Mississippi Historical Society
The Mississippi Historical Society was organized in Jackson on November 9, 1858, under the scholarly leadership of B.L.C. Wailes, but survived less than two years. Reorganization efforts, beginning in 1890, bore fruit eight years later at the University of Mississippi when the Society issued fourteen volumes of the Mississippi Historical Society Publications under the editorship of Franklin L. Riley, professor of history at the university.
In 1902 the Society led in the creation of the Department of Archives and History, and the executive committee of the Society's board of directors became the first board of trustees of the department. The Journal of Mississippi History, a scholarly publication, was begun in 1939 and has been published jointly since then by the Society and the Department of Archives and History.
In 1964 the Mississippi Historical Society brought back into print J.F.H. Claiborne's Mississippi as a Province, Territory, and State, long a collector's item. Since the publication of that classic, the Society has taken an active role in producing significant books on the history of the state; in fact, the Society has produced at least one major book in each decade.
In 1973 the Society, in cooperation with the Department of Archives and History, the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, and the University and College Press, published the first comprehensive history of Mississippi in fifty years, a two-volume set entitled A History of Mississippi, edited by R.A. McLemore.
In 1987 the Society sponsored the first popular illustrated history of this state, Mississippi: An Illustrated History, written by Edward Akin and published by Windsor Publishing Company. The book was updated in 2003 by Charles Bolton, history professor at the University of Southern Mississippi who has since become chair of the history department at the University of North Carolina.
In 1992 the Society announced the establishment of a major book series spanning the history of Mississippi. Fifteen books, each covering an important subject or era, will be published. The books will be written for a broad audience of scholars, teachers, students, and interested general readers. Six books have been published in the series: Art in Mississippi, 1720-1980, by Patti Carr Black, was published in November 1998; Religion in Mississippi by Randy J. Sparks, was published in July 2001; Rednecks, Redeemers, and Race: Mississippi after Reconstruction, 1877-1917 by Stephen Cresswell was published in April 2006; Mississippi in the Civil War: The Home Front by Timothy B. Smith was published in June 2010; The Civil War in Mississippi: Major Campaigns and Battles by Michael B. Ballard was published in March 2011; and Mississippi's American Indians by James F. Barnett Jr. was published in April 2012.
In August 2000, the Society launched this online publication, Mississippi History Now, to strengthen its educational and leadership role in order to generate a broader interest in Mississippi history. Articles are archived on the site and provide a rich source of Mississippi history.
The Mississippi Historical Society has provided programs and produced books, maps, brochures, and other materials aimed towards the education of the general public. Annual meetings provide distinguished speakers, tours of historic sites, and special events. The Mississippi Historical Society provides annual grants to support programs of the Junior Historical Society, which has chapters in schools across the state. A constant goal of the Society is to increase its membership.
The 2016-2017 officers and board of directors of the Society are: Officers: William "Brother" Rogers, Stennis Center for Public Service, president; Susannah J. Ural, University of Southern Mississippi, vice president; Elbert R. Hilliard, Madison, secretary-treasurer; and Dennis J. Mitchell, Mississippi State University, immediate past president.

My car was not equipped with navigation from the factory but I have a line on one off of a wrecked Escalade from a buddy and was just seeing if it was plug and play minus the dealer having to link the unit to my VIN number.

2008 FORECAST: Survival of the Fittest in 2008
January 15, 2008
FEATURE ARTICLE | Statistics, Markets & Trends
Window and door executives across the country are adopting the following mantra for 2008: What doesn't kill us will make us stronger.
It goes without saying that we're in for another tough year, but many industry representatives believe the survival-of-the-fittest phase that will mark this year will result in a leaner, meaner fenestration industry on the other side of the downturn. Many companies jumped on the window and door bandwagon during the peak new construction years of 2004 and 2005 when housing starts flirted with the 2 million mark and homeowners were easily manipulating home equity opportunities to make upgrades. Now the honeymoon is over, and macroeconomic conditions and financial headlines are not good—subprime lending is a mess, oil prices are beating their own records regularly and home values in some overheated regions have gone out with the tide. As the downturn and eventual first signs of recovery stretch out over another calendar year, the fittest window and door manufacturers, suppliers and dealers will still be standing on the other side, industry respondents say. "I think that the strong will survive and thrive in this market and in the end there will be several less competitors to fight with," says Alan Levin, president and CEO of Northeast Building Products, a manufacturer based in Philadelphia.
"I suspect manufacturers that survive will be healthier on the other side," agrees Dave Koester, brand manager for Weather Shield Windows & Doors. "It will be a time of cleansing for the industry.
"It's a down year," he continues. "Everyone is fighting for business so I think it will be a year of returning to the basics—build a practical window that is energy efficient, performs well and looks decent."
Practically all industry executives are bracing for a tough year, but that's not to say some aren't entirely up for the challenge. "While we need to be responsive to the challenging market conditions by aligning our costs and capacity, we know we can't cut our way to prosperity," says Dave Haddix, senior vice president and chief financial officer for Therma-Tru Doors. "We must continue to focus on delivering demonstrable value, quality and service to our customers and all the way down the channel. That way, we'll be poised and ready for growth when the market turns around.
"As I've told our associates," Haddix adds, "the future is bright. I just wish we could fast forward."
We are "almost certainly looking at another down year," says David Seiders, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders. Citing mortgage and credit problems; home sales, housing starts and permits all being down; and weak demand coupled with heavy inventory, he noted, "The question is will we be seeing the bottom in 2008?"
In the new construction market, Seiders and his team of economists at NAHB figure new housing starts will be in the less-than-a-million range for 2008. This is a considerable dip from the record-high levels of nearly 1.8 million annual starts just a few years ago (Fig. 2). Seiders expects 2007 starts will end up just over the million mark at about 1.07 million and thinks 2008 will come in around 911,000 starts for the year. By 2009, the NAHB team believes starts will peek up over the one million line again.
While some industry representatives argue that certain segments of the new construction market—including more reasonably priced entry-level homes and upper-end custom homes—will continue to fare well in the down market, the middle-market that has dominated new construction starts for the first half of this decade will undoubtedly be hurting through 2008. "For the tract builder, it looks pretty bad," says Larry Crouch, director of national and international sales for Cascade Windows. "A lot of them still have too much inventory and some have even more than others."
While just about everyone agrees that new construction will continue to struggle, the replacement and remodeling market presents a more mixed outlook. Homeowner spending in 2007 dropped more than 2 percent from 2006, and analysts at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies expect the slight downward trend to continue into 2008 (Fig. 2). "As homeowners become increasingly concerned about falling house prices and a slowing economy, home improvement spending is dragging," says Nicolas Retsinas, director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies. "Coupled with very modest home sales, spending levels are likely to fall."
"The recent problems in credit markets are expected to dramatically reduce the level of cash-out mortgage refinancing activity," adds Kermit Baker, director of the Remodeling Futures Program of the Joint Center. "Given that equity withdrawals have been a key source of funding for home improvements, market spending is expected to suffer."
Global Insight, which examines the home improvement products market for the Home Improvement Research Institute, is more optimistic for 2008 (Fig. 3). While it too estimates sales of residential repair and remodeling products were down in 2007 (1.3 percent), it sees growth of 2.2 percent this coming year to a total $315.6 billion. It is more bullish for the long-term, but suggests problems in the new housing market will keep growth below trend until 2009.
Window and door industry watchers see a certain amount of growth in the replacement arena, particularly for homeowners who are looking for energy efficiency or need to repair non-functional products. "Much of this pent-up demand is not truly discretionary," says Michael Collins, an investment analyst with Jordan, Knauff & Co. "In other words, these repairs need to be made, although they may be put off because of concerns regarding home values. If the market stabilizes at all in 2008, I believe a good portion of this repair and remodeling business that has been 'on the sidelines' will be completed."
Dick Wilhelm, executive director of the Fenestration Manufacturers Association, says manufacturers and distributors in the Southeast region of the country are already seeing a significant uptick in remodeling work. Pointing to a recent gathering, he reports, "They were emphatic that it is increasing. Several of them told us that a lot of builders they deal with are sending out letters to existing homeowners and telling them that they are in business for the remodel. They say, 'We've got the labor force, we can get in there and get it done.' Remodeling is indeed increasing in the Southeast market, according to these guys."
Others within the industry don't see the increase yet, at least on a national basis. "Until credit becomes easily available and home values start back up, I see remodeling on the same track as new construction," says Wayne Gorell, president and CEO of Gorell Windows & Doors. "I believe it will decrease again next year commensurate with new construction."
Despite the primarily bleak outlook for the industry in many segments of the market and in many areas of the country, there are companies that are faring relatively well. Crouch says Cascade has continued to grow throughout 2007 and the company was hiring additional sales people heading into 2008. "There are a lot of window manufacturers that would have been ecstatic if they could have finished '07 over '06 so we feel pretty good about what we've done," he says. "You provide a good product at a reasonable price and get it to the customer the way they wanted it, and they'll come back. It's real basic stuff."
Going back to the basics is going to be the key to the survival of the fittest shake out this year, many industry observers predict. "When the market is down, as it is now, everyone in the buying process—from the homeowner to the builder or remodeler to the distributor—places more focus on quality, service and delivery," says Chris Monroe, vice president of marketing for Simonton Windows. "Energy efficiency and low maintenance were the most popular qualities in windows we sold in 2007 and we expect that to be the case again in 2008."
In many instances, consumers are moving away from the commodity mentality that has previously dominated the industry toward an expectation for quality and performance, says John Stephenson, president of Great Lakes Window. "It is clearly a buyer's market, and they know it," he points out. "They expect quality and they are more educated than ever."
Manufacturers won't be the only ones in the supply chain getting leaner in 2008. Dealers and distributors will also have to focus on core competencies to emerge from the contracted market. "In the distribution channel, dealers and yards will face the same challenges as manufacturers," says Weather Shield's Koester. "They, too, will have to evaluate their operations and only the strong will survive. The dealers who know their products, service their customers well, and run efficient businesses, will survive."
Many manufacturers, including Weather Shield, will turn more attention to retailers this year in an attempt to weather the storm. "Weather Shield is supporting dealers with training programs to help them survive and we'll continue to offer those programs and perhaps others throughout 2008," Koester notes.
Partnership along the supply chain will be critical this year, agrees Steve Dawson, chief financial officer and executive vice president of sales for CGI Windows & Doors. "In this climate, manufacturers need to reach out to new customers, new markets and work closely with their distributors to close the sale."
A significant challenge for all industries this year—fenestration being no exception—is accelerating oil prices. "With oil at or above $90 per barrel, it will definitely have an impact on manufacturing costs, particularly in the vinyl industry," says Paul Langer, national sales manager for remodeling and replacement products, Peachtree Doors & Windows.
Beyond material prices such as the resin for vinyl, window and door manufacturers will also continue to combat shipping costs that come at the hands of high-priced fuel. "Given the fact that alternative fuels in this country are a sliver of the total energy market, there is no reason to believe that oil prices will return to their historical lows any time in the foreseeable future," says Collins. "If companies are continuing to fulfill orders that are marginally profitable because of shipping expenses in the hope that gas prices will drop, they should probably eliminate that business unless a fuel surcharge will completely cover their additional expenses."
Joe Gaskins, co-owner and vice president of sales for MGM Industries, seconds the motion. "Price increases may be a reality for 2008."
In addition to the macroeconomic factors at play, there are a few other hurdles on which the window and door industry may stumble this year. One tune that many producers are singing concerns proposed changes to Energy Star requirements. The Department of Energy is considering tightening requirements to return the Energy Star label to its once elite status in the marketplace. "I think the biggest concern in the industry today is the concern that Energy Star will lower the [numbers] too low and it will cost manufacturers millions to meet them," says Northeast Building Products' Levin. "I have received multiple e-mails from competitors worried about this. I think that it can turn the industry upside down."
Others are closely watching the progression of class action lawsuits threatening the industry. Henry Taylor, president of Architectural Testing, says testing facilities such as his are increasingly coming to the aid of window manufacturers who are taken to court over construction defect issues. In the last 15 years, the company has gone from practically no field testing to 15 two-man crews doing field testing every day, he says. The demand has prompted the company to open a second office to assist manufacturers in these types of cases. "These window manufacturers will fix their problems at no cost, and yet they get saddled with high insurance premiums and high attorney fees," Taylor says. "I think one of the biggest threats and biggest concerns to this industry is the class action lawsuits. I have started this forensic department to help defend the manufacturers, not the plaintiffs, sort out the facts [of what's actually happening in the field]."
Manufacturers will also face growing number of imports from China and other areas of the world, particularly in the commodity end of the market, warns Collins. "When imports continue to grow at a healthy clip in an environment where the overall market growth is very modest, they can only do so by taking market share from domestic companies," he points out.
Consolidation may continue as a trend in 2008, and closures and downsizing may overshadow merger and acquisition activity, some predict. "Times like this are always an opportune time for consolidation and acquisitions," says Mike McElroy, president of interior door replacement company Highmark Digital. "Shake-ups are good. It makes us really think about our business."
"It could well be that there will be fewer manufactures on the other end of this downturn," says Koester. "I think we'll see many manufacturers consolidating or going out of business."
Many believe that this year may end on a better footing than it began. While it's still anyone's guess, there are plenty of analysts who believe the market may begin moving in an upward direction by the last quarter of 2008.
"I'm playing the optimist that our economy won't slide into a recession," says Koester. "Job creation is still strong, interest rates are low. We've yet to see how the subprime lending problem will impact the economy in the long term. I foresee, and am hoping, it won't become a recession."
In fact, it could be job creation, low interest rates or even the outcome of the presidential election that gets the ship back on course, some say. "Any macroeconomic factor that would boost consumer confidence and influence affordability for both remodeling projects and new home purchases will help steer the industry on the road to recovery," says Therma-Tru's Haddix.
Those who are handling the downturn well will likely be ready to pounce when the pendulum does swing. "I think that 'cash is king' and the strong will get great deals on equipment and materials and be ready for when the market turns," says Levin. "We have had almost every equipment company in trying to sell us equipment at huge discounts. We are taking advantage of these deals and still modernizing our facility, knowing that when it does turn, we'll be ready."
While many view the proverbial glass as half empty, others are viewing 2008 as a year like any other—one ripe for business expansion and, hopefully, profits. "Pragmatism, building products, and more specifically windows and doors have lost market volumes approaching 50 percent over the last two years," says Gorell, "but that means there are still hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on windows and doors. Don't look at how bad the decline has been; look at how you can get your share of the hundreds of millions still being spent and available to you."

I'm gonna check it out after the holiday. Glad it was decent.
This is a discussion on Saw the new Red Dawn movie ( lots of guns shootings) within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; My shooting team partner wanted to see it so we went out and saw the new release. Our wives at home working on the meal ...
My shooting team partner wanted to see it so we went out and saw the new release. Our wives at home working on the meal for tomorrow.
I liked the new plot of the movie and the action parts were good. Except the shaking effect they used maybe due to poor stunt men.
Kinda gets you thinking about a SHTF situation.
My partner saw the new Bond film last night. if you have a choice go to the bond film first.
I'm gonna check it out after the holiday. Glad it was decent.

Seen the movie this afternoon with my son. Just my opinion, the original was better. Lot's of good shooting action though.

Thru Hull Replacement
I just added a new thru hull for a salt rinse on the anchor pulpit. Mine was a bit thicker but not to matter. Use a bigger area 3/4" Teak or if you must Epoxied Plywood backing plate to spread the load. I think you will be fine with the countersink, just remove only as much as you need to flush it. At 1/4", still the head of the machine screw is flush with the hull and compressed in the countersink, and that load distributed over the back plate so I can''t see it pulling through or failing.
Thru Hull Replacement
I just removed old corroded thru hulls this weekend on my Bristol 29''9. I have purchased new thru hulls and Apollo flush mount seacocks as replacements.
When I removed the old bronze, I was surprised to find the hull was only 1/2" thick where all thru hulls were mounted. I plan to mount the new hardware on a 3/4" epoxied plywood backing pad.
The seacock is secured by screwing directly into the thru hull. Three machine screws, flush mounted from the exterior hull up through the backing pad and through eyes on the seacock are also part of the configuration.
My concern is this: if the hull is only 1/2" thick and I countersink the mounting screws, that will leave me with 1/4" or less actual hull material through which the screws will be situated. Now, even though these screws will be covered in 5200 and the backing pad will be secured to the hull with 5200 - the hull just seems a little thin. Any advice or comments out there on this? Anyone who has changed their thru hulls must have encountered this.

An American library firm that entered the UK market to great fanfare earlier this year has had to beat a retreat, admitting that the attempt has been tougher than expected.
A slug of judicial reviews and lack of tenders by local authorities, which are nervous of outsourcing their library services to independent providers, were among the reasons cited.
LSSI, based in Maryland, which runs more than 70 libraries in the US, had set itself targets of managing 15 per cent of public libraries within the next five years. The radical new model for libraries included books offered alongside coffee evenings, murder mystery nights, poetry performances and open mic sessions. But the company has conceded that entering the UK market at a time of such upheaval has been difficult. "It has not been easy and we're still waiting to see if the UK is ready yet for the idea of library privatisation," said its chief executive Brad King. The company is currently revising its targets for next year and intends to continue forging relationships with local authorities, but would not set a definitive target for next year.
It comes as the Culture, Media and Sport select committee has announced the launch of an inquiry into library closures. The inquiry will investigate whether planned closures across the UK are compatible with the 1964 Libraries and Museums Act. The committee chairman, John Whittingdale, is asking for submissions on what constitutes "a comprehensive and efficient library service", on the impact library closures have on local communities, and on the effectiveness of the secretary of state's powers of intervention.

text: Hi, Question: 1. If we have, say animalshop.tld and animalshopping.tld set up because we want to ensure people finding our shop, and then want to set up a mailaccount which works for both the domains - is this what domain alias is use for? Because, what I normally whould do was to set up say email@example.com as the "Mailbox" to use, and then set up a "Email Forward" from firstname.lastname@example.com --> firstname.lastname@example.com 2. Setting the "Email Domain" with SpamFilter "Normal" - will be a standard setting for all mailboxes for this domain. So if you set "SpamFilter" in "Email Domain" you do not need to set "spamFilter" in the mailbox unless you want an other setting. Is this correct? 3. Regarding "Domain Alias" Is this a bug? If we setup a "Email Domain" animalshop.tld and animalshopping.tld and then a "Domain Alias" from animalshop.tld --> animalshopping.tld. Then we create the "Mailbox firstname.lastname@example.com.. If someone sends a mail to firstname.lastname@example.com (has no mailbox-only domain alias) it will arrive at firstname.lastname@example.com as it should!! But, if we then make the email@example.com a "Email Catchall" shouldn't the mail to hullahop@animalshopping arrive at email@example.com ??? If not, shouldn't we be able to create the "Email Catchall" animalshopping.tld --> firstname.lastname@example.com? The error message when sending a mail firstname.lastname@example.com which via "Alias Domain" and "Catchall" should arrive at email@example.com is: Final-Recipient: rfc822; email@example.com Original-Recipient: rfc822;email@example.com Action: failed Status: 5.4.4 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=animalshop.tld type=AAAA: Host not found Is the solution to setup mailboxes for both domains and forget all about "Domain Alias" ??? Or is there someone who has the solution.. If I am very qurious about knowing this Thanks in advance

Ottawa Senators face enviable dilemma in goal
Craig Anderson's injured hand is healing nicely, allowing the veteran goaltender to resume practicing in full gear in Ottawa.
Hot prospect Robin Lehner fared well during earlier stints this season. Newcomer Ben Bishop, acquired from the Blues organization before the trade deadline, is 2-0-1 with a 2.27 goals against average and .926 save percentage since being recalled from Binghamton.
So this is a nice scenario for Senators coach Paul MacLean.
"We'll evaluate it day by day, but obviously Ben has played real good," MacLean told the Ottawa Sun. "Robin played fine while he was here, too."
As for Anderson . . .
"He took some shots today, which was again progress," MacLean said. "So we're going to keep going every day, I guess, to see if he gets better and better.
"He's just trying to get into it and get comfortable with his glove and his stick, making sure there's a comfortable level before he starts to really get into it."
For now Bishop is the guy, with veteran Alex Auld backing him up and Lehner toiling in Binghamton of the American Hockey League. At some point Lehner and Bishop could flip again as the organizational tries to keep both players on track.
What will the Senators do next season? Will they alternate Bishop and Lehner behind Anderson and try to keep them all busy.

Ashbury Goggles
They're really good looking and seem like they would fit under my helmet well. I even like alll the riders on the team. Are they good googgles? I see them for like $50 now too
Are they new? I've never heard of them and too lazy to google. Do you have a link?
Stamped lenses with sprayed on coatings nothing special.
Ashbury Eyewear - Goggles
They're pretty popular, atleast here in Oregon
They look nice, but for $50, why not pick up something tired and true like VZ Feenoms? I got a pair from Sierra for $42 shipped (not too sure if they have any left at this price, though).
Yeah I picked some of those up at TightBoards.com
They're popular because all the scenesters in snowboarding wear them. They don't offer anything special. They're where Oakley and Smith were 10 years ago. Flat stamped lenses are optical crap!
goggles are goggles within a given price range. optics don't really matter all that much and to what degree is it marketing? if you're lucky your vision is obscurred by snow anyway. they are the new hot thang though, thats for sure. if you like them and they fit your face i'm sure they will work out for you. you don't need 200 Joakleys to enjoy your day snowboarding. 200 goggles won't increase your fun level or make you a better rider.
Do they fit your face?

Subtle or strong: it's up to you and your personality how much to spray. You can always spray it again.
Wait! Change of scent? Just get a new coin and spray spray spray.

Letter to the Editor: Voter ID ruling deserves consideration
Randy Cornman's March 12 letter ("Like gun rights, voter ID makes sense") raises an important issue that I would like to respond to.
Mr. Cornman and I share an important point of agreement in our opposition to voter fraud. Where I disagree with him is on the matters of whether voter impersonation fraud (the only major type of fraud addressed by the voter ID laws) is frequent enough to warrant voter ID laws and whether such laws are an appropriate solution.
The major objection I have to Mr. Cornman's letter is his treatment of Judge McGinley's rejection of the Pennsylvania voter ID law. The opinion — freely available online — consists of 103 pages of testimony, references and conclusions that I think make a very strong case against the law.
According to the opinion, the state offered no evidence that impersonation fraud is even a problem in Pennsylvania, while experts for petitioners confirmed the rarity of voter impersonation and the restrictive effects of the law (for example, the difficulty for some in obtaining acceptable ID).
Mr. Cornman contended that it is not difficult to obtain an acceptable ID, but the facts presented in the opinion raise serious questions as to whether this is the case. In my view, even if one disagrees with the facts suggested by the opinion, McGinley's argument is owed much more consideration than "a blatantly politically partisan, totally illogical decision." McGinley's argument would be "illogical" if he had no good reasons supporting his conclusion, but by my reading, he had plenty. If one wants to wrestle with his argument, it should at least be presented fairly.
Furthermore, there was a particularly notorious statement in the 2012 elections that calls the true motivations of the law into question.
State Rep. Mike Turzai was quoted as saying that voter ID "is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania." Google "Mike Turzai voter ID" to see and hear for yourself; videos of the statement are widespread. To me, Turzai's comment suggests a partisan motivation for the bill.
In my opinion, the restrictions of voter ID laws tend to sacrifice the voting ability of many qualified voters, to solve a narrow problem that is virtually nonexistent. By the laws' natures, they tend to chiefly affect people of certain political leanings, and Turzai's comment is further suggestive that partisan motivations are at work. Hence, I agree with Judge McGinley's decision to strike the bill down.

Response to Poor Tippers Need To Understand Reality:
Jesus, every time an article like this comes up, all the cheap asses come out. Also the "not my fault the restaurant doesn't pay" blah blah blah. First, common sense:
You are paying a person to ask you what you want to eat, what you want to drink, bring that to your table, keep your drink full, make recommendations, keep your table clear of dirty plates, and generally make your life nicer during the time span of your meal. If you don't feel like that service is worthy of paying extra for, go to a fast food restaurant or some other place that does not offer table service.Want better food than that? Learn to cook, or expect to tip. Now the math:
Restaurants, especially privately owned (ie not corporate chains) do NOT make a lot of money. After they pay overhead, and chef/cook/manager salaries and food cost, the profit margin on their product is very very slim. Now, they could set up a restaurant where some angry cook yells WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT when you come in and COME GET YOUR FOOD when it's ready, but you probably wouldn't go to that restaurant more than once. So they hire someone to get your order and deliver it and make sure you're happy. If they had to pay a commensurate rate for that job (which is more than minimum wage for dealing with your picky ass), they would likely just increase the cost of everything you eat and drink by 20%. Instead, they give you the opportunity to evaluate the servers hospitality, and pay appropriately, starting at 20%. If this isn't your cup of tea, learn to cook.
Here is the problem with current SNL writers: Having the village people guys show us is funny. Having them do the ymca dance is overkill. Having Pharaoh do the actual verse completely bludgeons the joke to a bloody pulp.

Hey Benny, I got your next article for you:
"Five Amusing Anecdotes About People With The Occasional Mood Swing That I'm Going to Label SCHIZOPHRENIA!" Wait, how about "Cancer Can Be Funny, Right Guys?"
To be fair, you may be right. See, I was born a middle class white male, and a a result, I've never really been subject to real hate speak (sure I was called fat a lot, but lots of us have!). I'd like to think that if the onion called a nine year old boy a dickhead, or a douche, or a cockface, or something like that, I'd be just as up in arms*, but I can't say for sure, because I think if someone called me that when I was 9, I might not be as disturbed about it. I do know that personally, If I ever hear someone call my daughter a c*nt at any age, I'd be way more riled up than a gender relevant slight at my son. I'm willing to admit that that's not fair and balanced. I imagine it has a lot to do with the entire history we have of marginalizing women, so a slight like that seems extra vicious to me. Same as someone calling a white guy a cracker or a honky will never have the same impact as a white guy using the n word. *I'm not as up in arms at the onion. They ran a bad tweet, it got noticed, yanked, and an official apology was issued. I'm more angry at every "come on bro it was funny" internet troll saying they shouldn't have apologized.
Look, little girl, I know you're only 9, but SWAMPDONKEY says people can insult you all they want and no one should get bent out of shape about it. Why? Well, because you were in a movie, sweetie. I know, I know, that sounds crazy, but honey, SWAMPDONKEY says that's how the world works, and, you know, internet!
You know, I'm usually the first to defend a place like The Onion in situations, but hell, they apologized, and they were right to. Every guy in here defending that tweet must have no daughter, sister, or mother.

Oh, Ray is nuts. Probably certifiable. I just get tired of everyone becoming FBI experts in terms of his arrest 12 years ago. He obstructed justice to try to keep his name out of a murder and protect his nfl career. He plead to it, and served time for it. Had he just plead not guilty, like the people that actually stabbed and killed the victims, he would have been acquitted just like they were. He donates millions of dollars and thousands of hours to the homeless around our city, but that never gets brought up. Just a case people know nothing about.
I've only recently seen guys doing aerial tricks with snowmobiles, and could only think "THAT IS A VERY BAD IDEA."
Also, everyone loves to bring up Atlanta when the Ravens win. Baltimore does well and the rest of the country is suddenly expert investigators who happened to be there 12 years ago and know exactly what happened and disagree with court documents.
Raven haters keep hating. Nice bias on this site.
As a guy who hates the use of the word retarded as a pejorative, his initial use irritates me, however, I like that he noticed he said it then corrected his mistake. People have used that word in that fashion for a long time, including myself, before we necessarily understood the weight of it, so I can understand the slip, and appreciate him saying "I shouldn't say that.". Full disclosure, I'm a Ravens fan too, so maybe I'm extra forgiving, but if the same quote came out of Tom Brady I probably still wouldn't get bent out of shape, as long as the little mea culpa is thrown in.

ASRock Z77 Extreme11 (Intel Z77) Motherboard Review
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.70.1400
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.AIDA64.com
Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
HD Tune Pro
Version and / or Patch Used: 4.61
Developer Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has been gaining popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
Under AIDA64 we can see some excellent performance coming from the Extreme11 which puts it ahead of all our other boards. We ran the test multiple times and rebooted to make sure the numbers were consistent. We also made sure that we were running off the Z77 controller and not the LSI SAS controller. Over and over again, though, we saw these excellent numbers from the Z77 Extreme11.
HD Tune Pro doesn't paint quite the same picture with numbers that are fairly typical; still great numbers, but not quite as high as we saw under our AIDA64 tests.

The governor is democrat, so I'm not sure it would become law.
While I support CC on state university campuses, I wonder about this bill. It's sort of a round-about way of making them legal. This law basically says that unless there are security measures such as metal detectors, the state building must allow CCW. Well, I personally don't consider a metal detector to be that much of a protection. I consider security to be a protection. So should a state building (like the capitol building) be required to allow CCW even if they have plenty of plain clothes security? I'm just not sure this bill is doing it the right way. What do you all think?

With great power comes great responsibility.-Stan Lee
At least they are thinking in the right direction!
You can see various bills and progress if you are interested at the KSCCW site
Bottom line... they are saying with HB2685 that either people should have a right to protect themselves and if the State denies that by posting no CC signs, then they should provide the means and security, etc to protect them while they are there.
Universities are screaming because they would have to provide security for EVERY building on campus if it's passed.... thus, really approving CC in buildings that aren't "protected".
Here's the link / disccusion on HB2685 ;
This bill basically requires that if any state or municipality facilities that post NO CCH signs that they must provide "adequate" security and ensure that NO guns are allowed on the premises. Adequate is defined as, minimally, metal detectors, electronic detection and wands and security personnel. Also mandates that no state agency can prohibit their employees from carrying unless adequate security measures are provided as well.
Wow, the whole time I was in law school I thought that the no guns signs on the doors where adequate protection. If no one is allowed to have guns in there then we don't have to worry, a V. Tech style deal could never happen cause no guns are allowed on campus. lol jking of course.
The idiocy of this whole thing is the idea behind the no guns policy which is a belief that even though I am a licensed carrier of a firearm and have been for 16 yrs, and can carry anywhere else in 30 some states, something suddenly occurs when I cross the property line of the campus that makes me a danger to society. What a bunch of imaginary BS.
I was in law school when the V tech thing happened and several former servicemen and women, current national guard troops, and former police were in our class. Most, except for the far left anti wack jobs, would have felt much better knowing that a few of us in the class were armed and ready to deal with a threat if necessary. However, we were not allowed to do so. Thus myself and a couple of ex-cops and Army guys had an agreement to go down fighting if anything like that ever happened. We refused to kneel down and line up against the wall waiting to be shot while our classmates died. Thank God we never had to implement our plan to protect others and ourselves.
I'm soooo glad to be done with college and law school. Of course, when I go to the courthouse, no gun, but otherwise I can carry on a regular basis again.
Oh yeah, I forgot, we need to get them to get rid of the ban on church carry too. Churches are the second most likely place to get shot, just behind campuses. Yet we are "not supposed to" carry there? What a crock of ****.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
I am 100% for CCing/OCing on college campuses. People use "drunk college frat boy" images to try to sway public image, but I can say that I've seen first-hand that those frat boys will carry if they want to anyway.
Rape, murder, assault, robbery... these things exist on college campuses whether we like it or not.
I personally believe that if someone was armed during Columbine, Virginia Tech, or other school shootings, that many lives might have been saved.
9MM jump over to the ksccw.com link and check the discussion. The law requires adaquite, security measures including metal detector and armed security. If those aren't in place then CCW is allowed, if there are then no CCW allowed. It's an interesting bill and perhaps the only one that doesn't have a veto proof majority.

Just looked. Thanks. We'll see what happens.
I wrote my senator saying that I support CC on campus. I respectfully addressed some of the understandable fears concerning this bill. And yes, I believe they're understandable. I never grew up with guns and was very afraid of them as a child and young man, but I started learning about them after I realized I might come across one someday, and I wanted to know how to disarm it, etc.

I dont understand how some FAT nasty out of shape, big mac special sauce drip on shirt, cant run more than 50 yards, cigarette smoking, ice cream with a diet coke drinking, 1 hour of security training local temp hire college guard can compare with my 10 years Military service (and many others here and there), 4 deployments to the sand box, 2 or 3 more mini deps, enormous amounts of hours of training, hostile fire situations, CQB, hand to hand, long range, tactical radio communications, deep cover ops, high speed low drag kV jetboat insertion, DEST, SERE, etc... and my 1911 trumps this so called campus security.
Why dont they let us defend our selves legally?
Im going back in the Navy, this time as a Pilot. Im bored. I wanna play with WAY bigger guns. Maybe I could fly a blackhawk haha. Im getting too old I better hurry before the cut off. (What the heck did that have to do with campus cc in kansas haha)
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
Naturally anyone with as much service time as you will be more qualified than the average security guard (especially in mental training which I think most people forget). But as a courtesy to my campus police, they are all regular police officers and not just temp guards. Still, there's only so many.
My point was that I would want guns to protect against guns and not just a device that tells you the gun is there. If they won't provide reasonable protection, then they should enable the citizen. Let's say I'm at a press conference with the president. I've got plenty of confidence in the secret service to prevent a guy from bringing in a deadly weapon (though maybe not a shoe haha). Your average campus security? Not quite so much.

As reported in my local paper in The Daily Hampshire Gazette:
Two men arrested after Hadley road rage incident
By NICK GRABBE
Staff Writer
Monday, October 20, 2008
HADLEY - An apparent road rage incident Saturday resulted in the arrest of two men on assault charges after one threatened the other with a gun, police said.
Christopher G. Gunderson, 20, of 58 Trefry Lane, Stow, was driving north on Route 116 at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday when he reported that a vehicle was driving too close behind him, police said. The driver of the second vehicle was Paul Thomas Martineau, 33, of 50 High St., Turners Falls, police said.
Gunderson, a student at the University of Massachusetts, did a U-turn to avoid Martineau, who then followed him, police said. The two wound up going west on Route 9, turning north on North Maple Street, police said. At the stoplight at the intersection with Rocky Hill Road, Gunderson put his vehicle in reverse and rammed Martineau's vehicle, police said.
Martineau got out of his vehicle with a loaded pistol and ordered Gunderson to get out of his vehicle, police said. Martineau then called the police.
The two men did not know each other before the incident, police said.
Gunderson was charged with malicious destruction of property over $250 and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, police said. Martineau was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, police said.

This case is just damn stupid, by both parties involved.
The driver being followed should have dialed 911 and/or driven to the Hadley Police & Fire station which is right off of Rt. 9 maybe a mile from where he started out.
Or he could have simply driven to UMass campus maybe 3-4 miles down the road with dude following and roll right up to the UMass campus police building who have authority to work cases in and on Amherst town roads. Or drive straight down Rt. 9 another 2.5 miles and wind up right smack dab in the center of Amherst town and drive up to either the Amherst town police station, the town fire dept, or over to the Amherst College campus police building as well and they too have authority to work on town roads. Never mind that the MA state police work all up and down Rt. 9 day and night. And he drove right past the RMV on rt. 9 which always has a MA state popo on duty there. Instead dude decided to try ramming the guy in reverse. Where did he get that idea from? The Fall Guy?!
Now he has an assault charge with a dangerous weapon (motor vehicle) which will stick with him for a _lifetime_ and in MA precludes him from ever being able to exercise his 2A rights for life. Allover what, some guy riding his bumper. Oh, and it's likely his auto insurance won't cover his damages nor those that he made to t he other guys car which means he'll be writing that guy a check either directly or to his insurance company which will come after him personally for their monies owed. Stupid.
Then there is the other guy.
What the hell is he thinking. Aggressive driving first of all and then having the nerve to jump out of his car like he's T.J. Hooker and is pointing guns at people over a fender bender, which he himself aggravated to cause.
Bone heads the both of them.

India Shrugs at the Swine Flu OutbreakBy
When swine flu first hit Mexico City, the Mexican government shut the city down for three full days. But when the flu struck Mumbai last week, the Indian government shut down only movie theaters and schools and then, while the flu spread unchecked, opened them again a few days later. By Aug. 17, the countrywide death toll had reached 28, and Pune, two hours' drive southwest of Mumbai, was being considered an H1N1 cluster. There, infections were spreading faster than doctors could track them, and health authorities counted 14 deaths from swine flu. Nearly 1,700 more Indians had tested positive for the flu, which spreads rapidly from human contact, kills a little less than 1% of its victims, and is considered one of the fastest-spreading pandemics in recent history.
In Mumbai, malls nevertheless stayed open through the weekend, with a few people spotted wearing face masks. But most visitors seeming unconcerned. On Friday, the city celebrated the birth of Krishna, with entire neighborhoods swarming with events called dahi-handi (buckets of yogurt): Young men and children climb over each to reach earthen pots of yogurt dangling from strings above streets. "Swine flu?" asked Rajeshri Murthy, 14, as she joked with her friends in a crowded north Mumbai neighborhood. "Why worry about it? It's a holiday!"
She could have been taking a cue from the government's handbook. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told Indians on Aug. 15 in his annual Independence Day speech not to be too worried. "I want to assure you that the situation does not warrant a disruption in our daily lives because of fear and anxiety," he said.
Creaky Medical Infrastructure Why the relative lack of official alarm in India about a disease that has consumed the World Health Organization's resources since it was first detected in April and led to quarantines all around the world? After all, a full-blown pandemic in India would overwhelm the country's creaky medical infrastructure. Economists are already taking note, with Macquarie researcher Rajeev Malik factoring the possibility of a big outbreak into forecasts of gross domestic product. "The H1N1 scare is a potential risk, especially on consumer sentiment," says Malik, who decided it was too early to decide how widespread the impact would be on the Indian economy.
From a political standpoint, the government's muted reaction is understandable. Just three months after a resounding victory at the polls, the Congress Party has found itself in a difficult situation. The monsoon rains, vital for the country's agriculture, have failed, leading to drought in one out of every five Indian districts. As a result, food prices are inching upward. And newspapers every day criticize the government for not bringing the perpetrators of the November Mumbai terror attacks to justice. "The government's record has generated a good deal of skepticism. And with good reason too," wrote The Times of India, the world's largest English-language newspaper, on Aug. 15.
At the same time, shutting down Mumbai, India's teeming financial capital, with 18 million residents, is close to impossible. As many as 6 million people ride in Mumbai's commuter trains every day, its airport handles one-third of India's air traffic, and by some estimates the city makes up more than 52% of India's service industry, with the main Indian stock exchange and most of the major corporations headquartered there. Even a one-day shutdown could send tremors through the Indian economy, which is still rebounding from the global economic crisis. Now that the initial media and public panic has died down and 24-hour television coverage of the outbreak has given way to other news, movie theaters and other public places have reopened in Mumbai. On Aug. 17, residents lined up to buy tickets for the latest release, Kaminey, which the rest of India got to watch a few days earlier. "I will probably die from this cigarette that I am smoking before I die from swine flu," joked Riteish Chowdhury, 28, who had brought his wife and 10-month-old child to the theater.
Other Scourges Far Worse Health officials point to one possible explanation for the apparent lack of concern among many in Mumbai: Indians have lived with far worse diseases for decades. Malaria, tuberculosis, and even diarrhea kill more Indians each day than the swine flu has claimed nationwide. The other is simply a question of numbers: Twenty-eight dead in a country of 1.2 billion people is easily ignored. After all, about 15 people died every day in 2008 as they took Mumbai's infamously overcrowded and doorless trains to work.
Even AIDS is mostly ignored in government and Indian private philanthropic spending, even though as many as 2.5 million Indians are estimated to be HIV positive. "It's all a question of what you choose to care about," says Kiran Nayyar, a psychologist in Mumbai, pointing to an Aug. 16 WHO report which found that 300 Indians die each day just from road accidents, the highest number in the world. "If it didn't have such a bombastic name, I don't think people would even talk about swine flu."
In spite of its public posture, the Indian government does say it is taking concrete measures. In a visit to a Mumbai hospital on Monday, it appeared that a central government directive to quarantine suspected swine flu victims was being followed. The government has already distributed 100,000 Tamiflu tablets nationwide, with a further 10,000 on the way, said a Health Ministry spokesman. Testing centers were being set up at government-run hospitals, and private hospitals were being asked to pitch in. And according to The Hindu, an Indian newspaper, even the Prime Minister, having told people not to panic, has been calling up the Health Minister to push for more action.
