Did people really want an end to socialism or just more political freedom/change?
Now what is this…
I think a big part of it was the foreign pressure (US) to switch to a more capitalist democracy. When the superpowers of the world tell you that your government and economic system is wrong, something bad is bound to happen.

Different people wanted different things. I would think that a majority people supported the revolution and wanted to break free from socialism to the extent it was going. Revolution cannot happen without the masses supporting it, like you guys say.

Yeah, and now the majority of the former USSR regret it's demise. Retrospect bias FTW.
Nobody in the GDR wanted reunification except old nazis, the bunch of irrelevant morons that made up its last parliament and a slightly bigger bunch of irrelevant morons who supported the latter. The youth was generally opposed to the protests. It was mostly disgruntled adults who had watched too much Western TV, and even those just wanted to have Western luxuries without getting rid of socialism.
To say that the majority of the population of the GDR wanted reunification or capitalism is an audacious lie.

Actually one of the main selling points of Solidarity was to turn state factories, docks, and mines with one man management into cooperatives.
Welcome to SE, don't forget to make an introductory post in our Introductions forum - Mod redhotpoker wrote: That's what they did to sell themselves to Poland's working class. Just like how the Nazis called themselves 'National Socialists' to sell themselves to Germany's working class.

I was talking about germany.
I'm reading Constantine Pleshakov's There is No Freedom Without Bread right now. Great book so far. The mainstream anti-communist narrative in the west depicts the collapse of the USSR and Eastern Europe as struggles of "good versus evil" or "capitalist freedom versus communist dictatorship", but Pleshakov points out how the situation was far more complicated than that.
It's also important to remember that socialist countries like the USSR became progressively weaker as they implemented more and more market reforms. The Kosygin reforms of 1965 made profitability a measure of economic performance, and by Gorbachev's time, privatization was happening all over the place. Quote: Maybe it's just because I'm not familiar with Polish history, but... Source?
To win a lottery and be fabulously wealthy, to become the recipient of a huge medical malpractice lawsuit settlement or award that becomes final and pays out, etc, etc.
Such are the dreams that are held out that enslave the masses to protect and defend the rights and benefits of the 1% ers and even to pay for them, the slimmest of hopes that they too and if not them perhaps their children someday may join those ranks and live the good life. The grass always appears greener on the other side, especially if a WALL and other impediments are put in your way to prevent you from reaching it. Those in the Soviet block HAD TO NOTICE that Westerners were freely allowed to enter their countries while they were denied the right to free travel. Of course they felt imprisoned, anyone would. The luxuries of life, telephones, TVs, stereos, fast cars, etc can seem very alluring when you are already accustomed to GUARANTEED HOUSING, JOB, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION, BASIC FOOD, CLOTHING. How many people today WISH and would gladly trade their ANDROID CELL PHONE, IPOD, etc for those things now?
Most Eastern Bloc people had TVs, telephones and stereos.

Well we'll let the Libyans tell us how great the trade off has been!
From Green Book Greenish Socialism to the western Illusions of Freedom and prosperity.
I think a lot of it had to do with the East's stagnating economy compared to the west, and lack of personal freedoms in the East. It was a kettle that was just about to explode.

I would definitely not call it a kettle waiting to explode. Before 1988, only a few people had any idea that any regime change is going to occur, at least not in Czechoslovakia. And Eastern Bloc economies were weaker than Western, but offered many basic services and goods for the people for free/near-free and other at a low price.
Good Afternoon to All,
I've only just today found this site, and perhaps someone here will be able to shed some light on the (very strong) rumours that circulating back in 1989 regarding the images that were screened in the West that depicted cheering crowds of 'EAST Germans', the rumour being that they were in fact WEST Germans. I suspected at the time that we weren't being told the truth about this, as I recall a couple of images of these people holding the flags of both the city of WEST Berlin, and WEST Germany. I can understand why the Western media would perpetrate and perpetuate such a lie, but is there anything on the internet that would provide information regarding this? Also, is it true that during the 1920's and 1930's there were many black people who fled - defected from - the United States of America, in response to the promise that such bigotry that existed (still exists?) in the United States was absent in the Soviet Union. Thank You
I actually would not be so surprised if many East Germans cheered on that day back then. Many people who cheered in Czechoslovakia in 1989 are now drinking bum wine under the bridge.

As the end of summer draws near and the seemingly endless supply of weekend barbecue invites slowly dissipates on my Facebook page, I can't help but shed a hickory flavored tear. The enticing sound, amazing smell, and astonishing taste of searing meats, which were marinated for two days in homemade sauces, cooked to perfection with flawless grill marks is enough to cause a foodgasm, and the sheer thought that soon these events will soon disappear is enough to make this foodie blue with sadness.
Just as I was contemplating going to Costco and buying a Fred Flintstone-sized rack of ribs and going into a barbecue induced hibernation for the cold, soulless, barbecue-lacking months that lie ahead, I received an e-mail from LivingSocial.com, an online company that delievers local deals to your inbox. Like a warm beacon of hope this e-mail shined through the impending gloomy darkness, and invited me to try a barbecue spot called Bourbon BBQ, located at 529 Goffle Rd., Wyckoff, N.J. 07481. Living Social had come through in the clutch and delivered not only a new Barbecue joint to test out but a half-off coupon for something called the Garbage Plate, which appeared to be a barbecue sampler for two.
Upon further research I found that the Garbage Plate was in fact made for two and consisted of bourbon ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, Texas smoked sausage, coleslaw, smokehouse beans, collard greens and corn bread. I immediately purchased this living social coupon and scheduled a date with Zoe for the first available day in our calendar to try this alluring dish offered by Bourbon BBQ. Their website also informed me that Bourbon BBQ is a BYOB establishment, which always makes this foodie smile, and I noticed that you can make reservations on their site as well.
As we entered Bourbon BBQ, the first thing I noticed was the tantalizing smell wafting about. I could tell right off the bat that this was not a B.S. BBQ joint due to the smell of smoke lingering in the air. Zoe and I approached the counter and spoke to the hostess who allowed us to choose any table that was available. We made our way to a table that was empty and sat down with my beer and Zoe's cider in tow.
Before our rumps could warm the seats we had just taken, our waiter appeared in front of us and handed us our menus. We explained that we had the Living Social Garbage Plate coupon and took our drink orders at this time as well. Our waiter then left the table, and returned quickly with a bottle opener and some glasses for our adult beverages. The prompt service was highly appreciated because we arrived to dinner close to 8 p.m. and were famished.
As Zoe and I discussed our hectic days over a few sips of our cocktails, we eagerly awaited our meal, which we did not have to wait long for, and that made both of our bellies smile. What exited the kitchen and landed on our table was a colossal pile of barbecue, and it was love at first sight. In addition to the food itself, the server also delivered a caddie full of homemade barbecue sauces, which he described in detail to us one by one, and a roll of paper towels. More so, before the server left he explained the Garbage Plate to us, pointing our each item of the plate, which for a first timer at Bourbon was extremely helpful.
I consider myself a sauce aficionado, so when the server explained each sauce and informed us that they were all homemade, I paid attention like a physicist listens when Stephen Hawking talks about black holes. With that said I feel obligated to not only name these sauces but also give you my first impression of them as well, the following is the list:
- Kansas City: Bourbon's take on a Kansas City style sweet Barbecue Sauce. This sauce was fantastic for a sweet Barbecue sauce which I tend to shy away from most of the time. I recommend this sauce on the Pulled Pork.
- Carolina: Bourbon's vinegar based Barbecue sauce which I found simply divine. This sauce complemented everything I put it on, instead of overwhelming the flavor of the meat. Great on the Brisket.
- Delta: This sauce blew mine and Zoe's mind. A great combination of a spicy yet sweet Barbecue Sauce with an almost three dimensional flavor. Our favorite sauce by far and we ate it on everything.
- XXX: This is Bourbon's spiciest sauce offered. Although we enjoyed this sauce, we found that the Delta had a deeper flavor with just a little less spice. I recommend this sauce on the Pulled Pork for a spicy twist.
Although the offering of specialty craft Barbecue Sauces, which you can purchase online or in house, is all well and good, let's face it, one goes to a Barbecue Restaurant for the meat not the sauce. I would be remiss if I did not discuss the Garbage Plate Sampler in detail and tell my loyal audience all about Bourbon's actual Barbecue.
Zoe and I attacked this monumental mound of mouthwatering meat as if we were at war with the plate, and employed the "divide and conquer" strategy. We started with the Pulled Pork, and shoveled a healthy helping onto our plates. We first tried these delectable slivers of swine sans Barbecue Sauce and at that moment we knew the rest of the meal was going to be utterly remarkable. The meat was so tender, chewing it felt like overkill, all I needed to do was let it linger in my mouth for a few seconds as it dissolved on my tongue. Then we decided to splash on a few drops of the different types of Barbecue Sauce and the pulled pork, in the immortal words of John Candy in "Spaceballs," went to plaid. All the sauces transformed this meat into something else, something almost entirely different but equally as tasty.
Next up was the Brisket which was piled high enough to be a meal of its own. Zoe and I once again divided the portion and dug in first without sauce and then with. This may have been the best brisket Zoe and I have ever had, and that is saying something since I like Brisket like Rex Ryan from the New York Jets likes feet. The meat was tender and succulent with just the perfect pink around the outside to remind you that it lived in a smoker for quite some time. Once again the sauces that were offered only added complexity to the already impeccable taste.
The Texas-smoked sausage reminded me of the smoked Kielbasa that I make at home. Except for Bourbon BBQ is able to get the skin to the perfect amount of crispness that I just can't seem to achieve. I was unsure just which barbecue sauce to match up with these crisp morsels of smoky goodness, so I ate them naked.
The piece de resistance of all Barbecue plates and really how I ultimately judge barbecue chefs is the ever important ribs. These behemoths were not your run of the mill miniscule baby pork ribs either, these ribs looked like they came from hogasaurus. Bourbon's ribs are the type of ribs that make most men feel inadequate if you know what I mean, and that is just the way I like it. At first bite I noticed that the meat did not need much help in separating from the bone, which is a great testament to the chef with ribs this size. I was a little underwhelmed by the flavor of the ribs during my initial bite but then I added a small amount of barbecue sauce and the rib came alive like Frankenstein's Monster. It appeared that Bourbon's Ribs were only cooked with a dry rub so as to allow the customer to choose the type of sauce they want to add at the time of consumption. The sauce complemented the rib meat effortlessly and I found myself leaving not a speck of meat left hanging on the bone.
As for the sides, the Baked Beans actually have what appeared to be pulled pork in them, which made them even better than I expected. The Cole Slaw seemed fresh and did not have that store bought chemical taste to it that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The Collard Greens tasted fantastic, as they were not too vinegary, which tends to happen in the north. The corn bread was exactly as I like it, sweet enough to be a side, but not sweet enough to be dessert. Zoe on the other hand was hoping for dessert corn bread, but she was pleased with the other sides.
Not only was the food marvelous but during our dinner our server came over several times to check on us, which is always under appreciated. Furthermore, throughout our time at this restaurant, someone who I believed to be the General Manager walked around to every table, including our own, to speak to the customers. One by one he approached every table and made sure that everything was cooked to their liking and just made some small talk. Zoe and I love small businesses and this added special touch made us feel like Bourbon BBQ truly cared about us, as individuals and not as just another customer.
Bourbon BBQ's menu is quite extensive and if our first visit is any indication of how all the other items are going to taste, I can see this foodie squandering many an hour at this establishment. Zoe and I both felt that Bourbon's amazing sampler dish can compete with any and all Barbecue joints that we have frequented in our decade together. This combined with the fact that they are right next door in Wyckoff and their prices are truly affordable, very well may have placed them number one on our BBQ list. So when the snow begins to fall and you place your cover on your grill for the last time this season, make sure to stop by Bourbon BBQ when you get the hankering for some good old fashioned BBQ.

There was a horrible review about them in the Bergen Record a couple of months ago and I was not surprised at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it but when we went with friends about 4 months ago it was horrible only 1 out of the 4 of us said "well its not too bad" another said "we should have gone to Cubbys". My boyfriend didn't care for it but ate it since he was paying for it. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes, maybe that was the problem I didn't order BBQ at a BBQ place but it was the first time in my life that this fat girl couldn't find one thing on her plate that she would eat and believe me I didn't get to be a BIG girl by being a picky eater. The country fried steak tasted like it had been fried in old rancid oil. The gray was greasy and separating on my food as I looked at it and I love greens but these were bitter for some reason. We ordered a side of mac & cheese which was just ok but I was so turned off by that point I didn't want it. I felt bad...........the place was adorable the service was awesome but the food was just not good. I hope they have turned it around and since you seemed to like it maybe they have. I won't try it again but I hate to see places that have been there a long time go out of business so hopefully they have made the needed changes.

I am sad to hear that you had a bad experience at Bourbon. Like the review said, I loved it. I will eat more from the menu and update through the comments here, but I suggest trying the BBQ at least once.

Been there a few times myself and with family. Authentic Bar-B-Que is hard to come by up north... and Mike does it right. Active members of the Fair Lawn Chamber of Commerce, Bourbon B-B-Q always supports our local events, taking part in the Annual Taste of our Town, and sponsoring numerous fund raisers. They are generous, and gracious hosts. Do your self a favor and give them a try.
7:10 pm on Thursday, August 30, 2012
My suggestion is never judge a restaurant by one visit! Even though Mike said it right, there is no excuse for bad food, a good rule in life is to always give a second chance.

After reading your review I think it's time for me to try Bourbon BBQ again. I was extremely disapointed with the food right after they re-opened, and I don't think I was the only one. Maybe they just had some initial problems and now they are up and running.
5:41 pm on Tuesday, September 4, 2012
It's hard to pass up Goffle Grill or Shortways to go to Bourbon but I will try it on my next trip down there.

Just like a gas engine... There are spark points inside the chamber, so you open the valves to let the gas in, close them to seal everything off, then press the red button! Anything in the barrel comes out real fast haha. The air/gas mix indeed has an ignition window that you have to hit. To be consistent I just use the bernzo valve that comes with those little camp-stove propane tanks to give a certain (slow) flow rate. So, for example, I just open the chamber valve and turn on the gas for six seconds, then close everything up to shoot. Thats usually right in the middle of the window unless its really cold or something.
Also, I really want a Buckmark or a 22/45 now.
I like the buckmark because there is one variant that comes with a 7.25" barrel:
I like the ruger because one variant comes with a bottom rail (for a flashlight) so I could hunt rats.
Do want.

Thanks Zeus! I refuse to believe it though. Just had a friend from high school hop on this thread to confirm and we both believe it's him...I could believe it too. The kid was such a weirdo...played a lot of pokimon in the school cafeteria.
Just for the sake of telling the story...Let's pretend that it's the same guy. They are in the cafeteria one morning playing pokimon, when he starts accusing this kid of stealing one (some) of his cards. The two start to get into it, and stand up. The other kid proceeds to punch butthurt dweller in the face, which causes him to drop to his knees right in front of the guy. In the process of dropping to his knees, he pulls down the kids pants, underwear and all, while the other guy proceeds to punch him repeatedly, and butt hurt dweller just holds onto the pants for dear life. By this time the entire cafeteria was dying laughing at them, and what it obviously looked like. Teachers broke it up soon after.
Anyways, I really like to think that it's the same guy...Back on topic. I'll post some pics of my new Ruger Mini-14 soon.

went shooting earlier and decided to try something new, some of my preconceptions, expectations, and probably biases got shaken up and turned around, very beneficial imo:
try/rent and have buddies bring like 10 different platforms/guns and run them back to back to back. very different than trying them individually over time. realized that a lot of guns that i thought i couldn't shoot well or just felt like "bad" or "cheap" guns actually shoot as well as if not better than many of the "good" guns for me. also found out im a lot better with some "good" guns that just didn't do it for me before and found out that some guns i thought i could shoot well with im actually not very good with (comparatively for myself).
also got to try a wilson combat 1911 that is one of wilson's high end models - wow. i never found a real difference between a "cheap" and "ok" or "decent" 1911, but shooting this thing... it almost felt like i was cheating
It's that time of year again.

Bought a few chip mccormick mags for my kimber and they work great. If you have a 1911 you can get them from cheaperthandirt 15 bucks for 8 rounds, and they have a fun 10 round one for 24. Now if only 45 ammo was this cheap.

MASON, W.Va. — The third round of the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League was played on Monday, June 18, at the Riverside Golf Course. Even though there was rain all around the area, the weather stayed dry the entire round. The competition heated up with only one more tournament to be played in the regular season.
The winner for the year has been determined in the 10-and-under age group. Dylan Tayengco from Point Pleasant cannot be caught and is the winner in this group. He has accumulated 20 points. This is still a real contest for second place. Both Cade Roberts of Gallipolis and Maddux Camden from Rio Grande have each obtained eight points for the season. Dylan's score of 43 on Monday was his best of the year. Maddux's score earned him the second place trophy for the week.
Bryce Tayengco, Dylan's older brother, posted a score of 48 to win the 11-12 age group on Monday. Bryce now has 20 points for the year. Jonah Hoback, who was on vacation and did not play this week, remains in second place with 10 points. Theoretically, Jonah could tie for first if he wins the tournament next week and Bryce is unable to play for some reason. Otherwise, both of the Tayengco brothers will win their age groups.
Sydney Cleland of Racine has played in only one tournament, but continues to lead the girls division in the 11-12 age group.
The 13-14 year old age group has developed into a tight race. Jared Parissi of Gallipolis won the 10 points available on Monday with a score of 48. Jared has now earned 16 points for the year. Newcomer Nathan Redman from Mason finished second on Monday to pick up eight points. Neither Jacob Hoback of Racine or Logan Sheets of Bidwell played on Monday and have accumulated 18 and 10 points, respectively.The season winner is still wide open and should be determined this coming Monday.
The 15-17 year old age boys division is another group where the winner may not be determined until the final putt is completed next Monday.
Gus Slone from Crown City shot an excellent 38 at Riverside to win the weekly first place trophy. Gus now has 28 points for the year and is leading this group by four points over Seth Jarrell of Crown City. Seth's score of 52 earned him six points for the week and a total of 24 for the year.
Second place on Monday went to Ethan Swain, also from Crown City, who shot his best score of the year with a 42. Ethan received eight points for the week and his yearly total is now 17 points.
Cuyler Mills of Crown City finished fourth on Monday and has accumulated eight points for the season. Jordan Howell of Gallipolis, Zach Morris of Vinton, and Ryan Schenkelberg of Syracuse all missed Monday's action with their point totals not changing.
The girls division in the age group had its first players on Monday. Alyssa Cremeans from Meigs County posted a 49 for the day thereby winning the available 10 points. Kylie Haislop from Crown City finished second to give her eight points for the day.
David Michael of Crown City secured the winners plaque for the 18-19 year old age group by finishing second on Monday with a score of 45. His season total of 28 points cannot be matched.
Adam Pape from Racine won 10 points for shooting the best score of the day in this group, a 42. Another newcomer, Hunter Johnson from Racine shot a 47 on Monday to gain third place and earn six points.
Andy Welch of Crown City finished fourth to bring his yearly total to 12 points. The contest for second in this age group may provide some excitement next week.

Aurora police chief: No other "person of interest"
(CBS News) Aurora police chief Daniel Oates rejected media reports that a second person of interest is associated with Friday's massacre in Colorado. He said James Holmes is the only suspect but they are interested in speaking to anyone who knows or has had contact with Holmes.
"All the evidence we have, every single indicator, is that... this is all Mr. Holmes' activity and that he wasn't particularly aided by anyone else," Oates said in an exclusive interview Sunday on "Face the Nation. "We're building a case to show that this was a deliberative process by a very intelligent man who wanted to do this."
Oates said the person brought in to be questioned on Saturday "was a casual consequence."
"The relationship was real inconsequential," he said. "[I]t's really an inconsequential matter."
Oates Also discussed the sophistication of Holmes' apartment which was rigged full of explosives. "I think it speaks volumes about his intelligence and his deliberation and his cold-bloodedness. I could not believe the pictures I saw from the robot about the way this thing was designed."
A computer was obtained from Holmes' apartment and has been handed over the FBI for analysis, which Oates said will be part of an exhaustive investigation.

As Holmes was dressed in armor similar to SWAT team members, Oates said he is "so proud" of two officers who spotted part of Holmes' costume that differs from what a SWAT team member would be wearing. "So kudos to my two cops who grabbed this guy and that sharp observation that they made immediately that led them to suspect him as being the suspect," Oates said.
The police chief also said he spent some time with some of the families who had lost loved ones and that the president's visit to Colorado Sunday is "very, very powerful."
"I can't tell you how important this visit is," Oates said. "We were so pleased to be able to tell them through our victim advocates contacting the families yesterday, that the president was coming here, and these families need that kind of contact by our elected leader, and it will be very powerful, and it will help them."
Oates, whose daughter was also attending a midnight showing of the Batman movie early Friday (but at a different theater), said this could happen to anyone or any parent across the United States. "That's the perverse things about this."

I read some where that reading a good book is like traveling through and living many different lives while still sitting in one's arm-chair. I guess what defines a good book is an entirely personal matter. The books I usually love must involve a journey of some sort: an adventure and if it happens to involve a love story as well, that's usually a plus. I can also judge a book by its cover! In fact over the years I have developed a sense for looking at a book and in a few minutes of examining the cover, tittle and content list, I am able to tell if I am taking it home or not. Cheese Bread revisited
I came across the book Saha a few years back while browsing through the cook book section at Borders. It was love at first sight. Written by Greg and Lucy Malouf this book had it all; love, a journey and food. Chef Malouf travels through Syria and Lebanon exploring the food culture and history of the levant. The photography tells the story beautifully and the writing by Lucy Malouf is smooth, unpretentious and enticing. Read the rest of this entry »

I would understand Bay deciding to not do exactly what we have already seen in movies or even the TV shows, as there be no point really. But to make them aliens is him being lazy, I say. As it be much harder to go with the darker tone originally set in the comics and/or to explore the dynamic between the turtles, Splinter and Shredder in new more darker ways.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/n...he-series.htmlThe Hangover Part III will be the last movie in the series.
Director Todd Phillips, who helmed the first two films and will return for the third, confirmed yesterday that the franchise would conclude with its third instalment.
He said in a statement: "I'm so excited to embark on another Hangover film with Bradley, Ed and Zach.
"We're going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis will all return for the third film, which is expected to begin production in September.
The combined box office success of the first two Hangover movies has made this a billion-dollar franchise.
The Hangover Part III is due for release in the US on May 24, 2013.

Sure have. I read 1-6, and up to three or four of the new era Warriors books. I grew out of it though. However it earns a special place as it is what inspired me to write, and what made me realize I think like a writer (although not to the same degree as today).
Yeah sure. Go ahead and drop me a message.
You may have to wait a little bit until I get can your poem, or whatever it may be done, because things interrupt my thought process and such. I also realized my motivation is not to write fancy words in the best prose possible, although that does matter, but... Let's just say I think the opposite of some writers...
I had an idea but it doesn't have to do with settings, it has to do with people. Is that okay?
No problem. I'm just getting out of a writer's block so I don't know how it'll turn out, but enough of that, I'll just start brainstorming. Talk to you again when it is done. Happy birthday.
You got a bow? Wow. T_T Lucky punk. Poem may be ready tomorrow... But I already owe my sister something, and she owes me something as well... lol
Okay! I usually write with intended meaning though, so I can't promise you that it'll be with you in the next few minutes. I'm going to try to have a different spin on it as well. I'll show you when it is done. Happy birthday!
Okay. ^_^ I was actually being kind of sarcastic. Or was I? Oh no... Was I?! *Gasp, GASP* "wha-" Oh, it is? Happy incoming birthday! I was wondering, as I heard that you like to read, if you want me to write anything for you? I write (or would like to) write about a lot of things. Just... romance isn't my strong suit. I say that because you like some video game characters... (As people do) Long story short, want a poem or something? If not, no problem. Happy Incoming Birthday! On a side note, I need to write something... My DA hasn't had any uploads in a while...
I don't know whether to take that as sarcasm and thus take it as a blow to any pride I have, or to take it as a compliment. Although I portray myself seriously, I am actually kind of a clown...
My apologies then. I'm not sure how acquainted you are with the news or what not. Steubenville. I was referring to this case where a woman was raped or sexually assaulted by two men, and then the men received pity from the press and so on. It bugs me quite a bit. "I'm sorry for ruffling you up. Oh no please. Don't be mad. No, no! Get away! nnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaa-" gets vacuumed into space.

Paper Cup Wind Chime
Celebrate the Chinese New Year with a harmonious wind chime. Used to ward off spirits as well provide relaxing music, wind chimes are a great decorative piece for your home. These are a lot of fun to make, but can be a bit complicated so gather your friends and have a wind chime-making party!
- 1 paper cup
- 1 pipe cleaner
- Thin string enough for 5 pieces, each 6 inches long
- 55 pony beads (you can use more if you like)
- 6 mini bells
- 2 gold plastic coins
- Small plastic container lid
- Hole punch
- Scissors
- 2 glue dots
- Pen or pencil to poke a hole with
Start by poking a hole through the bottom of your paper cup. This will now become the top of your wind chime.
Take the pipe cleaner and poke it up through the cup in the hole at the top. Make a loop with the pipe cleaner at the top of the cup and twist to secure it in place.
Place a bead about half way up the pipe cleaner from the underside.
Now, loop the bottom half of the pipe cleaner to the bead and twist it to itself.
Cut a piece of string about 6 inches long.
Tie the string to the looped pipe cleaner.
String on about six pony beads.
Now you are going to use the hole puncher to make a hole through the plastic container lid. If you don't have a plastic container lid, you can also use bottle caps or jar tops. You can also affix the string to the cap with hot glue if you're unable to punch a hole in it (an adult should handle the hot glue gun!).
Decorate the lid a bit with gold coins! Apply a glue dot to gold coins and glue them to the front and back of the lid.
String the lid to the bottom of the beads and double knot the lid in place.
It's time to add some bells to really get this wind chime going! Use your hole punch to make eight holes around the base of the cup. Each hole should be about an inch apart.
Cut four more pieces of string, each about 6 inches long. On one end of each string, double knot a mini bell. Then string about six beads to a pattern of your choice.
With the beaded end dangling, place the other end of the string through the bottom of the cup and inside one of the holes. Then string it into one of the holes next to it.
Add six more beads to the string and double knot another bell on the end. Repeat the previous two steps with the remaining three pieces of string.
It's time to decorate! Use markers, stickers or paint to personalize your wind chime. Once complete, hang it in front of a window or on a tree branch and enjoy its harmonious sound!
Here are a few chimes I made especially for Chinese New Year!
- 1 paper cup
- 1 pipe cleaner
- Thin string enough for 5 pieces, each 6 inches long
- 55 pony beads (you can use more if you like)
- 6 mini bells

Adam "MCA" Yauch, a founding member of the pioneering rap band Beastie Boys, died Friday after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, the band's publicist said.
A torrent of Twitter messages from entertainers lauded Yauch, 47, as a visionary musical artist, filmmaker and humanitarian.
"He stood for integrity as an artist. What a loss. He was a very good man," said actor Ben Stiller.
Yauch revealed in 2009 that he had a cancerous tumor in a salivary gland. As a result, the band canceled its scheduled concerts and delayed the release of an album.
"I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, like you'd feel if you have a cold, so I didn't really think it was anything," he said then in a video to fans.
Yauch, a self-taught bassist and vocalist, underwent surgery to treat the tumor that year.
The Beastie Boys, who blended punk and rap, burst on the music scene in 1986 with the album "Licensed to Ill," which included hits such as "(You Gotta) Fight for the Right (to Party"), an anthem to teen angst; "Brass Monkey" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn."
The group came together for the first time to play at Yauch's 17th birthday party, its publicist said.
Yauch was the oldest of the Beastie Boys, an only child who grew up in Brooklyn Heights, according to Current Biography magazine. The band, which also featured Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz, sold more than 40 million records and had four No.1 records.
The Beastie Boys' success in hip-hop was notable at a time when the music form was dominated by African-American performers.

It's always interesting to go back in time and hear the background behind some of well known public figures and events, and Paul Serup is an expert in the events surround Abraham Lincoln's death.He'll be at Word On The Street Sunday, and would love to meet any fellow history buffs so make sure to stop by.
Paul Serup is an independent researcher and author based in central British Columbia, Canada. Though he didn't know it at the time, the simple act of reading a book almost thirty years ago changed the direction of his life. He recounts: "After reading Charles Chiniquy's autobiography, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome in 1986 I was so fascinated and curious about what Chiniquy had said, particularly about President Lincoln's assassination that I began researching the ex-priest's life." Serup has spent 22 years researching the connection between Charles Chiniquy and President Lincoln, the result being the book Who Killed President Lincoln?
About the Book
In 1885, the former Catholic priest Charles Chiniquy, published his autobiography Fifty Years in the Church of Rome. A 2009 biography declares that he remains Canada's best-selling author of all time. Thirteen years after it was first printed, 70 editions of the book were circulating and it had been translated into at least nine languages. In it, Chiniquy made the startling claim that officials and laymen from the Catholic Church had, in fact been responsible for the murder of his very close friend, Abraham Lincoln.
Over a period of some 22 years, author and independent historical researcher Paul Serup assessed Chiniquy's claims. The result of his meticulous research makes a strong and compelling case that a Catholic plot led to the assassination of one of history's most famous heads of state. It's a story of a conspiracy that seems to be much more than 'just a theory'
With all the mystery and suspense of a classic thriller novel, Who Killed Abraham Lincoln? Is an exciting addition to the literary landscape- with the added bonus that it's an actual real-life whodunit!
This 424 page tome is meticulously researched by independent researcher and author Paul Serup and also comes with a CD of more than 3,300 pages of additional documentation. It's a must read for fans of true crime, history buffs and mystery lovers alike!

Friday, March 8, is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the April 2 Altus, Eldorado, or Olustee Regular Municipal General Elections and the Altus Special Municipal Election, Jackson County Election Board Secretary Jennifer Wilson said today.
Wilson said that persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.
Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence and persons who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply to register or to change name or address by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Friday, March 8.
Wilson said that applications postmarked after that time still will be accepted and processed, but the applications will not be approved until after April 2.
The County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an application for voter registration. The response is either a Voter Identification Card listing the new voter's precinct number and polling place location or a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application for voter registration was not approved. Wilson said that any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30 days should contact the County Election Board office.
Oklahoma Voter Registration Application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 101 N. Main St. Room 105, at all tag offices, public libraries and public assistance offices in the County. Wilson said that applications also are available on the Internet at www.elections.ok.gov.

Everywhere I turned last week there were interesting things going on in the world of sports. I just gotta comment on some of those. I just can't help myself. Please allow me!
Yeah they played a big football game last week. It's called the Super Bowl. In my opinion it is the most overblown media circus in all of sports. There is really no way that the actual game can live up to the pre-game hype. Do you get tired of all of the over-coverage that goes on for two weeks before the game? I certainly do!
Oh yeah the game. I didn't watch too much of it, but I did seem to tune in at some opportune times. I saw the TD kickoff return to start the second half. I saw a couple of the 49'ers' touchdowns that got them back in the game. And I was there for the blackout.
I was hoping that the 49'ers would win because I dislike the Ravens. San Francisco had a great chance to win, but some odd play calling inside the 10-yard line with the game on the line cost them that chance. The fourth down play was puzzling. Here you are fourth-and goal at the seven yards line with less than two minutes left in the game. The success of this one play determines the Super Bowl Champion! It writes sports' history! The 49'ers blew it!
I have always despised the fade pass. It's hard to throw, hard to catch, and hard to keep in bounds. It has to be a perfect throw and catch. With all of this to consider, the 49'ers called a form of the fade pass on this ultra-important play. It failed badly! Ravens win!
And my reason for disliking the Ravens is Ray Lewis. First of all, I think he has withheld important information pertaining to the two murders in Atlanta. He was there. He surely saw what happened. He knows who the murderers are. I am not saying he actually murdered anyone, but he knows some things he has not told authorities. And then again, maybe he was more involved than we know.
The whole NFL playoff period was dominated by Lewis. Every time I turned on the TV there was Lewis preaching and mouthing. He was sickening. I'm so glad he is retiring, but I am also very sorry that ESPN will make him a part of their broadcast teams next season. No ESPN for me!
I don't like Ray Lewis! I think he is a fraud who wants all of the attention. Narcissistic is a good word for him. Some people comically say he is the best linebacker of all time. I don't think he is even in the Top Ten all-time. Good Bye, Ray Lewis! Good riddance, Ray Lewis. Wash your face and disappear Ray Lewis! I'm not wasting any more of my column on this guy!
On another front, I am tired of turning on a college football or basketball game and hearing a female voice broadcasting the game. I am not being a sexist here, but I don't want to hear a lady broadcasting a men's game. I don't know why the networks are trying to stick this down our throats. Put men in the booth for men's games and use ladies in ladies' games. That's simple! I turn off every men's game that has a female broadcaster. Agree or disagree, that's how I feel.
And lastly, baseball is back in the news with steroid and performance enhancing drugs. A clinic in Miami called Bio-Genesis has supposedly been found to have supplied illegal drugs to a growing number of major league players. Among this group is Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, Gio Gonzalez, and many others.
Baseball doesn't need this black eye and these players surely have put their careers in danger. Rodriguez has put himself in a position to be ignored by the Hall of Fame even though he has over 600 home runs. Cabrera was suspended for 50 games last season and now his name shows up again.
I believe that if a player is found to have used illegal drugs he should be suspended for a entire season on the first occurrence. If he is found to use illegal drugs a second time he should be given a lifetime suspension. The ACLU won't like my suggestion, but then, I don't like the ACLU. Baseball has got to clean out these cheaters.
Quite a week in the sports world and I just scratched the surface. Wait till next week!

This is a great sermon from my church this past weekend (on 9-30-2012, titled Jesus' Ministry Begins). It outlines the political nature of Jesus and how he doesn't belong to any one political party. It talks about how as Christians we should vote but not to expect government to solve our problems and that we don't need to "protect" Christianity with our vote.

As a former victim of bullying, filmmaker Lee Hirsch felt compelled to produce a documentary from the perspective of the victims to raise awareness and eventually, eliminate the destructive behavior affecting so many of our nation's youth. He spent a year in schools across the country, following five students and families, trying to understand how bullying is handled within the schools. The result was his powerful and gritty film, Bully, which debuted at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.

Sorry, no tickets remain.
Aron Ralston was hiking alone in remote Utah canyons when an 800-pound boulder tumbled loose, pinning his right hand and wrist. Trapped for six days, warding off dehydration and hypothermia, his remarkable will to live led him to commit an extreme act of survival. Using a dull multi-tool, Ralston severed his forearm, rappelled a 65-foot cliff and hiked for five hours before being rescued. His life-altering story is documented in the best-selling book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, and the movie, 127 Hours. Aided by prosthetic devices that he helped design, Ralston inspires perseverance as he continues his adventurous lifestyle.

While the nation prepares for health care reform, the dental benefits market shows signs of excellent health. More than 175 million Americans, 57 percent of the population, were covered by some form of dental benefits at year-end 2010, according to the NADP Annual State of Dental Benefits Market report released in February 2012. The report indicates a significant market rebound when compared to the previous year's enrollment as the dental benefits market was valued at $38.6 billion at the close of 2010 in contrast to $36.7 at the close of 2009.
As the ACA creates new norms, offering the most appropriate complementary benefits to address potential out-of-pocket exposure for employees requires integrative strategies.
The employee benefits world will continue to get more complicated and more personal over the next year. Employers will be faced with many tough decisions as they prepare to "play or pay" in 2014, and most of 2013 will be spent modeling the financial impact of health care reform and
When the first provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) go into effect in 2014, dental benefits in the individual and small group markets will be different. With these changes come new challenges and opportunities for brokers who understand and are prepared for the following impacts of both the proposed
What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you hear the term "health care reform"? If you're like most HR or benefit professionals, your mind probably darts to the impact of the heavily debated legislation on employee medical benefits. That makes a lot of sense; after all, health
