"Great place, excellent staff"
Reviewed Apr 30, 2013
maretx01 | houston
This hotel worked with my group at the last minute after we werer flooded out of our campgrounds. They didn't overcharge the waw some hotels do when you walk in. We had a nice 2 bed room with ample space and a hot breakfast *eggs, sausage, bisquits and gravy or waffle options). There is only one detractor for me and that is that they are pet friendly. I love animals, and understand the need to travel with them, but we had a very barky dog in the room next to us and it was very annoying. Luckily he didn't start barking until 7am. Overall, I would highly recommend this La Quinta.

"Worst hotel ever"
Reviewed Apr 30, 2013
Jennifer B | Friendswood, Texas, United States
There was a huge part happening on our floor, people running in and out of each others's rooms. After complaining multiple times management did nothing. We called the police 3 times and the group was not kicked out. The next morning the same group harassed us, with my 2 year old. They called us horrible names in front of the desk and breakfast area, none of the staff stepped in. It was horrible.

"Fabulous hotel, except for sleep quality in OUR room"
Reviewed Nov 26, 2012
TBoneTX | Sugar Land, TX
This seemingly new hotel is spotless in every way. The design, decor, maintenance, and cleanliness rival that of any 5-star hotel in a large city. The staff whom we saw were all Americans, and uniformly professional, cordial, intelligent, and knowledgeable. The ground floor (of 3 floors) had a spacious lobby with a large television; a meeting-room; a fitness center; a business center with two computers; public restrooms; and a vending/ice area. We (wife, toddler, & I) stayed for the one night of 23 November 2012. We arrived at 2p, which was not too early to check in. The web reservation was completely in order and was handled with lightning speed. Our "executive king" room was spacious, spotless, and well-lit. There was a small closet, a refrigerator, a microwave, an iron & board, and a lamp on every table. The extended portion of the room had a stuffed recliner chair, a loveseat, and a coffee table. The king bed was very high off the ground, had at least 5 firm-but-soft pillows, and had a combination sheet/blanket (see below). There was no item of overt danger for our curious 22-month-old, who loved flicking the lamp-switches. The heater/AC unit was controlled from a wall thermostat. The television had a zillion channels, albeit nothing in Spanish (disappointing the wife). There were plenty of electrical outlets throughout. The bathroom was stocked with small bottles of shampoo and hand-lotion (no conditioner), a hair-dryer, and (get this) linens that were all actually new and absorbent. Counter space was adequate even for the wife's 439 bathroom items. The shower rod was curved (thus avoiding curtain suck-in when the shower was running); the showerhead was at least 7 feet up the wall (THANK YOU); water pressure from every fixture was fine. The toilet was one of those vacuum jobs, not the fill/swirl/settle traditional type that ALWAYS plugs up, however little is in there. The toilet paper was of high-quality softness, and the facial tissue was the best on earth. However, our sleep quality was very poor. (NOTE: Your experience may differ for the better, so take the below as one opinion only.) 1. The hotel needs to find a way to muffle room doors from slamming & latching so loudly. We had to keep our A/C unit on constant "blow" in order to create white noise. 2. There needs to be a way (at least in rm. 217) to keep the A/C unit from depositing air directly on the bed, even from across the room and with the window curtains partially blocking the air flow. It's great to have a strong A/C unit that reaches that far, but two of us awoke coughing during the night, twice, because of the air directly in our faces. 3. The combination blanket/sheet may seem efficient from several internal standpoints. However, it kept sliding off the bed with us in it and on it. We could not keep it on us during the night. Furthermore, our little boy -- who was sitting WELL atop the bed -- slid off the bed along with the blanket/sheet and fell on the floor, despite our efforts to grab him. Fortunately, he was unhurt, albeit terrified. This blanket/sheet arrangement presents a liability issue for LaQuinta. Were I in charge, I would immediately return to the traditional separate blanket/sheet/bedspread, the extra housekeeping labor and laundering costs aside. 4. The above items prevented two exhausted adults + toddler from sleeping more than fitfully. We arose dead-tired and not in great moods. The hotel's free breakfast was complete, hot, and of excellent quality and taste, exceeding that of many sit-down restaurants. Checkout was as efficient as check-in had been. Aside from the sleep quality (which, again, could have been peculiar to our room), the experience was top-flight. All of the above "deficiencies" are correctable, and every other aspect of this hotel serves as a model for all other properties in the LaQuinta chain.

When the Scioto County Financial Planning and Supervision Commission met last week details were given on what it would take to get the county out from under its fiscal emergency status.
Sharon Hanrahan, Financial Planning Administrator for the Ohio Office of Budget and Management and Chairwoman of the Scioto County Financial Planning and Supervision Commission, said the county could be out from under the fiscal emergency status imposed by Ohio Auditor of State's Office by the end of the year.
"I have this feeling, and in most cases it's a general feeling of any commission, is that 99 percent of the reason why these commissions are convened is because there are fund deficits somewhere. Well, there are no (longer) fund deficits (in Scioto County)," Hanrahan said. "This does not mean Scioto County is out of this emergency, there is an actual process that needs to take place. The county has addressed what brought them into fiscal emergency, deficit fund balances."
She said the Ohio Revised Code outlines specific guidelines and requirements for municipalities to be relived of the fiscal emergency status.
"One of the requirements is that no new fiscal emergency conditions occur since you were put in fiscal emergency. You pay your bills and among other things," Hanrahan said.
She said a report on the county's accounting methods has been submitted to Auditor of State's Office for review.
Chris McCoy of the Auditor of State's Office said a report on the county's accounting methods has been sent to Columbus for review.
"We have been down here (Scioto County) trying to address some of the comments made on the report," McCoy said.
Hanrahan said these measures are taken to ensure the county is in better shape when the fiscal emergency status is lifted.
She said another requirement is five-year budget projection for the county.
"It's hard enough to do it (budget projects), let alone five. We don't expect it (the five-year budget projections) to be right on, we realized they are estimates. What is most important to that five-year forecast is its assumptions," Hanrahan said.
McCoy said that 2014 information has started to be collected from each of the county departments. He expects to start work on the five year projections by the end of summer.
"Is Scioto County healthier than when it went in (to fiscal emergency status)? Absolutely. Is Scioto County out of fiscal emergency? Absolutely not. Not until it meets the criteria in the revised code,"Hanrahan said. "Eventually, after they meet the criteria the determination analysis from the auditors has to occur. I was realistically thinking about the end of this calendar year. What that says to me is that we're not off the hook yet.
No future meetings of the Scioto County Financial Planning and Supervision Commission has been scheduled.
Hanrahan said the commission would need to call a special meeting to consider any debt obligations the county would incur.
"Yes, things are a lot better but we still have this label and because we have it, we still have to work with it," Hanrahan said.

LOVE those stickers!!!! But any of your other creations would be lovely, too! I've not had a chance to read your blog in detail yet, but since everyone is raving about your baking & recipes, do you have any scrumptious GLUTEN-FREE baking recipes? I've pretty much given up on any baked goods -gluten-free stuff is SO DRY, often tasteless, but I still live in hope there's something out there. Visit me @ (#874) for an Angel Card Reading Giveaway.

CD Review All or Nothing at All.
Bebop Spoken There
"Hank [Mobley], as far as I've heard, never played a wrong or corny note." Eric Alexander (Jazz Times June 2013).
"I don't even remember learning to read music. I could always do it." - Henry Lowther (Jazzwise July 2011).
Bebop Spoken There archives (From Greg Abate to Mike Zwerin!)
June 23 Ray Chester Tribute Concert.
As most of you already know, sadly, Ray passed away in January this year and as a mark of respect and celebration of his music, the band has agreed to perform one final concert with all proceeds going to St Benedict's Hospice (Monkwearmouth). It is probably, most fitting that this "Tribute Concert" will be at the Customs House, South Shields where Ray has appeared every year since 2007. A memorable and emotional night truly awaits the band's last captive audience. The event is being recorded and modestly priced copies can be ordered on the night. Tickets available from the Customs House – 0191 4541234 or www.customshouse.co.uk

CD Review All or Nothing at All.
Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
Lance (Who wishes it to be known that he is not responsible for postings other than his own and that he's not always responsible for them.)
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com I look forward to hearing from you.

Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
17 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Internal frame rust - evil or benign?I've meticulously removed every speck of rust from every little nook and cranny on a cro-mo frame. Its sparkle is blinding. What I can see of the tubes' internals though is a very different story -- they're caked with quite a thick layer of smug looking rust.
Is this anything to worry about and if it is, how do you deal with it?
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?You can get treatments to spray into frame tubing to kill/supress rust I believe. Something like this might work well, or this one. Others may know the names of similar products.
Second point - I have a Cro Mo frame that took a few bad scrapes from about 2000 on. I was a bit over touching-up, so left them. They developed a patina of light rust and that is all - no further corrosion. The bike is still in regular use by my son. Cro Mo has about 5-6% chrome in it. Stainless steel has about 11% chrome, so this helps make Cro Mo very rust-protected Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Old news to some here, but I have a Giant CrMo MTB frameset that is about 22 years old and is currently still in use by a friend. I sweat a lot so the underside of the top tube looks pretty sad. I've never internally treated it and it is still going.
There is a list of things you can coat the inside of a frame with, like linseed oil, lanolin, Frame Saver, Boeshield etc. I used Lanoguard Marine & Chassis in my Surly frame before I assembled it 3 years ago. Don't know if it will make a big difference. I'm already battling some intermittent rust problems on the outside. I just repaint or keep spraying the Lanoguard occasionally, depending how lazy I feel.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Depends what the frame is worth to you but if it were valuable I'm pretty sure you can get some chemical dips done that won't effect your paint and will neutralise the rust.
Once thats done, you need to get something into the tubes that'll coat them to prevent rust from re-forming. There was some good suggestions above on possible products. Our Website is: http://www.pro-liteoz.com Find us on Facebook by searching for "Pro-Lite Australia"
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Don't know about today but back in the 60/70s you need to be on the ball with frames that were chromed as they would rust from the inside out.
Lanolin would be my pick as you can keep giving the frame a touch up every twelve months yourself, if you were worried. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?I always used Shell Ensis fluid, but it may be difficult to get. Just visit Supercheap Autos. They have a range on rust treatment products - you are bound to find something suitable.

Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Thanks everyone.
It's nothing special, just a rescued Nishiki Bombardier I'm tooling around with. It had nauseating purple stickers under clearcoat on raw metal. I couldn't remove those stickers fast enough and now the outside's looking pretty swish. My intention's to clearcoat the raw metal again and stay away from any stickers (especially purple ones) so I can signal passing aircraft with it's reflections. The external rust was pronounced in a couple of spots around the lugs and there were are few minor little outbreaks on the bosses etc., but the amount of internal rust seems disproportionate -- I've glimpsed the inside of the top tube and even that is very rusty. On the plus side, the frame can double as maracas due to the noise the trapped flakes of rust make when it's shaken. So, it's not a serious or important project -- I wouldn't want to spend any substantial amount on it -- and if I could be certain it wouldn't get worse, I'd just forget about it. I've got an old bottle of some "rustbuster" neutralising stuff that I might try to inject that into all the sneaky bits and hope I can coat all the internal surfaces. Should be a rollicking good time. Cheers.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?In addition to the other suggestions, you can get "fish oil" pretty cheap in an aerosol can. Last time I used it (on a good quality double butted frame) I payed a fair bit of attention to cleaning up the seat tube, the head tube and BB shell as much as I could of rust, then squirted the fish oil in every other cavity and left it to try for a couple of weeks. It will run out the drain holes (if the frame is high enough quality to have drain holes) so you need to clean it up afterwards before you paint the frame again. If I planned things better, I would have cleaned up the insde + fish oil + waited first, then sanded the frame after waiting a couple of weeks to save a bit of work.
Overall, most steel frames made since the 1980s will be pretty resilient to a bit of internal rust, although the better quality the frame the more careful you have to be because there's less steel to play with in the tube walls. So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gilding
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
Just a note about those holes - they're not "drain holes" as there should not be any water in there to drain out. They are air holes to allow heated air to escape during welding/brazing. All frames should have them. My frame was designed as a conscious choice by the makers (Thorn) to have the air holes brazed over after construction, to ensure that no moisture wold get in the frame. If you have seriously treated the rust internally, and the frame was of a high enough value to justify it, when it is all stripped down now would be a great chance to plug the air holes in the main tubes, stays and fork blades. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Another option would be to seal then pressurize the frame with a nitrogen gas feed. The bottle might be a bit heavy so you could tow it on a trailer. [Some important metal structures are prevented from rusting by excluding oxygen in this manner.]
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
Interesting. I think I'd prefer to leave them unplugged to enable dry air to circulate but the air up here is never dry lately So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gilding
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?Thorn reckon, better to have no air or moisture get inside at all.
A minor concern for most bikes, but if your bike was ever likely to go through flooded creeks, like my Nomad (an expedition tourer) or many MTBs, are likely to do, it's probably of value. Frame tubes with blow holes held submerged for long enough will get water inside. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
Interesting, I always thought those little holes were there to accommodate day-to-day metal expansion and contraction. Brazing over the holes after construction sounds pretty hardcore, why not just fill your frame with that expanding foam stuff meant to fill cavities in wall? Not only would it keep moisture out, you could float your bike across that creek! A quick question about fish oil, isn't it meant as a preventative to be applied to rust-free metal? I should be removing/neutralising the rust beforehand, yes?
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
Yes. use a mild phosphoric acid (the main ingredient in many rust converters) to treat the rust, rinse with water, dry, then fish oil to prevent more rust I was going to buy a fast, stylish bike, but I looked in the mirror & thought "you're not fooling anyone, you know"
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
Well, by that principle my sealed-tube frame should float across already...... Somehow I doubt it Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
"chromed" is very different to "cro-moly"
Re: Internal frame rust - evil or benign?
I know that and wasn't talking about cro- moly tubing. Foo

Redirected from Overlords
" | You steal our children, kill millions of people, and now you want to negotiate??!! | " |
— Tom (Eight Hours)
Overlords are an alien race and the apparent architects of the Invasion of Earth. First known by fans as "Slenders" due to their resemblance to the "slenderman" and revealed in the 2nd season finale as being officially named the "Espheni", they use harnesses to command humans and skitters – presumably their enslaved or bio engineered subjects - and appear to have designed the Mechs and the Crawlies. They are seen acting in administrative roles, overseeing the work of skitters and an enslaved Karen Nadler in What Hides Beneath. In Homecoming Pope calls them "Fishheads", and in the next episode Weaver refers to them by that name, but it isn't used again for the rest of season 2.
The existence of the Overlords was first hinted at by Uncle Scott, who remarked to Tom Mason that it's unlikely the six-legged Skitters would design bipedal robots like the Mechs. Hal Mason, Tom, and Weaver are the first members of the 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment to discover the Overlords, on a scouting mission in Boston about 7 months after the attack. Tom speculates that if they are the commanders of the Skitters, they might have been staying in the safety of their Motherships up to this point, but now feel it is safe enough to move around the city.
In the season one finale, after Tom and Weaver badly damage the Mothership, an Overlord, along with Karen, intercept them. Karen reveals that the Overlords didn't expect so much resistance and that they found that interesting. They also wanted to talk. Tom and Weaver were furious that, after having killed millions of people and taken their children, they now want to negotiate. Despite this, Karen tells Tom that the Overlords can stop Ben's transition into a skitter if he comes with them. Despite Weaver's protests, Tom agrees saying that he can't let them take Ben back.
It has been confirmed that they have invaded other worlds as well leading to the skitters becoming their slaves. It seems that throughout their galatic conquests they have made other enemies, and even now they have arrived on Earth.The Overlords technology seems "organic".
Contents |
Interactions with HumansEdit
The Overlords at first held little regard for humans as evident by the invasion, and if the harnessed Karen's words are anything to go by in "What Hides Beneath" they viewed humanity as vermin to be exterminated if they crossed paths. However, by the season finale they are intrigued by Humanity's resistance; surprised that a less advanced race has been able to hinder them to such a degree. In the episode "Worlds Apart" an Overlord told Tom Mason that if humanity surrendered the Overlords would set aside special camps for humans to live in peace, this of course may have been a lie. Such camps would be analogous at best to the ghettos formed for Jews in Poland by the Nazi Germans during World War 2, or forcing Native Americans along the Trail of Tears to Indian reservations. This similarity is noted by Tom Mason in his rejection of the alien's proposal. The alien's retort is to refer to far more sudden but just as devastating events, such as the Rape of Nanking.
Overlords are tall humanoid bipeds with smooth gray skin, standing roughly twice as tall as a human and three times as tall as a skitter, though compared to a human their body is skinny and elongated. Their graceful gait indicates that they are able to move about easily in Earth gravity.
Their overall features are somewhat fleshy and blubbery, though their proportions are quite skinny so they do not appear bloated. They do not have a very pronounced neck: while their head is fairly far away from their shoulders, powerful neck muscles smoothly transition from the torso to the head. The top of the head possesses a fairly rounded bullet-shaped point. Indeed, of their facial features only the eyes are particularly prominent, with well-defined eye sockets and seemingly mammalian eyes, spaced only slightly further apart than on a human.
Otherwise, they have very weak and poorly defined chins, small and difficult to observe ears, and a poorly defined nose. They actually don't have a "nose" so much as the forehead smoothly slopes down between the eyes down to the upper lip, which in turn slopes down their poorly defined chin into their "neck". They do possess four nostril-slits, two on each side of the head, but much higher than on a human. The small nostrils are located close to the inner corner of each eye. They do seem to have a normal vertebrate mouth, though it is made clear in Worlds Apart they are not capable of speech and are instead able to speak through humans telepathically and make grunts if pain is inflicted upon them. Overall, the upper body gives the vague impression of a humanoid dolphin.
The body itself is thin and elongated, but lithe and sinewy. They seem almost unnaturally flexible and graceful, willowy but well-muscled. They seem to possess the same general body plan as a human, just with different proportions (i.e. they do not have digitigrade leg joints, like the Mechs). While nearly twice as tall as a human, they have been observed "stooping" to move around in the hallways of human buildings, without too much trouble.
The wounding of an Overlord in Molon Labe suggests that their internal physiology is vastly different from humans, far greater than their outward appearance would suggest, as Anne was apparently unable to find a way to remove the bullet or stop the bleeding.
The events of Molon Labe also seem to indicate that Overlords are deaf and mute without the use of a harnessed helper, or at the very least incapable of understanding and emulating human speech without assistance.
It is also revealed that their intelligence and mental capacity are vastly advanced meaning they do not rely on computers for data storage or processing, they store it all in their heads.In the season 2 finale, they are shown to have blades or claws that can extend from their wrists. Despite their frail appearance, Overlords are apparently very strong in terms of physicality, able to fell a Skitter with a single blow. This, however, may be more of a weapon than a naturalistic claw.
Little is known about Overlord society and beliefs, but if what they say to Tom in Worlds Apart is true, they find the notion of killing and oppressing one's own species morally disgusting. They also appear to be somewhat arrogant, thinking little of humans, and looking down on them. Overlords also apparently, by nature, a very calm species, seen when an Overlord shows little fear when Tom had a gun pointed at his head.
In Molon Labe, Karen speaks to Hal as he escorts her about how everything in the world is interconnected, and if you understand the web of connections you can make solid predictions, though there are always variables. It is unknown if this is an overlord philosophy, but with Karen insisting the original Karen is long gone, the idea may be from the overlords.
It is revealed in A More Perfect Union the Overlords have specific command sectors. The Overlord that was captured and later killed by Tom Mason was in command of all forces in "eastern North America". The exact borders of these command zones haven't been revealed.
Notable MembersEdit
It is hard to tell the overlords apart due to the lack of individual identifying features. Really, any of the following overlords could be any other. All we know for sure is we have only once seen two at the same time, so we can be sure there are at least two, and a maximum possible of four individuals seen so far on the series.
Two Commanding OverlordsEdit
Two Overlords were seen observing and/or commanding three Skitters doing what appears to be a patrol mission in Boston. It's very likely these were the first Overlords seen by the resistance; though all that is known for sure is that they are definitely the first of their kind seen by the 2nd Mass.
Overlord (What Hides Beneath)Edit
An Overlord that escorted Karen Nadler to Sonya Rankin's house to see if she had any more information on survivors within the city of Boston. After Sonya said she did not know about other survivors (despite the fact that Weaver, Tom, and Hal were in the room with her), it looked through the peephole of the apartment before departing with Karen.
In the season finale (Eight Hours), the same Overlord arrived and wanted to talk to Tom in its air ship, as it was intrigued and surprised at the resistance efforts. Tom, angered by this request, responded: "You take our children and kill millions of people now you want to negotiate?" After this exchange, Tom was informed that they wanted to talk about Ben. The Overlord then escorted Tom into its air ship as the screen faded to black.
Overlord (Worlds Apart)Edit
A captured Tom is brought before an Overlord who makes mankind an offer of "Sanctuary" in exchange for mankind's surrender. Tom calls this little better than a prison camp and the alien reveals they have studied mankind's history. Tom asks why the aliens attacked since humanity was interested in peaceful contact when they came. The Overlord then lists mankind's violent history with disgust calling mankind primitive and inherently aggressive with the invasion being the best recourse before demanding Tom take the offer. Tom refuses before attacking the Overlord with a shock stick before being subdued.
Later in the season, in Molon Labe, an overlord is taken prisoner by the 2nd Mass. A harnessed Karen, in negotiating for the overlord's release tells Tom Mason that the Overlord is the same one Tom spoke to in Worlds Apart. Tom eventually shoots this overlord when he endagers Ben's life, wounding it. Anne does her best to patch the Overlord up, and the 2nd Mass leaves it behind with Karen.
It is revealed in A More Perfect Union this Overlord survived, and began construction on an Unidentified Overlord Cannon. The Second Mass was able to infilitrate the site, given the location by the Skitter Resistance. He later arrived with Karen, watching as she tortured several of the 2nd Mass members to discover how they were able to discover its location. Tom was just about to give in when the Skitter Resistance attacked, overwhelming the Skitters loyal to him.
After mortally wounding "Red Eye", he was killed by Tom Mason using an electric weapon bashed it several times in the head.
Season 3 OverlordEdit
It has been confirmed that a new and even more sinister Overlord will be taking over the reigns of the previous Espheni Commander and serve as the Primary Antagonist for Season 3. It is unknown at this time if this Overlord will be Karren's new master.
Behind the ScenesEdit
When the new bipedal aliens which came to be called Overlords were first introduced in episode 1x8 ("What Hides Beneath), the Falling Skies official website ran video clips of them. Due to some sort of miscommunication or delay with the marketing department, these clips appear to be of an earlier concept design, possibly just placeholder CGI.
This earlier artwork depicts them being roughly as tall, but with a more bony look, covered in blocky armor, with thin rounded Grey alien heads. The final version which actually aired is much more cetacean in appearance.

It's the biggest, fiercest debate taking place across America. But it's poisoned from the get-go by a Tower of Babel predicament.
In disputes over the future of gun laws, people espousing different positions often literally don't understand each other.
"The sides are speaking different languages," says Harry Wilson, author of "Guns, Gun Control, and Elections: The Politics and Policy of Firearms."
Many of the most frequently used words and phrases in this debate mean different things to different people -- or, in some cases, don't have clear meanings to anyone. From terms like "assault weapons" to the battle between "gun control" and "gun rights," the language in the national conversation is making it tougher to find common ground.
"What language does is frame the issue in one way that includes some things and excludes others," says Deborah Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics professor and author of "The Argument Culture: Stopping America's War of Words."
It's a phenomenon that America sees all the time: "pro-life" vs. "pro-choice" in the abortion debate; "marriage equality" vs. "protecting marriage" in the battle over same-sex marriage. Those who oppose the estate tax have termed it a "death tax."
"The gun control debate is catching up to this now," says Wilson, director of the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia.
The massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, "was a game changer. It changed the political landscape overnight."
As the debate rages in Washington and throughout the country, here's a look at some of the flashpoint lingo muddying the waters:
'Gun control' vs. 'gun rights'

Tutoring is available free to all currently enrolled La Sierra University students.
Qualifications for Receiving Free Tutoring
Each student must be a currently registered LSU student during the current quarter. Our mission statement shows that we support mainly freshman and sophomore students, not graduate students. If you are a graduate student, ask your teacher or department chair whether tutors have been hired for you.
What's Offered
Tutoring is available to all undergraduate students in all levels of math. We also have tutoring available in the areas of biology, chemistry, and physics.
No Appointments Necessary
All tutoring sessions are on a walk-in basis. This means that if you need tutoring, just come to La Sierra Hall Suite 100 or call (951) 785-2453 to find out when tutoring is available for your class. Come in and get as much help as you need. When you come into the center, simply ask the person at the front desk to help you locate a tutor, or you may read the white board in the hallway to find out which room the tutor for your subject is in.
What if Tutors Are Not Available When I Am?
If tutoring is either not available in a particular class or during a time when you can meet, come by and speak with the director, Tammy Tucker.
What to Expect When You Come for Tutoring
Have your homework done prior to the tutoring appointment. Tutors are not permitted to do a student's homework.

Big Shortage For Big Country Volunteer Fire Fighters
By: Brendaliss Gonzalez
Updated: May 7, 2012
Merkel fire chief Greg Cochran remembers just how popular being a fire fighter was when he joined more than two decades ago.
"We had 25 members that were active at that time at the department and even a waiting list to join," he said.
Now they're lucky to get 20 on the list.
"We average anywhere from 16 to 18," said Cochran.
The volunteer fire department depends on people like Cochran to give up their time and be willing to go out on a moments notice.
However fewer than half of what they had just a five years ago are willing to put in the time- they've gone from the average of 25 to just 15.
"A lot of people with the economy are probably trying to hold down two jobs and some of them may feel like they don't need to volunteer," said the chief.
It's happening all over the Big Country and all over the state.
The need is becoming a burden on the volunteers they are able to get- especially after last years tough fire season.
"The need was just astronomical with the heat we had and the humidity and the temperature and all that combined and the amount of volunteers it just taxed your volunteers out," said Cochran.
For now each of the neighboring rural departments make sure to help one another out to compensate for the shortages.
The full time telephone company employee knows its a sacrifice, but he says its his way of giving back.
"The gratitude in my heart to be able to help the community because i feel like i can that's the least I can do," he said.
He wants others to see the payoff from the service as well, especially now as the new fire season begins.
Said Cochran, "We've been sweating it a lot of times to have two or three."

Why should I use a recruiter?
You are at your desk, or at home watching TV when you get a call from a recruiter who has found your contact information using the many secrets of the trade (sorry – that's one secret I intend to keep). Before you hang up the phone, remember that recruiters can hold the keys to the hidden jewels of the job market. Use them and they may just open the door to a new career opportunity. I am not saying this because I am a recruiter, because I'm not – I just work for them. What I have learned working behind the scenes is the important role a recruiter can play in a person's career path. Even if you are not looking now, you may need their help later, so this applies to those who are blissfully happy with their careers, as well as those looking for a new opportunity. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should use a recruiter. Look for Part II: What to expect from your recruiter on Thursday.
So the next time a recruiter calls you, you just might want to pick up the phone.

Great Post Evelyn. This should hopefully change the misconceptions that people have about recruiters.
Hey Peter, let's be civil here. There was something that Cora saw and felt, and maybe she jumped the gun but she's entitled to her opinion.
You don't know her from a hole in the wall, and she is quite the talented recruiter
great post - couldnt have said it any better! Thank you
Great post. Thank you Evelyn.
Nate, opinion is not the same thing as making an unfounded accusation of criminal actions. No one is entitled to make a false accusation period. Cora owes Evelyn an apology at very least. It has nothing to do with if or how talented Cora is as a recruiter. You don't feel plagiarism, if you suspect it you check before you open your mouth and make that accusation and scold someone when you don't have a leg to stand on. An attempt to damage a writers reputation by such an allegation is not jumping the gun it is idiotic and libel. That kind of action does call for a civil response. Cora can have all kinds of opinions on everything under the sun and not be called an idiot. She is not entitled to civility in this case. She was not civil or accurate in fact she was not even civil enough to call it plagiarism. she point blank accused Evelyn of stealing. Idiot!
Great message, Evelyn. Thank you for sharing. I find it refreshing to read an article that reinforces the professionalism and credibility of the recruiting industry, all the while bringing public awareness to the great benefits recruiters offer.
Sandra, please! She asked a question, stated what she believed to be true based purely on a comment that has been removed by the original poster anyways, so we can't even make a fair judgement of what we can't even see anymore. It's called whistleblowing. It might have proved to be truly founded not unfounded.
See that's the problem with the world, we are encouraged, no, SHAMED, to NOT make comments or accusations about what we might feel or thing. Think about it, you see a car with 4 male adults, and one small child in the backseat, moving slow, then fast, slow then fast, then it hastily makes a left hand turn into an abandoned for sale house you know has been uninhabited for over a year. Would I be an "idiot" for calling the police? Similar situation, it's unfounded, it seems shady based upon what I know, should I personally investigate the car license plate? Or should I, as you encourage, just go about my daily business because I don't have enough justification to call the appropriate people and let them decide.
As a side note, the above truly happened to me, and I called the police. Do I know what happened, no, but if they were truly the parents, or one of em was, I would think they would appreciate the awkwardness and the fact I called.
We, as a people, should not simply sit idly by and let popular or public opinion cause us to NOT call out what we think is wrong or unjust. As you so kindly pointed out, in this case it does not appear to be the case; however, that should not dissuade us from having that discussion.
What about the recruiters that contact you once and then you never hear from them again?
Great article, Evelyn. Thank you for sharing. I find it refreshing to read an article that supports the professionalism and credibility of the recruiting industry, all the while providing public awareness of the benefits of using a recruiter.
