text: This is an agreement between an independent contractor engineer and a company that is engaging the engineer's services. An independent contractor is a natural person, business, or corporation that provides goods or services to another entity under terms specified in a contract or with a verbal agreement (assuming it satisfies the Statute of Frauds). This document in its draft form contains numerous of the standard clauses commonly used in these types of agreements; however, additional language may be added to allow for customization to ensure the specific terms of the parties' agreement are addressed. This form is useful to a person or entity that wishes to hire an engineer as an independent contractor. AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made as of ___________ [Instruction: Insert Date], by and between ___________ [Instruction: Insert Name of Company], ___________ [Instruction: Insert Address] (the "Company") and ___________ [Instruction: Insert Name of Engineer], ___________ [Instruction: Insert Address] (the "Contractor").

Ken Ward at The Charleston Gazette has a story worth reading about West Virginia's failure to enforce new coal mine dust standards prompted by the deadly explosion three years ago at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine.
Ward used the state's Freedom of Information Act to obtain and review mine safety inspections conducted by the Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training.
"But despite finding hundreds of instances over the last 18 months where mining operations didn't comply with the new standards," Ward reports, the state agency "has not issued even a single citation for violating the dust standards…"
Coal dust explodes when ignited and acts as an accelerant, causing explosions to grow and spread underground. Excessive coal dust was cited as a major factor in the Upper Big Branch explosion, which killed 29 coal miners.
Davitt McAteer, a former federal mine safety chief, conducted an independent investigation of the explosion.
"This dust issue was absolutely the most critical failure" at the mine, McAteer told Ward. "And three years later, there's still not a prevention measure in place to keep it from occurring again."
Ward sat with Eugene White, the director of W.Va.'s mine safety agency, as he scrolled through a spreadsheet describing hundreds of coal dust samples.
As Ward reports, "…there were plenty of mines where the samples were marked as having 'failed' the state's standards. The state's data, though, included no information about citations, enforcement orders or fines."
Ward quotes White saying, "This is still a work in progress. We're working on it."
Two weeks ago, the Gazette reported that state regulators had yet to write rules requiring automatic shutdown of mining machines when sensors detect dangerous levels of methane gas, a natural element in coal mines that is also explosive.
Investigators concluded that the Upper Big Branch explosion began with an ignition of methane gas at a longwall mining machine.
The W.Va. legislature enacted a law nearly a year ago containing the methane shutdown requirement.
Federal mine safety law already includes a similar requirement but the W.Va. measure is tougher, forcing mining machine shutdowns at lower concentrations of methane gas.
Since the 2010 tragedy, federal regulators have conducted monthly surprise inspections of mines with habitual safety problems. They've also called for tougher coal dust standards that more strictly limit the concentrations of dust permitted underground. Coal mine dust also causes the deadly miners disease called black lung.
Mining companies can control coal dust by regular cleaning of mining areas, the use of water sprays on mining machines, ventilation that provides robust airflow, and spreading crushed limestone which tampers coal dust. [Copyright 2013 NPR]

Foot Healing Advice from the American Podiatric Medical Association
Bethesda, MD (Vocus) September 29, 2009 -- Now in its ninth season, ever popular TV show Dancing with the Stars has launched with its largest cast ever. Tom Delay, contestant and former Speaker of the House, recently started the competition as the latest victim of a foot injury. Delay has said the "pre-stress fracture" in his right foot will not stop him from performing, but he's one of many celebrities who have dealt with foot problems on the show. Early treatment and proper medical attention from a foot and ankle expert, a podiatrist, can keep the stars, or anyone, dancing all season long.
"Like all rigorous, physical activity dancing poses an injury risk to the foot and ankle, especially when it's done for an extended amount of time on a daily basis," said APMA President Ronald D. Jensen, DPM. "There are simple steps that can be taken to prevent foot injuries from occurring and also treatments available to speed healing time and get one back on the dance floor."
The love of dance that's hit the country due to the show's popularity may have inspired some personal twirls and twists around the kitchen floor. Before trying anything too advanced, take heed of the following podiatrist approved advice so you're not seeing stars. Always progress slowly at any new activity or sport, wear shoes specifically for the activity, stop at the first sign of pain and immediately visit a podiatrist if sudden and severe pain is present.
Some of the most memorable Dancing with the Stars contestants, their foot ailments and proper treatment methods are:

We can learn by exchanging and discussing our own lists of "10 Things I Know to be True."
After listening to Sarah Kay's beautiful speech and poetry, I tried to write my own list of "10 Things I know to be True." I learned one thing immediately: I don't know much. I learned a second thing more slowly: that's okay! I tried to distill my limited understanding of the world into this list, without being overly philosophical nor literal.
One thing I know to be true, but that is not on my list, was that Sarah Kay was right when she said that if you share your list with a group of people you will find that someone has one thing very similar, someone else has something totally contrary, another person has something you've never heard of, and still another has something that makes you think further about something you thought you knew.
So let's share ours, and find out! What do your lists have on them?
Here's mine:
1. Fiction can, at times, feel more real than fact.
2. One person, with a good idea, can change our world.
3. There are things about our universe that we will never understand.
4. #3 is not an excuse to stop trying.
5. Everyone has a story worth hearing.
6. There is always another side to the story they tell.
7. Questions can sometimes teach more than their answers.
8. Children can sometimes teach more than their parents.
9. Everyone should travel.
10. No one's truth is universal.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 22 2011: 1. I may not be able to control my circumstances but I can definitely develop more control over the perception of my circumstances.
2. A mind that never stops thinking and questioning is both a blessing and a curse.
3. Only through adding value will you gain value.
4. Life is ...
5. Curiosity may have killed the cat but we'll never know how he died if we aren't curious enough to look into it.
6. Everything is a cycle, an ebb and a flow. Going with the flow is much easier than going against it but is probably less rewarding in the long term.
7. Sometimes relying on logic is the most illogical thing you can do.
8. Passion beats preparedness in most things.
9. Diversity is not just PC, it's also nature being an entrepreneur.
10. You might as well enjoy life because it will kill you in the end. Maybe.
11. Conformity might be easier but it isn't always the best or right option.
Thomas Jones 100+Oct 22 2011: QUOTE: "2. A mind that never stops thinking and questioning is both a blessing and a curse."
Well, by definition, the mind will never stop thinking (until we die) so the trick is we have to "go" where the mind cannot follow.
QUOTE: "8. Passion beats preparedness in most things."

Time for some new words and expressions. Those that promote the discussion get taken up and used, the others just fade into obscurity on some server somewhere.
Tit swinging – This is the direct equivalent of "dick swinging". Dick swinging refers to competitive, macho boasting. Tit swinging is the swarming you see in feminist spaces to shower sympathy on someone who has just told a story of pain, and frankly it is comforting to see. It isn't really a competition at all, it is just about belonging – making that person feel surrounded by support, and reaffirming their own worthiness to belong, which we all need to do from time to time. In this it is a lot like dick swinging. Dick swinging is competitive and tit swinging is not, but the competitiveness of dick swinging is all about belonging, all about making the team, so at bottom they are both quite alike.
Cave fish – A cave fish is someone who has lived in their own dark little world for so long that they have finally gone blind and can't see the reality that other people live in, also known as "your privilege blinds you". Tumblrfems are a common form of cave fish. Some of the more extreme corners of the manosphere harbor cave fish too.
Female chauvinist pig – This is a woman who thinks women are more moral, more caring than men because men cause all the violence and oppression in the world and control everything, that women's concerns should be centered and that men should just suck it all up because after all they already control everything, that the metric of a good man is how well he takes care of a woman or how much he "respects" them…and you know all the other attributes and attitudes.
She values females over males and thinks a woman's suffering requires more and better attention than a man's. This comes out in various ways. Either she downplays the suffering of a male, as in trying to explain away women's rapes of boys – the rapists weren't really doing any harm, the boy really wanted it anyway, the little perv – or she tries to equate it to some lesser suffering that women experience – equating rape of women to the murder of men for decades is a common example. She can erase the male any number of ways – simply omitting the gender of the majority of war victims is common, or else dismissing male victims by saying it's all just men doing it anyway (a form of objectification).
There are some sub-categories:
Princess Fish Sauce – This is a woman, generally young, who thinks men's bodies are icky but hers is the Ultimate Prize for which all men should strive, and must prove their worthiness through many trials and perils and shit tests, or else they are misogynists trying to marginalize women.* (MGTOW is misogyny!) She's very clear on insisting that every real man she goes with is going to go down on her, fish sauce or not; or else he's a misogynist asshole, but she thinks fellatio is eewwww and a form of patriarchal submission, and besides, penises are just icky, m'kay? Squeeeee!!!!
Phallophobe – This is someone who believes in the Evil Penis – that the phallus is a threatening weapon rather than something that can easily be injured, that it is just axiomatic that rape is something men do to women, that any display of masculinity is suspicious. This is someone who uses "phallic" and "testosterone-fueled" as derogatory terms or says someone is "testosterone-poisoned". This is someone who is phobic about phalluses.
Foaming feminist – as opposed to a feminist who actually does want to dismantle traditional gender roles rather than exploit them for victimhood, who actually see all people regardless of gender as full human beings with rights and hurts and the whole load, who really makes her feminism about gender equality. A foaming feminist on the other hand is motivated by a sense of moral superiority over men, and who derives her ideology from a sense of rather Victorian outrage at the brutishness of men.
Moving along:
Gynophile; gynophilia – and this is the male reflex of the Female chauvinist pig. Like a pedophile who "loves" children, but in a bad, predatory way, he "loves" women, but in a bad, pedestalizing, bigoted way. Both are perversions, since bigotry is a perversion. This is the man who thinks Women Are Wonderful and that little girls are made of sugar and spice while boys are made of snails and whatnot. what a wonderful word it would be if woman ran it! No more war or hunger or over-consumption or consumerism, no more competition, no more homeless puppies…. Of course there might still be plenty of inhumanity to man, but so what? Men deserve most of it, right? And there would still be plenty of homeless men, but hey, what about all the women forced to wear high heels?
That's it for this installment. Nominate some more!
*As Carol Hanisch, founding member of the New York Radical Women, 1967, said:
"Men's liberationists always bring up 'confronting their own feelings about men' by which they mean homosexuality. Male homosexuality is an extension of the reactionary club (meaning both group and weapon). The growth of gay liberation carries contempt for women to the ultimate: total segregation. The desire of men to 'explore their homosexuality' really means encouraging the possibility of homosexuality as a reaction against feminist demands. This is the reason the movement for "gay rights" received much more support only after women's liberation became a mass movement."
So basically her claim is that men ignoring women is contempt. Even when we do nothing we are guilty of harming women, because we owe them attention and it is violence when we "deprive" them of it. Talk about a rape culture – they are entitled to our sexual attention.

Obama widens lead over Romney despite jobs data: Reuters/Ipsos poll
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, picking up support following the Democratic National Convention, widened his narrow lead over Republican U.S. presidential challenger Mitt Romney in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Saturday.
The latest daily tracking poll showed Obama, a Democrat, with a lead of 4 percentage points over Romney. Forty-seven percent of 1,457 likely voters surveyed online over the previous four days said they would vote for Obama if the November 6 elections were held today, compared with 43 percent for Romney.
"The bump is actually happening. I know there was some debate whether it would happen... but it's here," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark, referring to the "bounce" in support that many presidential candidates enjoy after nominating conventions.
Obama had leapfrogged Romney in the daily tracking poll on Friday with a lead of 46 percent to 44 percent.
The president's lead comes despite a mixed reaction to his convention speech on Thursday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Friday's government data showing that jobs growth slowed sharply last month.
Obama's lead over Romney is comparable to Romney's former lead over the president after the Republican National Convention finished last week, Clark said.
"We don't have another convention now to turn our attention to, so (Obama's bounce) may maintain," Clark said. "How big it'll be and how long it will last remains to be seen."
Obama increased his lead over Romney in certain favorable characteristics. Asked who was more "eloquent," 50 percent of the 1,720 registered voters questioned in the poll favored Obama, compared to 25 percent for Romney. Asked about being "smart enough for the job," 46 percent sided with Obama compared to 37 percent for Romney.
In fact, Obama led Romney in a dozen such favorable characteristics, such as "represents America" or "has the right values." The only such category in which Romney had an advantage was being "a man of faith," as 44 percent picked Romney, who is Mormon, compared to 31 percent for Obama, who is Christian.
The Democratic National Convention itself received a rather muted response in the poll. Of those registered voters who had heard, seen or read at least something about it, 41 percent rated it as "average" and 29 percent as "good."
The Republican National Convention that wrapped up August 30 in Tampa, Florida similarly was rated "average" by 38 percent and "good" by 27 percent in Saturday's polling results.
The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
(Editing by Will Dunham)
The Mormons definitely consider themselves Christians.
One need not like or respect Mr Romney in order to draw a line in the sand over such clumsy and prejudiced manipulations.
This may be a bigger landslide than just not following thru in 2008 to create jobs thru shovel ready programs, or the Fast and furious gun scandal… or the bank bailout without help for Home Owners as Promised.
Democrats are falling apart…..
And Obama is leading the charge off the cliff by being the only President in Recent History to NOT sign a Budget.. Democrat Senate for 4 YEARS…

Spaniard Beatriz Recari Triumphs In Two-Hole Playoff To Win LPGA Kia Classic
Bringing a two-shot lead into the final round of the LPGA Kia Classic, Beatriz Recari most likely didn't have eyes on winning the tournament in dramatic fashion. Slow and steady, banking on her impressive lead. That wasn't the case however, as Recari finished Sunday's round at Aviara in Carlsbad, California, tied for the lead with I.K. Kim. Both Recari and Kim three-putted the 18th hole to force a two-hole playoff. The two would repeat their performances on 18, during the first playoff hole, forcing another hole. That was when Recari sank an 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe to secure her second career LPGA title.

I had an interesting conversation with an older gentleman recently. He made a comment about men and masculinity that sort of stuck with me. When he discovered that I was not married, he said he "understood why" so many women like me couldn't find a man. Yes, I had to actually have this conversation with a stranger…..again.
Apparently, all the real men left on the planet is in his generation (He was 58 years old). Well, it turns out he had this theory that if a man's masculinity is questionable (for any number of stereotypical reasons) then he isn't a real man.
I started to think about what masculinity is defined as now. I imagine that this is a generational thing because men today can be sensitive and strong at the same time. Does every man who can't rebuild a car engine need to have his masculinity questioned?
Do you think that masculinity has been redefined to represent something new or different?
Do you think masculinity is measured by the wrong things? Does it ever play a role in how we meet and date?

Masculinity may have been re-defined by society but in reality I think that it is part of the reason that men feel so frustrated. We are expected to be sensitive and strong but there is no clear definition of what that is supposed to mean. As a man I am endowed with certain traits and attitudes. This endowment comes not from society, but from genetics. It is a painful fact that when I try to force my behavior to fit a mold that is defined by society rather than by nature, I feel out of place. In that scenario I am pretending to be someone other than who I am. Like it or not, society is trying to "feminize" the male population and it just aint right.

While I like a guy that takes care of himself, I have no tolerance or desire to have a "man" that gets pdi/mani's all the time, spends longer getting ready than I do or fits the description of metro-sexual. Give me the rugged, outdoorsy type, scruffy face, muscular bod and can rip someone's head off if the situation calls for it. Do those types have some "not so desireable" traits? Yep. But so do we women. The good with these men SO outweigh the bad.

Sorry to say, but the wussification of the male population continues and is gaining speed. Your friend was closer to being right than he was wrong. The problem is with this MTV psychology. Men should be tough physically and emotionally. Look at the animal kingdom, for example. The male gender is always the protector, the pillar of strength, the originator of "Don't tread on me or my territory. Men these days are soft, whiny and "get their feelings hurt" every time the wind changes direction. Clint Eastwood was the last "Real Man" and he would ask the punks of today "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

I went out with a guy not to long ago for about three dates. He seemed a little effiminate in some areas, but I wrote it off. The first time we had sex….he CRIED afterwards, because he felt so emotional about it. I cut that line immediately along with the lead wire, the hook and whatever bait I was using. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

With the pickins so slim these days regarding a REAL man, I would just be glad to find a man that wasn't juat a 5 minute wonder. Trust me, women aren't getting ANYTHING out of that five minutes.

I think it's more of white guys that tend to lean in the direction of metrosexual men. There are some black men that do it, but IMO, it's mostly the white guys that have that "look". Don't know if it's the culture or what, but it ain't pretty…..well, maybe it's that it's TOO pretty. LMAO

Now Lana, the guy who cried after you put it on him…yeah, he might be taking the high hard one when you are not looking…. and KOB, that whole "Rip someones head off" thing….I know that guy too, and I am calling BS on that as well…..

Wow, interesting topic.
Having just spent a few years with a huge group of men from all backgrounds and upbringing, let me state clearly that we are morphing into women. Just one evolutionary step from the first man to have a cycle. The ONLY reason I can give is most men are raised by and dominated by women and hence that state becomes natural. Domination creates submission and vice versa. The flip side is women are becoming very masculine in dress, appearance and attitude.
May 3rd, 2011
9:23 am
@Simple, sorry, but some of the stereotypes of masculinity aren't just stereotypes. They are indeed the truth. Just because you don't fit or agree with ALL of the criteria is not reason to discount the whole she'bang. Ever heard the phrase "Be a man about it!"? Ya reckon what it's referring to? Men and women are different and have different characteristics. Don't blame me, it's Mother Nature's fault. Now don't get your lacey panties in a wad over it all…..

When you find yourself in a conversation with a guy, and you start saying "girl, this or girl that" there's something you've pick-up on about him you're not yet conscience of. While he was doing the full court press, I just couldn't get past that feeling…
May 3rd, 2011
9:26 am
morning handsome
i've learned to respect that the metrosexuals care about their health and appearance. i don't know that i could have been with that type cuz i'm more natural and earthy myself.
whether a guy goes all out to be 'pretty' or just goes all natural, what really matters to me is that he exude an air of 'don't even THINK about it' … and back it up .
definitely see your point, truth. hi!
May 3rd, 2011
9:29 am
Right into my wheelhouse;
Let's be real.
Being a "man" is not just because of your gender or how many times you say you're a man.
Being a "man" is doing what needs to be done, sacrificing when no one else will, taking the lumps, and doing it all for a ishtty tie, the big piece of chicken, and hopefully some peace and quiet every once in a while.
That said, being a man doesn't mean swallowing your feelings/emotions (that's how people have heart attacks and strokes), it means finding a healthy and productive way of dealing with them. It also means controlling those emotions so that they don't consume your reason.
Being a "man" is a function of many different things, some from the old school of drinking/smoking away your troubles to the new school of hitting the gym.
Finally, being a "man" is self – definitional. There ain't a dude on this board, better yet born of a woman alive that has the gall to tell me (to my face) that based on his definition, I'm not a "man" or a "real man". Doesn't make him a wimp or me anything other than a "man not to [messed] with."
Oh, and to the (eventual) counterpoint; in this instance, no female can tell a male what it is to be a "man". Sorry ladies, but that you can never truly know.
May 3rd, 2011
9:33 am
Reggie, I dont discount the whole issue, but comments like "rugged, outdoorsy type, scruffy face, muscular bod and can rip someone's head off if the situation calls for it" do not define what a man is…Now if thats KOBs' chioce then cool..But To try and force all men to fit into the mold of John Wayne is as silly as it is tio say that women have stopped being feminine because they dont all look and act like Vanessa Williams…
May 3rd, 2011
9:40 am
Dan, while you're correct to a certain degree, there are traits that are mandatory for a mans survival. Luckily we have created this facade we call society where I guy can hide and let his woman lead. Most societies don't allow this. Even today there are cultures where a dude has to prove he has the right stuff. Funny thing is in these types of societies femininity amongst females is abundant. Not so here. I'm not saying everyone has to be macho man but a cats gotta have gears. Hug the baby at 5am and shoot dinner by noon.
Btw, how are things in your camp.
I bet folks thought Obama was metrosexual until he called out the dogs. That was a ballsy move. (Trying to incorporate international headlines with todays topic. I at least tried)
Hi Cz.
May 3rd, 2011
9:50 am
Things are good on this end, you married yet?
To your point about "having what it takes" and the "facade of society" I give you your point about Obama.
Well groomed, well spoken, articulate, calm and concillatory demeanor, and the same man that ordered a 10 yard kill.
These things aren't incongruous. You can hug (and change) the baby at 5am, shoot dinner at noon, be back in the office at 1, and go home and help the kids with their homework. Why? Because you're a man and that may be what you're called on to do that day.
I think the man difference is the way people carry themselves. Back in the day, the 'fro, the dashiki, the calloused hand and the cig were all outward appearances (in some segments of the culture); as was the briefcase, the suit, the fedora and the cig.
I can say for the guys in my family, being "manly" was a function of not letting nobody treat you as anything less than a man, worthy of respect and equal treatment. That's how they carried it.
I don't have to have calloused hands or a fedora, a briefcase, or worry about someone treating me as less than an equal. I don't have to carry it like they did.

I blame Soulja Boy Tell Em. When did it become the thing for a man to *want* to be known as a pretty boy? (lol)
May 3rd, 2011
10:08 am
Dan, true it doesnt have to be all bravado. As we found out a lot of those nerdy cats had the cajones to make power moves too. Now a lot of wanna be tough guys work for those dudes. There are common ingredients to being a man though. It may not be 24″ arms but it is there. Overall we're heading the way of lace panties in a hurry.
I've seen many a dude that would gladly take 12 inches of love versus standing his ground. If a dude won't fight for himself he won't fight for anyone.
You are right though, it's all in how a dude carries himself. Thing is that is based on how how he was trained. Guess who trained these guys. lol

Morning All!
I'm loving all this too, Mo! Nothing more wonderful in this world than real men! Being a woman, I can't define it any more than a man can define what a real woman is. But I know one when I meet one! There are no questions in my mind. And yes, I prefer the old school man, with a bit of new school mixed in!
Yes, the Prez is THE MAN!!! He tried to tell some of yall he GOT THIS!!
Truth – Hey there! What's up with the wedding plans? I am a month away!!

May 3rd, 2011
10:19 am
whoa! truth, dan and kimmie all talking wedding plans? that just puts a big ol grin on my face. congrats to yas!
i think the older guy is talking about 'real men' in the sense that truth brought up. older gents are looking at the way the younger dudes behave and the way they regard women, and they're not at all impressed.
May 3rd, 2011
10:22 am
Swiss – Do you shave that One ball or is it one hairy baller?
May 3rd, 2011
10:24 am
Morning all –
it turns out he had this theory that if a man's masculinity is questionable (for any number of stereotypical reasons) then he isn't a real man.
I agree…and it goes further beyond just the metrosexual stuff.
There are men today that are vocal and accepting about
1) Women persuing the man
2) Women being the main or primary provider (i.e. I don't care if she takes care of me)
Yes, times have changed, but I do think it's becoming more prevalent to see these types of situations be celebrated by men. I'm not talking about exceptions to the rule (like if the man is laid off and the woman has to carry the family for a while), but the ones who will tell you the above is cool, then talk about how much of a "real man" they are. Um, no.
May 3rd, 2011
10:24 am
Brat – That's what I took from the gent. And I hear that alot from older men that are very much together and still have it going on.

May 3rd, 2011
10:29 am
I pretty much agree with what Dan and The Truth are saying. I would add that standing up for one's self needn't necessarily be a physical confrontation. Frankly, there are even more effective ways of dealing with adversaries.
I haven't rebuilt an engine for a long time, though, and the last one I did was for a 1954 GMC Truck. Nice and simple, I could actually understand what all the parts were for!
May 3rd, 2011
10:31 am
Here are the problems with men:
Allowing women defining masculinity.
Consenting to women as the final authority.
Scared to take an azz whooping for something you believe.
Allowing women to raise your son(s) and no I don't give a dayum what she says, the court says or how much money it will cost you.
Soft and don't know how to struggle anymore.
No plan for success
Adopting the victim role of women. i.e it ain't ever my fault (I witnessed a mother doing that for her son at school yesterday)
Laziness hiding behind a dream.
Confusing "getting over" with a career.
May 3rd, 2011
10:32 am
Ared – Well it goes back to what Truth said as far as who is 'training/raising the men'. If you're a boy growing up with only a mother in the household, then more than likely, you'll be very accepting of a woman taking care of you as an adult. A guy friend of mine told me before he moved up here from Orlando, that a dude he knows was telling him how he doesn't have to do too much of nothing because chicks are doing it all. He of course called females these days 'thirsty' therefore willing to put up with waaaaay more bytch-like behavior from dudes for the sake of having a guy.
May 3rd, 2011
10:35 am
dude he knows was telling him how he doesn't have to do too much of nothing because chicks are doing it all.
Yup, exactly. Lazy and proud of it. Times have changed.
Like, I have no doubt I could have some sugar daddy paying my bills if I wanted to…but as a woman of character…why would I want to?
May 3rd, 2011
10:37 am
What up Truth. Good to read you bruh.
"Claims that "this generation has no real mean" are something you'd hear from a bitter old f@rt who can't get any fresh booty anymore." – Exactly Swiss!!! All that and Wise still didn't touch his worms. I hope. Right Wise?
abc: The last engine I built was my 78 Cutlass Supreme. Dayum that was a good car but the car companies got smart by it impossible to work on these new cars. Hell you need software just to change the oil now.

10:39 am
I haven't really watched much of Hip Hop love but that chick Chrissy took matters into her own hands by proposing to her dude Jim Jones…I would prefer the more traditional way of a dude proposing to me. Somehow, taking the man's role in that situation just didn't sit well with me.
May 3rd, 2011
10:40 am
Stand up for yourself and those in your care, know who you are, stand in the gap, do not let a woman define to you what a man is, handle your business.
If you question yourself on your manhood, you have some issues. If your woman questions your manhood, you have even more issues. If you have to explain your manhood to someone in doubt of it, you are a lost cause.
May 3rd, 2011

Men these days are soft, whiny and "get their feelings hurt" every time the wind changes direction
And you know how I feel about the emotional man!
May 3rd, 2011

"Yup, exactly. Lazy and proud of it. Times have changed." – Lazy is too nice of description for that punk.
"Like, I have no doubt I could have some sugar daddy paying my bills if I wanted to…but as a woman of character…why would I want to?" – Exactly Ared, I overheard this chick bragging about her man (not husband) giving her a BMW and one of her friends asked her are you afraid that he will take it back like he did the other car and ole girl said naw I will just get it back again and maybe one day your man will give you a BMW. I just shook my head.

And yes, the women raising men is definitely a problem. But we also have to look to the men abandoning their families too.

May 3rd, 2011

The guy that Wise was talking to is just an old hater. Why do I call him a hater? Because part of his game was to talk down about other men. And no matter what you are never supposed to talk bad about another man to make yourself look better.
May 3rd, 2011

"You Tarzan, Me Jane" – Zipppppppp He African American Dolphin!

Somehow, taking the man's role in that situation just didn't sit well with me.
but if today's tweens, teens and 20-somethings don't see a prob with that, what will man/woman roles be in another generation or two?
May 3rd, 2011
10:46 am
'But we also have to look to the men abandoning their families too.'
That is definitely an issue but we can't leave out the situations where someone is trying to force a family on the other. You can't leave what wasn't yours or there to begin with….i.e Trifling chicks.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - The Rutgers women's volleyball team has competed in eight matches this spring, compiling a mark of 5-2-1. All matches were in a best-of-three format.
The Scarlet Knights, who finished last season with a 17-11 overall record, 6-7 in the BIG EAST, started the spring at the Fordham Tournament on March 29. The squad went 2-1, defeating Iona, 30-16 and 30-23 and Fordham, 28-30, 30-20, 15-10, while falling to Seton Hall in its first match of the spring, 30-28, 22-30, 16-18.
The Scarlet Knights, most recently, competed at the University of Pennsylvania Tournament on April 5. There, RU began the tournament by tying Villanova, 22-25 and 25-23. Rutgers then swept two consecutive matches, over Bucknell (25-21, 25-18) and Lehigh (25-17, 25-21). Those two victories landed Rutgers in the semifinals against Temple, a team Rutgers defeated in five highly competitive games last fall. The semifinal match-up would be tight, as well. Rutgers gained the victory again, in three games, 21-25, 25-22 and 15-6.
In the championship game, against Villanova, the Wildcats won a one-game final, 30-28.
The UPenn Tournament was filled with many tremendous individual performances for Rutgers. The team's hitting percentage was .322, with sophomore Dawn Christjaener (Huntionton Beach, CA) leading with a .341 percentage. Freshman Ashleigh Young (Albany, OR) hit .320, while sophomore Addie Thiry (Louisville, KY) hit .305.
Junior Shayla Bush (Spokane, WA), last season's team MVP, led the team with 34 kills on the day, while sophomore Stephanie Travioli (Arlington, TX) added 28 kills. Thiry and Young each tallied eight blocks, while Christjaener accrued six service aces.
The Scarlet Knights will face a tough schedule in 2003, but will play 11 home matches, including the Clarion Suites Classic, hosted by Rutgers, on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12 and 13. The tournament will also include St. Peter's, George Washington and Delaware. Last season, the Scarlet Knights played at home just seven times.

Tumbledown are just finishing up their first mini west coast tour of the year. Last night, they hit up the OC Sports Grill in Anaheim, CA and treated the audience to a good ol' dose of alt-country (along with a couple of MxPx tracks for good measure). Always a good time. Check out some photos below!
And if ya missed them this time around, the guys will be back next month. Catch those dates at tumbledownhq.com!
It's been a year of nonstop touring for MxPx/Tumbledown's Mike Herrera. He's keeping it up with yet another tour starting this week. Reforming the MxPx All-Stars with a new lineup (now featuring Jose Garzon and Harley Trotland), he'll be bringing the band down to South America for two weeks worth of shows. And if that wasn't enough, his alt-country project, Tumbledown, will be opening.
Check the dates below.
There's a new intern floating around the Vans office by the name of Rachel Clare. She loves good music, so I like her. And you should, too. Last week she went to check out a Social Distortion and Tumbledown show, two of Vans favorites, and got some great shots you guys can check out. Welcome to the team, Rachel and here's to more of your shots!
Social Distortion @ Hollywood Palladium, January 29, 2011
Tumbledown @ Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, January 25th, 2011
Tumbledown is currently wrapping up a few shows in Japan before heading back for 3 weeks of shows. If you are lucky enough to be on the west side of the states or in Mexico, get to one of these shows. As for the rest of us, let's hope the band have a nation-wide tour up their sleeves this year!

Daytrotter, a website that features music sessions from a massive variety of artists, recently had Tumbledown in their studio. The website has a different band session available everyday- which leaves 28 free songs a week for all of us to enjoy for free. On behalf of everyone who likes good music, thanks for bringing TB in!
Tumbledown's session features new, live recordings of "Butcher of San Antone," "Let's Drink," "State Line" and "Son of a Gun." To download the set, you must register for the site (all of which is free). If you don't feel like downloading the tracks, you can simply stream them.
And don't forget to pick up TD's latest release Empty Bottle with these awesome packages- like an MP3 download, autographed poster and a t-shirt for $15.
Tumbledown, Mike Herrera's country/rockabilly band, has released their latest video today. The single is "Arrested In El Paso Blues" from the upcoming album Empty Bottle (available for pre-order).The song was inspired by the band actually getting arrested in El Paso that nearly forced them to miss a show in Dallas. Check it out:
Need to hear another song from the album? Starting Friday, October 22nd, AltPress.com will unveil the title track "Empty Bottle" exclusively.
Check out who we caught up with when we did our massive gifting at SXSW:
Ninjasonik, Tumbledown, Hey Monday, The Cab, Zlam Dunk, Riverboat Gamblers, Rise Against, The Death Set, Shawn Fisher, Hill Valley, Conditions, Title Fight, Every Avenue and of course, Oliver Peck.
Last night was our first night in Austin for SXSW. Keeping in mind that I've never been before, I'm sticking close to everyone from Vans- espeically Kurt since we're the music duo. Team Soto-Mink ftw!
We pick up all of our badges and caught up with our friends from Epitaph which is always a good time. Since the music section of SX didn't start until the following day, I was surprised that we were already to some shows!
Our first was Motorhead. How's that for an opening night? The place was packed and the show kicked ass. Of course.
Afterward, Kurt and I spent the rest of the night at Red 7. Our friends True Widow were on the stage when we got there. Mike Herrera's newest project Tumbledown played not too long after. Holy. Crap. So good! Oliver Peck even jumped on stage to sing a little.
But after Tumbledown was when it got really crazy. Mike Herrera of MXPX, Zach Blair of Rise Against, Luke Abbey from Gorilla Biscuits, members from Riverboat Gamblers and Scott Renyolds of All banded together to play an entire Descendants cover set. Yes, you read that correctly. The crowd was gnarly! I got thrashed around a bit while taking some footage for you guys, but it's all in the name of reporting, music and freaking punk rock. Enjoy!
Mike Herrera has been busy with his latest endeavor Tumbledown- a folk Americana/alt country quartet who has been blending old school riffs and twangs harking back to Hank Williams and Johnny Cash with the punk mentality of his other, more known band MxPx. It's practically the perfect concoction.
They made a guest appearance on Warped Tour last summer and since then I've been waiting to see them again. Thankfully, the band has just announced a tour across the mid and far west that shouldn't go unattended. Really- any band who offers shotglasses as merch deserves to be checked out (sorry, but they are actually sold out of them at the moment).

In Memory of Charles and Beth Printz
Shepherd University has lost two of its great community members. Mr. Charles F. Printz, Shepherd College Class of 1940 and professor emeritus of business administration, passed away on September 30, 2011, followed by his wife of 66 years, Bethel Hottel Printz, three weeks later on October 20, 2011.
Mr. Printz was instrumental in the development of Shepherd's business program and served as chair of the Division of Business Administration for much of his tenure. He is responsible for the establishment of Shepherd's chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity. Up until his passing, he served as treasurer of the Scarborough Society board of directors.
Beth was Charles' faithful companion, often by his side at events in addition to her own civic involvement with the Shepherdstown community. After his retirement, Charles and Beth traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
The directors and staff of the Shepherd University Foundation and the Scarborough Society remember Charles and Beth with admiration and affection.

Everyone in the world knows the Giants will run over right guard on 4th and 1 and everybody knows how to stop Mike Scifres Jersey. With a compressed regular season, many experts predicted the playoffs would come down to who was healthiest. Oshiomogho Atogwe forced the 20th fumble of his career. "Brandon Weeden Jersey just marvel at him," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. Both drafted quarterbacks high in the first round in the 2009 draft.

Kyle Busch started the day as the points leader but saw trouble on lap 50 when he blew a right front tire and crashed in turn two. He quotes line coach Russ Grimm on Adam Snyder: "He was tops on our free agent list as far as offensive line was concerned. Five other teams have just three losses-the Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Clippers.There is a convergence of two powerful and growing social forces:1.

If you were Miami, wouldn't you prefer almost anyone in the entire world taking a shot in that situation besides Nowitzki? Has he not proven himself yet? Is there some sort of question in Coach Spoelstra's mind as to wether or not Jon Hoese Jersey's got the guts to take and make a big shot?? Why on earth would Miami allow single coverage on the man who is currently owning the title of "big shot maker" in these playoffs? Scottie Brooks who won Coach of The Year in the NBA for the 2009-2010 season had the same strategy in the Western Conference Finals and Dirk absolutely torched the Thunder."Of course, you would love to have those guys back, but at the same time Cheap Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey do understand that Darryl Sharpton Jersey is a business,,, Ariza said.

 Most of that success can be attributed to Laurinaitis' play in coverage in the middle of the field. This prescription works if Chris Douglas Jersey work Edwin Williams Jersey, mess around with Spencer Larsen Jersey on a daily basis, slowly. Even if at one point Keenan Lewis Jersey truly did care more about being President than selling books he now seems to have a higher cause and that is making sure that Romney does not become the candidate.The Suns' best shot is beating out Utah and Houston (32-31) for the eighth spot, a situation helped by the fact that the Suns hold the tiebreaker against both teams.

Pro-Tip: Model Minority is neither a compliment nor something to revel in.
The creation of the "Model Minority" stereotype was promulgated by white supremacist power structures (including xenophobic immigration laws).
It was meant to divide Asian Americans from other POC, particularly from Black folks, and still keep us as an 'other' while using us as a weapon against other POC. It is a tool that marginalizes our own narratives and realities and shits on people within Asian American communities as well.
It's divisive, damaging, and a perpetuation of racist power structures that were unsettled by the prospects of militant POC organizing and standing together against white supremacy and structural racism.
This blog does not support reveling in model minority (aka anti-Black, white supremacist endearing) speech, actions, or bullshit.

Teaching I.B. Singer's Old Jews and Their Moral Tales at a Catholic College
Are the lessons and pleasures of the Yiddish master's 'The Son From America' lost on a new generation?
The next evening, Samuel strides out for a walk and a smoke but remembers that a pleasurable cigar is forbidden on the Sabbath. Seeking company, he enters the shul where an old man sits reciting psalms. He asks the man if he is praying, to which the old fellow claims there is nothing else to do at his advanced age. Samuel inquires if the old man "makes a living." Hard of hearing, the pious fellow replies, "If God gives health, one keeps on living."
Samuel is later alone with his mother while his father leaves for evening prayers. Berlcha sings a "solemn" welcome to the coming week as the Sabbath ends: "Let it be one of health, wealth, and good deeds." To which Samuel replies, "Mother, you don't need to pray for wealth. … You are wealthy already." It is here that my students and I part company in our interpretations.
To the majority of my students, Samuel has revealed himself as an American materialist. To them, Samuel is saying that his mother needn't pray for wealth since she and his father have all that money he's been sending them all these years. Singer has set them up to this belief: Didn't Samuel view the gold coins as a "treasure" that his father could have used to buy things, to take trips, or to impose improvements on the town? Berlcha in fact turns away from her son when he reminds her that she is "wealthy already," as if his comment is an embarrassment. And then, Singer has Samuel touch the passport, checkbook, and letters of credit he keeps in his jacket pocket. Says the narrator, "He had come here with big plans. He had a valise filled with presents for his parents. He wanted to bestow gifts on the village"—more proof of the materialist ethos of Americans.
But I saw it differently. If Samuel's encounter with the pious old Jew in the synagogue does not produce some interior echo, if Samuel at the end of the story is insensitive to the spiritual integrity of his parents and their neighbors, then Singer is painting a portrait of an American Jew, presumably from the very town in which he himself was born, as a moral oaf. I thought not, but I also wasn't sure. To me, the old Jew's misunderstanding reply about how he makes "a living" teaches Samuel, our "American" protagonist, a fundamental truth: "God gives us our very living."
So, when Samuel tells his mother she is "wealthy already," he is no longer referring to the cache of gold coins she and Berl have hidden for decades. Instead, the comfortable Jewish avatar from New York appreciates the spiritual wealth of the home his mother and father maintain. When he touches the documents in his pocket that signify his own American material comfort, it is with a sense of rue—he recognizes the failure of his intentions to help those who, thanks to the proud integrity of their simple lives, do not require his aid or that of the distant Lentshin Society that, founded in the New World, has lost touch with the soil from which its membership grew.
The word wealth is intentionally ambiguous, but it is not the only thing to turn over. The reason Samuel's visit to Lentshin comes as a surprise is that the cable he sent did not arrive in time to announce him. Indeed, Berl asks, "Why didn't you let us know that you were coming?" When Samuel asks if he received the cable, the narrator informs us simply: "Berl did not know what a cable was."
Singer's narrator has already informed us that the old couple does not believe in "newfangled gadgets"—and therefore they have no kerosene lamps: "What was wrong with a wick in a dish of oil?" Thus, they turn their backs on modernity, stubbornly adhering to the old ways. Unlike my students, who see Berl and Berlcha's uncompromising adherence to cultural and religious tradition through Singer's admiring golden haze, I see this resistance as both admirable and foolhardy. In the end, the cable arrives—"a gentile from Zakroczym brought a paper"—the next day after the Sabbath meal.
I did not remind my class that 40 more years after the story is set, modernity would catch up with shtetls like Lentshin. The Nazis would march in, its Jews would be removed, they would die en masse. "Modernity"—the cruel mechanized killing of the 20th century, would catch up with all the Berls and Berlchas, and they would be unprepared for it.

When I answer "No" he usually replies "good, you don't need it"
I don't smoke pot or drink alcohol anymore. I seem to do just fine without it. It doesn't bother me when other people do though. The hippies around here tend to be easy going, happy people. Some might seem a little bit unusual, but who am I to talk."
No judgment here. I did it all. Just not very successfully. I used up my quota. I was the general manager for a Yankee Doodles sports bar sober for the Bartollini family. It was a good job. I still take pride in making my wife's margaritas a little strong makes for a fun night.:D Some of that stuff probably adds to big foot sightings and tasty fry bread.
I'm game... I have the long hair part covered.

NEW YORK The resignation of Mary Schapiro as chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this past week could have interesting consequences for the regulators decision on the proposed BlackRock Inc. physical copper exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Schapiro was one of a four-person group that voted to approve JPMorgan Chase & Co.s physical copper ETF on Dec. 14, one of her final acts before stepping down (amm.com, Dec. 17).
If the group didnt vote unanimously, her removal from the decision-making process on the proposed BlackRock product could potentially swing the voteto be made by the three remaining membersin another direction.
The lawyer representing a consortium of copper consumers and a metals-focused hedge fund opposed to the ETFs has requested the JPMorgan vote result under the Freedom of Information Act.
Robert Bernstein, a partner at New York law firm Eaton & Van Winkle LLP, which represents the copper consumers, said the fate of the BlackRock ETF now rests in the hands of three people.
The consortium includes Southwire Co., Carrollton, Ga.; Encore Wire Corp., McKinney, Texas; London-based Luvata UK Ltd.; AmRod Corp., Newark, N.J.; and metals-focused hedge fund RK Capital Management LLC, London.
Schapiro has been replaced as chairman by SEC Commissioner Elisse Walter.

Kagan Park & Pelican Lake, Juno Bch
|Palm Beach, FL
Print Leave a comment
Kagan Park has a nice playground in a slightly recessed area by a small lake called Pelican Lake. Kids enjoy the twisty slide, while adults shoot hoops at the basketball court or work on their muscles at the workout stations. There is a pleasant walking path that makes a loop around the perimeter of Pelican Lake. There are benches shaded by trees along the way. Unfortunately the ducks there are a nuisance. Also, the "beware of alligators" signs make you feel uneasy as you stand near the brackish water. A seventy-pound alligator was spotted here in May 2007 and then trapped in July 2007, and no one knows how it got to this small lake that does not open to any rivers.
The lake path is short (one mile) and easy which makes it nice for kids on scooters, as long as they aren't scared of the large, confident ducks. The lake has fountains in it and gazebos where you can sit and enjoy the views across the water. It isn't a beautiful spot but pretty enough for a stroll. One short section of the walkway follows the sidewalk alongside Ocean Dr but soon winds back down to the lake. There are bollard lights along the path so you can walk at night as well.
After your walk, eat at County Line Pizza, on the northwest corner of Donald Ross Rd and Highway 1- when you walk in, you can just smell how amazing your pasta or pizza is going to be!
