Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
My boat was never on a freighter. I believe i asked about paying a freighter to take you through the canal as cargo but no a day that is seemingly pointless.
Here is my reason for not paying 170you per year, which is totally reasonable mind you. If i paid for the haul out and survey then policy right now i would have to put off leaving for yet another year. For two years i have been posting here periodically since mmy boat was a floaring piece o crap. Ive poured all my money into her, my classes, and maintaining my car and paying rent and other bills plus feeding myself. Im sick of it i saved enough money to finally go and because some insurance douche says my personal survey or marina invoices or documented picutre evidence is worthless. I spend what man? 1500 for the haulout survey and policy? When my annual income is 15kthe and the past two years over 10kthere plus the cost of the boat. So ill go without insurance. When i get another job, and im living somewhere im happy, guess what? Ill get insurance. Hell ill get a bigger better boat and a lot of other things to make living self reliant easier..
i could get an outboard for my inflateable for 500you right now too but im going to wait. 500 is more than a month in paradise.
Whether you boil it down to impetuousness or impatience is of no regard as it will add no coin to my cofffer thus no incentive to behave differently in regards to this matter at this time present. My oppinion remains that if someone would offer me a decent rate i would take it. As of yet thats has not occuered
Harborless, just to let you know, I understand were you are coming from and I agree. Funny how all these wannabe Hollywood Pirates will pretend they are carefree and follow the spirit of freedom that supposedly our way of life adheres too. As they joke about, sailing drunk with their,' why's the rum gone' and 'naked women on deck' fake attitude, (I like naked women and rum!), when someone comes along and actually tries to screw the big bad, East India Trading Company (big banks, insurance companies, big government), they quickly shot them down because they are afraid to step over the line into freedom themselves.
I say, fight for your freedom anyway you can. I'm doing the same in my own way. I will carry comprehensive insurance as long as I can, but as soon as the insurance/survey hoops get to be too much, then I go to liability only. And when that gets to be too much, I cut the ties and go free. Not that I don't care, but I am sick of my life being held up because someone else says I have to toe the same line as they do. Well, maybe I don't value the same line if money is the object. Morality, honesty, loyalty are not tied to an insurance policy, they are within an individual and define character. I could be docked next to the riches person in the marina who could afford a fancy lawyer who could screw me out of some damage the may do because they don't want their insurance rate to go up, or I could be docked next to someone who doesn't have an insurance policy and they're mast fall over and hit my boat and they do what ever it takes to help me get it back right again. Integrity is the insurance policy I look for in others.
The rule I go by, always keep your sea chest account with Neptune positive, things seem to work out better that way.
Good luck on your trip Harborless.
Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
Believe that if you are insured the insurance company has "skin in the game". In our screwed up system that increases odds you will get the best lawyer and every trick or nuance will be made use of to decrease their ( and your ) exposure.

Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
Doesnt that upset you? Your friends life has been forever indebted to someone else for insurance. This is lunacy people. Lunacy. And every timr ive had something happen with my car insurance they Aalways find a clause to get them out of paying. So basically im being robbed monthly and when i need help it doesnt come. The system is screwed not my thinking. You people are too indocrinated to attempt any further discussion in this matter. I feel sorry for you. Harborless out.
Ps ur right it only coers us waters. What a crock o crap rip off. No thanks.
No my friends brother in indebted because he had no insurance, not because he had insurance.. He is not paying the insurance company his payments go straight to the "victim" because he lost a court case on who was liable and who was at fault. He was only found 50% at fault but 50% of millions is still LOTS of money. If he had insurance he may not have been indebted or a lot less "indebted"..
Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
I hope you are more rational when it comes to passage making. Mother Nature doesn't owe you anything and is entirely less fair than the insurance system. Good luck with that.

Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
...1500 for the haulout survey and policy?...
I cannot believe that haulout and insurance survey of a 27' boat would cost you $1330. My 25 footer was $300 for the pre-purchase survey ($12/foot is the going rate here), and insurance surveys are less thorough and less costly than pre-purchase surveys.
A "personal survey" of a boat is about as worthless as a "self appraisal" of one's own house. There is a reason insurance and mortgage companies hire trained, impartial professionals to do this stuff.
This is all academic anyway, because a $170 liability policy probably would not cover you outside US coastal waters, so heading out of US waters is probably the most responsible thing any uninsured boater can do.

In high school a friends older brother, 18 at the time, was involved in a car accident where a single mother lost both an arm and a leg and was in a coma for about three weeks..
His parents each assumed the other one had added the son to the insurance policy. They had not.
The woman's "uninsured motorist" insurance net very quickly evaporated. Her family and their lawyer then came after Rich and his family, what else it's America....
After five years of legal battle, and HUGE legal expenses, his family was found not liable, because he was 18 at the time. Unfortunately Rich was held liable for 50% of the damages. This even though anyone in their right mind, including the officers who responded, agrees it was 100% not his fault. Didn't matter to the courts... This award for damages included loss of income, medical bills etc. etc...
Rich is now in his late 40's, nearly 31 years later, and still paying, it's not a small garnish either..... Suffice it to say that having had no insurance costs Rich forever. There is no way he will ever be able to pay off the awarded damages unless he's making 500k per year, which he's not....
Insurance companies and lawyers don't care if you don't have insurance especially if you are able bodied and earning a paycheck any little bit helps and they can go after it.....
Re: NE Insurance Rates - Reasonable?
yup. but they got inside. it gets to Norfolk on the 21th. can't sleep nights waiting. thanks for asking.

The Mustang GT has always been a real kick in the pants. Powerful, classically understated, well priced and packed full of amazing exhaust notes. It has and always will represent a true performer for the masses. But much like Harley's old tech Evo motors, Mustang GT's 4.6 L SOHC V8 is more than a little long in the tooth and, alongside newer entrants like Chevy Camaro SS and Dodge Challenger SRT-8, was beginning to lack big time in the horsepower department. Even the V6 powered engine that debuted in the new-for-2009 Camaro nearly matched the 2010 Mustang GT's 315 ponies. That is until Ford dusted off the celebrated 5.0 engine nameplate for another go around in the 2011 model year.
I put a couple of hundred miles on a Kona Blue tester last weekend, and take it from me folks, it doesn't get a whole lot more muscular than this. In route to Shelter Island, my girlfriend, taken aback by the heavenly symphony of exhaust reverberations, asked me if it was supposed to be that loud. I think you can guess what I told her. With a whopping 412 horsepower and 390 lb·ft of torque, the high-tech mill makes good on any power deficits that may have previously existed. More importantly, the GT now bites as loudly as it barks and hangs tight with cross town muscle from Chevy and Dodge. I found it pretty easy to chirp the rear tires in the first 3 gears (by the way, there are 6 of them now) as I worked my way up to the revised 7,000 RPM redline. As one eloquent reviewer from Car & Driver described the new engine, "…It's utterly fabulous, a 7000-rpm cavalry charge that generates incredibly smooth, linear thrust across its broad rev band. Were you to paint the cam lids red and stick on a chrome trident, most Maserati owners would never know the difference. Yes, it's that good."
From a visual standpoint, this GT is a real sleeper and sports handsome, understated styling reminiscent of the fastbacks of yesteryear. A chrome 5.0 badge adorns the front fenders to let everyone know that you mean business. For the track rats among us, there is an optional Brembo brake package, borrowed from the almighty GT500, that includes 14-inch vented front discs and unique 19-inch alloy wheels and summer performance tires. I didn't have too much opportunity to put all that stopping power to proper use, but let's just say the brakes are more than capable of slowing down all that muscle in a hurry if the need arises.
The 2011 Mustang GT hit dealerships earlier this month and starts just under $30k with the close ratio manual tranny – that works out to about $73 dollars per pony. For comparisons sake, consider that the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo will run you about $266/pony. Not too shabby.
Enjoy the weekend

text: Championship level play. We caught glimpses of the Piston defense only here and there in the regular season. We certainly did not play the Bulls like this during the regular season. Murray, Hunter, really the whole team had their hands on balls. We stayed with the shooters making them drive into traffic. They would throw the ball away or to Ben. Encouraging too was the play of Maxiel. He brought a dimension that the Bulls could not match. Dyss is back to hitting the jumpers as he doesn't have to shoot it over taller centers. We seem to be a deeper team than they are. The rebounding should be there all series. We are simply a taller team. Only one game. We must keep the petal to the metal.

Hi guys! Been a few years since I have posted on the forum . I'm getting older and my knees aren't getting any better , so I probably won't be doing any upland hunting in my future. Last time on, I posted and sold my 14 ' TDB, 10 ' Aquapod , and sea duck decoys.
I am now posting for sale my Browning Citori Superlight Feather 12 gauge shotgun for sale. I am the original owner, and bought it new, with the hope that I would be doing some upland hunting. As it turned out, I had to move for my job, and never got around to this type of hunting. I am now retired, and my old knees pretty much keep me out of the woods.
The gun is like new, and has had no more than 3 boxes of shells fired through it. Went field hunting once, and skeet shooting once. Other than that, it has been in a gun case in my closet. It has the 26 inch barrels, and straight high gloss walnut stock. As its name implies, it is very light and comfortable. I have the original factory box as well.
I will also include my 33 " JW Hulme takedown gun case. This is a high end fleece lined case in leather and green canvas that fits this gun very snugly. If you are not familiar with these cases, check out their website . The new ones list for $ 300 , although it appears they no longer make the shorter case that I have.
Just checked the Firearms price guide, and they value the gun at $ 2000 in very good condition. I will offer it at $ 1500, and will include the JW Hulme gun case for free.
I know this isn't the type of gun you would normally want to take out in the duck blind, but I thought I would list it here first because I sold my last items very quickly to local duck hunters. I live along the south coast in Rhode Island.
I can post or email pictures if anyone is interested.

""I have found Snopes to be lacking at times,""That is the understatement of the century. I have lost all confidence in snopes and never go there any more. I have sent them many articles straight from the news and when it is damaging to the left, they never post about it. I have also searched for many I knew to be true and they are never found on snopes.

So I think I'm about officially tired of several pretty recent automotive trends, be they styling, gimmicks, etc. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are:
- "fluid" styling (Hyundai and Mercedes comes to mind, and I can't believe those two share ANYTHING except 4 wheels)
- LEDs, halos, any kind of lights which are one step above a PepBoys special
- gaping maw frontends
- 19"+ wheels on anything other than trucks
- overstyling, mainly slats, vents, and intakes, 98% of which don't do anything
I'd vote for the catfish frontends and oversize wheels, I'm sick of every company thinking they need to have a massive grill opening or two. Its especially crappy when you can see the blacked-out section for the crash bar, or flat plastic where there isn't an actual opening. This is chasing a trend, not doing something original or attractive. I've also gotten sick of heavy-ass oversize wheels with rubberbands for tires, they hurt ride quality and make cars look cartoony or like a caricature. The new Boxster S comes standard with 19s, and to me that's ridiculous given that its supposed to be a car that is a basic, fun roadster. I have 18s on my TT and I'm ditching them ASAFP for 17s and more tire, enough of this ****
Also, I tried to add a poll, but vBulletin faked me out with a 5min requirement

Maybe next time the R's will try running with, oh I don't know, maybe a conservative.
fewer debates and more attention to policy, i think.
Sleep Ambience - Crickets, 15 minutesHello Blue... Blue are you there?
Let me help you out.Liberalism at its best with these two presidential candidits Obama: as a teen. Smoking dope and snorting cocaine. Romney may or may not have been involved in cutting some ones hair.Obama: Parents and grandparents were communist. Romney: father was a capitalist business man.Obama: health care. federal and unconstitutional. Romney: state run. and constitutionalObama: abortion. voted for partial birth abortion Romney: only in case of rapeObama: welfare. give it to everyone weather or not they deserve it. Romney: welfare needs reforming Obama: gun control. take em all and educate the people. Romney: believes in the second amendment rightsObama: homosexuality. believes in two men marrying each other. Romney: believes in one man and one woman marriages.Just a few similarities
Quote from: kathyp on April 29, 2013, 06:30:30 PMfewer debates and more attention to policy, i think. Maybe you should have actually watched the debates? They covered plenty of policy. There was Newt and his moon base. Yeah, that would probably only cost about $100 right. :laugh: We're broke people. Perry was going to cut 3 departments but couldn't remember which 3. :laugh: Bachman was just scary. :evil: Herman had his 7 7 7 plan that didn't add up. Ron Paul did have some good ideas, along with his crazy ones. The only one that seemed even remotely fit for the office was Romney; the liberal. 8-) Same thing will happen next time people. The RNC isn't dumb enough to allow some kook like Bachman to wreck an entire election. Romney was clearly your best hope, because he DID come close to Obama, whereas none of those other "candidates" would have even been close. Unfortunately Romney couldn't even win his home state. :laugh:
... .....Now tell us all what it was about Obama's past which made him so, "fit for office" ? Was it the dope smoking? ...the coke snorting? Maybe his extensive voting record in his historic lengthily time in the senate?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the scoop on what's going on with Lufo1138.
I was trying to PM him and got a message saying he wasn't accepting/couldn't accept PMs.
His last activity on TDH was Sep 2012.
I didn't see that he was banned or anything. I was trying to contact him regarding
a painting commission he had expressed interest in.
If anyone has any info, please shoot me a PM. Thanks!

The IITAA requires that all information technology developed, purchased, or provided by the State of Illinois is accessible to individuals with disabilities. In practice, this means that information technology must meet technical standards that are designed to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies and accessibility techniques. The specific technical standards used for the IITAA are posted at:
The IITAA Standards are based on Federal "Section 508" Standards and the Illinois Web Accessibility Standards, which they replace. They were designed to align with existing and proposed Federal standards as closely as possible, and will be updated when the new Section 508 standards are released.
Similar to the Federal "Section 508" standards, the IITAA defines "information technology" to include:
The IITAA applies to all State of Illinois entities, including:
It does not apply to local governments, school districts, community colleges, or private organizations.
The law was effective when it was signed on August 20, 2007, but the State had six months to develop the technical standards and six months to complete the process of incorporating the standards into their procurement and development procedures. As of August 20, 2008, the IITAA Standards apply to all new information technology purchased or developed by the State.
The IITAA's requirements apply to all information technology purchased, developed, or substantially modified by the State after the standards go into effect. The IITAA does not require the State to make previously existing systems accessible unless those systems are substantially modified. (See the IITAA Standards for the definition of "substantially modified.")

My wife purchased a 24/7 9mm pistol before taking her CHL course. She looked at several other guns including and XD, Glock, and a couple of revolvers. She settled on the 24/7 because it fit in her hand better than the others. When she bought it, she went ahead and bought a box of hollow points to keep in it for defense purposes. Even before firing any rounds through it, the JHPs fed without problem and cycled without incident when manually racking the slide. My PT145 did not like JHPs at all when I first got it, so I was definitely surprised and impressed.
A couple of days after purchasing it, we took it out and ran a box of shells through it. It's a sweet shooting little gun, and after getting used to the trigger, we were both hitting the center of the target at about 15 yards. About a week later my wife used it at her CHL course, and she's shot it several more times since then. Out of the 600-ish rounds that have been shot through it so far, there's only been one FTF and she's certain it was because she limp-wristed it. All it took to clear was a little pull on the slide and it seated fully and another pull of the trigger sent the projectile down range.
I know that there are some Taurus bashers out there, but of the two that my wife and I have owned, we've never had any problems with either of them. I'd highly recommend the 24/7 9mm to anyone in the market. Plus the idea of having a 17+1 semi-compact pistol makes me giggle when I think about it.

It depends on which range...I use two.
One is a club range, and I have pictures...uh...somewhere. The other is in our woods behind the house.
I shoot rifle at the club range, and handgun at home.
The club range is still coming together. This club (Sycamore Valley Gun Club) was located in the same place for around 50 years, then got the boot. The club stayed together, to a degree, without a range. After a few years without a range, we bought a piece of property five or six years ago to be the new range. Right now, we have a pretty well established 100 yard rifle range, with target points angling off to 200 and 300 yards. The handgun range is 50 yards, I think.
At home, I shoot into a bank in the woods, and can stretch out 15 yards of clear distance. It isn't fancy, but it sure is handy!
I guess I have another range at home. I still have the 4x8 steel backstop that was in the range I had set-up in the barn at our old place (sure do miss that, sniff, sniff). I have it sitting where our backyard meets the edge of the woods. It's 58 yards from the deck, and I shoot at a couple of Newbold swinging targets placed in front of it with my suppressed Ruger 77-22.

Lord Huron
spotlight Show • Ben Schneider leads Lord Huron, a Los Angeles folk band with literary, detail-oriented songs inspired by the landscape and, not least, Lake Huron, on whose shores Schneider daydreamed during his Michigan childhood. The City of Angels isn't angelic to Schneider, who loves nothing more than to roam the country and Europe, painting the same sights he sings about. "I am more of a rural type of guy," he said in a phone interview. At least he has his friends on the road with him as they support Lord Huron's new album, "Lonesome Dreams." "Two of the guys, we had our first band in middle school," Schneider said. "At one point, we were playing ska-reggae." Night Moves is also on the bill.

Billy Joe Shaver
spotlight Show • "I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver / And I'm reading James Joyce / Some people they tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice." These lyrics are from Bob Dylan's song "I Feel a Change Comin' On," which means Shaver has joined the ranks of The Jack of Hearts, St. Augustine, The Blind Commissioner and Einstein (disguised as Robin Hood), all of whom have been immortalized in a Dylan song. Shaver's songs became country standards during the 1970s and have been covered by Elvis Presley, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and many others. As for being name-checked by Dylan, Shaver, 73, called it "sweet" and said, "I don't know what caused him to do it." He added: "I've never met Bob Dylan. He's the best. I hope to hear from him and tell him, 'Howdy.' "

The Crystal Method
spotlight Show • The Crystal Method Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland is one of the most influential American electronic dance music acts. In a phone interview, Kirkland said Utah has a very special place in his heart. "I got my fake ID in St. George back in the day," he said. On a more serious note, he added that an early Utah show marked "the first time we ever played [1996 single] 'Keep Hope Alive.' The crowd was really into it and that was when we knew he had a great track." Most of the Las Vegas-based duo's early output was recorded in what has become known as The Bomb Shelter. "It was the combination of a space-shuttle cockpit, a million-dollar studio and a broom closet," Kirkland said. "It was functional, dirty and hot, as we lacked air conditioning, but it was all we needed to create three records that we are really proud of." A new album, "Sling the Decks," is in the works, and Kirkland said the music is "easy on the ears and it's good in bed."

I am making a mini fett. My son wants to troop with me. I will be posting pics soon. This is a budget fett so I do not want to break the bank so I will be scratch building when possible.
That is turning out soooo great!
Have you thought about something like this....:lol
(just could not help myself ;) )
Do people really make stuff in that size for 6 year olds? i do not really see much on e bay for that but the again if I found everything I wanted on the Bay .. I wouldn't be here would I?
Soft parts have to be custom made - won't find them on eBay typically. I had SGB make the soft parts for my 10 year old son, but he is no longer doing those. Also WOF has armor templates, but looks like you have that already.
WOOHOO LadySewforus You Rock! the armor is adhereing to the vest as we speak. It was awesome to get off duty and find find the package at my door. All the parts were exactly the right size. Also replaced my scratch built Helmet with a rubies. I hope to get some pics soon. Now I need to find a cape and wookie braids and the dreaded jet pack.
Cant wait to see a pic!!
got a few progress pic and a Huge thanks to Cruzer and LadySewForus for their huge contributions. looks like I need to seal up the guants a little better. Pad the pouches a little better as well.
oops sorry
actually he's mine! if people would not post from my computer Sith chick. The above pic were posted by me. Without realizing someone in my house had commandeered my computer for own Dark purposes. I posted them think it was MY account online not sith chicks. I can't wait to get the knee armor done and I am planning on using craft foam ( and goop thank wickedbeard) to mold the shoes. Does anyone else have a little fett already?
Are there any mini jet pack templates or designs?
How about knees has anyone made these what do you suggest?
Hey Sarg, Hey Chick,
Thanks it's all you guys and Sarge
A couple of quick suggestions...
You can use a piano hinge with the inner rod removed to lock that gaunt down. Just use a small section and then create an L shaped insert (like an allen wrench) and insert it to keep it together. You can also use a piece of craft foam with velcro on the inside of the gaunt, I did something similar for my son.
I made the knees for my son's suit out of sintra. I think they turned out really well. Let me see if I can fin a pic for ya.
Suit is looking good so far sarge!
very cool thanks. Those are great Ideas. I was very puzzled about how to keep the guants closed on his little forearms. gonna use plant ceiling hooks ( the part that goes into the ceiling.... to keep the hose in the sleeves.
Next project.....Jet Pack!!
Sgt. Skirata, I just saw your forum since you were asking for the mini-buckets.
Very kewl! :cheers
Isn't that jet pack gonna be a little heavy for the wee guy? :D
I got 3 jet pack chasis done.They are light enough to hold on with velcro ( generous amounts). I am just looking for a decent shape for the mini missle that would be light???? I know I went overboard but I had A LOT of Extra parts and paint after the first one.:jet pack
also looking for inexpensive rifle maybe the pre pro. Seems small enough yet acurate enough to be usable as he gets bigger and his suit takes on the more large version.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Oct 9, 2009.
Anthony Randolph with 6 blocks in the 1st Q vs Wiz... ... ... ... ... :Cry:
Not only do I still have Blake Griffin out for another three weeks, but now I find out that my second leading three pt threat in Paul Pierce will be out for two weeks... Just wondering if I can hold on to my 4th place overall spot for the next couple of weeks..... Just wondering..how are you all with Pistons players doing fantasy stats wise?? Can't imagine any of them doing well the past week...
I'm wondering if there will be enough season left once my guys start playing again to climb out of the hole into which I am rapidly falling.
I don't miss fantasy basketball in the least. I kind of miss football so I'll switch that out with hockey next year. But basketball...not so much. Not sure why...
I really don't like carrying injured players on my roster, but I would have liked to jump on Tyrus Thomas before someone else did. But in this league, you have to be willing to pick up an injured guy a week or two before they are due back. It's tough. But the competition level is why I enjoy playing in this league. I am happy with my Yi pickup though. Now if only he'd stop taking shots away from Lopez. Although, they should help each in other the long run I hope. More floor spacing from Yi, less double-teams for Lopez...
You wish. Lopez and Yi are like Hamilton and Gordon. Getting in each others way and never going with the hot hand. Injured players are a gamblers paradise. Maybe, just maybe...
I am carrying Pierce, Artest and Griffin on my injured list this week and part of last week and barely holding on. (to fourth place overall) But at least I am doing better than the Pistons when they had three of their stars on the shelf. Hopefully all three will be back by the end of next week and then......LOOK OUT!!
The last couple of weeks I have been beating up on these injured battered teams. Hopefully I can build a nice lead. You never know what may happen down the road I may need that cushion.
That was a great matchup last week Winless. It came down to the last day with 5 cats still up for grabs. Very happy with the 6-3 victory. Your team has some firepower.
Thanks. You got the best of me. I am kicking myself that I didn't hit the submit button on my line up for Monday and left some points on the bench. It would not have mattered much anyway. You have a very good team as well. I am going to have to put my GM hat on and make some moves. LOL
Three of the four injured Sprockets have made it back this week. Watch out MTP. Now if someone would just say how Kevin Martin's MRI went yesterday. He could be days away from playing again.
Kings Blog and Q&A: Martin cleared to play, says his return "should be real quick."
Locstah's Lamb Skins have been STRUGGLING with injuries so far this year. Gasol is killing me and not only that but now Garnett's out for up to two weeks and Sheed's out for a couple of games at least. Hoping things go my way soon. If it weren't for the injury bug I'd probably be in 8th place right now instead of 9th. lol
What happened to Motown?
Wherever he is, he's setting his lineups. Our matchup is pretty close so far... 0.12 diff in free throw shooting 1 diff in threes 4 diff in points 1 diff in boards
I see him on facebook everyday...
I'm alive bro. Just been busy building my comedy empire. Opening up 5 clubs throughout the state doesn't afford me a lot of time for a lot, but I make time to come through the forum when I can and update my FB account on my phone while on the go. Good luck Sprockets. I know you want revenge this week, but I can't let you get it. Much more competitive this time around but it still won't be enough. And Roscoe, the alternative answer to your question is... I'm in 2nd place with Webz in my sights hoping to catch some ground this week going to into our second matchup. I'm determined to provide him with his second loss of the season.
Just wait until KMart comes back tonight and drops 63, 23, and 15…
FGA, Points, TO?

Web Hosting Technology
When you want to buy or create a website, one of the most fundamental things you have to think about is the web hosting.
Many people are not aware of this, and somehow think that a website is just "there", but without the technology behind website hosting, you do not have much of a chance!
So in this blog posts I am going to take a look at some of the technologies behind web hosting and some of the better companies on the market.
Website Hosting Technologies
When I walking about website hosting, what I am basically talking about are servers.
If you don't know what servers are, then you might want to read the definition here on wikipedia.
But to give you a quick summary, what a server is is basically a very powerful computer that waits for "requests" from another computer and then "serves" a response.
Which means that if you go to a website, your request for that site is sent to the server, then the server hands you back the page (images, video, html code etc).
What goes on in the background is actually quite complex but that is the main gist of it.
Some Of the Best Website Hosting Companies
While we are on the subject, lets just quickly cover some of the better hosting companies out there in case you just want a quick answer on this question.
There are many cheap hosting companies out there nowadays and you have to be careful which one you choose. That is for sure.
But if you go for companies like BlueHost or HostGator, then they are also cheap but reasonably reliable. In fact both of these companies are actually owned by the same company now anyway.
If you want to go for something a little more premium, a great service that I recently read a great blog post on, is Siteground. If you want to read a Siteground Review, then this review will give you a complete picture on why they are better than many of the others I mentioned above.
The next level up is something like WPEngine (if you are going for WordPress hosting). They offer fully managed and configured servers that aim to be faster, safer and less work for the person who owns the website.
Inside the Web Hosting Technology
Let's jump inside some of the technology that goes into web hosting to give you a better idea of what is going on.
The Servers
The backbone of any web hosting company is it's servers. And when you talk about servers, one of the biggest things in terms of power is the chips.
Currently Intel is one of the most influential suppliers of chips for the server industry and their Xeon series of chips is at the forefront of parallel processing which gives you more bang for your buck.
Another area of the server that is very important is the disk. Previously disks were always moving, but the more modern disks are solely made of chips or more technically – Solid State Drives.
Solid State Drives are a lot faster and more reliable, but also more expensive. So they are slowly making an impact into the server industry but only on the more premium models for now.
In fact Google still uses cheap disks in their servers because they have a great system in place to control them and make sure they do not lose data even if one disk fails.
The Software
Just having a server is not enough when it comes to website hosting. What you really need to get things going is the software on top.
When you talk about software and operating systems you normally think about Windows or Mac. But when it comes to servers it is more often Windows vs Linux (the open source, free software).
Most powerful and reliable servers use Linux, or a flavor of it these days. It is very powerful, robust and reliable. And a lot cheaper than Windows.
This is just the basis for the server of course, and there is more software placed on top of that to run all of the programs and websites that are built.
More often than not WordPress is used for creating blogs and websites.
But the basis of all of the maintenance that customers do on their sites is usually done with something like cPanel.
Quick Overview
So when it comes to website hosting and technology, things can get pretty complex.
But if you choose the right hosting company with the best kinds of servers and software you are usually quite safe!

Progress in reconstructing climate in recent millennia
What makes science different from politics?
That's not the start of a joke, but it is a good jumping off point for a discussion of the latest publication on paleo-reconstructions of the last couple of millennia. As has been relatively widely reported, Mike Mann and colleagues (including Ray Bradley and Malcolm Hughes) have a new paper out in PNAS with an update of their previous work. And this is where the question posed above comes in: the difference is that with time scientists can actually make progress on problems, they don't just get stuck in an endless back and forth of the same talking points.
We discussed what would be required in an update of these millennial reconstructions a few months back and the main principles remain true now. You need proxies that are a) well-dated, b) have some fidelity to a climate variable of interest, c) have been calibrated to those variable(s), d) that are then composited together somehow, and e) that the composite has been validated against the instrumental record.
The number of well-dated proxies used in the latest paper is significantly greater than what was available a decade ago: 1209 back to 1800; 460 back to 1600; 59 back to 1000 AD; 36 back to 500 AD and 19 back to 1 BC (all data and code is available here). This is compared with 400 or so in MBH99, of which only 14 went back to 1000 AD. The increase in data availability is a pretty remarkable testament to the increased attention that the paleo-community has started to pay to the recent past – in part, no doubt, because of the higher profile this kind of reconstruction has achieved. The individual data-gatherers involved should be applauded by all.
The increase in proxy records allows a whole bunch of new things to be done. First off, the importance of tree rings can be tested more robustly. With the original MBH98 proxies, there was only enough other data to go back to 1760 if you left out the tree rings. The match was pretty good over multi-decadal periods, but the interannual variability was much larger without tree-rings. Now though, the Northern hemisphere land temperature reconstructions without tree rings can go back to 1500 AD or 1000 AD depending on which of two methodologies are used. For the NH land and ocean target, it's even possible to get a coherent non-tree ring reconstruction back to 700 AD! As before, there are some differences (notably in the 17th Century where the tree rings indicate colder temperatures), but the recent warming is anomalous regardless.
Secondly, you can screen records and pick targets more finely: do you want only records that match local temperatures? Done. You want to get a handle on global and southern hemisphere means as well as the northern hemisphere? Done. Other screens could easily be implemented.
The two methodologies used themselves span the range of different approaches that people have used. 'Composite and scale' (CPS) is perhaps the simplest method – it is basically an average of all the temperature proxies scaled to the target time series. The other method is denoted 'Error in variables' (EIV) in this paper, but is really a simplified application of the RegEM climate field reconstruction method used in a couple of more recent papers. It is essentially a fancy multiple regression to the target time series that can incorporate non-local proxies as well. The point of using two methods is to demonstrate what is, and what is not, robust, and to give an idea of what the structural uncertainty in these estimates is – something not easily calculated using standard statistics. That uncertainty is clearly larger as you go back in time, and larger still for the southern hemisphere.
Other improvements over previous work are that more proxy data sets go past 1980, and so calibration up to 1995 is possible. That allows more of the recent trends to feed into the calibration and highlights the so-called divergence problem in some (but not all) recent tree-ring records. That divergence is significantly lessened without tree-rings or using the EIV method.

Nashua's Bridge Street project puts people first
By SIMÓN RÍOS
Union Leader Correspondent | January 04. 2013 10:41PM
Kyle Bouley, 27, left, clears snow at the David Deane Skateboard Park in Nashua. The park will be relocated after construction on the Bridge Street development begins later this year. (SIMÓN RÍOS/Union Leader Correspondent)
During 2012, dozens of community members joined Visualize Nashua, a grassroots arm of the developer Renaissance Downtowns. Using what the company terms "crowdsourced placemaking," the team churned through 33 ideas for developing the 26-acre site before voting on the top 10.
Participants navigated the Visualize webpage to post original ideas, or "like" the ideas of others. In November, the 10 ideas that got the most likes were sent in for a feasibility study by Pollock Land Planning, a landscape design firm in Bedford.
Ideas for the promenade included a bike path, information signs, light fixtures, water-play features and a playground/workout area.
Eric Buck, chief landscape architect at Pollock, presented his report to a group of 20 at Renaissance's downtown office Thursday night, discussing the costs, lifecycles and possible options.
Buck said the natural playground allows for cognitive learning. "The difference between a natural play-scape and a standard play area is that it uses an accommodation of nature - things like rocks, logs, plants and other things - to create more interpretative play spaces as opposed to, 'This is a swing set, or this is a jungle gym, or this is monkey bars.'"
The report also contained options for bike path materials, display panels and a splash pad - an area for water play with no pooling water, thus eliminating the need for lifeguards, with offerings from a semicircular pipe shower to a mushroom shower to a tree shower. Buck noted that Derry had drawn big crowds with its splash pad at the Humphrey Road playground.
Jim Vayo runs Renaissance Downtowns' Nashua operation. He talked about the importance of placing signs along the river way. "This would explain the significance of the habitat along the water there, and the historical significance of the site in the region," he said. "Henry David Thoreau wrote about the river coming up in the confluence of the Nashua and Merrimack River. And there's a lot of significance to the site within the industrial era of this nation."
Vayo, who is drafting a site plan, said that, where developers often guess what people will like, Visualize Nashua is creating ideas - including the natural play-space and the riverside signage - that wouldn't have been considered otherwise.
"This is very much is driven by the community," he said, "and I think the feasibility of a lot of these things is very high."
In 2009, Long Island-based Renaissance Downtowns won a city contract to develop the 26-acre Bridge Street plot, which is half city-owned and half private, giving Renaissance the exclusive option to buy the land. Renaissance opened a downtown office in mid-2011, which serves as a meeting space for Visualize Nashua.
The Bridge Street project is three-tiered, with residential and retail features in addition to a public amenity, which is taking the form of the waterfront promenade. The company's development criteria is that it has to be good for the public and the environment, as well as profitable for builders.
Though community members are the early decision-makers, Renaissance will OK the proposals before submission to the city for final approval.
The financing of the promenade is yet to be determined, but it would be divided between Renaissance and the city, which owns the land along the water.
Visualize members also voted on items contained in a community building that would offer a space for events such as concerts and picnics. The building plan is broken into two elements - an upper-floor restaurant and a community-use space on the first floor.
Renaissance hopes to break ground in September. Vayo said the project could take from one to three years.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm sending you a Private message.
Hi DutchKarin,
Viggo is in Encino, CA (Los Angeles County). We've explored rescues but they really aren't very easy to get into. Many do not accept owner surrenders so you can see why I'm desperate to find somewhere we can get help as he means a ton to us and we want to do this in the right was as best as possible.
Viggo needs a standard walk to help him get his energy out. I know GS's are working dogs and my ex doesn't walk him and play with him as often as he used to. I think Viggo gets depressed sometimes and this may be part of the reason. He also gets spurts of energy and loves to play (not bad things at all) but he'd probably be happier and more relaxed if he had routine walks. He has a little anxiety and doesn't like loud noises. During the 4th of July he shivers when he hears the fireworks and paces around.
Other than that he really doesn't have too many issues. He doesn't mind baths, or being brushed. His appetite can be finicky at times and he is distracted easily. We never gave/give him junk food. He eats Wellness dry kibble and an occasional piece of apple or hard boiled egg from time to time.
|Where are you located and can you work with any GSD specific rescue organizations in your area. If you post location, maybe some folks can give you specific rescue organizations in the area.
He's tried to hold on to him but it's coming to a head...and it's not a fun decision to have to make.
I figured I'd help out and look for other options as we don't just want to find some random home. If I get some opportunity via this forum then I'll have him take over the conversations. Just trying to help.
I know Viggo's temperament very well. He's very gentle (always has been), obedient and has a wonderful loving energy. He works very well with small dogs but not so much with large ones. He can get leash anxiety if walking and a large do passes. I think if he had proper training he'd learn to handle it better because he didn't always have this issue.
Viggo is nearly 7 years old. I have a pic I posted on the photo forum. I'm new to this so let me know if you don't see it. I get more as well. He's a pretty long-hair GS but we think he's mixed with something else or perhaps some sort of Belgian Shepherd.
Happy to answer any and all questions. I kept my comment brief on purpose. Here's the situation... My ex-husband and I rescued the dog about 4 years ago when we were still together. We divorced a few years ago and he kept Viggo since his schedule was more accommodating than mine as I frequently travel for work. As you know dogs need time and attention and exercise; something I couldn't provide on my own.
The last leg of our relationship is the selling of our house and that will drive the ex to moving into an apartment. He's been looking for places to live but the dog type and weight provide hurdles in finding an apartment complex that allows for his kind. I know it sounds silly but in Los Angeles that's how it works. To add to this, his hours of work are from noon to late night so he doesn't have much time to tend to Viggo.
|Most importantly, location.
Well, there are an awful lot of questions about your post:
1. Why are you posting, and not your X, as it seems that your X would be the one that would need to figure out what to do with the dog if it is his dog. I think anyone that agrees to help in any phase of rehoming the dog would need to get the information from the dog's owner as to the behavior/problems, etc.
2. When you say that the dog is an amazing dog, can you elaborate on that?
3. What time and attention does the dog need and how is he displaying that he needs it?
4. How old is the dog? Do you have pictures?
Newbie that is looking for help
New to the forum and hoping to get some perspective and help as to how to find my ex's GS a new and amazing home. Very tough decision but due to certain circumstances, we need to find "Viggo" a new home. He's an amazing dog and he needs a family that has time to give him the attention he needs.

This website is a must for those with ancestors who worked the canals. The site includes the National Waterways Museum, Gloucester Waterways Museum and the Canal Museum, in Northamptonshire. The archives of the trust hold a host of material concerning the history of canals & inland waterways, include early canal companies records, boat-building plans, working records, accounts, letters and photographs.
Remember that if you have family who were canal folk then search along the canal for churches were children may have been christened, family members buried and where marriages might have taken place. Canal people weren't attached to a static parish, but it is known that some families did favour certain churches along the canal route.

Local professor earns honor from students Sin-Yi Ko, Corning Community College professor of American Sign Language (ASL), earned the 2014 Advisor of the Year Award at a recent Advisor Recognition Reception hosted by the Student Association Executive Board. Ko, who serves as the advisor for the American Sign Language Club, received a plaque at the luncheon, where all student club advisors were thanked for their dedication.
Corning Community College (CCC) has more than 20 active student clubs and organizations that allow students to pursue extra- and co-curricular interests. Each club is led by a faculty and/or staff advisor who volunteers for the position.
"Sin-Yi has not missed a club meeting and never fails to encourage the club to use our Sign Language, even when it might take 10 times longer than a deaf person would sign," said CCC student and club member Mikaela Hinterberger. "Although many of the club members, including myself, were timid about their limited knowledge of ASL, Sin-Yi's outgoing nature has helped us all to be bold in how we sign and to not be afraid to mess up. Because of the kind and humorous way she gives constructive feedback, she's helped me as I struggled to master this new language."
Hinterberger attributes much of her success to Ko and believes Ko is more than a club advisor and a teacher: "She has become a friend. She genuinely cares for each person with whom she comes in contact and is always available when I need advice or help with anything."

I am a new teacher, and I am confused as to how to proceed with students that have scored a certain level on my tests. It may be a stupid question, but if say they have scored ''pre-intermediate'', do I use a ''pre-intermediate'' textbook with them, or do we go on to the next level and use an intermediate one?
Many thanks colleagues!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Clunks are usually a sign of worn bushings, planetary gearsets, and thrust washers. Take a look up and around the case to make sure the transission bellhousing is not cracked, driveline U-joints and slop in the rearend can cause or attribute to the probelm. It does not have to not be working to be worn out. Sounds like you or you could hire someone to go through it for you and replace the hard parts and/or replace bushings and thrust washers. But if I were you I would check all the components outside that you can first. Like engine/transmission mount/s, driveline u joints and balance, rearend for worn bearings, and just a good general look on the vehicle, get it on a lift and start moving stuff around. If it is questionable, change it, if it moves and makes noise it needs replacing anyway so you are not out anything.

Quote from: Moots on May 05, 2013, 10:56:45 PMI think it's just a matter of being fully cured. Nope. Sounds like somebody doesn't have much experience with paint. :shock:Bee Curious, the real problem is a technical paint term called "blocking". The only way to really prevent this problem is with oil based enamel. Over time the blocking problems with your latex finish will subside to some degree, but will probably never go away. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/interior-painting-problems-paint-blocking-or-sticking-causes

Hey Moots Its Fart Smeller and Smart Feller. Sorry carry on. This is getting good
I guess if you don't know beans about paint, you can always join a spelling bee ;)
Bee Curious I dont paint the top or bottom edges. The bee's will pretty much seal these edges.

Fell in love with this one. Any recommendations on an iwb holster,
1911 Traditional Compact Stainless
Nice pistol, I have been using a Kirkpatrick Leathers TXC IWB holster this summer with a Colt Combat Commander 1911 and so far it has work well. It works for me but remember everybody is different so it might not be comfortable for you.
MacDaniels II by Andrews. Andrews Custom Leather
I been using one for about 8yrs now and it's still doing a fine job...:smt033
I wearing a Galco N3 for my Wilson X-Tac right now, it's great and very comfortable.
thanks everyone, i will be google searching the above mentioned holsters
thanks from rochester,ny. any locals ought to check out beikirch's gun shop they are a main dist of sig sauer guns
Congrats on the TCS. I've had mine for a couple of months and I just fall in love with that thing all over again every time it goes to the range.
Congrats on the TCS. I've had mine for a couple of months and I just fall in love with that thing all over again every time it goes to the range.
I'm developing my "box full" of holsters for it. Right now I seem to be happiest with a cheap Blackhawk IWB.
I am purchasing a SIG P220 R on November 1, 2012 and have selected to go with the Crossbreed Supertuck Holster. It allows you to conceal your weapon and at the same time, tuck your shirt in and look neat when dressed. That was a large seller for me being a retired Marine and still dress as I did when I was on active duty.
Thanks for all the input on holsters,,fired the gun for the first time ,about 70 rounds , no problems. Also shot my pocket glock 27 carried without chambered round, my preference or should I say common sense,lol.
I have another question ,not sure if I should start a new thread but here it is:smt024
I need to purchase some more magazines for the sig 1911, I have been reading about the wilson's, I had no problems with the two sig mags that came with the gun.Should i purchase the sig mags or are the wilson's much better,, and will they fit my compact sig 1911. the sig mags that came with the gun have flat base plates. I have been looking at some wilson mags with plastic base plates that are not quite as flat..does any one know if they would be compatible. thanks :smt1099
Take a look at the folowers on the factory mags. THAT is what you want. IMHO I have a couple of the Wilsons..ox something or other...they are not reliable on the last round slide lock for me. Everything else with them is fine but not the lock issue.
I bought 4 from this guy: Joe's 1911 Mag Mania! that had the Sig type follower and they are (so far ) 100%
Of the two Sig and 4 aftermarket mags, they ALL are 100%.
ANY mag for an officer frame should fit. The baseplate just makes it easier to seat a mag which, in a competition or SHTF situation can be a pretty significant help. If I felt the need to carry a relaod, it would be an extended base plate. Although, if I really felt the need to have a reload...I'd probably just stay home.

Mikel Arteta believes that last week's win over AC Milan gave an important boost to Arsenal's image.
The Spaniard, who was unable to play after sustaining a head injury in the game against Liverpool, told the Official Matchday Programme that the manner of the 3-0 Champions League win - and of several others recently - suggests that Arsenal are growing in confidence at a crucial time.
"At least we changed our image a bit, as a club and as individual players," said Arteta.
"We needed that because we produced a really disappointing performance in Milan. Now we've had three really good performances against top teams [Tottenham, Liverpool and Milan], winning them all and coming back well when under a lot of pressure. It shows that the team has a lot of character and never gives up."
Arsenal have scored 15 goals in their last three home games, suggesting that they've rediscovered their free-scoring edge of previous seasons.
"I think everyone's getting more confident, trying more things - and as the manager would say, we're playing 'without the handbrake' and are not scared to lose," explained Arteta.
"When you're scared to lose you never give 100 per cent of your qualities, but we're looking more fluent offensively now and hopefully we now have three interesting months ahead – let's see what we can do."
The 5-2 win over Spurs was a prime example of that fluency and Mikel was singled out by captain Robin van Persie after that game as a catalyst for Arsenal's comeback. He says that upping the pressure on the visitors was key to the floodgates opening.
"The supporters had to see a reaction from us, because being 2-0 down at home against Spurs was not a good situation at all," he said.
"We had to take a gamble and really pressurise them, and in doing that we got the crowd behind us too. As soon as we started closing them down intensely, winning some balls and stepping up the pressure then you saw what happened – it went to 2-1, then 2-2, and Spurs knew that they were going to lose the game after that. You could see it in their faces and their energy levels.
"You could feel that we were up for it and that they didn't know what to do with what was coming to them. In the end, it was definitely one of the nicest games I have ever played in."

Gingerbread houses are a staple in Christmas baking and decorating.
The house does not always have to be made out of gingerbread though. They also can be built with graham crackers, a trick I learned in a home economics food class, back in the day.
First thing you need in making the house is construction materials. Graham crackers should be first on your list and next is a variety of candies to decorate the house. The candy part can be whatever you like. Finding colorful candies in different shapes makes a pretty house. Christmas colors can work, too.
I used gum drops, peppermints, candy canes, Mike and Ikes and Twizzlers.
Before constructing the house, I made a candy tray to put it on. This is my new favorite trick.
On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, arrange peppermints in the shape and size of the tray you want to create. Bake in the oven for about eight minutes. When you take it out of the oven, it will be a solid sheet of candy. Let it cool before using.
Next, you have to make "caulking" to keep everything in place on the house. For this I made royal icing because it holds well and dries hard, making the gingerbread house stay together for a while.
Then you start constructing the house in any shape you desire. When I do it, I don't just form the outside walls but I also put supporting walls on the inside so I know a second layer or roof will stay on well.
After putting the walls together, using the icing to connect the pieces, it's time to decorate.
Decorating is only limited by your own imagination and creativity. It's also the part of the process children can help with the most. They could grow frustrated with the building process if the walls start falling. But with decorating, they can go wild.
To attach candy to the house, use the royal icing as glue. As the icing hardens, the candy pieces stay put.
You also can sneak a few pieces of candy to taste while you're putting the house together. Yum, Mike and Ikes are my favorite.
For an added touch, use a candy cane tree, which I found at the grocery story for $1, to create a bit of landscaping.
It takes a little while to construct, but is a fun Christmas activity for the family.
It's also pretty inexpensive. All the materials together cost less than $10 and, really, there's enough to make a couple houses if you want.
Mint Serving Tray
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place parchment paper on cookie sheet.
Arrange mints in any design you wish on top of the parchment paper on a cookie sheet, allowing extra room on the sides.
Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes.
Take out and allow to cool on cookie sheet (cools in approximately 5 minutes).
Carefully remove parchment paper from bottom because the tray is fragile and breaks easily.
SOURCE: www.tuttobellablog.com
1 pound sifted confectioners' sugar or more as needed
1/2 cup egg whites (3 large egg whites)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine. Scrape down sides. Turn the mixer to high and beat until thick and very white. The mixture will hold a peak. This should take at least 7-10 minutes.
When finished, cover with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the icing so a crust doesn't form. Royal icing dries out quickly, so make sure it is covered all the time, otherwise there will be lumps that won't pass through an icing tip.
If you want something other than white, royal icing may be tinted by using a small amount of paste food color. For 1/4 cup tinted icing, dip the tip of a toothpick into desired color, then into the icing and stir well. Repeat until desired color is achieved. For strong colors, such as red, royal blue and dark purple, use 1/8 teaspoon color to 1/4 cup icing.

Fox "Straight News" Ignores Key Facts Of Obama's Immigration Record
Fox's flagship "straight news" program Special Report helped advance the narrative [1] that President Obama is weak on border security, ignoring that deportations of undocumented immigrants have increased under Obama, and that the number of border patrol agents and funding for border security efforts have also increased.
Reporting on Prince William County's controversial immigration ordinance [2], Special Report host Bret Baier said that whereas "President Obama is appealing to the Hispanic community with his temporary amnesty program, Mitt Romney has been focusing on border security and workplace enforcement."
Baier's reporting contributes to the false impression that Obama is weak on border security. In fact, the opposite is true.
During Obama's three years in office, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported more than 1.1 million undocumented immigrants. The annual average number of deportations under Obama is "double [3] the annual average during President George W. Bush's first term and 30 percent higher than the average when he left office," according to ABC News. The removal of undocumented immigrants has steadily increased [4] since Obama took office.
In addition, deportations of undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions have increased 89 percent [5] since 2008.
A USA Today analysis [7] noted that on average, U.S. border cities were statistically safer than other cities in their states, in part due to increased money and agents to the southwestern border. Since 2004, the number of "boots on the ground" along the Southwest border has risen by almost 85 percent [8].
Moreover, under Obama, seizures of drugs and weapons along the southwestern border have significantly increased [9].

That's so sweet............
I like to give greeting card which expresses your feelings and your deep love.
And other gifts depend on his likes.
Thanks for asking, like you I'm also looking for a certain gift to my DH. What comes to my mind is a wrist watch simply because it pertains to a time, and it only shows that my love for him knows no time, no boundaries and no limit.
So what can you say about it? Any suggestions are very much

My husband likes cuddly animals, especially retro ones - he absolutely adored the MrBen soft toy I bought him.
If he was into any shows or movies, you could get him something to do with that.
Best wishes,
I will suggest you giving red rose to your boyfriend in valentine day.


text: Re: R.E.S.P.E.C.T And don't think players don't notice that loyalty, too. When you treat your players like human beings worthy of respect and being rewarded for their work, free agents are more likely to sign with you. Make no mistake here - Dumars is the biggest reason free agents will look at Detroit, and its because of the way he treats his players. Some might say they are coddled, but this is a player's league, and they're the breadwinners. He simply knows that better than many other GMs.

Nobel laureate, Al Gore, accused the United States of blocking progress at the UN climate conference. He urged delegates to take strong measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases which are a major source of greenhouse gases. He bluntly told the audience, "My own country, the United States, is principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali." Kristen Hellmer, a member of the american delegation responded with "the U.S. is being open and working very constructively with other countries that are here. We are rolling our sleeves up and really working to come up with a global post-2012 framework." The United States, Japan and several other nations are refusing to accept the language in a draft document that seeks a 25%-40% reduction in emissions by 2020. European nations are threatening to boycott a Bush climate meeting next month in Washington unless the United States compromises on its negative stand for compulsory and specific goals for reduction of emissions.
Al Gore said the right thing by urging nations to reach an agreement with or without the approval of the Bush government. He assured delegates that "over the next two years, the United States is going to be somewhere it is not now" in an apparent reference to his hope a new Democratic president would be more receptive to action on global warming. The United States is the world's leading emitter of greenhouse gases and the world is growing weary of Bush obstruction of the movement towards controlling global warming. Undoubtedly, Rush Limbaugh and other right wing commentators will blast Al Gore for "insulting America" and taking the side of "foreigners." There are no foreigners when it comes to global warming, we are all inhabitants of the same planet and what is done by one nation impacts all. This is something the ignorant people in the Bush administration fail to grasp even as they censor scientific reports which contradict official policies that all is well in the world. Al Gore spoke not merely as an American patriot, but as a human patriot.
