A warm Kaiser role from Christopher Plummer
Knew more about Wilhelm II than the movie reveals
Scott Marks 3:09 p.m., June 23
I swallowed the lump in my throat as my eyes peered upward. Surveying the Jewelry Exchange, on the corner of Sixth and E downtown, I felt small and insignificant. I gazed up at the eight-story building, which occupied a quarter of a city block. Alternating pinks the colors of smoked and grilled salmon, banded and trimmed with emerald green, gave the place an air of modernity, but the dusty fans and battered air conditioners in the windows betrayed the building's age. I entered with trepidation. As my eyes darted over the directory, an armed guard asked if I needed assistance. "I'm looking for the Serengeti Company," I stammered. "That would be on the fifth floor, ma'am."
My out-of-placeness was enhanced by an intolerance for elevators; the upward motion left me dizzy. In an effort to regain my equilibrium, I focused on the chip in my diamond. The diamond in my engagement ring stood prominently on my small finger. It represented enduring love to me. The one-carat stone was a family heirloom; it came from a pair of earrings that had belonged to my husband's grandmother.
For the ring, my husband had chosen a modified basket setting — which positioned the stone down low — with a single diamond baguette on either side. He must have remembered how I complained about modern rings, which set the diamond so high it seemed about to take off like a glittering rocket. He knew I preferred the old-fashioned. The stone itself had an old-fashioned cut, called a miner's cut — the tip at the base was cut flat, so when you looked straight down into the gem, you saw a tiny circle, about a quarter of the size of a pinhead.
I thought my diamond invincible, like our love. I wore it while washing dishes or scrubbing toilets. I took it off only to squeeze ground beef and veal between my fingers as I made meatballs. Now, inexplicably, it was chipped. The perfect circle of the table was interrupted by a dimple that dropped down the side. It wasn't like a pit or a pothole; rather, it was as if a plane had been sheared off. Even in its distress, my diamond was orderly and elegant. Still, it had been niggling me for months. I no longer noticed the reflected light; my eyes went directly to the imperfection. And so, I assumed, did everybody else's. I had been sent to the Serengeti Company by a neighbor whose husband was a friend of the owner to get information on diamond repair.
I made it to the fifth floor and I found the Serengeti Company. The secretary buzzed me in and asked me to have a seat. Five minutes later, I was motioned into a back office. As the owner, Gene Dente, rose to greet me and reached out his large hand, my earlier feelings of puniness returned. I found myself remembering the first time I had attended a professional football game and how, once I'd descended from my seat in the nosebleed section to the first row, I'd been amazed at the size of the players. Dente did not have the girth of a football player, but his features and frame were commanding. His manner was professional and reserved, yet generous. I gave him the ring to examine.
"It's got two chips," he pointed out. "You have lots of choices to repair that stone. You could just take it and spin it so that the prongs would be on top of the chips and you wouldn't notice them. Or you could polish it down by flattening and softening the problem areas. That would make the stone slightly out of round, however.
"Or if you wanted to, you could give it a total recut. The technology exists. The stone would be put upside-down on a spinning pedestal. As it spun, a laser beam would be shot through the stone and a software program would read the image. The program would then take the diameter between those two chips and tell you by formula what the stone would weigh if it were perfectly cut. If you recut it to ideal proportions, your value would go down in one way, because you've lost some material. But there's an increase factor in the value of a perfectly cut stone — significantly higher than this stone. Cutting causes the stone to be more beautiful."
I was intrigued. Was less really more? My thoughts left my diamond and its possible repair. I wanted a better look at the mysterious world of the Serengeti Company. I questioned Mr. Dente about diamond evaluation. "We really focus on four levels, which are the four C's: color, clarity, cut, and the carat weight." He offered explanations of each, starting with color: "Diamonds go from white all the way down to brown. We want to discern how much color is in a stone. The less color in the stone, the more potential it has to be beautiful. The more color a diamond has, the less rare it is, the less valuable and, theoretically, the less desirable." Rarity, desirability, value, and beauty began to swirl in my mind, rubbing up against one another, arranging themselves this way and that, heightening my curiosity.
The degree of color is expressed through letter grades. "The designators start at D in the alphabet and go down to Z. The letter grades are translated into terms." Dente pulled out a chart that pictured five stones of varying color labeled with letter grades. "See here, where it says colorless [D–F]; near colorless [G–J]; faint yellow [K–M] — that actually could be light gray or brown; very light yellow [N–R]; and light yellow [S–Z]. Although that says 'light,' if you look at it, it's pretty doggoned yellow.
"We really have to use narrow parameters to give these evaluations. So even within these terms, there is variance. In the very high end of the term 'near colorless' — G — there is an absolutely white stone, while at the low end of the term — J — there is going to be a hint of yellow. Trace elements within the diamond cause the color variations. For example, nitrogen is not part of what causes a diamond to be created. So a diamond completely absent of nitrogen might be a D color.

What impact can American history have on the life of the vulnerable individual? It is 1951 in America, the second year of the Korean War. A studious, law-abiding, intense youngster from Newark, New Jersey, Marcus Messner, is beginning his sophomore year on the pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio's Winesburg College. And why is he there and not at the local college in Newark where he originally enrolled? Because his father, the sturdy, hard-working neighborhood butcher, seems to have gone mad--mad with fear and apprehension of the dangers of adult life, the dangers of the world, the dangers he sees in every corner for his beloved boy. As the long-suffering, desperately harassed mother tells her son, the father's fear arises from love and pride. Perhaps, but it produces too much anger in Marcus for him to endure living with his parents any longer. He leaves them and, far from Newark, in the midwestern college, has to find his way amid the customs and constrictions of another American world.--From publisher's description.

Bulldogs Host Gamecocks on Wednesday Night
Jan. 21, 2014
About the Game
Probable Starters
#Assists Per Game
Head Coach: Mark Fox
Head Coach: Frank Martin
The Last Meeting
February 23, 2013
Athens, Ga.
Georgia vs. South Carolina
Saturday's game is the 101st all-time meeting between Georgia and South Carolina in basketball. Georgia holds a 52-48 lead in the series.
Georgia is 6-2 versus South Carolina under head coach Mark Fox.
In the 21 years of divisional play (1992-2011), Georgia and South Carolina split their regular-season games evenly at 21 apiece. That includes regular-season sweeps by Georgia (1994, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2011) and by Carolina (1998, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2009).
Just once have these two teams met in the post-season SEC Tournament. That occurred in the 1997 tourney in Memphis, where Georgia won a semifinal matchup, 78-63.
Before 1992, these two schools were annual opponents -- mostly once a year, other times twice and occasionally thrice -- from 1938 until 1964.
Georgia has won six of its last seven match-ups with the Gamecocks dating back to 2/7/09.
A geographical breakdown of the series follows:
More Noteworthy
Offense on the Uptick
One thing is apparent through the early going this season: Georgia's offense appears to be measurably more effective than last season, even without its best scorer from 2013. In 12 of 16 games thus far, the Bulldogs have scored well over their seasonal average (60.8) of last season. The team's overall shooting percentage has also risen from 40.8 of last season to its current mark of 44.9.
Already, Georgia has shot over 50 percent from the field in seven games, more than twice as often as in all of 2012-13. The Bulldogs began this week ranking 39th nationally in FG percentage.
About the Schedule
Conference expansion manifests itself in many strange ways, not the least of which occurs in scheduling. Georgia fans noticed this oddity most recently as their football team has traveled to Auburn in consecutive seasons.
This season their basketball team will experience one of the oddest quirks to its schedule in years. Kentucky will not travel to Athens for a game this season for the first time since the 1962-63 season. Same for Tennessee. For Florida, which also won't play a game in Athens this season, the last time it didn't play in Athens was in 1961-62. The Gators are the most frequent opponent in UGA hoops history.
It took a World War to keep all three schools out of Athens together in the same season the last time. Not since the 1943-44 season -- when Georgia dotted its schedule with random groups like Lawson General Hospital and Robins Airfield -- has this phenomenon occurred.
Georgia and the SEC
Following are a few tidbits about Georgia's history in the SEC:
Georgia's all-time record in SEC games, covering 80 years, is 501-733 (.406). That ranks 10th of 12 SEC members (excluding Missouri and Texas A&M).
Georgia can claim one SEC regular-season championship (1990), one regular-season divisional title (2002) and two SEC Tournament crowns (1983, 2008).
Georgia has had just two AP SEC Player of the Year: Dominique Wilkins in 1981 and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope last season. Other superlative post-season awards include Coaches' SEC Defensive Player of the Year (Rashad Wright in 2004), AP SEC Newcomer of the Year (Jarvis Hayes in 2002), and Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Dave Bliss in 2008).
Wilkins was the first of four Georgia players to lead the SEC in scoring at season's end. He averaged a league-best 23.6 points per game in 1981. Others to follow him have been Vern Fleming (19.8 ppg in 1984), Jumaine Jones (18.8 ppg in 1999) and Jarvis Hayes (18.6 ppg in 2002).
Georgia has an all-time SEC Tournament record of 40-51. The 2008 tourney marked the first time since 1997 that Georgia has reached the finals.
Staff Changes for 2014
For the first time of his 4+ seasons in Athens, head coach Mark Fox made changes to his immediate coaching staff. Three-year UGA letterman (2002-04) Jonas Hayes was promoted from Operations Coordinator to Assistant Coach. A native Atlantan, Hayes returned to UGA in 2012 after serving as an Assistant Coach at Belmont Abbey in North Carolina for five seasons. He had also assisted the programs at South Carolina State, Morehouse and his alma mater, Douglass High School, after graduating from UGA in 2004.
Hayes, whose twin brother Jarvis continues to play professionally overseas, became the first Georgia basketball alumnus to hold a full-time assistant's position on the staff at his alma mater since Mark Slonaker assisted Hugh Durham from 1989-95.
To replace Hayes in the Coordinator's position, Fox hired Byron Samuels in May of 2013. The Winston-Salem, N.C., native, is a veteran of the collegiate ranks whose career includes head coaching stops at Hampton, Radford and, most lastly, at Hillsborough Community College, where he coached recent UGA alum John Florveus. Samuels is a veteran of SEC basketball, having assisted four Tennessee teams that earned NCAA Tournament berths.
Fox Best at Molding Talent
Blogger and hoops junkie Dan Hanner of RealGM.com penned an article in February of 2012 that anointed Georgia head coach Mark Fox as the top coach in college basketball at player development. Hanner used a complex formula to rate college coaches. Among Hanner's many observations he writes, "Mark Fox has truly been fantastic at getting the most out of his players."
The top five in the Player Development category include Fox; Bo Ryan (Wisconsin); Craig Robinson (Oregon State); Lorenzo Romar (Washington); and Mike Montgomery (Cal).
Perhaps the most tangible proof of Fox's talent development is the number of NBA draftees and current pros that have played for him. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope became the 11th player under his tutelage to get drafted by an NBA club. He was the fourth 1st-rounder.
Fox Also Tops at Producing Grads
Head Coach Mark Fox must also receive some degree of credit for developing high-performing students in the classroom. Since his arrival in April of 2009, no fewer than 14 Georgia basketball players have earned their undergraduate degrees. Every player that has exhausted his eligibility at UGA under Fox has completed his degree.
Prominent among this group of 14 includes Damien Wilkins - nephew of UGA great Dominique Wilkins - whose last year of eligibility came in 2004 and who has played professionally in the NBA ever since.
Last summer the Georgia program was recognized by the NCAA for its Academic Progress Rate (APR) scored of 990, which ranked among the top 10 percent of all men's basketball programs.

A crate would be a great idea. My Flat Coated Retriever isn't much of a barker, but having a crate to put her back into might help with the barking. It'll tell her "Hey, I gotta go back to sleep." It's also a great idea to crate train her as she enters her chewing phase so she doesn't destroy things when you leave the house. I would also keep ignoring her when she's barking. Giving into her is showing her that barking means good things. It's something that you might have to grin and bear for a little while, unfortunately.
Yes! Flat-Coated Retrievers can come in yellow. It isn't an accepted color in dog shows because Goldens originated from FCRs and yellow was an unwanted color b/c it a Golden color. Another way you can tell if your pup is an FCR is that their front bottom two teeth are shorter/lower than the rest.

Yes! My Flat Coated Retriever would try and chase/eat any other animal. They are very much hunting dogs.
Flat Coated Retriever's are a hunting dog and if the have been used in the field possibly, but they could become fast friends if they are introduced to each other an early age.

I have a Flatcoat and can tell you the easiest way to feed her is quality dry kibble and drizzle some olive oil over it. Not only will she eat it up but it gives her coat a great shine. She will really have no special needs other than her regular check ups with the vet. She should be an absolute sweetheart once she is used to everyone and feels safe
She has been shedding a lot is that normal? I don't believe she is purebred, but has long hair and a lot of it.
It's great you have the heart to pick up a stray. Flat Coated Retrievers don't shed more than many long haired dogs, but it's black and you do notice more, Goldens shed tons more. Check your local feed store rather than a "pet" store. There are many quality foods without the premium price, check the ingredients. They should start with meat. A regiment of heartworm and flea medication is advisable.
You should get your dog to the vet to check her for worms. Most dogs found outside have worms, especially heart worm.
At Next Day Pets® you can find the perfect four-legged companion from the comfort of your home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Next Day Pets® employs stringent verification checkpoints to ensure our puppy listings are safe and secure.

White Sox 7, Mariners 3: Adam Dunn hit two homers and drove in five runs, and Chicago left-hander Chris Sale racked up a career-high 11 strikeouts to help visiting Chicago continue its dominance of Seattle.
The White Sox have won eight of nine against the Mariners, including six straight at Safeco Field. They are 17-3 against Seattle since the start of the 2010 season.
Chicago took control early, staking Sale to a 6-0 lead and chasing Seattle starter Hector Noesi (1-2) with one out in the second. Dunn did most of the damage with an RBI double in the first and a three-run homer in the second. Dunn added a solo shot in the eighth off Hisashi Iwakuma.
Making only his third major-league start, Sale (2-1) kept the Mariners guessing with a steady diet of two-seam fastballs and sliders. He allowed three runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.
Jesus Montero hit his second home run, and Ichiro Suzuki drove in two runs for Seattle.
GAME NOTEBOOK: It was Dunn's first three-hit game since May 11, 2011, and his first multi-homer game since Sept. 24, 2010. … Chicago's Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski were both held hitless, the first time this season that neither had a hit. Konerko had hit safely in 11 of 12 games.

This question was triggered by my thoughts on the CO incident in another thread. If you could have stopped the shooter in CO right after he started shooting, but there was an innocent person right next to him that you might hit, what is the right thing to do?
I am not 100% sure how I feel and am looking for honest evaluation, not platitudes about the basic firearm rules. What is the right thing to do, and what should you do legally?
We know he shot 70 people. If you could have stopped it at 1 or 2, would it be worth it? Could you shoot knowing that you might sacrifice 1 person to save 11 more, or 50 more. Could you emotionally handle the one death by your hand to prevent more deaths by his?
The family of the person you might hit would probably say don't do it, but how do you know that he won't just turn and gun her down next anyway? But they would ask who you are that you should play God and decide who lives or dies. Is it better for me to make that decision about 1 person, or let the madman continue to exercise that decision about many many more.
Could you handle being villanized by the anti's and the hindsight is 20-20 people who would then not know how many lives you had saved, because you did not allow the madman to continue. There would surely be jail time for you if they figured out that it was your gun that killed this person, especially if the media got wind of it.
I understand that as a random citizen we do not have the "responsibility" to intervene, we are not police, and many will say that my responsibility is to my family and myself, but even so, I feel at least some responsibility as a human to not let bad things happen if I am in a position to stop them. I guess this is part of my cost/benefit analysis on this type of sittuation. From the LEO or military in the crowd, how are you guys trained on this topic, and do they explain how that training might apply to average citizens?
What do you all think?

Students at Crestwood Elementary were riveted by the wild bird show put on by Joe Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association. They learned that loons are not closely related to ducks but are related to penguins. Students had many questions about the owls, hawks and turkey vulture they were able to see as well as a pigeon and chicken they were able to pet. The visit was paid for by a donation to the wildlife program by the family of Lance Urbanski, a student at the school. The Wildlife Recovery Association is a non-profit 501c3.

Considered among the most destructive weapons legally available to civilians in the United States, 50 caliber rifles are military firearms, used by armed forces across the globe, that combine long range, accuracy, and massive power.1
A 50 caliber rifle can hit a target accurately from distances of 1,000 to 2,000 yards, depending on the skill of the shooter, and can reach targets at a longer range, sacrificing accuracy.2 Designed for use in urban combat situations, these weapons can penetrate structures and destroy or disable light armored vehicles, radar dishes, helicopters, stationary and taxiing airplanes, and other "high-value" military targets.3
Despite their deadly power, or perhaps because of it, 50 caliber rifles are proliferating on the civilian market. Because they are considered long guns, however, they are subject to less regulation than handguns.4 In fact, under federal law and the laws of nearly all states, any 18-year-old who passes a background check may purchase a 50 caliber rifle.5 Moreover, because federal law and the laws of most states do not require private sellers to conduct background checks, 50 caliber rifles may easily be purchased by criminals at gun shows and elsewhere.
Federal law enforcement officials have identified cases of criminal use of 50 caliber rifles "with a nexus to terrorism, outlaw motorcycle gangs, international and domestic drug trafficking, and violent crime."6 Fifty caliber rifles sold in the United States have also been identified as one of the "guns of choice" of Mexican drug cartels, and have been used "to assassinate Mexican police and other government officials traveling in armored vehicles."7
A 2007 report by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) recommended that Congress ban 50 caliber sniper rifles.8 Additionally, 85% of Americans support laws restricting the sale of 50 caliber rifles.9
The destructive power of the 50 caliber rifle can be magnified by the use of certain types of ammunition that are legal under federal law (although banned in some states). In addition to the standard "ball" round of 50 caliber ammunition, armor-piercing,10 incendiary, and combination armor-piercing and incendiary ammunition for 50 caliber rifles can significantly enhance their destructive capacity,11 particularly against chemical and industrial facilities12 and civil aviation targets.13
Although most of the data regarding 50 caliber firearms relates to rifles, the industry also has introduced 50 caliber handguns. Smith & Wesson, for example, manufactures a handgun that can fire a 50 caliber round and that may be capable of penetrating the highest grade of concealable body armor typically worn by law enforcement officers.14
Summary of Federal Law
Federal law does not regulate 50 caliber weapons. Federal legislation to regulate or ban 50 caliber rifles has been introduced several times since 1999, but these efforts have been unsuccessful.
Summary of State Law
California and the District of Columbia ban 50 caliber rifles. Connecticut bans a single model of 50 caliber rifle. Maryland imposes various regulations on transfers of 50 caliber rifles. No state bans 50 caliber handguns.
For laws banning fifty caliber cartridges, see our summary on Ammunition Regulations.
Description of State Laws Banning and/or Regulating 50 Caliber Rifles
1. California:
a. Prohibited Activities: California's 50 caliber ban prohibits a wide range of activities; it applies to manufacture, possession, distribution, and importation of 50 caliber rifles, as well as sale, offering for sale, and transfer.15
b. Definition of Banned Weapon: California's ban on 50 caliber rifles defines the banned weapons based on the type of cartridge they are capable of firing. California's ban prohibits "50 caliber BMG rifles" which are defined as any "center fire rifle that can fire a .50 BMG cartridge." A BMG cartridge is then defined in detail based on specific length and diameter.16
c. Grandfathering: The California law provides that in order to retain possession of a 50 caliber rifle, any person who lawfully possessed such a weapon prior to January 1, 2005 must have registered it no later than April 30, 2006.17 See our summary on the Registration of Firearms for features of comprehensive registration laws.
2. District of Columbia: The District deems .50 BMG rifles unregisterable, thereby prohibiting the possession, sale or other transfer of these firearms.18 The District does not allow the continued possession of such rifles possessed prior to the ban's enactment.
3. Connecticut: Connecticut bans the possession, distribution, importation, transportation, and keeping or offering for sale of the "Barrett Light-Fifty model 82A1," which is included in the state's definition of assault weapon.19 Connecticut required the registration of assault weapons owned prior to the ban's enactment.20
4. Maryland: Maryland is the only other state that in some manner regulates the 50 caliber rifle, including the "Barrett light .50 cal. semi-auto" in the list of assault weapons defined as "regulated firearms." Transfers of regulated firearms are subject to enhanced background checks, minimum age restrictions and waiting periods. Moreover, firearms dealers and private/secondary sellers must comply with additional regulations when transferring a regulated firearm, and purchasers are limited to the purchase of one regulated firearm per month.21
San Francisco, California
An ordinance adopted by the City and County of San Francisco, California in 2004 prohibits the sale or transfer of any "50 caliber firearm or 50 caliber cartridge." "50 caliber firearm" is defined as any firearm capable of firing a center-fire 50 caliber cartridge, and includes 50 caliber handguns. The ordinance has been superseded by state law with respect to 50 caliber rifles, but continues in effect with respect to 50 caliber handguns and cartridges.22
Key Legislative Elements
The features listed below are intended to provide a framework from which policy options may be considered. A jurisdiction considering new legislation should consult with counsel.
- Ban applies to 50 caliber rifles (California, District of Columbia), 50 caliber handguns, and 50 caliber cartridges (San Francisco)
- Prohibited activities include possession, sale, purchase, transfer, loan, pledge, transportation, distribution, importation, and manufacture of 50 caliber rifles (California bans manufacture, possession, distribution, importation, sale, offering for sale, and transfer)
- Pre-ban weapons are not grandfathered and instead are to be rendered inoperable or removed from the jurisdiction (District of Columbia)
- Alternatively, if pre-ban firearms are grandfathered, there is a registration mechanism for grandfathered firearms, with strict limits on transferability, use and storage of pre-ban weapons23 (California)

- Cal. Penal Code §§ 16790, 30500-31115. California's ban on 50 caliber rifles was adopted after a number of local cities and counties in California imposed local bans on these weapons. See, e.g., Los Angeles, Cal., Municipal Code ch. V, art. 5, § 55.18; San Francisco, Cal., Police Code art. 9, § 613.10-1. ⤴
- Under the definition of "destructive device," California also bans the possession, sale, offer for sale, and knowing transportation of incendiary and tracer ammunition that is equal to or less than .60 caliber, for use in rifles, including .50 caliber rifles. Cal. Penal Code §§ 16460, 18710, 18730. Connecticut also bans distribution, transportation, importation, sale and transfer of armor piercing or incendiary 50 caliber bullets. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53-202l. ⤴
- Registration is critical to any law that exempts pre-ban weapons. Without such a provision, it would be nearly impossible to enforce a possession ban because there would be no way to determine the date an individual acquired possession of a banned weapon. ⤴
- D.C. Code Ann. §§ 7-2502.02(a)(7), 7-2505.01, 7-2505.02(a), (c). ⤴

- San Francisco, Cal., Police Code art. 9 § 613.10-1. ⤴
- See our summary on the Registration of Firearms for features of comprehensive registration laws. The most comprehensive system of regulating the purchase, possession and ownership of firearms combines registration of firearms with licensing of gun owners. Additional information on licensing of firearm owners is contained in our summary on Licensing Gun Owners & Purchasers. ⤴

Thread: 3 things to save money
3 things to save money
Name three things you could start doing today to save money right now.
My family and I did this challenge at the dinner table tonight, my girls had some good ideas. I'll share what I think were our top three were, and you share your three, and hopefully this will spark all of us to make some small changes to save on our budget.
1. We will pack lunches every night for the whole family.(5) This will save us about $100.00 per week, we normally spend about $140.00 right now minus out what I will spend on groceries.
2. Instead of washing our clothes every time we wear them we will hang them back and wear a few times in between washing. This should save me at least 5 loads a week.
3. I have gotten away from clipping my coupons, so I will start using coupons again and watch the sales flyers better to start stockpiling on most used items when they are cheapest to buy.
I hope to get a lot of ideas from all of you, we all could use a new tip or two.

Those are awesome points, what we do here is:
1. Turn off the lights or appliances that are not in use
2. Re-wear clothing once or twice more if no stains present (or they dont stink, lol) This means, shirts and pants.
3. No eating out of the house and eat leftovers (I always think things taste better the 2nd or 3rd time around)
We try to follow these except the kids and DH have a hard time with #1.~TRACY~*
Trying to live the Simple Life.
I LOVE flea markets, yard sales, couponing,
crafting, making all natural body products and homesteading.
* I make handmade salves, balms, scrubs, room sprays and candles!
* Want to Travel the US, live my dream and simplify my life!
Savings: $500 - Opened 3/20/17 - I CAN DO THIS!

1) utilize supplies I have on hand , rather than purchase new. ie: making black walnut cookie bars, instead of chocolate chip cookies because I have free black walnuts in my yard, vs purchasing chocolate chips. . . or scrounging my yarn/fabric stash and making gifts based on my stash, rather than finding a pattern first, and then having to purchase materials to make it.
2) Creative use of all foods-- saving the potato peels for bacon/cheese/peeling appetizer dish, dehyrstating and powdering carrot tops, celery tops, etc. Pureeing leftover mac/cheese and using as the base of a cheese soup, etc.
3) taking "navy" showers , rather than full showers or baths, then saving the shower water to flush the toliet.11-05-2006, 10:10 PM #5

No heat for me in the morning, instead I jump on the treadmill and feel the warm glow until I leave for work.
Only use dryer for softening up line dryed clothes

2- kill the soda habit -- I tried, I fai -- oh, you get the point

What a great idea for a thread!!
My three - things that we could do right now (but aren't already doing) to save money - are:
1. Stop eating out.
2. Combine more errands to cut driving by ... maybe 30%.
3. Eat less (and lose some weight)11-06-2006, 03:04 AM #11

my three
1. bring washing inside to dry instead of using the dryer ( it getting cold for outside)
2. keep curtains pulled and doors closed in rooms not in use and in the evenings - hopefully this will get things abit warmer and not need to put heating on as quickly
3.Finish a couple of handmade presents needed for this week otherwise i will end up having to buy insted.11-06-2006, 07:49 AM #12
All great tips...
Mine are:
Stop impulse buying...today I am organizing my craft stuff and I am amazed at how much stuff I have because of impulse buying...(old habits die hard)
Plan my meals for the week-eliminates the need to eat out because I know exactly what I need to prepare
And only use cash-once the money is gone, its gone...11-06-2006, 08:11 AM #13
Wow! Thanks for all the great ideas! Keep them coming! I can't wait until my girls get home from school today so I can sit down with them and show them all these great tips you all have shared. I'm trying to get them started at a early age (Twins are 11 and my youngest is 8) to be frugal and get the most out of thier money. Have a great day everyone!11-06-2006, 08:23 AM #14

Mark Levin reports role in Giuliani attack on Clinton
Research ››› ››› NIKI JAGPAL
On the September 14 edition of his nationally syndicated talk show, conservative radio host Mark Levin took credit for a new advertisement by Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's campaign attacking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY). Levin said that he met with Giuliani on September 11 at Fox News host Sean Hannity's 2007 Freedom Concert and suggested that the former New York mayor link Clinton with the liberal group MoveOn.org and demand that she and other Democratic presidential candidates denounce the group's September 10 advertisement in The New York Times criticizing Gen. David Petraeus. As Media Matters for America documented, Giuliani's ad misrepresented Clinton's position on the 2002 congressional resolution authorizing the president to use force in Iraq.
Levin went on to describe Media Matters as a "phony group," claiming that it is linked to "Hillary Rotten and her husband, 'BJ' Bill Clinton." In fact, Media Matters is not affiliated with any political candidate or party.
From the September 14 edition of ABC Radio Networks' The Mark Levin Show:
LEVIN: Good evening my friends, this is Mark Levin. Our number is 877-381-3811 -- 877-381-3811. We did our analysis yesterday of the president's speech. Right there, right after his speech. No need to do more of that today, unless, of course, you want to talk about it. I don't know how much more can be said about MoveOn.org, the sleazeball operation that was set up in 1998 by the Clintonoids with their hemorrhoids. Funded by billionaires Peter Lewis and George Soros to fight Clinton's impeachment, and has been a Clinton front group ever since. And she is MoveOn.org.
When I was at the Freedom Concert in New Jersey on Tuesday, I met briefly with Rudy Giuliani with Sean [Hannity], and I told Rudy Giuliani, "MoveOn.org should be linked to Hillary Clinton." I told him that every presidential candidate on that Democrat side, we should demand that they denounce this organization and what they have done. And little did I know that he was actually listening to me. It's the right thing to do. This is a Clinton front group, that's why she hasn't denounced it. 'Cause she likes it, she believes in it. We have all kinds of sordid groups out there that are linked to Hillary Rotten and her husband, "BJ" Bill Clinton. This, what is this, Council for American Progress, that's a phony group, Media Matters, a phony group, MoveOn.org, a phony group, and on and on. They all work together. They're all using different parts of the tax code as they try to slime their way to office.

4 liter fuel system help
Totalled the XJ on 131 in January. Acquired an 89 YJ with a wheezing 2.5 and decided to swap the XJ drivetrain into the YJ. Donor is 98 XJ 4 liter / Aw4. The swap is coming along and I have acquired the fuel tank from a 95 YJ for the higher pressure pump and bolt in factor. This is when I found out the early 4 liter HO systems use a 2 fuel line pressure and return system. The 98 engine uses the single line and dumps pressure in the tank. All I have found on the early system is the drawing in the factory service manual.
My options are to find a TJ tank or fuel rail from an early 4.0 HO - I think
A] Is the early fuel system regulator a mechanical regulator ? Are there any other differences ? Will the 98 PCM work with the 95 set up ?
B] Will a TJ fuel tank bolt into a YJ ?
C] Anyone have the parts I need ?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Florida vs Georgia Prediction Against the Odds
Point-Spreads.com is really looking forward to making a strong Florida vs Georgia Prediction for all our readers. The undefeated No. 2 ranked Florida Gators (7-0, 6-0 SEC) take on the one loss No. 10 ranked Georgia Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) in a game that will dictate who controls the SEC East division. This game is called the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail party and takes place in a neutral location on Everbank Field in Jacksonville at 3:30 PM EST and will be aired on CBS. The college football point spreads posted by the odds maker have the Florida Gators -6.5 point spread favorite against the Georgia Bulldogs.
"Jacksonville is going to be rocking and rolling as the Florida Gators are playing some outstanding football," stated College Football Prediction expert David Patrick of Strike Point Sports on Doc's Sports Advisory Board. "I was shocked to see this Gator squad cover the line versus Vanderbilt coming off their thrashing of South Carolina. I thought they would have a little letdown. But they didn't, and I am starting to believe in them as a title contender."
The college football odds makers have the Gators vs Bulldogs spread on the Total set at 46.5 points. The money lines show the Florida Gators -255 odds and Georgia +215 odds underdogs.
Patrick went on to say this about a potential Florida vs Georgia Prediction: "Georgia is and has been overrated all season long. Living down in the South all that you hear is about how good Georgia is year in and year out and yet they always seem to leaving their fans wanting. Each year it is a different excuse: bad coaching, bad officiating, back game-calling, yet you never hear, we just aren't as good as advertised. Georgia seems to lose more big games by double-figures than they win outright. The Dawgs typically struggle in games they aren't supposed to win and they win the games they are supposed to. But even in those they don't seem to play that well, like beating Kentucky last weekend 29-24. It should be interesting to see if Florida can run the ball against a Georgia defense that was supposed to be one of the nation's best, even though they gave up over 70 yards rushing to two different running backs versus Kentucky, 35 points versus South Carolina, and 44 points to Tennessee."
Point-Spreads.com is making this Free Florida vs Georgia Prediction: Take the Gators to cover the spread
Strike Point Sports has a solid 23-10-1 winning record with their last 34 football plays of 5.0 or higher and they will have a 6-Unit College Football Game of the Month on Saturday October 27th.

The sound is great straight from the keyboard but sound even better through an amp. With over 400 sounds and even more percussion sounds, it is easy to find a sound for everything. Even though a professional can use it on stage, this keyboard is better for the beginner. The weighted keys give it a very real feel. The touch sensitive keys allow the performer a great range of artistic liberties. I enjoy writing songs using this keyboard and recommend it to the beginner to intermediate keyboardist.
For the number of keys and features on this keyboard, its a really good deal. The 1/4" input is a rarity on cheap plastic keyboards, but this one has it, allowing you to plug into an amp or PA system with ease. The USB function is the best part--this keyboard makes a fine MIDI controller, though i can't get the pitch wheel to work in MIDI mode. Some negative points are the plastic construction and non-reinforced jacks. It's sturdy enough, but one of my black keys wiggles noisily when played, though it and everything else still works. The onboard sounds are most terrible, not as great as these other reviews claim. The grand piano is actually pretty good, but the electric pianos are laughable. Organ sounds are passable. 98% of the patches are garbage. Overall, though, it's a very good deal for a 76 key MIDI controller, and the 1/4" jack makes it feasible for band settings. A good buy, a useful workhorse, but nevertheless.
The sounds on this are good for the price, especially the "Sweet" and "Cool" sounds (I don't know what these mean, but they sound much better than the rest of the sounds). Great grand piano, lots of organs, percussion... everything you need basically. The keys are not weighted, and I don't personally like the way they feel, but it is very expensive to get piano-feeling keys and you have to sacrifice some of the sounds and features of a keyboard like this to get them. I haven't messed with the recording features much, but it seems to work without too much trouble. The speakers on this keyboard are pretty weak... 100% volume doesn't even crank out much. You'll have to have an amp if you want to play along with anyone else.Overall, well made, good price, good sounds.... I think its worth dealing with "keyboard" keys to get all the cool sounds and features.
For the money, this is probably the best keyboard you can get. It's perfect for beginning musicians, it has enough keys for most songs, and a wide variety of instrument voices. The keys don't offer much resistance, but that's to be expected for a value keyboard. The ability to connect to a PC is good, but it only supports up to 5 midi tracks per song. The piano voice sound isn't the fullest either, but it is pretty good. Overall, excellent for amateur musicians, if you are part of a brand though you'll probably need to look for a more advanced keyboard.
Awesome tone and simple controls make this an easy unit to use. For the money this keyboard is tops.
I bought it just looking for something quick and dirty for organs and strings, has some very nice sounding instruments for the price, I like the fact that it also has some decent sounding chorus voices for group play but do not seem to do well if playing solo (group play helps to fade out the unnatural timbre)
This keyboard has helped me alot. Before I got it I didnt have a keyboard that I felt good about playing. But for the price, the clear (acoustic like) sound surprised me, as well as the features. The recording and PC features I found to be really helpful, when inspiration hit me I didnt have to stop and write whatever I just played down, I could just record it and play it back whenever. I find the numerous "Instrument" choices to be a bit excessive but they are fun to play around with. Overall, Yahmaha's quality shines through in this keyboard as much as it does in my acoustic piano.
This is a great keyboard. If you didn't know, it doubles as a midi controller. When you get this, buy a USB cable and get a synth computer program. I just use the demo version of fruity loops. The sound on this is clear as a bell. I would recommend this to anyone from a MIDI writer to beginner learning to play (did i mention it has a great education program too?) to live musician. This thing is the bomb.com
Awesome keyboard and a great price, I would defintely recommend it to any one who is starting a band or is already in one. The keyboard has a really nice sound the grand piano sounds just like a real piano and the sustain pedal works pretty good. Over all great sound, great features and a great price, my only complaint is that the speakers dont crank out much sound and if your planning on playing in a band your probaly going to need to by a keyboard amp for this baby unless of course you are going to play in a band that plays real softly if thats the case wait to by the amp and just see if it works for your band, but I strongly recommend an amp beacuase the drums will over power the keyboard but other than that this keyboard is awesome defintely a great buy.
This keyboard is a great buy. I would recomend it for anyone. It is also very easy to use. The piano setting on it sounds almost exactly like a grand piano. It has about 488 different sounds. This keyboard is worth the money that you pay for it.

When you work hard developing a consumer-recognizable brand, with a logo and a branded image and reputation, a trademark attorney can help you protect these assets. Trademark application attorneys can advise you on all aspects of the trademarking process, including the need for notice of your trademark claim, which forms to use (and how to file them), and whether or not you should formally register your trademark with the government. Trademarks are the only protection your logo and brand have, and trademark application lawyers are the only ones who can successfully prevent them from being misused.

"Kathy at point of hue did a marvelous job designing the interior of my renovated home. She picked a color scheme that makes me smile and seems to facilitate happy gatherings in the space.
She also did a new paint treatment on the fireplace surround that turned an ugly 1930's fireplace into an elegant focal point for the living room at a tiny cost. The space is small and open and she was able to find a furniture arrangement that works so well in flow of people and activity with small and larger groups, that it seems the space morphs to the need. And it is easy on the eye and inviting.
Everyone who visits oohs and ahs and then asks for Kathy's name and number. Kathy used my favorite things so that anywhere my eye alights, I see a cherished object, yet the space seems clean and uncluttered, which it never does when I do the arranging. Her ideas for adding one or two specially chosen new pieces dramatically changed the look and feel of the rooms.
Kathy has a good eye for detail and kept the painters and workmen on the straight and narrow. I would recommend Kathy and A Point of Hue highly and will continue to use her."
- Suzanne, Washington DC
Kathy Connelly has been helping my home look great for almost twenty years. She began by helping with color ideas for walls, cupboards, other woodwork and radiators in different rooms of my house. She has also suggested just the right small touches of glass, porcelain, and pottery in colors that fit beautifully.
The first colors that she found for me were a beautiful warm gold accented with cornflower blue woodwork for one room, paired with a complementary deeper yellow for an adjacent room. Over the years she has helped me find paler and more subtle colors for other rooms as more furnishings and carpets added color and design elements of their own to each room. This year she found a miraculous blue to go with a floor of hand-painted pale blue tile that changes color and shade in different lights.
While I have studied fine art and design for decades, there are times when I am stumped by color and design and then I turn to Kathy. Kathy has a knack for visualizing space, color and shapes, that has helped make my home a comfortable and welcoming space that grows richer with every year that passes.
- K.S., Chevy Chase, MD
"We can't thank you enough for giving us what feels like a brand new family room. We are really enjoying the view out the windows that we could not appreciate with the old furniture arrangement.
I never would have thought to bring in some of the furniture and accessories that you assembled from other rooms but it all looks beautiful together due to your eye for color and texture. Plus, the mantle is truly a focal point of the room now as a result of the artwork and accessories you put together.
The transformation is amazing and we will enjoy it for years to come"
- Susan and Greg, Potomac, MD
"I could never put my finger on what was wrong with my room but you did -- in one afternoon. You showed me that less really is more by taking things out of the room which not only made it look better, it felt better too.
I always thought a decorator would (1) cost too much or (2) that they would come up with a design that was nice, but not feel like me. But I loved what you did with the things I had - and I didn't have to buy anything (although your suggestions about how to take it to the next level were great and on my to do list).
So you put an end to my belief that it would cost me too much to hire a decorator. I think you actually saved me a lot of money by making me appreciate what I had when it was arranged in just the right way. I love it. Everyday I come home and look at my "new" room and smile. It's not the same old place I've lived in for years, it's new and fresh. It's a nice way to begin the next phase of my life."
With my sincere appreciation,
- Sharon, Arlington, VA
"I was blown away by the new look of my living room after a few hours with Kathy. I was stuck with a room where I really liked my furnishings, but I was didn't know what to do with a sectional sofa and an arrangement that I thought was the only possibility for the room.
I couldn't believe how good the room looked after they were done and the how the perfect design solution made all the difference. Everyone who came to look loved the room and said that it was more inviting and that it is a room they would love to spend time in. Even my husband said it was a huge improvement."

Wolfe on National All-Rookie Team
College Wrestling
Rider's Wolfe AWN All-Rookie Team
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ—Rider University freshman Ryan Wolfe was named to the Amateur Wrestling News All-Rookie team.
Wolfe (New Castle, Del./Caravel) finished his rookie season with a 23-11 overall record as the Colonial Athletic Association 184 pound runner-up.
"Ryan started the season as a red-shirt then was inserted into the starting lineup around mid-year and did a great job for us," said associate head coach John Hangey. "Ryan is a very talented wrestler who has a strong desire and work ethic to be the best in the country. "
A true freshman, Wolfe was supposed to red-shirt the 2012-13 season but was thrown into the starting lineup due to injuries on the Rider squad.
AWN ranked Wolfe as the fourth best 184 pound freshman in the nation.
Wolfe went 7-2 in dual meets, 5-1 against CAA opponents, and advanced to the CAA finals before losing to national qualifier Cody Reed of Binghamton in sudden victory in the CAA finals.
Wolfe helped Rider finish runner-up in the CAA Championships, Rider's last CAA tournament before moving to the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL).
Wolfe was the 2012 Delaware State Champion and was a two-time State Finalist at Caravel Academy, where he was the Beast of the East Champion and ranked 12th in the nation last year. The Delaware Wrestler of the Year in 2012, Wolfe compiled 173 wins, the second most all-time in Delaware Scholastic wrestling.

Very interesting development. While this looks like a purely symbolic gesture only being for a week, it lends itself to better development.
Swedish dockworkers to block Israeli ships, goods
Swedish dockworkers will launch a weeklong blockade of Israeli ships and goods arriving in the Nordic nation to protest Monday's attack on a Gaza-destined aid flotilla.
Nine activists died after Israeli troops intercepted the convoy.
Swedish Port Workers Union spokesman Peter Annerback says workers will refuse to handle Israeli goods and ships during the June 15-24 blockade. The union has some 1,500 members and supports "Ship to Gaza," which took part in the flotilla.
It says "the reason for the blockade is the unprecedented criminal attack on the peaceful ship convoy."
It was unclear Saturday how much the blockade would affect trade between the two countries since the union still needs to identify cargos with Israeli origin.

Bill McBean built one of the most profitable General Motors dealerships in Saskatchewan, Canada. He later helped turn around an underperforming auto dealership in Corpus Christi, Texas. Now he runs McBean Partners, a family-owned investment company, and frequently mentors other entrepreneurs, offering his hard-won wisdom from the trenches.
McBean's four decades of business experience led him to write the book The Facts of Business Life: What Every Successful Business Owner Knows That You Don't, which offers advice based on the specific stages in a company's life cycle.
The Intuit Small Business Blog recently asked McBean about his "facts of business life," the challenges of staying on top, and the need to balance planning and action. Excerpts of our interview follow.
ISBB: Which facts of business life do you think small-business owners will find most surprising?
McBean: Asset protection. Most business owners want sales, gross profit, expense control, and net profit. They don't think of asset protection as their first priority, but experience tells you in the long run that asset protection is important. When you're just starting out, you don't know how quickly your business can be destroyed by not protecting your assets. If your inventory is wrong, your business is crushed. If you buy new equipment for $50,000 and use it once a month, that $50,000 was wasted.
By asset protection, you're talking about protecting inventory and equipment?
Assets aren't just the ones you see on your balance sheet. It's a philosophy. How can your products and services best suit the customer? Be great at managing customers after they buy, so they stay with you. The same goes for employees. You've got to protect those assets.
Why is it so crucial for small-business owners to adapt their leadership to the stage of business they're in?
If you're in business, you just can't have every month be the same month. You lose focus on where the finish line is. In the five levels of business (opportunity, creation, success, maintaining success, and moving on) the first two levels are all about preparation. The three action levels go from survival to becoming successful in your definition [to] remaining successful, which is a lot harder than most people think.
Why do you think it's so challenging to remain successful?
It's so much work to become successful and once you're successful, that fire in the belly dies a bit and apathy sets in.
How can small-business owners avoid that apathy?
Take a deep breath, but that deep breath can only be so long. Once you become successful, there are competitors coming out. Older competitors realize you've come in and taken some of their business — and they want it back. Once they think you're successful and not searching for opportunities, it means that you aren't keeping your eyes on the market. My advice for leaders is to understand that the competition is still there and that apathy begins with them. They cannot allow themselves to become apathetic. They're the ones that have to put their foot to the gas and not let up.
There's a danger in focusing too much on planning at the expense of action, or vice versa. How can small-business owners find the right balance between the two?
There is a way to bring those two together. The problem with a lot of people is they plan far too much, and it bogs them down. That's where it really comes to a grinding halt. My recommendation for people who haven't planned much is to begin very simply. Find two or three things that they think will make a difference. Set your company up to succeed and build up your plan quietly over the years, but don't overplan.
