In the big picture, the USA still looks in great shape to qualify for the World Cup. It began Friday night six points ahead of the
fourth-place team in the Hexagonal and it ended Friday night five points ahead of the fourth-place team.
The USA will qualify Tuesday if it beats Mexico in Columbus and Panama doesn't
beat Honduras in Tegucigalpa.
But that isn't much comfort after a very humbling loss at Costa Rica. The 3-1 defeat -- the eighth straight loss to the Ticos in World Cup qualifying in San
Jose -- exposed a lot that is unfinished about Jurgen Klinsmann's U.S. team.
BRADLEY DEPENDENT. The San Jose
jinx continued at the Estadio Nacional as Michael Bradley -- the USA's most important player -- sprained his ankle in pre-game warmups and was a late scratch.
Without Bradley, Costa Rica shredded the U.S. midfield at will in the first half and went ahead, 2-0. Frankly, it could have been worse. Klinsmann had to choose between Geoff Cameron and Kyle Beckerman as Bradley's replacement, and frankly, it didn't matter that he chose Cameron over Beckerman. This was a game
that screamed for Jermaine Jones -- the most experienced midfielder on the team -- to take charge, and he had a nightmare first half.
GOALIE SWITCH? Is it too soon for Klinsmann to start thinking about switching goalies? Yes, the first two goals came on headers and the third was a breakaway, but one
wonders what would have happened with Brad Guzan in goal instead of Tim Howard, on the second goal, for sure, but most
assuredly, on the clinching Tico goal from Joel Campbell through his legs.
RIGHT-BACK HOLE. The big surprise
in the U.S. lineup, as it was announced an hour before the game, was Michael Orozco at right back. Orozco hadn't started at right back in a U.S. uniform since
being red carded at the 2008 Olympics in the deciding group match against Nigeria. Orozco was the sixth player to start at right back in qualifying and he may not be the last. He suffered through a
rough first half when the Ticos charged down their left side almost at will.
STAR IS BORN. The best player on the field -- by a wide margin over
anyone else but Bryan Ruiz -- was Campbell. The USA never had an answer for Campbell's pace, and he was finally rewarded with his insurance goal when he blew
past Matt Besler and put the ball through Howard's legs. It was an incredible display by a player, still just 21, who has yet to crack the Arsenal first team,
having been loaned out in successive years to Lorient in France, Real Betis in Spain and now Olympiakos in Greece.
DUMB, DUMB, DUMB. Much of the
pre-game talk concerned the USA's yellow-card situation and Mexican referee Marco Antonio Rodriguez's propensity to dish out yellow cards. Things were looking
good for the USA in the first half as he handed out three yellow cards to the Ticos, taking some of the fire out of their game and allowing the USA to get back into the match. But three yellow cards
to three U.S. players in the second half leave all three of them out of the Mexico game: Geoff Cameron, Besler and Jozy
Altidore, whose yellow card two minutes into stoppage time ranks as the dumbest ever earned by a national team player.
EMERGENCY CALL-UPS. With
Bradley's status uncertain and Cameron, Besler and Altidore all suspended, Klinsmann is going to be on the phone quickly for emergency call-ups. Look for Clarence
Goodson to get a call-up with John Brooks and Orozco as the only possible replacements for Besler. Chris
Wondolowski should replace Altidore, while Joe Corona and Sacha Kljestan could also get called in for midfield

tri-tronics vs. dogtra
Back sixteen years ago I used a two-dog TT collar and was very happy with it. I don't have the equipment any more and now need to buy a brand new setup. I noticed Dogtra coming up in serious circles and wanted to hear from people who have used both brands.
Two things jump out immediately from what I can remember about TT.
First, with the TT transmitter I used to own you had a toggle switch to select between the two dogs. The pushbuttons would give you low, mid and high stimulation (when pressed together). This was great because you could very quickly move up and down a scale of stimulations. Each collar was setup for the corresponding dog. No unexpected changes at any time. Easy to use.
I did not mind the larger tubular transmitter. In fact, I actually liked the feel. In addition to that it was visible. When I sometimes worked the dogs off-leash at large local parks I remember people did notice I had the dogs under "remote control". A tiny little transmitter would not put out that message. This was also effective when approached by law enfocement. A lot of them recognized the TT transmitter and knew I wasn't screwing around with a pair of uncontrolled GSD's off leash. They'd usually ask me to show them what I could do and then ask that I keep them on leash as much as possible (which I did anyhow).
What concerns me about Dogtra is that it doesn't seem to have a quick way to ratchet stimulation up and down.
Hypothetical example: Training dog to not cross the street unless commanded with "cross". After the dog is well trained you might want to up the volume and get him out to a really busy avenue. If the dog goes off the sidewalk it could get killed. In this case, being able to go from a low tingle to a stopping stimulation might be a matter of life and death. With TT that is easy.
With Dogtra, well it seems impossible as you have to fumble with that wheel back and forth to change the stimulation level delivered by the one-and-only button.
The other concern with Dogtra is that the stimulation level can be modified without you knowing it if the knob is turned for any reason. Do they have a lockout?
Similar issues or questions about multi-dog setups. How do you know where your stim is set to? Or if it has changed? And how do yo navigate up/down stim levels with multiple dogs...safely?
To continue with the hypothetical example from above: So I just stopped dog #1 from walking onto the street with a high stimulation after quickly turning the dial and pushing the button (which would take far more time than simply pushing two buttons together). Now I switch back to dog #2 and need a normal light stimulation setting. Do I have to rotate the dial back to a low setting? It sure seems that way. And then, if I forgot that I had rotated the dial to a high stim setting for dog #1 and go to correct him for something minor I am going to stimulate at a far more than desired.
Not sure if I fully understand how the Dogtra's work. It seems to me that the system they use is far from ideal for anything past one dog. Perhaps Dogtra is better for single dog situations for some reason but not so for multiple dogs?
I'd appreciate input from people experienced with both brands as well as using them in the context of running more than one dog at a time.

Main Halyard Fix
Hi folks, I broke the handle on my main halyard cluth. It is a Lewmar double about 20 years old I guess. Any suggestions or words of advice? Will a new Lewmar fit old location? Thanks.
Measure the hole spacing... the new lewmar hole spacing is available on their website.
I recently broke the main halyard handle on my 20-year-old Easylock triple. I don't really have suggestions or advice, only commiseration. :( It turns out Easylock changed their hole pattern 1/16 inch, so I've decided to go Lewmar as long as I have to mess with filling and potting holes and all. I'm trying to limp along until off-season.
You may be able to replace just the handle.
I was able to buy a replacement handle for a Lewmar clutch here:
For XAS clutch. Spinlock
Good luck,

Is that a goat?:spittingcoffee:
LOL! That's awesome :D
Its a Nigerian Dwarf Goat :-)
OMG! That's awesome! What do you do with the goats?
The goats tackle our underbrush and fields. We milk the does sometimes. The dogs used to herd them but the goats caught on quick. Now, if they see a dog they go to the gate or come to me. If they don't see the dog I just ask one to bark :) We have a very small herd.
Jonas even looks a bit concerned about how the pic will turn out. lol

text: Ok well I am hting at 1095 blade. I hted it like i normally do which is bring it to 1525 let it soak for 5 min and quience in salt brine. well this time i pulled it out of the brine and it was curved bad. well I read that you could straiten it during tempering process so I tempered it at 450 for 2 hours.While it was still hot I then clamped it to a straight surfaace with a shim to allow it to bend slightly the opposite direction. well I unclamped it and it was still warped bad. so I decided to redo the whole process. I heated it to 1525 and let it cool in the ht oven. I then heated to 900 and straightened the lade and put it back in thte oven until it reached 1525 and let it cool in the oven again. Now I need to know what my next process would be in order for this not to happen again. I think the reason this happened in the first place and did not for any other was I had to heat the blade during the grinding process in order to give the customer the forged look he wanted. To do this I heated the blade to 1600 pulled it out and hammered on it. I did this 4 times. well I guess I forgot to normalize after that because I never included this in the process before. So If someone can help me with the next steps I would appreciate it.

Timeline / Bonus Video
Here is the answer to the 80s timeline:
- Frank Sinatra came under heavy criticism for performing in South Africa despite worldwide protests against apartheid.
- An actor from soap opera All My Children popularizerd the phrase "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" in a Vicks ad.
- Tom Cruise felt the need for speed in that year's biggest blockbuster with Top Gun. In 1986 and in that year this song was released which many people think is a fun and happy song but is actually about nuclear holocaust Can you imagine if the world had ended in the 80s? here is Timbuk 3 "The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)".

VIERA, Fla. -- Alejandro De Aza is off to another spectacular spring start for the Florida Marlins.
This year the team hopes it will get to see how good he is in the regular season, too.
De Aza led off the game with a homer and drove in two runs as a Florida Marlins split squad beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Friday.
"He had a terrific spring last year and that's why he made the club out of spring training, and then he hurt himself and we didn't get to see what he was capable of," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "This year he's coming in and making an impression. He's coming along and hopefully it comes down to a tough decision at the end of the spring."
The 23-year-old outfielder made the Marlins out of camp last season, but he broke his right ankle after nine games and missed four months.
De Aza hit a grand slam against the Orioles on Thursday and two hits and an RBI on Tuesday.
Ricky Nolasco started for the Marlins and pitched two scoreless innings, allowing three hits. Burke Badenhop worked two innings for the save.
The Marlins used six pitchers, including Chris Volstad, Lee Gardner, Ross Wolf and Doug Waechter. The group allowed just seven hits and one unearned run -- in the fifth inning.
"We walked just three guys, we were throwing strikes and when that happens the defense looks good," Gonzalez said.
Tyler Clippard started for the Nationals, allowing one run on two hits.
"My command is not where I want it to be yet," Clippard said. "I felt strong and made some quality pitches, but obviously there is still some work there to be done."
Mike Bascik, who was 5-8 with a 5.11 ERA in 29 appearances last season, gave up two runs on three hits in one inning for the Nationals.
"I threw four pitches and three guys were on," Bacsik said. "They weren't waiting to see what I had today ... It was one of those games."
For the Marlins, Mike Jacobs was 1-for-2 with a single and two walks, and Jeremy Hermida drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Florida also scored a run on a wild pitch by Charlie Manning in the eighth inning.
For the Nationals, Ryan Zimmerman was 2-for-2 with two singles, Nick Johnson was 1-for-2 with a single and Bret Boone was 1-for-2 with a double.

I have worked and wandered
in this land they call the North
Wolfed breakfast on grey Sundays
in a dark pub back of Bury.
Sat on trams on Saturdays and
snaked through black brick cities.
Stood on cliffs in Cleveland and
seen Upleatham under snow
Cycled on to Saddleworth moor
And drunk a pint in Dukinfield
Milled in Morrisons and mingled
with the crowds at Ashton Market
Sang at t'Builders in Huddersfield
and crashed in a council house
in Mixenden, surrounded by the
hoary hardworked hills of Halifax
Sat in Harry Ramsden's eating
perfect chips, after perfect pints
- no less than a two-inch head.
I've had me tea in Betty's
Walked the coal-seam beach at
Saltburn, gone to Guisborough
by bus, seen Roseberry Topping
Walked by graffiti wheelie-bins
In numerous grimy back streets
named after old Crimean battles
Seen the Tees from Southbank
and Middlesbrough burning
in the sulphur-amber night.
Wandered into lunch-time market
pubs where dark-eyed beehive
barmaids called me Luv.
Watched sodden Cumbrian collies
working, sat on trains in pouring rain
from Leeds to Northallerton
And having heard the red hat
and no knickers of it all...
A different land, is what I thought.
Being southern and no better
than I ought.

End of The World: The To Do List
Some crazed nut in California is claiming that the world will come to an end this Saturday. At 6 PM Pacific time, cause we have a punctual high power. We all know if I were in charge, I would do it at 5 AM Monday. Just to end the suffering before work. So what can you do to help ease in to the end?
1) Get A Greasy Burger At The Big Top
Who cares if your arteries are going to get clogged, you won't need them much longer. Just get the double cheeseburger special, upsize the fries, and get a side of nacho cheese. If you're going for the last meal, this is going to be the one you don't want to skip. Plus you'll save a shload of cash, so you still have time to party.
2) Check Out Thong Thursday at Fast Eddys
Shameless plug? Perhaps. But if you're going out, go out seeing some naked asses. Okay there is a thong there, but does that even count as underwear. If you're of the female persuasion, take part in the contest? Who's going to know at work on Monday? There won't even be a Monday! If there is, just use your Thong Contest earnings to buy everyone lunch so they'll drop it.
3)After Eddys, Nickel Beer Night at Stoneys
If you blew all your cash at Eddy's, use your pocket change to buy drinks at Stoney's. Every Thursday is college night, so if you have a college ID you're getting in for free. If its one thing I like to do during the Apocalypse, its saving some money!
4)Reflect on the Evansville Riverfront
You have lived a sinful life, why not reflect on the nicest riverfront on the Ohio. There still might be some of that good river mud coating the boat launch, but who cares if your Jordans get messy? They'll be left behind for the looters after the rapture anyway.
5) Leave All Your Cash With Me
Hey, I'm a radio DJ. More than likely, if there is a rapture, I'm still going to be here Sunday. And I need to pay my cell phone bill, and we know those people won't be going anywhere either. Its not like you're going to need the money. I've got Paypal, so just email me!
Okay, okay, that last one was a stretch. But I felt it was worth the effort. So maybe nothing will come on Saturday. But why not party it up! Anyone having a rapture party? What other things would you want to do if the world was ending in Evansville?
…and what the hey, if you get left behind too, you can join me for the Post Rapture Looting. Just be sure to RSVP on Facebook first! Lets hit up Best Buy first, cause I need an Xbox Kinect. And just in case things go way crazy, like Zombie Apocalypse crazy, the Centers For Disease control has provided us a guide for that.
Happy Apocalypse Saturday!

The Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis Reveals Adaptations for Milk Utilization Within the Infant Microbiome. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 105(48):18964-18969. Interpretive Summary: The human gastrointestinal tract is rapidly colonized following birth by beneficial microbes, often dominated by bifidobacteria in breast-fed infants. In this paper, the complete genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum ssp. infantis is reported, and reflects a metabolic strategy for the use of oligosaccharide sugars found selectively in human milk. Several genes encoding binding proteins and permeases are predicted to be active on milk oligosaccharides, and the mechanism underlying milk utilization is supported by conservation of sugar-related genes in multiple B. longum ssp. infantis strains. Also, our examination of cellular metabolism has shown milk oligosaccharide usage via the central sugar metabolic pathway in B. longum ssp. infantis. This work will be of great advantage for evaluating the benefits of bifidobacterium gut bacteria, and improve our understanding of functional prebiotic nutrition in children.
Technical Abstract: Following birth, the breast-fed infant gastrointestinal tract is rapidly colonized by a microbial consortium often dominated by bifidobacteria. Accordingly, the complete genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum ssp. infantis ATCC15697 reflects a competitive nutrient-utilization strategy targeting milk-borne molecules which lack a nutritive value to the neonate. Several chromosomal loci reflect potential adaptation to the infant host including a 43 kbp cluster encoding catabolic genes, extracellular solute binding proteins, and permeases predicted to be active on milk oligosaccharides. An examination of in vivo metabolism has detected the hallmarks of milk oligosaccharide utilization via the central fermentative pathway using metabolomic and proteomic approaches. Finally, conservation of gene clusters in multiple isolates corroborates the genomic mechanism underlying milk utilization for this infant-associated phylotype.

Learning Dominoes Rules
The game of dominoes is an all time timeless past time activity. It truly is one of the several best games of all time. According to historians, this game has been around since the 12th century. Trails of dominoes have been discovered in China, Egypt, Mediterranean, and other countries. But it was only during the 1200's that this game became trending in Europe, particularly in Italy.
Now, the game of dominoes has turned into an all-time favorite activity. In fact, we all grew up playing this game with relatives and buddies. Admit it; you know you have enjoyed playing this game when you were little on a lazy afternoon. And even in the advent of computers and the Net, the dominoes game is still one of the most played.
Dominoes Rules
Because of its popularity, different countries have adopted their own version of this game. Some types of dominoes are: block, draw, Mexican train, chickenfoot, all-fives, and concentration. The most famous is block and draw. The most played though is draw dominoes.
Being familiar with basic dominoes rules is fairly easy. The game starts by shuffling the dominoes on the table. The table should be level and even for much easier shuffling. Put all of the tiles face down and mix them with your hands.
If there are 2 players, every person should pick out 7 domino tiles. If there are 3 or 4 players, each must select 5 dominoes. Place the tiles in front of you where you can see them. However, you have to keep them well hidden from your competition or other players. Generally, a set of double six dominoes is used. The player with the highest double (preferably a double six) will start the game.
The next player to the left must place a matching domino next to the first tile. If the first player started with a double-six, you should play the tile with a 6 on it. Or else, you have to obtain from the boneyard (pile of unselected dominoes) till you get a playable domino. In any case you did not find a playable domino, dominoes rules dictate that you must pass on your turn.
The player who runs out of dominoes first, or he who has the lowest value of dominoes, wins the round. All dominoes rules are score-based, which made it essential to reduce all your heavy valued dominoes early on.
Other Dominoes Rules
Here are other dominoes rules for other games:
Block Dominoes Rules – Dominoes rules in this game are very the same to the draw dominoes rules. But, the player will not pick dominoes from the boneyard. So if he doesn't have matching tile, he must pass his turn.
Chicken Foot Dominoes Rules – Chicken foot started from Texas. Here, the players can place dominoes diagonally on one side of a double to form a "chicken foot". The player with a double-nine places the domino on the table. If the next player does not have a matching domino, he must pick one from the chicken yard. Those with no usable dominoes should pass their turn. The goal in the chicken foot dominoes rules is to rank low.

A Great Day to Be an Italian Student
Students from La Scuola d'Italia Guglielmo Marconi marched up Fifth Avenue today, as part of the annual Columbus Day festivities. The private school, which was founded in 1977 by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has students from preschool through 12th grade. According to its Web site, it is "the only school in North America that provides a classical, bilingual education rooted in the Italian and European traditions." Today was the day to show off those roots, under a blue sky and in summer-like warmth.

Paris St-Germain are stepping up their efforts to persuade Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas to join them with a record-breaking bid for Gareth Bale, it has been reported.
PSG have been linked with the highly-rated Tottenham boss as current coach Carlo Ancelotti prepares to finalise his move to Real Madrid.
PSG hope a £85 million bid for Bale will be accepted by the Spurs board and persuade Villas-Boas to join the Welsh winger in moving to the French capital, according to The Mirror.
Chelsea's Brazilian defender David Luiz is also believed to be on their shopping list.
It is understood no official approach has yet been made for the Tottenham boss, who has two years left to run on his current deal at White Hart Lane.
Villas-Boas is happy in north London but remains an ambitious coach who would be keen to listen to PSG's Qatari owners, who have plans to make the French club one of the most powerful in Europe.
It is believed Villas-Boas is one of several candidates under consideration, with his rumoured £10million release clause not considered an obstacle were PSG to make a formal approach to Spurs.Reuse content

Chamber seeks nominations
As the Miles City Area Chamber of Commerce prepares to welcome in the new year, it's once again time to honor those in the community who made an impact in 2013.
The Annual Citizens of the Year Banquet & Awards Ceremony will be held Thursday, January 16, 2014. No-host cocktail hour, at the Town & Country Club, will be at 6 p.m., and dinner will be served at 7 p.m., followed by the Citizen of the Year Awards.
The chamber is encouraging community members to nominate candidates for the awards. The deadline for nominations is January 6.
"What we want people to do is to think about the kind of people that have gone out and done things that are of value to our community," said Chamber Executive Director John Laney. "There are all kinds of things that happen throughout the year that we may take for granted, but are worthy of recognition. We want to get the people who deserve to be recognized, recognized."
The awards will be presented in six categories: Agriculture, business (any company in any business field, who has shown significant contributions to, or outstanding success in, their industry), individual (any individual, not necessarily in an ownership capacity, who has made significant contributions to, or outstanding success in, their profession or field), senior citizen volunteer (any retired person, not connected with a business or profession, who has made significant contributions to a business, profession, or organization in Southeastern Montana), volunteer (any individual (not retired) who has made a significant (non-compensated) contribution to an organization or group in Southeastern Montana) and the Harvey Wolke Award.
A nomination form and the criteria for each award can be found on the Chamber's website at www.milescitychamber.com.
Citizens of the Year are chosen annually, except for recipients of the Harvey Wolke Award, which is given only when an individual or group is cited for outstanding community betterment, civic vision and the ability to motivate and guide these efforts.
As in previous years, the winners will be announced before the banquet, rather than at the banquet itself. The decision was made to announce the winners early to give residents the opportunity to come out and honor them.
"We acknowledge the winners early on in the process so that the people who want to be there can," Laney said. "This way, everyone will know ahead of time and people can make their plans accordingly. The more recognition the winners can get, the better."

Evaluation of the Foundation's Active Living by Design Program
The Foundation's Active Living by Design program was designed to establish and evaluate innovative approaches that support active living. It is a five-year effort to increase physical activity in 25 communities by changing the built environment through community efforts, public policies and communication strategies. Many of the program's efforts are specific to children, while others apply to all family members regardless of age. This grant supports an evaluation of the overall effectiveness of Active Living by Design in implementing community changes. Along with two other Foundation-led efforts, it will provide a comprehensive evaluation of Active Living by Design. The two other efforts are studies of the impact on physical activity at the most advanced sites (commissioned by Active Living Research) which will develop case studies of project development. Together, these three efforts will assist the Foundation to assess the feasibility of changing physical activity through the built environment, informing a possible program renewal in 2008. Project deliverables include annual and final reports on three issues: (1) the environmental impact of physical projects and related policy changes; (2) the range of interventions implemented across the communities, as well as intended and unintended accomplishments; and (3) strengths and challenges in the process of planning and implementing these changes.

Ranger Brake Lights
The mechanical switch that actuates the brake lights on my 93 Ford Ranger doesn't work until the brake pedal is pushed down almost to a lockup position. I've tried a new switch, and I even tried to shim it to get the thing to work at a light pedal. Needless to say, in traffic where a light pedal is often all you need to slow, the driver behind needs to know you are on the brakes. That isn't happening. Any suggestions? Thanks.
1 Attachment(s)
Doc here :pimp:
Does that have a Finger to activate the switch? If so bend it forward.
Is this the switch?
Thanks, Doc. That appears to be the switch, but I don't recall a "finger" on the unit. I'll look closer and post my finding.

New figures released earlier this week by the U.S. Census Bureau show that New Hampshire continues to see sluggish population growth in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
Estimates of state-by-state population growth in 2013 have New Hampshire among the slowest growing states over the past year, ranking 41st out of the 50 states. The Granite State's population increased by less than 2,000 people in 2013, yielding a rate of growth of just 0.1 percent. That was significantly less than the national population increase of 0.7 percent, and the growth rate for the entire Northeast, at 0.3 percent.
New England as a whole saw minimal population growth last year: New Hampshire was the second fastest growing state in the region, behind Massachusetts, which grew by 0.7 percent in 2013, equal to the national growth rate. (Maine was one of just two states to see its population shrink over the past year.)
The new figures also show that New Hampshire's rate of population increase has been minimal since the last official census tally in 2010: the state's population has increased by just 0.5 percent over the past three years, compared to a national rate of increase of 2.2 percent over that period. The highest rates of growth were in the southern and western parts of the country (see table below; click table for larger view.)
Table 1: Population change by state, 2010 to 2013 and 2012 to 2013
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 population estimates.
New Hampshire has traditionally relied on high rates of population increase to fuel its economic growth and relative prosperity, through that growth has slowed significantly over the past decade, even in the years leading to the Great Recession. Several recent initiatives have tried to address this demographic shift, including the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire's preparation of a statewide strategic economic plan. The Center provided much of the data and analysis that informed that plan, which you can find here.

What's New Wednesday: April 17
Here's what we've got our eyes on this week:
Philosophy Amazing Grace Gift Set
Mother's Day gift alert! Philosophy's Amazing Grace fragrance is classic, casual, and perfect for mom. Plus it comes with a luxurious whipped body crème in the same amazing (pun intended!) scent.
Algenist Regenerative Anti-Aging Set
I had never heard of alguronic acid before I discovered Algenist, but now I can't get enough. I'm obsessed with their anti-aging moisturizer, and this set gives me a FULL SIZE of it, plus two extras, for the price of just the moisturizer. Sold! (And bought.)
**Amber's Pick!**
Sephora Collection Cabana Cutie Kit
"This lip balm and bronzer duo is just what I needed to get a spring start on summer. The balm changes color based on your natural pH and I'm happy to report 'my pink' is quite nice (yours will be too!). The honey flavor is also delicious. The baked bronzer gives off a dreamy glow, blending a lightweight matte/satin formula for sunkissed, happy cheeks."

Memories of Arlesey
My 1st Job
In the mid 50s my grandparents moved from Bedwas S Wales on retiring from the local colliery. He chose Arlesey and moved in next door to his sister, Olwen, on Station Rd no 21. I also had another great aunt, Beatrice, she lived over the line and down the lane and had about 200 chickens and some pigs. I loved the smell of the hot ...Read full memory
Early Days
I remember Arlesey with great affection where I lived in Hospital Road from 1941 to 1950. I attended the village school next to the Three Tuns pub, leaving at 14 to become a trainee lab. assistant in the path. lab. of the local Fairfield Hospital and gained the nick name, "professor" from my old school mates. Entertainment was the ...Read full memory
Fairfield Hospital
I was a patient in Fairfield Hospital in 1969 and I made many friends in there with other patients and also with workers who lived in Arlesey. They all helped in my recovery and I am 75 now and have never looked back. Thanks Arlesy.
The Lake
THE LAKE as we called it was the other side of the bunny hills, brings back memories of our childhood. The house nearby was once occupied by the Manager of the brick company, that dug out the clay that created the lake, he was our great Grand dad Aaron Gibbs, he died long before I was born but our Granny Hay was his daughter, she ...Read full memory

Death penalty on the table for Ketchner following conviction – Kingman Daily Miner – Kingman, Arizona
Death penalty on the table for Ketchner following conviction – Kingman Daily Miner – Kingman, Arizona.
KINGMAN – A jury deliberated just 45 minutes before finding Darrell Ketchner guilty of the first-degree murder of Ariel Allison, the first-degree attempted murder of Jennifer Allison, burglary and three counts of aggravated assault.
Ketchner stabbed Ariel Allison to death and shot Jennifer Allison in the head on July 4, 2009.
Jennifer Allison survived but the attack left her with memory loss and other physical disabilities.
It took nearly three years to get the case to the trial phase because of the complexity of handling a death penalty case. It took just over a week to try the case before a jury.
Jurors heard testimony from blood, DNA and drug experts from the Arizona Department of Public Safety's crime lab and witness testimony from neighbors and friends.
Both sides in the case agreed that Ketchner killed Ariel Allison and attacked Jennifer Allison.
What they didn't agree on was whether he had made a plan before attacking the two women in their home.
Ketchner was allegedly high on methamphetamine at the time of the attack.
Police officers found him passed out at Cerbat Cliffs Golf Course several hours after the attack.
Ketchner will return to the courtroom next week to determine if there are any aggravating factors in the case and for the penalty phase of the case, which will determine whether he will get the death penalty or not.

Chapter 11
I occasionally grind 3rd as well, and it's usually when I'm hustling it. I too have only owned/driven manuals. Guess it's not just me.
I have driven mine for over two years now. It still occasionally happens. Most of the time it is the 2nd to 3rd you mentioned. On very rare occasion it happens into reverse. I had the dealer look at it (as is expected they found nothing) and they said it may be the linkage needs adjustment. I just try to constantly remind myself to chill in between shifts and it happens much less now. I am planning on adjusting the shift after I get my Euro shift kit to (hopefully) smooth everything out.
Slow down a tick, and you should have very few problems.
EDIT-- I seem to remember reading on Vortex that some folks change out the gearbox fluid to redline, or royal purple and claim an increase in shift smoothness.

slow your shifts down a notch the geabox cant take a shift like my k20z3 would
I am going to do a more thorough review later, but if you are mechanically inclined you may consider getting the euro shift kit from ECS. It is an OEM Audi part, ES#2219718. I've only driven a bit thus far but I really like the difference. It feels much more solid and precise than it was before. I would recommend it if you dislike the stock shift profile.
I've been driving a stick since I started driving 10+ years ago. I've had 2 Jetta's, 2 Audi's, a BMW, and this car. I have also had a similar experience-but it only happens once every couple of days so I chalk it up to my own driver error. I find I do it going into 2nd, but yah-it's definitely more grindy than even the TT that I had.
My wife is 5' 2'' and she has no problem with the clutch setup in her GTI. I personally hate the engagement point (way too much travel), but it's not my daily driver...so be it. She's a terrible driver, but she hasn't grinded in 3rd enough to complain to me. I'd guess you guys have FUBAR transmissions.
She used to complain about 3rd in her old Prelude (and that car did grind all the time, not just the 2-3 shift, but also going to 4th) but going on 2 years in her GTI I haven't heard a peep.
You definitely don't need NASCAR seating to drive the car X.x...she's tiny and she drives it everyday....

Any more franchizes that are based on that?
But how boring/bad is it?
Sounds like where I work...lol.
This is along the lines where my questions would lie. All of my cooking experience lies with these types of chain restaurants. I have worked in most all positions in the store over the years, but would I be able to transfer this experience to a fine dining more professional restaurant?
Wow there is a lot of positive feedback on here. I have worked in kitchens for three years and just recently have had the opportunity to start working on the line. For years I feared that It would be to hard and strenuous to work on the line but the day I jumped on I was hooked. I get a rush when tickets are piling up and a stupid grin to match it. I love the feeling of putting the plates together and sending them on there way and this makes all the hard work completely worth it. I have A LOT more to learn and I cant wait.
I actually miss working on a line sometimes, now that i am not in the restaurant world anymore... mind you I don't miss the annoyances that come with being on a line especially when the other line cooks do not share the same work ethic that I have..
I'm enjoying my first experience as a line cook and I'm having the time of my life. My motto is "if you can lean, you can clean". I am training with seasoned line cooks and these guys run on auto-pilot when tickets come in. I mentally applaud their motions and movements and everything is place precisely where it'll be viewed as an artistic expression. I have my moments, too, where I'm tossing salads, making "everything" omelettes and today, my first, on-the-spur caramel/coconut flan for dessert. I had to whip up 30 of them within 45 minutes and get them in the walk-in to chill. I had to bake off potatoes, make sure the line had it's mise en place before I went on break.
I knew when I returned from break, I would have to check on the jacketed potatoes I put in the oven, make sure all salad prep was available and ready to go, fix lunch for 12 to go on the second floor, from soup to nuts. Everything must be ready BEFORE it's time to party, because when the tickets come in, it's party time.
I love going to work for the first time in my life and this is my second career! Viva la Culinary!
...oh yeah , if your not happy don't wait, CHANGE RESTAURANTS immediately !
can not stress this enough, if your not happy its because the food is boring. GET OUT NOW.
Food is amazing, cooking is a rush and food is amazing. find the menu you respect and work to make that perrrrrrfect.
Line work is great, the mind turns off and the body knows whats best. Designing menu's is great (that's my main job) but line work is a thrill (that's why I took a second job)
I have been in the food industry for 27 yrs, I have worked in everything from fast food, 4 star, and family owned restaurants/bars. I have waited tables, bar backed, bounced, worked on every station in the kitchen including expediting. I started as a dishwasher/bus boy at age 19 in a Greek family restaurant/bar and worked for them for 4 years. It took me a yr and ½ to become a cook. Since then I have managed 4 kitchens and worked under 3 chefs. I am currently working at a retirement home. If you love a fast pace job with a lot of stress and can't see yourself sitting at a computer all day, love food, team work,(if you have a good working team), and long hrs, than this is a job for you. I no longer look at it as a job but a career.
Now or the complaints.
#1 Pay sucks. I make just enough to get by and I don't own a car or cell phone to make payments on. I live alone and have no children to take care of. I have maxed out at $10 an hour and this is what I was making 15 yrs ago.
#2 The industry has been flooded with low wage none English speaking people that take away the possibility to get a raise, (in America). I actually worked at a BW3's that the head cook told me." You work here now, you need to learn Spanish." I told him that he lives here and he needed to learn English. I lasted 8 months.
#3 I'm going catch heck for this but when I started cooking, the kitchen was all men. Since the incorporation of women I have seen the stress of what has to be said around fellow co-workers and have lost a head chef due to rumors of relations between he and a cook. This was not true. I have also come to see that = pay does not = work. Most from what I have seen is the male does all the heavy lifting, (garbage, fryer oil, stock), and the female does not. I know this is not everywhere but I have seen a lot of it.
#4 Most places are under staffed and work with a skeleton crew. Time requested for being off work are hard to come by.
at those type places, you're only warming premade food. I'd find it horrendous and mind numbing. Most of that stuff comes from the corporate and is only finished on premesis.
And working the line in a real restaurant is no picnic either. Long hours, no holidays, 140 degree heat, breathing fumes, burned raw fingertips, aching feet, aching legs, super high pressure especially when you're "in the weeds" and the tickets keep coming. Abysmal pay. Managers that want to cut every penny but still have the same quality. Having to deal with fad diets, having to deal with bubbleheaded front of house that promises something that you're 86. You're never going to have a holiday or friday/saturday off and you'll never ever have a mothers day or valentines day off. And that's not even counting accidents such as 2nd degree burns, cuts or broken fingers. It is NOT what it looks like on TV or how the tv advertised schools portray it!!!
That being said, most of us wouldn't trade it for the world

" Genre: Family & Entertainment "
I love games like Luxor and having completed Luxor and its follow up game, Amun Rising, was keen to find another game which gave me as much joy. If I am going to buy a game at a price of 13.99 GBP, which seems to be a standard price for these downloadable games, I wanted one in the same ilk. The idea is that you have a chain of balls which make their way around the screen, and that you shoot balls from the bottom of the screen to create rows of three or more, to eliminate those balls from the gameplay, with the objective of getting rid of all the balls in the chain before they reach a tunnel at the other end of the track they take.
It's a pretty easy formula and one that works rather well with Luxor, as they seem to have focused their attention on gameplay rather than clever graphics, and by goodness it shows. The difficulty levels really do stretch the player, and that was the main reason that I was looking for a game in a similar ilk.
Butterfly escape promised every bit as much fun as Luxor, and went one step further with graphics, in that instead of solid coloured balls that look like Christmas decorations and don't distract the eye, Butterfly Escale decided that the balls should ressemble bubbles, and their opacity really is clever and cunning. Place these on a backdrop that is really pretty, with flowers and plants, and the overall look of the game impressed me enough to part with my money.
The game is downloadable from many sites, though the one that I use is Reflexive.com, since I have never had program failure, or problems with downloads or payments from that site, and its layout is familiar to me. Downloading the game takes very little time on a high speed connection, and you are then offered an opportunity to try out the game for a trial period of an hour, which is just enough to get you interested, though insufficient to show you the pitfalls of the game.
Butterfly Escape Game System Requirements:
Windows XP/2000/ME
800Mhz or faster Processor
3D Video Card
DirectX 8.1
Where the pitfalls start to kick in is around level 3, where the angles of play really are too hard, and it isn't just a question of skill. What the makers of this game have done is take a simple concept and complicate it by having graphics that are too advanced for the gameplay. There are angles at which you are supposed to shoot, which really do not give accurate shots, and believe me, I am an expert on this type of game, so it isn't just a matter of my lack of skill.
The background music is pretty atrocious and irritating, and special sounds that have been introduced to the game a little infantile, although I guess that the market the makers were aiming at with this game was younger children, whose attention span is perhaps not as serious as the more experienced players. What could have been a fun game turned into an almost impossible muddle, and this doesn't just mean the gameplay. The graphics confused me, because the whole concept of the game was to centre Butterfly escape around nature, and all things beautiful. So why oh why did they insist on introducing the weapons that they did, which are not only unsuitable for the game, but actually make the game irritating at best.
Instead of the normal ball holder at the bottom of the screen, they introduced a creature that looks something like a cross between a wasp and an ant, and who throws the balls. There are bonuses to be won, but it is here that the game takes on a sinister turn, introducing guns and bombs, and I really don't think that the designers had to do this, as it spoils the whole nature of what could otherwise have been a very child friendly game. Humans are already bombing hell out of each other, and the range of violent games is sufficient that they really didn't have to introduce an insect who shoots machine guns and who bombs the bubbles. When you look at the aim of the game which is to free butterflies, it hardly goes hand in hand with the wanton destruction that the weapons give to the player. You are expected to free 15 butterflies, and here, the game has a little educational value and shows the player a little about each of the species, so why oh why did they need to make it violent. Okay, violent is possibly an exagerration, though for me, the two concepts don't go hand in hand.
Yes, indeed there are clever features in this game that do not feature in the traditional Luxor game such as turning a whole row of balls into one colour, getting rid of many balls with the bombs, though all they really achieved was stunning graphics, rather than good gameplay. There are a total of more than 100 scenic screens during the course of the game, and three modes to play the game in, i.e. Normal, Legendary or Tournament, and I can see that the Tournament play would be fun, although usually play games of this nature alone. I do know that children that have played on my computer liked the game, though were as puzzled as me about the weapons, which just didn't fit with the scheme of things.
The power ups are quite cool, and these are bonuses that you are awarded for good gameplay though they aren't enough to pursuade me that this is a more playable game than the original Luxor. It isn't, and not only that it takes up almost twice the disc space that Luxor does at a fairly hefty 33.98 Mb as opposed to the 19 Mb taken up by Luxor and I would say that the majority of this doesn't account for gameplay features, but is taken up by extensive graphics.
On the whole, I would rate the game as follows
Gameplay 6/10 spoiled by lack of thought.
Graphics 9/10 distracting in places, though very pretty.
Sound 5/10 appalling music and sound. Better muted which thankfully is an option.
Controls 5/10 all done by mouse, although disappointing response.
Educational value 3/10 and here it really is disappointing since the area that concentrates on teaching kids about Butterflies, is limited to a very small section, where you simply look at butterflies through a magnifying glass. Put this next to a creature that carries a machine gun, and the educational value of the game is questionable at best.
My recommendations.
Download Luxor, or Amun Rising as alternatives, since the lasting ability of these games really is outstanding compared with this game. After several weeks, I had finished the game, and had hours of irritation, whereas Luxor gave me more challenge.
Sad because it could have been good.
Butterfly Escape - Adventure and excitement await for those who help Buka free butterflies from Dungeon of Darkness and return sunrise to Kingdom of Light.

WHEN THE ECONOMY crashed in 2008, Ariana Myers was working as an investment banker in Europe. The global crisis took its toll on Myers, leading her to question whether her career fulfilled her desire to make a difference in people's lives.
Looking for her passion, Myers started climbing mountains all over the world. She met her future husband, longtime Bay Area resident Chuck Nuzum, while climbing Mount Aconcagua in Argentina.
Now 42, Myers lives in Sausalito with her husband of nearly three years. After becoming involved in a local senior housing project, Myers realized she wanted to make her mark on the world by helping senior citizens stay in their homes longer.
Earlier this year she realized her dream and found her passion by opening Right At Home in San Rafael, a franchise business focused on providing in-home care for seniors and disabled residents.
Q: How did you get involved in mountain climbing?
A: I started running in my 30s, but mountain climbing was sort of a late-life discovery. I realized I was well-suited for it as some people just can't handle the altitude. When I climbed my first mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, I decided to climb some more. I had to do some soul-searching to see what I wanted to do with my life, and it helped me find my purpose.
Q: You met your husband while climbing a mountain. What was that like?
A: We were sharing a tent by default because we were the only native English speakers. We like to say that three weeks in a tent is equivalent to nine months of dating. I got to see what he was like under pressure.
Q: When did you realize you wanted to help senior citizens?
A: I moved to Sausalito with my husband without much of a plan, but I started working as a consultant. I got involved in a senior housing project and learned a lot about the senior services industry. When I found out about home care as a business, all the pieces fit together. It was a way to do something that had meaning, while owning and building my own business.
Q: What does Right At Home do for seniors?
A: We provide in-home care assistance for seniors and adults with home care needs, including disabled people. We're helping people stay living in their homes longer. We are hiring and training caregivers to be able to provide services such as homemaker help, like running errands and cooking meals, to having certified nursing assistants help with bathing and other personal needs.
Q: What is it about caring for seniors that makes you happy?
A: I think it's really knowing that you're helping and improving someone's life. Once we've been able to go in and help, you see the difference you're making. I spent my time traveling, and now I'm in a place that I can call home. It's the first time I've felt I could stay in a place for the rest of my life and part of that is getting involved in the community.

I called a friend the other day. I got her voicemail. As I waited to leave a message, I listened to a song I hadn't heard before. "That's a weird song." I thought as the music played.
Later on, I asked my friend about the song. "Did that song really say what I think it said?" My friend just smiled and said, "You haven't heard it before? Wow! It's a very popular dance that's been sweeping the Nation." Immediately, I started to think about how I used to keep up with all the fads of the world. Now, I was completely "out of fasion."
I guess, over the past four years, I simply became so busy in the work of Christ and so completely satisfied with the things of my Savior, that I no longer have time for the things of the world. Oddly enough, I don't miss it at all!

Hi Jerry,
The name is Mark Yuhr in Miami Florida and as a cab driver, he was robbed at gunpoint by one Orlando Borroso who as a hardened criminal in which had multiple cuban gang tattoo's found during his autopsy.
After robbing Mark, and forcing him out of his cab he proceeded to try and murder him by pulling the trigger on his stolen 9mm which unfortunately for Borroso, had the safety on. In a split second, Yuhr pulled his .45 Colt Commander and emptied the magazine into Borroso from a distance of approx. 2-3 feet. Hit hit Borroso 7 times and after pulling Borroso from his cab, Borroso attempted to get up again and go for his gun. Yuhr, unable to reload his semi-auto colt, then pulled his Taurus .38 spl. revolver. Borroso collapsed without Yuhr had to shoot again, but he, as well as police and subsequent investigators believe that it was essential that Yuhr had a BUG at the ready for follow-up shots if needed.
The name is Lance Thomas. Thomas, a Los Angeles watchmaker and jewelry store owner, over a period of less than 3 years, Thomas was involved in four gun battles against a total of 11 known suspects. He shot six of them, killing five. The watch dealer himself was wounded on two of these occasions, taking a total of five rounds. Thomas has been featured in television programs numerous time including the NBC news program "Turning Point".
You can read about Thomas' personal accounts in the book "The Deadliest Men: The World's Deadliest Combatants Through the Ages." by Paul Kirchner and published by Paladin Press.
Jerry, if you are too lazy to utilize Google, then I don't know what else to tell you except that maybe you don't quite know all that you think you know.
The statistics are out there, I gave you TWO example and places to find more. It has been estimated by researchers and economists with undisputed facts that approximately 2.1 million times a year that armed citizens utilize their lawfully owned weapons to thwart crime, without having to fire a shot. There are also countless documented cases in which armed citizens have had to shoot two or more assailants in an encounter. One watchmaker in California has been in
You, Jerry can call into question whatever you want, but unless you have the evidence to back up your claims, you are just another blowhard. I have a brother-in-law who unless he has seen something with his own eyes personally, it isn't true. There are a lot of people in life who has similar delusions.
To each their own.

Hi Bark'n,
I don't intend to make this personal.
But the examples you gave were not normal CHL holders getting attacked on the street, but business owners who were being robbed. That is a great difference.
I'll leave it at that. I'm sorry you cannot discuss the issue without making it a personal attack because we disagree. Term like "blowhard" and "lazy" do not have a place in such discussions. In fact you know nothing about me, nor I you. I would hope we could discuss things on these forums without becoming emotional, and make personal attacks.
Let's leave it at that, and you still have not shown an example of a CHL holder needing two guns. Cab drivers and jewlery store owners are not anywhere the same. as citizens walking through a parking lot after or before shopping.
I do not intend to visit this thread again.
Just a suggestion, but I would try a butt-forward carry, about 9 o'clock. This allows a more reasonable weak-hand access and a very solid presenting grip with either hand (you reach across the body with your strong hand). Also, while soft grips may feel good, hardwood or hard nylon won't grab your clothing. Just another $.02.
The Trolley Square Mall shooting. Officer Hammond was off-duty, and assigned to a relatively low risk detail on the job (functionally a CCW). I believe he stated somewhere that he would (at least) carry more reloads in the future. In all honesty, he needed another gun. That gun should have been higher capacity, and at least a 9mm (someone correct me, but I believe he used a .380 ...?). IOW, a "primary"........
I would also argue that the cabbie and the jewler are CCW holders. They aren't cops, they aren't soldiers, they are armed citizens. Period.
As for the original topic - I'm not a wheel gun guy myself, but it seems simple logic that two is better than one, and ten is better than five. Certainly, a line has to be drawn somewhere, but that is for the individual carrier to decide. If it is not unduly inconvenient - and you are committed to a revolver - then two functionally identical, dimensionally identical revolvers seems to be a good idea.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Regarding the original question: yes, my wife carries two S&W 642s. She does so because, due to some real problems with her wrists and hands, she cannot fire a semi-automatic without it jamming. Even Glocks. She's the only person I have ever seen who can reliably jam a Glock -- she can't get enough grip pressure to allow it to cycle.
So, she uses revolvers. Her favorite is a 4" Colt Lawman with 38 Special ammo, but too much weight for her to pack around.
She's opted to carry the two 642s, giving her light weight and a possibility of grabbing the second gun in the rare instance where she'd need more rounds. I won't speculate on how rare that is, I personally hope we never find out.
For me, I carry a Colt Defender and a Kel-Tec P32, though I have no idea why I carry the P32, except that it's just been in my pocket so long I'm used to it. No logic here. With my wife, it's her carefully thought out logic to have two identical guns, nothing different to remember, both work the same. She's happy - good enough for me.
Most definitely I offer a humble appology if I made things personal with my remarks...
Still, I don't see how Mark Yuhr in any sense be considered a business owner any more than a pizza delivery person can be considered a business owner.
They are just everyday citizens who are ccw holders who face crime. Whether they are at work doing their jobs, or just walking to their cars in a dark parking lot and being robbed, there are no difference in the dynamics of their attacks.
While Lance Thomas was a business owner, again, he is just a citizen. Business owners all across the nation are mere citizens or civillians as you will. None of those were armed, uniformed security personnel or law enforcement or military, who wear a uniform and in that sense make them a defacto target for an armed aggressor. Hence the words citizens and civillians apply to anyone not in the public safety or military sectors.
They were citizens being robbed at gunpoint. Really no different if you were at an ATM getting $60 cash and 3 thugs approach you with one of them holding a gun. It's that simple.
I am simply saying there are lots of examples out there to rebutt your statements that no one needs two guns, and no one can be caught in a long drawn out gun battle, and that if you ran out of ammo, you would certainly be killed before you could reload.
Examples about that abound, I know it, thousands of members of this forum know it, and I am not going to take the time to re-do all the research to prove what I already know as fact.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
She uses a Milt Sparks pocket holster for her front pocket and no holster at all in her back pocket. Since she wears jeans and untucked T-shirts, the back pocket one stays covered up.
For those who think you do not need a second gun, I guess you do not need a spare tire on your car, cause you will never get a flat, or light bulbs around the house because you will never blow one and be left in the dark. I wish I lived in the world of marshmallows and gummi bears too.
