Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Catherine M, Jan 11, 2013.
nothing is boring about Cochran Dude was even hilarious busting on his dad
I am over Dawn, too. It really annoys me that she is still there after all her mini-breakdowns. I guess I am rooting for Cochrane. Felt very sad for Brenda.
I think that was the most evil thing I have ever seen Survivor do--and Survivor is evil to the core.
I understand why Dawn was so upset, but the problem with Dawn is that she's always upset. If she had been angry and crying just over this, it would have seemed pretty normal, I think. But because she's always melting down over something, it's really irritating to see her do it AGAIN.
As an aside, Brenda is pregnant and pretty far along; Cochran says she must have been really happy to see her fiance when she got home .
I was hoping that Dawn was so upset that she'd quit - and then Brenda nicely came over and calmed her back down by reminding her that they only had four more days.
I've lost track - does anyone still have an Hidden Immunity Idol? I was thinking that they'd either all been played already or that it was too late to use one. But then Jeff asked The Question during TC and I was startled.
It was a good strategic move to get Brenda out but the timing is horrible... I'm sorry you just don't do a thing like that to someone that did what Brenda did. After watching the Ponderrosa video I hope Dawn is in the final tribal and the jury will chew her out!
I was getting annoyed with Dawn's spastic crying every week but wow she is so going to get it at the final tribal.
I'm more annoyed with Dawn's constant assertions to her allies (or maybe it's just to Cochran) that she's "playing her own game this time" than the crying. Especially when she spent so much time being Phillip's loyal minion! When she said it again to Cochran last night, I could all but see the wheels in his head turning through his translucent skin.
I don't think anyone has a HII anymore. We didn't see/hear anything about a clue being rehidden (Andrea still has hers at Ponderosa), but maybe Jeff just has to ask as long as it's still playable. I think next TC is the last time anyone could use one - although if someone leaves the game through injury or whatever was previewed, perhaps it won't get to be used anyway so they wouldn't bother airing any footage referring to it in this episode since it doesn't end up being an issue.
I didn't start watching until I knew that they had all been eliminated.
I was gutted for Brenda. I really wanted her to win. Cochran is my next choice. I too am over Dawn, never actually was a fan. Too much crying all the time! I think PeterG might be right. I think Eddie is throwing challenges so no one sees him as a threat. But the jury will vote him to win if he makes it ... watch out Cochran.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one fed up with Dawn. I'd love to see Eddie make the final as I think it would be funny if he wound up winning it all. Do you think Eric has the brains to figure out that he was left out of the "vote Brenda tonight" decision?
The backlash against Dawn on Twitter and Facebook has been unbelievably bad. I feel for her -- it can't be easy considering how emotionally fragile she is. Yes she put a knife in Brenda's back, but so did Cochran. And this is a game. It's Survivor. This is not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. I just hope for her own stability that she's not boo'ed on Sunday at the reunion.
Judging only from what was shown and not having read any spoilers, I think that he may have I]chosen[/I] (1) not to vote for Brenda and (2) not to tell her that she was in danger of being blindsided. I think Cochran is going to win, but I wouldn't be shocked if Eddie or Erik somehow managed to snatch the victory.
It's a game Dawn chose to play. A game that she knows is watched by millions of people. :shrug:
Out of all the crappy things that happened to Brenda in the episode, I actually felt most sorry for her having to sit with Dawn and deal with her hysterics after the challenge. I actually believe Brenda was satisfied emotionally with the visit from her dad and achieving a win together and if she could've gone back to camp alone, she would've been fine. Dawn was perfectly happy, as a non-winner, being taken along as an act of charity by Brenda, but flipped out when that gift was given to the others... please. She wasn't entitled to anything. She's coming off more mentally unhinged than Brandon.
I just looked at her Facebook page. The c-word being dropped, comparisons to Hitler et al. Just wow.
I remember well the vitriol spewed at Lil during and after her season - people felt she was a true hypocrite for participating in a game when she talked constantly about playing with the same qualities that she held dear as a Scout Leader, when of course at the end she had to participate in some good ol' Survivor backstabbing just like the rest of them. No surprise that the jury is most bitter toward Dawn, and not Cochran, on that count.
I thought Dawn's anger at not getting the reward was OTT, but I think she also got some highly stylized and unfortunate (for her) editing around that moment. She's right that she neither got the reward nor the social benefit of the magnanimous gesture, and when you're hungry it's hard to think outside that moment - she also didn't get the backlash of the magnanimous gesture, which obviously smacked Brenda in the face, hard.
I think Dawn's got zero chance for winning - not only are people already bitter about her sudden razor-sharp strategic decisions, but I am at the thought of how she will do under final TC questioning. She may may Amanda look like the most composed and confident TC player in comparison.
I watched Brenda's Ponderosa vid and they're all commiserating, and she's got this voice-over about how all these people know what it's like to have people just turn on you so cruelly....cut to Andrea asking Brenda is she knew about the vote (for Andrea). Brenda: oh, um, yeah, I knew about that...and then she goes back to how awful it is to be blindsided and aren't they all together in their victimhood
To be fair, she later says she's not angry at anyone, it's just a game. Phillip: give it a few days.
I don't understand why nobody is targeting the couple. Doesn't anyone who plays this game know that you NEVER let a couple move forward week after week after week? If Erik, Sherri and Eddie have even a tiny amount of brain matter in their heads, they will becoming a voting block of three and take out Cochrane and then Dawn. What's the likelihood of any of these three having a tiny bit of brain matter though...........
Agreed, but do any of them know how tight Dawn and Cochran are? I think they've actually managed to downplay their alliance quite well.
Cochran and Dawn aren't really a "couple" - they were pretty firmly in the alliance of 6, and Dawn's primary strategic allegiance was previously to Phillip, and her friendship one was to Brenda (although didn't Corinne say she told Dawn about her plan because she thought the two of them were super tight? Maybe Dawn is better at the game than it looks from home). now that their core alliance is being gutted, they're looking more like a couple, but it's pretty clear they are an alliance only as long as it suits them.
but it's been made pretty clear that Sherri and Eddie are not master strategists, and while Erik has moments of exteme clarity, he seems to be playing a game both inside and outside all alliances and strategy.
I find myself really liking Erik this time around but I'm not sure why.
I kind of feel Dawn was stupid last time around. But this time ? She's more than stupid if she wants to win. Backstabbing Brenda was the last thing she should have done to win this.
Cochran is a winner I won't enjoy a lot. Because really, I don't feel he deserves it at all.
Cochran is probably the only one I would say deserves the win at this point. Though I will laugh and laugh if that bit about Eddie going on an immunity tear and making it to the finals comes true; especially with this jury that has the potential to be so bitter. If only Corinne could have made it in instead of Matt or Mike or whoever the name of the first juror is.
Dawn has made it a point to create relationships with everyone in the game; it's what she does normally--she's like the neighborhood mom. And everyone has comforted her emotionally and helped her through her meltdowns; that scene with Brenda and Dawn's teeth? That was shown just to make that point.
Cochran has been playing a more cerebral, less emotional game. People like him, but he isn't their substitute mom figure. He has always been The Fan--the guy whose watched Survivor all these years and is a student of the game. No one is going to be surprised when Cochran makes a move because they don't see it as personal.
And we also all got to see Brenda putting Cochran on the block; again, not a coincidence. Brenda will be angry at Dawn, not at Cochran.
Everyone who has been booted so far has expressed surprise that Dawn and Cochran are so close. No one was aware of it at the time. And most of them thought that Dawn was their bestest friend out there. Dawn has said that she wasn't at all insincere in those friendships; it's just that there are friendships and there is the game.
But that Mom thing is going to kill her. Your friends can backstab you in a game, but your mom can't.
Erik studied past seasons to prepare himself for this and decided that Sandra's game was the one to follow--anyone but me.
To be fair to Dawn, people are vilifying her because Brenda's exit was so emotional. If Andrea had broken out in loud sobs, would we have called Brenda an evil witch? What happened to Brenda and Andrea was exactly the same (you shouldn't factor goodwill gifts into the equation in a game like this) except while Brenda took it very personally and emotionally, Andrea laughed and shook it off because SHE remembered it was just a game. Perspective is everything.
No, it's not exactly the same.
1. Dawn specifically asked Brenda to find her retainer at the bottom of that pond and said that she would quit right then and there if Brenda didn't find it.
2. Brenda went out on a limb by picking Dawn to share the "Loved Ones" reward with her, demonstrating once and for all that her closest alliance was with Dawn.
3. Brenda had just been put in an impossible situation of having to choose between making her own family happy (particularly her sister, who had made an intercontinental flight and didn't get to see her) and dashing the hopes of four other players.
None of that was true of Andrea.
Dawn is a selfish jerk passing herself off as an Earth Mother.
Weren't Dawn and Cochran previously on Survivor during the same season? And they worked together all season until one turned on the other? If I was on Survivor, anyone who had been on a previous season together would be assumed a couple. If they had worked together at some point, they would DEFINITELY be on my radar. And if one turning on the other was the downfall of both...and it would make sense this season for them to work as a couple and not make the same mistake as last time...I would DEFINITELY target both to be gone as SOON as possible.
I have no issue with what was done to Brenda. That was the risk and that's part of the game. What bothers me is that Dawn is under the delusion that she's such a strategic player and positioned herself to make it to the end. Which is not the case. Yes, she betrayed Brenda (I have to assume Brenda recognized Dawn's handwriting). But even worse, she doesn't acknowledge how much her survival thus far has been attributed to others bucking her up and not her own inner strength.
The irony is that Dawn is now the best person to take to the final 2, so in that sense she "wins", even as a second place finisher.
Interesting, and perhaps the smartest thing possible. She's the all-time most successful player in Survivor history - played twice, won twice - and yet is often forgotten among the great players, and very few have employed her strategy, let alone successfully.
I was going to ask earlier how Erik had survived this long having other players questioning his loyalty - usually being unpredictable is the worst thing you can do. But now I see it - I haven't watched much of this season, but if he's unlocked the secret of Sandra's success, then maybe he'll win. And what a worthy adversary for Cochran if so - would be great to see the two strategies go head to head in the finale.
And given that Cochran is perhaps the most knowledgeable student of the game to have ever played, does he see what Erik's doing? And does he think he can talk his way around it at final TC? Because that's the ace up Cochran's sleeve.
wow, I don't think either parts of that sentence are true. I think Dawn is a genuinely nice and caring person, but very sensitive and emotional person who is trying to play a game that favors stealth (ugh, I hate that Phillip has ruined that word forever), strategy, and the ability to detach. She's experiencing a ton of upheaval and dissonance, she's completely paranoid and unable to put on a game face about it. She's also got a healthy does of the hypocrisy that most players who get far in the game have - what they do to others is necessary gameplay, but any move against them is a complete betrayal.
Sherri is hands down the best person to have in the finals with anyone else. Even the bitterest jury would never hand her the million.
Re: Erik and Sandra's strategy - he may have studied it, but he hasn't copied it. Sandra was very open about her "anyone but me" strategy both times she played, and she was completely cutthroat in her decisions. Sandra would never be on the wrong side of her alliance votes like Erik has been so many times. But that just means he's taken her strategy and turned it into something new. We really haven't gotten much airtime on his thinking process, and what we have seen has made Erik seem really out of touch, or we get a very insightful comment and then the voting goes in a direction that makes him seem totally out of the loop. Yet he's still here and rarely seems to be a target. And we know he's a very sharp guy. That's what I meant up thread by his playing both inside and outside the game - I blame editing for mucking up his story, because he's definitely got a game, it's just completely out of sync with what we've been shown.
Erik is known for making one of the dumbest moves in Survivor history, and his editing shows him as a spacy loopy guy. It would actually be awesome if he was using his reputation to hide what a shrewd game he's got going on. Based on his edit I have a hard time seeing him win, though. At least, if he does win, I'll feel really gypped as a viewer.
We were supposed to get a F3 this season, right? Now that it looks like someone leaves the game, will it be F2? I hope so.
Also - I probably won't get to watch this on Sunday it will be so hard to stay unspoiled and avoid the thread until possibly Tuesday!
Although Sandra described her strategy as "anyone but me," it was more sophisticated than that, especially in her second season. She paid careful attention to other players' strategies and alliances, held back enough that others took the responsibility for any double-crossing, and managed to surf on top of the waves all the way to victory.
I do see a certain similarity in the way Erik has played, but, as others have said upthread, Cochran is getting the winner's edit. That doesn't mean Cochran actually win. In the Guatemala season, for example, Danielle was virtually invisible (and silent) for several episodes, whereas Rafe seemed to have the winner's edit, but she won in the end. There is only so much the editors and producers can do in shaping the story line when players like Danielle, vecepia, Natalie, Bob, and Jud ("Fabio") win.

Medical Decisions at Age 18
It suddenly seems that I have been in a time warp and so many of my patients who should still be little are showing up for their pre-college physicals. It was hard enough for me to realize that my own children had grown-up, but I am now realizing that my own patients are growing up as well. With many of them now being 18 years old, they are now also in charge of their own health care decisions. This became apparent the other day as I was seeing a long time patient for her 18 year old check up, and I was filling out her college health form as well.
When I got to her immunizations I realized that she had not had the HPV vaccine series, and I then remembered that her parents had decided not to give her this vaccine. (I had discussed the importance of the HPV vaccine with her mother and father every year for the last 4-5 years). As I started to say, Oh I forgot you did not get the HPV vaccine, she chimed in with now that I am 18 years old I want to get that vaccine.
I paused for a few seconds and then she said, I always thought I should get that vaccine and I listened to you every year, but my Dad just didn't think I was old enough to get it. Now that I can make that decision, I think it is a good vaccine and something that I want to have. Can I get it today, and can I come back at the end of the summer and get the second one before heading off to school?
Now I am thrilled that she had been listening to our discussions about HPV and the need to vaccinate, but it also felt a bit weird that she suddenly could make her own decisions about vaccines. In reality, she could make all sorts of decisions now, even though her parents were actually still the holders of her health insurance benefits and would be until at least she was out of college.
I thought about asking her to call her parents one last time to see what they thought she should do, but then decided that she wanted the vaccine and at her age needed the vaccine, so she had the legal right to sign off on it herself---lets get the vaccine.
This is really not about HPV, but rather it is about children becoming adults and getting to make decisions about their own health care. It is also about having a long-standing relationship with patients and hoping that you can help them make good decisions about taking care of themselves and the need for preventative medicine.
She got the shot, she signed, she was happy, I was glad she was going to be protected (once the series of 3 was completed). It was a good day, I just wonder what her parents thought?

I love how we are quoted chapter and versus from theists all the time. So I thought it would be fun to come up with your favorite personal versus. They can be things that you live by or just simply how you are feeling. Here's what I have come up with:
Robert 10:12 I really don't care what you think!
Robert 12:24 You can kiss my atheist @ss!
Robert 35:17 Be the goat!
Robert 16:54 You pray for me, I will think for you.
Your turn!
Views: 5169
Grady, 1:1-2 "If I wanted your prayers, I would have asked for them. NOW CALL ME A FUCKING DOCTOR!!!!"
Grady, 1:3 "There is nothing wrong with this world that a long string of funerals couldn't solve."
Grady, 1:4 "If I had a dollar for every time someone said they'd pray for me...I'd have none, because my ass is so deep in debt I will never dig it out."
Grady, 1:5-6 "I don't have morality? Buddy, my morality is the only thing that's keeping me from kicking your ass!"
Grady, 1:7-13 "I'm an atheist. Nothing you can say is going to change that. You can beat be black and blue, and I will still be an atheist. Don't waste your breath, don't waste my time. Accept it, and move on. Or Don't. The amount of fucks I give is dropping dramatically by the second."
Grady, 1:14-16 "If I had a fucking TARDIS, there would be no more theists. I would take the time to go back in time, and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are no gods. Then, you know, I'd go forward in time until I found someone who could make me immortal, because fuck this dying bullshit."
Grady, 1:17 "If the bible is the only proof you need of the existence of a god, then Harry Fucking Potter is the only evidence I need of the existence of Wizards and Witches."
Grady, 1:18 "If God is watching me all day every day, then he's got some weird, disturbing fetishes that he and Sigmund Freud need to discuss."
Grady, 1:19-28 "I know a guy who has risen from the dead no less than ten times! He can move through space and time, and loves humanity more than humanity loves itself! He goes out of his way to rescue us, even from ourselves, and you know what his name is? No? I don't know his name either. Only one person knows his name. The universe simply knows him as...Doctor Who. What? You thought I was talking about God? Dumb ass..."
Grady, 1:29-33 "Zeus is a dead god. Jupiter is a dead god. Odin is a dead god. Quetzalcoatl is a dead god. How long do you think it will be before your precious Allah, your loving Yahweh, your wonderful God is just another Dead God?"
I had a prof. mention to me once, 'I think you mumble, so you can be insulting, without being asaulted!'
It seems to take an infinite amount of commentary, to define a finite number of theists!
If I wanted a personality cult, I would have eaten more wild aspargus!
And God said, 'let there be light'. So how many burnt fingers are there now?
If God built the universe, then why do churchs have such a tizzy when asked to pay taxes?
If prayer can solve all our problems, then why is it taking so long?
John 6:67 - "Hope that knowledge shall set them free from dogma and hypocrisy"
John 6:66 - "Those who are indoctrinated will call you ignorant for being informed"
Razor Thrashdance 3:19: We spit on those who choose to pose, we thrash with all the rest!
*head bang*
My favorite quote ever is from Oscar Wilde:
"Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about."
Wow, I'd never heard that Stephen Fry quote before.
His awesome manages to somehow expand even further.
Tom 20:20, Don't pray for me my good child, pray for yourselves, your days are numbered.
Tom 52:1, And I shall wreak my wrath upon you the next time you state you will say a prayer for me.
Tom loses count, And the great spaghetti monster shall lift ye from ignorance with his noodly appendage.
Beyonder 3:16 - For I came into the world not to be evil, but to treat each person as I would like to be treated.

Bear Whitetail II
I'm new here and new to bow hunting. My husband purchased me a Bear Whitetail II from a family friend because he heard it was a good beginners bow. After searching on the internet and scratching my head for hours, I finally found out how to change the settings to where I could actually pull it back.
Now I am hitting a wall again. When I draw the bow back, my hand is almost to my shoulder.
I am at a loss. It has the disks where it says A B C D E It is currently set on E.
Could someone help me please. Is this something I can do at home or will I have to get a professional to fix it for me.
Aperintly its was to much of a draw lenght for you. I bought ont of those bows for a nephew and went through the same prob. Its actually a very easy fix. First you need fo figure out your draw lenght. next you need to get the right modules ( the half moon looking things on each cam that have a hex screw holding them on) I went on ebay and found the ones I needed to get the right draw lenght. most people on there that are selling them will say which one are for what draw lenght. If not just ask them. Once you get all of that done and you get the ones you need, they simply just screw off and screw on. Hope this helps.

Your World sub host acknowledged FOX's economic spin
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Filling in for host Neil Cavuto on the August 10 edition of Your World w/ Neil Cavuto, Brenda Buttner (who also hosts FOX News Channel's weekend business show Bulls & Bears), attempted to bolster syndicated columnist and American Enterprise Institute fellow James K. Glassman's attacks on Democrats who "don't want to see the economy do well" and confirmed FOX News Channel's efforts to reinforce the view that "the economy is doing well." When Glassman asserted that "the economy is doing well, and Americans believe it," Buttner offered, "Well, it's a story we've been telling here as well."
From the August 10 edition of FOX News Channel's Your World w/Neil Cavuto:
GLASSMAN: Yeah, it is, but I think, number one, they ought to tell the truth, and number two, I think psychology is important in the economy, and all this bad-mouthing of the economy could actually have a real effect and hurt real families. ... The economy is doing well, but the Democrats don't want to see that happen, so they're badmouthing it.
BUTTNER: So, that's their only ammunition, though, and again this is a political year.
GLASSMAN: [A]ll they're [Democrats] doing is negativism, pessimism, and that could have an effect on the real economy. ... I believe -- and, look, this is just a guess -- I think the market is somewhat worried about the enhanced possibility over the last few months about a [Senator John] Kerry presidency. ... But look, the economy by any standard is doing well, when we look at the aggregate figures over a decent amount of time. Certainly, one or two indicators, you know, one month to the next, are going to be lagging, but in general the economy is doing well, and Americans believe it. That's much more important.
BUTTNER: Well, it's a story we've been telling here as well.
Glassman, who also hosts the website TechCentralStation.com (described in a Washington Monthly article as a "journo-lobbying" operation published by public affairs firm DCI Group), has regularly criticized Democrats in his columns. In a August 2 column titled "The Trends Are All Towards Republicans," for example, Glassman described Kerry as "shifty and sweaty, jowly and sallow, bobbing and weaving." In another, titled "The Real Benedict Arnolds," as Media Matters for America has noted, Glassman falsely linked Kerry to the H.J. Heinz Co. and distorted that company's business practices in an attempt to claim that it was hypocritical of Kerry to criticize outsourcing of American jobs overseas.

By Joe Brewin
Laurent Koscielny cannot wait to take part in his first major international tournament - but his joy is tempered by Bacary Sagna's absence.
The Arsenal right back was ruled out of France's Euro 2012 campaign after breaking his leg in the 3-3 draw with Norwich City in May.
Koscielny knows the injury is a huge blow for his club-mate but insists his compatriot will return from his setback even stronger.
"Bac is a very nice guy off the pitch and he has been very professional because it is the second time he has been injured like this," Koscielny told Arsenal Player. "I think it is really hard for him because he trained hard to come back and help the team.
"So for him not to be in the French squad is disappointing. But I know Bac, he will come back stronger and next season he will be very important for us."
France managed to avoid the likes of Spain, Germany and Holland when they were drawn in Group D. All the same, Koscielny insists Laurent Blanc's side still have their work cut out with England, Ukraine and Sweden standing in their way.
"We have a difficult group even though everybody else said it would be easy," said the defender. "We have England and we know their players.
"After that you have Ukraine who play at home. We played them last year in Shakhtar and the atmosphere was amazing. Sweden have a lot of good players like Ibrahimovic. It will be a hard group and difficult to be in the top two places but we want to qualify for the quarter-finals."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Unfortunately I've been busted twice prior, I got off on a third case cause the pigs didn't have shit on me. They never caught me in the act. Anyway, so far no jail time as of yet just a lot of community service and probation.
Lucky me.
Yep. Now a days they are trying to treat graffiti as a felony here in chicago. So ONE i recommend you talk to some legal advisor
Me and my bro got busted in a sting operation trying to sell A Saul Gud poster to a undercover cop. Next day a different city's gang unit staked out our apt. and arrested us, took a warrant and raided our pad. We each got 30 misdemeanors for trespassing and defacing property, 60 combined. Luckily it was our first serious offenses so we got stuck with a grip of community service, and a year long deferred sentence on the charges. only month and a half left till were free!! Here's the article if you want to read up: http://www.westword.com/2011-10-06/c...or-street-art/
^ If you read the linked article you should know but if not, keep in mind when one city or county catches you, they will give all your info to neighboring cities or counties. If you get caught, knowing you were getting up in a neighboring city/county and they let you go, stash all related work at a friends pad or always have a different address (Studio) for illegal work in case you get a surprise visit from the PD.
Never got busted for art but I did once get nabbed coming home from a party once. I was young and dumb, had my bong, weed, and illegal (underage) booze on me and thought I could outrun them....
make no mistake people feet vs patrol car, car always wins
In my neighborhood, they usually always stop me when I'm walking. always pack a one hitter if you gonna carry some bud, and always carry a very small amount of bud.
yea dude! the 5-0 trips on some weird shyt over here, wen i read that in my court notice i flipped out bc i didnt believe it either
If being busted means going to court and doing time, no.
i got arrested once tagging a bus stop. i had a quarter oz of weed on me too, so they ended up just charging me for that and dropping the mischief. worked out pretty well too cause i was underage and it was my first charge so it ended up just getting stayed. i got in more shit stealing $30 worth of shit from walmart than i did for the possession haha. fucking love canadia.
I sever heads, just to sharpen my skills
Got caught twice but never busted for tagging. Once by sheriff, once by gang task force. First time I was walking with 2 homies to a store. We're were at at a crosswalk and I ran up to hit up on this pole. There was a sheriff right there. My friend told me there was a cop but always fucks around like that and he said it very calmly like he was joking around so I didn't believe him. He took all of our markers which were brand new and found a pipe on my friend but all he did was smash it (I live in the great state of Cali where the weed laws are chill). They wrote up a report but said it was gonna be filed later because the local PD was too busy that night. I found out the 2nd time I got arrested that they didn't even file the report.
2nd time I got busted went down like this. A homie and I were out tagging when we saw a Gang Task Force Car. He had 2 brass knuckles on him (felony for each 1 in Cal) so we booked it. We keep running for a while until we came to a dead end and had to hop a fence. He hopped it first so while he was hopping it I stashed my markers in my sock. Then as soon as he hopped it the Gang task force guy came out of now where with a big ass assault rifle with a flashlight at the end. He pointed it right at us and was screaming "KEEP YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP OR I'MA SHOOT YOU!" He put us both in cuffs and searched us. 4 Gang Task Force Agents showed up while we were getting searched for back up cause he thought I had a gun. The reason was I was holding my shorts up while I was running cause I forgot my belt xD that's why he thought I had a gun. All he found was a lighter on me which a got a ticket for cause he was bitch. He even gave me a field test to see if I was high cause the same homie had a pipe on him again. They told me my homie was gonna go to jail that night for the brass knucks but luckily since it was his 2nd offense they only gave him 6 months probation. Turns out the only reason he even chased us was because he saw us running. So got arrested twice, first time the officer even saw me tag but only got a $20 ticket for a lighter so I'm pretty lucky.

When LG revealed at this year's Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show that it was turning to passive technology for its 3D LCD TVs, we immediately felt it was a big deal.
The active 3D manufacturers tried to play LG's move down, but in recent weeks we've also had Philips announce a range of passive 3D TVs. And it's become apparent that LG, at least, isn't just positioning passive 3D tech as a 'cheap and cheerful' alternative to active 3D. Rather it appears the company isout to suggest that passive is the better of the two systems.
This 'charm offensive' began at CES, and included claims of research suggesting that more than 80 per cent of people preferred watching passive 3D over active 3D. There was also talk of how the passive 3D TV approach is more in line with the experience of watching 3D at the cinema, and how passive 3D tech is more 'in tune' with side by side 3D broadcasts of the sort used by Sky.
Inevitably, much was made, too, of the fact that passive 3D TVs only need cheap, universally compatible glasses. And there were even guarded suggestions that active 3D is potentially bad for you.
Some of these arguments seem rather forced to us, but far from backing off post CES, the launch of new passive TVs in Korea has led to even more aggressive pro-passive claims.
There's been a poster campaign, for instance, which suggests you can watch passive 3D TVs while lying down - something you can't do with active 3D. Second and more startlingly, LG's Korean operation has suggested that its passive sets deliver a full HD 3D experience - something that the active 3D players have always clung to as being their biggest advantage over passive 3D tech.
With the 3D 'war' about to explode on the UK scene as well, we thought it only right to try and get as early a sense as possible of just where the truth lies in all the 3D claims and counter claims. So when the opportunity came up to get our hands on a mid-range 55in edge LED passive 3D TV we jumped at the chance, wasting no time in placing it right alongside Samsung's new active 3D 55D8000.
Would this early passive set deliver on the claims being made for passive technology and turn the 3D market on its head, or would active 3D take the performance - and moral - high ground?


text: Interesting article from Alexa Ainsworth in Universal Sports:- http://www.universalsports.com/news-blogs/blogs/blog=gofigure/postid=548283.html According to Ainsworth, the problem with the forthcoming season in the ladies is that "the newbies with the triple-triple combinations lack the maturity of the veterans - who lack the triple-triple. We are having a difficult time thinking of a skater who has the poise and presence of a senior lady and can throw down an effortless triple Lutz-triple toe." However, I don't think that this is necessarily the case. This view is based on last year's junior performances and Sotnikova's and Tuktamysheva's performances certainly did not lack 'poise'. Moreover, both Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva will be a year older and that extra year will bring additional poise and maturity to their skating. I think therefore that the suggestion that there programs during the coming season will lack poise and maturity is a bit premature.

An enormous collaborative effort between a multitude of academic and research centers has characterized numerous physical and mechanical properties on one identical human cancer cell line. Their two-year cooperative study, published online in the April 26, 2013 journal Science Reports, reveals the persistent and agile nature of human cancer cells as compared to noncancerous cells. It also represents a major shift in the way scientific research can be accomplished.
The research, which was conducted by 12 federally funded Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OC) sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, is a systematic comparison of metastatic human breast-cancer cells to non-metastatic breast cells that reveals dramatic differences between the two cell lines in their mechanics, migration, oxygen response, protein production and ability to stick to surfaces. They have also discovered new insights into how human cells make the transition from nonmalignant to metastatic, a process that is not well understood.
Denis Wirtz, a Johns Hopkins professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering with joint appointments in pathology and oncology who is the corresponding author on the study, remarked that the work adds a tremendous amount of information about the physical nature of cancer cells. "For the first time ever, scientists got together and have created THE phenotypic signature of cancer" Wirtz said. "Yes, it was just one metastatic cell line, and it will require validation with many other cell lines. But we now have an extremely rich signature containing many parameters that are distinct when looking at metastatic and nonmetastatic cells."
Wirtz, who directs the Johns Hopkins Physical Sciences-Oncology Center, also noted the unique way in which this work was conducted: all centers used the same human cell line for their studies, which makes the quality of the results unparalleled. And, since human and not animal cells were used, the findings are immediately relevant to the development of drugs for the treatment of human disease.
"Cancer cells may nominally be derived from the same patient, but in actuality they will be quite different because cells drift genetically over just a few passages," Wirtz said. "This makes any measurement on them from different labs like comparing apples and oranges." In this study, however, the genetic integrity of the cell lines were safeguarded by limiting the number times the original cell cultures could be regrown before they were discarded.
The nationwide PS-OC brings together researchers from physics, engineering, computer science, cancer biology and chemistry to solve problems in cancer, said Nastaran Zahir Kuhn, PS-OC program manager at the National Cancer Institute.
"The PS-OC program aims to bring physical sciences tools and perspectives into cancer research," Kuhn said. "The results of this study demonstrate the utility of such an approach, particularly when studies are conducted in a standardized manner from the beginning."
For the nationwide project, nearly 100 investigators from 20 institutions and laboratories conducted their experiments using the same two cell lines, reagents and protocols to assure that results could be compared. The experimental methods ranged from physical measurements of how the cells push on surrounding cells to measurements of gene and protein expression.
"Roughly 20 techniques were used to study the cell lines, enabling identification of a number of unique relationships between observations," Kuhn said.
Wirtz added that it would have been logistically impossible for a single institution to employ all of these different techniques and to measure all of these different parameters on just one identical cell line. That means that this work accomplished in just two years what might have otherwise taken ten, he said.
The Johns Hopkins PS-OC made specific contributions to this work. Using particle-tracking microrheology, in which nanospheres are embedded in the cell's cytoplasm and random cell movement is visually monitored, they measured the mechanical properties of cancerous versus noncancerous cells. They found that highly metastatic breast cancer cells were mechanically softer and more compliant than cells of less metastatic potential.
Using 3D cell culturing techniques, they analyzed the spontaneous migratory potential (that is, migration without the stimulus of any chemical signal) of cancerous versus noncancerous cells. They also analyzed the extracellular matrix molecules that were deposited by the two cell lines and found that cancerous cells deposited more hyaluronic acid (HA). The HA, in turn, affects motility, polarization and differentiation of cells. Finally, the Hopkins team measured the level of expression of CD44, a cell surface receptor that recognizes HA, and found that metastatic cells express more CD44.
The next steps, Wirtz said, would be to validate these results using other metastatic cell lines. To read the paper, which is published in an open access journal, follow this link: http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/130422/srep01449/full/srep01449.html

About two hundred years ago, Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire and there were thousands of Muslims who lived in Athens. Fast forward two hundred years and it is 2009 and there are 120,000 Muslims in Athens, but not a single mosque in which people pray is legal under Greek laws. A Greek couple who rented their basement to some Muslims are being fined because the tenants converted the area into a mosque in which people can pray. Several thousand Pakistanis are fighting the closing of the mosque because it is the only one available for them to pray. Lawyers argue that one must secure permission to use an area as a mosque for prayer, but city authorities will not grant any such permission.
Neighbors complained about the mosque which they disliked because it led to the gathering of large crowds of people anxious to get into the small area. For years, many bodies and the European Union have complained about the absence of a legal mosque for Muslims, but for some strange reason city authorities just can't get around to granting legal permission to pray.

TutorialsDataObjects as Pages - Part 2: Using Model Admin and URL Segments to create a product catalogue
14 November 2010 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
We now know the basics of using DataObjects as Pages from Part 1 of this tutorial. In part 2, we are now going to look at taking this further and creating a basic product catalogue with products that are DataObjects managed via the ModelAdmin interface. This tutorial will also serve as an introduction to ModelAdmin it self, which is an extremely powerful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) manager for any type of DataObject, whether used as pages or not.Continue reading...
TutorialsCreating and deleting dataobjects from the front end
29 June 2012 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
One of my clients wanted a clear interface from which he could easily attach downloadable files to some pages of his site. Instead of using modelAdmin and granting him an access to Silverstripe admin panel, I chose to create a front-end page showing a simple upload form, a list of the files previously uploaded to the server, and a delete button for each of them.Continue reading...
TutorialsDataObject as Pages: The Module
24 January 2012 | |Tweet
It's been a while since we published the DataObject as Pages series of tutorials, which have proved to be particularly popular. At Aab Web we use those techniques regularly as a way to allow our clients to mange large amounts of flat content or content that is distributed in multiple places throughout a site. Although the final implementations in each project are often varied and bespoke, they all start with the basics outlined in those tutorials, so it made sense for us to build a starting point to work from (and include some more complex features at the same time). That starting point is this module, catchily entitled: DataObject as Pages.Continue reading...
TutorialsDataObjects as Pages - Part 1: Keeping it Simple
4 October 2010 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
In this two part tutorial, I am going to show you how to display DataObjects as if they were pages. This is often very useful for times when you have lots of items that don't warrant full site tree objects, but do need to be displayed on their own on the site. In this first part displaying Staff Members we are going to keep it simple, using a Data Object Manager to manage our Staff Members and referring to their ID in the URL. Later in part 2, we will see how to use ModelAdmin to manage a Search Engine friendly product catalogue.Continue reading...

TutorialsRegistering Users and allowing them to edit their details
20 December 2010 | |Tweet
These days many sites require users to register to get full functionality (SSbits included!). This is something that although not avaiable out of the box in SilverStripe is quite strait forward and a great way to gain a better understanding of both the Member and Form systems. In this tutorial we are going to create a simple registration form and a page for users to then edit their details.Continue reading...
TutorialsUsing Short Codes to embed a YouTube video
28 April 2010 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
SilverStripe 2.4 has introduced shortcodes to the CMS editor. Simply, the CMS user can now add short BBCode style code to the editor area and it can then be replaced using a predefined function. For example [link id=23] could be replaced by the link to Page with an ID of 23. In fact that is exactly how internal links created in the links sidebar work in 2.4, preventing them from breaking when URLs change.Continue reading...

In this tutorial we are going to create a system that allows the Admin to decide which (front-end) page a group of users are redirected to after login. This will be defined via a TreeDropdown for each group in the security section, and can also be set to send them to the admin area via a checkbox.Continue reading...
TutorialsControllers Instead of Pages
25 January 2011 | | | Supports v2.4, v2.3Tweet
SilverStripe is great for working with Pages in the CMS. But what if you need functionality without the need for content or all the "data fluff," like in Aram's tutorial about user registration and profile editing. Well, believe it or not, SilverStripe is a pretty solid MVC platform, even if you're working outside of the page data objects. It took me a while to understand how to implement true-ish MVC in SilverStripe, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to share.Continue reading...

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Darth Tater, Apr 28, 2014.
She has 6 aliases over the last 10 years along with 4 arrests... Maybe you know her as Maria Perez. Or possibly Vanessa Perez. Maybe Monica Gallegos. Let's try Maria Valdez. Let's try convicted of petty theft...twice...two separate incidents...possession of a controlled substance...arrested for driving under the influence. Not a criminal...........let's go with that one.
Drath's computer was hacked?
I don't understand your post. How does it discount anything I said?
The rest didn't need addressing. Everybody knew Sterling's record. He's had trouble with the courts for years. There have also been many posts before this thread describing Sterling negatively. I guess you never looked up his record before Miss Alias came along. Saying the marriage is a sham is also true and everybody knows it. But she STILL played with a married man. Saying she didn't lead him on those recordings is just funny... Pointing out facts as to why she's a Bimbo makes her more than a speck.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the married part. That was just a legal technicality. They weren't married in any sense other than legally. The woman accepted millions to be a companion to an ancient billionaire. If that offends your morality, that's your problem. You can call her names and degrade her. The bigger issue is the bigoted billionaire who said racist things about JJ Redick and Magic Johnson.
Wow, kind of amazing the things you can say about someone you've never met and have no real information about. I guess that's the real legacy of the internet.
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's troubled reign approaches an inglorious end - ESPN So according to this, Stiviano didn't illegally record him, didn't "trap" him, and didn't leak the tapes to the media. Is she still a bimbo, still scum? This just makes it even more absurd to see people go after this girl as if she was even remotely significant in this story.
Interesting. Part of her job description was image coach! Man did that not work out as planned. The ironic thing here is that he was so concerned about his image, that he totally ruined his image. The 2 things that caused this scandal were both image preservation actions on his part-- 1) didn't want his image consultant sitting with black people because it would damage his image in his opinion, and 2) wanted his image consultant to record his conversations so that he wouldn't forget things and could preserve his image.
Who exactly is " going after her"? People express opinions. That happens when someone thrusts themselves in the public spotlight. Aren't you expressing your own opinions, FACT: she is 20 years old and considered extremely physically attractive by many... Not me, and maintaining a very close relationship in public with a RICH 80 year old racist bastard. His twisted actions and views were no secret. What facts can you present to give any indication that she deserves the benefit of any doubt? Do you believe she was physically attracted to him? Ignorant to his views? Enjoyed his company? Can you say with a straight face that she would've maintained that relationship or even given him the time of day) if he wasn't filthy rich and showering her with gifts that most of us just dream about? Whether people label her "scum" or a "bimbo" or a sweet innocent little victim of circumstance, whistle blower, hero, whatever. It's all semantics anyhow. The FACTS are she was hanging around a slimey twisted racist old man and was showered in gifts by him. Who really knows whether of not they were intimate? Why do you think she was doing that? Do you think she really gives a damn about human rights? You're so sure what she is NOT. Tell us what you think she IS. Apparently you aren't above labeling. You feel very comfortable labeling Sterling a racist based on his WORDS yet you feel there is injustice when people label Stivano based on her ACTIONS??? Please take that holier than thou B.S. out of here. I don't care what people label her or what they think of her. But if people insist on calling the opinions of others "absurd" and ridiculing their views, I would LMAO and tell them to look in the mirror.
I think the point is Donald Sterling is a powerful billionaire who owns an NBA team and has the power to change people's lives for the worse. The woman in question has no such power and doesn't control other people's lives. Why be angry with her? She is living her own life the way she wants to. If you don't like it....who cares? So the outrage about Sterling is because he is in a position of power and has shown bias against African Americans and JJ Redick. The woman is entirely insignificant when looked at in this context.
I'd argue we know about as much about sterling as we do stiviano. I think people are angry with stiviano because her actions seem so premeditated and from a place of greed. Detroit has always been a "going to work city" and any perceived "short cuts" are frowned upon. Now this is merely perception as the motivations and machinations of the tape are unknown. Also there is a level of backstabbe. Either against sterling or stiviano.
Absolutely! Sterling is the big fish who is the significant one. The girl is indeed a bug in the whole scheme of the things. Sterling stands for everything I loathe and I would take great pleasure in every terrible thing that happens to him in this life or anything after. I know, I'm a bad person. But I'm honest. Doesn't mean I need to like the B. though. I don't care what happens to her. But I have no respect for her and don't wish any good on her. She snared him and was well paid.
Plus she was wearing that weird visor thing for a while.
Here's an in depth, nuanced take on V. Stiviano's situation by the fantastic Molly Lambert. Most definitely worth a read: The Visor and the Beret « This computer is property of the Denver Squirrels and is not to be removed from facilities.
Interesting article:
I ordered three of those visors. Ive always considered myself "fashion forward," and I'm pretty sure this will be the hot new summer look. This computer is property of the Denver Squirrels and is not to be removed from facilities.
Great. Next time we plan a trip to Seattle you'll be really easy to spot.
Everyone will be wearing them by the end of the summer. This computer is property of the Denver Squirrels and is not to be removed from facilities.
May none of the men on this board have to go through the issue of an unfaithful spouse who is manipulated by a bimbo. No matter the status of the marriage...it still hurts. It's not my problem basketbills...its America's problem. I do not degrade her...she is already there.

Hello Lucy
I'm new here. But I really enjoy this site and this Forum in particular.
I wonder if you could help me with my preparation for the next lesson. Some sort of an inspection/comission coming to watch my lesson so I really wanted to do something special.
If you know any interesting activities and/or games on WAS/WERE topic. I've already presented this topic to my students at my previous lesson. So, this time we'll be doing activities to check their understanding of this topic and to give them an opportunity to try it in their speach.
I searched for interesting activities on the net but could only find "fill in the gaps" exercises which is not what I want to do this time.

I should have blogged about former Congresswoman & presidential candidate and current public servant Cynthia McKinney's kidnapping when I first heard about this at Siditty, but I figured others would pick up the ball. Since Renee is the only other source I've seen talking about it in the (mostly feminist) blogs I read, I want to link to/recommend her Womanist Musings analysis:
Read it here.
Had it not been for twitter, I doubt that I would even have been aware that Cynthia McKinney was held hostage in Israel after attempting to deliver aid and supplies to the Palestinians. There has been a resounding silence on this issue as CNN, MSNBC and other mainstream media sources rush to give us the latest news on the death of Michael Jackson.
Jackson was truly an iconic figure, however the man is dead and Cynthia is alive. His memorial is receiving massive coverage and the announcement that his body would be present was considered breaking news. Even Palin's resignation has garnered more media and internet attention. Though McKinney is safely back on US soil, her wellbeing during her ordeal was of little concern.
As celebrities and media personnel rush to speak about the ways in which Michael Jackson transcended race, the erasure of the plight of McKinney proves that race and gender continue to divide the country.

Deborah Lippmann Spring/Summer Swatches
Girls Just Want To Have Fun - A smooth, vintage coral that everyone can wear because it's bold yet velvety – a sort of carefree, creamy coral.
I Know What Boys Like - A creamy periwinkle that credits to both the 80's and my clients. Several of my clients have asked for interesting blues. This one is a blend of blue and purple with a creamy finish, which gives it a slightly retro look that is so playful and hip.
Yellow Brick Road - a sheer mellow yellow with a jelly finish. The proof that it wears beautifully on all skin tones: it complements me and Lady GaGa, who wore it first for her "Born This Way" performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards.
Lara's Theme - was created with supermodel Lara Stone is Deborah Lippmann's newest celebrity collaboration. It's a dare to wear shade of hot-hot orange.
Price: $16
Where to find: Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and http://www.deborahlippmann.com/
Here's a look at Girls Just Want To Have Fun, a bright creamy coral shade. This bright melon cream shade has just a hint of pink, making it a perfect coral shade. The first two photos were taken indoors with an Ott lamp, and the third picture was taken outdoors, just as the rain started.
I Know What Boys Like is a unique periwinkle blue cream. This has a very high gloss finish, and while not as bright as a royal blue--which is actually why I love it, there is a slight dusty element to this shade. Again, the first two photos were taken indoors with an Ott lamp, and the last photo was taken outdoors under heavy cloud cover.
I love both of these shades, and they are the typical Lippmann formula: extreme perfection, 2-coat coverage, and a beyond exceptional ease of application. If you asked me what my favorite polish brand was overall, I'd probably go with Lippmann. From the heavy architectural bottles, to the consistent without being predictable shades and finishes that she continues to release, to the quality formula, it's all there. There was only one time that I was disappointed by a polish from this line, and you can probably guess that it was Funky Chunky. I thought the concept was very interesting, but I just couldn't get that one to perform for me the way I wanted it to.
No disappointment with today's shades though! They're fabulous for the season. Do you have any favorites from the Spring/Summer Shades?

Provo • The BYU basketball team has not won a conference tournament since winning the Mountain West Conference championship in 2001, that league's second year of existence.
But in many of those postseason tournaments since then, the Cougars didn't always have a sense of urgency because they pretty much knew they were going to get an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament, win or lose.
Not so this time around.
The Cougars (21-10) head to Las Vegas for a West Coast Conference quarterfinal game on Friday (9:30 p.m. MT, ESPNU) knowing that they have to win it all to go dancing for the seventh straight year.
"That urgent feeling [is there]," coach Dave Rose said Wednesday. The team "realizes there won't be another chance. ... Hopefully that sense of urgency will kind of permeate through the guys, throughout the roster, to the coaching staff, and that we play our best games while we are down there."
Davies' foul trouble
Senior forward Brandon Davies has been plagued by foul trouble throughout his career, but the tendency to pick up a couple of quick ones and spend most of the first half on the bench has been pronounced the past few games.
Davies knows it is a problem, which he attributes to being too amped up to play in games.
"Sometimes I go in there too aggressively, and instead of letting the game come to me, I force the issue," he said.
Haws says illness won't keep him down
The Cougars were fortunate they didn't have a quick turnaround after Saturday's 70-67 win over Loyola Marymount because sophomore guard Tyler Haws, the WCC's leading scorer, has been ill the past couple of days.
"I came down with something over the weekend, but I am getting better each day," Haws said. "I will be ready for the weekend. ... I will be 100 percent by Friday."
With the Cougars meeting the media before practice Wednesday, Haws said the plan was to "do some stuff today" and go hard Thursday in Las Vegas for the first time all week.
BYU a bid thief?
Jeff Eisenberg of Yahoo! sports is calling BYU one of "five potential bid thieves" that could sneak in, win a conference tournament and take a probable NCAA Tournament bid from someone else.
"This isn't one of BYU's better teams, but the Cougars do have two of the league's better players in Tyler Haws and Brandon Davies and a streaky guard in Matt Carlino, who makes the team dangerous when he plays well," Eisenberg wrote. "BYU had Saint Mary's beat in Provo and pushed Gonzaga into the final minutes there as well."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I live in Vancouver BC and I'm new-ish to the zine game. I am here because my hermit impulse is to photocopy a dozen of whatever I got going and then retreat back to the darkness, fondling my toner-smelly pages and giggling with satisfaction while eating a victory dinner of peanut butter toast and getting crumbs all over everything.
But it occurs to me that zines are best shared, not used as coasters, toast-holders, or spider-whackers.
So it would be good to…Continue

Toby Eccles:
Invest in social change
Here's a stat worth knowing: In the UK, 63% of men who finish short-term prison sentences are back inside within a year for another crime. Helping them stay outside involves job training, classes, therapy. And it would pay off handsomely — but the government can't find the funds. Toby Eccles shares an imaginative idea for how to change that: the Social Impact Bond. It's an unusual bond that helps fund initiatives with a social goal through private money — with the government paying back the investors (with interest) if the initiatives work.

That does look pretty nice! Is it sgfang?
i wish... just a rubies though
Damn good start, look forward to seeing the finished bucket. Are you intending to weather it? Isn't it funny how we spend ages painting something to the best of our abilities then we make it look like it's scratched to hell!
i guess i'll probably weather it enough to 1) at character 2) hide imperfections
I like the color scheme.
Maybe just some grime and stuff, like on a Jango.
It's great to see a custom Mando bucket without the "DENT"! Some weathering and battle damage would look great!
I'll try to get some griming done tomorrow.
there is some battle damage (forehead "gash" from dremel chaos ),
that'll probably be it though cause my Mando's back story places him as a general during the clone wars (EU, Infinities, etc. don't wanna mess up continuity ), so even though he saw action, he was commanding more than doing actual combat... He's a Mando turned Jedi, turned Sith/Imperial, turned freelancer (ala Thrawn) it's complicated i know... but it produces an awesome looking Mando.
I'll post my concept tomorrow too.
Pardon the run on , and thanks for all the positive feedback
here's the helmet with some damage and weathering....sucky camera but i'll be gettin a new one next month

wow! looks great!
color scheme works very well.
Looks good.
thanks all
Dude nice bucket!
Here's some pics with the new camera that came today

Jared Diamond:
How societies can grow old better
There's an irony behind the latest efforts to extend human life: It's no picnic to be an old person in a youth-oriented society. Older people can become isolated, lacking meaningful work and low on funds. In this intriguing talk, Jared Diamond looks at how many different societies treat their elders — some better, some worse — and suggests we all take advantage of experience.

I bought this for our trip to Hawaii and I feel it works well for the beach. I would purchase it again. It's inexpensive, light weight, and fabric is durable.

Not happy with the material or the middle section (which is mostly covered by the model in the picture). I returned for a refund and am being charged a 20% restocking fee even though it was returned in perfect condition with original packaging. REALLY UNHAPPY about that!

Just as expected, breathes, fits, comfy, and pretty. It plunges a bit much in the front but I just sewed it a bit. Maybe being chesty makes me more modest though. Really good deal. I feel like I'm in jammies and look all dressed up. Very nice!

Re: USA Visa
You might consider wintering over in Prince Rupert, BC. Don't know what the visa issues for you might be in Canada, but PR is no more than a week's cruise south of Juneau, so getting back to SE Alaska is not big deal.
The only thing I found difficult about entering Canada was that they were very strict on the quantity of adult beverages permitted. When I entered from Alaska I had just stocked up on wine and beer in Ketchitkan. I also had 8-10 bottles of rum in the bilge left over from the Caribbean. I was issued a "warning" and told to NEVER enter Canada again with so much booze on board. The discussion with customs on the booze issue took 20 minutes or so, whereas the discussion on the customs entry of the rifle (bear gun) I was carrying took 2 minutes. Go figure. In the post-9/11 environment I was pleased to see Canada had their priorities right.
Have a nice (long) voyage.
Re: USA Visa
Correct, B1 visa is not to be used to be gainfully employed in the US, only to conduct business while visiting the US. I'm not an immigration guy, but have hired foreign nationals.

I'm not sure if that's even the B1 part of the B1/B2 visa.
The B1 bit is for doing business meetings, buying and selling etc in the USA but I think for employment, either normally, or critical trades, its something else again.
We need an immigration official who sails! But I don't think they want all their rules and guidelines published because I think they want to have a discretionary ability to filter out people who look like dills.
I comb my hair and wear non cruiser clothes!
Re: USA Visa
Sounds like they could only stay longer on one of those "critical business" work visas. You know, like kangaroo kontrol in Juneau. I heard the infestation is absolutely horrible, and none of the locals have any idea of how to katch them.
If you think it can't happen...when I was in grade school local shop, jokingly, wrote "alligators in basement" on their electric bill. For YEARS after that, the meter readers would not go into the basement unaccompanied to read the meter. Because it said right there "alligators in basement" and they knew that was an urban myth but IT SAID SO RIGHT THERE.
IIRC Americans are limited to two years in Oz even if they are there for critical employment so as you say, limits are not unusual. Still, sometimes it pays to contact the folks who are petty diplomats, and sometimes these things can be changed from "usual" to "a bit better". Now that overseas phone calls cost two cents a minute instead of five dollars...it doesn't hurt so much to ask.
But first I'd call around in Juneau to get the buzz about the 'roo infestation going.

If I had heard of it then all the Australians would have 12 months in the USA in their cruising year, wouldn't they?
The USA is not unusual in doing this. In fact the USA is more liberal than most other countries.... EU 3 months in 6 months, same with Turkey, Thailand has changed to a similar thing where visa trips over the boarder no longer suffice. Indonesia is the same with a penalty of boat forfeiture!
So getting 6 months in a block is good! Getting 12 months is not being offered anywhere that I can readily think of. Nine months is great!
So with the USA if you do 6 months in on a B2 (of the B1/B2 visa) visa then you will need to go out for a reasonable amount of time, more than 10 days (I think it says 14 days) before you go back in.... But when you get back in I doubt you'll get a full 6 months... Perhaps more like three months to take your time in the USA to 9 months in 20 months.
The only way I can think of to try to squeeze the Americans would be to stay as long as you can, do a international trip, and then go for a visa extension when back in the USA pleading to wait for the end of Hurricane season (etc). That's fine if you get it, but if you don't get it you must leave immediately.
BTW the visa extension takes 6 weeks and during that time you can stay if your entry time has expired. So one shouldn't apply for it too early! But the what happens if you are declined?
As a final point, one should never piss off the Damn Yankees because the USA is so good for flying into and out of when cruising, particularly for Australians, particularly when cruising the Caribbean and Central and South America... So if one plays silly buggers with the USA Immigration laws and you get the big red DECLINED stamp in your passport not only can't you use the USA to fly through but many other countries won't like you either! Excepts, Venuzalea, Cuba, Iran and North Korea......

Re: USA Visa
If cruisers could get 12 months we would all have been there for 12 months.
Re: USA Visa
From what I found online, apparently three to six months is the default period, which is supposed to be set to match the purpose of your trip, i.e. to give you enough time to conclude your business or tour. And knowing our bureaucrats, they wouldn't let a dangerous Australian have anything besides "the usual" simply to protect themselves from being told "that's not what we do". The phrase here is "CYA" and no, that's not a nautical club.
Country Reciprocity Schedule
But our State Department indicates they have a one-year reciprocity with Australia on visa entries, which would appear to mean that you CAN be allowed one year on the first entry, if you can explain why you need one year, why you're not a threat, and the man stamping the passport knows how to count that high.
I'd suggest corresponding with our State Department, explaining that this is a recreational vessel and your travel simply is s l o w and to a remote area, and confirm that twelve months is both appropriate "from what I have read on your web site" (i.e. prompt them along) and suitable. If you can get that acknowledged, bring the letter or printouts in with you, and let the ICE guy see it and read it before they stamp you in. Assuming that you actually get acknowledgement that 12 months is acceptable.
That doesn't guarantee they will, but usually if these folks see something in writing "from upstairs" they will go along with it. Once anything has actually been STAMPED and put in writing--these guys are extremely reluctant to override or change it. If they indicate they don't do 12 months, ask politely to see a supervisor, again show him the papers. And of course, let the supervisor know Juneau is landlocked. Most Americans have no idea how things are in Alaska and the very idea of a state capital being that isolated is unthinkable.
Then when you get to Juneau, you can let them explain why the bronze outside is of three pelicans in a state where those don't fly, either.
Re: USA Visa
hellosailor visa type is b1/b2 and its a multi entry visa the form is a DS160 and when it is issued it will be good for 5 or 10 years. When we arrive in the US the customs officer will
issue a stamp for an allocated time ie 6 or 12 months but I believe they have only being giving 6 months at a time but I don't know this for sure.
Regards Paul
Re: USA Visa
That lost something in translation. Your visa is a 10-year multi-entry type but is only good for six months?
What type of visa is it? "Type" in the formal sense, i.e. type B-2 ?
They can get quite complicated, depending on whether a visa is required, what the purpose of your visit is...and without referencing a specific visa type, there's a good chance someone won't know what applies to the one that's been issued to you.

Is my company eligible to apply for a WEDnetPA grant?
It's easy to determine if your company qualifies for funding. First, determine if you meet the following general qualifications:
Employer Qualifications
Your business is based in Pennsylvania or you have a significant presence in the state
You are NOT a point-of-sale retail business, gaming establishment, training vendor, employment agency, government agency, government-owned facility, education or other nonprofit entity
Your employee turnover rate is 25% or less
Employee Qualifications
Employees are residents of Pennsylvania and employed in Pennsylvania
Employees must earn at least 150% of the current federal minimum wage, excluding benefits
Employees must be in permanent, full-time positions and eligible for full-time benefits
If your company and employees meet the general qualifications noted above, it's now time to determine whether you qualify to apply for Essential Skills funding or Advanced Technology funding, or both.
Essential Skills Training Qualifications
- Your company must be a manufacturer or technology business (including Biotech and Environmental-Tech)
- You may apply for funding for any number of eligible employees, for up to $450 per employee and up to $75,000 total per fiscal year (July 1 to June 30)
- Your employees must be frontline workers or first-level supervisors
- Note: Funding will not cover employee orientation, on-the-job training, or workplace adult literacy needs, i.e. ESL training.

- All employees can be reimbursed for Advanced Technology training regardless of job title, type of company, or company size, as long as there is a clear connection between the training and the employee's current job responsibilities.
- Note: Introductory courses are not eligible for Advanced Technology funding. MS Office and office-type applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, One Note, Access, and Publisher qualify for Essential Skills funding.
It looks like my company qualifies. How do I apply for funding?
If your company and employees meet all of the qualifications listed above, then applying for WEDnetPA funding is fast and easy.
If you're a new company who has never received funding before, your first step is to complete and submit the online Training Inquiry form. You can only apply for funding through a certified WEDnetPA Partner; you can choose your partner at the bottom of the Inquiry form. Your Partner will review your Inquiry before proceeding with the application process.
If your company has applied for and received funding in prior years, log in to ISAAC at https://isaac.wednetpa.com/. From your company dashboard, you can check your funding history and submit an inquiry for the current year.
If your Inquiry is approved for funding, you will be asked to read and sign a Memorandum of Agreement and submit a proposed Training Plan. Your WEDnetPA Partner can assist you with this process.
Once your application is approved and funded, your grant award and the invoicing and reimbursement process will be managed through an online portal called ISAAC (Information Sharing, Administration and Analysis Center).
