Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Apr 2, 2014.
Pick up only.
Actually no...I'd like a ruling on this by PF
I hope you're not serious.
The reason I'm not crazy about it is that Europeans really do use food nicknames as insults against other nationalities. For instance, Germans call Italians "Spaghetti". Not in a "just for fun" way. There are other examples that I can't remember.
Jell-O guy
Then it lends itself to call Darth Matzo guy, and LaDre then becomes Popeye's Chicken Guy. I just don't like this style of referencing people, but if you OK this then...I'll get to thinking.
We have always had a double standard when it comes to going after players, vs. other forum members. The reason why we are here is to discuss the Pistons and the NBA. Everyone is welcome to criticize the actors in that domain. What we are not here for is member on member nonsense. I really don't like the "if you ok this ..." stuff. It's childish. I don't want to have to make a ruling every time someone comes up with a nickname for a player. I don't want to tell people what they can and cannot say on this forum about the team and players on a case by case basis. I don't like political correctness, so I advise people to avoid saying anything awkward in the first place. We allow Bucket of Turd. We allow Charlie Garbage. Where do we draw the line? Do I have to seek out and define and explain mal-intent when it comes to naming? Who decides, me? A council? A poll? How ridiculous do we want to make this? Do I have to ask the originator of every nickname to explain why they gave that nickname, and then judge it? Do I have to censor out nicknames that migrate over from other Pistons' fan sites after determining they are inappropriate? How much work exactly do you want me to create for myself? I think Pizza Guy is a horrible name, it has some pathetic undertone of nationality/race to it that is lame, the name itself is absolute crap considering the name does nothing to define or explain anything about the player, good or bad, exaggerated or stated plainly. You're asking me to start actively censoring and editing on this forum, and you should think twice before asking me to embark down that road, because I can promise you, it will destroy PF.com. As always, I reserve the right to kick anyone, at any time, for any reason, with no explanation. So, if someone thinks they can be ~edgy~ to test me, go for it. We've got a good thing going here people, let's not screw it up.
I've always appreciated this forum and the effort you put behind it. I'd like to think that I can disagree with you at times. When you tire of me...just send me on my way. I'll be just fine. there's gotta be an Eagle's thread I can join.
This thread was just brought to my attention. You guys really need to chill. This is getting ugly and the repercussions could be not good. . My advice is to please not say anything more on this topic.. If you're wise you won't even return to this thread. Just move on and catch your breath.
And you want a "ruling" on it. Right? It's not complaining. You're complaining, and then making implicit threats that you're going to cook up offensive names if your issue isn't recognized. I don't want to ban anyone but I get really tired of people trying to aggravate me to prove a point. I have zero tolerance for that. If I decide Pizza Guy is an issue, do I need to ban people for using it? Or do you want me to edit every single post? Don't run from answering this clearly and definitively. You want something done, then spell out clearly what that is. You want this to be my problem, then tell me how YOU expect me to resolve it.
No, I'd like to get to the bottom of Nemo's issue. He brought this up, let's resolve it.
Everyone should know when they cross the line. We aren't puppies and Roscoe/other mods shouldn't be expected to smack us when we are bad or cuddle us when we are hurt. If you are going to make remarks which cross racial/ethnic/religious boundaries, do some god damn due diligence pick your words. It's really that simple. I don't really have a problem with stereotypes/religion bashing/silly names because the vast majority of it is innocent. It's born out of playfulness and not spite. But you have to define that through the tone of your writing, otherwise you just look like a tool. The earlier example was ambiguous at best. Pizza Guy is not. We aren't calling him Pizza guy because we hate Italians. Same with bucket of turd. I don't dislike him because he has alopecia. I just think he plays basketbal like a sack of s***
The best way to avoid trouble is to use insulting words the person doesn't understand. If you're insulting a simpleton like Laimbeer you can use any word with more than one syllable. But for most people with over a 3rd grade education you need to be more creative using words like jementous, sluberdigullion, helminth, excerebrose, cacafuego, and poltroon. Those all fit Laimbeer pretty well too but why waste it on him when you can just as easily confuse him with "dum dum". He gets really confused with the last half of that word. Well, hopefully this helps...
I just wanted your opinion. Didn't need you to make a ruling. You've given your thoughts on the issue. You don't like the use of the phrase. That's all I needed to hear.
Thanks for saying all those nice things about me, Drath. You are a true fiend.
I apologize if this is out of line, but I think a thread where we ask people why they came up with a particular nickname followed by us judging it is a great idea.
Didn't we start calling him the Pizza Guy because we spent the prior year calling Krackov from the Ukraine the Russian Guy? We're making fun of ourselves.
I'm not sure but I think I was the one who came up with "Pizza Guy". I'd like to apologize to pimple-faced high-school kids all over the U.S. for associating an Italian professional basketball player with their chosen vocation. Yes, it's a stupid nickname. That was the whole point. I am a first generation ignorant American born of Dutch immigrants. Feel free to refer to me as "wooden shoe guy" or "windmill guy" - it won't hurt my feelings in the least.
Wooden Shoe Guy seems like a good nickname for most of the Pistons describing their transition D.
Jerebko's lateral quickness comes to mind.
Separate names with a comma.

Just moved to Nashville from the duck-mecca Cleveland, Ohio (NOT!) and interested in some local info, contacts, seeing if anyone has an open spot in a blind, etc. Have been hunting 30+ years, have a 6-year old black lab -- Cooper -- who is a well trained duck retrieving machine, and more than my fair share of decoys, blinds, robo-ducks, gear, etc. to contribute. And I hate calling, so don't worry about me being the one on the kazoo! I leave that to the pros.

By Giuseppe Muro
Arsène Wenger and his Arsenal side will bump into a familiar face at Villa Park on Saturday when they line up against Gunners legend Robert Pires.
But will the French midfielder start the game and what was the reaction like among the Villa fans when Gerard Houllier secured his signing? We spoke to Mat Kendrick from the Birmingham Mail to get an Aston Villa perspective on Saturday's Premier League clash.
It's been a bit of a stop-start period really since Gerard Houllier joined the club. Villa were in a little bit of turmoil when Martin O'Neill left on the eve of the Premier League season and I think he has impressed people with the way he wants Villa to play. They are trying to play more attractive football though sadly the results haven't followed just yet. They've got ten points from 27 which is not quite good enough and he acknowledges that but is confident they can turn it around sooner rather than later. I don't think he had the wow factor when he came along because I think fans were unrealistically thinking they could get a bigger name. Some of the things he is trying to introduce and the way he is giving the younger players a chance seems to have won over a lot of the fans even if the results need improving.
Gabriel Agbonlahor, a boyhood Villa fan, summed it up when he said 'Pires is probably the biggest name signing that Villa have ever made'. Although he is a 37-year-old whose better days are probably behind him I think there is still an air of excitement. Villa have never had a World Cup winner among their ranks before. I'm not sure Villa fans will want to remember it but I can certainly remember a cracking goal he scored for Arsenal at Villa Park a few years ago [in 2002]. I think for six months, with the injury list Villa have got, I don't really see anybody better than Pires that Houllier could have brought in. I think with the number of young players Villa have in the team at the moment his experience and extra bit of quality will be invaluable. I'm not sure if he will start [on Saturday] - he came on for 22 minutes against Blackburn for his debut and showed a few flashes and intelligent use of the ball. He also played in a Reserve game at the training ground on Monday for an hour so he is slowly getting there in terms of match fitness. Houllier might think it's a bit too soon to throw him in for a start. Though I think we could see him play a large chunk of the second half depending on how the game pans out.
As he showed against Manchester United a few weeks ago Marc Albrighton an old-fashioned winger who is always on the front foot. He is always looking to take on his full back and to be fair he got the better of Patrice Evra which isn't bad going for a 21-year-old footballer. I think sometimes without him they lack a certain kind of directness. He is a busy industrial player with pace and ability to hurt teams so it will be a blow to Villa [that he is injured] and probably works in Arsenal's favour.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson admitted after the game [two weeks ago] that Villa could have been about 6-0 up before United finally woke up. It was a game that showcased the good and the bad of Villa at the moment. You've got all these exciting players who come out and play without fear but on the flip side it was naivety and inexperience that allowed United to get back into the game. Rather than being disappointed about letting a two-goal lead slip they will take confidence from the fact that they had a team like United on the back foot for such a long time.
I think it's a season of transition for Villa. Under Martin O'Neill they finished sixth three years in a row and were knocking on the door of the Champions League but couldn't quite get there. Personally I don't think they will finish as high in the league as they have done in previous seasons. It's been 14 years since they've won anything, so if they can win a trophy and show how well these homegrown kids have burst through I think most fans would tolerate them falling away and finishing as low as tenth.

Good afternoon,
Due to lack of classroom space and a growing number of students, I have been considering the development of online courses that can be taken concurrently with classroom coursework. This would free up some much needed space. I would like feedback on the online method of teaching and its utility for ESL. I am, at this point, only thinking of writing courses. I think they would lend themselves nicely to an online format. Your thoughts?
Thank you!

Wait No More Florida
Focus on the Family
Saturday, August 24, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Right now, approximately 750 children and youth in Florida foster care are waiting for adoptive families. Florida also has more than 15,000 churches, and God has given clear commands for Christians to take care of His orphan children.
So if the command is clear and the need is apparent, why are these kids still waiting?
Focus on the Family is a donor-supported Christian ministry committed to helping families thrive. We believe that every child deserves to know the love of a forever family. That's why we're collaborating with adoption agencies, church leaders, and ministry partners to raise awareness of and recruit families for those waiting for permanent families.
Through one day events and targeted marketing campaigns, Focus on the Family is highlighting the urgent need for adoptive parents. For too long, these children and youth have been overlooked.
But that is changing. God is stirring the hearts of His people to welcome these children and youth into forever homes. To date, almost 2,400 families have initiated the process of adoption from foster care as a result of the collaborative efforts of Wait No More. And this is only the beginning.
Join Focus on the Family, the Florida Department of Children and Families as well as church and adoption leaders from around Florida on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at First Baptist Orlando. You'll hear more about the kids who are waiting, the process of adoption from foster care and ways to support adoptive families. In addition, agency and county representatives will be on site to answer questions and help you get started.
So come explore what the Lord may be asking you to do. Together we can ensure that no child in Florida is waiting for someone to call mom or dad.
Do I need to be there right at 10:00am or is this a come and go type event?
Starting right at 10:00am, we'll have several speakers sharing their experiences with adoption from foster care and at 12:00 you'll have the opportunity to speak with adoption agencies and ministry leaders.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Please send questions to email@example.com.
Is there childcare?
No, childcare is not available for the event. However, you may choose to bring your children with you.

Lindsay Lohan
March 25, 2014
It looks like Lindsay Lohan is starting off 2014 on the right foot.
The Associated Press reports that during a news conference at the Sundance Film Festival on January 20, the Mean Girls actress announced that she will produce and star in a new film called Inconceivable. Lohan added that she's looking for a "fresh start" after her public battles with the law. The conference was reportedly filmed by the documentary crew that is shooting her OWN reality series, set to premiere March 9.
Inconceivable producer and financier Randall Emmett said viewers "are going to really be shocked when they see Lindsay take this role on." Lohan added that she's approached Juliette Lewis for the film, and would love to work with American Horror Story star Jessica Lange.

Evangelicals resist new Scouts proposal
A proposal by the Boy Scouts of America would let gays join but continue to bar gay adults from serving as troop leaders.
The decision, announced April 19 by the BSA Executive Committee, must be approved by the roughly 1,400 voting members of the National Council at its meeting in Texas in late May.
"No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone," reads the resolution.
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian lobbying group, urged the organization "to do the right thing and not yield to any societal pressure."
Perkins added, "For a century, Scouts have stood honorably for God and country. Scouting has never been about political correctness. Making it so today would have disastrous results for the organization." BSA has made no move to permit nontheist children to join.
Faith-healing parents lose second child
Faith-healing Philadelphia parents Herbert and Catherine Schaible have watched another child die. Their 8-month-old son Brandon died April 19. Autopsy results are pending.
The Schaibles belong to First Century Gospel Church, which substitutes prayer for medical care. They were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2009 when their 2-year-old son died of bacterial pneumonia. The sentence included 10 years' probation and an order to arrange continuing medical care for their remaining children.
Child welfare workers are monitoring the medical needs of the seven other Schaible children, ages 3 to 18, who have been placed temporarily in three foster homes.
Kent Schaible died in 2009 after having pneumonia for two weeks. "We tried to fight the devil, but in the end the devil won," Herbert Schaible told a social worker investigating Kent's death.
Nelson Clark, 71, the Schaibles' pastor, told a Philadelphia Inquirer reporter that God didn't want the children to die. They died due to some "spiritual lack" in the Schaibles' lives, Clark said. "They realize they must get back to God, to seek wisdom from him, to find where the spiritual lack is in their heart and life."
Boys' herpes tied to Orthodox ritual
Two New York City baby boys contracted herpes after undergoing an ultra-Orthodox Jewish circumcision ritual called metzitzah b'peh in which the mohel uses his mouth to "cleanse" the penile wound and suck away blood.
A week after the ceremony, one boy developed a fever and a lesion on his scrotum, according to the city Health Department. The city started requiring parents to sign consent forms in 2000 to acknowledge awareness of the ritual's risk.
Fox News reported that Dr. William Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University, said the ritual is always unsafe. "These terrible infections are completely preventable. They should not occur in the 21st century with our scientific knowledge."
Father's killing
called 'will of God'
Witnesses said Reshad Riddle, 25, started yelling about God and Allah after fatally shooting his father, 52-year-old Richard Riddle, after an Easter service March 31 at Hiawatha Church of God in Christ in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Associate Pastor Sean Adams told the Star Beacon that Reshad Riddle, still holding a handgun, yelled that the killing was "the will of Allah. This is the will of God."
Ahlquist gets First Amendment Award
Rhode Island teen Jessica Ahlquist, who successfully challenged her school district's prayer banner in federal court, is the 2013 "education" category recipient of a Hugh Hefner Foundation First Amendment Award. Last year's education recipient was Zack Kopplin, who led the successful effort to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act that promoted teaching creationism and so-called intelligent design in public school science classes.
Ahlquist will receive $5,000, a commemorative plaque and a trip to the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles for a May 22 reception with other recipients and judges.
Atheist's soles
slowed by believers?
The Atheist shoe company, based in Berlin, suspects that religious U.S. postal workers may be behind slowed delivery or even nondelivery of Atheist orders.
The firm found out last year due to customer feedback about the problem. American customers wondered if the Atheist name on packaging materials was behind the slowdown.
As a test, the company sent two packages each to 89 customers in 49 states, one sealed with Atheist-branded tape and the other with plain tape. The company stays neutral. Sure enough, the Atheist-taped packages took an average of three days longer to arrive, and of 10 that didn't arrive at all, nine were Atheist-taped.
According to a Religion News Service story, package delivery was just as likely to slow down in the Pacific Northwest as in the Deep South. "There was no regional variation at all."
Egyptians targeting satires of Islam
Satirist Bassem Youssef, known as "the Jon Stewart of Egypt," was released on bail March 31 after prosecutors questioned him on charges that he insulted Islam and President Mohammed Morsi. Youssef tweeted that the bail was for three separate cases.
Youssef, 39, is a surgeon who became vocal during the 2011 "Arab Spring." He "has regularly derided members of the government and those he says misuse religion for political gains," reported the Abu Dhabi National. "We are not the ones who insult religion, all we do is expose the channels that have misused religion and harmed it more than anyone else."
Comedian Adel Imam narrowly avoided a prison sentence last year for "insulting Islam" through his depictions of characters. A higher court overturned the three-month sentence and fine in May.
In January 2012, telecom tycoon Naguib Sawiris was sued for posting an image on Twitter of Mickey and Minnie Mouse wearing conservative Islamic clothing.
Prayer power puffed
by Church of England
The British Humanist Association criticized the Church of England in March for "seeking to mislead the public" about a poll question on the power of prayer. As reported by Huffington Post-UK, the one-question survey of church members, conducted by ICM Research, asked, "Irrespective of whether you currently pray or not, if you were to pray for something at the moment, what would it be for?"
The church reported the result "four out of five believe in the power of prayer."
Andrew Copson, BHA chief executive, called that "a desperate attempt to have an Easter good news story through misleading claims conceal[ing] the reality of the religious demography of our country." He added, "If you asked someone 'Irrespective of whether you make wishes of genies, what would you wish for?' or 'Irrespective of whether you believe in Father Christmas, what would you ask him for?' you could hardly use the responses to demonstrate wide public belief in genies or Santa Claus."
Study: Mother Teresa far from saintly
An academic paper by Serge Larivée and Genevieve Chenard of the University of Montreal's Department of Psychoeducation and Carole Sénéchal of the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Education debunks the myth of Mother Teresa. The paper was published in the March issue of the journal Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuses and analyzes 287 documents on Mother Teresa's life.
In an article on Vendredi News headlined "Mother Teresa: anything but a saint," the researchers note "her rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce."
Before she died, Mother Teresa had opened 517 facilities for the poor and sick in more than 100 countries. Some doctors who visited them described the missions as "homes for the dying" where many people languished for lack of food and medical care.
The study notes her response to criticism cited by the later journalist Christopher Hitchens: "There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ's Passion. The world gains much from their suffering."
After accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, she commented that "the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
Pakistani youth
favor Islamic law
A survey of Pakistanis ages 18-29 showed 38% believe the country should be governed by Islamic law and only 29% think democracy is the best political system. The study was conducted between December 2012 and January 2013 by the British Council.
"The results are not surprising, and we face a really confused young population that is brainwashed with visions of a glorious Islamic past and the gritty reality of unemployment, insecurity and political turmoil," Raza Rumi, an Islamabad-based writer and analyst, told The Independent.
"The last five years of democracy have also been misrepresented by the same elements who are permanent stakeholders in nonrepresentative forms of governance."
Utah atheist may sue over T-shirts
The Atheists of Utah are considering legal action against TIKI Printing of West Valley City, a Salt Lake City suburb, for refusing to print "Gotta Be Real Cuz God Ain't!" on T-shirts.
"We weren't going to be the delivery method for that message that demeaned our beliefs," TIKI Printing owner Sam Saltzman told KUTV. Saltzman said he agreed to print the front of the shirt, which includes the group's website atheistsofutah.org/.
"I found it quite shocking that an organization that stated that they were Christian would not do business with someone because they were not Christian," said Connie Anast with Atheists of Utah.
Israel moves to bar gender segregation
Israeli government officials are moving to ban religious practices that give second-class status to women. "The issue is at the heart of a long and emotional struggle between Israel's secular majority and an ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority over lifestyle in the Jewish state," the Jerusalem Post reported May 9.
"Today, I instructed the Justice Ministry to draft legislation . . . that will make any segregation of women and their humiliation in a public space a criminal offense," Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said.
On May 8 in a 71-page document, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein recommended outlawing any behavior that stops women from receiving "public services with equal conditions."
Recommendations include:
• Ensuring that no cemeteries separate men and women or prevent women from giving eulogies.
• Barring separation of women and men at ceremonies or events sponsored by the government or any of its ministries, in health clinics or on public transportation.
• The Transportation Ministry must monitor bus companies to make sure there's no gender separation.
• Signs indicating separate sidewalks for men and women or calling for modest dress must be removed by authorities, especially when posted in a public place.
• The haredi "Kol Barama" radio station will have to stop its policy of not employing female broadcasters within six months.

Community Roll Call
Members of the Wauwatosa Police Department's Community Support Division, with backup provided by the folks at WauwatosaNow.com, are now blogging. We will be providing you with an ongoing series of crime prevention tips, any current crime trends as well as pertinent news and notes as it relates to your Police Department.
Counterfeit U.S. Currency Reported in Wauwatosa
The passing of counterfeit U.S. Currency has been reported in Wauwatosa. Business owners and employees alike should be on the lookout for counterfeit paper bills that are being passed as genuine.
The passed counterfeit bills have been bleached genuine $5.00 bills which have been reprinted with a larger denomination (i.e. $20.00, $50.00, $100.00). Because these bills are printed on legitimate currency paper, counterfeit detection pens are ineffective. Businesses should not rely on the counterfeit pens alone. The current counterfeit bills use poor quality printing and lack several security features inherent to genuine paper currency:
· Color Shifting Ink: The denomination number (i.e. 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100) in the lower right hand corner should change color from green to copper when the bill is tilted. The current counterfeit bills do not have this characteristic and remain one color.
· Watermark: By holding the bill up to a light, a faint image or "watermark" of the President should be visible to the right of the main image. The portraits should be identical.
· Security Thread: By holding the bill up to a light, a thin plastic strip called a "security thread" should be visible running vertically across the bill. The security thread is printed with "USA" and the corresponding denomination (i.e. $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100).
· Print Quality: Compare the suspect bill with a known genuine bill of the same denomination. Counterfeit print color and clarity is usually sub-standard causing the bill to appear "washed out", faded, or blurry. Counterfeit paper currency may not be centered on the paper or printed crooked.
If you determine that a bill is counterfeit, do not return it to the customer. Note the customer's description, the description of any companions, and the license number of any involved vehicle(s). Notify the police department immediately. If you feel that it is safe, you may attempt to delay the customer until police arrive. Handle the suspect bill as little as possible to preserve evidence. Place the suspect bill in a bag by itself to protect it from contamination.

The billy smells so bad that if he even brushes up against the does they will smell too & milking & handling won't be pleasant :-P. They pee on their beards & rub it on the does...one of the most disgusting animals I have ever been around!! ewwww! You will have to make a high, non climb STURDY fence. They will go under, over & through to be where they want to be. If he has horns he can lift hotwire with them :-x to get under so make sure its tight & close to the fence & posts. Good luck! I will have fresh cows milk next summer :-D mnnn, fresh butter & might even try simple cheese, wonder how hard it is to make fresh mozzarella? It's so good on baguette with fresh pesto & tomato slice..oh my, I can't wait!! :lol: Jody

Does it have night sights?
IS 589 a good price for a factory refurbed sig 229 .40?
without night sights, it's about $150 high for my area
Well, my used 229 (9mm) cost me $500.00. I sent it to Sig (on my cost) to have it cleaned, new springs and stock sights installed. The end price was a lot higher than $589.00.
I just bought a brand new Sig 229 9mm two tone with nightsights for $790
it's good to be the king
Pictures???? Get 'im, Ship....
I think you'll love the way it shoots. I've got a 229r in 9mm.
Let's hear all about it, once you get it out on the range.
it came in today..I loaded it up with Triton Quik Shoks and put it in a Bianchi AccuMold holster
it needs wood grips and a leather holster
I purchased a 229R in TT CPO in March for 600.00 including shipping so sounds about right in my area.
This price seems high unless you are in California
Just purchased a factory refurb Sig 229 40 cal with night sights and 2 extra mags for $450.00.

First thing I'd do is check your wireless card & chipset against the hardware compatibility list (the wiki & the HCL forum here). Also, are you running the 32-bit, or 64-bit version of BT5? Next, are you running BT5 in a virtual machine?
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
Two nights ago I was working on a script of mine and I had no Internet at the time. Instead of wanting to be spoonfed or even google it, I decided to have a go at it myself. For a certain part of the script I wanted it to have built-in sanitization in such that if the user were to enter in a NIC that did not exist by a slip of a key (i.e. wlam0 -vs- wlan0), the script would consult a list of NICs on the system at the time of variable entry. It literally took me a good hour to figure out how to grep out and awk stuff so that my idea would work. I had nobody to consult but myself. After I figured it out, I felt such elation and pride. If I had not figured it out on my own, what would I have gained? A solution perhaps, but not true experience with "coding" (No, bash is not coding, but it is a highly recommended place to start learning how these little boxes work).
Just my two cents.Code:ifconfig -s | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v Iface > dev_list echo "Choose NIC" read nic_ grep -i $nic_ dev_list > /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ];then echo "Invalid NIC" NIC_choice-- fi
Pffbt..[quote]I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. [/quote]
I've got a similar problem:

LOS ANGELES — Five former city councilors in a small, blue-collar Los Angeles suburb that became a symbol of political greed were convicted Wednesday of stealing taxpayer money by creating a panel that helped boost their part-time pay to nearly $100,000 a year.
One former councilman was acquitted and the other five were found not guilty of several counts each, as jurors returned verdicts on only about half of the more than 80 charges prosecutors had filed.
Jurors said they were deadlocked on the other charges, but the judge ordered them to continue deliberations after some members said they thought a verdict could still be reached.
The trial was the first such proceeding following revelations that Bell's leadership had bilked the hardscrabble city of $5.5 million, using the money to pay huge salaries to the city manager, police chief, City Council members and others. The former city manager and his assistant are expected to face trial on similar charges later this year.
Former Bell Mayor Oscar Hernandez and onetime City Council members Teresa Jacobo, George Mirabal, George Cole and Victor Bello were convicted Wednesday of misappropriating public funds.
Former Councilman Luis Artiga was acquitted of all charges. The pastor of Bell Community Church broke down in tears and pointed heavenward as the not guilty verdicts were read.
"I said, 'Thank you, Lord,'" a beaming Artiga, surrounded by his wife and four children, said outside court. "I never lost faith. I knew it, I just knew it."
After the four-week trial, the other defendants were convicted of illegally taking money for sitting on Bell's Solid Waste and Recycling Authority, an entity they could not prove had been legally established or did any work. Artiga was not on the City Council when it was created.
Records showed it met only one time between 2006 and 2010.
After the verdicts were read, the jury foreman told Judge Kathleen Kennedy the panel was deadlocked 9-3 on the other charges, which involved their paid service on other, similar boards that prosecutors said were created for no purpose other than to inflate their salaries.
When four jurors told her they still believed a verdict on those charges was possible, she ordered them to continue deliberations. They were to meet again today.
At the heart of the case is whether the six officials broke the law by paying themselves annual salaries of up to $100,000 to govern only part time in the city of 36,000 people where one in four residents live below the poverty line.
An audit by the state controller's office found the city had illegally raised property taxes, business license fees and other sources of revenue to pay the salaries. The office ordered the money repaid, which for a time put Bell in danger of filing for bankruptcy.
The defendants, many of whom took the witness stand during the trial, insisted they earned their salaries by working around the clock to help residents. Their lawyers blamed Bell's disgraced former city manager, Robert Rizzo, for creating the fiscal mess.
City records have revealed that Rizzo had an annual salary and compensation package worth $1.5 million, making him one of the highest paid administrators in the country.
His salary alone was about $800,000 a year — double that of the president of the United States.
To fund salaries of officials, Rizzo masterminded a scheme to loot Bell's treasury of $5.5 million, prosecutors said.
Witnesses at the trial of the former council members depicted Rizzo as a micromanager who convinced the city's elected officials that they too deserved huge salaries.
He was said to have manipulated council members into signing major financial documents, particularly Hernandez, who does not read English and, according to his lawyer, was often unaware of what he was signing.
After the scandal was disclosed, thousands of Bell residents protested at City Council meetings and staged a successful recall election to throw out the entire council and elect new leaders.
Current Mayor Ali Saleh, a leader of the recall, hailed the guilty verdicts on Wednesday but said residents won't be truly satisfied until Rizzo and Spaccia are tried.
"Our community will rest when the legal process has come full circle and justice has been served," he said.
Denisse Rodarte, 31, a longtime Bell resident who was also involved in launching the recall, stood outside Bell City Hall later Wednesday holding a sign that read "Rizzo is next."
"To finally have a court say they are guilty, it's like, 'Yeah, we were right, we've been saying this all along,'" Rodarte said.

Sunday 4th December 2011
Although at this stage I cannot categorically confirm the above to be true as I'm writing these thoughts high above the clouds on my morning flight to Athens, the last weather forecast I viewed certainly seems to suggest we are in for a pleasant few days!
Even if it is just overcast in fact it will be a far cry from the conditions for Saturday's visit to the DW Stadium.
If the weather was a bit grim however, our victory on the day definitely wasn't, especially in a fixture that has seen us leave disappointed on more than one occasion in the past.
Getting up and ready in the dark is part and parcel of most people's everyday life this time of year and some of our more distant away days also start this way. As with every trip however, a bit of brekkie and travel banter soon has everyone in the right mood for the events ahead.
Having arrived in Wigan in time to watch the Newcastle v Chelsea live TV game the emphasis on how crucial moments can influence the outcome of all matches was clear when the referee chose to give a yellow card to the away team's centre half rather than a red for his challenge on the home team's forward. A controversial incident and one which, had it gone the other way, may well have changed the result.
I mention this because our hosts started well and if it wasn't for Andre's early block we could have gone behind. Mikel and TV's quick double midway through the half might not have materialised had Wigan's early chance gone in and given them the boost they yearned. A crucial moment indeed.
Without playing fantastically well in the first period we went into the break with a highly-satisfactory two-goal lead, the perfect way to keep warm on a cold, wet and blustery afternoon.
Whether it is due to losing leads on both our previous visits I'm not sure but when the referee turned down an absolute stonewall penalty appeal when Rambo was hauled down early in the second period, I felt anger, frustration and almost resignation that it could be another game-turning moment.
Certainly our hosts probably enjoyed their only five-minute spell of pressure since the opening seconds in the period that followed the incident, but once the best move of the match saw Gerv slot home the rebound after RVP's shot was parried, it was game over.
The media have recently enjoyed suggesting we only have one goalscorer in our team so to be three up without our captain being on the scoresheet was satisfying to say the least. It was inevitable, however, that the goal would come at some stage so after yet more fine wing play from the ever-improving Theo, RVP completed the rout on what was a fine away display all round.
The thousands of travelling Gooners let rip with a new 'He scores when he wants' chant, a noisy, amusing and very apt end to the day.
A few hours later and I was watching Match of the Day in a hotel near Heathrow Airport and thoughts turned to what should be one of our most relaxing European trips yet.
The promise of nice weather, fine food and refreshment in one of my favourite cities and of course the chance to see our young squad on the Champions League stage makes sure it should still be a highly-entertaining few days.
For Olympiacos, it is a simply massive fixture. If they think it will be a foregone conclusion as we have already qualified however, they may well come unstuck. Every one of those players wearing the red and white will be extremely keen to impress, just like they have in the Carling Cup this season.
I'm sure they will.

" Brand: Rimmel / Type: Mascara / Suitable for: Eye "
When I was on holiday in Blackpool a few months ago for a week I'd forgotten my mascara - disaster, lol!
I had to buy one quick but my budget was only a few pounds but luckily I found a 'Rimmel Exaggerate' in Black (the greatest colour in the universe!!) for only four pounds on a market stall.
The wand was sealed but it came highly recommended by the biggest makeup freak I know - my mum! She said to get a trusted brand like this one so I did...
The mascara comes in a really funky silver tube which is about four inches long and had pretty swirls on the screw off lid. It said on the front 'full volume and curl' and is ophthalmologically tested for eye safety too.
Made in England there is 8ml of mascara in this product which is advertised as 'Sweeps lashes up and out to their fullest potential' so I was hopeful it was pretty good stuff :)
When I opened up my new find I had a good look at the brush before I coated it too much in mascara. It was a long narrow brush type applicator with little fibre teeth really, the brush is about one inch long and narrows slightly at the end to make it easier to ally the cosmetic to the outer lashes.
When I used this makeup for the first time I was really impressed with it!
It was smooth and quite thick but not clumpy; it needed two coats though so I let each layer set before going over it for a final sweep...
This isn't a waterproof mascara but it lasted very well anyway, I didn't have to re-do it all day and it came off really easily with my makeup facial wipes at night time.
I really liked this mascara and though it was from a good cosmetic name, five stars from me I can recommend it for good coverage and staying power :)
Rimmel Exaggerate Mascara is my favourite mascara, I will never stray from this mascara and buy it over and over again!
I have fairly long eye lashes any way and find that many mascaras makes my lashes stick together and become clumpy.
With Rimmel Exaggerate the mascara seems to be fairly fluid and not lumping in any way. I am also sure that the traditional style brush makes a huge different too.
The brush allows you to have far more control of the application.
The Exaggerate Mascara range come in a range of colours from navy blu, brown to black, which means the range is suited to everyone.
I have to say that this range of masacra is very affordable at around £5. and also does exactly what it say on it- the mascara really does exaggerate your lashes! I seem to get a lot of comments on how long my lashed look!!
A affordable and quality product
before I start, apologies for the awful title. and another ting, this is about the non-waterproof version of their mascara, either that or it didn't say so on the packet, and it wasn't waterproof at all. I'm thinking the first one. I personally think that mascara?s are one of the most difficult beauty products to buy. You can?t test them in the shop, because you?d get escorted quickly from the premises. You also don?t know whether or not they?re going to be any good at all, and whether or not you are going to end up with panda eyes during winter. I didn?t have to go through the painstaking process of choosing this mascara, as it was bought for me by a friend. I don?t know about you, but I really love trying out new products, I?m like a child in a toy shop, so I used this one almost straight away. I usually curl my eyelashes before I put on my mascara, but in this case I didn?t have time, so I just applied the mascara straight away (school mornings are lazy and rushed at my house!). It was very easy to apply and it didn?t clump, or leave little black specks above my eyelids (I hate it when that happens!). It didn?t clump at all, which I am very glad about, because there?s nothing I hate more than spider lashes. This Mascara has quite a small brush, which I really like, as longer ones usually just leave me with lots of smudged make-up and they get in the way I find. As you can see from the picture, it?s black with silver writing on it, which you would think to be plain, but it?s actually very classy looking, which I like. I was given this mascara in shade 001 which is Black/Black, although it also comes in brownish/black. The mascara claims to ?triple the volume of lashes? and it totally lived up to these claims. My lashes looked really long and curly, even though I hadn?t curled them, it also separated my lashes really well, so no-more spider lashes for me. This is suitable for sensitive eye
s, although my eyes aren?t sensitive so I can?t tell you whether or not this is true. Is it waterproof? Not really, but considering it?s not meant to be, I wasn?t expecting whether proofed eyes. It did only smudge a little though, and I find if I just rub away the excess, it looks fine. It is also a very long lasting mascara, as I?ve never once had to re-apply it at school, where I find many other mascaras I need to re-apply once at least. I recently bought an Avon mascara because I?ve has this about 4 months, and your supposed to throw them out after 3, but I was hugely disappointed in it, so I had to come back to my faithful friend. It?s also excellent value for money, at only the £4 mark. So even if you detest it when you get it home, you aren?t gonna have burnt a hole in you wallet are you? Thanks for reading, Laura xx
I have been trying to find a decent mascara to wear for nights out for ages now and I have tried loads of so called "superlash" mascaras that didn't work. When I saw the Rimmel Exaggerate mascara I thought I might as well add it to my growing collection. I was really impressed. It claims to triple the length of lashes and it really works. My lashes looked longer and thicker than they ever have before and I was actually asked if I was wearing false lashes the other night. The product went on without clumping, separating your lashes and making your eyes look fantastic. I wouldn't recommend this product for daytime use though, the effect is a bit too overstated. Reading other users opinion it seems that this product doesn't live up to its waterproof claim but as I only wear the product in the evening this hasn't really affected me. The only problem I have found with this mascara is that its a nightmare to get off. I have to use tons of eye make up remover to avoid looking like the Bride of Dracula the next day! And if you do end up staying at a friends or going to bed without taking your make up before you go to bed be warned that this mascara flakes badly and you will look like a panda in the morning!
I normally buy Mabelline mascara, but after buying a tube the other day, only to find it had dried out I decided to try another brand. I saw that Rimmel did a brand called Exaggerate, it claims to triple the volume of your lashes. I've been using it for about a week now, and I have to say I'm a convert, I probably wouldn't buy Mabelline again after using Rimmel. It has a really chunky wand that reaches right to the tip of the lash, in just one coat, you can see the difference, after applying two coats, it's like WOW. My lashes were so thick and long they actually stood out, it kind of feels funny as I was used to normal looking lashes. This is definitely a quality product that knocks the socks off Maybelline. If you want thick, long luxurious lashes try this girls and boys.
I always wear mascara and always choose a waterproof one as I take my two year old swimming twice a week and I can guarentee that if I leave the house without an umbrella it will rain. So when my usual brand of waterproof mascara ran out I decided to give another brand a go. On reading the product description Rimmels Exaggerate Extra Volume Waterproof Mascara sounded perfect. Mother nature diidn't give me long luscious lashes so the idea of having triple volume lashes sounded ideal and the fact that it claims to be waterproof was a bonus. Well on first application it went on evenly with no clumping, it was easy to apply and my lashes looked great...and then I went swimming...bad idea. My daughter splashed me in the face a few times and when I emerged from the pool I looked like a panda. I can honestly say that this is the worst waterproof mascara I've ever tried and am so disgusted that Rimmel have the cheek to claim it's waterproof when it definitly isn't that I'm going to write to Rimmel to complain. This has to be the worst £3.99 I've ever spent. I'll keep you all updated on my complaint.
I've tried lots of foundations and the one i've been using now for over 2 years is Rimmel Soft Finish Foundation . I have really pale skin and it the only foundation I have found that doesn't make my face look like an orange !!! It is really cheap to , a tube ( 30mls) lasts for ages and costs under 3 pounds . What is good is that also do them for different skin types as lots of Foundations i've tried have made my dry skin look even worse , but this foundation has got built in moisturisers but they are non greasy so I don't get a shiny nose . The foundation is really light weight , reduces lines and lasts for about 6 hrs before a reapplication is needed . It's ideal for everyday use , but I would use something a little more expensive and longer lasting if i'm off out for the evening .
For ages now I've been using Rimmel's Exaggerate extra volume mascara because I think it really builds up lashes well. But because I'm always worried about bits dropping off and giving me panda eyes (I wear glasses so the ends can break off when I flutter my lashes against the lenses), I add a coat of a different brand of waterproof to sort of seal everything on. So when I saw in Boots the other week that Rimmel have brought out a new waterproof Exaggerate extra volume mascara and it was on offer at a special trial price, I thought it was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. I couldn't have been more wrong.First, it didn't build up the lashes at all--it was actually quite a thin consistency and I wasn't impressed even after two coats. But secondly, and even worse,when I looked in the mirror a few hours later, I had dirty great patches of the stuff under my eyes! I dread to think what would have happened if I would have been caught in the rain!! It says on the pack "Triples the volume of the lashes-in just two coats".I think it's Rimmel who is Exaggerating. Don't waste your money on this product--offer price or not, it's not worth having.

Hello all,
New to the forum. I have a PT1911 calibred in 9mm bought used and I notice that all the ejected brass has a distinctive nick on the rim - about 1/8" long, along the edge. Presumably this happens during the extraction/ejection process. Anyone seen something similar? Very happy with the pistol...takes the cheap Wolf ammo no problem and way more accurate than my Glock 22, although I've heard the accuracy with the latter is down to trigger technique.

"The first 40 the puck movement was real good, we had some good opportunities we didn't take advantage of then we got in some penalty trouble, it gave them some momentum.

With an eye on the need to raise the federal debt limit soon, administration officials and six congressional representatives began deficit-reduction negotiations last week. Some of those involved in the talks, chaired by Vice President Joe Biden, have offered hopeful and conciliatory comments.
Biden described the session on Thursday as a "good, productive first meeting." The talks were scheduled to resume today, and the President is also scheduled to meet with Senate Democrats and Republicans at separate White House meetings later this week. Because of the meetings, the Senate Budget Committee is unlikely to consider the FY 2012 budget resolution this week.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), one of the negotiators, said he thought there were "areas in which we can find some commonality." Republicans have also been focusing less on their proposal to revamp Medicare, noting intense Democratic opposition to the idea.
The Treasury Department has warned that the government will risk default if the debt limit is not raised by early August. The Concord Coalition has urged Congress to use the debt limit increase as an opportunity to agree on procedural or substantive fiscal reforms.
In a speech in New York last night, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said "It's true that allowing America to default would be irresponsible. But it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling without simultaneously taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and reform the budget process." Boehner called for spending cuts "greater than the accompanying increases in debt authority the president is given" and reaffirmed his position that "tax hikes should be off the table."
As elected officials this year continue to work on broad deficit reduction measures, they should keep everything – including Medicare reform and revenue increases – on the table for discussion. Statements ruling certain options off limits are not responsible.

NFL • The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens will open the 2013 season at Denver in the now-traditional Thursday night kickoff game.
The NFL champs usually host the opener, but the Orioles are home Sept. 5 and could not move their game. So $121 million quarterback Joe Flacco and Baltimore were sent to Denver to face Peyton Manning and the team they beat in double overtime on their way to the Super Bowl.
Baltimore preferred beginning the season Thursday night on the road rather than at home on Sunday.

College basketball • Los Angeles Lakers assistant Eddie Jordan has reached a tentative agreement to take over as coach at Rutgers, a person familiar with the situation tells the Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school has not officially announced the deal, but said the two sides hammered out the five-year contract over the past 12 hours. It needs to be reviewed by the university's board of governors.

Once a hive of bees has gone into swarm mode it is very hard to stop it. Cutting out the queen cells will, sooner or later, leave you queenless as the hive will often swarm once queen cells are capped and have sometimes swarmed as soon as queen cells with larvae are established.Once the bees have decided to swarm the best solution is to split the hive taking the queen away from the original location (even if it's only a few feet away) and letting the queen cells hatch a new queen. You can either then recombine the two or build up 2 hives, which is the better. 2 hives gives you resources or saving 1 or both hives that you don't have with only one hive.
Well after a week of Walleye fishing I got home and checked my Bees. They have about all the frames built out now. BUT I don't see any with eggs now. There is a heck of a lot of bees in there (14968 to be exact), but there is no frames with eggs and I checked them all. I did see about 4 queen cells and acidently broke one when I was pulling a frame. So my question is, do I requeen right now. or do I just wait and let them sort it. out. ThanksChappy

Our friend Lee (Thundercat337) is working on his Boba Fett Belt and Pouches. He's doing a fantastic job. We're autocadding the heck out of the pouches and belt to ensure that they are not only correct in size but proportional as well. Thundercat337 is going as far as making these from whtie vinyl and painting them so they match the screen accurate pouches.
This was one of the first prototypes that he did.
After making this prototype, we decided that the flaps should not be glued down so well.
He is casting the pouch interiors in a lightweight hyperfirm rubber so they are all the same in size and shape. This will also increase the durability and comfort.

New Archer
Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to archery. My grandfather showed me his old recurve bow the other day and I fell in love with it. It's 50# draw, but I think it may be a bit too much for me. I'm looking into getting my own gear, and I need to find a pro shop around here. Can anyone give me a few tips on what to buy? I'm a 19 year old college student so money isn't abundant. :P I'd like to do mostly target shooting, perhaps with a little field archery if I can afford the club membership and gas money to get there. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I thought I'd mention, when I shoot the bow, the string goes so far forward it snaps my wrist pretty bad. Got a couple of welts from it already.

Also, what are the real differences between compound, recurve, and longbows?
Hey Newbie
The difference between Longbow, Recurve and Compound. A Compound will give you much better accuracy, speed and an easier pull. Lets compare: 80% letoff on a 63 pound Compound bow; you'll actually be holding around 12 pounds, pull a 63 pound Recurve or Longbow and you'll be holding 63 pounds, no letoff. Speed of a good Compound today will get you around 280 fps, recurve or Longbow, not even close. There is a need to balance speed and accuracy and around 260 - 280 is good for the average archer with average form.
There is no comparison for accuracy, put a peep and a sight on a Compound bow and it will smack the Recurve and Longbow around. I would say get the best gear you can afford, if your not sure if you'll stick to it, get good equipment, not the best, yet.
If you haven't found a pro shop yet, look in the yellow pages or let me know where you are located, I'll see if I can help find a place. The cheapest way to get in, is to buy good used equipment, if possible, from friends. Only get yourself measured and fitted for a new or used bow at your pro shop. Start with 3D, then get into Spots. Its a cheaper start. You can shoot well in spots with a 3D rig, I did it (296/36X with fingers), but you'll buy all new equipment if you take spots seriously, it's just different equipment at that point than for hunting.
If you live in the midwest let me know. If your going to start with 3D. I make a list with over 500 shoots on it.
Bruises huh, welcome to the fingers family, your hitting your wrist because you form is wrong. A finger shooter stops at the corner of his mouth. You can do it two ways from here: (either position, your hand must be straight up and down, not bent/twisted)1 - refuse to hold the string by relaxing the back of your hand. The string will release "straight" and your hand may come straight back; it should suprise you. 2 - this is how I had to do it - put the string near the fingers tip. Draw back to the corner of your mouth, aim, don't think about letting the string go, but open you fingers as you come straight back to the back/top of your shoulder. Find a spot as you face the target, practice without your bow and take your finger from the corner of your mouth, releasing with your thumb touching a predetermined spot at the back of your shoulder. It's easier to show than to explain, but I hope you get the idea.
A lot of people shoot Recurve and Longbows and they love it. Only they are not as accurate, fast or as easy to pull and hold as a compound.
let me know how it goes.Keith

I actually found a pro shop today about 20 miles from my house, and there's a field archery club about an hour away, so I seem to be in good shape. I'm using a recurve right now, 50# draw, but like I said, I think it might be just a little too much. The lady at the pro shop said it shouldn't be too much of a problem though, as I'll gain muscle. I picked up a half dozen game-getter 2 arrows with field tips and used their range to shoot for about 30 mins. The lady gave some helpful pointers while I was out there, so that was pretty cool. A couple of things, what is a spot? What would be the differences between a longbow and a recurve?
Recurves and Long Bows
You know you've found a good Pro Shop when they are willing to give you their time and expertise, without charging you for it every time.
The indoor range should be able to show you what the "spot" looks like. You have a "Single spot" and a "Five spot". Basically one circle with inner circles on one page. The other is five on one page. Each circle is worth a certain number of points.
Longbows are taller than Recurves. Recurves are faster, with a tendancy for less hand shock while Longbows can be fussier to tune. It really comes down to what you want it for. You really need to shoot a few, feel is really important on these two.Keith

For a refreshing take on fajitas, try this savory salad suggested by Iola Egle of McCook, Nebraska. "Your crowd will love the festive layers and creamy guacamole," Iola assures.
Recommended: 21 Recipes to Make for Taco Tuesday
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick, about 1-1/2 pounds)

- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1-1/3 cups salsa
- 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
- Sliced ripe olives and green onions
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first four ingredients. Add pork chops. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Drain, discarding marinade. Grill chops, uncovered, over medium heat for 12-14 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Thinly slice pork; set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring broth to a boil; stir in rice. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Cool.

New flag eyed to champion cause of addicts in recovery
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | June 14. 2014 8:02PM
John Sweeney, left, and Marty Boldin, who both serve on the board of Hope for New Hampshire Recovery, hold the recovery flag in the Hall of Flags at the Statehouse on Friday. (COURTESY)
That's how Marty Boldin pitched his latest idea to John Sweeney, who serves with him on the board of Hope for New Hampshire Recovery. Both men have been in recovery for many years.
Boldin called Sweeney, a Derry artist who coaches others who are new to recovery, and asked whether he would design a flag. Sweeney didn't hesitate.
Hassan applauded the group's efforts.
"Hopefully, it will take off," he said. "We want to have a symbol out there to let people know they're not alone and that ... recovery is spoken where that flag is flown."
"Wouldn't it be a really great thing for restaurants and employers to have out there so that when people go to work, they're not afraid to tell their bosses they're in sobriety?'' he said. "Or that the reason they don't want to go to the Christmas party where everyone's getting snockered isn't because they're anti-social but because it isn't consistent with their lifestyle."
Sweeney has been clean and sober for 14 years. He reached out for help, he said, when he realized alcohol abuse "was literally killing me."
The Hope for New Hampshire Recovery board has another near-term goal: creation of the state's first recovery center, in Manchester.
Boldin envisions a place where people in early stages of recovery would find support and resources to help them stay sober, seek employment and build connections. He'd like to see the center host sober entertainment events, such as open mike nights, as well as education, training and other support services.
And while the board hopes to seek out any federal or state funding that could be available, Boldin said the plan is to make such centers, which he hopes will open in other cities as well as Manchester, self-sustaining. "At the end of the day, we want to make sure that these places, when they open, are able to pay their own rent and are not dependent on the winds of political favor," he said.
"I'm 26 years clean and sober, and I'm a trusted public servant who affects positively the life of thousands of Manchester youth every year because I live a clean and sober lifestyle," Boldin said. "And I understand not only professionally but personally the kinds of processes that people need to go through to get sober."

Meet the Fitter – Maire from Solihull!
December 20th, 20124
Hi everyone and welcome to my first Bravissimo Blog post!!
I'm going to be appearing as a guest blogger every now and again so thought it might be nice to introduce myself.
Where I started….
Well firstly my name is Maire and I started working for Bravissimo about eight years ago serving customers on the shop floor. After working for a short time I realised how unique Bravissimo was, because it cared about its customers and wanted to go that extra mile for each and every one of them. It was the company's passion for service and making a difference which made me want to become a fitter.
Being a fitter…
It isn't always an easy job. You get customers who cry with joy because you've found them the perfect item, but then you get customers who cry because they are so self-conscious. You face the challenges of finding the bra that will look great under one lady's evening dress or fitting another lady in to a practical nursing bra that will look great under her clothes. Each customer has a personal requirement and my job, as a fitter, is about making each and every customer happy and relaxed while tailoring my service to provide what they need. I find being a fitter an extremely rewarding job and I love making a difference to how people feel about themselves.
What happens in a fitting…
Many women seem nervous about having a fitting and although it might seem daunting, you'll walk out feeling great and uplifted (no pun intended). Most women who come to us for the first time are wearing the wrong bra size and its great seeing the transformation from when a customer arrive to when they leave. Check out the 'fit guide' on our website to give you a little insight to how a good bra fits and to show you that it isn't scary.
We as fitters are there to make you feel comfortable so for example if you want us to leave the room while you try each bra on that's what we will do – just let us know what you need to make you feel at ease. We'll tell you what we recommend but at the end of the day you'll decide what style, shape and size you feel most comfortable in
Come and visit one of our stores and get a fitting from one of our fantastic fitting team. I can't recommend the experience enough; you'll go out a new confident and uplifted woman!

This 993-series Carrera S (1997 – 1998) looks good behind bars on Hollywood boulevard. With its rear drive set up and naturally aspirated engine, the Carrera S is essentially a standard Carrera save for slightly increased power, a lowered suspension and that gloriously wide booty in the rear (the wider rear fenders were compensated with wheel spacers). All the Turbo look for a lot less coin. Seen here underneath a beautiful LA sunset, the last of the air cooled 911s looks prime for a weekend jaunt down Mulholland.

Aerotropolis Supply Chain Advantage
March 25, 2014
As noted in today's news section, airports with new infrastructure and access to population centers will remain dominant in the air cargo arena.
The top three "aerotropolis" districts—the areas surrounding these cargo-intense airports—stand out in JLL's annual "Airport Outlook Report."
1. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) moves to the top position, up from second in last year's index. Infrastructure is a priority, with new cargo facilities planned that offer both airside and landside access. For supply chain executives, the greater Chicago market offers six major railroad connections, and is a one-day drive to nearly a third of North American consumers. This positions ORD as a gateway of choice- and investors are noticing that buildings are commanding higher rents than ever before within a 3-mile radius from ORD.
2. Miami (MIA) scores second highest in the index, down from the top position in last year's report. The airport and surrounding businesses control the food and flower trade (moving 71.2 percent of all U.S. perishables) and the lack of a single dominant carrier makes room for enhanced competition and demand for real estate.
3. Los Angeles (LAX) moved up in the rankings from last year's report, and now ranks third. Freight-forwarders were especially active near the airport in 2013, and real estate demand from logistics providers, consumer non-durables and food & beverage was notable throughout the surrounding market. China remains LAX's largest trading partner, followed by Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Korea; goods that enter through this access point help serve Los Angeles County's ten-million-strong population.
