text: I have played space cowboy for like 2 days, I'm level 18 and my stats are around as follows with accessory bonus: 34 attack, 28 or so agi, 9 spirit, 17 shield, others are low (def is 3, fuel is like 12). Now, I know spirit and fuel have to be increased since moves need a lot more sp later on and items are heavier later on, but should I invest a lot in attack/agi/spirit? So I can do high damage but actually catch those i-gears and spam my special move? So far it is working wonders vs. normal foes, found some arrow missles for my level and a nice auto gun, so I destroy things like 4 above my level. Just wondering if I should go for HIGH attack, pretty high agi/spirit, and low shield, with other stats low as well (maybe enough def for engine). Need advice, since I am low enough to start over and stuff, so comment away thanks! Plus, I plan to be skilled in pvp, so I don't want to make a grinder.

Hey Guys,
First of all, I hope I am posting this in the correct section
So I am going to be purchasing a new firearm soon. Right now I have a safe that can hold only one handgun. So basically I am in the market for a new gun safe to hold my new one as well.
What do you guys recommend? Thanks for your help.

Marvin and Amber were both raised in Christian families and came to Christ at a young age. Marvin accepted Christ at the age of five during a small town revival meeting. After the meeting Marvin and his sister asked their father, who is a pastor, how they could know that they were going to heaven. Amber accepted Christ at the age of nine when her father sat down and explained the Gospel to her. Amber and Marvin both attended Christian schools throughout their lives as well as attending and helping in their local churches.
Marvin has been involved in children's ministry since he graduated from Pensacola Christian College in 1995. As a sophomore in college he felt the call of God to serve the Lord with his life. Since that time, Marvin has ministered to children as a Christian school teacher, as a graphic designer for Child Evangelism Fellowship and now as the Asia regional director for The Mailbox Club International.
Marvin and Amber were married in 1998 and had their first child in 1999. They now have three children Marvin Ray (1999), Paxton (2002), and Madelyne (2005). Amber is a homeschooling mom.
In December of 1999, Marvin and Amber moved their family to Missouri to work at Child Evangelism Fellowship. It was working at CEF that Marvin first learned about The Mailbox Club. Marvin was hired as an artist/graphic designer to help redesign Mailbox Club Bible lessons. Little did Marvin realize at the time that the Lord was using this situation to eventually move him and his family to Valdosta, Georgia the headquarters of The Mailbox Club.
Since 2002, Marvin and his wife Amber have been serving the Lord reaching the children of Asia for Christ. The Mailbox Club Asia is an exciting Bible club ministry for all ages. Children are connected to a local church through a godly mentor and are discipled through Christ-centered Bible lessons. This is all done in a class type setting usually within the local church.

Cabrinha Boys Break SA Record
Douglas Van Der Merwe and Greg Thijsse have smashed the South African long distance kiting record. The two set out on a mission last Sunday to kite from Paternoster to Strandfontein. Assisted by a 6m rubber duck and land support the two departed at 10:30 AM in strong South Easterlies. All was going well until they started to cross Britannia bay en route to Elands Baai. The wind dropped to a marginal 8 knots and the two struggled for a good hour to keep there kites in air and try edge towards a band of wind on the coast (10km away).
The two JUST made it to the beach where they decided it was time to change the kite.
Doug put up a 14m2 cross bow and Greg put up a 13m2 Nomad 2011. With the big sails in the air the two were off again and had just enough power to sail through the transition from the South Easterly to the South Westerly (a more common wind on the west coast).
The South Westerlies then built throughout the day and by the time they arrived at Elands Baai they had a good 25knots in their gigantic kites.
They had reached half way! The two now averaging 30km/hour put their endurance caps on and flew their way down to the finish.
6 hours of kiting time was recorded and a mighty 148km non stop was put down in the books as the new South African long distance record.
Well done boys.
Doug and Greg are on a mission to complete the entire west coast by kite.
After this last leg, they have completed Struisbaai - Doornbaai and have approximately 480km more to go to complete their 1000km challenge.
Cabrinha is proud to be powering them...

Dash Ahead shows there is still life in his old legs
Evergreen Dash Ahead will turn nine in a few days, but that didn't stop the gelding appreciating a change of pace to land the sixth win of his lengthy career in the Luk Wu Handicap.
Dash Ahead (Ben So Tik-hung) could never be called a prolific winner, but he has long been as consistent as his get-back style of racing could allow.
After battling home respectably at his two previous outings when the pace of the races over 2,200m at Happy Valley, and then 1,600m at Sha Tin was against him, Dash Ahead revelled in the return to a decent tempo with Brave Spirit and Billion cutting out the lead.
It took him all of the 1,800m to arrive but, in receipt of 26 pounds from Billion, Dash Ahead snared victory over the grey right on the line, his fourth 1,800m win.
Trainer Peter Ho Leung said: 'Coming back this season at his age, Dash Ahead had been running very well in Class Four, but at nine-years-old I was not sure if he would still be able to win in Class Three.
'But the 10-pound claim helped today and so did the track. We followed the pattern of Super Bobo in the earlier race, coming down the middle of the track to win, because the rain during the day looked like it had slowed the rails section down and given an advantage to the horses running on,' he added.
Ho took his wins for the season along briskly to 11, the best start he has enjoyed for some time, with his past two years yielding just 15 and 16 wins in total, respectively.

Many people apply to become a Maine Forest Ranger, but very few make it to the point where they can put on the badge.
"It is quite a process," says four year Maine Forest Ranger Ben Goodwin. "You've got to go through a hiring process where it's you have to pass a physical test from push-ups to sit-ups to sit and reach to a mile and a half run, and then you have to go through a board exam where you're interviewed by five other Rangers, go through a background check where they call, they stopped by my neighbors where I lived, they called high school buddies, college buddies, then you go through a polygraph test and then you have a final interview with the Colonel, so it was probably an eight month, nine month process."
Once a person is hired, finding out what you'll be doing day to day in the job, Goodwin says it can be a surprise. "There's no typical day, we could be running a fire one day working a timber theft case another day. teaching fire classes or at a school teaching fire prevention so there is no typical day we have and that is what I enjoy of the job."
Sometimes there is confusion between the Maine Warden's Service and the Maine Forest Service, they both work in the woods of Maine, but Goodwin says their jobs are very different. "The Warden's take care of the wildlife out there and the way we look at it is we take care of the area where the wildlife lives. we do get confused sometimes, but that's part of the job. and we work together with the Wardens Service on searches and if there is violations that they need help with or if we need help with, so we work good with them."
But their primary focus is wildfires, and many times to get an accurate idea of what is going on in the area they cover they have to leave the roads and trails and take to the skies. "The way we approach fires, is it 100% out is how we do it, I know sometimes out west they'll let fires burn, we don't let fires burn here,with the accessibility we have here in the state of Maine, we can usually get to a fire pretty quick and work that fire," said Goodwin. "So I think they way the equipment and the resources that we have, helps keep those fires down and I also think we've been lucky."
"This is, often a lot of the wildfires Downeast are started as a legal, permitted, blueberry burn the wind takes it and gets into something else," said Forest Ranger pilot Lincoln Mazzei.
"As the fire season ramps up here we like to get our flights done in the morning where the fire danger usually isn't as high," said Goodwin. "And then have the helicopters ready for any response to a fire for the afternoons as we go."
The Rangers and the pilots aren't just looking for smoke or fires, sometimes they are watching to see what they may encounter in a future fire. "I am looking for camps that are out in the woods out here and it gives me a good idea, what I'll do is do a camp inspection on it," says Goodwin. "I'll take a picture of it, and mark it on a GPS, then when I get back to Old Town I can get that printed up so if we do have fires in here it gives me a good idea where the camps are, where we might have a problem with structures burning, what might be at that camp if there's you know, propane tanks there, if there is fuel there, it gives me a good idea of what's in the unit, and we can put those up on a map and it will put a dot, camp here, camp here, so as we're working a fire I know I may have three camps over the ridge on the next fire if I'm not careful we can lose those structures."

Ok, my mini schnauzer's hair mats at the drop of a hat, and getting rid of those mats is painful for him and stressful for both of us. He absolutely hates grooming (His skin is delicate to the point he can't stand slicker brushing) and I don't know what it is about his coat but it just...mats if I don't brush it hourly, and I don't think it has to be that way.
I was considering Cowboy Magic Detangler and Shine or Eqyss Survivor since they're praised lavishly, I could just apply some after the bath, comb through his hair and use it as a leave-in conditioner to curb the matting, while combing every other day.
I have a few problems.
1) I've no clue where they're sold in Toronto, and my google fu is not helping.
2) it is unclear to me whether they are leave-on products.
3) It's unclear to me whether I can use them as a matting preventative product as opposed to an emergency dematting tool.
Who has used these? Who has dogs like mine that grow dreadlocks with the slightest breeze? what do you guys do? I try and brush them out when I can, but most of the time they practically become dreadlocks and need to be cut off. Also he licks his front legs compulsively which doesn't help. Can anything be done? I'd like to see him sport a proper schnauzer beard and furnishings but the mats keep making me clip his coat.

As a person who's pretty much consumed by wanderlust, always planning or embarking on an adventure, I have a whole collection of stories and photos from my trips.
Angela Chasisms: Existential moments when you feel like the way you're thinking about something is exactly the way that Angela Chase would think about the same thing, so you like, think about it, like in that way, that like, she does. This week: Travel.
In Europe I learned many important life lessons. I learned that I don't like one night stands. That spending the day munching on tapas and reading Patti Smith's memoir in a local cafe, can be just as crucial as spending the day photographing every inch of the Sagrada Familia.
Gigantic holes are awesome and scary. When gigantic holes are under water, they're terrifying. When gigantic holes open up from out of nowhere to create holes as deep as two statues of liberty, they're freakish. And gigantic holes that have been on fire for 40+ years are out of a nightmare. Gigantic holes are #creepy. Video inside.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hospitality, and the food in the restraunt were both excellent. Would stay again The shower in my room was not very good, poor water flow, new showers plumbed to the ains and not 'instant' should be installed
First class atmosphere. Professional, experienced staff. Excellent food and friendly well stocked bar. Room slightly dowdy and in need of redecoration. Bed uncomfortable.
The food and the surroundings were lovely nothing to fault about the hotel or the staff, great stay.
Staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel was set in a beautiful location and had a lovely relaxed feel to it. The cooked breakfast in the morning was amazing!!! Brilliant stay!
Comfort, relaxing, good food and service.
the staff were great and could`nt do enough to help. it was a very relaxing place to stay. and the whisky bar was great! no complaints, lovely hotel and staff... but vegetarian menu slightly limited.
This is a beautiful hotel. It is very old fashioned and has a unique character. The staff were helpful. The sleepy little town of Ablour was a great location for our trip to the highlands.
Relaxing atmosphere The furniture in the bedroom was tired and the bathroom was average
Wonderful stay, excellent service and good value for money
Visiting Speyside
Very nice host. Nice stories. Helpfull. The rooms looked nice.
Relaxed environment, friendly staff
friendlyness no
The property is well suitable for overnight or a short holiday stay - the rooms are clean cosy & comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was excellent. Rooms are not en-suit (the landlord had a valid & acceptable reason), although no problem was encountered with shared tiolet & bathroom - both were clean & adequate.
Fantastic, Clean & Tidy. Nothing
Nice freshly cooked breakfast Small room with an uncomfortable bed cupboards used as storage by owners
Very friendly and informative owners, comfy beds, very clean throughout. Breakfast
The rooms were great and very clean! The shower would alternate between cold and hot water and never stayed at a comfortable temperature. The staff wasn't very welcoming, but not rude.
The bathroom, breakfast. Nothing
We arrived before 2pm check-in but staff had the room ready and we were able to get in early which was a big help as we still had a few things to do prior to attending a wedding.
Ideal location for purpose of visit No telephone in the room
It was clean and convenient; staff were pleasant and friendly. Had to walk to building next door to restaurant past smokers.
It was a short-notice arrangement due to the adverse snow conditions. Hotel nearly full!
it was comfort there isnt a facilty to help with heating baby bottles (i'e a microwave)
Good sized room, clean, good service, comfy beds,food excellent. None
Sorry we were trying to fill in last questionaire and it got lost. Service was brilliant, value for money good. Staff approachg to cutomers was very good, especially duriong breakfast period. I will give 10 out of 10 on all except you failed on second night when I returned from a gruelling experience as witness at court and you had not replenished coffee and tea making facilities. I was gutted! and too tired to sort it out.A smaal point,n when one comes home afyter buisiness, one does not want to come home to an empty cupboard. I am not having a serious winge, as I have stated service is generally good, but this I found disappointing. In short, bloody gutted! As I have stated 10 out of 10 in all but one. Please remedy this. No coffee, tea or milk on second day. Gutted!!"
The hotel was warm, comfortable, the staff were excellent in giving us help, It was exactly what we needed for a short stay. Can honestly say we were pleased with everything
Pleasant staff, clean Thin walls
_Bed _Shower _windows _old tv
comfortable bed no
the Eastbank was homely,and clean. The food was plentiful and good, presentation could have been improved. There appeared to be no heating, although it was only early Sept, we thought the heating should have been on, as it was chilly in the mornings and late at night.
We liked the friendly atmosphere and the willingness of the staff to help
Excellent. The staff and owners were great. They put us in a room that cost more since they didn't have the rooms we booked due to renovations, yet charged us the lower price. They explained everything, and entertained us as well. The food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. The best hotel we stayed at in Scotland out of four. It was like staying in a bed and breakfast, they were very personable and entertained us for hours with stories, and gave advice on where to go in the local area for site seeing. Probably one of the best hotel stays I've had in all of Europe. I would recommend this to anyone, and plan on passing on the hotel to my friends that are planning trips to Scotland. n/a
Spacious room with extra length double bed and good sized bathroom. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to please. Fan in the bathroom stays on for a very long time. The room is on the street and near a youth club, and was very noisy at night (Saturday).
Our room was exceptional. The staff at the hotel were wonderful, made us feel as if we were right at home and very welcome. It was a wonderful vacation and we would love to go back.
All good None
Friendly staff - nice area - good food
Lots of parking, good breakfast, good tv programs, friendly staff. No hot water on my second morning and wi fi is not as widely available in some areas as stated. Bar prices quite expensive.
Reservation was for 2 nights. Hotel records said one night.They then checked us into an occupied room. One hour to sort. On checkout, the room rate was wrong.
Walls were very thin, could hear everybody walking along the corrridor and was woken up by the occupant of the next room flushing the toilet
good breakfast staff and public areas strong smell of damp in room carpet had bleach marks shower curtain stained kettle didn't work grout stained black walls paper thin decor and furniture hadn't been updated for at least 20 years
Easy to find and plenty of car parking. Evening meal was fine and good quality but breakfast a bit poor. Single rooms are just a bit on the small side.
The food was nice in the bar and the refit of the public areas is nice. The rooms and corridors for guests are in dire need of a facelift. Hall and room carpets are filthy. Paintwork chipped. Poor lighting and insufficient lighting in my room. My room was damp and had damp stains at the window and in the bathroom. There was insufficient ventilation to remove the steam when showering. Low signal for television - many freeview channels missing. Scratchy toilet paper. Only a single mortice lock on my door, no yale or multi-bolt system.
A maintenance fault was reported to reception and we were told it would be repaired, but it wasnt.
Only the fact that the hotel was near to our friends, who we were visiting. We would normally stay at a local B&B, and will do so again! The greeting was not good, the information on the pool was not helpful, the use of the pool was unclear. We asked for an iron and it took almost an hour to appear. The room felt like a broom cupboard, especially the shower room. The breakfast on the Sunday was a farce! Like Fawlty Towers. There was no milk, juice, dishes, cooked food, cutlery - all of these had to be asked for.
Use of leisure facilities included in the reasonable price Young receptionist on arrival was very off-hand and unwelcoming - created a poor first impression. By contrast, an older lady who served us when we left was very friendly and pleasant. This suggested to us that staff training was an issue.
The hotel was very comfortable and the staff very accomodating. food in the restaurant was of good quality, with a good choice and very fresh.
Convenience, clean, comfortable, value Nothing
Beautiful and well equipped accommodation. Nothing
Good quality for money as most scottish guest houses. Beats the crap out of most hotels for the same amount of money! No, very good value for reasonable money.
It's an easy walking distance to town and great access to the Whisky Trail The bed a little lumpy
Very comfortable bed.
Friendly staff; comfortable room.
Very friendly welcome Breakfast was outstanding quality with locally sourced foods. The en suite let this visit down very small and the shower was a trickle of water which you had to move around to try and get covered.
Excellent location, value and facilities. The only thing I would have liked that we didn't have was a sitting room to share with our friends.
A friendly welcome and an exceptionally good breakfast Not really!
Excellent location, just off the main shopping street, with it's own parking. Furniture rather old-fashioned but then it suits the house. Good breakfast.
Very friendly staff, excellent food .Comfortable rooms and despite proximity to main road traffic noise is minimal . Hotel is dog friendly which is a bonus
Generally this hotel is O.K. Rooms are clean. Food was good. Room service was good as I had a very long day. No bath in the room. Decor abit tired. Television sound was poor.
Breakfast was good quality as was the evening meal. reception staff friendly. Bed was uncomfortable. Room shook with passing lorry traffic through the night so had broken sleep. No staff in hotel after bar closes
The staff were very friendly and the selection of beers was excellent
Location Upgrade of santiary ware required,
Breakfast was very good. My room was facing the front overlooking the main road which is the access route to the North. It was very noisy and I spent a restless night constantly being woken up by traffic
Bedroom and en suite were clean. Most staff were very freindly. Food good. Bed very uncomfortable and very old; bedroom decor very dated; public areas dark and carpets filthy
Good sized rooms, with en-suite, and the most excellent food. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding, with very generous portions. The hotel wi-fi is limited. Could do with a better router to cast the signal further.
Staff very pleasant. Bedding and towels were nice and fresh and soft.Breakfast was lovely plenty of tea and toast. Rooms were very dated and in desperate need of decorating
The staff were really helpful, great location in the centre of Elgin, fantastic showers and very comfortable beds
Easy to find, very pleasant stay None
breakfast times were to early had to wait for meal.room was not cleaned very well and one day not at all
We found this hotel very comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was very good, we would not hesitate to use Southbank Hotel again
Although we drove there, I thought the location very convenient for Railway station and town centre facilities.
Off road parking and pleasent host and good breakfast. Biker friendly too None
good location
Clean, comfort,welcome,nice all round Tv needs to be tuned in, all one want's to do is turn it on not ask for some one to do it for you. then soon has you change the channel over you lose the the lot and end up with a gray screen. please fix this and I am happy
Recently decorated room and bathroom - very comfortable Sunday breakfast re-arranged for 7-8am! No explanation as to why early and very poor breakfast.
The staff at the guest house was very accommodating and the breakfast, which was included in the tariff was excellent. We were able to park there but it was also very close to the train station if public transport needed. The streets around the hotel were extremely narrow and difficult to navigate but this is not the fault of the guest house (obviously).

Shaquille O'Neal's Cell Phone Causes Havoc On TNT'S 'NBA Tip-Off' Show [VIDEO]
Subscribe to Hot 107.9 on
Last night while I was watching TNT's "NBA Tip-Off" show, I saw the havoc that Shaquille O'Neal's cellphone caused on the TNT set. Shaq's cellphone rang in the middle of a discussion and that's when the show "went off the road."
With so many ties to Acadiana, I certainly hope that nobody from here was calling Shaq while he was on the set. Watch how bad one phone call derailed a nationally televised show, and listen to the reaction of Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson.
Let's just hope that Shaq has some connections at a local cellphone store because after what happened last night he may need a new cellphone.

I continually see the advice that when a handgun is properly gripped, the barrel should be lined up with the bones in the forearm. I would be very interested in knowing whether that is actually true in practice. I have been shooting handguns for well over 40 years, and possibly it is just my anatomy, but with my shooting grip the bore line definitely points well right of the extended centerline of the radius/ulna bones of my forearm. If I grip it in such a way that they do line up, the grip is decidedly uncomfortable and unstable. Try assuming an Isosceles stance and see how well the barrel and bones line up. If they do line up, your impact point will be so far left you would probably miss a target 10 feet in front of you. Thanks for any thoughts on this subject.
I just posted this on the USCCA forum, and thought I would try this one as well. I hope that is not offensive to anyone.

Affordable Housing Unit Mix Calculator
This is a link to an interactive Excel worksheet that permits the user to establish a total budget for affordable housing and allocate this amount among income levels and unit sizes within this budget. This calculator permits the user to see what the effect of allocating more units to lower-income households or larger families is on the total number of affordable units that can be provided within the selected budget amount.
The calculator is specifically tailored to current incomes, construction costs and other factors unique to the Beauregard planning area and should not be considered a general-purpose model illustrating these choices for another situation. The total affordable housing budget of approximately $80,000,000 for the entire planning area for the full development period has been used by staff as an order-of-magnitude approximation of what might be available for this purpose under the current draft plan development assumptions.

Fraternity brothers assist campers with disabilities
By JULIE HANSON
Union Leader Correspondent | July 06. 2014 10:07PM
Jeremy Edward prepares a drill while working on a sensory garden project at Camp Allen in Bedford. Members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity built the garden and completed other maintenance project during a visit from June 29 to July 3. (JULIE HANSON/Union Leader Correspondent)
The members are part of the Build America program run by Push America, the national philanthropy of Pi Kappa Phi. The stop at Camp Allen was part of a summer-long journey by the 16-member team. Along the way they will complete construction projects at six camps dedicated to people with disables from Boston to Atlanta.
"These guys have just blown me away and exceeded every expectation that I had," Constance said.
He would rejoin the other campers able tolerate the chaos of a campground. Constance envisioned a larger sanctuary that would stimulate all the senses and meet the special needs of any camper.
Dylan Devlin recently graduated with a degree in hotel and restaurant management. He saw the Build America program as his last chance to focus completely on giving back before entering the professional world.
"It's about creating something for people you may realistically never see again just to know that it's theirs," Devlin said.
"I'm going to enjoy every single minute of every single day of these next few weeks," Strata said.
"The values of Push America and Pi Kappa Phi is what will carry us throughout our lives," Abner said.
"It's really great to experience the whole community dynamic," Julian said.
"This isn't about disabilities," Julian said. "It's about what people can do and their strengths and making the most use out of your time, your gifts, and your life."

An experimental system for liquid flow-rate measurements of pressure-driven flow through microchannels is described. The displacement of a meniscus is tracked in a precision borehole using a laser distance meter mounted on a feed-back controlled traversing stage. Successful measurements of flow rates as small as 30 pl/s are reported when using non-evaporative hexadecane, and evaporative fluids such as ethanol are measured at flow rates of 0.1 nl/s. The set-up can also be used for measurements in time-dependent flows. Finally, a discussion of the influence of dissolved nitrogen on the measured flow rates is given.

From this has arisen the most powerful cult, ancestor worship, that at present exists in China.
The basis, however, of Chinese religious thought is ancestor worship.
Herbert Spencer has insisted that all religion is ancestor worship, that is, it grows out of the family group.
ancestor worship may be said, indeed, to be the true religion of the Chinese.
Possibly there is a trace of ancestor worship even here; but the two usages have diverged.
ancestor worship, or reverence for the dead, was a third factor.
Modern taste has removed from sight what were once the common people's symbols of the god-way, that is of ancestor worship.
It finds expression in the ceremonies known as ancestor worship.
Revile as you may and wrongly call it "ancestor worship," the spirit that prompts the act is entirely praiseworthy.
Ghasiya tribe, ancestor worship, I. 176; barring the ghost, II.

This week's #NetNeutrality theme is #FreeSpeech. Stop @AjitPaiFCC from restricting your free speech and ideas. #ProtectNetNeutrality
Although several commenters strongly favor the imposition of damages for adjudicated violations of Section 325(b)(3)(C), we can divine no statutory grant of authority to take such action. Congress instructed the Commission to revise its regulations governing retransmission consent to prohibit exclusive agreements and require good faith negotiation. We can divine no intent in Section 325(b)(3)(C) to impose damages for violations thereof. This is especially true where later in the same statutory provision, Congress expressly granted the District Courts of the United States the authority to impose statutory damages of up to $ 25,000 per violation, per day following a Commission determination of a retransmission consent violation by a satellite carrier. Commenters' reliance on the program access provisions as support for a damages remedy in this context is misplaced. The Commission's authority to impose damages for program access violations is based upon a statutory grant of authority. We note, however, that, as with all violations of the Communications Act or the Commission's rules, the Commission has the authority to impose forfeitures for violations of Section 325(b)(3)(C). 15 FCC Rcd 5445 (2000) Par. 82.For those whose eyes glazed over during all the legalbabble (which is what lawyers use in place of technobabble), allow me to summarize: "Because the specific statute (Sec. 325 (b)(3)(C)) does not explicitly give us authority, we decide we have no authority, even though our general authority to punish people for violating our rules would actually give us authority -- if we wanted to have it, which we don't." From this derives the oft repeated myth that the FCC "doesn't have statutory authority to do anything about retrans," even though the FCC explicitly says at the end of the same paragraph "but we actually do have authority." In other words, Congress gave the FCC the job of Consumer Protection Cop to keep broadcasters from abusing their power as trustees of the public airwaves, and gave the FCC the power to do the job. Unfortunately, the FCC really wanted the job of "Palace Eunuch" for the Media Barons. So the FCC busily went to work lopping off everything that stood between it and its desired job as Palace Eunuch. For 15 years, the FCC has loooooovvvved its job as Palace Eunuch for the Media Barons, wearing a very impressive Palace Eunuch uniform with those great big baggy pants and the cute little fez and toy sword it waves impressively when it tells members of the public to move along and stop trying to hold big media companies accountable for their public interest obligations. And as a reward, Palace Eunuch FCC got to go every year to the Big Media Baron Convention in Las Vegas to get praised and petted -- which the FCC would reward by relaxing ownership rules further, rolling over on mergers, and rubber-stamping license renewals. Unfortunately, all this indulgence of the Media Barons has created toxic levels of consolidation that, among other problems, has left the retrans system totally broken. Palace Eunuch FCC finds itself utterly unable to deal with these nasty brawls that keep breaking out. Worse, everyone keeps looking at it like it is supposed to be Consumer Cop FCC -- the job Congress actually intended. Unfortunately for Genachowski, much as he wants to be Consumer Cop FCC, thanks to previous FCC decisions, his existing arsenal consists of a little toy sword, a fez, and really baggy Palace Eunuch pants. Happily for Genachowski, he can trade in the silly, baggy Eunuch pants for those bold, powerful "man pants" Delaware Republican Senate Candidate Christine O'Donnell touted as the accessory for the season. Some months back, Public Knowledge and New America Foundation, backed by a bunch of cable companies and other subscription television providers (Rule 1: when you take on the Media Barons, always bring a posse), filed a Petition with the FCC asking the FCC to review its retrans rules. We asked the FCC to modify the rules to reflect the current marketplace realities and give the FCC tools to protect consumers when the retrans fights rage out of control. How would this help the current Fox/Cablevision fight? First, I have no doubt that if Genachowski even suggests that maybe the FCC will take up the issue at the November or December meeting, it will inspire Fox to become a heck of a lot more reasonable. In the longer term, it is in keeping with Genachowski's commitment to put consumers first and get the FCC back on track as a Consumer Protection Cop. And it is absolutely necessary -- because the problems that cause the current crop of retrans fights are only going to get worse, not better. So my advice to Genachowski, if he is serious about wanting to get Fox television channels back on Cablevision and about protecting television viewers generally, is that he sieze this opportunity and move on our Retrans Petition. Even if the FCC doesn't adopt a rule, it will begin a very necessary discussion about how to adapt a system developed in 1993 to the realities of 2010. Or Genachowski could do nothing. In which case, he will have time to go shopping for a nice pair of those little pointy shoes with the bells on the toes to go with the baggy Eunuch pants.

Halle Berry graces the cover of the May issue Harper's Bazaar (wow, they finally put a woman of color, any color, on the cover).
She's rocking a cute, retro, honey-brown wig in the photos for the interview, but I must point out that I do not appreciate this ridiculous wig they put on Halle for the cover. I mean, who thought this was a good look?
Oh well. She looks great nevertheless.

Blues 3, Flames 2: Alex Steen scored his league-leading 14th goal of the season as host St. Louis withstood a late charge to edge Calgary.
Vladimir Tarasenko and Maxim Lapierre also tallied while defenseman Jordan Leopold notched a pair of assists for the Blues, who kicked off a five-game homestand. Brian Elliott made 18 saves.
Tim Jackman and Mike Cammalleri scored for the Flames, who fell to 1-2-0 on their four-game road trip. Reto Berra turned aside 24 shots as Calgary lost for the eighth time in 10 overall contests.
Tarasenko opened the scoring 3:01 into the game by converting a power-play opportunity and Lapierre doubled the lead midway through the first period, when he redirected Leopold's shot past Berra for his first goal with St. Louis.
Steen made it 3-0 at 5:55 of the second with a backhander which extended his career-best point streak to nine games, but Jackman buried a rebound 4:41 into the third to get Calgary on the board. Cammalleri cut the deficit to 3-2 with 5:11 remaining, firing the rebound of defenseman Chris Butler's one-timer past Elliott from the right faceoff circle, but the Flames were unable to get the equalizer.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Steen, who has scored a goal in eight of his last nine games, is 10 away from matching his career high set in 2009-10. ... Flames D Chad Billins registered his second assist in his second NHL contest. ... Calgary LW Curtis Glencross is expected to miss six weeks with a sprained MCL suffered in Tuesday's loss at Minnesota.

Thank you all so furry much for the birthday wishes! I have the bestest friends and want you all to know how much I love ya!
Now, my bff Elle was so excited that it was my birthday, she sang Happy Birthday to me for about 10 minutes! She is 20 months old and loves to sing and dance. It was quite a production!
I still only have 2 freckles. I was kind of hoping to get one more since I am 3 now. No such luck. I guess I will just have to wait and see!
Thanks again and here is a big Petey hug to all of you!
Wow, my frecklness made me a DDP! I was so excited I sprouted another one on my nose! Mom gave me lots of treats and hugs. I went in the sunroom with Charlie and told all the birds to watch out for frecklehead Petey!
BTW, mom has a theory on freckles. They only seem to appear next to orange fur. Chloe only has them on her eyelids like eyeliner and no where else. She has a white teardrop shape on her face so there aren't any there. Oh yeah, she does have a few on her toes that are orange and furry.
So, I should be popping out freckles a lot! Woo hoo I am a freckle head!
Petey Sweetie here, I got my first mouth freckle. Mom was so excited! She checked it twice to make sure it wasn't food or dirt. Nice, she thinks I have a dirty mouth! Anyway, she says it is as cute as a little dimple. What is a dimple?

Somebody at Pentax has just plain lost it. Here you see the forthcoming limited-edition K-r, a custom version of the regular 12 megapixel DSLR. It seems to have been built from eye-searingly bright children's building blocks, and somebody has even wedged a robot-head into the hot-shoe.
Pentax has a history of colorful experimentation, from the "world's reddest DSLR" to the rainbow-colored K-x which "requires sunglasses to use". But with this Korejanairobomoderu, or Korejanai robot edition, Pentax has reached a new high. And I mean "high" in the drug-smoking sense.
Other than its candy-coated shell (and decapitated robot head), the camera is unchanged from the stock K-r. It does have a matching lens, though, a special-edition version of the 35mm ƒ2.4, which equates roughly to the length of a 50mm when used on a crop-frame body.
The price for this Willy Wonka camera will be ¥99,800, or $1,190, and only 100 will be made (that's precisely 100 too many). Pre-ordering opens at 12PM on December 24th, for delivery in January.

China's economic reform could slow growth
China's economic reform agenda could slow growth on the mainland, and first quarter gross domestic product (GDP) due Wednesday will be closely watched.
These are expected to show the economy is slowing down - partly because that's what the Chinese want it to do as they make certain economic reforms in a bid to ensure longer-term economic health.
The BBC's Rico Hizon asked Catherine Yeung, from Fidelity Worldwide Investment, about her forecasts for the Chinese economy.

Alisha R. Kaiser Announces Spiritual Awakening in New Book
Weed, Calif.
Writing the overview of her own spiritual awakening, author Alisha R. Kaiser shares her "Journey Through the Sol" in the hopes that it will awaken readers' desire to ascertain the meaning of their life purpose from the soul's perspective and provide a blueprint to discover what that purpose is.
"Journey Through the Sol" takes the reader beyond the preliminary works of the 'Celestine Prophecy' and Carlos Castaneda to a vision that opens the mysteries of the cosmos revealing the universal blueprint of creation through the super conscious, where reality truly exists. The story takes shape around a clarion call to action from Eternal Spirit to twelve-star systems within the Andromeda and Milky Way Galaxies. Those who answered the call would act as emissaries of light to anchor in a new reality known as the Golden Age of light and love.
The mission would entail a great transformation of the star's blueprint enabling it to undergo a planetary evolution that would awaken the planetary dream and its relationship with the Cosmos. The real life adventure begins when Eya journeys to earth and awakens her soul memory through dreams, visions and telepathic guidance surrounding coinciding life events. The awakening culminates into a multi-dimensional soul vision entwined with earth's destiny revealing man's purpose on a universal scale.
As simple as a road map for those who want a closer relationship with nature and a spirit and consciousness that will support it, this book offers a unique spiritual perspective based on past and current changes to unravel reader's future potentials individually and collectively.

Please know that the next lines are the product of endless nights looking at this font and continously swearing. Subjectivity may be involved.
That font is..I don't even have words. It's TERRIBLE.. But it does look close to proxima nova / brandon on regular/light uppercase That version looks amazing, but the other ones are just a let down, atleast in my opinion.Though, it's sad that we have to use it, because buyers love it, so there's demand. I'm so happy to know there's somebody out there that also agrees.
lol let's grab some virtual coffee sometime and vent together I'm liking Neutra Text and Proxima Nova Soft these days.
The font 'Raleway' looks horrible on Chrome (especially as a paragraph font). If it were me, I wouldn't use it as the default font in my templates.
- Just a thought
Would anyone be so kind to jump on Skype with me to help me with one of my JS assignments for class? Shouldn't be too long.

GREENWICH – The Beachfront Bushwhack 5-mile cross country run and the Max's Mile kids' run has been postponed indefinitely. The race had been scheduled for Sunday. Tod's Point in Old Greenwich, the site of the race, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Threads and Treads, the race organizer, hoped to postpone the race for one week, but that fell through this week. An alternative date still is being sought. For more information, visit the Threads and Treads website .

It seems that 26 oz inches for torque @6V is not correct. From the datasheet we have Rated Torque = 0.3 kgcm. Since 1 kgcm = 13.9 oz-in then it will be 4.2 oz-in for Rated Torque. You can check it here.
No public wish lists :(

Should you abdicate, abrogate, abjure, or just resign?
Several words may be confused with abdicate through either a similarity of sound or of meaning. Among these are abrogate, abjure, and resign. All of these words have multiple meanings that are quite distinct from one another, yet each also has a degree of semantic overlap that renders them nearly synonymous with at least one of the others.
Abdicate is most often used to describe a head of state or member of a royal family voluntarily renouncing a position. It may also refer to the act of failing to fulfill a duty a responsibility. It shares this second meaning with abrogate (although the "failing to fulfill one's duty" sense of this word is more common in the United Kingdom than in the United States). The senses of abrogate most commonly found are "to annul" or "to do away with."
Abjure may be used to mean "to abstain from" or "to give up," but often is used with the meaning of "to disclaim formally or renounce upon oath" (it comes from the Latin jurare, meaning "to swear").
And finally, resign is often used with the meaning of "to give up one's office or position."
Despite the similarities among these words, they tend to be used in fairly specific settings. You would not typically tell your employer that you are abdicating your position in order to look for a better job; you would say that you are resigning. And when the king of a country renounces his claim on the throne to marry his one true love, he would be said to abdicate, rather than resign, his position.
Did You Know?
If you can't simply wish something out of existence, the next best thing might be to "propose it away." That's more or less what "abrogate" lets you do - etymologically speaking, at least. "Abrogate" comes from the Latin root rogare, which means "to propose a law," and ab-, meaning "from" or "away." We won't propose that you try to get away from the fact that "rogare" is also an ancestor in the family tree of "prerogative" and "interrogate." "Abrogate" first appeared in English as a verb in the 16th century; it was preceded by an adjective sense meaning "annulled" or "cancelled" which is now obsolete.
Origin and Etymology of abrogate
borrowed from Latin abrogātus, past participle of abrogāre, "to repeal (a law), repudiate, cancel," from ab- ab- + rogāre "to ask, ask an assembly for approval of" — more at rogation

I just met with a guy today who's selling a 99.9% condition Baby Eagle. I was in the market for either a EAA Witness (after reading the threads on them here), Beagle, or CZ75, and I received a PM from him about his gun. It is a full-size, steel frame 9mm, with 10 rounds through it. Previous owner bought it for his wife; she shot it and didn't like it, sold it to this fellow who never shot it and kept it in his safe. $400, which is about $70 cheaper than they run in these parts. It's flawless from what I can tell. I only say 99.9% because it has been owned.
I'm so excited! Have to wait until the end of the month though...I'm working a bunch of extra days, but won't get the $$ till the end of the month. I was a little skeptical of a full-size being able to conceal easily, and I'd been planning on a compact version of either of those three, BUT I dropped it in my Cross Breed Super-Tuck and the thing fit very well, and it disappeared! I was wearing shorts and a button-up dress shirt, untucked. OMG OMG OMG I'm so excited!! :smt033:smt033 I bought a P3AT not too long ago, but I didn't get that "Excited" feeling you normally get when buying a gun. That was more of a purchase from a "Ugh, I need something to fill this niche," standpoint. I'm thinking of selling it actually, lol. Ah, crap, I'm rambling. Can ya TELL I'm excited?!?!?! :smt082:smt082:smt082:smt082:smt082

Sarah Wade told a congressional committee that she was fired from her restaurant job because she continually had to take time off to get her wounded husband to Walter Reed hospital for needed medical treatment. He lost an arm and suffered multiple injuries due to a road mine explosion and now must get ongoing assistance at Walter Reed hospital. Mrs. Wade was fired by her employer because she continually had to take time off for hospital visits. "The long term financial challenges," she told members of Congress, "faced by the care providers of our severely injured service members are daunting."
The current Family and Medical Leave Act provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave for those facing medical emergencies. This story illustrates some of the aftermath effects of the Bush war in Iraq. Mrs. Wade is entitled to more than 12 or 24 weeks of unpaid family leave, she is entitled to financial assistance so she can help her injured husband without having to work. President Bush is very concerned about tax problems faced by the wealthy and will seek to help them, one can only wonder if he ever thinks about the Mrs. Wades of this world.

The Rock Bottom Brewery is right next door.
We could also meet at the Pike Brewery on Saturday night if that's more convenient. Let's pick a place for Saturday night libations and see how many can attend.
Printable View
Actually, check that.. I think the Tap House Brewery will be the place to go on Saturday night.
re tailgating ..... my wife's nephew (who will be tailgating with us) sent me this note:
I'll either disseminate map & directions via e-mail next week, or post the map if I can figure out how to do it -- unless, do any of you have photobucket or something similar which can be linked from here? Again, this is within a few blocks of the stadium, with street parking if you get there sufficiently early.Quote:
25 people are ok. He has a grill. They have some food but best to bring what we need. Will get a map of the area with where the free parking is, and send that to you this week.
I'll check into getting some disposable coolers and ice, but anyone driving up may need to help.
If anyone is flying in for the game and cannot purchase tailgate food or beer, let me know and I'll see if I can handle it. I'll be arriving late afternoon Saturday and will do minimal shopping, but I don't want to be stuck with buying a dozen varieties of meat and beers for 25 people again.
Let's also start a sound-off of who plans to attend the tailgate arty:
my group = 4 tailgating (4 to go directly to the game)
MikeK coming from Portland = 4 (I'll - I'll try to wake him up to participate here)
One thing to consider.. the east coast games start at 10 AM PST.... So if you're tailgating prior to this game, you're going to miss the early games.
Me and my buddy may just go to one of the stadium area sports bars to catch the early games.
Mista T, my wife and I are arriving Friday and will be attending
I'm going to inbox you my number and can either pay you in Jax or figure out the details for what your nephew may need help with
Hey T whats up. Im going out to Seattle too. Ive got 5 in my group plus my brother is bringing another 7 up from Oregon. All Ravens fans!
Does this tailgate have Tv's? cuz Ravenboy brings up a good point about the "early" games starting at 10am.
We Arrive Thursday, staying at the Marriot Pioneer Square. Friday we are going to tour the city and get a tour of the Stadium and Saturday we may go up to Anacortes and go whale watching in the San Juan Islands. Definitely looking for a place to all meet saturday night.
Do you have the exact location of the tailgate? we havent made up our mind yet what we are doing yet before the game.
P.S. for those that havent bought tickets yet and like to drink:
"Lower Level section 100 contains both no-alcohol and alcohol-permitted seating areas. Rows K to Z followed by Rows AA to DD are no-alcohol seating. Tickets in Section 100 will be mapped to the alcohol permitted portion of the section unless specified by the seller as no alcohol" Dont sit in section 100 at Seahawks Stadium.
I'm new to this site. I am a huge Ravens fan, but stuck/live in Seattle. Of course going to the Ravens game in November, and would like to meet up with other Ravens fans. I see in the thread that there is potentially group seating. I would be very interested if any are still available. I know I'm late to the party, so if not, no big deal. If someone can let me know what section, I will try to get tix nearby at least. My brother is coming out from Baltimore, so would need 2 seats. Any group tailgating plans? I was at the game in 2007 and it was a little disheartening, but that was obviously a down year.
Section 343
Row BB Seats 5-14
Row CC Seats 1-15
Row DD Seats 3-12
Row EE Seats 5-8 & 25-26
It would do one of our a group a favor to pick up the single that's right now an excess ticket, and you may be able to get another seat at the group rate of $55 (which is $10 below the Seahawks face value via Ticketmaster). Best bet would be to take this offline, since there are private e-mails and phone numbers involved. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll see what we can do to get you into our group.
As to tailgate partying: of course! See below for some details.
Here's more tailgating info ... can we please get a sound-off as to how many are coming, so we can make sure that we have enough room and facilities.
Pacific Auto Body
1048 6th Avenue South
note: a few blocks walk to stadium and Light Rail
Big Screen TV <---- pay attention! ravensfan1996 & Ravenboy2003
Free Street Parking (up until about 9:30am):
on the streets bounding BMW of Seattle: Plummer Street, Maynard, 7th Ave South, South Charles
Otherwise: cash lots along Airport Way towards the stadium $15 to $30
Price: Nothing -- but please bring something extra such as junk food, munchies, beers whatever to add to the community pot
You bring: beer & food (raw meats OK)
I have the OK to bring along at least 25 fans. If we go over, it's likely OK. If too crowded, we should be able to spill over along the sidewalk and side street.
Please let me know how many are coming.
Hey Mista T and ravens nation, new to the site. My fiance and I were looking at places to stay for this game and came across this site. Originally from the 410 and now have been in OR for the last year and half, missing home like crazy and would love to party with some good Baltimore folk before this game! Wondering if we could join in for the taligate,( we would of course contribute beer/food/whatever is needed) and if you guys had any info on the most convenient place to stay near the stadium. Also, would love to know where people are drinking on Saturday night. Thanks for any info you could pass us. Were sitting in Lower level Charter 112 row C, hope to see yall there. Go RAVENS!

The clock is ticking away
Elderly people will account for an increasing share of Europe's population whereas the working age population (15-64) is projected to drop by 15 per cent by 2060, the Brussels Economic Forum concluded recently.
During the forum it emerged that Malta is included in the group of EU member states that is expected to be most affected by the impact of aging across Europe.
The forum, a gathering of decision-makers, social partners and media, is the EU's premier platform for economic debate and was first set up in 2000.
During the forum, the 2009 Aging Report published by Economic Policy Committee - made up of senior officials from the finance ministries and central banks of the EU member states - was presented.
By 2020 labour growth will give a negative contribution to growth potential in the EU, the forum was told. As a result, average potential growth will fall below two per cent per year in about 10 years' time.
A breakdown of age-related expenditure in the EU27 as a percentage of GDP clearly shows the effects of an aging population. Spending on education and unemployment benefits will decrease slightly while spending on pensions, health care and long-term care will increase by large percentages.
Pension, health care and long-term care spending will be most impacted by aging, although infrastructure, housing and education may also be affected. Moreover, even the current projections may be optimistic. According to Carlo Cottarelli of the International Monetary Fund, technological change, while offering new cures, will increase spending on health care to as high as 11 per cent of GDP by 2060. Mr Cottarelli cited the historically high cost of technology in the US and other countries to support his assertion.
Over the next 50 years, the EU will move from having four working-age people for every person aged over 65 to a ratio of 2 to 1. There will be more workers over the age of 65 and more women working, but overall the workforce is expected to shrink by about 19 million people by the year 2060.
By 2060, nearly one in three citizens in the EU27 will be over the age of 65. While the proportion of people aged 65 to 79 will increase by almost 50 per cent, the most striking change in population structure will occur in the oldest age group, people aged 80 and above.
This group will nearly triple in size. With the proportion of the working age population falling, the support ratio of dependents to people of working age is set to soar. By 2060, the EU will have two working age people for every dependent person over 65, compared with four to one in 2009.
Immigration to Europe should help release some of the pressure, but not much of it, the forum heard. Net inward migration to EU countries is projected to decelerate, and the bulk of net migration flows (nearly 40 per cent by 2060) will be concentrated in a handful of countries: Italy, Spain, Germany and the UK.
"The impact of the financial crisis pales compared to demographic problems," said Robert Holzmann of the World Bank. Yet the crisis has made a bad situation even worse. It has, for example, reduced the value of assets to finance retirements by 20-25 per cent, according to an estimate by Mr Holzmann, and has hit state-supported and private pension funds alike. Additional scenarios included in the Aging Report suggest that the impact of the economic downturn depends upon whether it's a temporary or permanent shock.
Joaquín Almunia, Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, warned that delays in turning around Europe's fiscal and social structures would only make the problems worse - especially in the current economic crisis. "The crisis is increasing public debt, and that increases the urgency of our task," he said. He called for long-term fiscal sustainability, an increase in overall employment rates, and reforms to adapt social systems to the changing situation.
The impact of aging across the EU member states over the next 50 years is expected to be highest in Luxembourg, Greece, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, The Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Ireland with public spending increases of seven per cent of GDP or more.
The "medium impact countries" - which will witness an increase in public spending of four to seven percentage points of GDP - are Belgium, Finland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Germany and Hungary.
The last group of EU member states are the "low impact countries" which are expected to see an increase in public spending of four percentage points of GDP or less. Most of these countries have implemented substantial pension reforms, in several cases involving a partial switch to private pension schemes - Bulgaria, Sweden, Portugal, Austria, France, Denmark, Italy, Latvia, Estonia and Poland.
The panel of experts on aging at the forum agreed that more reform was urgently required. Facing down increased pension costs by reducing debt is an option that has been "derailed by the crisis," Mr Cottarelli said. Instead, further increases in retirement ages may be required, as may some rationalisation of health care - a much more politically sensitive issue.
According to the Aging Report, there is a window of opportunity - a period of about 10 years during which labour forces will increase - for implementing the structural reforms needed by aging societies. In the future, growth will have to come from increased productivity.
Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg warned that the public still didn't appreciate the gravity of the aging trends, which need to be dealt with now. "If we want people to return to the labour force, there is a need for further labour tax cuts, especially for women and the low-skilled," he added.
Dick Sluimers of the APG ALL Pensions Group said the private sector was an "essential" element to any solution. "Further development of funded pension systems - preferably collective funded pension systems - is essential to supplement future generations with an adequate and sustainable retirement income," he said.
But he underlined the political risks of fundamental reform, pointing out that "future retirees may demand higher pension benefits through the ballot box". In The Netherlands, political parties for the elderly already have considerable power, he noted.
In addition, pension funds should be better organised and regulated, it was argued, to insure against a repeat of the implications of sharp falls in assets seen over the last year. Martine Durand, deputy director of the OCED, also emphasised the human consequences of pension reform.
Cutting entitlements for low-income pensioners might be sustainable on a fiscal level, she said, but probably not on a social level.
The Stockholm European Council in 2001 identified a three-pronged strategy to cope with the economic and budgetary challenges posed by aging populations, namely, reducing debt at a fast pace; raising employment rates and productivity; and reforming pension, health care and long-term care systems.
The European Commission identified five policy goals in October 2006 in its communication on the demographic future of Europe, namely: Promote demographic renewal in Europe by creating better conditions for families; promote employment in Europe with more jobs and longer working lives of better quality; make Europe more productive and dynamic; receive and integrate migrants in Europe; and secure sustainable public finances in Europe, thus guaranteeing adequate social security and equity between the generations.

Joan Joyce Mancini
Mancini, Joan Joyce, age 77, of Mahopac, NY, formerly of Purdys, NY, died Friday, July 24, 2009. She was the wife of Anthony 'Tony' Mancini.
Mrs. Mancini was born on June 3, 1932 in Bronx, NY to John and Catherine (Joyce) Busher. She graduated from Somers High School and the Berkley Secretarial School in White Plains, NY. Mrs. Mancini became secretary to the Vice President of CBS in Manhattan following school, but not for very long before her husband 'to be' swept her off her feet!
Joan married Tony on November 29, 1953 at St. Joseph's Church in Croton Falls, NY.
