coolest bar i've been to in a while original, excellent drinks would have been 5 stars but only thing i ate was 1 oyster and it was bad
My first time at the Patterson was a huge success. After having dinner somewhere else stopped by to have a couple of cocktails and relax. I will say the Patterson has brought drink mixology to another level. Drink flavors that included rye bread and lime and ginger and mint. There was a party going on inside my mouth. Also, had the light dessert beignets with cinammon, sugar and salt. Wow, what a dessert. The ladies from Atlanta sitting beside me were yelling about having orgasms and that it was the best thing they had ever put in their mouth. What more can I say. I will definitely be back. I forgot to mention a really cool laid back atmosphere. This place has it all going on.

text: Great recipe to incorporate loads of vitamin A and potassium into your diet, while still tasting good. I do however have a few suggestions. First, use Vegetable Broth instead of water. This makes this recipe at least twice as good compared to plain water. Choose to lowered sodium variety to stay within the healthy realm. Second, use your senses to decide when the Kale has been wilted down enough. From my experience the cook times were at least twice as long to get the right texture and consistency needed in a proper vegetarian dish. Third, try the Whole Wheat with Sweet Potato gnocchi for an added degree of complexity coupled with extra health benefits. So would I cook this again? You betcha!

Our # 1 best-selling product in a NEW easy-to-squeeze tube! Apply before your eyeshadow for more vibrant CREASE-FREE color that lasts for 24 hours.
Special Offer:
Top Shades
EdenGreedRatings SummaryEyeshadow Primer Potion 5542 5542The One and Only!!! I've been using UD Primer Potion from the very start and I've never been able to find a comparable product. So far, I've tried Original and Eden. Love them both! The original formula goes on invisible and makes shadow colors even more vibrant and so long-lasting that it takes some effort to remove with makeup remover. Eden has a lovely, creamy texture and is such a pretty, neutral beige color that it looks nice worn alone with some eyeliner. I didn't think that UDPP could get any better until UD introduced the squeezy tube, which makes sure you don't miss a drop of product and you have more control over the amount you use. I'll be using UDPP until the day I die, seriously! August 16, 2011Each shade has a different purpose, and for different skin types I have oily skin, and I mean OILY. I purchased the summer of Love palette which came with Sin primer potion. My eyeshadow sure as heck creased when I used sin as my primer. I think the color of the cream is beautiful, it just doesn't hold on to oily skin as well. Maybe because of the shimmer formula, who knows. Now, I have been using the Original and that seems to work perfectly. The BEST I can say for super oily skin is Eden. Eden is a heavier formula and isn't as sheer as Original, BUT oh my god does it keep even my cheapest shadows intact on my lids. I'm assuming Greed won't work for my oily skin because it's the same shimmer consistency, but who knows. August 26, 2011How I discovered Urban Decay... This was my very first thing I bought from Urban Decay (I bought the orginal first) this is how my obsession with UD started. This is the first primer for my eyes I've EVER bought too.. So when I put it on for the first time and saw what a difference it makes when I put my shadows on i fell in love.. Now, I don't buy shadow primers from anywhere else and I've tried others, these by far are my fav. I love the orginal but Eden is my favorite.. I actually put it underneath my eyes too, it hides dark circle well for me better than a concealer does and I just like how clean it looks, it makes me look bright like I've slept 12 hours. March 28, 2012All have many uses!!! These primers are amazing! Good selection of natural colors. I have all four of the primers and I love all of them! They can be used in many ways. I use the Original primer potion as a natural looking primer, as a lip primer, and also before I put on my eyebrow powder. I use Sin primer potion for a shimmery champagne colored primer, as a face and eye highlighter, and just a wash of color for my eyes. I use the Eden primer potion if I want a matte look. Eden also balances uneven skin color, so I sometimes use it before coverup on any blemishes. I use Greed primer potion exactly like Sin, but if I want a more yellow gold look or highlight. February 8, 2012A Great Primer! This primer is a must have! My shadows last all day and all night without any creases or smudges! For those who think eyeshadow primer isn't important, think again! If you want that vibrant, long-lasting eyeshadow look, this primer is the way to go! I use it every time! February 23, 2012Primer Potion is the Best Product Out There! I didn't know what primer was until one of my friends told me to try this under my eyeshadows and that Urban Decay Primer Potion was the best out there. I bought Eden in it's new packaging and while I cringed at the price I took the chance. I was so happy with the results and tried it in Original and that is my favorite by far. I just recently purchased Sin and Greed in the vintage bottles and learned how to depot the potion to my money's worth on the product and love it. The shine and shimmer of Sin and Greed are amazing and the fact that it dries to a light powdery finish is beautiful. I use no other primer but Urban Decay. January 31, 2012best primer ever!!!!!!!!! i use to use nothing but mac, i switched to urban decay one day just the primer because i heard online it was a new good product. I have very oily skin everything makes me oily not this stuff. it stay fresh like i just put on my eye shadow. I also use it as a concealer love it works like a charm. Ever since i started wearing urban decay i threw everything else pretty much. i use their primer for face oil control. I also use the palettes, liquid and pencil eyeliner foundation and powder. I love it recommended for oily skin. i even got my gf who has severe acne to switch foundation from mary kay to urban decay she loves it!!!!!!! March 11, 2013What else can be said? It's an industry staple for a reason, people. The price is actually very low, considering how little you need of this stuff. This little tube of wonders probably costs you a cent a day. I'll gladly fork over a penny to have my eye makeup stay put and not make me look like a greasy, untamed harlot. With raccoon eyes. Shudder. Honestly, if you're on the fence about it, here's some advice. Don't cheap out on your makeup collection when it comes to the basics: primer, concealer, and brushes. This is the best stuff in the business. You're worth it. February 3, 2012Ask & Answer(3 Questions : 3 Answers)

This question contains an answer from our staff.1 answerWhat color would work better for tan skin? (medium oily)
Age: 18-24Skin Tone: TanEye Color: Brown1 week, 3 days agoAnswers
A:All shades are designed to be universal to work on any skin tone or skin type.
However, where they differ is the type of effect they create.
Original dries clear and will keep the eyeshadow true to color.
Eden dries with a matte finish and works like a light tented concealer, allowing even color all over the eye lid.
Greed transforms any color to a gold tinted shimmer and Sin adds a champagne tinted shimmer to any color.Age: 35-39Skin Tone: FairEye Color: Blue1 week, 1 day agoThis question contains an answer from our staff.1 answerHow do you apply this product and how much do you need to apply for maximum effectiveness?

I didn't go to bed until 8 am.
I was in bed at 1030.....had to be at work at 8am.
I hope you and your entire family die brutally in a horrible fire
My girl had to work at 6 this morning, so we hit the sack around 10.
Set the alarm for 11:59, kissed each other at Midnight, and went back to sleep.
I got up around 6, and my neighbors were just getting home. Crazy kids.
I went to bed shortly after 11:00.
Been dealing with a cold/sinus issues for over a week now, couldn't make it to midnight. Couldn't really care less about the countdown to New Year's, anyway.
Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone

I was thinkin' about:
Dragon Pulse - STAB, good accuracy and power
Ice Beam (TM) - good accuracy and power, may freeze
Flail (Breeding) - pretty cool
Surf (HM) - STAB, good accuracy and power
Kingdra learnset
Perhaps dragon dance for his last move, his stats are perfectly rounded. from the moves you have, it looks like you're goinf for a sweeper, maybe have waterfall instead of flail (i said this instead of surf since dragon dance would power it up.) I would make more physical moves for dragon dance though if not I would use
dragon pulse/outrage surf agility ice beam/flail
DD Sweeper!
Kingdra@Chesto Berry
EVs - 252 HP/180 Attack/76 Speed
EEnough HP and natural bulk to set up, rest back the damage and release from status, then sweep!
The King in Rain J98 (Kingdra) (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 252 Atk / 80 Def / 176 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Waterfall - Outrage - Flail - Iron Head
The scariest Pokemon you'll ever face is Kingdra used on one of J98's Rain teams (or TorTran). This thing is just... wow. Waterfall and Outrage are all that are really needed. Iron Head and Flail are very situational. Btw, I meant the King IN Rain. Politoed and Kyogre are more the Kings OF Rain.
For His Last move, Surf. It ghas great power and STAB. Flail could be replaced, too, but its a good backup move. Flash Cannon is also an option. Also, try looking at this page: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/4377/is-kingdra-better-than-gyardos
this is my one
Ability: Sniper
Nature: Modest
Evs: 252 speed, 252 S.attack, 6 hp
Item: Scope lens
Ice beam/HP(ground/fighting/fire)(Classic water move or unexpected anti-steel move)
Agility(who needs S-swim)
Gen V
Kingdra (M) @ Dragon Fang
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 204 Atk / 204 SAtk / 100 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
Kingdra @ White Herb/Leftovers
Nature: Modest (-Atk, +Sp. Atk.)
-Rain Dance (Dance to Speed up this monster)
-Draco Meteor (With White Herb, no problem)
-Ice Beam (So... I heard many Dragons have a x4 weakness to Ice)
-Hydro Pump (I want to get STAB and to be able to pass through Steel type)
Note: Hydro Pump can miss, so max up its PP.
Kingdra Trait Sniper Moves; Outrage Dragon dance Waterfall Return
Max out friendship for return. Ev it in attack and speed, also give it the scope lense. Scope lense makes it have a high critical hit chance. Sniper powers up critical hits making a critical hit a one hit kill pretty much. Dragon dance makes outrage stronger.
Ah.. I have this thing saved in my PO box, but I think I can list it off of the top of my head.
~ 5 turns of " Screw you! " ~
Bawsin' (Kingdra)@Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim Nature: Modest EVs: 160 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 96 Spd
Rain Dance Hydro Pump Ice Beam Dragon Pulse
To be blunt, he only needs 5 turns to wreck a team.
Rain gives doubled speed AND let's Hydro Pump get that sexy 50% boost. Ice Beam is still great coverage overall, while Dragon Pulse offers a back up STAB.
EVs gives him enough bulk to set up Rain Dance with enough speed and attacking power to still sweep amazingly afterwards.
I use this set in UU. I'm also in a plain text mood, so no sprite. Don't edit one in either.

Kayla Alexander notched her sixth double-double of the season with 19 points and 12 rebounds and also had five blocks for SU, which at 14-1 overall is one win away from tying the best start in program history. The Orange (2-0 Big East) will try to do that Tuesday against DePaul at the Carrier Dome.

Business ownership brings with it advantages, challenges
By Chris Roark, email@example.com
As the adage goes, the key to a successful business is location, location, location.
Business owners everywhere see that as an added perk when they�re in charge.
One of the biggest advantages of owning a business is deciding where it should be located.
Todd Kerr is one example. In 2009, the Coppell resident opened J. Macklin�s Grill, located at 130 N. Denton Tap Road in Coppell, where a Chili�s restaurant used to exist.
Kerr has had previous restaurant experience, operating The State House in Denton from 1986 to 1996. He then opened up a catering company, which he still runs.
�We wanted to put something into our neighborhood,� said Kerr, a seven-year resident of Coppell. �It was good timing for us because the catering company has been doing so well.�
Kerr said one of the biggest benefits of owning his own business is being involved in the community he belongs to.
�I get to see how things in the community work,� Kerr said. �In the four years that we�ve been in business, I�ve seen young kids get into middle school and middle school kids get into high school. I�ve employed some kids who went to college and then came back.�
Kerr pointed to nearby Mexican food restaurant Anamia�s and its longevity.
�I feel like we�re building a foundation for that for years to come,� Kerr said.
John Meyer, who along with his wife Jamie, owns Cutie Pie Pets pet salon and boutique in Coppell, said community roots are important in starting a business.
�Especially in smaller communities, it�s really big in connecting with the community,� Meyer said. �With all the schools and various groups, the community has been vital in communication. Word of mouth has been huge. They know that we�re small and family owned, so if they have a question, they will talk to the owner. The community has been a big support system for us.�
Small companies can use as much help as they can get, and they often find challenges along the way.
Meyer said the location of Cutie Pie Pets isn�t as noticeable for motorists as it could be.
�Our biggest challenge is visibility,� Meyer said, adding that sign ordinances limit how often Cutie Pie Pets can put out advertising banners. �And we want to minimize our advertising because we don�t want to blast it out there because it can seem less personal than we want.�
Kerr said one of the biggest challenges of owning his own restaurant is name recognition.
�It�s being an individual and not a chain restaurant because nobody knows who you are,� Kerr said. �With time, courtesy, unique food and good service, we�re building a strong foundation.�
Jay Early owns Direct Source, a Flower Mound-based company that distributes a variety of products used in the restaurant industry, such as office products, food service gloves, straws, food cutters, children�s menus and more. Direct Source recently expanded and now employs 50 people. He said success itself can be a challenge.
�It�s a double-edged sword,� Early said. �When you start from scratch, there�s a learning curve. When you make your first million dollars in revenue, then you�re first five million dollars in revenue, there�s challenges at each step. Life is a constant change, so adapting to those changes is a challenge. But it�s been very rewarding.�
While local business owners have faced the challenges, they have also encountered ways to become successful. Atop the list is simply believing.
�If you feel like you have a good idea, be passionate about it,� Early said. �Where there�s a will, there�s a way. You have to take your dreams and ideas and implement them. You also have to balance the risk with the reward, and stick your neck out there. Be prepared to put in long hours, and with that comes the reward.�
Kerr said always look ahead.
�Do a lot of research,� Kerr said. �And stay on top of your costs. Always know how much it�s going to cost to produce your product.�
Meyer said setting the company apart from everyone else is also key.
Make sure there is a need for what you�re offering,� Meyer said. �Be prepared by knowing what will make it stand out because there will always be competition.�

Eddie AdamsEddie Adams (1933-2004) winner of a Pulitzer Prize and recipient of more than five hundred international, national and local awards, is known to be one of the most decorated photographers in America today. Adams is certainly one of the most respected and versatile photographic talents of all time. Over his forty-year career, his work has encompassed the fields of journalism, corporate, editorial, fashion, entertainment, and advertising photography. His most notable assignment was in Vietnam, where he accompanied both American and Vietnamese troops in over 150 operations. It was there, in 1968, that Adams captured the indelible image of Vietnamese General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong lieutenant at point-blank range. Adams was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph in 1969. Among the organizations to which Adams has been associated are the Associated Press and Time magazine. Adams continues to serve as a Special Correspondent for Parade Magazine for the past twenty years. |

Taxpayer Advocate Identifies 'Most Serious' Problems for Taxpayers
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The most serious problem facing taxpayers -- and the IRS -- is the complexity of the Internal Revenue code, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson says in her annual report to Congress.
The Internal Revenue Code requires the advocate to submit a report to Congress each year to, among other things, identify at least 20 of the most serious problems encountered by taxpayers and to make administrative and legislative recommendations to correct those problems.
Topping the list this year: Since 2001, Congress has made nearly 5,000 changes to the tax code, an average of more than one a day, and the number of words in the code appears to have reached nearly 4 million.
"Tax law complexity leads to perverse results," the Wednesday report says. "On the one hand, taxpayers who honestly seek to comply with the law often make inadvertent errors, causing them to either overpay their tax or become subject to IRS enforcement action for mistaken underpayments. On the other hand, sophisticated taxpayers often find loopholes that enable them to reduce or eliminate their tax liabilities."
The solution:
"To reduce taxpayer burden and enhance public confidence in the integrity of the tax system, the National Taxpayer Advocate urges Congress to vastly simplify the tax code. In general, this means paring back the number of income exclusions, exemptions, deductions and credits (generally known as 'tax expenditures)."
The advocate recommends that Congress take several steps, including: consider holding meetings with constituents to discuss the complexity of the existing tax code and the tradeoffs between tax rates and tax breaks tax reform will require; employ a 'zero-based budgeting' approach to comprehensive tax reform that starts out with the assumption that all tax benefits will be eliminated and adds tax benefits back only if members conclude that the public policy benefits of running the provision or program through the tax code outweigh the complexity burden; and direct the IRS to provide each taxpayer with a "taxpayer receipt" in conjunction with the filing of a tax return that shows how the taxpayer's tax payments will be spent.
In releasing the report, Olsen suggested how to determine which "tax expenditures" should be added back:

I'm a member here......why do I NEVER receive pre sale email information?? My email is correct...??? Hmmm. Help, lookin for a presage code for Detroit show....
What kind of music do you like to hear from Bobby? Give an example of a few songs you like to match the style you like coming from Kid. Then tell us why???? ;)@me!
What kind of music do you like to hear from Bobby? Give an example of a few songs you like to match the style you like coming from Kid. Then tell us why???? ;)@me!
I like his old and his new. Every concert of his I've been too, Laughlin, Omaha, Orangebeach, Phoenix, Malibu, Vegas back to back he always mixed things up real well. Gave us just what we needed. Black Bob is one of my favs....Jackson MS......Cadilac Pussy....he if he can say it so can I......Let's Ride rocks!
ok - but only b/c he says it too! lol Let's Ride, that's right, I think I called it let it ride??? But yeah, good one and Jackson Ms too! Black Bob, idt I've heard that one. I'll have to check it out online. Cool to hear from a gent, was wondering what the guys input would be - later :)
Didn't mention before that June 1 2006 the beginning of summer I started writing on the internet at nick cave's website, from kid rock I don't expect anything, they can sell anything on the internet I've written, but from a church, some bands, and spies, yes I expect something from them, they made money from my pain and bad things happened while they did it, and I'm to say to them how about a meal or a job, and for me the wonderful thing about saying that to these people is in Isaiah Tell the daughter of Zion her reward is with Me .
RJ 1969 why do you say September ? It is just my birthday is in September . See some of you picked songs from the album Rock and Roll Jesus, like All Summer Long, he says in the song we were smoking funny things singing sweet home Alabama all summer long, do you all recognize me yet ?
I want to hear a good mix of the RNRJ, Born Free, some of the early stuff, some of the new stuff, maybe a cover or two. I really am not with the blending of a bunch of songs. I honestly feel like it takes away what each song has to offer and strips it. I really do like Let's Ride, Rebel Soul, Midnight Ferry, & The Mirror off the latest. Born Free: Slow My Roll, Purple Sky ( which is one of my favorites), would truly love to hear him play Midwest Fall off of Racing Father Time, Care, When It Rains, God Bless Saturday Night, RNRJ: Roll On, Amen, Rock N' Roll Jesus, All Summer Long, off Cocky: Lay It on Me, Picture, What I Learned on the Road, off Devil: Bawitdaba, Cowboy, Only God Knows Why, ERMSP: Where You @ Rock. Off Grit: Pimp of the Nation, Rock 2003: Rock N Roll Pain Train, Polyfuze: U Don't Know Me, Live Trucker: Devil Without a Cause, American Badass, Somebody's Gotta Feel This.
Oh yeah and i realize some were on other cd's as well. Just going through my music and picking out KID ROCK music i like. I like a nice mix. Honestly i like some of the new stuff, but i don't wanna hear half of it @ the concert. I want to hear a few and the rest a mix of my faves! I seriously doubt Kid can play all those but what the fuck....it is like buying a lottery ticket....DO YOU EVER WIN THAT FUCKER? No but you can still pick your own number!
Hey RJL :)... i'm not saying I want him to sing it, I'm saying even if he did or as a laugh/spoof, it'd sound good:) Only God knows Why for sure. Single Father was good, Lonely Road of Faith Maybe that's not a live crowd pleaser, but that's another fav. of mine. They Say I'm Cocky - All Summer Long - Picture - Lay it On Me - Batawba one is a crowd pleaser, live - Feels Good To Be Me w/ UK - Let it Ride - Rebel Soul - Catt Boogie - The Mirror.
& Slow My Roll - Rock On - Care - Collide - the new one about "Sorry Mamma I did what I had to do..." & ummm Flyin' High - Cocky - and, I feel Like You're Never Gonna Let Me Love You. Not so sure, I like the Chickens in the thingy one though. Cause I'm probably one of the chickens the mule keeps trying to kick out, I mean ya never know. :) I think he should do what he wants, but driving into to work today, listening ( & singing at the top of my lungs :)..) listening to Born Free album... idk, I think I would like to hear an album of I don't want to say ballads, but all of the more, "slow down for a minute, and hear my heart", kinda songs from what he has so far recorded. idk just me, but I think that'd be cool.
One of my all-time faves, Bobbie Jean.
yeah - it means a lot to mee too, cause the timing of it and where I was at in my life were, it was just perfect encouragement and aligned w/ me for all that. Have a great day Val! :)
I admire a great band, but even more I admire a great songwriter with a great live band. He can do it.
Shazam - yes he can! :) Have a great day Blue!
For the next CD (post recovery from world tour), what I would like to see is straight Bob seen, experienced, and felt lyrics and music with TBT, plus Detroit sound. Give the cowriters/accompanying musicians a break for a minute, ASCAP has them covered.
Like to hear what is feels like to be in your forties, bad-assed and reformed (come on admit it.....), with the same band that supports you every nite, nite after nite. What did you all see, what did you all feel, and how do you put that in music so that we can ride with you? No gaudy tricks, no marketing whiz, just a plain old "this is what the experience was like" CD.
You are a very talented man, and I'm sure it's tempting to default, but, Bob if you stick with this, write what you feel, and put it to music after this tour, it will be REAL. Might not sell millons, but since when has Dylan done that, if you get my drift. And I for one, and I think, many many more will appreciate you made that effort, and keep it in their "classics" file forever more....
LOL on the 'reformed', and I agree... very astute of you, Blue.
Reformed is the New BadAss and there's nothing wrong with that ;)
Just Ask Me he heeeee
I just want the fooken motorcycle ride he promised me in 2004. Just him and I. (I know the world knows who he is and I DIDN't Waht eva)...I got my strawberry soup on the cruise in the Fancy restarant..listed on the MENU...I was what a LOVER. that got MAJOR POINTAGE..here.. ME and YOW...TRUE I didn't know how to eat it (Im such a country Hickster) dats OK... Im not the girl that dresses UP as a cowgirl and struts about...I actually kicked around the manure and was one...no glamour just a PUTZ. never had my nails done or toes done by another. If I can bend over I can do that...but massages OMG..OMG...even thinking bout getting a massage chair for my dareier...
LITTLEOLDWTF, you continue to speak the truth and crack me up :) Thanks! "If I can bend over and do that…" that's funny right there!!! And true, I do my own nails, too, reminding me that's included in today's activities at some point. I enjoy the country life, including poo patrol duties :) but I love gussying up, too, for a night on the town. I giggled about your Strawberry soup…I remembered my delightful so many courses I can't remember dinner at Las Vegas' Le Cirque. I didn't send any escargot flying or anything, despite the efforts of each wine pairing, but I remember feeling extra special each time I returned to the table to find a folded napkin. I know now it was their job, but how sweet. Oh, don't get me started on massages…I've experienced great healing from them and I love to give as much as I love to receive. Yum!!! Another crackin' me up statement was one I saw on a recent FB t-shirt post…"Raisin cookies are the reason I have trust issues." So true, so true :)
Man, I Love, LOVE strawberry's... espec with chocolate, the thick fudge kind... yummy! oh geeze, I'm gonna have to run down to the candy thing and get a piece. Thank God - they have little pieces for .25. You get the taste and not the calories, well... not all.
ps - shovelling manure - my Dad made me do that on the farm once, just so I'd have an idea of the work my older sisters were doing... one word. YUCK! That is hard work. Just curious I wonder what nails and toes on the boat would be with... a message. I'll tell ya what if I win the lottery prior, my treat for Shirlee, Bex & u can join if ya want.
If Kid Rock sang - "Ol' McDonald Had A Farm"... I'd love it... ok/ seriously... I'll have to think on this one and come back. ;)
OMG that would be AWSOME,..I think he/they should do it,..each band member has a part,..with an onk onk here and onk onk there,...HellYeah,..All in Honor of that dude in Florida.,
that'd be too cute!!! The audience could help, that'd be us ;)
6 months ago grandson Elliot would be right there with yer request ..Now I get Stop it grandma...I ever tryed some TUPAC got a laugh and a slap...its all good I guess?
I love the old stuff and the new. I enjoy the ability he has to engage all genres. Many in the industry are boxed in to what, "the powers that be" think they should sound like. I love that Bobby never gave in or gave up! Some of my faves;

A suicide bomber walks into a bar. He shouts at the bartender, "Gimme the money, or I blow this place to bits!" The worried bartender hands him a wad of cash, and the bomber departs.
The next day, the suicide bomber returns to the same bar. He shouts at the bartender, "Gimme the money, or I blow this place to bits!"
"Are you nuts?" answers the bartender. "If I give you money every day, I'll go out of business. Plus, you're scaring away the customers."
"I tell you what," replies the bomber, "Gimme the money, and I won't come back until the day after tomorrow."
Welcome to the art of negotiation, Republican style. Since the election of 2010, the United States has narrowly averted three Republican-built suicide bombs: one government shutdown, one debt default and one fiscal cliff. We have two more scheduled for February: across-the-board spending cuts and another debt ceiling expiration.
The Republicans' suicide strategy is a relatively new addition to American politics. Newt Gingrich pioneered the first government shutdown in 1995. It was so disastrous that no one tried it again for 16 years. In the meantime, Republicans pursued a more traditional method known as the democratic process. They campaigned for election and took control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. From 2001 to 2006, the dominant Republicans passed plenty of conservative legislation. (They did not, however, reduce spending or balance the budget.)
When their golden era came to an end, many Republicans refused to accept that the popular will had turned against them and resorted to obstructionist tactics. In the Senate, they have filibustered 391 Democratic bills in the past six years, culminating last month in Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's historic filibuster of his own bill. The Democrats are no strangers to the filibuster, of course, but they managed only 201 in their six years of minority status.
Yet the Senate is a model of effective government compared with the House, now the only Republican-dominated branch of the federal government. Frustrated by their inability to get conservative legislation past the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House, congressional Republicans have revived the "suicide bomb."
The key to the suicide bomb strategy is to convince people that members of the conservative wing of the Republican Party are crazy enough to wreck the economy if they don't get their way. Democratic leaders seem to believe them. Like the hapless bartender, they keep tossing the Republicans wads of cash -- spending cuts and tax breaks -- in order to spare the country from a debt default, shutdown or recession.
But this bomber will not be satisfied by a few payoffs. The Republicans continue to use every opportunity to extract concessions by threatening to wreck the economy ... again. When Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner proposed a permanent debt ceiling extension during the last round of negotiations, McConnell reportedly laughed in his face. The suicide bomb has become the Republicans' most effective weapon. Why would they give that up?

Bok duo commits to Cheetahs
7 Aug 2012
Cheetahs captain Adriaan Strauss and prop Coenie Oosthuizen have signed a two-year contract extension with the central franchise.
Strauss and Oosthuizen will remain with the Cheetahs until the end of the 2014 season. Coach Naka Drotske told Volksblad that keeping the Springbok front rankers in Bloemfontein will ensure that the Cheetahs remain competitive in the 2013 Super Rugby competition.
Apart from serving as captain in the absence of Juan Smith, Strauss has been one of the Cheetahs' best players. Oosthuizen forced his way into the Bok side after some powerful Super Rugby showings. His move to tighthead will offset the loss of Cheetahs prop WP Nel, who recently moved to Edinburgh.

You will struggle to lure him away from the Bloem nightlife.
8 Aug 2012, 11:48 am@Transformation-1: He played TH most of the games while WP Nel was injured.
He was always going to move back to TH, but Naka wanted him to get used to senior rugby scrumming while keeping him mobile. Os had him lose 15kg for the same purpose.

to listen to the full item. But, seems to be saying that wearing a helmet does not make it any safer to ride a bike and the benefits of a helmet are outweighed by the number of people who won't cycle if helmet usage is mandatory.
In other words, on a total population study, the health benefits of getting more people to ride (because they don't have to wear helmets) is greater than the health benefits of forced helmet usage.
I suspect we'll continue to have this debate. I for one believe that high sticking in hockey went up dramatically when everyone started wearing helmets and face shields (because I've played with and without). But the result of that was fewer concussions and fewer cuts overall although I've had my share of cuts with and without helmets and face gear.
There is a reason that they have been mandated in the tours and other races and I've personally seen my share of busted up helmets along with people who are still walking around who wouldn't be.
It's like seat belts, air bags, collapsible steering columns, collapsible car components, safety glasses etc. etc. etc. Heck, the average car today could be priced at half of what it is if we didn't have all that "sissy" protective gear in it.
And in my view helmets aren't the issue about cycling, infrastructure and safe pathways and education are much larger issues.
Submitted by scwood on
I liked the bit about how wretchedly inaccurate the testing model for cycling helmets is, and how it only tests one point of impact (the crown of the head), which isn't even the most common point of impact for cyclists.
When he got to the bit about funding for helmet lobbyists coming from the automobile manufacturers, it really put things in a new light. The bike is competition, and competition needs to be attacked.
Combine that with the total market failure of the automobile helmets he discusses, despite some optimistic numbers from the analysts, and it really starts to look like the real agenda is killing transportation alternatives to force people to buy cars.
It's just the bicycle's bad luck that this can be done by pretending to want cyclists to be "safer."
Submitted by pinkrobe on
Stolen from http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1019.html Go there for references.
"Many people who wear helmets can relate their experience of a crash which leads them to believe that a helmet 'saved their life'. This is a very common experience - very much more common, in fact, than the actual number of life-threatening injuries suffered by bare-headed cyclists. Yet there is no evidence that helmets save lives or prevent serious injury at all across cyclists as a whole [1].
"For example, in the state of Western Australia where bicycle helmets have been mandatory for all ages since July 1992, the annual cyclist death toll from 1987 to 1991 (pre-law) averaged 7.6 fatalities per year. From 1993 to 1997 (post-law) it was 6.4 fatalities per year, representing a 16% reduction [2]. However, Government cycling surveys show cycling declined in Western Australia by approximately 30% during the 1990s following mandatory helmet law enforcement [3]. Thus, relative to cycle use, fatalities went up, not down.
"Why this contradiction?
These facts appear contradictory and counter-intuitive, but there are several possible explanations.
"There is a good deal of circumstantial evidence that helmeted cyclists are more likely to crash, and data from one study [4] suggests that those wearing a helmet are more than 7 times likely to hit their heads if they do.
"Many falls result in arm and shoulder impacts that keep an unhelmeted head just clear of the ground. A helmeted head, being twice as big and a little heavier, is more likely to hit something.
"Another possibility concerns so-called 'risk compensation' - the tendency or willingness of people to take greater risks when they feel better protected. There is clear evidence of this, particularly amongst children, and it is quite likely to be a subconscious reaction. If people take greater risks (such as riding in places requiring a higher level of skill) due to a misplaced belief that their helmet makes them safer, they could be more likely to experience a crash.
"The movement of a helmet or the irritation to the head that many people experience might also affect balance or concentration at a crucial moment.
"But my helmet broke - isn't that proof?
A helmet is a fragile piece of equipment. On seeing a damaged one, it is easy to assume that a serious injury has been prevented. Cycle helmets split very readily, and often at forces much lower than those that would lead to serious head injury. Helmets work by absorbing impact energy through the crushing of an expanded polystyrene liner. Once compressed the liner stays compressed. It does not bounce back to its original form like reusable helmets for some other activities. If a helmet splits before the liner has partially or fully compressed - and this is often the case - then it has simply failed. It will not have provided the designed protection and may in fact have absorbed very little energy at all.
"If a helmet splits after fully compressing, it will have reduced initial forces to the head, but thereafter it will afford no further protection and any residual energy will be transmitted to the brain. Cycle helmets fail catastrophically, not gradually, so it is a mistake to believe that they provide useful, if reduced, protection at higher velocities. In high impact crashes, such as most that involve motor vehicles or fixed vertical objects like concrete barriers and lamp posts, the forces are so great that a helmet will compress and break in around 1/1000th of a second. The absorption of the initial forces during this very short period of time is unlikely to make a significant difference to the likelihood of serious injury or death.
"Helmets provide some protection when there is only partial compression of the liner and they may work better if in addition there is no split or breakage. This is most likely to be the case in crashes that result from low-speed falls without any third party involvement and where, without a helmet, injury would be relatively minor. If the liner suffered no compression, the helmet almost certainly played no role in preventing injury and without the helmet there would have been no injury of consequence anyway."

researching the subject, I decided to not wear a helmet for pretty much the reasons stated in pinkrobes post. As stated in this paragraph:
Cycle helmets fail catastrophically, not gradually, so it is a mistake to believe that they provide useful, if reduced, protection at higher velocities. In high impact crashes, such as most that involve motor vehicles or fixed vertical objects like concrete barriers and lamp posts, the forces are so great that a helmet will compress and break in around 1/1000th of a second.
They don't offer much protection at speed,which is when we need them the most. But none of the articles I read while researching, mentioned at which speed, or what speed the combined forces would be equal to. Such as car going 30kmh hits bike going 20kmh = combined speed of 50kmh. or bike going 50kmh hits light pole.
I'd like to see a study showing at what speed various helmets fail at. I think for those who chose to wear a helmet, it would be invaluable information, when shopping for a helmet to wear.
Submitted by BCDon on
First off, ALL helmets "fail", that is their job. The material crushes which lessens the impact. Now the question is whether in doing its job the helmet will help you and that is depenedent upon your head speed, what you hit, how you hit, position of your body, position of your neck, whether you get run over after etc.
There are just too many variables involved in an accident to state that a helmet will "prevent" an injury. But, you can be assured that it will decrease the decelerative forces that your brain undergoes and that is its role. At higher speeds it probably won't decrease the force enough to keep you alive but at lower speeds it likely will.
Riding a bicycle or any other activity is all about risk management. When you engage in the activity you increase your risk. Then, you can do things that will decrease your risk. For the most part it is up to each person to decide where they want to be on the risk continuum.

Had many customers, whose helmet prevented a greater injury and have told us about them. New helmets are lighter and have better airflow. I think a lot of people look at helmets as heavy and too hot for riding because they have an old helmet with little airflow and in truth the styrene is so piled that it wouldn't help them if they crashed anyways. A helmet may not save you when the car hits you hard but when you slide out on a tight corner or a dog runs in your path and yo are forced to take emergency action at least you don't have a concussion.

I was glad to be wearing a helment in an emergency. While riding my chain broke and i ended up crashing hard, with my head hitting the pavement. My helmet did in fact crack and I was grateful it was not my head hitting the pavement. After that I will always wear one, *just in case*
Submitted by scwood on
Helmet foam protects by being crushed, which slows the deceleration of the skull and turns a sharp shock into a slower, longer pressure gradient.
When it splits or cracks, it doesn't dissipate even a small fraction of the energy it can dissipate by crushing. Your skull just passes through the crack and smacks into whatever cracked the helmet without the gentle deceleration the helmet is supposed to provide.
A helmet that worked properly in an accident would have a permanent depression at the point of impact, but would still be in one piece.
If your accident was so severe that the helmet first crushed and then cracked, then the _duration_ of the protection was probably too short to contribute reducing injury.
A theatrically shattered bike helmet was probably no protection at all.
Submitted by BCDon on
And strongly. The crushing of the inner linner PROVES that the helmet did its job and helped to avoid or minimize internal brain damage. If the outer shell has cracked then that's evidence that the contact was more severe.
Case in point, my daughter, while snow boarding managed to fall onto the back of her head and crack the outside of her helmet from the base to the top, one long crack. Very little noticed deformity with the inside of the helmet but some. Snow board and skiing helmets are more robust than cycling helmets so it took a lot of force to do that. She didn't even know it happened! But, she has hit her head before and not have the helmet crack and knew it.
While putting a helmet on a person and swacking them with a baseball bat would prove the effectiveness of a helmet to a non-believer I still wouldn't advocate it.

There are helmets (full face and BMX) that are designed for multiple impacts. But these still have to be inspected for cracks and for the interior becoming loose. It sucks that you have to buy a new helmet but hopefully it is your only cost.
Submitted by BCDon on
When it is a Troy Lee designs Motorcycle helmet costing around $800 that protected you. Well, it is good that it protected you but with the side impacted and scraped up and the foam a bit compressed on the inside it sucks that I had to purchase another one. Oh and at that I blacked out for a microsecond - although who really knows when you go down at 100KPH+ in a tight curve.

I have two bike helmets and both of them consist of high density foam and a plastic shell glued to the outside of it to make it look perty. Both are high end, over $100 brand names you would all recognize. Every helmet I have ever looked at is the same.
So, that said, I am dying to know what kind of helmets you guys are talking about because these helmets dont crack. The plastic glued to the outside may of course, hell... mine has and I just crazy glue it back down. The high density foam underneath wont bust unless you jump on it or run over it with your car. It dents. You can smack it against a pole and it dents a bit.
If you have foam core helmets that are breaking... you clearly got a dud from the factory.. there is just no two ways around that. I have kicked the crap out of Troy Lee over 17 yrs. I mean literally. I have tossed it on the ground, its fallen to the ground, I have hit things with it out of anger/frustration, I have hit the ground with it... its still solid as the day I bought it except with some little tiny flat spots in the high density foam where the impacts took place. It's scuffed, cracked and broken on the outer shell.
I'm dying to know what all this talk is about breaking/cracking helmets is about. I am definately missing the boat on it. We went through all this in that thread I started about helmets a few months ago and as usual... passionate. lol. Fiberglass helmets get soft spots and spider web outwards from the impact zone so they become useless (motorbike helmets, kayak helmets) and snowboard helmets are plastic with foam inside so they will never break. I just dont get it. Breaking, cracking helmets does not compute.
Edumacate me. ;)

Lets see, my first post was about my daughters "Red" snowboard helmet. Crack in the plastic (and underlying foam) extending from the base up to the crown. She smucked something, "sometime". She is an aggressive snow boarder and I've seen her hit her head a few times. Anyway, purchased new helmet.
Fast backward (in time), son who is an avid bike rider has gone through 2 helmets. One from "stunting" and hitting a parked car when the headset of a borrowed bike came loose :). Helmet foam crushed, outside plastic cracked. Now that would have been a less expensive helmet but still CSA. Then another daughter, carrying a CSA approved helmet after skating, slipped and the helmet smucked onto the ice, result was that the plastic outer surface was cracked (cold?).
Fortunately, all the way through, starting with my "Bell Biker", including the "V1 Pro" (which I found the other day, need to ride with it for fun some time) and now helmets cost far too much I haven't personally had a problem but others close to me have.

I've had two bicycle helmets crack right through from crashes. They are foam construction with plastic shell. Needless to say I replaced them.
It is my understanding that a foam type helmet are designed for single impacts and should be replaced after one impact, even if there is no visible damage. A hard shell helmet with a harness(like a climbing helmet) can take multiple impacts.
From Wikipedia "Bicycle helmet" entry:
"The Snell Memorial Foundation recommends that any helmet that has sustained a substantial blow should be discarded and replaced, including any helmet involved in a crash in which the head has hit a hard surface or in which a fall has resulted in marks on the shell"
Here is the link to the Snell FAQs on helmets:

The $400 road helmet has the same safety rating as the $40 helmet. You are paying for design costs, better retension system, size runs, lighter weight. Personally, if it fits and is comfortable you'll wear and that is the important thing. IF you are worried about price, wait until the Bow Cycle Blue Light sale in spring and get it 40 to 50% off.

I totally agree that helmet *laws* are a stupid, misguided load of crap.
But, I'm going to keep wearing my helmet. I'm quite sure I wouldn't have "just" cracked my eye socked and fucked up half my face in the one "big" crash I've had if I hadn't been wearing a helmet. To each their own, of course...and the type of cycling is of course a factor: tootling around town isn't the same as descending treed singletrack as fast as possible.

The City of Thomaston is now taking entries for its annual "If I Were Mayor" Essay Contest for 6th grade students. The contest is open to all Georgia students, including private school and home schooled students, currently enrolled in good standing in the 6th grade during the 2012-2013 school year.
A $100 gift card will be awarded to the winner and a $50 gift card will be awarded to the runner-up. Winners will be notified by March 4, 2013, and will be invited to read their essays at a Thomaston City Council meeting.
Each essay must include the student's name and school. The entry form must be included with the essay. Only one essay per student.
Essays must address the subject, with the first sentence beginning with: "If I were Mayor, I would…" Essays must not exceed 350 words.
When writing their essays, students should consider some of the things that mayors can and cannot do. For example, mayors can work with the city council to decide where businesses and housing should go in the city; apply for grants to make parks nicer, roads wider, and sidewalks safer; work with the city council to decide how the city should spend its money; make laws to stop people from littering or speeding; and recommend hiring city employees like police officers, fire fighters, and building inspectors. Mayors cannot build theme parks; make a law that parents can't make kids eat vegetables; give everyone money, mansions or cars; or fix school lunches.
Essays must be received at Thomaston City Hall by Thursday, February 28, 2013. Official entry forms can be picked up from the City Manager's Office at the Government Complex, 106 East Lee Street. An entry form is also available on Page 5A in today's paper.

A group of plaintiffs including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, lawn, landscape, and forestry companies and associations have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, seeking to block a sweeping new Labor Department rule drastically rewriting the H-2B temporary and seasonal non-agricultural visa program. H-2B is widely used by the landscape industry and other interests to fill seasonal labor needs when too few American workers apply for such jobs. The plaintiffs in Bayou Lawn & Landscape Services et al. vs. Solis seek a temporary restraining order to block the rule from taking effect as scheduled on April 23. ANLA and many state partners have assisted with the effort to challenge the rule; the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association recently contributed $5000 to the ANLA Beacon Fund to assist with the litigation.
"The Labor Department and union allies are destroying the only labor safety net available to many green industry firms," said ANLA vice president for government relations, Craig Regelbrugge. ANLA is also urging members to support two Congressional resolutions of disapproval on the new H-2B rule. For more, visit www.capwiz.com/anla.home.
Bert Lemkes, co-owner of Van Wingerden Intl., Mills River, NC is testifying today before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement. The subcommittee is holding a hearing on the E-Verify program, and identity theft issues. Lemkes' growing operation, which employs 350 people at peak season, is using the federal E-Verify program and has learned first-hand of challenges it poses for agricultural employers. Lemkes cautioned Subcommittee members that making E-Verify mandatory without broader reforms could have the opposite of its intended effect, since false documents that feature a legitimate name and Social Security number routinely clear the E-Verify system now. It would also deprive greenhouses, nurseries, and farms of much of their labor force.

Keep your finest automatic timepieces constantly wound.
Each handcrafted watch winder case is the perfect accessory for keeping your favorite watches constantly wound. Silent motors with intermittent timers and directional controls keep any automatic movement wound.
The mechanical movement inside an automatic watch is kept accurate by a spring that operates most efficiently when it is kept wound at all times. Over time, an automatic watch that is not kept wound will begin to lose accuracy. Keep yourself on time and beautify your home and watch collection with a Steinhausen watch winder today.
