on another project, we came across a great example of a US state looking outside the box to solve a real and frustrating problem faced by its citizens.
Posted by Jennifer Belissent on May 15, 2011
What's it take to be a smart city? Is it smart transportation, such as sensors in parking spaces that call out to drivers like sirens calling to Ulysses as he headed back to Ithaca? Or parking meters sending SMS messages to alert those parked that their time is up, like a baby bird calling to be fed? Is it smart buildings that turn the lights on when you enter or off when you leave? Is it smart waste management? Is it smart energy grids? Is it smart water systems? Or smart administration? All of these help make city services and operations more efficient. But the real key to being smart is to have an overall management system that allows leaders to coordinate across these smart systems, capturing and sharing the data generated and using it to inform new policies and city programs. Smart cities require good – "smart" – governance and the processes and tools that enable it.
Increasingly, city leaders are adopting enterprise management practices – and technologies – in order to improve city governance. Smart city leaders:
