Fox eagerly repeats GOP talking points on DREAM Act
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Greg Jarrett continued Fox News' distortion of the DREAM Act today on America Live -- one of Fox's "straight news" shows -- offering his own mischaracterizations and uncritically repeating GOP talking points.
After host Megyn Kelly introduced Jarrett, he began his segment by saying:
You know, for millions of illegals, the DREAM Act is a propitious title because it would fulfill their dream of jumping right to the front of the line and becoming U.S. citizens. Those who oppose it call it a veritable nightmare, granting amnesty right away to more than 2 million illegal immigrants, and in the end, maybe as many as 6 million or more illegals.
Jarrett is wrong that the DREAM Act would allow some immigrants to "jump right to the front of the line." In a document addressing myths about the DREAM Act, the Immigration Policy Center stated:
DREAM Act students do not compete for visas with other applicants for legal permanent residence. Instead, DREAM Act creates a separate program for students that requires them to earn legal permanent residence by attending college or serving in the military for two years while in a temporary legal status. DREAM will not affect the number of visas available or the time it takes to get a visa for those entering through traditional legal immigration."
Jarrett also falsely suggested that the bill would grant immigrants immediate citizenship. In fact, the versions of the DREAM Act pending in the House and Senate both state that eligible unauthorized immigrants could have their status adjusted to "conditional permanent resident status," which "shall be valid for a period of 6 years" and subject to termination should the immigrant cease to be eligible. Following the 6-year period, Dream Act immigrants would have to meet further requirements to gain permanent resident status and could only apply for citizenship (provided they meet further requirements) after they obtained such status.
Jarrett's lead-in also used language favored by opponents of immigration: He called undocumented immigrants "illegals" and described the period of conditional residency involved in the DREAM Act as "granting amnesty right away." (The description of the bill as a "nightmare" for those "opposed" to the bill seems to be a Fox favorite. Bret Baier also used it last week on Special Report.)
So, Jarrett used falsehoods in characterizing the thoughts of the "illegals" who favor the DREAM Act, while adopting the preferred language of its opponents.
Then, Jarrett uncritically covered what he called an "opposition paper" by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), repeating six of Sessions' 10 talking points without giving any airtime for someone to counter those points. The talking points were displayed on screen under the headline "Dream Act Warning."
Right after covering the memo, Jarrett uncritically repeated an assertion by the conservative Heritage Foundation that the DREAM Act would "only encourage people to come here to the United States illegally." In fact, the House and Senate versions prevent those who enter the U.S. after the bill is enacted from gaining legal status from it.
Jarrett did not give proponents of the bill equal time to promote their views, only making the vague assertion that "backers of the bill, though, insist that it outlines a very rigorous process for legalization and that it is hardly amnesty."

We just found out that our Mandy has Diabetes. We may have to put her down next week. They are family members. Hope everything comes out well for you.
I came home to an empty house tonight and found out, only a few minutes ago, that my parents rushed Lily off to the emergency vet. She was turning circles and screaming. The vet thinks she may have had a stroke. Me and my mom are staying up until midnight to call and get the blood work results as soon as they are available. I'll keep you updated.
We just found out that our Mandy has Diabetes. We may have to put her down next week. They are family members. Hope everything comes out well for you.
Oh, no. One of my grandpa's dogs, Heidi, had diabetes. They didn't need to put her down right away, so there's hope.
It's so hard. My first dog, right before Lily, lived 15 years and just sort of fell apart a few years ago. I ended up being the one talking sense into my family and begging them to put her down. I never thought I'd be strong enough. But it never did stop hurting. I grew up with her. And it was tough letting Lily in. My mom even trained Lily to do things my dog used to do, like run to me to comfort me when I was sad. Well, the first time she did it I threw something at her and went out of my mind. I feel bad for that now.
Sorry, I'm rambling. Lily's only four, she's been with us two years. And she's my mom's dog. I'm not sure who I'm more worried about, Lily or my mom.
We just talked to the vet. Nothing strange showed up in the blood test and they are sending her to her normal vet tomorrow. She's still going in circles and they think it is something in the spine. The vet is leaning further away from a stroke. They're going to do x-rays to see if maybe it is a spinal infection. But "neurologist" keeps getting mentioned. We're hoping for an infection that can be cured and nothing too serious. If it means a lot of pain for the long term or can't be cured, mom is going to put Lily down. Mom's really down about it, thinking the worst and assuming Lily's end is near. So I am very much hoping it is something the vet can fix. This vet managed to give my last dog an additional five years of quality life where everyone else just wanted to put her down because she was old. So I'm putting a lot of faith in this guy right now. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, we're hoping it's just an infection or less. And besides, I'm really not sure what it'll do to my mom if the worse shows to be true.
Prayers said. Let us know how she does.
Prayers for you.
Watching a dog in pain is one of the hardest things to do.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Prayers and good Vibes headed your way.
Mom brought Lily home today. She is still far too drugged up for them to run any tests to verify a stroke, but it seems a stroke is highly possible. Lily is paralized on her left side. She's unable to walk on her own, so my father carries her outside and we hold her up with towels so she can do her business. I hand fed her this evening and she wasn't managing to swallow most of it. And she only knew the food was there if it moved suddenly (like rolling in my hand).
It was promising though to see her get excited when I came home. She was in her little bed in the middle of the living room and her tail was wagging wildly when I came in. She even tried to stand up. She is able to roll herself over, which the doctor thought she wouldn't be able to do and we'd have to do it for her. But her left legs both curl under when we stand her up and sort of drag along. Her right legs are over compensating for the left.
I sat down tonight and scratched her all over (she's a very itchy dog and she can't scratch herself) and her eyes rolled back in her head. She also smiled. Yes, our dog can smile. LOL! Her eyes are still bright, too, and she is obviously trying to fight this.
The vet says she'll never be the dog she was ever again. Her days of running laps around the house with me are over and she probably won't be able to roll in the grass anymore. And the part that will really hurt her is she can't play with the kids in the neighborhood anymore. But they think if we keep at her leg excersises we'll have her walking again in a few weeks. I may be able to take her down the park again next summer if all goes well.
I'll keep you updated. She still has the hook up for an IV in and she is expected back at the doctor on Monday I believe. Her vet doesn't think she needs a neurologist, so that's good. But we'll know for sure what happened in a few days, I hope anyway.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. If you think of it, please keep her in them for a while.
Thanks for the update and consider it done.
Hoping and praying things work out for your little friend.
Hope everything works out for the best.
Ma'am: for you "Lily" and the family; Prayers are the order of today.
My prayers are with you. The hardest part about loving a pet is to know when it's time to lay them to rest. I feel if they are going to live in pain or their quality of life is no longer good, then it's our responsibility to do the right thing. I pray for you to have that wisdom and only you will know when that is.
If and when that time comes you will have such good memories. I'm in my office and have pictures of four dogs that were a big part of my life. Each with their own personalities and goofyness. Each one has touch me in a way to make me a better person. I am spending most of my time right now with Mandy and she knows it's her time. It's so dam hard. I have another dog that should live another 6 years. That will be it for me because I'm getting up there in age and any new dog will outlive me and I don't want that.
Enjoy ever minute you can with them.
I was, shockingly, the one who made the call with Poochanne. I think, in their own way, they tell you. Poochanne was sort of rolling around the floor, she even rolled down the hallway to greet me when I came home from work. But when I bent down and looked in her eyes, I told my parents it was time to say to say goodbye.
With Lily, it isn't her time yet. She is fighting way too hard. This little girl is surprising us all, even the doctor. I don't think the vet believed my mom when they spoke on the phone today. Apparently, my parents came home from Sunday breakfast this morning and Lily walked out into the kitchen to greet them. She sort of drags her left side and walks in circles towards the right, but my parents about fainted when they saw she'd gotten up and walked to them. Tonight she walked about three feet toward the steps after her last wee of the night outside. I got her to eat some cheese tonight, she seems to have more control over her tongue when drinking, and things are generally looking alright. She has a lot of fight in her, that little one.
Ma'am: the resiliency takes us aback at times. When we see some of the darkest of times the 'word' comes to mind. Ma'am; again we think of you and the family with a "Lily"
"Cheese" is good
Lily is spending another night at the hospital. She's scheduled for an MRI and possible spinal tap in the morning. The doctor suspects a stroke is the cause, but they are hoping for an infection of some sort.
Family doesn't appear to be holding together too well right now. There seems to be a major difference in opinion on Lily, but I'm not going to get into that here. And thus far, mom will not accept my help with payments. She was very aggressively against it today, which ended up in something for another thread. But I will still try to break her down and accept my help where I can afford it.
Anyway, we will hopefully bring her home again tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully very soon we'll know what happened and how to treat it if possible. The doctor gave a lot of things it could be and some were scary. Brain tumor is possible. If so, Lily will probably not be coming home.
P.S. Teaching vet schools are scary. They give way too much info. We learned that a lot of fluid in the brain and spine can cause a vaccum which "could suck the brain out of the skull a little." Thanks. Needed that. Like a hole in the head.
I forgot to tell you the results. Sorry! It was confirmed that Lily did indeed have a stroke. She also has a possible thyroid condition which may have lead up to it and would also explain her weight gain and loss which seems to jump up and down like a yo-yo.
She is doing very well. We're very proud of her. She isn't circling as much, but she is still doing it some. And she is still walking into walls and our legs every so often. She isn't very sure footed on non-carpeted areas, either. She can get down the steps, but not back up them, so we're all carrying her around still. But she is starting to get some of her senses back. She can see us from both eyes now and her smell is back. My father peeled a banana this evening in the kitchen and she smelled it two rooms away, which caused her to trot out and skid across the kitchen floor trying to get at the banana. But the best part was that tonight when I tickled her back left foot she kicked me, which meant she can feel it again. He back feet are very ticklish and she hasn't felt me tickling her left foot since the stroke. Tonight she actually kicked me, so we're thrilled.
Thanks for the prayers, all. They seem to be working!
We had to put down our lab bauer because of lymphoma. The begginning is the worst part of the experience

KPL is undertaking a strategic planning process with the help of Sandra Nelson, a nationally known library strategic planner. The process will help us identify service priorities and the allocation of resources based on those priorities.
In these times of declining resources, public institutions need to determine what services the community needs and expects from them, what services are best left to others, what services are of lesser importance.
Our process will involve the public through a "Community Planning Committee," our board, and our staff. It will result in a recommendation to our board for library service priorities. After the priorities have been approved, the staff will work on writing goals and objectives and the specific activities to accomplish them. It will be about a three to four month process.
This is a challenge, but also an opportunity as we look to the next three to five years. I'll share periodic updates here on the director's blog and in Link, our quarterly newsletter.

"Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness." Proverbs 16:31
Remember when we were little and we were asked our age? We would usually reply, "I'm 5 ½" or "I'm almost six," rounding up because being older made us feel important and "big". Now instead of important and big, it just makes us feel old and we find ourselves hanging onto the current number until the very last second…."No, I'm not thirty-nine! I'm only thirty-eight. I won't be thirty-nine for another two hours, 7 minutes and 32 seconds." Read the rest of this entry »

AMES, IOWA — The use of cover crops on Iowa farm fields is growing. Cover crops benefit the soil by slowing erosion, helping with nutrient management, and building organic matter.
To help farmers understand how cover crops work and the best management practices for including them in rotations, Iowa Learning Farms has developed several educational resources. Numerous ILF field days and workshops across Iowa offer techniques and pointers from farmers and cover crop experts. More workshops are planned for 2014.
A new video, "Cover Crops: Farmer Perspectives," is now available from Iowa Learning Farms. This video features seven Iowa farmers who use cover crops on their agricultural fields. They offer perspectives on four cover crop topics: why they grow cover crops; how to get started, seeding methods and management; growing cover crops for seed; and grazing cover crops.
The goal of the video is to provide those interested in adding cover crops with lessons learned by other farmers, and help them possibly avoid some of the "rookie" mistakes when trying cover crops.
"From our experience hosting field days and talking with farmers, we know that the farmer-to-farmer dialogue is the most effective. Farmers want to hear from others with experience," said Nathan Stevenson, an ILF team member. He oversaw the production of the video along with ILF team member Liz Juchems. Anderson Production Services handled the filming and editing.
Featured farmers include: Gary Nelson, Webster County; Barry Kusel, Carroll County; Tim Smith, Wright County; Jeremy Gustafson, Boone County; Larry Haren, Webster County; Rick Juchems, Butler County; and Wade Dooley, Marshall County.
In 2011, ILF produced a cover crops video, "Adding a Cover Cop to a Corn-Soybean Rotation," featuring cover crop expert Sarah Carlson with Practical Farmers of Iowa. Both videos are on the ILF YouTube channel, along with all the ILF videos.
All Iowa Learning Farms videos are available on DVD by request at no cost. To request a DVD, contact ILF by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; be sure to include which DVD you are requesting and a mailing address. Or write to Iowa Learning Farms, 219A Davidson Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011. For more information about Iowa Learning Farms, visit the website: www.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/.

http://kotaku.com/sony-announces-gam...now-1496385001In addition to PlayStation platforms, most 2014 U.S. models of Sony's BRAVIA® TV*2 lineup will support PS Now. Eventually the service will expand beyond PlayStation platforms and Sony devices, allowing users to stream PlayStation games on numerous other Internet-connected devices.
SCE's vision for PS Now is to enable users to instantly enjoy a wide range of full games on the Internet-connected consumer electronics devices they use every day. The accessibility of PS Now means, for example, that PS4 users in the living room can continue playing a game on a PS3 system in their bedroom. Or PS Vita users can enjoy instant access to a game wherever there's Wi-Fi connectivity, such as outdoors, then can switch to a supporting BRAVIA® TV's big screen and play the same game after arriving home.
PS Now will offer choice to gamers with how they want to access content. Gamers can rent by title for specific games they are interested in, or they can choose a subscription that delivers additional value with the ability to explore and play many games available across a wide variety of genres. In addition, the service will support many popular PSNSM features such as online multi-player, Trophies, and messages.
"We are thrilled to deliver entertainment experiences only possible from PlayStation through our new streaming game service," said Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "PS Now will allow users to engage in the world of PlayStation, whether they're existing fans or have never owned a PlayStation platform."
During the 2014 International CES held in Las Vegas from January 7, attendees can visit the Sony booth to have a hands-on experience with the PS Now service for the first time ever. Attendees can enjoy four blockbuster PS3 titles, BEYOND: Two Souls, God of War: Ascension, The Last of Us and Puppeteer from SCE Worldwide Studios, on PS Vita or BRAVIA® TV.
Prior to the official launch, SCE will begin a beta program on PS3 systems in certain regions of the United States from the end of January. Additional information about PS Now will be available at http://us.playstation.com/playstationnow.
tl;dr, looks like (at least some) PS3 games will be playable on PS4 now. Not quite sure how they'll handle games you already own on PSN or on disc, but pretty neat to see them get the ball rolling on this so soon. I figured it'd be one of those things that kinda just died out as the PS4 gained popularity, but now it seems it'll be available on a multitude of devices...just thought I'd share :]

do all the HK lower g3/mps/usc/ump take same fire control groups?
Printable View
do all the HK lower g3/mps/usc/ump take same fire control groups?
No. The modernized "plastic fantastic" UMP and such use totally different lowers and internals.
The "old style" G3/MP5/HK33, etc. generally all accept the same type of lower assembly, the .308 rifles have a longer "tail" on the back because the stock mount is longer and is held with 2 pins. The 9mm and .223 variants have only one stock pin and are shorter back there. They interchange as a unit otherwise, and the shorter ones work fine on the .308 rifles. The only internal differences are the ejector is caliber specific and some calibers used a different hammer and/or spring, so those need to be changed out if the caliber is changed.
The one exception is the MP5K and SP89 lowers, they do not have a tail at all and use a pin at the upper rear of the lower instead, unique to those firearms. Internals are the same though.
Now, there are several different varieties of "old style" lowers. The standard one found on most older rifles is the metal "SEF" type that used a separate plastic grip on a stamped metal lower. The internal FCG box was the same on all these, Three positions, Safe, Economical, and Fun! (safe/semi/full)
Later versions used an all plastic one piece lower that was injection molded over a sheetmetal liner. They used the same SEF type box inside, but the selector was longer to compensate for the thicker sides of the lower. These had the finger groove grips similar to the stamped ones.
Now we come to the burst lowers, the ones with 4 or more positions and a different internal setup. The burst lowers use internal detents in the FCG box, so the outside of the lower is smooth sided. Different selector, they are also ambi models with a selector on each side. There were two versions of the burst FCG box, one had the ratchet mech in front, the other in the rear. Dunno if they interchange or not, but the rear mounted ones are the easiest/only ones to use with a registered auto sear. These usually have the smooth grip assembly, commonly called the "navy" type.
There are literally dozens of variations in the "old style" HK lowers and internals, especially in the burst pack lineup. Basically, as long as you buy a "matched set" of lower and internal box you can get it to work on any of the old style HK models.
next question I got a stripped metal lower mp5 can i use Cetme internal on it. I want to use it as the basis for a tube gun
Im trying to be cheap
The whole internal trigger pack will fit in as a unit, but the individual parts inside a CETME pack are totally different, as is the semi auto only conversion. From what I understand, CETME US made and semi auto conversion parts are scarce right now, while the HK stuff is everywhere.
Be aware, any gun that can accept an HK/CETME type lower will need the front mounting point made as a shelf like on the semi auto HK91, the original G3/MP5 type front push pin attachment allows an unmodified full auto unit to mount and the resulting gun would most likely be considered full auto by ATF even if no full auto parts were present. The lower must also be converted to semi auto only BEFORE it is modified to attach to the semi auto shelf styled receivers. A full auto pack modified to fit a semi auto shelf mount is considered a conversion device all by itself and is a machine gun even if there is no gun it can fit present.
so whats best place to find a trigger ack assembly?
Robert RTG has the G3 packs for $85, you will also need the selector @$5.
These have the .308 specific ejectors, since you are building a tube gun you should be able to make it work by figuring it into your bolt design. MP5 specific stuff is getting harder to come by and is very expensive:
thanks I saw those spanish sub guns in SGN love to try my hand at it. probably should have looked for a cetem trigger group fist would have saved $$$$. If I remember a few years back these items were going for like 30 bucks times change!
You might also look into buying a whole rifle kit and parting out the stuff you don't need. Back in the day I bought a bunch of those $100 HK kits from FAC and parted them out on Ebay in those wonderful days before they banned black rifle parts. I dunno why, but people on there were willing to pay about twice that when broken down into sub-assemblies. I actually built my rifle and picked up a set of spares for free simply by cherry-picking what I needed from about a dozen kits and selling off the rest. The profit paid for my HK receiver and a lot of other FAL stuff I was into at that time. Nowdays the kits prices are up there where turning a profit is almost impossible, but the CETME kits are still fairly cheap enough you might break even.

UNC-Virginia Postgame Quotes
North Carolina Head Coach Roy Williams
Opening statement
"I was really proud of Reggie (Bullock). The last two days we have tried to cut back his practice time. He had a flu bug or virus and felt terrible the last two days. I love the way he competed. Guarding Joe Harris is not easy. He can really play; he can really shoot the ball. You can't let those kind of players stare at you and pull up right in front of your face like we did two possessions in a row. I love Reggie's effort. Needless to say, P.J. (Hairston) was knocking in some shots, but again the play that I liked was his offensive rebounding more than anything. James Michael (McAdoo) rebounded for us. Marcus (Paige) gave us some big plays and kept us in the game early in the game when it was so ugly. I talked to the team at halftime and a lot of teams will make a half court shot at the end of the half and think that gives them momentum. Early in the second half we were just hoping they would miss and they helped us by missing a few shots. In the timeouts I told the team 'let's not try to win this game by hoping they miss, let's try to do a better job of guarding.' It's hard to say that we did a better job when they shoot 55% for the game, but I think we did. It's a good feeling right now and we needed to have a good feeling in the locker room after playing at Miami and at Duke in the last few days."
The impact of a smaller lineup but still managing to get rebounds
"That was huge for us today. One time James Michael shot the ball from the baseline and we had nobody to get the board, and I said, 'Guys, you small guys that like this small lineup, I can not do that if you guys aren't getting to the board when James Michael shoots. We can't tell him not to shoot. He can't be our only rebounder'. So the rebounding part I think is the most crucial part of the game. For us, two games in a row, P.J. has done a great job on the backboards. We took a bad shot late in the game from the corner and Reggie got an offensive rebound for us then. I think both those guys got two offensive rebounds a piece."
On seven players having an assist today and the team sharing the ball
"Fear. I think our guys are intelligent. When we play poorly we go back and show it to them on the tape. If you're not passing the ball, not sharing the ball, you're not going to be a very good basketball team. Dexter (Strickland) and Marcus set the tone. Reggie is so unselfish. We have to play to our strengths and we are better off moving the ball and moving the ball, and then driving to the basket."
Differences between the last game at Virginia and todays game
"We made shots. It's that simple. We were getting a couple of stops here and there. Coaching is overrated. When you make shots the game looks a lot easier."
On whether Coach Roy Williams will stick with the short lineup
"I don't know, if you score 29 points that's not a very good reason to keep you in the game. It does give better spacing. I tell you what I'm proud of Desmond (Hubert). He played one minute and had 3 deflections and stopped two baskets in one minute.
UNC Player Quotes
P.J. Hairston
On his career-high 29 points
"I'm just being aggressive. I'm in the starting lineup now. I don't get a chance to spectate the other team, but now I just know I have to come out with an intensity to compete against the other team. I just have to find out what the opponent's weaknesses are and contribute."
On the small lineup that the team has been employing
"With us being small, it opens up lanes for drivers and it opens up lanes for the guards to slash. It gives James Michael [McAdoo] one-on-one opportunities with other big men. Obviously, because with him playing the five, a true center is going to be playing against him and he [McAdoo] has the quickness advantage against the other guy."
Marcus Paige
On his confidence
"Yeah, I feel pretty confident. We were playing at home against a really good team so we had to bring it right away. I've had a couple below-average games the last couple games, so I think I just needed to step up a little bit and provide a boost in our play. I think I did a good job of that today."
On the play of P.J. Hairston
"He's playing really well right now. I think that getting the start boosted his energy level and his focus. He's hitting the boards, he's making shots and taking charges. When he plays like that it helps everybody else out and we are a tough team."
Dexter Strickland
On Hairston joining the starting lineup
"It relieves pressure off of everybody. Just his ability to shoot, get to the rack, and get rebounds. It gives us the opportunity to run fast on offense...The way he has been playing I'm not surprised, but he deserves it. Hopefully we can keep playing like this and continue to win games...[Roy Williams] knew that it would be a mismatch on the offensive end; four men trying to guard P.J. [Hairston] would be a hard decision."
On the need to win this game
"Me and Reggie [Bullock] told the guys that we have to win this game; that this is a mandatory win. Every game is a mandatory win, but this one especially. I think my guys did a great job tonight."
Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett
Opening Statement
"First, hats off to Carolina and the way they shot the ball and the way (P.J.) Hairston played. I said it was a day for the "H" boys, Joe Harris and Hairston in terms of shooting the ball, you could see it. They hit some shots that were very tough to guard and did a good job. But for us to have a chance to be competitive or successful in this environment, there's a few constants that have to be there. And you just look at the stat sheet and you're ability to first of all, you know, take care of the ball and not turn it over, and then you're ability to one and done them. Keep them off the offensive glass. I think they had 16 points off of turnovers and 13 on the offensive glass. So those are just things where it's got to start, and we were not sound in those areas. They exploited some weaknesses that we had. Started the game well and played it early but got away with how we needed to play in this environment to have a chance."
On P.J. Hairston
"He's been on a tear, I think except for the Duke game, he's been playing terrific, shooting the ball. We tried to use I think it was Justin first and Justin was a little reactive on him. We said they're going to shoot the catch. That's what we talked about a lot building up to this game in our practices, they're going to drive the catch, shoot the catch. That's what they do and if you're not on them, on the catch, and bothering their shots, I mean, if they're hitting them with a hand in the face then okay, but they got too many where we didn't have a hand in the face. And we tried to even lock onto him, but they do have other guys, but he was really good tonight."
On Joe Harris' Early Foul Trouble
"That hurt us. I tried to play Darion (Atkins) in the first half and he was hobbling. He played a little bit more at the end, hopefully that will help him get some confidence. But, because of our injury situation, we're a little thin in the interior spot with Mike (Tobey) being out and Darion not full strength. So, it I think affects us on the defensive end in some ways too."
On Defense
"Offense is going to come and go. You're not always going to shoot it that close, so you better be rock solid defensively. That's what we work on, that's how we prepare. To see that kind of get away from us is something that I think we really have to learn from. Again, a team with this kind of talent though, they have some young guys, they certainly have guys capable, and I think it goes hand in hand. Absolutely you want to play opportunistically, you want to take the right guys' shots when they're there and transition, or open ones, but there is a rhythm that you have to get into of breaking them down and making them work. And then coming down defensively and hopefully being set and in front of them where they have to work too, and it kind of went back and forth."

What can the U.S. do to thwart the nuclear ambitions of its allies? Looking to the past, the U.S. was able to leverage its alliance commitments to stop some friendly states from going nuclear. Looking to the future, Iran's possible nuclear acquisition and China's military ascendancy may tempt key U.S. allies in the Middle East and East Asia to consider reducing their reliance on American security guarantees by acquiring independent nuclear deterrents. When planning a response to the nuclear pursuit by these friends, the U.S. can draw lessons from the successes and failures of its nonproliferation efforts against its Cold War-era allies. This Project on Managing the Atom seminar will be led by Eugene Kogan, Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow, International Security Program/Project on Managing the Atom. Coffee and tea provided. Please join us - Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.

Review: Boots No.7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes
I was in Target when I spotted these Boots No. 7 4 in 1 Quick Thinking Wipes ($6.99). They are gentle, fragrance free wipes that remove impurities, tone and moisturize the skin, all while taking off water-proof eye make-up! Vitamin pro-B5 plus extracts of witch hazel and fennel help cleanse pores, moisturize and leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and clean.
I don't absolutely hate washing my face at nighttime, but it's not something I particularly look forward to either. It kind of depends on my mood. Since purchasing these, I find myself reaching for them nightly. It doesn't matter if you're only wearing a little tinted moisturizer, or an entire face full of shellacked clown paint, these little wipes will take it all off. 30 wipes/6.99 = 21 cents/wipe. Not bad. Not bad at all.
What's your favorite brand of Face Wipes? Is there one you keep going back to?

Fox's Megyn Kelly Continues To Ignore Romney's False Claims
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Fox News' Megyn Kelly hosted Rep. Joe Wilson to attack the Obama campaign for calling out dishonest claims by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, contrasting the campaign's treatment of Romney with the backlash Wilson received following his infamous "you lie" outburst in 2009. But not once during the interview did Kelly try to ascertain whether the Obama campaign's assertions about Romney were true -- or examine Wilson's 2009 accusation that President Obama was lying.
In fact, many of Romney's claims during the October 3 debate were indeed false -- just as Wilson's charge was, as well.
On today's America Live, Kelly suggested that Obama and his team were "applying a different standard" to Romney than "they demanded" of Wilson and that "this liar, liar, liar theme" was working in part because their accusations weren't made on the floor of the House. She went on to suggest that there is a "double standard" in the way Obama wants to be treated and the way his team treats others.
Wilson agreed, dismissing his 2009 outburst as "spontaneous" and an example of him being "passionate about issues." He went on to say that he later apologized for "interrupting." Kelly simply referred to his accusation as a "breach of decorum."
In September 2009, during Obama's health care address to a joint session of Congress, Wilson shouted "you lie" after Obama stated that it's false to claim that health care reform would insure undocumented immigrants. As PolitiFact noted, Wilson's statement was false.
Indeed, the Senate framework for the health reform law, on which Obama based his remarks, stated that "no illegal immigrants will benefit from the health care tax credits." The final health care law clearly states that "[n]othing in this subtitle or the amendments made by this subtitle allows Federal payments, credits, or cost-sharing reductions for individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."
By contrast, many of Romney's statements during the presidential debate, were provably false. In fact, no less than seven claims by Romney were misleading or outright falsehoods -- and every single one could be traced to Fox News. Is it too much to ask of a purported "straight news" show doing a segment on dishonest claims to check the accuracy of those claims?
This is the second time in a week that Kelly tried to equate the Obama campaign's accurate and factual assertions about Romney's false claims with Wilson's false accusation.

My wife basically said the same thing when she heard about the ammo that DHS was buying. She felt that the gov was trying to tie up the ammo sales to prevent average citizens from getting more.
De facto gun control
How would a tyrannical leader of the United States impose strict new gun control on a resistant, well-armed citizenry without the approval of Congress and in spite of the constitutional prohibitions?
Ill tell you how.
He would have the government buy up all the arms and ammo leaving next-to nothing for local police departments and self-reliant citizens to fight over.
That is, quite possibly, part of the motivation for the Department of Homeland Securitys sudden, otherwise inexplicable buying binge for firearms Barack Obama would like to deny mere citizens and almost unimaginable quantities of ammunition that has left police departments so short of rounds they have been forced to stop target practice and rationed supplies of the most popular kinds of bullets.
If you doubt me, just go to your favorite local dealer of arms and ammunition and see whats available. Everywhere you look you will be limited to a few boxes of the ammo of your choice.
Yes, its true the public has been on a buying binge, too. That was precipitated by Obamas threats to ban broad new classifications of firearms and ammunition.
But now, on top of that, we learn that Homeland Security is buying billions of rounds of the very choicest ammunition.
What good are guns without ammo?
One of the things DHS could be doing is enacting de facto gun control.
Its a way for the government to achieve a monopoly on force something Americas founders feared and thought they put to rest when they approved the Bill of Rights, declaring self-defense to be one of the unalienable, God-endowed liberties of free men and women.
If Im right, keep your eye out for more of these bulk purchases by government. Ammunition manufacturers cant keep up with the demand much of it stimulated with your own taxpayer dollars.
Not only is Obama intent on taking more of your money, hes using it to deny you your right to self-defense and quelling any risk of armed resistance to his fast and furious gun grab.
Continued: De facto gun control
Black Blade: This is what I have always thought. The whole point of the DHS and other government agencies buying up billions of rounds is to tie ip ammunition manufacturing. There is no other conclusion possible with the exception of a complete takeover of The United States of America by force by the Obamunists. That is when you can slaugher every man, woman and child in this country several times over then it makes sense that this is about gun control or taking over the government from the people. Either way it's a very bad for all Americans.

Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
"to dry up the supply of these weapons over time."- D. FINESTINE
including ammo
Maybe its time that gun owners start an ammo building partys just as alot of us dowhen building our own guns. there are as we know alot of regulations on building your own weapons, but as far as Im aware of there are no restrictions on ammunition building parties, Hell me and several friends of mine used to do this some years back when I lived in the mid-west. But just remember no smoking while your making ammo! the results are one big BANG! that ya don't want....Doc
the irony is i am finding a lot of .40 for sale--LOL
I'd rather be a "has been" than a wannabe!

God, Guns and Guts made America free,
Lets keep all three.
Start stocking lead, primers, powder, brass, and bullet molds. Not a bad idea to have back-up press and dies as well.
Although I can't find 9MM, 40S&W, .223/5.56, 7.62X39 or .22LR ammo, the local stores still have .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 41 Magnum and 44 Magnum on the shelf. These are all revolver rounds. Si, I am glad that I do have a few revolvers. If I get low on that ammo, I can still find it at this time. So, everybody should have a few revolvers in common calibers.

The format of your announcement, which can be flat, postcard, heart-shaped, folded, tri-folded, ornament or magnet, may also play a role in the formality of your card. Your preferences may help you choose a format. If you want something functional, a magnet or ornament may be best, but if whimsy is more your style, you may want a heart-shaped announcement.

Architecture might not work anymore. That is to say, the idea that architecture is the act of producing functional machines that ideally have some evidence of how they were made might be outdated. Truth be told, this notion of functional expression is a modernist one, and maybe it should fade away, like so many outdated ideas about and within the discipline. That might be especially necessary because so much of our current idiom is based on old-fashioned modes of production.
Factories these days are sheds housing fewer and fewer human workers and are usually far away. The loft, with its open structure meant to facilitate work, as well as the steel skeleton frame skyscraper with its cellular subdivisions meant for laboring clerks, have transformed into something more like the fluid spaces for new knowledge workers or upper-level income dwellers.
At a larger level, the heroic structures that once marked our landscape have given way to slick corporate icons or places of amusement.
In London, I noticed during a recent trip, the Battersea Power Plant is undergoing just such a transformation, and the new icons are geometric fragments such as the Shard or the Cucumber. In two of my most recent blogs, I marked the transformation of the inner city from a place of work into a place of play.
Now Ross Drouhat, in The New York Times, notes the potential disappearance of work altogether from our landscape. Drouhat calls it a potential utopia, and I am reminded of the pleasure domes of the 1960s, such as either those the Archigram types produced, or Constant's New Babylon.
What will make this all come true is the exact technology that we once believed would liberate us, except not in the manner in which we once thought. Robots, connected computers, miniaturization, and etherization are taking the work out of both the social and the physical sphere. We can no longer see how things work, and our work consists of the barely perceptible tapping of our fingers—soon to be replaced, if Google has anything to do with it, by the flicking of our eyelids, no doubt.
Work is also becoming more social, as we gather in offices not so much to produce something (that we can do anywhere, on our laptop or PDA), as to meet and discuss machines, strategies, brands, ideas, or just the kind of gossip that forms us into that new unit of labor, the team. As a result, workplaces are becoming more like clubs or extended restaurants.
In my next few blogs (unless current events intervene), I want to discuss a few such spaces, including the one where I currently work. But I also want to raise the larger question of what architecture should mean or do in this context. If we look toward our buildings to not only physically, but also culturally frame our relation between the world around us and other human beings, what models are we developing for a world in which work literally and figuratively disappears? Does architecture just become a collage of signs telling us where we are or where to go? Is it a scaffolding or network within which we hang our hammocks and construct our collective space? Is it a climate-controlled neo-Eden through which we wander freely? Or is it the kind of bloblike spaceship in which we all, freed from work, become blobs, as Wall-E promised? Architecture will have to find answers to these questions if it is to remain relevant.
Perhaps discipline and order, whether classical or modernist, are in order. Perhaps we should go with the (digital) flow. I prefer to think that we need to do something else, something that transforms leisure, comfort, consumption, and social relations into meaning. My work consists only of speculating and showing hopeful examples, so I leave the hard work of how up to the architects.

You're going to get various opinions on this one. I will say, "Not necessarily". There are some good dealers and deals to be found, but IMO, they are few and far between. There are many out there prey on the fact that people did not do their homework for price, do not know specially what they are looking for, and think that just because they are buying at a show they are getting a good deal. When I was looking to get my last gun (XD9SC) I did my research, knew what I would pay locally and on-line, then hit the show. The vendors at the show were anywhere from $50 to $100 higher than I could get locally, and they wouldn't budge on price; and they didn't have to because there were lines of "suckers" just waiting to buy. I will not go to our local gun show any more because it is a waste of time, money, and gas.
Before you go to a show you must:
1) Know what you are looking to buy but do not have the attitude that you HAVE to buy something
2) Know how much the gun will cost you locally and online (remember to factor shipping and FFL fees for online purchases)
3) Go with cash as dealers are willing to deal better with cash and for some, the price posted is the cash price and they charge you an additional 3% for credit

T-Mobile's Third-Quarter Lobbying Boost
In the third quarter of 2011, with its proposed merger with AT&T facing opposition from the Justice Department and suspicion [1] from the FCC, T-Mobile spent $1,070,910 in lobbying the federal government, according to recently released disclosure reports [2]. This represents a 6.5 percent increase from the second quarter of 2011, and a whopping 43 percent increase from the same period in 2010 [3].
Media Matters documented [4] the multimillion-dollar lobbying blitz AT&T and T-Mobile initiated in April, after the proposed merger of the two companies was announced. In the second quarter of 2011, the two telecom giants spent nearly $6 million on lobbying and deployed a phalanx of former Congressmen and Congressional staffers to push for the merger.
Despite the crush of cash and influence, in late August the Justice Department sued to block the merger [5], citing anti-competitive concerns. The move sparked a backlash [6] against the DOJ from conservatives [7] and the right-wing media [8], and a countervailing burst of support from progressive advocacy groups.
T-Mobile, while not having the clout of AT&T, is still bringing significant resources to bear and spending lots of money to secure approval of the merger. In the first three quarters of 2011, T-Mobile spent $2,766,100 on lobbying -- well more than the $1,737,175 the company had spent at the same point in 2010.
AT&T's third-quarter lobbying expenditures have not yet been made public. Even when they are released, however, they will give an incomplete reckoning of how much AT&T has spent to gain support for the T-Mobile deal. A new report [9] from the Center For Public Integrity detailed the "unusual" support AT&T is receiving from small charitable organizations that received substantial donations from AT&T.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a textbook, some aspects of which I've presented on at various English teaching conferences in North America, called Catalyst: A Conversation Taskbook for English Language Learners and I have a question about the use of Canadianized spellings. Though the book would probably be of equal utility to both British and North American instructors of English I'm wondering if I should Americanize the spellings to be consistent and cater to what is probably the bigger market [due to size, proximity and influence] or should I damn the torpedoes and stick with the Canadian hybrid even though doing so could have an unconscious but adverse impact on sales in both of these larger markets. The Canadian market is important but not critical from a purely economic POV.

All I ever wanted from the government was to be left alone.
I love it when they have some budget controversy and they shut down the Federal government for a month, and none of of notices any difference... you'd think they be worried that we'd find out we do fine without them...
If you get sick and have to have medical care, most of the treatments you would get come from government financed research.
My education was paid for by crawling through the jungles of Nam. I don't have medical ins. I pay for what my VA doesn't furnish. I feel like I paid dearly for the part VA pays.
You can keep your socialism.
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FDIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe is home from work.He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
Do you think it's a bad deal if you actually have to WORK for it?
9:00pm, Joe crawls in bed, pulls his 9mm out from under his pillow and kisses it.
The banks just proved that without government regulation, they will destroy the financial system
The internet we are posting on right now was created by government
Government is the way civilized people band together to protect themselves from all the "everyone elses" in the world.
And I think that if the wealthy (regardless of how they got that way) pay a fair tax rate, we can afford to supply a decent level of education and health care to all citizens. That's what I think.

did you start the wicd network manager with

My Samsung DVDrom drive is usb and is able to boot windows XP CD, windows 7 DVD, and others. I booted the backtrack Live DVD ISO on my laptop and it worked, just not on my PC.
My computer is Gigabyte motherboard, AMD quad core CPU 3.0mhz, 4 gb ddr3
The image above is a screenshot of the error I get trying to Live Boot Backtrack 4 from startup. I am able to Live Boot Backtrack4 from a USB stick but not DVD... Not sure why, and I don't know what the error means..
Well I run my backtrack 4 from a separate hard drive but I have a problem with the Wicd wifi manager software. It doesn't load when I click it. I try to wait it out but still nothing. I would try to re-install Wicd wifi manager, but I can't do that because I can't get my wifi internet working in backtrack yet. <<<<<<<< WICD PROBLEM RESOLVED NOW THANKS, BUT NEED HELP ON ISSUE ABOVE
did you start the wicd network manager with
??Code:/etc/init.d/wicd start
After startx you'll need to run wicd-client for the taskbar icon to appear.
In regards to boot error, appears you are getting stuck in grub, so I imagine it's not loading the kernel or is pointing to incorrect HD(hd0,0) or (hd0,1) due to dvd drive being USB and not IDE, SCSI or SATA. Look into using command-line grub to troubleshoot.
because the USB DVD drive is sort of over USB, like a file system embedded within a file system, whereas the USB flash drive is more or less a direct partition(file system). It's somewhat difficult to explain if you've never needed to configure/install grub.

Oh, to add to this, there is something important that really screws you up with grub if you do not know about it first. grub naming convention
What do you want to do with the liveDVD? Install BT to disk or just use BT as a liveDVD?

PITTSBURGH–The University of Pittsburgh hosted its annual Scholar-Athlete Awards Breakfast to honor 333 student-athletes and 53 members of the dance and cheer squad for their outstanding academic achievements during the 2013 spring and fall semesters. The awards presentation was held in the Connolly Ballroom of Alumni Hall on the Pitt campus.
Pitt Alumni Association President Jane Allred, an accomplished marketing professional, was among the special guests. Career and Life Skills Coordinator Lisa Auld served as master of ceremonies.
"Not only do you accomplish the academic side of student life, but you also train, you travel, you compete and you get up and do it all over again the next day," said Allred in addressing the honorees. "You are that combination of mind, body and spirit that just doesn't settle for ordinary. You pursue excellence in all that you do. While we often admire your achievements on the field of competition, we don't often have the opportunity to honor your academic excellence. Today is that opportunity."
Pitt's Academic Support Services staff handed out "Blue" awards to those student-athletes who achieved grade-point averages between a 3.0 and 3.49 and "Gold" awards for those who earned between a 3.5 and 4.0.
In total, 179 student-athletes earned Blue Scholar-Athlete recognition, while 194 were Gold Scholar-Athlete honorees. Special recognition was given to 24 student-athletes who earned 4.0 GPAs.
"When I came here in 1996, we used to have this breakfast in a room half the size," Pitt Athletic Director Steve Pederson said. "We had about the same number of student-athletes, but we didn't have 333 student-athletes who achieved a 3.0 GPA or higher at one of the great universities in the country.
"We are so proud of each one of you, and I'm also grateful to our staff and our coaches. We have been able to assemble a group of coaches who understand that we are here to win championships, but we're going to do it the right way. When you leave here, we want you to be holding a degree from this great university, doing something that you love to do. So the next phase of your life will be greater than the last phase of your life and that's really the mission here."
Pederson also announced Pitt's Academic Team Awards. The women's swimming and diving team earned the overall Top Academic Team honor. The top achieving men's team was soccer, a distinction they earned for the fifth consecutive year. Women's volleyball earned the Most Improved Team award.
Pitt's 4.0 GPA honorees:

Need help locating aluminum shin tools,boot spikes,knee darts, and shoulder studs.
Need help locating aluminum shin tools,boot spikes,knee darts, and shoulder studs.
Which shin tools?
As far as I know three of the tools can be made from two found parts, the Paterson Squeege and the chemical stirrer both of which are plastic, this leaves just one possibly aluminium tool which is a directional mike I think, no doubt someone with more knowledge will correct me if I am wrong.
Darts, spikes and shoulder studs can sometimes be found for sale on this site and the found parts for the shin tools sometimes come up except the directional mike thingy.
Thank you for the info. I keep my eye on the threads
Mojo-Fett has sold complete patterson found parts ... he also makes machined aluminum reproductions of the stylus brush tubes.
I was lucky enough to find the Patterson tools on amazon.com
The fourth tool may be some type of microphone cylinder but its not yet identified. I just use an aluminum tube cut to the length of my shin pocket.
Both photo tools can be found on B&H photo, probably other sites too. That gives you almost 3 tools out of the 4.
Here's one for you
Amazon.com: Paterson Print Squeegee, #255: Electronics
hope the link works for you.
Here's the stir stick
Paterson Chemical Stirrer PTP245 B&H Photo Video
the squeegy can also be found on this site like WTFett said
Here is an image I made a few days ago with the shin tools used on most of the Boba Fett suits. I said 'most of the suits' because on some versions are just two or three of the shin tools.
The jetpack adjustment tool is not a valid shin tool, and as clonecollector said, there was a hint that the fourth shin tool was a part of a microphone, but was never proved, this is why a steel pipe is the best choice (in lack of proofs).
I actually just ordered both the squeegy and stir stick on amazon, with shipping it came out to about 56 bucks
My shin tools arrived, ordered these off of amazon, only problem is I had to have them shipped to my dad's house because the company wouldnt ship to my APO address.
Congrats for your aquisition! You have almost 3 shin tools, just need a steel pipe and 2 stylus brush. Can't wait to see the progress on those.
What item does the stylus brush pieces come from?
***NVM I found my answer. Michell Engineering****
Last edited by crow86; Mar 26, 2012 at 8:39 AM.
I went to Michell Engineering and I could not find the stylus brush pieces...need help.
I asked for help with my shin tools 03.19.12 and within 10 days I am ordering them. THANK YOU TDH.
LOL Im glad I now have these, but unfortunately they're about 5300 miles away from me right now lol, Ill have to wait until I get back to the states to "modify" them and create my actual tools. But when I do Ill be sure to post a thread and keep every one updated, but right now Im dying my flight suit and getting ready to mount my armor to the vest.

- She said they followed her 50 yards or more before losing interest. My daughter got stung playing by the car 100' away. I had gloves on and probably scraped 20-30 stingers off the gloves, smoke had little to no effect on them. On another note, if I squish the existing queen and let them raise a new one what are the chances the new queen will be like her mom?
In gloves poison stings alarm more attacking. It is soon bad.
.I tell what happened 32 years ago. Our second son was 3 month old and we were om summer cottage. A bee went into my wife's hair. She shrieked, dropped the baby down and run inside the door.Then door open and she shouted: TAKE BABY!

I've gotten a lot of requests for my unfinished Shin Tools. I guess a lot of people want to finish them and paint them the way they like and to have the satisfation of doing it themselves.
So I am going to do a limited run of unfinished tools in time for CIII. These tools are from my own molds and many members here can attest to thier quality. The tools will need some sanding and then painting and weathering. They are cast in a hard casting plastic that is really strong, and best of all there is no metal in them to set off metal detectors.
The sets will run $38.00 for the set of 4 tools shipped in the US (Sonic Beam weapon, Anti-Security Blade, Survival Knife, and Jet pack adjustment Tool).
Cutoff will be April 10th. PM me if interested. PayPal is accepted.
Thanks Guys!!
OK peeps Here are some pics....
This is the set of unfinished tools ($38.00 shipped)
Heres what they will look like after you Sand, paint, and weather them. (As of right now before CIII I cant offer the tools finished, this is just here for an example of how they look finished)

and you all thought i was gone for good…..
not yet…..i'm still here.
I've been wanting to show you some updated photos of our place here on Kauai……
since it's been a while…… we've done so much in the last year and a half to really make it
more like how we felt a beach home should suit us.
Creating a new style.
A style just for us.
In the last 1.5 years…..since we decided that Kauai was going to be our home for the time being….
i've been on the search for pieces that would define my style living on as island but not exactly doing
the whole island theme if you get my drift.
This condo was completely furnished and we are not really allowed to get rid of anything….
and over the last 1.5 years
{creating a style takes patience…..lots and lots of patience }
we've pretty much stored and shoved every piece of furniture
{other than the sofa's and the kitchen chairs which we haven't changed out yet}
in every single closet in this place and the open loft that is in the boys room…which is stuffed to the gills
with outdated lamps….nightstands….original kitchen table and so on and so forth.
Not an ounce of storage left……
but that is A-ok
because with it out of sight out of mind…..it has given me the push to style this place the way i wanted
and to make it feel like home to us.
Everything we have purchased for the place has either been
thrifted from one of the 5 thrift shops on the island
craigslist…..yard sale…..or gifted to us from friends….or i've made.
The only thing i've bought online…..were the living room rug and a hand painted sign…..
so with that being said……it is true…..you can furnish your place on a tiny budget and if you
can spare some time….you can do it without hitting any stores;-)
Our dining room table is the newest piece in the house…..
i've been wanting a farm table since the day we moved here.
I found it on Craigslist last week……it was listed for $500 which i thought was a great price for it…..
and considering i had gone into one of the only furniture shops on the island a few weeks ago
and found a farm table for twice the price……i knew i just had to have it.
i called and made an appt……and offered her $300.
She took it…..and the best part was…it came with the glass piece on top.
I had to pay a friends husband to pick it up for me….since it was on the other side of the island…
and now we have our farm table.
I celebrated with vodka.
That boat captains chair in the corner: yard sale
I made this hanging lamp out of a fishing net …..
Sofa table: Craigslist
Books: thrifted and yard sales
Driftwood sailboats: i made
This hand painted custom sign i had made from Between you and me
I painted the wall a turquoise….and the dresser is Craigslist.
I have yet to decide what color is at all i'm going to paint the dresser which stores
all the kids crapola and art/school supplies.
The rug below is the one i ordered….i bought it from Serena and lily.
The coffee table is made out of pallets……and hand made my a friend of mine.
The vintage arm chair in the corner is from a yard sale: $30.
One of the suitcases was given to me the other i found at a thrift shop.
The framed print of sea shells…..thrifted….and i painted the frame.
Plum curtains made for me by a friend.
The armoire that houses our tele and hides the kids crap…Craigslist….$40…
i kid you not.
I saw it pop up on Craigslist and sent bryan right over asap….
faster than you can say fine boxed wine.
It was listed for $50 but he offered $40……
they even helped him load it in the mini {van not cooper}
I painted it and called it a day.
This next photo is of our bedroom…..
i'll be showing that on the next blog post;)
as well as this loft area which sits upstairs and is used by the kids.

Yup. Rabbits, not even members of the same Family as rodents. (They're lagamorphs, along with pika and hyrax.)
Bummer since it's a nice idea.
Silly- and I mean that in the best possible way.
I think the contrast is too much- it looks to me like it's kind of plastered on the shirt.
Re: Kleinefant
Sort of looks like a Dr. Seuss character.
cengland0 wrote:Sort of looks like a Dr. Seuss character.
I definitely had Seuss in mind when I did the shading. In fact, I had Green Eggs And Ham open for reference. I find that method more satisfying than shading with color.
Ramyb, this is phenomenal! I'll definitely buy one when it prints! Love It!

Thanks I haven't done a design like this in a long time, and it was definitely a ton of fun to do. I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Very nice Mobius donut. My wife would love it. I'm just a dumb ol' business admin (finance) guy, but she has a degree in Math. 1 "B" in her entire educational career, and that's because she missed work while on a mission trip!
She delighted in telling me about the Mobius strip, and I'll admit, it's pretty interesting. The donut makes me think of the time she tried to explain topology to me, and told me that coffee mugs and donuts were topologically congruent!
Re: Impossibly Delicious

Hey, nice work! I knew it was yours just from the colors in the preview. Great use of contrast with the intense blue and orange.
That should result in a life time ban of the user who posted tried to do that! Not cool!
