Why I love to say ÔÇťHappy HolidaysÔÇŁ
It's almost Christmas. And do you know what that means? ItÔÇÖs time for the majority religion in our country to trot out our annual imaginary martyrdoms.
For our progressive liturgical friends, they are upset because people want to sing about the birth of Christ before the birth of Christ.
I get it. I understand the beauty and depth of waiting in our culture of instant gratification. I know that Advent gives space for the blue Christmas that lingers ┬╝ inch below our holiday cheer.
But do we have to get grumpy about it? I mean, when else do people actually want to sing hymns any more? This one time out of the year when men, women, and children are itching to break out the hymnbook and we slap their hands. IÔÇÖm kind of sad that we donÔÇÖt go Christmas caroling to our homebound friends. We wait until everyone is out of town to have any church carol sings. Plus, let's face it. It's worship planning nightmare. We have three good Advent hymns that we need to stretch out over four weeks, and countless Carols that we have one or maybe two Sundays to sing.
I will be mocked and punished in the comment section. My facebook page will fill with voices who declare that I'm not really Presbyterian. But IÔÇÖm still holding strong on this one. I refuse to be Carol the carol control-freak. I just let people sing the hymns.
For our conservative friends, they host our annual ÔÇťWar on Christmas.ÔÇŁ The soldiers in this war include people who punch Salvation Army volunteers because they say ÔÇťHappy HolidaysÔÇŁ instead of ÔÇťMerry Christmas.ÔÇŁ
ThatÔÇÖs right. Because thatÔÇÖs just what little baby Jesus would want.
IÔÇÖve been looking at the etymology of the word ÔÇťholidayÔÇŁ and itÔÇÖs beautiful. It, of course, comes from ÔÇťholy day.ÔÇŁ But itÔÇÖs more than that. It hearkens a hope of Sabbath. There is also a sense of wholeness and healing in the word. What could be a lovelier greeting?
So, as we anticipate the birth of Christ, I hope you have a chance to sing a few carols and have a very happy holiday.

Ever since it was announced that Adam Lambert was joining the cast of Glee, there has been speculation as to which character he'd play. Would he be a teacher at McKinley High? A fellow student at the New York City drama school that Kurt and Rachel attend? Well, now we know, thanks to Chris Colfer , who plays Kurt on the show.
Appearing on Live with Kelly & Michael on Wednesday, Chris revealed that Adam will play his "nemesis" on the show when it returns this fall. "I'm really excited about [it]," said the actor. "I would love to have a nemesis! I always wanted to see Kurt be mean. I know no one else does, but it'd be fun for me."
Glee returns September 26, but there is speculation that Adam's character won't appear until November.

The description of the Christmas season appears in "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon," a collection of stories and essays by Washington Irving published as a collection in 1820.
The book included five stories about English Christmas traditions that had fallen out of favor in Britain but that were revived in America by Irving's writings. Charles Dickens even credited Irving as an influence on his own views of Christmas, as reflected in "A Christmas Carol."

Is it too late to buy Priceline?
Even in the face of good news, the online travel giant is at resistance.
By Neal Rau, Stock Traders Daily.
Priceline.com's (PCLN) surging international business and new Sponsored Listings are just a few of the drivers that have pushed shares on the online travel giant over the $1,000 mark. Priceline's shares are up over 56% year-to-date, while the company's biggest rival Expedia (EXPE) is down 18% year-to-date. Is it too late to buy shares of PCLN?
Priceline beat second quarter numbers as it posted $9.70 a share, while expectations were for $9.36. It also beat on revenues, which were $1.68-billion for the quarter. Priceline said most of the gains came from a bump in hotel bookings and car rentals, which helped revenue leap 38% from a year ago.
Meanwhile, Expedia reported Q2 EPS of $0.64, $0.15 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.79. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.21 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.26 billion.
Shares of Priceline are currently trading above $1,000, making it just one of only nine U.S. companies above that level and the only one in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. Shares surpassed the $970 mark achieved on April 30, 1999, prior to the dot.com crash, and before PCLN ended up losing 97% of its value as a result. Today, only five companies in the S&P 500 have fewer shares outstanding, including another momentum stock, Chipotle Mexican Grill,(CMG).
Priceline.com traded in the low $600 dollar range a year ago, but the company has been beating Wall Street expectations, as it continues to see strength out of Europe. According to the Stock Traders Daily real-time trading report, PCLN shares are currently close to testing long-term resistance, and although all the recent news seems good, to investors interested in making money from the stock price is all that matters, and the action from resistance will be key
Priceline reported second-quarter sales last month, which were highlighted by the company's international growth. International bookings were up 44% year-over-year in the second quarter, accounting for 85% of total bookings for the company. When competitor Expedia reported second-quarter profit and revenue in July that missed analysts' estimates, the company cited weakness in Southern Europe and reduced traffic from Tripadvisor (TRIP).
Priceline is the leader in global online hotel reservations, and composed of five primary brands Booking.com, priceline.com, Agoda.com, KAYAK and rentalcars.com. The Priceline Group provides online travel services in over 180 countries and territories in Europe, North America, South America, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and Africa.
Booking.com is the number one online hotel reservation service in the world, offering over 330,000 hotels and accommodations, and is available in 41 languages. European markets continue to surge, as the European market is a fragmented landscape with less chains-hotels, and more hotels that do not have the capability to attract clients to their own websites.
Priceline has improved and simplified its advertising tools with Sponsored Listings, which allow you to highlight your hotel in front of millions of in-market shoppers at the point of purchase and shows participating hotels exactly what it costs to fill each room. Sponsored Listing program is an auction based pay-per-click program designed to drive incremental bookings.
This simple tool allows hotels to bid for prime positioning in destination searches to increase exposure to key customers in hotel search results. Users can use multiple filtering options including demographics, dates, length of stay and advance purchase windows. The system allows users to access real time reporting metrics to adjust bid strategy mid-campaign and actively manage spend by setting daily, weekly or monthly budgets within the platform.
Booking.com accounts for 47% of European online bookings while Expedia only accounts for 21%. Part of the success in Europe is due to Booking.com's use of the agency model, which works directly with independent hotels as a travel agent, while Expedia works more with the chains as more of a vendor. This model has proved to be more effective, as chains can easily create their own demand and traffic on their own websites.
Recently, Expedia acquired 61.6% equity stake in hotel search website, Trivago, to expand into the European online travel market and gain market share.
Priceline has benefited from the edge it has over competitors in Europe, however the competition will be looking to take a similar approach based on what has worked for Priceline. Shares of Priceline have almost doubled in the last two years, and are up an astonishing 1600% over the last 5 years.
Even if Priceline is able to maintain its edge over competitors, it does not mean the stock will continue to rise, as stock price matters. The stock is trading near yearly highs and it is close to testing long-term resistance. If the stock tests resistance, and remains below resistance, as defined in our real time trading report, Stock Traders Daily expects lower levels and a test of support.

(RNN) – Hydrogen is flammable.
I could go into detailed scientific analysis as to why (one electron!), but rather than explain that, I'll just say hydrogen is flammable because hydrogen is flammable.
The world learned this in spectacular fashion May 6, 1937, when the Hindenburg burst into flames in New Jersey. There were almost 100 people on board and nearly two-thirds of them lived. That's right – lived. Thirty-six people died, including one person who was on the ground.
It's hard to imagine how anyone could have lived through the disaster, but it has proven even more difficult to determine why there was a disaster in the first place. MythBusters dedicated an episode to it, and they still couldn't figure it out. They had some awesome results, though.
Here are some of the events of note that happened between May 6-12.
I'll get the John Wayne stuff out of the way early. Denver Pyle was born May 11, 1920. Pyle is most known for his appearances on The Andy Griffith Show as Briscoe Darling and as Uncle Jesse on The Dukes of Hazzard, but he also appeared with The Duke in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Alamo.
Katherine Hepburn appeared with John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn and was born May 12, 1907. It was a movie that didn't really need to be made and can be watched in its entirety on YouTube. It's a sequel to True Grit and not nearly as good, but it's not as terrible as most reviews make it out to be. It has a gatling gun, a wagon load of nitroglycerine and self-righteous judgment of drunkards. It's fun for the whole family.
Chang and Eng Bunker were born May 11, 1811. They were conjoined twins who earned the condition its moniker of Siamese Twins. Their fused liver is on display at the Mutter Museum. Had they been born today, they could have been separated. They did a pretty good joined together, though, because one fathered 10 children and the other fathered 11.
Orson Welles (1915), Willie Mays (1931) and George Clooney (1961) were all born May 6. Jefferson Davis' wife, Varina, (1826) and Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840) were born May 7. Harry Truman was born May 8, 1884, America's sweetheart Missy Franklin was born May 10, 1995, and Salvadore Dali was born May 11, 1904.
Last week was full of Looney Tunes stuff, so here's a few more. Arthur Q. Bryan was born May 8, 1899, and Bob Clampett was born the same day in 1913. Bryan was the original voice of Elmer Fudd and the character was done away with for more than a decade after Bryan died in 1959. Clampett directed cartoons for Warner Bros. and was the first person to animate Daffy Duck. He also created Tweety.
Another Looney Tunes director, Arthur Davis, died May 9, 2000. Davis took over Clampett's unit, but didn't last long as a director due to budget problems.
Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum died May 6, 1919. His birthday is next week – May 15, 1856. Seattle Slew died May 7, 2002.
Minnesota became a state May 11, 1858. I don't know much about Minnesota other than the Mississippi River starts there and it's full of lakes. Its claim to statehood seems a little flimsy to me, but I have no reason to kick it out, so I guess it can stay.
The 27th Amendment was ratified May 7, 1992, except that it wasn't. It was actually ratified May 5, 1992, but nobody knew it because when Kentucky ratified it June 27, 1792, nobody bothered to count it. The amendment limits when Congress can give itself a raise and it sat in limbo for 200 years. It was the second amendment ever proposed (before the entire Bill of Rights) and is so far the last amendment to be ratified.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony debuted May 7, 1824. It is notable for its inclusion of the Ode de Joy in the fourth movement, but it is the second movement for which it is most recognized.
Rock Around the Clock was the first rock and roll song to top the Billboard chart and was released May 10, 1954, the Eiffel Tower opened May 6, 1889, radio was first demonstrated publicly May 7, 1895, the first Westminster Kennel Club dog show was held May 8, 1877, smallpox was certified as eradicated May 8, 1980, and the Incredible Hulk was first published May 10, 1962.
Roger Bannister was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes May 6, 1954, which he did by about a half a second. Today the record for the mile is held by Morocco's Hicham El Geurrouj at 3:43.13.
The Soviet Union announced it would boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics on May 8, 1984. This will probably pop up again in July, but the U.S. dominated the medal table without the communist bloc countries in attendance.
Jim Gentile became the first player to hit a grand slam in consecutive innings May 9, 1961 – in the first and second innings off different pitchers. The only player to hit a grand slam in the same inning is Fernando Tatis, who did it April 23, 1999.
Charleston, SC, was captured by the British on May 12, 1780, and dealt a huge blow to the Continental Army. However, the loss only increased support for the war in the Southern colonies. The Mel Gibson movie The Patriot is centered around the aftermath of the fall of Charleston. It's a good movie, but not exactly historically accurate.
The RMS Lusitania was suck by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915. More than 1,100 people died and anti-German sentiment became stronger in the buildup of World War I.
The Battle of the Coral Sea was fought May 7-8, 1942. It marked the first time opposing aircraft carriers had engaged each other, and the first naval battle where the ships involved never saw each other. The U.S. and Japanese forces each lost an aircraft carrier and a destroyer, but Japan suffered more heavy damage to its surviving ships. The battle was a strategic victory for the Allies and set the stage for a bigger victory at Midway a month later.
Three years later, Germany formally surrendered to the Allies on May 8, 1945, in what is known as Victory in Europe Day.
International No Diet Day is May 6. If you're like me, you celebrate this every day. But Monday you actually have a reason to eat an entire pizza by yourself, so do it.
Sunday is Mother's Day.

This means that the distance of the seat from the floor is adjustable so that the patient, if capable, may use their legs to self propel. The breaks are easy to apply for the patient, due to the push to lock, as opposed to the standard pulling motion generally need to apply the breaks. Elevating leg rests provide added comfort, with an easy button to extend the foot plate for precise comfort. The arm rests are padded and have a variety of uses. As seen in the picture they are lower in the front to allow the wheelchair to tuck under a table. The arm rests may also be switched around so that the taller portion is in the front so that the patient will have a higher platform to push off from when exiting the chair. Lastly, the arm rests may be removed all together to aid in the transfer of the patient to and from the wheelchair.

The Report
Uncovering the real stories behind the news. Simon Cox and fellow reporters delve beneath the…
Listen now 30 mins
England has witnessed its worst rioting for a generation this month. The majority have been shocked by scenes of people, some as young as 11, looting high street shops with seemingly no fear of being caught by the police or of any punishment that could be handed out by the courts.
The violence started in Tottenham, North London, where what started out as a peaceful protest over the shooting of 29 year old Mark Duggan, spiralled out of control. Two days after Mr Duggan had been killed by armed officers, his friends and family gathered outside Tottenham police station asking for more information on the circumstances surrounding his death. Five hours later, trouble ensued.
Police cars were set on fire; shops were destroyed along the length and breadth of Tottenham High Road; and families were forced to flee their homes as the flames spread. Later that night, just a mile or so away in Tottenham Hale, the looting began.
The Report investigates what happened on that fateful Saturday - August 6th 2011 - in Tottenham and asks why the situation grew so violent. Wesley Stephenson speaks with people who were on Tottenham High Road when the violence broke out. He reveals deep-seated anger at the police within some sections of the community and hears claims that the police response was not robust enough.

Autocad user here trying to get to grips with Inventor..
My problem is when creating dowels in my models they show up the same as normal drilled holes in the hole chart.
I know I can create a symbol to drop over them (have done this for now) but its the holechart that I really need help with. We make parts with many different hole types and trying to sort dowel holes from drill holes is very time consuming and most importantly leaves room for error which can be very costly in our business (machine tool design & manufacture).
Anybody know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance
probably not the best solution but one off the top of my head - you could simply extrude the holes for dowels and use the hole command for drilled holes.
Only problem (probably a large problem) is no hole table will be created for dowels.
Thanks for your reply Rob, I dont think that will really help with our hole table description problem, oh well back to manual editing .
Are your dowel holes the same size as the drilled holes? Only if they're the same nominal size as other holes will they roll up together. Can you post a sample drawing that illustrates the problem? I won't suggest that there isn't a lot of room for improvement in Inventor hole charts, but your problem might still be solvable.

Open topic - Jim Hendry's track record
I had the chance today to look through the first round draft record of the Cubs since Hendry came aboard in 1995. I've expressed my opinion on Hendry's horrible record for a while now, and I am composing an article that looks deeper at the players the Cubs picked and those they overlooked.
But before I do, I thought I'd just ask you all - how do you think Hendry has done? Remember, he was director of the farm system before he became GM, so one way or another he's had his hands on the development of every Cub player since 1995, either through choosing the draft pick, or contributing strong advice to that choice, or hiring the guys who'd train them while also devising the organizational strategy toward development.
So, how has he done? I'll preface the topic by saying that I think he's done absolutely, inexcusably horrible.
Trib Cubs focused on "now".
Suggestion Kurt! Why focus on this guy's sad effort? Look at programs where the GM does the complete job. Studying the efforts of the Red Sox, Rays or Twins over the past five seasons will show how to get it done. These programs are the gold standard. Let's look to the new Cub ownership for the long term. Jim's never been a party to longtime excellence.
Sure, but being focused on
Sure, but being focused on NOW doesn't mean you stop sending out scouts to all the top colleges and high schools, and it doesn't mean you don't participate in the drafting and development of players. I can understand not having the patience to wait for some of those players to be ready, but there hasn't exactly been an issue of overcrowded talent at Iowa, either.

Shield of Chivalry
From EastKingdomWiki
The Shield of Chivalry was donated (as I recall by one of Master Feral's squires who had left the kingdom) to be awarded to a combattant for conspicuous and exceptional chivalry and courtesy at Crown Tourney. It is a white shield, with a (rather unfortunate) design of a blue-and-white striped "kitty-cat" style tiger holding a sword over its body with its tail. --Steffan ap Kennydd 02:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Heinz introduces larger, easier-to-use package, plus makes health-related improvements to its products.
Now here is an innovation the world has been waiting for: a new ketchup packet that's less messy and easier to open.
Not being ketchup eaters, we didn't realize immediately how important this is. But if you think that people were happy with the old flat ketchup packets, just check Facebook for all the groups that have sprung up in support of better (and more) ketchup packets.
"The packet has long been the bane of our consumers," Dave Ciesinski, vice president of Heinz Ketchup, told The Associated Press. "The biggest complaint is there is no way to dip and eat it on the go."
Prices begin to make up some lost ground, and sellers are acknowledging the long road back to 'normal.'
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
The good news about housing is that prices aren't as awful as they were.
Prices are rising and, as of November, the latest data available, stand where they were in September 2003, as the real estate boom was taking off. The Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index released last week reports that in four cities -- Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco -- month-to-month prices have risen over six straight months or more.
Michelle Meyer, a Barclays Capital economist, told Bloomberg, "We're seeing what looks to be a bottoming out in prices."
Great, just four more years of loss to make up and we'll be back to square one.
Consumer Reports tastes 37 ground coffee blends and isn't overwhelmed with the results.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
You may have a hard time finding a standout cup of coffee.
None of the 37 caffeinated and decaffeinated ground coffee blends tested by Consumer Reports' coffee experts earned an "excellent" or "very good" rating.
However, that's not to say there aren't any "good" cups of coffee.
Trent's friend says she eschews frugality because she 'wants to have a life.'
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine about some of the things I write about here at The Simple Dollar. Even though she's struggling with some serious debt issues, she told me flatly that she didn't want to take most of the advice given on The Simple Dollar. When I asked her why, she breathed in deeply and told me the following (paraphrased):
I don't want to be a "frugal" person. I don't want to be the person who is no fun because I'm always chasing every dime and I'm always vetoing the fun things to do. I don't want to be the person who leaves out cheap toilet paper for guests. I don't want to just sit at home every night cackling as I count my pennies. I want to have a life.
The restaurant chain again uses Super Bowl ads to launch its hugely successful Grand Slam breakfast giveaway. With video reports.
Ready for a Super Bowl instant replay?
Denny's, which practically shut down the Internet when it offered a free Grand Slam breakfast during its Super Bowl commercials last year, is doing it again. This time, you don't even have to watch the game to get the details.
The free breakfast will be 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday. Anyone who shows up at a participating location gets a free Original Grand Slam, which is two eggs, two slices of bacon, two pieces of sausage and two pancakes. You can take a brisk walk later.
Slumping hotels are offering guests freebies and discounted rooms.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Romantics on a budget can get some love this year from the lodging industry -- if you don't mind a little rain or long plane rides.
Travel has yet to pick up from its 2009 slump, and properties are trying to convince consumers to book a quick Valentine's Day getaway. While holding the line on room prices, some hotels are offering free extras such as sparkling wine, spa credits and candlelit dinners. Others are reducing room rates by as much as half.
The average salary cost per pound of the Saints' starting defensive line and other fun facts.
How much has the price of Super Bowl tickets appreciated since that very first one (Packers vs. Chiefs) back in 1967? If you guessed 22,225%, you're right. In case you're curious, that's a compound annualized growth rate of 13.4%.
- Bing: Super Bowl history
Yes, we've been sucked into the hype that surrounds the big game (even though our beloved six-time world champion Steelers are sitting this one out). A fun article at CBS MoneyWatch helped pull us back in. "Super Bowl XLI: Adding up the numbers" examines all sorts of interesting stats.
Here we'll focus on the personal-finance numbers from that post:
New Coke Mini can cost a lot more than a regular-size can. Still, maybe having the option of a smaller size is progress.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is outraged. The new 7.5-ounce Coke Mini is selling for 50% to 140% more per ounce than the regular 12-ounce cans.
"Coke to Fleece America by Charging More for Less," trumpets the CSPI, with a subhead reading "$8.50 a gallon for small cans of water & high fructose corn syrup?"
Umm, is $4.50 a gallon for larger cans of water and high-fructose corn syrup somehow a good deal?

As of Monday, November 14, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals are replacing a manager who's third on the career victory list with a man who'll be writing his first lineup card on opening day.
Mike Matheny, a former catcher with the Cardinals who had been a minor league instructor, will be introduced as Tony La Russa's successor at a news conference Monday.
"I think he's going to be a great leader," Jim Edmonds, a teammate of Matheny's with the Cardinals, said Sunday night in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "If he goes out there and does what he's capable of doing and they put the players around him, he could be the manager for the next 20 years."
The 41-year-old Matheny played for the Cardinals from 2000-04, won three of his four Gold Gloves and was part of three postseason efforts including a World Series. He became a team leader playing for La Russa, who retired just days after leading the team to his second World Series title in 16 seasons.
Matheny's playing career blossomed after he signed a one-year free-agent deal to be the backup catcher in St. Louis. Though a career .239 hitter, Matheny did enough defensively to earn a starting job.
Matheny was one of six men the Cardinals interviewed to replace La Russa.
They also talked to Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, longtime Cardinals third-base coach Jose Oquendo, former Boston manager Terry Francona, Triple-A manager Chris Maloney, and Chicago White Sox coach Joe McEwing.
General manager John Mozeliak declined to comment on the hire aside from a one-word text to The Associated Press: "Tomorrow." La Russa did not respond to telephone and text messages.
Francona was the only candidate who had major league managing experience. He left the Red Sox after the team collapsed in September.
Oquendo coached for La Russa the last dozen years after playing the final decade of his career with the Cardinals and has had a handful of interviews for managing openings.
The Cardinals received permission to interview Sandberg, manager of the Phillies' Triple-A team.
Former Cardinals outfielder Chris Duncan, who played for La Russa and is on local sports talk radio, thought the Cardinals would go with Francona because it gave them the best chance to retain momentum from their unlikely World Series run. The Cardinals won the NL wild card on the final day of the season and were underdogs against the Phillies, Brewers and Rangers, but have a solid returning cast with or without free agent Albert Pujols in the fold.
"I think Matheny will be a great manager, given time," Duncan said. "He lacks managing experience, but it shows a lot about his character that the Cardinals hired him."
Matheny was with the Giants when his career was ended by concussions in 2006.
"He's a great leader, and an even better person," Edmonds said. "I think this is great. There's nobody that's going to work any harder than Mike."
Matheny's coaching staff could include some familiar names.
Pitching coach Dave Duncan, who was La Russa's right hand all 33 seasons, has one year remaining on his contract. The Cardinals have considered promoting Maloney in recent years, and Oquendo also could stay.

The City of Glendale wants to reach into its pocket to guarantee at least one more season of NHL hockey in Arizona.
City council is set to vote on a proposal on Tuesday to renew the existing contract with the NHL for another year and cover up to $25 million in potential losses.
"We are going to renew the contract with the NHL and put $25 million aside," said Glendale city councillor Phil Lieberman. "There is already $20 million in our budget and we have to come up with another $5 million. The $20 million will be up for vote and if they use that up then another $5 million. So we will duplicate what we did last year.
"I think it's a good deal that allows us to find a better solution. We do not have a signed contract or agreement with (potential suitor Matthew) Hulsizer," added Lieberman. "I think it may pass 7-0 or 6-1, all of us want to buy more time but I don't know if we will find someone else."
The Goldwater Institute says it has to identify the source of the $25 million commitment by Glendale before it can determine whether to sue the city over this proposal.
Deputy NHL commissioner Bill Daly is hoping Tuesday's vote will help solidity the situation in the desert but remains patient.
"We certainly hope the that Tuesday's City Council meeting will end any speculation on the Coyotes' future in Glendale," said Daly. "Obviously, we want to wait until Tuesday night to determine what's next. One step at a time.
"As we have for the past two-plus years, we have been working very closely with the City of Glendale to do everything possible to ensure the Coyotes' future in Glendale," added Daly. "At the City's request, we have agreed to pursue another one-year interim arrangement while we jointly pursue a long-term ownership solution. We remain confident that one exists, and we intend to continue to pursue it."
Lieberman did not sound optimistic that a deal with Hulsizer can be worked out.
"I don't think we can finance Hulsizer. We voted on this on Dec. 14th, this is five months later," said Lieberman. "I don't think the bonding companies want this deal. I have not been able to dig up financial records on Hulsizer, try to find them."
However, he did bring up a familair name when it comes to prospective buyers for NHL franchises.
"I would be personally interested in seeing if we could do a deal with (Research in Motion president Jim) Balsillie," added Lieberman. "I think the best thing we could do is to get him to buy it and keep it here for 10 years and then I don't give a damn what he does with it."

60g 4 x 36 Blue Planer Belt - QTY:1 - 8UXZ2
Big furniture factories have been abrasively planning lumber for years! The swirly grain patterns of highly figured woods like curly maple suffer from tearout problems that are eliminated when the chips are really just sawdust. But you couldn't use just any abrasive or you would be changing belts every other board. Alumina-Zirconia is just two steps below diamond in hardness so it really stands up to the abuse. These are only available in coarse grits and are designed specifically for maximum stock removal and abrasive life. Made in Germany.

Vermont Yankee officials say the nuclear plant will go forward with a scheduled refueling this spring, which could end speculation the owners are planning to close the plant voluntarily.
The plant shuts down about every 18 months to install fresh nuclear fuel rods which power the plant's boiling water reactor. The process takes several weeks and costs tens of millions of dollars.
A recent Wall Street financial analysis suggested Entergy was unlikely to make that investment and might be inclined to close the plant due to low profits and ongoing legal battles. But Vermont Business Magazine reports Wednesday that the refueling is set to take place.

A brand new chair stolen from what used to be Park Furniture sits abandoned in the back parking lot likely too heavy to toss over a barbed wire fence.Detroit Police spent Thursday morning guarding the building after a series of break-ins from a multitude of people who allegedly lost money when the store shut down."She spent, I think it was $150, $200 on a dining room table. They never delivered it to our house," one man said.He claimed a few months ago his mother was ripped off, but Wednesday he got an interesting call."Said, 'Do you need some furniture?' I said, 'Yeah, I need some furniture. How much?' And he said, 'Half off, brand new couches, beds, mattresses. Get up here.' I said, 'I'm on the way.'""They found out the store's empty, and I heard there's no alarm and stuff in there," said Sunny Chong, who owns a nearby furniture store."I'm mad. I want my table or either I want my money. That's all," said Kim Hollis, who claims she lost her down payment at Park Furniture.Park Furniture was owned by Rick Berman. Fox 2 did some digging and before that the store was Furniture Express owned by Rick's brother Bob Berman, who now runs a furniture store in Livonia.No one answered the door at Rick Berman's home in West Bloomfield. My calls to his house weren't returned either.We went to another Berman owned furniture store in Farmington Hills where the owner claimed not to know anything about his brother's affairs."I'm a new business here and I was hoping you were going to do a good story on me, not ask me questions about somebody," he said.After the interview, Fox 2 was contacted by another member of the Berman family who said Rick Berman went to California seeking treatment for his wife, who is battling cancer. He said the store was foreclosed by Comerica Bank, but customers who paid in full should contact Chase Bank, which now owns the furniture.Police told me the bank plans to come back and board up all of the windows to keep people out.

There are over eight miles of hiking/biking trails in Hunting Island State Park. Most of them are easy walks/rides along the lagoon or out into the marsh. There is an intermediate trail that goes through the maritime forest and one that is a bit more difficult - the Diamondback Rattlesnake Trail. (approximately 2.25 miles long) which has surprisingly steep hills for the area.
Other than the Diamondback Rattlesnake Trail., which has been left in its natural state, all of the trails have been paved with a mixture of compacted crushed shell and sand to make the trails accessible to all.
The cost of resurfacing the trails was covered by a grant of $111,000 awarded to Friends by Beaufort County Council for the improvement of the park's trail system,certain trails compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A request by the park for a matching Federal grant of $100,000 was approved by the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (SCPRT). The grant garnered final approval in the fall of 2008, and the trails expansion took less than one year to complete. The timing was perfect for our First Annual 5K Walk/Run event at the 150th Lighthouse Celebration October 2009.
These improvements were augmented by the installation of trail signposts in time to mark the June 7th celebration of National Trails Day, sponsored by the American Hiking Society. Spearheaded by the Friends of Hunting Island State Park, the project included color-coded signage indicating the names of the trails, arrows for directions and mileage points along the way. With names like Scenic Overlook, Diamondback and Lighthouse, the wooded and waterside trails allow visitors access to a rare Maritime forest and beach where wildlife and semi-tropical plants abound. The signage project began in 2007 ago when Friends volunteers began mapping the trails using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Color coded trail maps are available at the Nature Center, the Visitors Center, The store at the campground and on-line here.
We need only two simple things to provide the services and projects you see described on this website; your participation and your tax-deductible membership fees. For one $40 membership contribution, you and your family can join our Friends organization for one year. All members are encouraged to participate in any of our on-going projects.

0-16 bad for the NFL?

Posted 29 December 2008 - 08:45 PM
Saw this on another msg bd, the question being "Is Lions going 0-16 bad for the NFL" ?
Posted 29 December 2008 - 09:34 PM
I'd say that 50% of the NFL teams would say NO. Expeciality the 50% that played the Lions.
Posted 30 December 2008 - 02:54 AM
I don't see why it's a bad thing. Wins are never a given in today's NFL.
Posted 30 December 2008 - 08:13 PM
The thing that won't be remembered about this 0-16 team is that they had comfortable leads in several of their games and nearly won a bunch too. We went down 17-3 to them during one point in our game.
Posted 30 December 2008 - 11:30 PM
with the salary cap no, 0-16 just means that the Lions have been mismanaged to hell, and that's why they are where they are.
Posted 30 December 2008 - 11:57 PM
Well since Detroit is a ghost town anyways I would say no.
Posted 31 December 2008 - 03:42 AM
Could be worst, I'm sure the NFL hates not having a team in LA more.
Posted 03 January 2009 - 02:03 AM
Could be worst, I'm sure the NFL hates not having a team in LA more.
Could be worse if one of there "large" market babies went 0-16
Posted 03 January 2009 - 12:31 PM
Why is there a team in Detroit anyway?

What's more fun than a sleepover at Gramma's house? For this young elephant narrator, nothing beats the tea parties, messy artwork, and thunderstorm-watching fun to be had at her grandmother's house. Lively, poetic language elevates this heartwarming tale of family and fun.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The newly formed Department of Veterans Affairs has an ambitious goal: contact every veteran living in South Dakota.
Secretary Larry Zimmerman says "Operation Reach All Veterans" should take a year. He says there may be Vietnam veterans that have heart conditions or cancer that agent orange had caused and they may not know that. He says that's what the Department is doing, letting eveybody know what's available.
Zimmerman estimates there are 75,000 veterans in South Dakota.
He says they and their family may not be aware of the benefits and services that are due them.
Zimmerman says he personally will call ten veterans a week this year.
