Useful Resources
Being Wary of Debris in Floods
There are a lot of areas that can seem fairly harmless when there's no inclement weather, but which can become a veritable obstacle course when there is a heavy storm and it's often a good idea to consider the general expected flood zone and how various pieces of debris might enter into the equation. Although it might seem like the flooding itself isn't that bad or that someone could make their way through a particular area without a lot of hassle, it's still possible that floating debris could get in the way and pose a danger during a flood.
Energy Efficient Heating
Making a home a specific temperature is something that many people consider to be one of the more difficult or costly options of running a house and this is often why people will consider installing radiant floor heating as this method of heating a space is often considered to be one of the most energy efficient methods which will also just happen to heat a very large room very well overall. The fact that radiant heating not only heats a space very evenly, but also provides an energy efficient method of heating is a hugely valuable combination.
Beach Style Homes
Usually, small improvements over the years results in nothing really matching in the house even if it all looks good. There are a lot of beautiful options for home design when a person decides to decorate in a beach style and there are even a few different styles that can be used such as a Caribbean style that has a lot of vivid blues in it or a Mexican influenced beach style that offers a Travertine floor design and stone carvings that might look great with other Spanish influenced designs. One of the neat things about a beach influenced design is that it can be combined with various styles that are very like a beach style for great decorative effect.
New Lighting Options Easier to Understand
There is an effort to make the array of lighting options that the average person would see on the store shelf a lot easier to understand and this has mean some new labels for the light bulbs that people will see on the store shelves at their local store. Since there are new lighting standards that are scheduled to take effect, it would appear that there are also some new energy descriptions that will be applied to the boxes that house the new bulbs. Proponents of the new bulbs have suggested the will save a lot of money per year.
Working with Wood Defects
There are some amazing things that can be done with wood that is meant for furniture and there are a lot of considerations for a person who must work with live edge lumber that will eventually be turned into a type of furniture. For example, furniture makers will often want to have a very smooth piece of wood available but for some reason it has become rather common for some furniture makers to include a number of visual defects in the wood that they use so the style now will include things like knots and other imperfections that give the piece character.
Beginnings of Osmosis for Humans
One of the interesting developments in the middle of the eighteenth century was the observation of the process of osmosis by a scientist who witnessed this process in a laboratory. One of the interesting things about this process is that it was only witnessed inside a laboratory setting for the next two centuries and that the advent of the reverse osmosis pressure tank did not make an appearance until the twentieth century. It was not until the late 1940s that researchers at the University of California produced a measurable level of desalination through research and experimentation.
Antibiotics Not Good for Viruses
One thing that many people don't realize about antibiotics is the fact that they don't actually work to cure viruses and that they're only good for curing infections. This means that influenza, which is a virus, is not impacted by antibiotics and must simply be survived by the person who has caught the virus. There are some interesting things that people have started to do to reduce the incidence of viruses and those include using antimicrobial paint on the walls and also obtaining a flu shot vaccination each year before flu season officially ramps up for the season.
Using Treated Wood
There are often reasons that a company or home builder might want to use treated wood in a project and there are some fairly noxious chemicals that are used in some circumstances to ensure that the exotic wood will not be eaten by nearby termites or impacted by some other type of insect. Regulations suggest that treated wood must be cared for and built under very specific guidelines because it's not a good idea to allow treated wood to come into contact with natural wood. Building codes also require that treated wood is not placed on the ground as part of a structure.
Taking Care of Furnishings in the Home
Some items in and around the home require more care than a simple bottle of furniture wax and some glass cleaner and knowing how to take care of exotic items in the home can ensure that a homeowner isn't rushing out to buy replacements every few years for items that might be expensive or difficult to find on short notice. While things like antique pottery should always be cleaned with non-corrosive cleaning agents and handled with gloves, items like iron doors that grace the interior of a home should be kept free of humidity and water since rusting is possible in extreme conditions.
Varieties of Window Shades
Beyond the style benefits of window shades, this decorative element can provide any level of privacy a homeowner would want from heavy duty security to casual protection. The great thing about window shades is that they can not only showcase a particular style or manner of decoration such as English country or 20th century modern, but they can also serve as items for security and protection from things like extreme sun or bright weather. Window shades are a multifaceted item for the home where function meets beautiful design. Cloth or vinyl, motorized or hand-cranked, window shades come in any style or color imaginable.
Design Custom Sports Wall Padding
Wall padding is important in a gym especially during certain sporting events. Protect your athletes with not only the safest Wall Pads around, but some of the coolest designed ones as well. While your audience and athletes will be in awe of the design of your new wall and protective padding, they will also have no question that the pads they may brush against will not fail. It is important to only use the best Wall Padding, padding that will not cripple after being hit once, or even twice, but padding that will last you for years to come even in the most active gym.
Construction Litigation
Today's legal climate requires flexibility in the approach to problem solving, and these Denver Construction Defect Litigation attorneys are particularly sensitive to the end result and the cost necessary to achieve it. They provide their clients with advice and counseling regarding the best methods to avoid litigation in the first place. They also provide legal services to wide variety of clients, from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. These construction attorneys also provide advice and assistance to companies to establish basic lien compliance procedures, review and/or filing of necessary documentation and timely handling of litigation when necessary.
New Home Construction
When building the home of your dreams, you want to pick the right options that will help keep your home secure and safe. Choosing double-pane windows will help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Choosing the right security door for your front or back door will keep your family safe. You do not want to take just any iron doors, you want something that will last and improve the value of your home. You should choose the wrought iron doors that can be customized to your exact specifications.
Antique Wood Furniture
Antique wood is simply aged wood that has been reclaimed from old barns, mills and factories and then re-milled into new planks for current uses. To qualify as "antique", the wood must be at least 150 years old. One company uses antique wood for all of its custom made dining tables. It is appealing for several reasons. Being a recycled product, it qualifies as a "green" material, it has a rustic appearance due to its natural nail, insect holes and small stress fractures. It is structurally sound but highly aesthetic with a rich color tone developed over a long period of time.
Dead Wooding
Trees that are located in wooded areas are usually considered and assessed as lower risk but such assessments would need to consider the amount of visitors. Usually, trees adjacent to the footpaths and access roads are considered for deadwood removal. Commerce MI tree removal service will explain one reason for dead wooding is amenity value. A tree with a large amount of dead throughout the crown looks more aesthetically pleasing with the deadwood removed making your yard and home look better. Commerce MI tree service will explain that dead wooding can be carried out most of the year although preferably not when the tree is coming into leaf.
Property Management Responsibility
There are many facets to Orange County CA apartment property management, including managing the accounts and finances of the real estate properties, and participating in or initiating litigation with tenants, contractors and insurance agencies. Litigation is at times considered a separate function, set aside for trained attorneys. Although an Orange County CA property management employee will be responsible for this in his/her job description, there may be an attorney working under a property manager. Special attention is given to landlord/tenant law and most commonly evictions, non-payment, harassment, reduction of pre-arranged services, and public nuisance are legal subjects that gain the most amount of attention from property managers.
Lawn Aeration and De-Thatching
With San Antonio TX landscaping organic turf care practices, aeration and de-thatching can quickly become obsolete and unnecessary activities making lawn care easy. The populations of microbes, earthworms, and other beneficial organisms that thrive in a healthy soil will decompose thatch and clippings faster than they can be produced. That digested organic matter plus the recycled bodies of the bacteria themselves create humus which expands and contracts within the soil by the varying levels of moisture content, creating air and water passages, relaxing soil compaction and improving the crumb structure of the soil. Earthworms that thrive on organic matter dig deep and extensive tunnels that air and water can travel through.
The Koi Pond
Winter is upon us with the days growing shorter and colder and you will need less watergarden supplies. This is the time to care for the Koi pond during the winter months ahead. As the water temperature drops the metabolism of the Koi starts slowing down and you will need less Koi food. It is important to remove plants before they die and release toxins into the water and deplete oxygen levels. The less the plant surface area on the water, the easier it is to keep the leaves cleaned out of the pond. For more information visit the website.

For many tattoos represent freedom of expression.
In this Healthy living segment, I'll show you help available for those experiencing tattoo regret.
About 50 percent of those who get tattoos later regret them. Laser tattoo removal is on the rise, especially for people like Ryan Dale who take the ink plunge and then regret it later.
Ryan Dale: I started in the military with nothing but tribal sleeves all the way down to my wrists. I found out after going to many applications, and interviews, even passing computer courses, I always never got the job. I blamed it on the tattoos because they can see the tattoos on my hand
Ryan Dale is visiting Pure Skin + Body for laser tattoo removal. He has extensive tattoos up his arms called sleeves, but wants to get rid of the tats on his hands because he believes they are a barrier to finding a job.
Anne Bragg: With the job market like it is. a lot of people are trying to get the edge. Sometimes, unfortunately, if you have a tattoo on your arm or your neck or your hand, or a visible tattoo, you may not get the job.
Anne Bragg is the owner of Pure Skin + Body and has seen an increase in the number of people feeling Remorse Over Body Art.
Anne Bragg: We are not judging them; we know that there is a need that is out there. Because there is so many places that are giving them, we wanted to be a place that was taking them off.
The Scarless technique requires an average of five sessions lasting 10 minutes each. The ink particles are heated rapidly with a laser, causing the cell to rupture and the ink particles to shatter. For Ryan, he is pleased with the results he sees after just three sessions.
Ryan Dale: Major fading, drastic fading, no bleeding, no scarring nothing.
An added benefit of the laser treatment is that it gets rid of melasma and age spots, but most importantly offers hope to anyone who hopes for their tat to be gone.
Anne Bragg: Depends on the ink that was used, how the ink was mixed, the different colors, but you can have a tattoo removed 100 percent.
For more information on laser tattoo removal, call Pure Skin + Body at (478)742-0174.

I envy all of these lucky fucking guys!

There is always a surprise or too included. Believe, I'm always here checking out the newest gay sausage party pics. There is no porn like it on earth! It's pure chaotic gay groupsex.
Come Get a Juicy Piece Of The Sausage Party
Posted by admin | Posted in Gay Strippers | Posted on 29-08-2012
The first thing that came to mind when I opened up this blog was that these hard muscled amateur guy buddies sure know how to show each other a good time. Whenever you are invited to a sausage sex party you are guaranteed to taste at least one big cock. That means that at least one completely stranger will shove his dick in your mouth and politely (or not) ask you to start sucking. It's all fun and good times with these party animals. All they do is drink booze and give each other blowjobs. How can you go wrong there?
Birthday Boy Gets a Hot Sausage Party
Posted by admin | Posted in Gay Blowjobs | Posted on 28-08-2012
Everyone was invited to this steamy birthday sausage party. Young guy and older men, all of them mingling together, while the lucky birthday boy got to blow out the candle. One of his buddies placed a fat cock in his mouth and made him suck and slobber on that penis until he shot his happy face full of sperm. This is one happy birthday he will never forget, and the present his friend gave him was priceless. This is gay group sex at its very best.
Masked Strippers At College Sausage Party
Posted by admin | Posted in Gay Strippers | Posted on 27-08-2012
Sometimes a college sausage party can be more entertaining than usual. For example, if you hire a masked stripper dressed up as Zorro to come over and treat you to a show, you are practically guaranteed to have a great time. He dances around and pulls out his cock for all to see and some to suck. The guys are all down and willing to do anything for some cock, even sucking off a complete stranger.
Posted by admin | Posted in Gay Porn | Posted on 25-08-2012
At this sausage party everyone is getting a chance to blow on this stud's hard cock. It would not be a real gay get-together without a nice sloppy blowjob includes, however in these pics several hot young guys get in on the action. They can't wait to wrap their hungry lips around the entertainers cock. I had heard that these sausage sex parties were wild, but this is almost too much! These fellows are out of control.

In The Works: Gulfstream G650
Gulfstream's G650 received provisional type certification from the FAA on Nov. 18, 2011, and the manufacturer expects full FAA certification shortly, allowing planned deliveries in the second quarter. The provisional certification let Gulfstream keep the production line moving, with final-phase manufacturing, including completion activity, continuing on customer aircraft so they can be delivered on schedule. According to FAA registry records, G650s with serial numbers 6001 through 6016 had received airworthiness certificates from the FAA by the end of last year, so it appears that 12 (four airplanes were for the flight-test program) G650s were delivered for completion by year-end. As of mid-January, 35 G650s had N-numbers and were listed in the FAA registry.

The latest fabrics are so gorgeous that it's hard not to want to use them in something! Meanwhile, sewing machines, threads, tools, and books are quite specific and user friendly, which makes the sewing process even more exciting and satisfying. In addition, many television shows and celebrities endorse sewing and decorating, thereby inspiring us to start our own projects. The combination of all of the above, plus the satisfaction one gets from manipulating fabric to create something useful and beautiful, has contributed to sewing's popularity, not just in quiltmaking, but also in the creation of small coordinating accessories.
Smaller projects are rewarding as favorite fabric pieces, even recycled or repurposed fabrics, are being used to create quick stash-friendly items. This was apparent at some of the quilt shows we recently attended, as well as the trade-only New York International Gift Fair at the Javits
Center (January 28—February 2, 2012), where we noticed a wealth of home decor, apparel, and functional products that were made using bits and pieces of fabric.
Also gaining popularity in the quilt world is "modern quilting." Modern quilts are set apart from traditional and art quilts by their primary use of neutral or solid colors with just a hint of print. Simplicity, minimalism, and practicality guide the quiltmaking process, as do improvisational piecing and asymmetry.
As always, we hope Quilt Trends gives you inspiration and possibilities for your own exciting quilts and projects.
—Donna Koenig, editor

The Least Worst Place
Guantanamo's First 100 Days
The Least Worst Place is a gripping narrative account of the first one hundred days of Guantanamo. Greenberg, one of America's leading experts on the Bush Administration's policies on terrorism, tells the story through a group of career officers who tried--and ultimately failed--to stymie the Pentagon's desire to implement harsh new policies in Guantanamo and bypass the Geneva Conventions. She sets her story in Camp X-Ray, which underwent a remarkably quick transformation from a sleepy naval outpost in the tropics into a globally infamous holding pen. Peopled with genuine heroes and villains, this narrative of the earliest days of the post-9/11 era centers on the conflicts between Gitmo-based Marine officers intent on upholding the Geneva Accords and an intelligence unit set up under the Pentagon's aegis. The latter ultimately won out, replacing transparency with secrecy, military protocol with violations of basic operation procedures, and humane and legal detainee treatment with harsh interrogation methods and torture.
Guantanamo's first 100 days set up patterns of power that would come to dominate the Bush administration's overall strategy in the war on terror. Karen Greenberg's riveting account puts a human face on this little-known story, revealing how America first lost its moral bearings in the wake of 9/11.less

Story of my lifee.
Im always the biggest disappointment.
Sooo I was sitting there talking too my mom &my brother reminiscing on the old days. Then I remember when I was younger&so was my brother. He went too the bathroom&was there for quite awhile..I think I'm really not sure I was just in my room playin with barbies&what not when finally the butt head(my brother) comes in my room& tell me too follow him&that he has something to show me. So being the gullible child I was&still am I followed him. When we got to the destination, which was the bathroom, he opens up the toilet&goes "Heyy look, I pooped soo huge! I pooped bigger then tiger" I looked at him amazed&laughed . We love our dog Tiger :) That was me&her when we were both little pups lol. If only I could go back..

Members of the Martin County Hunger Free Coalition will be participating in a "SNAP Challenge" during the week of Sept. 10-14 as part of national Hunger Action Month.
The Coalition consists of executive directors and senior staff from nonprofits organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, United Way, Salvation Army, House of Hope, and Council on Aging as well as rabbis and ministers, Martin County commissioners, and local citizens dedicated to ending hunger in Martin County.
In Florida, some low-income residents who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (commonly known as Food Stamps) receive roughly $4 per person a day to spend on food.
In solidarity with our neighbors, the mothers and fathers of our children's classmates, hungry children everywhere, and the clients we serve who participate in SNAP, members of the Martin County Hunger Free Coalition will be spending just $4 a day on food during the week of September 10-14.
There are no exceptions except condiments and spices. Receipts will be collected by each participant. Challenge participants in other parts of the country have expressed the difficulty of food shopping choices, how difficult it is to avoid hunger, affording nutritious foods, and staying healthy.
Those participating in the SNAP Challenge will be blogging about their experiences on the Treasure Coast Food Bank website and sharing their experiences on the Food Bank's Facebook page as well. And participants will make themselves available to members of the media before the SNAP Challenge and during the week.

It took me around 3 hours and 40g to get my retired pally to 280 Alchemy. My purpose was to get the Undeath to Water transmute which allows him to make around 7g per day sitting in front of the auction house. I lucked upon the recipe on AH for 120g buyout (usually goes for around 200g) the day after this alchemy power level. At this rate, he'll make the investment back in around 3 weeks. He also makes mooncloth, which nets around 8g per week. That's 57g per week doing absolutely nothing.

It's become something of a Chargers tradition in the Norv Turner era: a slow start followed by a red-hot finish and another AFC West title. With the second half of the season starting this Sunday at 10am in Houston right here on 96-7 KCAL Rocks, is the team ready to explode again?
In 2007, starting in Week 5, the Bolts won four of six, then closed by winning their last six to wrap up the division. '08 was a little dicier, with the team waiting until Week 13 to begin the closing win streak, taking their last four with one win against each division foe. Last year, the final loss came in Week 5 before the team blew away the West.
The signs for this year are pretty positive. Not only is Philip Rivers on track for a legendary 5,300-yard season, but the ground game is pacing toward another 1,800 yards, roughly 400 more than last year.
The problem must be the defense, right? Actually, the D is on track to surrender 1,200 fewer yards in total offense this year.
Maybe this says it best: Over the first three years of the Turner era, the Bolts have had fewer first downs than their opponents twice. Last year, they picked up 21 more first downs than the opposition over the course of the year. At the mid-point of 2010, the team already has 74 more first downs than the other guys.
With home games left against all three division rivals, and with the Colts and, ahem, Chiefs the only winning teams left on the schedule after this week, the big question might be whether the season-closing tear starts Sunday or after next week's bye.
Given the Texans ugly performance last Monday, their league-worst passing defense and the fact that they remain the only team to lose to the ghost of the Dallas Cowboys, something's got to give this week. And we're guessing it will be the Texans' secondary.

[Previous entry: "The Time Has Come To Fight A Second Civil War"] [Next entry: "A Time For Healing"]
11/04/2004: "He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword"
The 2004 election of George W. Bush may be one of the best things to ever
happen to the American Progressive Movement. OK, I can feel that I've lost
some of you, already. Hear me out on this:
First, the Democrats are unable to blame John Kerry's defeat on Ralph
Nader, as they incorrectly did for Gore's 2000 loss. That means
that Democrats can no long scare voters away from casting their ballots
for Progressive, third party, candidates by labeling those candidates as
Second, the Democrats just might realize that aping the Republicans on
economic issues is a losing strategy. Bill Clinton's economic policies
were almost exactly like those of his Republic predecessors (Bank
deregulation, for example). While Clinton was able to win the White House,
Democrats lost ground in the House and Senate. Why? Because working
people, seeing no difference between the two parties on economic issues,
began voting on cultural issues.
In an attempt to pick up the votes of working class people (and faced with
a shrinking Middle Class) Democrats would be wise to pepper their platform
with such Progressive ideas as a Living Wage, pulling out of NAFTA, and
universal Health Care.
Third, should the Democrats no realize that they can beat the republicans
on the economic front and continue on their present course (by running
Hilary Clinton in 2008), many of the new Democrats who were registered and
brought into the political process in 2004 might drift away from the
Democrats and into the Green Party.
Remember, in the 1930's, when working people began to vote for the
Socialist Party, the Democrats became frightened of losing their role as
the blue-collar party and began pushing for programs like Social Security.
Finally, the election of Gorge W. Bush has generated a great deal of anger
in the "Blue States. Leftists need to capitalize, pardon the pun, on that
anger. The 2004 election just might, someday, be viewed as a sort of Fort
Sumter in the Culture Wars.
For example, eleven states voted to ban Gay marriage on November 2nd. The
Left could strike back by proposing a boycott of those states. The same
way we affectively boycotted Arizona for that state's refusal to recognize
Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday as a holiday. Maybe the Left can also
use the anger generated by the election to oust reactionary legislators in
the "Blue States".
Who knows, George W. Bush just may've succeeded in energizing the Left in
a way no Democrat was ever able to?
_ . _
My apologizes for suggesting, yesterday, that those of us in the "Blue
States" slaughter every man, woman, and child living below the Mason-Dixon
Line. Hey, sometimes I can get a little carried away. I was also having a
little fun with the idea of stereotypes. When many conservatives say
"Boycott France" what they're really saying is "Stick it to those French
loving Liberal Homo Abortionists in the Blue States." I just cut straight
to the chase.
I do, however, get angry when I see what's been done to southern culture.
Edgar Allen Poe, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner were all
southerners. And yet, when we (even southerners) think of the south, do
we think of them? No, we think of Travis Tritt on a tractor going around
a NASCAR track.
The south allowed its intellectual heritage to be hijacked and replaced
with an episode of Hee Haw. So the south now has an image problem
of its own making. And only southerners can correct that problem. I wish
them the best of luck.
Since I know you people love this sort of stuff, here's how each state
voted, sorted by average IQ.

The Hunger Games
Looking for scoop on The Hunger Games?
We know you've got Katniss Everdeen fever, that Jennifer Lawrence is your homegirl, and that you're shipping Peeta Mellark hardcore... or, wait, do you prefer Gale Hawthorne? In any case, we've got all the latest Hunger Games photos, trailers, gossip, spoilers, cast updates, and news right here.
Suffice it to say, the odds are ever in your favor.
See: The Hunger Games Catching Fire: Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Portrait (PHOTO)
For those of you unaware, we've got you covered, too. Here's a summary.
The Hunger Games is a book and film franchise that kicked off with Suzanne Collins's 2008 novel by the same name. The second book, Catching Fire, debuted on bookshelves a year later, in 2009; and the epic saga concluded with the third book, Mockingjay in 2010.
The series tells the story of Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old girl living in Panem, a war-torn country on the land that used to be the United States. Katniss and her young sister and unstable mother live in District 12, one of the poorest of the 13 districts surrounding the oppressive Capitol.
Every year, to remind the Districts of the foolishness of their past uprising, the rich and powerful Capitol citizens hold a Hunger Games, in which two teenagers from each district fight to the death until there's one victor, whose district receives food for one year.
Originally Katniss's sister, Prim, was chosen to represent District 12, but Katniss volunteered as "tribute" in her stead.
Throughout her training with curmudgeonly mentor Haymitch Abernathy, loony Capitol representative Effie Trinket, and supportive stylist Cinna, Katniss becomes a force to be reckoned with. She also develops a romance — or is it a showmance? — with fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark. Never mind that she has a hunky suitor back home, the woodsy Gale Hawthorne.
Katniss's act of self-sacrifice, her impressive showing at the parade of tributes, and her rebellious nature make her a favorite competitor — and a symbol of hope for the oppressed districts. But before she leads any revolution, she has to survive in the arena of the Hunger Games...

"Our 1999 Private Reserve Howell Mountain Merlot from Bancroft Ranch has a nice, bright color and supple texture. There's a cobbler-like mix of sweet plum, cinnamon, clove, berries and orange rind aromas and flavors - all sort of elegantly entangled as opposed to explosive. It seems to play on all parts of the palate with long, lingering impressions that are delicious. I love a wine that is as interesting to contemplate as it is to enjoy."

The man who didn't chip in $2 to the lottery office pool is being called the "biggest loser" by some, but to me he sounds like a winner.
Why? He's not whining about it.
Sure, it would be a soul-crushing experience to see your co-workers split up the $319 Mega Millions prize (more than $19 million each after taxes), but at least he's not bitter or suing.
"I just wasn't feeling lucky that day," said Mike, who didn't want to give his last name, in an ABC News article. Today, he worked on keeping New York state government computers running while his millionaire friends went to pick up their over-sized check. The lucky seven haven't been showing up to work, and are expected to quit, though they've not told their bosses anything.
"I don't think they'll cut me in. I don't think they should. I don't deserve it," he said.
His friends had asked twice to see if he wanted to chip in, but he declined.
Maybe he's looking at the bright side. With his department being reduced to just one person, he's probably next in line for a promotion.
March 31st, 2011
7:16 pm
They had been playing the lottery as a group for years. Maybe he got discouraged. That is why I do not play anymore. Congratulations to the winners.
March 31st, 2011

well he has a DOH Type of moment… feel bad for the guy but he's better off

They will give him some of the winning not 19 million, But he will get 6 figures with I will not turn down.
March 31st, 2011
7:39 pm
I'd talk to the other folks and see if we could chip in and give him at least a taste. At least $20 or so.
March 31st, 2011
8:02 pm
BETTER OFF????!!!! Who the *bleep* is better off NOT COLLECTING $19 MILLION!?!?!?!?!?!!? You are an idiot. I'm amazed this guy hasn't jumped off a bridge or gone over Niagara Falls.

I bet in 2-3 years he will have a happier life – a job, money, etc. How many have you seen blow everything and wind up unhappy.

Mike sounds like a nice guy. This could be a blessing in disguise. I would still remain his friend — wouldn't you?
March 31st, 2011
9:06 pm
The reporting on this story has been atrocious. The biggest losers are the millions of people chipping into the lottery pool each day, who will each be out $5000 in ten years. There's no "I was so close" in gambling, only the near certainty of losing your money.
March 31st, 2011
9:06 pm
Bless you Mike for not being a greedy jackass, and owning up to the reality of the situation, that you had a choice. Most folks would be out looking for an attorney right now. You are a good man.
March 31st, 2011
9:18 pm
He said he didn't feel lucky. He was so right……
March 31st, 2011
9:33 pm
I'm so glad there isn't an organized lottery pool at my place of employment. If they did, I would have to play EVERY time b/c I could never live with myself if they won and I chose not to participate. It would get to be a burden and a hassle but I wouldn't be able to let myself quit participating. Someone mentioned something once about starting it up and I'm very grateful that the idea died.
I play occasionally when the jackpot gets really big (usually over 200 mil) but that's on my own.
March 31st, 2011
9:34 pm
His co-workers should still give him a certain amount basically because if they bet on quick-pick numbers and the guy let's say joined in the pool on that day and there were delays or whatever, those fellows wouldn't have gotten the right quick-picks. In other words, when he declined, the time element that was needed to buy those tickets were just the right "time" for those numbers to pop up on the machine. A litlle delay or advance would have spelled another story. Someone else may have bought quick-pick tickets ahead of them and that could have changed the random.
March 31st, 2011
9:35 pm
His wife is going to remind him of this for the rest of his sorry life.
March 31st, 2011
9:37 pm
Right now, Mike is drunk, standing over the bathroom sink with a razor to his wrist. His wife just walked out the front door with the kids and all their belongings, meanwhile, Leon Lett and the 5th Beetle have finally been let off the hook. Thank you Mike for bringing gratitude back into my life. But after all, money doesn't buy happi…never mind.
March 31st, 2011
9:37 pm
Had I been one of the winners I would have returned anyway because of my insurance and I would have given Mike a portion of my part of the winnings. Yes, he was asked twice if he wanted to join the "pool" and he declined and owns up to the fact. But obviously he had been chipping in during past drawings. Obviously, I don't know that for sure but it sounds like he had. I personally gave up on trying to win anything from the Texas lottery years ago.
March 31st, 2011
9:38 pm
By that logic, they should give some of it to the guy who held the door open at the convenience store and let them go in first.
Wow…you're out there.
March 31st, 2011
9:38 pm
His declining on that day contributed to the "timing of getting the right random" when they bought those quick-picks. His co-workers should take that into consideration. Don't be selfish.
March 31st, 2011
9:40 pm
poor bastid???…watta name. the guy who held the door was not in the pool. idiot.
March 31st, 2011
9:41 pm
Do you know how many factors went into the timing of the quick picks? They would have to give money to more people than just Mike. What about the nice person in traffic who let them in on their way to buy the tickets?
March 31st, 2011
9:42 pm
Guess what…Mike wasn't in the pool either. He declined.
You're a loon.
March 31st, 2011
10:01 pm
I still buy a GA Lottery ticket every week, have for years.
Never won more'n a few dollars and don't expect to win anything, I just like the idea of giving a little back to HOPE for all the thousands it forked out to fund my kids' college educations.
March 31st, 2011
10:04 pm
They should give him a dollar so that he can play next week's numbers….
March 31st, 2011
10:31 pm
If they have been playing the lottery together for years they should cut him in anyway. Think about it, they probably wouldn't have gotten the same numbers due to the extra time it would have taken for him to put his hand in his pocket and pull out the 2 bucks. If he had played they all would have lost!
March 31st, 2011
10:33 pm
At least now he knows why he "just wasn't feeling lucky that day"…
March 31st, 2011
10:34 pm
yes I agree with Anita
March 31st, 2011
11:05 pm
Maybe it would have thrown the whole selection of numbers off if he had entered, and then maybe none of them would have won.
March 31st, 2011
11:51 pm
There seems to be a poor understanding of how these things work. Does the word totally random mean anything to anyone here?
It's a massive series of coincidences where a lottery terminal cycling through millions of different combinations from its random number generator will select a particular set of numbers for quick pick tickets (like the winning ticket). Press that button to print out the ticket less than a microsecond earlier or later and the terminal is selecting different numbers. If the purchaser is asking for $16 in quick picks instead of $14, maybe the clerk has a minutely different reaction time. If the guy who reportedly cut in front of the purchaser of the winning ticket doesn't, the eventually winner is buying his tickets earlier with a completely different set of numbers. If the guy who normally joins in doesn't, maybe the guy collecting the money slows down to ask if he's sure and buys the tickets at a slightly different time. If a clerk shuts down the terminal and restarts it, maybe the time that's done makes a different. Or perhaps changes in heat mean the oscillator unit in the terminal is a bit faster or slower.
In the end it's essentially random chance because there can be billions of different events that lead to selecting the numbers, unless they're manually selected.
March 31st, 2011
11:57 pm
OK – I noticed there were quite a few posts that mentioned the total randomness of the timing that leads to quick picks getting selected. Yeah – there are literally billions of minute events that would lead to what numbers would be selected by the lottery terminal.
As for the odds, it's actually not as bad when the jackpot increases, but that's because previous participants continuously feed into the pool when there's no jackpot won. It's supposedly about a 1 in 175,000,000 chance of selecting 5 plus the Mega number, although there's a chance of multiple jackpot winning tickets splitting a prize.

When you become a multi millionaire, the only thing left for you in life is to enhance your legacy. Pitching in 2K each to give the guy a 20K or so would add a little gem to that legacy of each of the group.

I love my job, working here for the State. I'm so glad I didn't win all that money. What a hassle that would be. I'll be having my lunch down on the GW bridge.

I just CANNOT imagine how he feels! Ugh! That would just suck beyond belief! I don't think I would ever get over it if I was in Mike's shoes!
I remember a few years ago, several of my coworkers each put in $10 for someone to go buy FL lottery tickets. None of us made much money and I refused to participate. I cannot tell you how stressed I was over the weekend just thinking of them winning and then taunting me.
They didn't win.

Something tells me Anita is planning the old 'slip, fall, and make bank' routine at a local store in the near future. Her whole post is a twisted example of how our court systems get abused by frivolous lawsuits.
As for the pool, those against it just keep to yourself. For me, our office only plays when it gets aroudn $200 million and then it's two or three bucks per person. Quite frankly, $2-$3 bucks every quarter is not going to cost me $5000 'a few years down the road'. Now, if you are talking abotu those that play every week, then I would agree. To me, the money is well spent for entertainment. Compare it to spending $30-$40 going to a movie you could see free in a year or two and have absolutely no shot of getting any valuable ROI, and it makes very good sense. To each their own.
I don't feel bad for the guy, but man, what a time to decide not to play. I have no doubt he will be taken care of by his friends. Maybe not to the tune of millions, but I am willing to bet he makes 6-figures from gifts.

I honestly can't say whether or not I would give Mike anything. Because he had a chance to play. Two dollars wasn't going to make him or break him. As for the people who are trying to rationalize the events that needed to take place in order for those 7 people to win maybe it wasn't a part of Mike's destiny to be a millionaire.

Studies have shown lottery winners are the least happy people. I NEVER want to be this guy, but he won't have the highs and the typical lows of winners. (I never play the lottery, but if the office is going in, I play. I don't want to be the guy left behind. Knowing what I've read, I'd like a chance at that unhappiness myself…)

Am I the only person who would give this guy a consolation prize out of my own winnings? Had I won of course. This could have been any of them in the same boat had they not had the two dollars on them or had they been out sick that day. Now, if the guy was generally not a nice co-worker I may find that difficult but I also read the bible and know to love my neighbor and treat others how you would like to be treated.

Should smart phones be allowed in the classroom?
Smart phones are already in the classroom, and that is not likely to change, regardless of rule, threat or consequence. Allowing them, but insisting that they are not concealed is a better approach for two reasons: Firstly, teaching explicit instruction on exactly when it is appropriate to respond to a text can happen. Secondly, the teacher will be aware more often of the moments when students have been distracted, so the redirecting of focus for individuals can happen.
Closing Statement from Christian Lemke
I love this site! Great comments all around. In closing, I'm not dissuaded from allowing students measured access to their phones based on what I've read.
Using the phones to cheat in class came up, which, I have to admit I hadn't paid much attention to. In my high-school class environment the cheating is more likely to occur in multi-section courses, where student in period 1 texts info to student taking the same class in period 2. I'm a single section, so it's a non-issue for me, but an issue worth exploring to help in other circumstances.
The question of a student's 'right to bear phones' in class came up, using the argument that paying customers of education should feel free to engage, or not engage... after all, they paid. Like TK, I don't buy it for a second, because fiddling at inappropriate times is distracting to the other paying customers nearby. It's simply rude/selfish in a presumably academic environment.
Sep 25 2011: sure, they can cause a distraction... but they can also be used as a learning opportunity. i look up unfamiliar concepts and things i am curious about on my smart phone in the classroom all the time, it's just a tool. i do not answer texts though. i firmly believe that rather than banning phones and other various technologies in the classroom, they can definitely be used to instruct when it's appropriate to use them, or just teach and practice social etiquette in general, which of course means there's got to still be boundaries... like during teacher(s) speaking or when it is disrupting productivity. smart phones are well integrated into our world now, that's just reality. whether people have the ability to use them responsibly in the classroom is the real question, though...
besides, kids in classrooms are bound to use their phones in the classroom whether they aren't allowed or not; they're sneaky. perhaps during tests they should be put in the front of the classroom or something, since cheating does happen.
Sep 25 2011: SG I understand that often, the phone is the 'default' dictionary and thesaurus, map... as you say, 'tool' for many of my students. Remarkably, the students in my class seem to feel empowered to be allowed to use their most familiar tool without getting a sideways glance from me. They appreciate the autonomy, and show it by respecting and learning the 'digital etiquette' concepts I described in my opening remark.
Cheating is curbed, I like to think, by the fact that phones remain out and in view. Also this way I have a better chance of knowing if students are 'up to something' which to me means, they're not engaged and might be missing something critical to the lesson.
The autonomy granted takes care of classroom management, the phones being out helps curb cheating and misuse/clandestine use, and also gives me clues into who is engaged, and who is drifting into their own worlds, when. So far, it's working for us.
lynn eschbach 30+
Benny boy
Tony Kuphaldt 10+Sep 25 2011: @Steven Would you feel the same if your freedom compromises other students' learning? Students often spend class time on their cell phones and other electronic devices in such a way that it distracts other students around them.
To use an analogy, should students be allowed to play music or smoke cigarettes in class?
Paying tuition does not give you the right to take away others' freedom to learn in a minimum-distraction environment.
Debra Smith 200+
Sep 25 2011: Without reforming total certification system currently we have to into real education system , just allowing phone (not only smartphone) will not bring any benefit thats my feelings.
Interestingly with eveolving technology what I understand from various discussion here certification system of the most rich and devloped countries maintaining status quo........!!!
Sep 24 2011: sure! and let them doodle too!
seriously, this is on teds mainpage atm.

I'd like to share my take on a recently released report by the California Legislative Analyst's Office that suggests California is blindly stumbling into its clean energy future with no roadmap or sense of the terrain it's already traversed. This report seems to conclude that lack of coordination between energy agencies, or at least evidence of room for improvement, is reason for us to delay making plans for a cleaner energy future. I strongly disagree. Read More

Are Some Californians Paying Too Much to Charge their Plug-in Vehicles?
September 24th, 2012
A recent survey of electric vehicle (EV) owners shows that a significant number of Californians may be leaving hundreds of dollars a year in fuel-cost savings on the table. The survey by the California Center for Sustainable Energy suggests that more than a third of EV owners in some utility territories may not be on the utility rate plan that would save them the most money.

California Gives a Boost to Electric Vehicles, Approves $27 Million in Consumer Rebates

Solar for You and Me (Not Just the 1%)
July 9th, 2012

This program, more commonly known as the "CSI," offers customers of the three largest investor-owned utilities in California—Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas and Electric—incentives to install solar panels on rooftops. The CSI is the largest solar program in the country and aims to install 1,940 megawatts (MW) of solar generation capacity by the end of 2016. Read More

Charging an Electric Car in California? Save Money with the Right Rate Plan.
May 23rd, 2012
Californians will soon have a few more electric vehicle options to choose from. Ford has started shipping the electric Focus to dealers in California, New York and New Jersey this week. And California EV maker Tesla announced last week that its Model S will soon roll off the assembly line, earlier than previously announced. For those who snag an early Model S, a Focus Electric, or any other plug-in EV, charging up at home will impact their electricity bill. And for EV drivers who live in California, choosing the right electricity rate plan can mean the difference of up to $1,000 a year in fuel-cost savings. Read More

Tiger Woods Scandal: The Top Sports Story of '10by Free Britney at . Comments
The truly unparalleled Tiger Woods scandal and his humbling, less than stellar return to golf was named the top sports story of 2010 by the AP.
He should share the honor with Rachel Uchitel.
The fallout from Woods' admission of infidelity was something no one could have expected - a deluge of mistresses, a split from Elin Nordegren and perhaps most surprisingly, a winless season on the golf course for the first time.
The Tiger Woods scandal made 2010 a year like no other.
It was Thanksgiving 2009 when Woods' pristine image unraveled after he crashed his SUV into a tree, unleashing salacious revelations of his double life.
Will 2011 be the year his return to prominence is the top story? That would be a comeback for the ages, and at this point, we're sort of pulling for it.
He made for great celebrity gossip, but at the end of the day, he's paid a heavy price for his "transgressions." It'd be nice to see Tiger back on top.
Johnny Miller and Gary Koch can both take their bullshit unstihustaenic comments and shove them up each other's flaming asses. Every time a name starts to immitate these dicks (like they know what I'm doing and I don't) on the golf course, I tell them to shut the fuck up too. Play your own game and shut the fuck up. Push that up your ass, Johnny Miller! Annoying ass geezer
Time to move on, Carmen.
Tiger Woods was given a golden opportunity and he misused it in a very big way! Tiger brought all his misfortunes unto himself. He destroyed his marriage, the family unit, his brand, the trust of the public and his golf game for something totally worthless!!! Everyone now knows who and what Tiger is and what he has done!!! Tiger tarnished his reputation and his name will be forever linked to one of the biggest sex scandal in the history of sports!!! I hope Tiger amends his life and does not cause his innocent children more shame and hurt!!!

This is a lovely short-story that will leave everyone feeling warm and fuzzy!
This is a wonderful book. The pictures are beautiful and then story line is well done. The story teaches kindness and to not segregate others because of our images of them, or have them act how we think they should. It teaches compassion for the turkeys and that their place at our table should be as friends.

text: Tragic and heart-wrenching and mind-boggling thrilling. Olson and Hawkes earn all my attention during the entire length of the film. I can't stop watching the prey getting locked up by the predator. Even when she physically escapes, she cannot mentally and psychologically escape the presence of her leader. She is forever haunted, forever damaged, by the sad experiences of her time in the farm.
