It's down to Jaroslav Halak vs. Cam Ward in the battle to determine fantasy hockey's most frustrating goalie to own, and to see who advances to next week's semi-finals of the tournament to crown fantasy hockey's most frustrating player.
Jaroslav Halak
Cam Ward
It's down to Jaroslav Halak vs. Cam Ward in the battle to determine fantasy hockey's most frustrating goalie to own, and to see who advances to next week's semi-finals of the tournament to crown fantasy hockey's most frustrating player.
Voted for Ward. Halak has injury issues but at least when he plays his numbers are very good. Ward is in that sweet spot of injury prone/over hyped/shitty.

I voted for Halak because I'm past the point of wanting to own Ward at his previous perceived value. If this poll was done 2-3 years ago, when Ward's perceived value was much higher, then I would have voted for him. I wouldn't be as frustrated owning Ward now since I wouldn't be expecting much.
Ward is all over the map and got my vote.
Voted for Ward.

Stud or not, Carolina was/is not a good team and that factors in. St.Louis was/is a good team. When you are suppose to be the #1 on a good team and you can't get it done ... that's frustrating. Especially when day to day you can't even predict when Halak was going to play.

I voted for Halak simply because Cam Ward has never really been that good. He's got hot in the playoffs during his rookie season and led the Hurricanes to the Cup. Asides from that short run and one other season (10/11), he's been a below average NHL starter.
Ward for being a golden boy for so long and doing precisely zero to earn that mantle. In many ways, I wish he had lost his job to Justin Peters or Dan Ellis years ago. Remember how hot Dan Ellis got in his backup role In CAR a few years back? Ward can make anyone look elite by comparison.

Is the world falling apart before our very eyes? Killings, robberies and crime at every turn, immoral activities approved by our people and lawmakers, earthquakes in the news about everyday, people uprisings and talking about another unrest in the far east now. Geeze! What else could happen?
Scripture has been telling us this is going to happen. It will get worse before it gets better. And it will get better, that is the promise.
Actually there is absolutely nothing happening now that has not happened worse and repeatedly in the past.
It all just depends on how far back you're willing to look.

I don't believe we are at "End Times", but we do see what a out of control PC and Entitlement attitude has done.
There have to be some harsh and hard changes done on many levels to turn this around. Granted we see more and more quickly than in the past, but I still think we see more of what this "liberal/progressive" state of mind has gotten us.
All we can do is vote more realistic people into office and keep ourselves and our families safe with logical self defense.
This is not going to be a "Koum Ba Ya" ideal society...never was...never will be. BUT we do need to get many issues under control and "cleaned up". Time for the hard decisions to be made and DONE.

A coworker once explained to me the ideology that says that society is governed by four boxes and that the use of these boxes comes in order: soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. We've already had examples of where the ballot box has gone to the jury. I can't help but think that as partisan positions on various issues become increasingly rigid that we're too far from the fourth.

The crazy judges let mutts like LINKY>>>this<<<LINKY out on "lifetime probation, 5 years of supervised probation, and one year in "Hope House."
What is Hope House?
from an article about it:It's a freakin hotel... For a 20 year old who sexually used 2 different 15 year old girls. He's back behind bars now... on a paltry $7500.00 (who hoo ...cash only...) bond. This boy is lucky that I ain't the father of one of those two girls... And frankly, so's the judge...The Hope House is not a lock-up facility. The are no armed guards or prison bars. What residents experience during their court-ordered stays is a high level of supervision and treatment centered around finding work and observing rules.
The facility houses three types of residents. Parole work releases, OWI continuums and probationers. Residents are not under regular parole/probation supervision while at the facility.
Parole work releases are offenders whom the state parole board deems ready to leave prison, but whom require a structured environment before being released on full parole. The parole board generally assigns work releases to a minimum four-month stay while Hope House usually imposes a six-month maximum stay.
Those in the OWI continuum program are either second- or third-time (felony-level) offenders of Operating While Intoxicated laws. They undergo programming specific to substance abuse. Their general stay is six months.
Probationers assigned to the Hope House are deemed to be of high-risk for recidivism and in need of structure beyond a probation officer's supervision. This is part of the "intermediate sanctions continuum" that provides an alternative to revocation to state prison. Probationers are court-ordered for up to a year's stay, but may be transitioned back into the community earlier depending on progress in their program.
That's just PART of What in the world is going on in the world. It's just a small portion of it... The rest of it is much, much crazier...
It could be worse!

China, 1958 - 61
As many as 20 million people died in this famine. *
* We received the following response to this postSirs: I would ask that you consider re-characterizing the 20-30 million who died in China during the period 1959-61 as a political blunder rather than a famine. Famines are typically understood to be the result of diminished food production due to weather or other natural disasters. This was not the case in China. Food production was for the most part normal during this period. What changed was the desire of local cadre wanting to look good and reporting increased food production following Mao's politics of "right" practices. Mao's government simply took their share of the harvest, 50%. But since the reported harvest was in fact inflated, what resulted was the entire production being shipped to Beijing. This more accurately could be labeled Mao's Holocaust.
Peru, 1970
A 7.9 earthquake and resulting landslides killed about 66,000 in Northern Peru.
19 - Bangladesh, 1970

Officially 255,000 people died, and another 164,000 were severely injured. But others (unofficial, but perhaps more accurate?) estimate that about 655,000 perished. Some ninety per cent of the buildings were destroyed. It took at least ten years and massive investment to rebuild the city.
Africa, 1981 - 1984
Rivers and lakes dried up from the drought that had incredible impact on twenty African nations. During one season about 20,000 were starving to death EACH MONTH. 150 million were facing starvation if help didn't come right away. People from around the world began to respond to this crisis - but for hundreds of thousands of people, it was too late. . When combined with other relatively recent African famines, the figure is well over 1,000,000)Colombia, 1985

1 - Worldwide, every year
Malaria takes 2 to 5 million lives. *Iceland, 1707* "We had malaria defeated in the sixties thanks to DDT. Since Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" inspired the DDT ban, 60-70 million have died of malaria. It's hard to find anyone who cares more about a couple million deaths a year from malaria than about 4 birth defects a year that the use of DDT might cause." Arthur Henry
Smallpox killed more than 15,000 people (one-third of the population).
Caribbean, 1780
"The Great Hurricane" as it was known, hit the Caribbean in October 1780. It is still the most deadly Western Hemisphere hurricane on record. It killed some 22,000 people on the islands of Martinique, St. Eustatius, and Barbados...

Two thirds of the city burned down, and totally wiped out the downtown business district. Tens of thousands of people lost their homes and fled the city and an estimated 3000 people died.
American Midwest, eight year drought
During the Depression the American and Canadian Midwest experienced an eight-year drought. It ruined once-fertile soil, kicked up tremendous dust storms and caused thousands of deaths. The lack of rain left huge areas of farmland without any water. The topsoil was taken up by the wind, creating huge dark clouds of dust that seemed to turn day into night. People died of starvation and lung diseases caused by breathing in the dust-filled air. Thousands of farmers had to declare bankruptcy. 350,000 people deserted the region. It was the worst drought in North American history.
China, 1991
China suffered another massive flood from exceptionally heavy rains. At one point, 40 centimeters fell in two days. The worst of the flooding occurred at Tai Hu, a lake at the mouth of the Yangtze River. This important industrial and agricultural region was devastated. The economic loss and the human toll were costly - over 2,000 people died. In one province, a million homes were swept away. Overall, the flood seriously impacted the lives of over 200 million people.
Florida and Louisiana, 1992
The most costly hurricane in American history was Andrew. 58 people were killed and so many homes and shops were destroyed, the total cost was at least $27 billion. In terms of dollars, this ranks as the worst natural disaster.
USA and Canada, 1993
Because of the media it became known as "The Storm of the Century" - from snow blizzards of arctic air clashing with the warm air from the gulf of Mexico, combined with strong winds and freezing temperatures, it essentially paralyzed the Eastern part of the U.S. Roofs collapsed, power lines fell, all major airports closed down... Summary of the damages: 243 deaths, $3 billion.
Global, about 3200 BC
"Considerable evidence exists for a major global paleo-climate event that happened around 3000 B.C. It appears to have affected sea-level changes, vegetation and much surface chemistry. There is speculation that this event is in fact the Biblical Flood of the Old testament. Scientists naturally avoid equating 'natural' disasters with 'Acts of God', but in this case the time coincidence is very suggestive." -

Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
I have some thoughts on it.
Overcrowding of humans on the planet. There are just too may humans and competition for survival is at an all time high. There were times when many humans for various reasons, disease, mental defect or accident never lived to maturity to eventually breed. We have found ways to save all kinds of humans, some of them before modern miracle technology would have just died out. That puts pressure on societies to feed, clothe and care for an absolutely huge number of people. Not advocating going back to the days of only living to age 40, but the life expectancy is much longer.
Civilization is not learning how to be civil, the more "civilized" we get. We have become tolerant to things that a few years ago would have never been acceptable. That will introduce abhorrent behaviour into the group and encourage violence, murder and mayhem. Plus, the consequences for such behaviour is basically a slap on the wrist or going the whole nine yards to try to save or "rehabilitate" someone who is permenantly broken.
As for the "frequency" of natural disasters, see point #1. Much of the overcrowding of the planet leads to the ones without a lot of means to locate in areas prone to flood, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes. It's just the "nature" of the beast.
Things to ponder.

Thanks for the update QK... Now I know what has gone on in the world Since 1138.

Site: East Lansing, Mich. (MSU Indoor Tennis Facility)
Score: #11 Michigan 7, Michigan State 0
Records: U-M (6-3, 1-0 Big Ten), Michigan State (6-2, 0-1 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Friday, March 2 -- at Hawaii (Honolulu, Hawaii), 3 p.m. HST
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The No. 11-ranked University of Michigan women's tennis team took all six singles matches -- five in straight sets -- to complete a dominant 7-0 shutout in its Big Ten Conference opener at Michigan State on Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 22) at the MSU Indoor Tennis Facility.
After quick wins on the No. 1 and No. 2 singles courts, freshman Sarah Lee (Los Angeles, Calif./Campbell Hall HS) clinched the Wolverine win from the No. 3 position, defeating Marina Bohrer, 6-4, 6-4, to remain unbeaten in dual play. Lee trailed in the second set after giving up an early break but broke back to even the score at 4-4 before claiming the final two games to close out the match.
Sophomore Brooke Bolender (Delray Beach, Fla./Kaplan Prep) and freshman Emina Bektas (Indianapolis, Ind./New Braunfels HS) made quick work of their Spartan opponents as the first two off court. Bolender, ranked 56th, went up early breaks in both sets en route to a 6-1, 6-0 win against Olga Chernova, while fifth-ranked Bektas rolled past Nicole Herzog, 6-2, 6-1, at the top spot. Betas extended her win streak to 11 straight matches; like Lee, she is 8-0 in dual-match action.
With the team victory assured, Michigan kept its momentum going at the remaining positions. Sophomore Sam Critser (Mountain View, Calif./Mountain View HS) was victorious in her singles dual debut, securing a 6-4, 6-4 decision over Katarina Lingl at the No. 4 spot. Critser, ranked 62nd, rallied from an early break to claim the first set before going up an immediate break to take the second. With the Wolverine serving for the win, Lingl fought off four match points before Critser ended the match on an overhead winner.
Freshman Kristen Dodge (Barrington, Ill./Barrington HS) and senior Michelle Sulahian (Valley Glen, Mich./Campbell Hall HS) rounded out the singles competition with wins at the No. 5 and No. 6 positions, respectively. Dodge reeled off six straight points in a third-set tiebreaker to beat Julianne Gruber, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 1-0 (3), while Sulahian knocked off Dana Guenter, 6-3, 6-2.
Michigan claimed the doubles point with wins from the No. 1 and No. 2 positions. Bektas and Bolender won the final seven games to dominate in the former, defeating Herzog and Lingl, 8-2. Bektas served out the match, opening the 10th game with back-to-back aces, as the Wolverine duo earned its fifth straight doubles win.
After trading early breaks at the No. 2 position, Sulahian and junior Mimi Nguyen (Long Beach, Calif./Millikan HS) ended on a similar tear, claiming the final four games to defeat Bohrer and Gruber, 8-4, and secure the dual's initial point.
The Wolverines will hit the road for spring break, traveling to Honolulu, Hawaii, to face Hawaii on Friday, March 2. The match is slated for a 3 p.m. HST start at the UH Tennis Complex.
Following are match-by-match results:
No. 1 -- No. 5 Emina Bektas (U-M) d. Nicole Herzog (MSU), 6-2, 6-1
No. 2 -- No. 56 Brooke Bolender (U-M) d. Olga Chernova (MSU), 6-1, 6-0
No. 3 -- Sarah Lee (U-M) d. Marina Bohrer (MSU), 6-4, 6-4
No. 4 -- No. 62 Sam Critser (U-M) d. Katarina Lingl (MSU), 6-4, 6-4
No. 5 -- Kristen Dodge (U-M) d. Julianne Gruber (MSU), 6-1, 6-7 (5), 1-0 (3)
No. 6 -- Michelle Sulahian (U-M) d. Dana Guenter (MSU), 6-3, 6-2
No. 1 -- No. 19 Emina Bektas/Brooke Bolender (U-M) d. Nicole Herzog/Katarina Lingl (MSU), 8-2
No. 2 -- No. 59 Mimi Nguyen/Michelle Sulahian (U-M) d. Marina Bohrer/Julianne Gruber (MSU), 8-4
No. 3 -- Hilary Hager/Dana Guentert (MSU) d. Kristen Dodge/Sarah Lee (U-M), 8-6
Order of Completion: Singles 2-1-3-4-6-5; Doubles 1-3-2
The Wolverines improved to 44-17 in the all-time series against Michigan State. U-M has won 11 in a row against the Spartans.
Michigan has won 26 consecutive regular-season Big Ten dual matches, dating back to the 2008-09 campaign. U-M boasted perfect 10-0 conference record in each of the last two seasons.
Today's shutout victory was the third for Michigan this season. The Wolverines defeated Western Michigan, 7-0, in the dual opener and knocked off Clemson, 4-0, at the ITA National Indoor Championships.
Senior Michelle Sulahian improved to 79-42 in her collegiate singles career to claim sole possession of the 13th position among Michigan's all-time career win leaders. She needs one more win to reach the 12th spot, currently held by Danielle Lund (80, 1997-2000).
Sophomore Sam Critser missed the Wolverines' first five duals with injury before appearing in the doubles lineup at the ITA National Indoors. Today marked her first singles match of the semester.
Michigan Head Coach Ronni Bernstein
On winning the Big Ten opener ... "It's a good start for us. Every Big Ten win is important, and every match today was important. The girls knew that and responded well. It was another road match; the courts are a little different. We've got some things we need to get better at, but overall, I'm pretty happy. We'll take it."
On Michigan's preparation for today ... "We took some days off. It was more about us getting healthy. Mimi [Nguyen] wasn't feeling great today, so we only played her in doubles. We need to get everybody feeling good; I think that's our biggest challenge right now. We gave them a couple days off after indoors and spent some time working on a few things with the girls."
On the Wolverines' doubles play ... "Our doubles still needs to improve. It's about energy, and it's something that we can control. Doubles is all about playing together as a team and having good energy and good body language. That starts in practice. They need to do a better job in practice and a better job with warming up before the match. Again, that's something we can control, so there really is no excuse. We're going to continue to expect that from the girls. That's why we've been successful in doubles in the past. You need to show a positive force to your opponent on the other side of the net. It's a pro set -- only eight games -- so you need to be ready to go from the beginning."
On the return of sophomore Sam Critser ... "It was great to have her back on the court. I think this was a very important match for her as we get into the season. It's about getting her match tough and trusting the knee. Today was a good start for her. It's definitely a nice sight to see her out on the court."

Last year we proudly launched the Do Something Reel™ Film Festival, an online collection of provocative, character-driven films that focus on food, environmental issues and everyday people with a vision of making a world of difference. Simply put, it's a celebration of people who understand that small steps can create big change. The Do Something Reel™ Film Festival continues this month with Bonsai People – The Vision of Muhammad Yunus, an uplifting documentary about one man's extraordinary humanitarian work and his influence around the globe.
"Poor people are bonsai people, there is nothing wrong with their seed. Society simply has not given them the room to grow." – Muhammad Yunus
What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger, and inequality? To some, it sounds impossible, yet Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus is doing exactly that.
When Muhammad lent $27 out of his own pocket to 42 people, he did more than create microcredit. He supported entrepreneurship in hopes of alleviating poverty, empowering individuals and uplifting entire communities. Although microcredit has grown to help 1 out of every 1,000 people on earth, Muhammad didn't stop there.
He's now created a social business movement – a mix between business and social work – to provide poor people with financial services, healthcare, alternative energy and more. By tackling some of the world's most vexing problems, he's demonstrating to the world that complex problems sometimes do have simple answers.
Bonsai People isn't just a tribute to a passionate visionary but a story of hope. Watch the trailer and get inspired.
Holly Mosher is a socially-conscious award-winning filmmaker. She tackles tough issues including environmental, health and human rights issues. Her body of work includes Hummingbird, Side Effects, Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety, Vanishing of the Bees, Free For All, and Bonsai People – The Vision of Muhammad Yunus.
Visit the Do Something Reel's web site to rent Bonsai People through iTunes for $3.99 in standard definition and $4.99 in high definition. There is also an exclusive interview with the filmmaker. There is one viewing per purchase. Also check out additional videos and behind-the-scenes talks with filmmakers from previously featured films and other materials free of charge.
Feeling inspired to support microcredit? Us too! Get involved in Whole Planet Foundation's 2013 Prosperity Campaign. Through March 31, we're working to raise $5.7 million to fund poverty alleviation projects worldwide where Whole Foods Market sources products like coffee, tea, cacao, spices, grains and tropical fruits and vegetables.
Muhammad believes that all humans are born as entrepreneurs, but many have not had the opportunity to develop that side of themselves. What do you think are the biggest challenges for people tapping into this potential? How can we continue to help others overcome these obstacles?

It was Easter Sunday. One thousand, seven hundred fifty showed up for worship that day. Boy, was this place full! And it really felt good. We sang some of the same hymns as today. I gave the kids red Easter eggs and my sermon title was: 'Don't Be Alarmed.' The main idea was that Christ is alive and with us, so there need not be any event or situation in our lives here that should scare us. In addition, even at our death and the death of the people we love, we need not have any fear since Christ has come out of the grave and has arranged for us to do the same!

In the beginning, over there where you can see Russia, there was former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska). And now there is Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). What I saw in the now-famous campaign clip for her Senate run in Iowa — in which she promised to "make them squeal" in Washington and said her Washington skills would include castrating pigs — was confidence and fearlessness. It was a clever ad, and amusing. But with the kind of heartland self-assurance and righteous country confidence that you find in a mountain preacher like Billy Graham or in Johnny Cash and June and Mother Carter: We don't care what they say on Letterman or Jimmy Fallon, it tells you. We are not afraid. They won't get it in Europe or Asia. It belongs to us exclusively.
Had there been no Sarah Palin, there would now be no Joni Ernst. It is second-generation Sarah Palin, and Palin created — mastered — the political genre. But as Palin brought an earthy challenge to the "establishment," roughly meaning Washington and New York and Hollywood (you could include academia), she likewise defined herself in opposition to it. In that regard, she actually reimagined America as East and West, much as Andrew Jackson did, declaring, in effect, that this is where the challenges lie ahead for America. As population and economy move west of the Mississippi, the demographics bear her out.
This new generation busting out with Ernst is more self-confident than aggressive. It is America talking to its own now in the middle and the middle is large.
"If Nebraska's [Sen.] Deb FischerDeb FischerIvanka Trump turns to House GOP on paid family leave GOP senators pleased with Ivanka Trump meeting on family leave, child tax credits McCain threatens to block Trump's deputy Defense nominee MORE [R] can see through the bull in Washington, then Iowa's Joni Ernst can help her cut through the pork," Palin wrote on Facebook, The Washington Post reports.
What happens now that Palin has endorsed Ernst is pivotal. When she endorsed Nikki Haley (R) for governor of South Carolina, Haley skyrocketed in the polls and advanced to easy victory. Worth noting, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) endorsed Haley as well and has also endorsed Ernst. But does Palin still have the chops?
My guess is yes. If so, Ernst will be heading to the Senate in November.

RE: Need good reference for writing Stylesheets
The book "The Beginner's Guide To Mathematica" by Jerry Glynn & Theodore
Gray has a short chapter 'What exactly are styles, style sheets, and style
Basically, bring up a new blank notebook. Use Menu -> Format -> Edit Style
Sheet and then 'Edit Shared Style Sheet'. But then immediately use SaveAs to
save under your new style sheet name and not modify the existing Default
style. I think it should be saved in your private
Mathematica\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets folder so Mathematica will find
it and list it in the StyleSheets menu.
Then if you examine the style sheet it will almost be self-explanatory. You
can select the various cell types and either bring up the underlying
expression (Shift-Ctrl-E) and edit them, or use the Format Menu.
If you want to add new cell styles you can copy and paste one of the
existing ones and then change its name and edit it.
The one tricky thing is if you want to add new cell types. You should add
these later in the style sheet, in what might not seem the logical order, so
that they won't change the standard order of the 'hot keys'. Mathematica
automatically adds hot keys (Alt-1, Alt-2, etc.) in the order it encounters
the cells. It is very bad form to change these because if a user is used to
using them he doesn't want to switch to an entirely new set with a new style
I put up a style sheet at my web site that adds a number of new cell types,
changes the style of cells, and adds GroupOpenCloseIcons to the various
section headings. It is more to my taste of a useful style sheet. You could
look at that as an example.

Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a good reference for writing/constructing
a new style sheet. Thanks to all who reply.

Viterbi School faculty member Elaine Chew has been chosen as one of 15 presenters at the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) 16th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium (http://www.nae.edu/Programs/FOE/USFOE/2010USFOE.aspx). Prof. Chew holds an appointment as associate professor in the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering.
The program highlights exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines in a 2.5 day event. The 15 presenters and 86 participants -- from industry, academia, and government -- were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations and chosen from approximately 265 applicants. The symposium will be held September 23-25, 2010 at the IBM Learning Center in Armonk, N.Y., and will examine cloud computing, autonomous aerospace systems, engineering and music, and engineering inspired by biology. Prof. Chew's presentation is entitled "De-mystifying Music and Its Performance."
"As we face the challenges the next century brings, we will rely more than ever on innovative engineers," said NAE President Charles M. Vest. "The U.S. Frontiers of Engineering program is an opportunity for a diverse group of this country's most promising young engineers to gather together and discuss multidisciplinary ways of leading us into the economy of tomorrow."

Terror threats, gun rights, and immigration at the fore of Senate debate
MANCHESTER — The threat posed by the militant terrorist organization ISIS, the Second Amendment and illegal immigration were among the issues that took center state at Thursday night's debate among Republican hopefuls for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
"They've actually morphed into being bigger and badder," former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said. "Their goal is to march to Pennsylvania Avenue and plant a flag on the White House. Our goal is to stop them from doing that."
"We don't know, in this part of the world, who our friends are and who our enemies are," said former state Sen. Jim Rubens. "I do not want our troops involved in a third ground war in Iraq."
Rubens does not support the current air strikes against ISIS, saying other countries in the region should be responsible.
"Our pants are down and we are weak in the region," Rubens said.
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith called the region "a mess" that has seen fighting among various factions "since Mohammed." He said the U.S. shouldn't be involved in the region unless the U.S. is directly threatened.
Brown, though, said ISIS already is a "direct threat."
"The President right now, supported by Senator Shaheen ... is clueless on" how to handle ISIS, Brown said.
Thursday's debate at WMUR-TV's studio was the third of four Republican primary debates, cosponsored by the New Hampshire Union Leader, held this week in the lead-up to Tuesday's House, Senate and gubernatorial primary elections. Reporter Michael Cousineau represented the Union Leader on the debate panel.
Smith and Rubens each criticized Brown, who when asked about his past support of an assault weapons ban, said he is not planning to introduce any new gun legislation if elected but, if it came up, would ensure that people "from all sides on the issue" would be involved.
"There he goes again. Answer the question, would you?" Smith asked Brown. "Take a stand. If he's against guns, then he's against guns. Good for him."
"You cannot slither around the Second Amendment," Rubens said. "It is absolute and there can be no compromise."
The candidates gave varying answers as to whether humans are primarily responsible for climate change, with Rubens saying yes, and Brown and Smith saying no.
"Yes (humans) are," Rubens said. "Facts can be a stubborn thing."
"I do not believe that humans are the cause of global warming at all," Smith said. "I believe there are holes shot in the science."
Brown said he would support the Keystone pipeline proposal and criticized Shaheen for not supporting it, saying America should use its natural resources to become energy-independent.
The candidates also gave varying answers to which country should be regarded as the United States' most significant foreign policy foe.
Smith said any nation, naming Syria and Iraq, harboring terrorists should be considered an enemy.
Brown echoed Romney in calling Russia "our biggest geopolitical threat" and called Iran, North Korea and areas controlled by ISIS significant enemies as well.
Rubens named China and Saudi Arabia.
"They're ahead of us in cyberwars and they're crippling us with cyber terrorism," he said. "Saudi Arabia ... it turns out is the single largest funder of global terror and ISIS."
Smith called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell "part of the problem" and said he would vote to replace him as the party's Senate leader.
Throughout the debate, Brown did not address his Republican rivals' positions and instead focused his criticism for Shaheen, even when the candidates were asked why they would be the best Republican candidate.
"Any one of us would make a better senator than Jeanne Shaheen," Brown said.
That said, when the candidates were asked who among Democrats they admire, Brown named his potential opponent, should he win the primary.
"I admire Senator Shaheen. I don't agree with her, but I certainly respect her," Brown said.
After the debate, Brown said he wasn't looking past Tuesday's primary despite attacks against Shaheen.
"It's bad karma to do that," Brown said.
The candidates also each said they disagreed with legislation supported by Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte that provides a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
"It does amount to amnesty," Rubens said. "We need to secure the border."
"Of course, it's amnesty," Smith said. "These people need to be stopped and sent back. I don't want to hear about these bills and gobbledygook. I want these illegal aliens, not immigrants, aliens, rounded up and sent back."
The candidates differed on abortion, with Smith saying he is absolutely against it, Rubens saying he is personally opposed but recognizes the political reality on the issue and Brown saying he supports a woman's right to choose.
"I proudly support innocent life," Smith said.
"I am not proposing we change Roe versus Wade," Rubens said.
"There are good people on both sides of this very sensitive issue," Brown said. While he said he does not support partial-birth abortion, "I believe that decision (about abortion) is best made between a woman and her doctor."
Smith and Rubens each criticized Brown for voting on legislation supported by President Barack Obama, with each saying New Hampshire needs a conservative voice. Brown, though, said New Hampshire needs a senator who can reach across the aisle to get things done.
"We need to find a way, in a bipartisan, bicameral manner, to come up with ways to solve problems that (President Barack Obama) will sign," Brown said.
Tuesday's primary
At the end of the debate, Brown and Rubens said they would support whomever wins the primary, while Smith said he would wait until after the election to make that decision.
After the debate, Brown said he hopes to gain Smith's support during the general election campaign.
"I think it's so important to get Bob's help. I think it would be difficult to win without him," Brown said.
Smith said after the debate that polls showing him trailing were wrong; he predicted he would win Tuesday.
"You're all going to have egg on your faces Tuesday night and I'm going to enjoy it," Smith said, laughing.
He ruled out launching a write-in campaign for the general election should he lose the primary.
Rubens said the state is home to sophisticated voters who often research candidates' stands on the issues.
"I think this primary come next Tuesday is going to shock and surprise people all over the state," Rubens said.

I can't speak for that exact model, but I have a CKRT M16-14 that I carry as my field folder. Its a sturdy well made knife that can take a beating and still do its job.
The AUTOLAWKS feature turns some people off of CKRT's, so play with on if you can and see what you think. Mine has the locking device but doesn't automatically come on.
The carson flipper is fast (not the fastest non-auto folder i have, but still fast), and you can play around with the screw holding the blade in and get it tight or loose which varies the force you need to open it.
for roughly 20 bucks, that model should serve you just fine.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Choosing A Breeder (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/choosing-breeder/)
- - Breeder in Ga (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/choosing-breeder/444865-breeder-ga.html)
Breeder in Ga
Looking at Breeders in Georgia, specifically German Shepherd USA in Cedertown Ga, anyone have any experience with this one?
or can recommenced a good breeder in Georgia?
This place gives me really bad vibes - aside from the point that they don't list any OFA results for any of their dogs, nor any titles, under their "our dogs" section there appear to be a HUGE amount of dogs and their kennel is licensed by the state. All of this leads me to believe they are a large-scale, commercial operation - and if that's true, it's not someone I would ever want to support or purchase a dog from.
What kind of GSD are you looking for? What lines?
Here is a bunch of info to start with:
I am looking for a good family dog, probably female for my 11 yr old son and I. I grew up with one and just fell in love with them.
I looked at a couple others... but i cant see spending several thousand on one, not for what I am looking for.
You can get a well-bred GSD from a good breeder for about $1500 (maybe a bit less). Read through that link I posted, research the lines and determine which will best fit with your goals of having a dog. Then, find a breeder that will match those goals. It will be worth your time and money to find a good breeder who does health checks on the parents (hips, elbows, DM, etc) and titles and/or works the dogs (give you an idea on the dog's temperament).
1500? The lowest I have found was 3k+
if you could point me to a good breeder for 1500 i would be grateful :)
This is an American showline breeder in Florida that has puppies available now, I don't know what they charge, I've met some of their dogs in the past:
JLyn Shepherds - Home Page
Here is a working line breeder that I have seen others on this board recommend, but I personally don't know anything about:
Atlanta K9 Academy
My bitch's mother is out of a Jlyn bitch :) There are several decent breeders of AmLines down in GA and AL
Vonlotta has good reviews in that part of Georgia.
I visited the Von Lotta kennels and was very impressed.
Does anyone have any reviews on Vom Zeder Haus?
Authentic German Shepherd puppies for sale Tennessee Kentucky
He has quite an extensive website with a TON of information
I tried a search but came up empty.
A couple of folks have dogs from von den oher tannen as well. They are just south of ATL Von den Oher Tannen
Send member Neko a PM on this kennel she has two Oher Tannen dogs now.
On the other kennel you mentioned in TN I'd just double check their breeding dogs born here in the US are certified by the OFA, X-rays on file at vet isn't the same as official OFA scores. This statement on their website was confusing..(and boy that is one wordy, wordy web site LOL!)

Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum speaker series continues
Tom Felt said he knows what it takes to grow a glass museum.
The founder of the Museum of American Glass in Weston, W.Va., and editor of the museum's quarterly magazine, "All About Glass," Felt is about to bring that knowledge north.
At 7 p.m. April 17, Felt — who is also an officer, archivist and member of the museum's board of directors — will detail the history of what he calls "the little museum that could" during the Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum's Speaker Series.
"That definitely will be part of what I will be covering based what we have been able to accomplish here at Weston," said Felt of his planned address, "Museum of American Glass and its Artifacts," which will take place at the local museum located at 402 E. Main St., Suite 600, in Mt. Pleasant Township.
"I see a vibrant future for the Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum, if its members can build on the local support they've already received, and I think they can based on the approach they are taking," he said.
Cassandra Vivian, the area museum's executive director, draws great inspiration from Felt's success in establishing the facility he oversees.
"Who would have thought that a small museum established in West Virginia little more than a dozen years ago would have grown to become a major presence in the effort to preserve and celebrate the history and manufacture of American glass," Vivian asked. "Today, the Museum of American Glass has more than 500 members."
Facility starts small, builds big
In 1990, when Felt and his fellow volunteers set out to develop what has become the Museum of American Glass, the group was similar to those who gathered locally in late 2012 to start the Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum.
"We definitely had strong local support, and that is very important when you're just starting out a smaller operation like we were at one time," he said.
That year, Felt and his helpers established a glass study support group in Weston, he said.
The Mountain State town, located in Lewis County, was an ideal location for a museum for the glass industry, as it had been the home of some 20 glass manufacturers, and at one time, could boast that it was the largest producer of hand-blown stemware in the world, he said.
"The Museum of American Glass has actively sought a large amount of papers, materials and factory archives," Felt said.
Before that, Felt and his fellow volunteers saw that articles of incorporation as a nonprofit organization were drawn up in 1993, he said.
"One really important thing we were able to do as a museum was reaching out to politicians at the state and national levels for support ... because certain advances require such backing," Felt said.
All the while, Felt said, local support is essential to keep a museum operating and manned with staff but that national and state support is paramount to its long-term survival.
"You also need to work closely with tourist bureaus, because they're essentially the ones who get your name out there to places like visitors centers," Felt said.
In 1998, Felt and his fellow volunteers raised enough money to purchase a small building in Weston to house the museum.
That facility rapidly became too small for the growing collections of glassware donated by collectors and clubs all over the United States, he said.
In 2006, the museum moved into its current location, Felt said.
There it contains a public display area of nearly 10,000 square feet, and additional room for a library, archives and display space devoted to the machinery and equipment used to produce glass objects, he said.
These include interactive displays, many of which are designed to appeal especially to children, Felt said.
The facility is also the home of the National Marble Museum and it serves as the custodian of the archives of the American Flint Glass Workers Union.
"That is just an extremely rich source of information of interest to researchers, and those writing about the histories of factories," Felt said. "Preserving the glass is one thing, and it's a very important thing, but preserving the knowledge of the industry and making research opportunities available, is essential to a museum's development."
Creator is also a collector, writer
In 1977, Felt began collecting glassware when he and his partner, Bob O'Grady, bought three pairs of Heisey candlesticks, he said.
"That small nucleus eventually grew into one of the largest and most complete collections of its kind, and resulted in the publication of a book, 'Heisey Glass Candlesticks, Candelabra and Lamps' written by Felt in 1984," Vivian said.
Felt followed that up with the publications, "Heisey's Lariat & Athena Patterns" in 1986 and "A.H. Heisey & Company: A Brief History," a decade later.
He later expanded his research and writings to include all areas of glass manufacture.
Felt co-authored "The Glass Candlestick Book, Volumes 1-3," with Rich and Elaine Stoer, which was published 2003-2005.
Next came "L. E. Smith Glass Company: The First One Hundred Years" in 2007, and "The Encyclopedia of Cobalt Glass," co-written with Bonnie and Gene Girard, in summer of 2009.
In 2010, Felt published "The L. E. Smith Encyclopedia of Glass Patterns & Products, Identification & Values."
He has written for many club newsletters and has been a regular contributor to The Glass Collectors' Digest, The Glass and Pottery Collector, and many newsletters.
Felt is retired from the Library of Congress, where he spent his career as a cataloger in the Copyright Office.
Speaker is a local museum member
Last year, Felt became a registered member of the Mt. Pleasant Glass Museum.
"It's important for our kind of museums to band together," he said. "We have common concerns, common needs, so just sharing ideas on how we do things, it's also very important."
Vivian said she eagerly anticipates the message Felt will deliver to those attending his talk, particularly those involved in it the local museum's development.
"He should be a very good speaker. Modern-day glass collecting revolves around people like Tom Felt. He is committed, He make things happen, and above all, he has embraced our museum, so we owe him a lot."
The series will be held at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month, Vivian said. There is no cost of admission, but those attending are asked to make a $3 donation to the museum.
Those who have a topic they would like to discuss are encouraged to contact the museum at 724-542-4949.
Upcoming speakers include:
• May 15 — Jay Hawkins — "Bottles and Bottlemaking in the 19th Century"
• June 19 — John Potts — "Transition from Bryce Brothers to Lenox Crystal"
The remainder of the speakers will be announced at a later date.

I know I'm pretty excited to meet a lot of the members from this forum here, and it'll be great to see all of the wonderful Fetts/other star wars characters people bring to CV.
I was thinking maybe there should be an organized "get together" be it during and definitely after the convention (grab some drinks :D ). I plan on having a great time at CV, and I hope to share a lot of awesome moments with the great folks from this board.
So what do you guys think? :thumbsup

This is the classic 'standard' motorcycle in most people's minds. Streetbikes generally don't have fairings, which means you can see the engine: you'll sometimes hear the term 'naked' used to describe them. Streetbikes are very versatile: you can commute on them all week, then enjoy longer rides at the weekend. This category ranges from 'learner' bikes with 125cc engines right up to monsters with 1250cc and more. To see the Suzuki Street range, click here.
You don't have to be a seven-foot, twenty-stone biker with a beard like a rhododendron bush to ride a cruiser: just ask Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. As the name implies, these relaxed, comfortable bikes are designed for long commutes or all-day rides, with larger seats and a leaned-back riding position with your feet out in front of you. To see the Suzuki Cruiser range, click here.
These are just the main types: as you get deeper into the biking world, you'll find the lines between different styles can get blurred, with many 'crossover' bikes that don't fit neatly into a specific category, which is good, because it means you're almost certain to find the bike that's best for you – and your local Suzuki dealer will be more than happy to help.
Adventure and Sports Touring bikes are built with the emphasis on long-range comfort and a go anywhere attitude. They offer a range of luggage accessory options, some as standard and others as added optional extras.
When looking at adventure touring bikes it's important to consider practicality, comfort and fun to ride; giving you the versatility to allow you to explore. We also stock lower seats for the V-Stroms; DL650 20mm lower and DL1000 30mm lower.
This category ranges from 650 to 1250cc engines. To see the Suzuki range, click here.
Just like buying a car, you need to try a motorcycle before you commit. You need to be physically comfortable on the bike: the shape of the seat, the reach to the bars, the standover height – all these things matter, and only reveal themselves when you actually ride the bike. To arrange a test ride with your local Suzuki dealer, click here.
As well as the cost of the bike itself, you need to factor in insurance, tax and maintenance. Don't forget you may also need to include your riding gear in your initial outlay, too.
We know it can be daunting buying your first motorcycle. Our Dealers have a wealth of experience and knowledge, and they're here to answer any questions you may have – in fact, most will be only too glad of an excuse to talk about bikes! And don't worry: there's no such thing as a silly question. We want you to enjoy your riding, and be safe, so if there's anything you're unsure of, just ask.

Women of child-bearing age do not eat nearly enough bread to justify the mandatory addition of folic acid to flour, a survey has found.
A proposal put forward by the Trans-Tasman food regulator Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) would force bakers to fortify all bread by adding folic acid to flour to help reduce crippling birth defects.
But manufacturers argue that the plan, costing $1 million to implement, has been poorly planned.
A new survey funded by bread manufacturer George Weston Foods has found that women eat 11 slices of bread a week on average.
But they would need to consume this many slices a day to reach the recommended daily intake of folic acid.
The Newspoll of about 250 women also found that 21 per cent eat no bread at all.
Fiona Fleming, Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Manager at George Weston Foods, said the results proved the measure would miss many in the target group.
"You cannot turn bread into a medicine and mass medicate the entire Australian population of 20 million people in an attempt to deliver folic acid to a small number of women of child-bearing age," Ms Fleming said.
She said the food industry believed voluntary fortification of a variety of foodstuffs, education and supplements were the answer to ensuring women planning pregnancies met their daily folic acid requirements.
Folate can reduce the risk of neural tube defects, including spina bifida, which involve damage to the bony spine and the nervous tissue of the spinal cord.
This problem affects up to 350 pregnancies a year in Australia and about 75 in New Zealand.
Women can reduce the risk of the defects by taking 400 micrograms of folic acid a day before falling pregnant and during the first three months of pregnancy.
The proposal to add folic acid to bread would deliver only half the recommended dose, but the regulator said that level was safe for the whole population, including children.
The Australian Food and Grocery Council and the Australian Spina Bifida Association have welcomed the proposal.
But many manufacturers and academics have written to federal and state ministers urging them to reject the proposal, which is open for public comment until July 31.

Governor Sarah Palin insists her ability on a clear day to see the shore of Russia has provided the potential vice president with extraordinary knowledge of the neighbor to the west. She also points out that Russian planes fly over Alaska every day which enables this far seeing political leader to gain a vast understanding of the Russian government. There is no question an occasional Russian diplomat is on these planes which means, unlike Barack Obama in Illinois, the Alaska politician has greater executive and diplomatic experience in an experiential way. Senator McCain in the presidential debate made clear he has traveled around the world and seen things that Obama has only read about in books, provided, of course that he actually has read a book on foreign affairs.
We live in interesting times when traveling to another country and seeing its terrain is somehow connected to understanding politics and diplomacy. Of course, by that definition any tourist can now claim the right to run for public office, particularly anyone who has been in Iran or Iraq. I suspect few of the McCain-Palin critics fully grasp that Sarah Palin not only sees Russia daily, but her intimate contact with God means she has the power to blast Russian planes out of the air merely be gazing upward.
It is unfortunate the Founding Fathers did not place in the list of requirements to qualify to run for president or vice president the need to be able to see other nations in the distance and have visited several foreign countries. There is no question if these valid requirements were in the Constitution, the Palin-McCain ticket would easily win the election. It is somewhat unfair that Joe Biden lives near the Atlantic Ocean and can not see any country in the distance. However, in fairness, he does see ships bound for other nations. I wonder if this also counts.
