Doro is a company that turns negatives into positives, making missing features a feature. It makes phones for the elderly, infirm and severely technophobic. So you wouldn't imagine it would branch out into smartphones, would you? It has done just that with the Doro PhoneEasy 740, an Android-powered phone designed to be supremely easy to use.
Android is not an obvious pick if you want to make a smartphone simple to use. It's too tweak-able, too geek-oriented and just not as simple as something like iOS. And that's why Doro has made its very own version of Android to take everything down a notch.
The PhoneEasy 740 is a little unusual in its hardware too. It's a slider phone that matches a capacitive touchscreen with a full set of large soft keys and a T9 numerical keypad. Doro says that the idea is while it offers smartphone power and potential, it'll let you treat it just like an old fashioned mobile - it can be operated with buttons alone.
It does this with the help of the Doro Experience. It sounds dramatic, but it's actually just a custom UI that sits atop the core Android engine running underneath.
The Doro Experience radically rethinks how Android works, though. It ditches the idea of the home screen/apps menu layout in favour of a single, vertically scrolling menu. The Google Play app store is also gone - Doro says its buyers will only be turned off by the dizzying array of rubbish on its virtual shelves. In its place there's Doro Selections, which is nestled within the menu rather than being shown-off on the top level. Only a few select apps will be given access to the store, once they've been deemed of interest to the Doro demographic.
Few have been confirmed, and the best so far is one of Doro's own. It offers access to Facebook, but - like the phone UI - hides all the unnecessary formatting and social networking terminology, distilling everything down to basic terms like "messages" and "pictures". PMs and pokes begone. It'll do the same for Twitter, too.
This vanilla-ification may seem like overkill to many, but could prove a way for the truly tech-savvy to communicate with the stubbornly technophobic. A way to trick then into jumping across that divide - most likely a generational one.
Wafting away Doro's anti-tech bug spray for a moment, the PhoneEasy 740 features Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and 3G mobile internet connectivity. Having this good spread of connections will provide the phone with quick online communication, further helping to mask the technical skulduggery going on behind the scenes.
Several other specs rise above the Doro norm too. The 5-megapixel camera is well above what we expect from the manufacturer's usually-basic phones and - common in Doro devices - there are some thoughtful implementation of such extra bits too. On release, there will be a magnifier app that uses the camera sensor to blow up small text, turning the PhoneEasy 740 into a virtual pair of reading glasses. Its usefulness will depend on how good the camera autofocus is, and how close-up the sensor can focus, but it's a neat idea.
The screen is also a big step-up for Doro. It's 3.2in across and has 320 x 480 pixels. Display quality and screen resolution don't compare well with "proper" Android phones, but the touchscreen is reasonably responsive and the backlight nice 'n' bright.
However, the PhoneEasy 740 would come across as a bit of a gimmick if it didn't pack-in core Doro features too. There's still the unusually prominent "extra loud" speaker on the back, compatibility with hearing aids and the emergency button. This calls and texts a series of pre-selected numbers whenever pressed three times in a row.
Like every Doro phone, any praise we lavish on it comes with some pretty serious caveats. As the company admits, its phones really aren't for everyone. And if you're reading TrustedReviews looking for your next mobile, it's probably not for you either. However, if you want a phone with advanced capabilities that seems simple, we're yet to see anything quite like the Doro PhoneEasy 740. We'll be back with more impressions when the phone's released in September.

A few weeks ago, we wrote about medical debt collection going on in hospitals, and whether it was interfering with treatment or intimidating patients out of seeking needed care. Now Kaiser Health News is reporting on new Treasury Department proposed rules curbing this practice. (See also: straight from the horse's mouth, here is the press release). Is the Obama administration reading N & L? (I kid, I kid). These rules are called for in the Affordable Care Act, and, as expected, are controversial– the American Hospital Association, for instance, thinks hospitals are being held too responsible for the actions of 3rd parties when required to provide this new protection– which is just too much to ask, apparently? Come on now, let's not forget that health care is supposed to be about patients!
Tag Archives: medical debt
You need stitches, is this going on your VISA today?
. . . and while you're here, you owe us five thousand dollars. The NYT reported twice recently on medical debts and collections issue: here and here.
Nurse: For me, this is just one more symptom of the overall huge problem of the way our health insurance and healthcare systems (fail to) work. I was especially surprised that FICO said it doesn't consider medical debt any differently from other debts– so debt you incur for being irresponsible is the same as debt you incur for being genuinely unlucky. You got sick and couldn't pay? Your credit score takes the same bump it does if you overspent your credit card at Saks.
Lawyer: I don't know much about how FICO operates, but there are lots of shades, too. I mean, student loan debt is different from credit card debt is different from your cell phone plan is different from healthcare.
I suppose one could argue that their job isn't to measure how "responsible" you are, so much as how responsive you are in paying debts that you do have, no matter why you have them.
But one of the real problems seems to be that people get caught in this crazy maze of not knowing who's actually responsible for what, or wanting to dispute certain things, and having that process damage their credit (rather than straight up unpaid bills — which is also a problem, but a different one.)
Nurse: It sounds like the bill under discussion here is reasonable– removing these medical credit black marks more quickly– but I don't know, do you think there would be unintended consequences? I don't buy the "quality of data" decline that the credit agency advocates are pushing.
Lawyer: I agree that it seems like a reasonable bill. And the "quality of data" thing sounds like a crock to me, too, especially given the high rates these stories are reporting of things being either straight up errors or being matters of genuine dispute. I think other possible solutions involve including that info in the reports, but separating it out and clearly identifying it as a specific type of problem, so that users of the score (e.g. lenders) can evaluate whether they find it relevant or not. Or doing what they do with credit cards — forbidding them to report it to credit agencies in certain types of dispute situations, pending some reasonable resolution of the dispute.
Nurse: Of course, this doesn't even get into the fact that, as the article points out, billing errors are rampant. That goes back to my original point that the system is so far broken, what can we do? You can't get a doctor or hospital to quote your a price for treatment, so how are you supposed to really evaluate if you've been billed correctly? Have you ever tried to use an insurance company phone tree? Have you ever tried to do any of this while you or a family member was ill?
Lawyer: A classmate in the business school here was recently overbilled for a procedure, and it took her (a Stanford MBA student) a huge amount of time and effort to get it sorted out — she also says she just barely caught the error. I hate to imagine how difficult it would be for someone who doesn't have any background or training in dealing with such things. Where do we lay the blame? Maybe the problem is with hospitals sending things into collection too quickly, without addressing/resolving disputes with patients first. (See above proposal about not reporting to credit agencies during a dispute resolution process.)
Nurse: On the bedside debt collectors: dude, not cool. Hospitals may employ debt collection agencies, and they often do, which is ok, but allowing them into patient care areas? This is slimy, having debt collectors posing as hospital employees, or having them demand payment before treatment in the ER. Isn't that illegal, lawyer? EMTALA?
Lawyer: I don't know much about EMTALA (that's the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act) — I think it forbids refusing care based on inability to pay, but I'm not sure it forbids demanding payment in advance where possible. I could see a problem arising if the hospital didn't make it clear to the patient that they would receive emergency treatment even if they couldn't pay. (In other words, if they mislead the patient, and the patient leaves without care, that could be trouble.)
It certainly sounds like some of these practices are some kind of possible fraud or misrepresentation. And it probably violates state law in a lot of places that have good consumer protection laws.
Nurse: Yes, my concern is that it may seem to patients that they are or will be refused care if they can't pay, even if that's not really the case– it's essentially intimidation on the threat of not receiving care. Patients, you are entitled to evaluation and stabilization in and ER, whether or not you can pay, and whether or not you owe anyone money. They can ask you for payment, but they must evaluate and treat you, payment or not. Also not cool: You should not need to fear that seeking treatment in an ER will lead to your harassment for current or previous bills.
Lawyer: Very good point.
Nurse: Yes, hospitals provide uncompensated care. No, they can't fix it this way. Unless they care more about money than about care– in which case, they should go work for Goldman Sachs, am I right?
Lawyer: Maybe it's kind of a desperation play? Because heaven forbid we should work to reduce the cost of care. That would probably do more to keep the doors open.
Nurse: Yeah, I mean, they try that, but it's a big, messy problem. True, you can't provide any care at all if you are entirely broke– but there is a line, and this practice crosses it.
Lawyer: Where do you think that line is? Is it okay to just talk about payment before providing care (assuming the person isn't actively dying at the moment?)
What about people who actually legitimately incur costs that they can't pay — when can the hospital start pursuing them for payment?
Nurse: I think if they could tell you what it will cost, and make it clear that your will receive treatment no matter what, it might be ok. But it's pretty near impossible to find out what a medical treatment is going to cost you before you get it. Just try sometime. You'll be told, "well, it depends. . . ." There have been lots of studies comparing costs of treatments lately and it's just wild.
I would not want to work as a nurse in this environment– and I think my duty as a patient advocate would be to treat and protect these patients upfront. After they are treated, on their way out, fine, but not on my watch.
Lawyer: Luckily, a lot of times when debt is sold, it's done sloppily, so collection agencies sometimes sue for collection and it turns out they don't have clear enough records to actually state any kind of legal claim to the debt. (Though this happens more with consumer debt than with medical debt, which is, perhaps obviously, more closely tied to the person who incurred it.)
I don't know how that interacts with the credit agencies.
For now, I'm gonna put my money on state law for eliminating these abuses. But fingers crossed on the federal laws about credit scores, too!

OK, we know that the whole of last season was the Final Salute to Highbury and those of you at the Wigan game have already said your goodbyes but the famous old building deserves just one more reflection. Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke grew up in a house called 'Highbury'. Here's his last, final, ultimate, never-to-be repeated tribute.
For most of last season, you could see the imposing features of Emirates Stadium from the East Stand upper tier at Highbury. It was almost as if the new building was sitting on the shoulder of the West Stand just letting it know it was there and about to take its place.
As construction continued you knew the last days of Highbury were drawing near. Of course, there were helpful hints during games - the Final Salute activities, two countdown clocks, 11 men not wearing red-and-white on the pitch - but still you could not believe that football at Highbury would soon be no more.
There is still a little bit of denial in my head to be honest. Arsenal.com has had a whole microsite devoted to Emirates Stadium for three years now and we have been to the ground on countless occasions but, at the same time, these words are being written from an office in the famous East Stand. Club staff move to a new building later in the summer so the Highbury era is not quite over yet.
Similarly, there is a steady trickle of supporters taking a lunchtime detour to Avenell Road just to get that final, final look. You can see them out of the office windows. Typically they walk up and down, linger outside the main steps for five minutes, take a few snaps and then sigh deeply before wandering back to the tube station.
Every Arsenal fan will have a similar mixture of emotions when the new fixtures come out this week. After seeking out the dates for Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea they will try to get their head around the fact these games will be played at Emirates not Highbury.
But is it possible to be so emotionally attached a building? Actually let's re-phrase that. Is it sane to be so emotionally attached to a building? Given the outpouring of sentiment and passion after the final whistle on May 7, the answer to the first question is quite obviously yes.
Our new home will be a special, special place but Highbury is unique, as are the personal memories we have invested into it.
For what it is worth here's a few of mine at random - the grand symmetry in the East and West Stands, the marching Police Band, hotdogs from a cart outside the ground, the banter between the North Bank and the Clock End, having undersoil heating years ahead of its time, the old schoolboys enclosure in front of the East Stand, my Dad, the way the North Bank used to rush forward in a wave of people when Arsenal scored, peanut sellers, double parking on Elwood Street, queuing to get into Arsenal tube station and walking to Finsbury Park because I was far too impatient to wait.
Better stop there.
However even those rose-tinted reflections can not contradict the fact that Highbury is too cramped for the needs of a top European football club. Arsenal's aspirations are simply bigger than the ground that has nurtured them.
The run to the Champions League Final lifted the Club to a whole higher echelon and this move is a part of making that permanent.
Still, like millions of others, I will miss Highbury.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hot Guys We're Thankful For
We credit these five cuties for kicking off the U.K. music obsession. Their single, "What Makes You Beautiful" dominated the radio this year and "One Thing" is for sure — 1D is no one hit wonder!
The girls of Little Mix are definitely not letting One Direction steal all the attention! X-Factor U.K. winners Leigh-Anne, Jesy, Jade, and Perrie—who is currently dating One Directions's Zayne Malik—stepped out onto the scene with singles, "Wings" and "DNA." These girls are definitely proving that the boys aren't the only ones that have it going on! The sassy girls are definitely on rise in both the U.K. and in the U.S. and we can not wait to see what they have in store!

Got the same boots, love them, but I am in agreeance and would not pay full price, got last years model when they popped up on Brociety. I had the DC Status before and those were a struggle to get out of, these are so much easier to get in and out of and are much softer. My only complaint is that the fast lace handles sometimes get loose from their holders, other than that, they are really comfortable.
They are prewired to work with the Therm-IC heat packs that were available from Burton, I picked them up from Sierra Snowboard for $40 on clearance, why not since I never had heated boots before and seems like a good idea on cold days. The heat packs come with the cords that plug into the connector and clip onto the front of the boot on the tongue. They have 3 settings and are rechargeable which is nice, but they only heat up the toe box, they do not heat the entire lining, but do as advertise and keep the front part of the boot nice and warm for a couple of hours, definitely notice the difference it on the ride up esp when it's cold, every little bit helps when it's cold out.
15 days of riding and they are still going strong, would definitely get another pair but not at full price.

dude it's funny but I think these boots does not keep me warm at all, unlike my hail in like 22 degree I still feel well isolated, but for the slx the wind just keep blowing in from the top part of the boot.
and by the way, what does prewired heating system actually do and how to make it work though ?
|I got them for around that price as well. No way could I pay more for boots than a board. Picked up SLX over Ion because of the prewired heating system. My feet get so damn cold that was a must have.
just received Burton SLX Boots!!
I agree that I must be out of my mind to pay a pair of boots for close to 300 bucks, although they were originally more than $500
any way, will take them up tomorrow along with my sierrascope and ride delta, let u guys know asap.
First Impressions:
Well, the main reason for me to buy these boots, is because I tried burton ION in my local shop and really liked them, however they only had half size bigger so I went online and try to spot something. I didn't hesitated too long when I see these boots on sierra, it's almost 300 bucks but what ever. So I received them yesterday and tried them on and walked in my place, to be honest it holds my feet pretty well. I have a narrowed heel so it does has small rooms on my heel, but after putting those yellow bars everything is fine. the toebox is a bit plus for me, it is just big enough to contain my toes, compared to k2 t1 ,which is another amazing pair of boots, the latter one is way too large for me. And also, for people who has a high arc, I think you guys will be just fine into those slx because I have a medium-high arc and they didn't let me feel uncomfortable.
That's almost all about fitting, now let's talk about the laces. it uses 2 burton famous speed zone lacing system, along with that yellow lock for liners, I am a traditional lace guy and always had a phobia with those easy going lacing system, I haven't taken them on the mountain so I couldn't tell how good they held up, but it is really easy to tight/release them once u know how to do it. While walking these boots feel pretty tight to my body, i guess that's a good thing. And the flex on a burton scale is like medium I guess.
Overall they are comfy and impressive, but I couldn't picture myself to pay the 500 msrp full price for it, even for the price I paid I still think there is a lack of satisfaction somewhere. I guess I have to take them up to the mountain to see how they really perform. And the construction feels less elegant than the ION i tried. both pairs are 2010 models.
Again, i'll take them tomorrow to the mountain and let's see how things goes.

I would cut half of them if not in use down (or plane them down) to 1 1/4" and feed them into the brood nest. The other half can be used for honey as they are typically 1 1/2". Brood is typically 1 1/4". In my experience they will cheat on the 1 1/2" bars and soon will be between the bars.
My TBH that i started in May is doing well, despite the hot dry weather here in Texas. There are 7 bars drawn out completely and 3 partial ones. All of them are straight on the starters, lots of brood at all stages and a couple bars of uncapped honey. But, i just realized today that ALL my bars are 1 1/2" wide.(due to the fact that i guess i can't read a ruller right) How much trouble is this gonna cause me? Should i do anything about it now?
So, if I put them in every other, when and how do I get the wide ones moved to the back for the honey?

See also Central City (Earth-Spirit) for a complete list of references to clarify differences between these closely named or closely related articles.
Central City, Missouri, located across the Missouri River from Keystone City, Kansas, was founded in the 19th century and became an important stop for cattle drives. It began to see tremendous growth after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, becoming the first major hubs west of Chicago. A second period of growth occurred after World War I, and it has burgeoned to the present day.[1] Central City was the home to the second Flash, Barry Allen.
In the 25th Century, the city became known as the Central Cityplex.[2]
Points of Interest
- Brookfield Heights - trendy residential area
- Chubbuck - residential area and home to Central City Hospital
- City Center - downtown area and home to the Flash Museum
- Danville - middle class residential area and home to Barry and Iris Allen
- Englewood - residential area with scenic views of nearby Granite Peak National Park
- Lawrence Hills - industrial area
- Leawood - blue-collar residential area and home to Central City Stadium
- Mounds View - home to Hardwell Fields, the city's airport, and named after many Native American burial mounds in the area
- New Brighton - residential and commercial area, home to the Central City Rail Station
- Petersburg - home to many of Central City's excellent restaurants
- University Town - home to Central City University
- Westminster - formerly home to stockyards, now the location of S.T.A.R. Labs

- Central City Cougars (football)
- Central City Miners (basketball)[4]
- Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Central and Keystone, collectively known as the "Gem Cities" were not twin cities. Rather, Central City only existed on Earth-One and Keystone City only existed on Earth-Two.
- Some sources have shown Central City to be in Ohio instead of Missouri.
- The map in the Atlas of the DC Universe claims that Keystone and Central are across the Mississippi from each other, which implies that it flows very differently in the DCU than in our universe, as the Mississippi does not border Kansas. However, the Missouri does, and if the DCU Mississippi is analogous to the real-life Missouri, then Central City is in the northwestern corner of the state, near Kansas City.
- The Atlas also claims that I-74 goes through Central City. This interstate is clearly routed differently in the DC Universe than in our own, as it does not go through Missouri. It also shows an outerbelt, I-274, going south of the city. No such interstate exists in our universe, although one is planned for Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
- The DCU version of Central City is not to be confused with the city by the same name as seen in Will Eisner's The Spirit.

i went to the hardware store and got a brass bushing and made my own bushing, its longer then the original so it covers every bit of the end of the input shaft which pretty much eliminates the problem. so no more issue there
New problem, i went to put the pressure plate onto the flywheel and it wont tighten up. the pressure plate is just so far away fromn the flywheel, i think its because i had to machine so much off of the flywheel because it was in such bad shape. so theres no way to get this pressure plate to sit down against the flywheel. i have tried everything, i have a bolt broken off in the flywheel now. I dont know what to do at this point, do i need a new flywheel?
|Can you post a pic of the damage? Unless it is extreme, a properly oiled bronze bushing should be okay untill you can do it right. Smooth any rough protrusions w/emery cloth, as to prevent the pilot tearing up the new bushing. When the pilot is damaged, you HAVE to use a bushing, or you will destroy the new bearing VERY quickly, and cause more damage to the pilot. Take the bushing, seal one end w/your thumb, and fill the bushing with clean motor oil. Then, press your other thumb on the top and squeeze together. When the oil is seeping through the sides of the bushing, you are done, and ready to install.
well that sounds like a great option but its Christmas eve and i was already lucky enough to have the flywheel turned but now the shop is closed, i wish i had known this earlier. this clutch needs to go in today, Im starting a new job on Tuesday and need my truck, not to mention I'm supposed to be visiting my old ladys family on Christmas and nobody's gonna be able to give me a ride or let me borrow a vehicle.
Am i going to run into any trouble down the road if i just run the pilot bearing with everything as is? I test fitted it and it was an acceptable fit. If i Really need to do this i can do it on monday... id really like to not be stuck at home twiddling my thumbs on Christmas over a truck part tho lol.
This is very common. The needle pilot bearing is a factory replacement part, that is what the truck came factory with. Make sure you pack the new one with grease, or properly oil the new bronze bushing.
You need to remove the input shaft, and take it to a competent machine shop. Have them find a ball bearing with the proper sized ID on the center (to provide an interference press fit on the pilot, IIRC about .006" interference), break the outer race and balls off, press it on the pilot and lathe it to the original pilot size. This way you still have a hardened surface for the pilot bearing to run on. I have done this MANY times, it was the preferred method of repair for trucks off warranty when I was working for Dodge. Once done, it almost never has to be done again.
if the shaft is all beat up, I would think a bushing would be more forgiving
but it will still have to be kind of in spec.
I would go get a bushing and test fit, it
if its to sloppy, you may have to replace the shaft
quick clutch install question
So im changing the clutch on my 94 dodge cummins truck. somebody changed the clutch before me and they put a needle bearing in in place of the stock pilot bushing. the needle bearing came out in peices, probably never got any grease. So the problem is that the portion of the input shaft on the trans that accepts the pilot bushing is all grooved up and not strait anymore. Not the end of the world but id sure like some suggestions from you guys, im sure many of you have run into similar issues. Im heading to the machine shop tomorrow to do the flywheel, maybe they can help me out?
and another quick question, last time i did a clutch on my chevy i put a needle bearing in instead of a bushing which im not really concerned with, i dont expect clutches to last forever in that truck and i put grease on the bearing unlike whoever did the clutch in my dodge, but what do you guys prefer? I would think the bushing would be the way to go on my low hp daily driver truck , wouldn't it outlast a bearing?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

pvc heater/reactor manifold
My Goal: Remove ALL equipment from inside the tank by drilling the glass and installing bulkheads, then design and build a manifold to facilitate ALL equipment.
Tank: All Glass 37 Gallon 30x12x22
Stand and Canopy: Custom made and finished in Black
Filtration: Fluval 304 with foam pre filters, one tray of bio balls, one tray of ceramic media, and one tray of Seachem Renew.
Heating: Hydor ETH 201
Day Lighting: Icecap 2 bulb retrofit kit w/430 ballast and 2-24 URI Aquasun 75 watt bulbs controlled by an Intermatic heavy duty 15 amp digital timer
Night Lighting: 2 CurrentUSA Lunar Lights Nocturnal Blue controlled by an Intermatic digital timer
Substrate: Eco Complete
CO2 system: 5 lb Aluminum cylinder, Milwaukee MA957 regulator with JBJ bubble counter, Milwaukee SMS122 PH Monitor/Controller, DC model 2 reactor
Fauna: White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Rummy Nose Tetras, Corydoras paleatus, Ancistrus sp. Bristlenose Plecostomus, Red Ramshorn Snails, Amano Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp
Flora: Blyxa Japonica, Hottonia Palustris, Alternanthera Reineckii, Myriophyllum Matogrossensse, Limnophila Aromatica, Dwarf Llobelias, Polygonum K, Eichhornia Diversifolia, Cabomba Caroliniana, Red Tiger Lotus, Eichhornia Azurea, Echinodorus Latifolius, Java Fern
Step 1: Bulkheads with intake/return fittings.
I decided on ¾ inch schedule 40 double threaded bulkheads. Since I would be using a Fluval 304 as the primary filter, I chose ¾ inch bulkheads to match the 5/8 inch tubing of the Fluval as close as possible. Hopeful that using ¾ inch would minimize the flow effects of stepping up and stepping down the plumbing, I gambled. Since the difference in diameter is only 1/8 inch, I hypothesized the flow effects would be negligible and it is so.
I really like the flexibility of Loc-Line components and wanted to use them for the return which would require a threaded fitting for the Loc-Line 3/4 inch Ball Socket x MPT Connector
Loc-Line 3/4 inch Ball Socket x MPT Connector - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
. I decided to have commonality with the bulkheads and used double threaded for the intake and return
Double Threaded Bulkhead Fitting - 3/4in - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
. The back side of the bulkhead is also threaded to facilitate the use of threaded hose barb fittings
Insert Elbow Fitting - 3/4 inch MPT x 3/4 inch Insert - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
. Threaded hose barb fittings would give me a secure connection (and feeling) while giving me the ability to remove them if needed unlike glued slip fittings. I initially bought several types of return nozzles to test the flow characteristics so I could pick the one that matched my needs. Jumping ahead a bit, after testing, the ½ inch x 2.5 inch flared nozzle
Loc-Line 1/2in X 2.5in Flare Nozzle - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
worked perfectly; this required a 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch Ball Socket Adapter
Loc-Line 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch Ball Socket Adapter - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
to connect to the ¾ inch ball socket connector. I used a ¾ inch MPT Overflow Strainer
Overflow Strainer - 3/4 inch MPT - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
for the return. All bulkheads and intake/return fittings were purchased at Marine Depot.
Below are some pictures of the bulkheads and intake/return fittings:

If you have not put loc-line together before, the pliers they sell are very useful. Loc-line is not difficult to disassemble but is a bear to put together without the pliers. Yes, they are expensive to buy if only needed once. Try to borrow a set if you can. I have 4 tanks with ½ and ¾ loc-line so the pliers are a necessity for me.

Step 2: Drill tank.
Drilling a tank is a scary proposition, one mistake and the tank is ruined. It needs to be said that drilling a tank with tempered glass is a bad idea. A lot of tanks are being made today with all sides tempered, in the past the bottom may have been, but nowadays it needs to be checked thoroughly. We will be drilling the back glass and it is not tempered. Luckily, my good friend RMC offered to help me in this area. Before drilling an in-use tank planning and organization is required. A holding tank was needed to house the fish and plants. Since my first drilled tank project took almost two weeks to complete, I would need to plan on holding my plants and fish for a couple of weeks, possibly longer since I would be designing/building an untested manifold system. I setup a 50 gallon Rubbermaid container and used the tank equipment while the tank was under construction. A trick RMC taught me: When draining a tank, shove all the substrate in one corner, get a 1 inch tube and start a siphon, shove the tube into the substrate, the substrate will siphon out of the tank quite quickly. This is a really neat trick that saves a lot of time removing the substrate and gunk.
As previously stated, RMC helped me drill the tank; he has a thread on how to do this here: (
Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 006 - Drilling Tanks & Central Filtration [ Guest ]
. We placed the holes in the center of the tank, offsetting them about 1 inch from each other to allow the tubing to run side by side. Placing the return hole 1/3 of the way down from the top and the intake hole 1/3 of the way up from the bottom worked well on the 55 drilled previously, so we located these holes the same way.
If you have never installed bulkheads before, gasket on the inside, tighten the nut by hand. Using a wrench and applying too much torque to the bulkhead nut will break the glass, strip the nut, or cause it to leak. Placing the threaded barb fitting into the bulkhead before tightening the bulkhead helps locate the threaded barb fitting into the proper position (down). Make sure you use Teflon tape on the threads of the bulkhead and threaded barb fitting. Do not apply too much torque on the threaded barb fitting or the bulkhead will split.
I attached standard ¾ inch tubing to the threaded barb fitting and used a hose clamp for extra security. Since we offset the holes earlier, the tubing rests next to each other.
For the transition into the stand I used 3/4 inch Slip x 3/4 inch Insert elbow barb fittings (
Inser Elbow Fitting - 3/4 inch Slip x 3/4 inch Insert - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
) . These are the same as the threaded barb fittings but are slip fit instead of threaded. Again, I used hose clamps for added security.
So now we have the intake and return coming out of the tank, taking a 90 degree and entering the stand with another 90 degree. This is where the manifold will begin.
Below are some pictures to help illustrate Step 2.
Bulkhead Holes
Bulkheads Installed
Tubing Installed
Here is a look from the top of the tank.
Step 3: Design the Manifold
My first attempt at drilling a tank and removing all equipment was a 55 gallon. Some pictures are located here: (
Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 001 - 55 gallon reworked [ Guest ]
. On the 55 gallon, I used 2 filters so connecting the equipment was relatively easy, one filter gets the CO2 reactor and one filter gets the Hydor heater. On this tank, I am using one filter so the equipment needed to be linked together. Every bend in the filter tubing slows the flow and generates heat. It became my priority to minimize the bends in this setup. Studying the properties of the drilled 55 gallon and using the experience gained, I decided on making a looped manifold out of PVC.
Step 4: Gather Parts.
When purchasing PVC fittings, always buy extra. They can be returned if not used but, it is very frustrating to stop a project for lack of a 90 degree fitting. I put the whole manifold together before gluing to ensure I did not leave something out. Look at the entire project and ask yourself, how will I get this apart for cleaning, disassembly, etc? Another important consideration, how and where will this fit into the stand and be secured? It may help to make a drawing for reference while purchasing parts. I used 2 sizes of PVC for this project ¾ and 1.5. Basically the reactor side is 1.5 and the heater side is ¾. The feed PVC is 1.5. I incorporated as many threaded fittings as possible into the manifold in case I needed to take something apart unforeseen and since this is a first generation manifold, I may want/need to make modifications later on. BTW, all the PVC fittings I used were found at Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards.
Here are some pictures of PVC parts to reference and help illustrate:
Threaded Union (typical)
Threaded Ball Valve (typical)
T (typical)
Slip x Slip 90 degree (typical)
Slip x FPT 90 degree (typical)
Male Adapter
Hose Barb Fitting
Threaded x Threaded Bushing
Slip x Slip Bushing
Slip x FPT Bushing
Step 5: Piece the Manifold Together
Before starting to piece the manifold together, I need to inform you of the tools required. Besides common hand tools you will need a strap wrench and PVC cutters (these cutters work on PVC up to 1 in diameter, I use a miter saw to cut PVC larger that 1). The PVC Cutter and Strap Wrench can be found at Home Depot or Lowes. Here are some pictures of these tools:

I started with my 2nd generation External Inline CO2 Reactor; I call it the DC model 2. Here is a link to my 1st generation External Inline CO2 Reactor, the DC model 1.
Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 005 - DIY External Inline CO2 Reactor [ Guest ]
I no longer use this model but do make it for other hobbyist.
The main difference between the DC model 1 and the DC model 2 is the model 2 has provisions for an inline PH probe mounted on the reactor. Here is a link to the inauguration of the DC model 2 and my first drilled tank.
Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 001 - 55 gallon reworked [ Guest ]
Since I had the length already established by using the DC model 2, it was pretty easy adapting the heater and turning these parts into a looped manifold. As you can see in this picture, I transitioned from 1.5 inch PVC to ¾ PVC using a male adapter on the output of the reactor.
Transition from 1.5 PVC to ¾ PVC illustrated
I used unions on both sides of the heater. The reason for this is if you glued the fittings together and had a leak or needed to swap out the heater, the heater may get turned in a bad position tightening up the fittings. With unions installed the heater stays positioned and the needed movement is done within the unions. Here is a picture of the unions installed on either side of the heater. I know it is hard to understand, even harder to explain; just one of those things you need to see to understand.
Unions installed on both sides of the heater illustrated
On either side of the unions is a Bushing ¾ slip x ½ fpt bushing. The ½ fpt screws onto the heater barb. Care must be taken getting the correct size, take the heater to the store with you. The bushing must screw down onto the fitting which means it must let the barb pass into the bushing. I tried several bushings before I found one that was perfect. Be extremely careful putting these bushings onto the fittings. It is very easy to snap the fitting on the heater if you over tighten the bushing. Make sure you use Teflon tape on the threads of the heater fitting. It is difficult to visualize the bushing connection in this picture due to the fastener that is installed around the bushing. The bushing is threaded onto the heater barb fitting and is glued into the union end.
Bushing installation illustrated
I installed a threaded ball valve so the manifold could be isolated for removal from the stand. Here is a picture illustrating the location of the threaded ball valve.
Threaded ball valve location illustrated
The other side of the manifold is isolated using the shutoff on the Fluval fitting. Here is a picture of the Fluval fitting connected to the inlet of the CO2 reactor.
CO2 reactor inlet shut off illustrated
The manifold is disconnected from the stand at 2 unions, one for the inlet and one for the return. Here is a picture of the unions. The union on the left is connected to the heater hard plumbing and the union on the right is connected to the Fluval tubing.
Stand union disconnects illustrated.
Here is a picture of the stand top with the manifold removed

The PH probe is located upstream from the CO2 injector. It works great and one more piece of equipment out of the tank.

Here is a picture of the completed manifold.

The manifold is held in the stand with 4 screws.

text: On the last few flights I've taken (domestic and international, on a couple of different airlines) the airline staff have been *very* strict about the size, weight, etc. of checked baggage.....but basically turn a blind eye to people with carry-on bags that are, oh, roughly the size of my house And with more bags than the signs and the tickets say are allowed. I'm curious about this. Why do airlines not enforce, or not seem to enforce, the regulations on carry-on luggage? Do they figure it's just easier to let them get on the plane with whatever, rather than force them to check the extra bags or large bags and pay for them? Or do they kind of not care what goes in the cabin, as long as it gets through security? Or is this just something about the airlines I travelled on?

Trigger warning.
Leslie Mora was brutally beaten by two strangers as she walked home from a nightclub last on June 19 at 2:30 AM. The offenders beat her with a belt as they screamed "faggot" at her in Spanish, only stopping when a passing motorist threatened to call the police. She was found nearly naked and bleeding on the sidewalk. Police recovered a blood-covered belt buckle and subsequently apprehended her assailants.
From the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund:
We've demanded that the Queens County District Attorney investigate this brutal attack as a hate crime. Leslie was beaten with a belt while her assailants called her a 'faggot.' While Leslie is a transgender woman, her attackers perceived her to be gay. State law currently classifies it as a hate crime for an individual to target and attack a victim because of the victim's actual or perceived sexual orientation. Leslie's assault is a hate crime because her attackers perceived her to be gay and targeted her for violence because of that perception. This is as clear a case for prosecution as a hate crime as any we have seen.And via Shakesville:
Her assailants, Trinidad Tapia, 19, and Gilberto Ortiz, 32, fled the scene but were arrested by police soon after the attack. Both were charged with assault with intent to cause physical injury with a weapon, a felony, and released on their own recognizance. The Queens County District Attorney has declined to investigate the attack as a hate crime.
On average, at least one transgender person is killed in the US each month. It seems only by the intervention of "good fortune" that Ms. Mora didn't join so many of our sisters and brothers already listed at the Transgender Day of Remembrance site.Keep Ms. Mora in your thoughts as she makes her way towards recovery.
ETA: For a trans perspective on this, please visit Transwoman Times.

I would try it a few times to confirm continued malfunction then put the original grips back on. If the Malf. goes away you will have your culprit. If the problem continues I would use a dremel to polish the feed ramp.
If that doesn't fix it change ammo or gun.
Good luck

First up, thanks to all here at TDH for their knowledge & the rabid attention to detail required to put together a decent Jango.
I'm in your debt.
For the past few years I've been collecting some great Jango items thanks to TDH.
I have nearly all the soft parts, and all the armor except for chest armor (I suspect BKBT's chest armor will be worth the wait).
On that topic, after much filling, sanding and failed Rub'n Buff attempts, my BKBT Jango bucket is ready to paint.
I have installed (and slightly modified) the Rangefinder electronics and have hollowed out my aluminum RF stalk for the wiring.
I have also been doing prep-work on an arena Jet Pack, great product, but lots of bubbles to deal with.
It's almost ready.
For fun, here is a pic of a nice set of Jango blasters I got a few years ago, anyone here know the maker?
They look fantastic & have solid metal grips giving them a nice balance. Here is a pic of the grips being made.
Once the Chest Armor arrives & is ready I'll post a few pics of the finished item.
As always, all feedback is welcome...

Why Stupid People are NOT Protected Under the US Constitution!
Contrary to conventional non-wisdom, Kevin A. Lehmann's views are NOT protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. Is there anyone in the three branches of government that can interpret our most sacred document (Playboy notwithstanding) correctly?
Like in Christendom where scores of sects believe mutually contradictory things but all rationalize that the others aren't "real" Christians, so too has the clear and concise language of the Constitution and the 27 Amendments progressively undergone exegetical attacks over the decades – depending on which party is in power – to conform to a particular political philosophy. And both sides being heavily dependent on the votes of stupid people, both have taken full advantage of this skewed interpretation in their efforts to court them.
But this is one hermeneutical battle America can ill afford to lose. Our founding principles, i.e., Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness By Mocking Stupid People, hang in the balance. In short, unless you want to end up in Idiocracy, our nation's very survival depends on it.
America faces a grave threat from stupid people. Stupid people are infiltrating our country in droves and they're doing it under the guise of "Constitutional Protection." And like that island that used to be Great Britain, if we don't act now, then it will be later, by definition. Stupid people may be stupid themselves, but a few of their backers are actually quite cunning, crafty and clever. They're using our ignorance of the understanding of our own Constitution against us, and they are clandestinely and methodically spreading their tentacles in a quiet and unassuming manner.
Federal, state, and local governments on the other hand won't acknowledge the imminent threat of stupid people. With both parties relying heavily on the stupid vote to win close elections in battleground states, they incorrectly claim that stupid people have "Constitutional Rights" to express their stupid opinions, spam them across the Internet, form stupid discussion groups, and implement Teh St000p1d in their communities and in the public square. They're dead wrong! And by and large, stupid people are getting away with it just like they have in Europe, particularly in Poland and East Frisia. Only unlike Europe, and in Poland and East Frisia in particular, it's not too late to stem the tide, but we have to act now. Time is not on our side. In fact, this may come as a shock, but there are actually more stupid people than smart ones on the Internet today. We are already well under way to being stupidified.
To understand stupid people is to understand Teh St000p1d. The ideology of stupidity is nothing short of a totalitarian political, economic, military, social and legal system that's camouflaged in religious garb. Their mandate (not objective) is to incorporate our country into a global zone of stupid, where empty slogans like "hope and change" pass for an argument and catch phrases like "lamestream media" and "gotcha journalism" pass for a rebuttal.
Sadly, they are making serious inroads towards their tyrannical mandate because America is not resisting. We are all that stands between freedom and a world of stupid. The United States of America is the world's last bastion of hope.
Yet, the dreadful message we get from ignorant and incompetent lawmakers (and from smart but cynical ones who need the stupid vote) is that our Constitution renders us powerless to do anything about stupid people. On the contrary, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence – properly interpreted – actually give our federal, state and local governments justification and authority to stop Kevin A. Lehman dead in his tracks!
Here's How . . .
Stupid opinions are NOT speech in the sense we understand speech. Teh St00pid—which stands for "stupid" or "duh hickey" – is about COMPLETE RETARDATION. It is a total form of non-thinking that controls every aspect of the lives of its adherents. It's a barbaric form of life. It masquerades as good ol' fashioned Judeochristanity rooted in Old Testament principles, but unlike most of today's Judeochristians (whoever the hell they are), these guys actually buy in to the thievery and murderous thuggery of the old Testament, even seeking to outlaw any other religions formed after Roman thugs killed Jesus and Christian thugs invented anti-Semitism by blaming it all on the Jews. In fact, some stupid people think any religion formed after Jesus's death and/or rumors of his resurrection doesn't count as a "religion" at all!
Only their modern day tactics now include recruiting mentally ill, naive and gullible idiots who spread Teh St00p1d on the Internets. And Western countries indoctrinated with the lies of a U.S. Constitution and that politically correct "Bill of Rights" have reluctantly turned a blind eye. But like the Alien and Sedition Acts, Japanese internment, the separate but equal doctrine and handgun bans in our nation's capital and our third largest city, the Constitution of the United States of America can't stop us from doing anything. It's just a piece of paper we can either follow or ignore. So let's ignore it, Allah damn it!
Given that fact, we must understand our founding principles that (1) the Constitution, and hence any constitutional rights, derive from the smart people who wrote the Constitution, not the stupid people who didn't, (2) stupid people do not have the right to divest us of our Rights (nor even to correct us for inexplicably capitalizing a common noun for no apparent reason), and (3) the purpose of civil government is to secure the rights our non-stupid founding fathers gave us.
What are our rights, and where do they come from? Playboy? The Jersey Shore? Anyone named Kardashian? No! The Declaration of Independence, whose sole legal effect is to separate us from the island that used to be Great Britain, says:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, except for the stupid ones who are vastly inferior to us, that all non-stupid people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness (which is most easily pursued by poking fun at stupid people) and the right to practice any religion they want, as long as it is Judeochristianity rather than Islam. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men who aren't stupid. . ."
So, where do our rights come from? Encyclopedia Britannica, of course. And what are those rights? Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and the right to mock stupid people.
Intellect is the very essence of Allah's model for civil government in a secular, libertarian-leaning theocracy like our own. Inscribed on the Liberty Bell is Leviticus 19:28 – "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." I mean, c'mon. Seriously. Who get tattoos?! Stupid people, that's who.
Do stupid people respect the rights Allah gave us? Of course not! Teh St000p1d stands in stark contrast to Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and all but the basest, least funny ways to poke fun at stupid people. Let's have a look . . .
- Life: Teh St000p1d is a culture of death, fascism, prejudice and, well, stupidity. [And if you didn't see that last one coming, you're probably not the sharpest tool in the shed yourself.]
- Liberty: Teh St000p1d is a culture where freedom means nothing, the Constitution means less (OK, I've already said that it *does* mean less, but never mind that) and conversion to another belief system is grounds for expulsion or worse. But if you're too stupid to know the difference, no problem; just call it "freedom" and the fascist who advocated it a "libertarian-leaning constitutional conservative."
- Pursuit of Happiness: Theirs is a dictatorship of boredom and distraction. How many times have we already heard of corrupt businessmen and politicians getting away with their crimes because we were all too busy watching reruns of Jon – Kate + H8 to care? Public stupidity is commonplace. Women who expose their breasts in public are stared at, ogled and sometimes even catcalled by men. Stupid women are no better. For all the suffering and misery in the world, what do they care about? Whether some man left a toilet seat up or not! Jesus H. Chr.. um, I mean, Kevin A. Lehmann, what is this world coming to?
- Freedom of Speech: Try criticizing stupid people in Poland, one of our few remaining allies in Europe. Psych! Of course nothing will happen, as they're too damned stupid to notice! You could waltz into any bar in Warsaw and call the drunkest, meanest looking patron a "Polack" to his face and he wouldn't raise an eyebrow. That's right, Polacks are so damned stupid they even call themselves Polacks. Is that where you want our country to end up?
For every right supposedly given to us by Allah – or actually given to us by the Constitution – stupid people seek to eradicate.
Do stupid people have the "right" to impose Teh St000p1d in this country which strips us of our rights? No! If Allah wanted stupid people to have the "right" to take our rights away from us, he would have given them half a brain to pull it off. The reason he gave us the wits we have is so we could take those same rights from them!
Lawmakers tell us stupid people have a First Amendment "right" to express their ill-formed opinions, form Facebook groups, proselytize, and implement Teh St000p1d right here. But is that what the First Amendment says? No! See for yourself:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, provided, however, that no rights described herein shall be available to stupid people."
OK, so maybe I made that last part up but never mind that. Consider the verbiage of what came before very carefully. A lot of lawmakers and most Americans make the exegetical error that the First Amendment grants us rights. It doesn't. Just like the rest of that quaint, politically correct Constitution, the First Amendment is just a bunch of words on a cheap piece of parchment. It doesn't grant any rights to anybody, any more than a stupid Facebook note like this one does. All it does is say Congress isn't supposed to do what Kevin Lehman and his fellow stupids want it to do. It doesn't prevent Congress from actually doing squat. Therefore, stupid people do not have a First Amendment "right" to publicly express their ill-formed opinions, create Facebook groups, proselytize, implement Teh St0000p1d in our country or copy and paste the same trite phrase several times in a single essay.
Not only do stupid people claim the "right" to impose Teh St000p1d on the stupid communities that are rapidly spreading throughout our country, they also claim the "right" to impose Teh St000p1d on the rest of us in the public square. They demand a stupid-compliant Constitution, private financial institutions that "voluntarily" refuse to comply with the belief systems of others, and that such other abominations as non-Judeochristians be banned from their presence. Moreover, they commit both religious bigotry and first-degree quotation mark abuse, whichever is worse, in denigrating the prayers of other non-Judeochristians as mere "quote, prayers, unquote."
All this begs the question: Do Americans have any Constitutional protection against the invasion of stupid people being foisted upon us? Absolutely! Article VI, Clause 2 of our Constitution states:
"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
Did you get that? Oh wait, you actually did get that? Never mind what you just read, and instead allow me to tell you what it means. While it says the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, it means that the Constitution is authorized by the supreme law of the land, which in turn means my own Allah-given distaste for stupid people. And anything to the contrary, including that politically correct "Constitution," must fall.
The practice of Teh St000p1d in the United States, at any level directly violates our Constitution. Stupid people who therefore seek to overthrow our Constitution or otherwise usurp or circumvent it are guilty of Criminal Sedition, or at least of capitalization abuse. The federal government has the duty to prosecute them for sedition, or deport them, even if they are U.S. citizens and there is no place to deport them to. We gotta get rid of those idiots somehow, dammit.
The Declaration of Independence says the purpose of civil government is to secure the rights Allah gave us. Stupid people seek to take away our Allah-given rights. Civil government is supposed to protect us from those who seek to divest us of our rights. Therefore it's incumbent on every American citizen to insist that our federal, state, and local governments immediately STOP the stupidification of OUR COUNTRY- starting with an immediate cease and desist on the formation of all stupid Google, Facebook and Yahoo! discussion groups! The purpose of our civil government is to protect our ALLAH-given rights. And again, if Allah really wanted these idiots to succeed, he would have given them half a brain.
The Declaration of Independence, whose sole legal force in the U.S. is to separate us from the island that used to be Great Britain, recognizes Allah as Creator, Supreme Judge and Regulator of the World – our Divine Protector.
In fact, some stupid people even interpret Article VII of our Constitution, which which explicitly forbids titles of nobility even for citizens, as nevertheless recognizing everyone's favorite non-citizen, Jesus H. Christ, as a "lord" solely because the framers identified years in the same Allah-damned way everyone else in the western world does:
"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Seven…
ZOMG! Did you just see that? They called the year 1787 "in the year of our Lord," so by Jove, that must mean that someone who was living 1787 years earlier was a lord. Who might that be? Herod? Pilate? The mind boggles. Next time you catch an atheist identifying the current year as 2011 "A.D.," be sure to ask him whose lordship he is asserting.
In Summary:
- Our rights come from Allah. Stupid people think they mean whatever stupid people want them to mean, which is nothing, and that their own stupid interpretations trump the Constitution. Our Constitution doesn't give "rights" to anybody. So stupid people don't have "constitutional rights" to come to our secular nation, make up a religion called Judeo-Christianity, and do those other stupid things I copied and pasted umpteen times before.
- Stupid people take away from non-stupids the rights the Constitution gave them (and the rights which Allah himself would surely have given us, if we could be sure he existed at all). Since our Declaration of Independence makes us a separate country from the island that used to be Great Britain, the purpose of civil governments is to secure the rights Allah gave us, it is the duty and responsibility of civil governments at all levels to protect us from the stupid people who would take them away without even knowing WTF they are doing (because they are, like, stupid).
- Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution – the "Smart Supremacy Clause" – is the silver bullet that makes it unconstitutional for stupid people to open their mouths anywhere in our Country.
Let me be perfectly clear. Stupid people are not friends of America. They may act like affable dunces but they are, at their core, our enemy. The very notion of "Judeo-Christian" – a syncretistic fusion of Judaism and Christianity – being promoted by such notable stupid people as Kevin A. Lehmann, author of the widely spammed essay "Why Islam is NOT Protected Under the US Constitution!" is an abomination. It's anti-American, or at least un-American, and antithetical to the religious liberty upon which our great nation was founded. It is imperative that you understand the inherent danger of stupid people, and the amalgamation of folding religion into Teh St000p1d.
Your state senators and congressmen are completely oblivious to the imminent threat that stupid people pose to the sovereignty of our nation. Some are dependent on the stupids and the rest are uneducated and weak. It's imperative you demand they get informed very quickly and embrace the fight to stop the spread of Teh St000p1d at the local level. MENSA, whose name is Spanish for "stupid," issued a report last year entitled: "Stupid People: More Dangerous Than You Think (Unless, of Course, You Are Stupid Yourself, In Which Case You Don't Think At All)." Demand they read it and take immediate action to defend your community from Teh St000p1d.
Are you curious to know what life is like when your community has been infiltrated with stupid people, especially when you consider that nearly half the population is now stupider than average? Click here to listen to my radio show back on February 30th with Anders Behring Breivik, a stupid person who hates Muslims even more than Kevin Lehmann does. Since that time, he has murdered almost 80 non-Muslims and stands to serve a whopping 21 years in prison for his entire rampage. Do you seriously doubt that the stupids are taking over?
Europe, in the interest of multiculturalism and political correctness, made a grave error. And now they are hopeless to reverse it, especially in the island that used to be Great Britain, without a civil and very bloody religious war. An entire country, even with it's apostrophe abuse intact, is now at the mercy of Kevin A. Lehmann and the Stupid Brigade. Recently exonerated actor Hormel Chavez, famed star of "Ow, My Balls," listed ten steps Western countries must take to halt the stupidification of their countries. All ten steps would be mandated by our Declaration of Independence, if only that documented mandated anything at all beyond our separation from the island that used to be Great Britain. All are consistent with the Constitution stupid people loathe (or would loathe, were they smart enough to understand it at all):
- Stop kicking me in the nuts. There's nothing remotely funny about that, and it hurts like hell. How would you like it if someone did that to you? Just stop.
- Stop pretending that your stupid ideas are "speech." The free speech clause was intended to protect the expression of intelligent speech, not yours.
- Show the true face of one stupid person or worse, a group of stupids acting in concert. It's not pretty.
- Stop all immigration from countries whose citizens have an average IQ lower than our own. For stupid people who are already citizens, tell them that if they STFU and do what smart people tell them, they may continue to live here as dimmies. [And don't worry about that obvious pun, either; it won't be obvious to the stupid people who are the butt of it.]
- Outlaw Teh St000p1d and deport everyone who says anything stupid in public.
- Require Kevin A. Lehmann and every person who spams his essay across the Internets to sign a loyalty oath or be kicked in the nuts. Once they grudgingly sign it, kick them in the nuts anyway, cuz you know they're going to violate it eventually.
- Yeah,that's great that you love my show. Don't kick me in the nuts. Seriously. Kick Kevin in the nuts instead. He deserves it, I don't.
- Seek reciprocity with Poland and East Frisia for non-stupid people who wish to reside in those countries. Shouldn't be too hard to do; just draft an agreement using really big words in very small type, tell them it says the opposite of what it actually says, and they'll sign it to look smart.
- Close all stupid schools, public or private. They are fascist institutions teaching hate, or would be if only they were teaching anything at all.
- Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop kicking me in the nuts. That is so nut funny. Err, I mean, not funny. Damn you, auto correct.
In closing, we are at war with a very evil and cunning enemy. An enemy which, notwithstanding the lacking intellect of its adherents, seeks to destroy everything that is good about the United States of America; Everything we value; Everything we cherish, the whole friggin' point of going to school for all those years as a kid. Everything our forefathers and successive generations fought and died for, so that we could receive the torch of freedom and pass it on to our children and grandchildren.
This is our moment. It is our time to boldly split an infinitive, confuse a pronoun with a contraction, and stand up for Allah, our independence from that island that used to be Great Britain, our Constitution, and all the rights stupid people would yank away in the name of Lord Jesus. H. Judeochrist. Let us exercise our Allah-given unalienable rights and say "Yes to Freedom!" and "No to Oppression!" We owe it to our children, our grandchildren, our grandparents, a few of our great-grandparents, but not to our great-great-grandparents, who really ought to be dead by now. And of course we don't owe our great great grandchildren anything, either; that would violate the rule against perpetuities. But everyone from grandparents to grandchildren is definitely owed.
Until next time . . . Go back to sleep, America!
Kevin, A. Lameman
UPDATE: <beavis>Are you threatening me?</beavis>
UPDATE: Apparently an idle threat. The idiot in chief wrote:
@ Xriq: I don't know who the hell you are, but if you want to keep insulting me, you'll give me no choice but to give you a verbal smack down. What is it with people of your ilk? Your ignorance is only surpassed b your sheer ugliness. Just once, baffle me with a glimmer of brilliance, would you?
to which I swiftly replied:
Sorry, @Kevin, no can do. Anyone who can't tell "its" from "it's," a state from a religion, the Declaration of Independence from the Constitution, his own butt from a hole in the ground or when to capitalize a common noun is just too damned stupid to know brilliance if he saw it. I don't know why you think I'd be remotely threatened by the idea of you giving me a verbal smackdown. Quite the contrary; I'm sure any attempt would be every bit as deranged, poorly-reasoned and downright Unabomberesque as this essay was – and therefore, equally entertaining. My only request is that whatever pearls of non-wisdom you choose to share here be copied to the comment area of my blog entry, so my readers can appreciate them, too.
As of August 22,2011 at 9:12 p.m. EDT, my reply remains in moderation, while three subsequent comments from two other readers have been approved. Apparently my response was too "ugly" for Mr. Lehmann's feelings, even while his own bigotry was not, nor was this:
Amen!! There is NO MIDDLE GROUND!! Deport and expatriate all Muslims from American soil. They are citizens of a foreign nation, Islam, which dedicated to the destruction of our God-given inalienable rights. Deport now!! And start with the Muslim in the WH.
Or this:
Some stuff is just too dumb even to mock.
FINAL UPDATE: No surprise, the coward takes his ball and goes home.

Arsène Wenger has praised Abou Diaby's "exceptional" focus - and insists he always knew the midfielder would come back from his injury problems.
The France international has only featured twice for Arsenal this season and made his last appearance in the 1-1 draw with Fulham in November.
Wenger is delighted to welcome Diaby back into the fold and says he never doubted the 25-year-old's hunger to return this season.
"I will never give up on a player as long as he has the desire," said Wenger. "If I felt that in Diaby's head he had given up, then I would have said yes.
"But he was always very focused. He's an exceptional guy, Diaby. Such focus to do well is unbelievable."
Diaby will travel to Anfield for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off against Liverpool, but Wenger admits he is unlikely to start the midfielder.
"It would be a massive risk and I will only do it if I'm pushed into a situation where I have no real other choice," he said.
"To lose him straight away again would be the end of the season for him and that's a question I have to answer until tomorrow. We have to see about Song. If he cannot play then I have to consider it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
