"lost job" need advice
The hardest part is finding people to pay for your work whatever it is. I too have a machine shop and can get lots of work but i can't get any at 50 or 60 bucks an hour. But i can do all the small jobs the bigger shops turn away and still make a few bucks. But there is no way i could support my house with it...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Dwayne, Sorry to here about your misfortune. It sounds like your way ahead of most folks who have found themselves in this position.It would be a good idea to talk to an accountent to get the bookwork set up the right way from the get go.You need to decided in what spacific direction you'd like to go and pound the pavement, visit shops and businesses. talk, talk, talk to friends, family, and even strangers. Stay flexable but don't loose your direction. Find out about your competition, rates, services offerd etc. Don't work to cheap, an hourly rate is easier then bidding on jobs, espeically when starting out. Keep the overhead as low as possible, very important. Also back away from pushy people. Thats just a small percent from the school of hard knocks.Good luck to you.
After 35 years you shoulda been set for retirement???????

More stuff than I can keep track of..
I all just depends on how good you are at promoting yourself.
There are plenty of skilled craftsmen out there who simply need a boss.
There are plenty of very diciplined business people out there who do the money right and have all the bases covered... but just plain out suck at finding work.
Many guys who always worked for "the man" have a whole bunch of idealistic views about the right way to run a business.
There are guys out there that truly SUCK at what they do and still stay covered up and make loads of money because they know how to get the business.
What type of welding and machining are you good at, and what is it that people in your area will pay for??? If they match up, and you fill the bill, you may just have to retire all over again someday!!

I'm sorta in the same boat as you (well it started in 2003) But i was let go from a job because my wife had a seisure and they said i couldn't go to the hospital till after work so i told them i was done with work right then. This was for a corporation owned by blockbuster that is in the autoparts industry, i had benefits, 401k, health insurance, paid vacation the works.. now vacation is when i don't have work, it's not paid and health insurance is a matter of how much money is in my wallet LOL
After that we (the wife and I) opened a small home painting business which quickly became rather sucessfull due to the fact that i knew some people in the home building trade. Then in 2005 I tore my ACL,MCL and ruptured the meniscus in 5 places and was laid up for 2 months waiting on surgery then there was 7 more months of wearing a brace, physical therapy and the like. Well, by the time i got back in the swing of things the housing market had plumeted around here and my one and only contract builder went under himself leaving me with only retail work to find and that's when things got hard.
Over the next few years I took painting jobs with companies that understood i was only going to be working when i didn't have business myself (about 80% of the time at that point) and with their help and my will to work, chase work ans self promote constantly, my painting business took back off, just not to the extent it was before my injury.
Well, by this time i had bought a mill/lathe, a bandsaw, MIG welder and a ton of other metal working tools because that was my favorite hobby, then as the painting business went on I decided to open a new division so to speak and with the purchase of about 9k dollars worth of new welding and fab equipment I took the plunge and opened my doors to the public for welding and fab work ( i had always done stuff for the local guys i knew from the track already) So i started going to the track with my mobile rig, talking to racers and drumming up work. Then as things started picking up i just started going more and more places promoting what i do (and at some points i was even too broke to have business cards, but people who had heard of me through friends were willing to bring me work once they met me, and with that refferals to their friends became common.
NOw days i still paint when the work is there, but i constantly have some sort of project in my welding/fab shop and i'm just straight up with the customers telling them to expect 60 an hour ( but honest hours, no beer time) and on those occasions where i felt i could just ask a set sum instead of an hourly rate the customers were estatic and just kept coming back and telling more and more people.
Now mind you this took countless hours of phone calls, millions of crap jobs you would other wise not do except to help get your name out and a bunch of other jobs i would have rather not taken, now here it is 2 years since i went public with it and i'm making more money from my basement and garage than i would in any average week working for some one else ( i run the taxes under my contractor license for the painting business)
Now also keep in mind self employment brings it's own hardships, you have no insurance, you can't call in sick, you don't have "set hours" you work when work is there and you're nice to the customer to the best of your ability even if they annoy the crap out of you, you have to act like their best friend when talking with them and doing the work and making sure it's exactly what they want. Then you've got to keep track of all funds and bills, incoming and outgoing and make sure you're on top of it as this is what can easily sink a business suring the first tax season if you don't spend enough to offset your income and then have to pay thousands in taxes to the govt because you didn't have enough deductions.... My deductions for painting business were getting low as profits increased and this is another reason the new "T.G. Industries" wing was born as this allowed me to buy non-painting related items on my contractors tax ID and not get questioned about how it fits into my business by my accountant and tax guy.
The best and cheapest way to get started if you already have equipment is to go to office max/office depot and get some avery clean snamp businss card paper and print up a batch of decent looking cards and just start handing them out EVERYWHERE, talk to EVERYONE, and have no shame in promoting what you do as it's the only way you'll make it
I think i fall in between the 2 categories FusionKing brings up, while i don't make tons of money i do manage to get by, but am usually on call from 7 am to 10 PM just incase the business pops up. I'm not the best at drumming up business as there's still a lot of untapped markets i'm just trying to figure out how to get into. And one thing i can say that helps is to be clean cut, well spoken and very outgoing and friendly with the ability to talk to ANYONE
I would dare to say that self employment is the hardest job you'll ever have, but once you have a taste of the freedome, pride, and good paying jobs you'll never want to work for "the man" again.
I started at a rate of 40 bucks an hour + materials+ consumables (learned in the auto world to charge for anything you can when you need to)
Now i just charge a flat 60 an hour which includes materials i have in stock, or unless the project requires a decent amount of material to be obtained.
advertise in every sector from home repairs (fences to fireplaces) and from construction equipment to custom auto/motorcycle fab. Just give everyone cards, tell them you'll do them a fair deal and try nad keep a few examples of your work available to show case what your skills are and people WILL find reasons to call you... If you just say "here's my card, I'm a weldor" you won't drum up much, but if you ramble on about every littltle thing you can do while chatting with potential clients yuou'll most likely spark something in their memory that needs your skill to be fixed, and although you may have to go cheap in the beginning to get that bussiness, it won't be long before you can charge full shop labor (around here its' anywwhere from 65 - 85 dollars an hour + whatever other charge said shop decides to tack on) I just always tell my customers "no matter what i bet i'll be a little cheaper and just as good as other said place they were thinking about going. But also there are times when it's best to reffer some one to another person if you feel that you or your equipment are not up to completing the task at hand to a satisfactory level.
hope that helps, it's a bit of a book i know, but this is how i became self employed to this dayDynasty 200DX

Your success working as an independent will be determined by: (in order of importance)
1. Ambition & Drive
2. Common sense & I.Q.
3. Luck
Humans are "born with" #1 and #2 (i.e. they can't really be taught, you either have them or you don't). And #3 is obviously out of your control too.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but you need to be realistic. If you were born with a lot of natural ambition/drive and have good common sense and a decent I.Q., then give it a go and you are likely to be successful. Otherwise, you are not likely to succeed.
Of course the final problem is that most people don't have the introspective skills to even evaluate themselves objectively with regard to ambition, drive, common sense, and I.Q. There is a reason why the vast majority of people work at companies for a "boss". Not everyone is cut out to start up a business and run it successfully.miller dynasty 350

You'll find that corporations are structured in such a way that they can claim that subsidiaries are completely separate entities, and they scatter employees all over specifically to beat the rules that apply to large corporations and qualify for exceptions intended for small businesses. However, any good lawyer can "pierce the corporate veil" and make them answer for their actions.
Even if it was ruled FMLA was not applicable, what would a jury think when they learned you were fired for attending to your wife after a seizure?
The thing that worries me is that honest hard working people do not utilize their right to their day in court when they should. It's always some slack-jawled yokel that never worked a day in his life that gets a huge settlement for slipping in the parking lot.
And when the scales tip enough toward that yokel and his sheister, our rights will be "tort reformed" little by little until your only 2 choices are staying at work while your wife is in the hospital, or losing your job to manage her care and sign consent forms, etc.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.

Who would of thought the Nationals and Mets would be at the top of the NL East?
Marlins win 5-4 in 11. Take the series 2-1. Hanley was beast today.
Marlins beat the Cubs. JJ had a ND but pitched way better. Heath Bell gets his first save as a Marlin and Hanley is in beast mode, he jacked a 3 run HR
Marlins up 5-0 in the bottom of the 6th. Good pitching by Buehrle. Hanley continue to be in beast mode. Let's keep it together and get the win
Marlins win 9-1. Buehrle gets his first win and this is the hitting I expected from this team. We're now at .500
Bring out the brooms! Miami sweep the Cubs! We win 5-3
Zambrano pitched a great game but no run support...we drop to the Nats 2-0
Once again..good pitching but the bats don't show. LoMo tied it up with a 2-run jack but that was it. Sanchez pitched good. Miami woes continue.

text: Article | Journal of Economics & Management Strategy | Spring 2013 Salience in Quality Disclosure: Evidence from the U.S. News College Rankings Michael Luca and Jonathan Smith How do rankings affect demand? This paper investigates the impact of college rankings, and the visibility of those rankings, on students' application decisions. Using natural experiments from U.S. News and World Report College Rankings, we present two main findings. First, we identify a causal impact of rankings on application decisions. When explicit rankings of colleges are published in U.S. News, a one-rank improvement leads to a 1-percentage-point increase in the number of applications to that college. Second, we show that the response to the information represented in rankings depends on the way in which that information is presented. Rankings have no effect on application decisions when colleges are listed alphabetically, even when readers are provided data on college quality and the methodology used to calculate rankings. This finding provides evidence that the salience of information is a central determinant of a firm's demand function, even for purchases as large as college attendance.

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is director Paul Greengrass's multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates.
It is – through Greengrass's distinctive lens – simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi).
Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control.
"This is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life action thriller can do." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Yet another Greengrass masterpiece. And it reveals why there have been so many: Behind the director's dispassionate, unfailingly rigorous lens lies an enormous, unfailingly compassionate heart." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"The piercingly realistic "Captain Phillips" will exceed your expectations." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Theo Riddick is playing here in Miami this evening, he is quite the player, and the kind of weapon offenses are adding to their firepower in today's passing game. As you can read in the attached article Jeff, Jonas Gray speaks very highly of Riddick, maybe you can bring him into your office and he can tell you a little bit more about him.
All kidding aside, Gray likes the way Riddick handled adversity while they were teammates, and this is a kid I think will be a much better player than his draft spot would suggest. I am really interested to see how Brian Kelly uses him this evening, and how much respect Nick Saban shows for him, in how much attention he pays to slowing down Riddick. I don't see a scenario where Notre Dame is victorious tonight without Theo Riddick having an impact for their offense.

thats what im saying, everyone here complains about how bad our offense stinks and talks about how good our d-line is but yet they still want to draft Pass rushers in the 1st round lmao. So lets see, you have a weak terrible offense and you'd rather draft for your defense of line first? the best unit on the team? it makes no sense at all and one has to be wondering if jeff ireland is as a clueless as well. I think too many people on here get to obsessed with the camerons wakes of the world, yes hes good but he doesnt exactly generate turnovers folks.
Complaints from a daily dolphins fan
- "We have no Weapons on offense" my view - Than draft a WR in the early rounds but ofcourse you would prefer a pass rusher!
- "We have no play makers in our secondary" My view - Than draft a High rated CB from a top college in the early rounds but ofcourse you would rather draft a pass rusher!
Compliments of a daily dolphins fan
- "we have one of the best Defense of lines in the nfl, its stout vs the run!" my view- Than leave it alone and address more important needs like WR/CB but ofcourse you would rather draft a pass rusher!!!
In conclusion i think this team is cursed from top to bottom, the fans to the gms to the owners, its the indian burial grounds, we are a clumsy fall down on everyplay run into owns teammates on the field and even touchback our own punters perfect kicks inside the 5. I believe in this curse and i think its just too strong to get rid off. /frustratedfan

grotesque / theme
Distortion of face and form make for unsettling abnormality. Mockery, mimicry, and parody bulge and warp a once-familiar figure. Gargoyles gaping, half-human monsters draped like dead men, spidery gothic shadows. The grotesque is eerie, creepy, and frightful, but its crevices hide enough weird beauty or black humor, to make it not quite the stuff of horror.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Loyola's graduate programs in literacy emphasize a strong foundation in reading and the development of leadership skills. In this program, you'll prepare not only to meet the needs of struggling readers, but also to assume leadership positions within your school. The programs emphasize a strong theoretical understanding of the reading process as well as practical application with K-12 students.
Coursework employs research-based practices that directly address the literacy needs of struggling students in the 21st century. Throughout the program, courses are supported by hands-on experience. You will participate in a culminating summer practicum where you will work intensely with individual students and their parents. You will conduct full diagnostic assessments, prepare individualized instructional programs, work with students based on the individual programs, evaluate the effects of the instruction, and write complete case studies for each student.
Loyola's graduate programs in reading prepare you to assess, diagnose, and instruct K-12 students as well as provide leadership to other school professionals and parents. The program consists of a comprehensive 33-credit course of study that has been approved by the Maryland State Department of Education.
This program is designed for certified teachers or teachers with a minimum of three years PK through grade 12 teaching experience, who wish to become more knowledgeable about literacy. (Note: MSDE requires three years of classroom experience and certification or eligibility for certification in Maryland to be certified as a reading specialist).
The literacy education program may be taken full-time (to be completed in 18-24 months) or part-time (to be completed in 2-5 years). Those who pursue full-time enrollment options are expected to dedicate their time to the fast-paced schedules of a demanding and rigorous courseload. Part-time options offer a self-paced opportunity to complete requirements over a longer period of time with courses delivered at times of the day that are convenient to full-time work schedules.
You must complete each block before proceeding to the next block. Courses from the preceding block are prerequisites for the blocks that follow. Courses within a block may be taken in any order unless otherwise stated.

Shoshone North, Idaho 75 Project
Project FactsKey Number: 7699
Project Number: STP-2390(131)
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is proposing a major widening and re-alignment of Idaho75 from the city of Shoshone to Thorn Creek Road (mileposts 74-82).
Project BackgroundIn the late 1990s, ITD considered improvements to Idaho 75 north of Shoshone to Timmerman Hill to increase traffic capacity and improve safety. Engineers determined that only the first eight miles of roadway north of Shoshone needed significant improvements. The remaining 20 miles are adequate to safely handle existing traffic.
Reduced funding will extend the planning and construction schedule into multiple phases. The first phase, with construction expected to begin in 2012, will build new bridges and one lane in each direction through the proposed corridor. Funding will determine scheduling of subsequent phases which will be a four-lane divided roadway with turn bays and additional safety features. Right of way for entire build out has been acquired.
Project Description
When this project is complete, the project on Idaho 75 from Shoshone to near Mammoth Cave (milepost 74-82) will:
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2012 with bridge construction to take place during the winter of 2012-13. The existing roadway will remain open to traffic throughout much of the construction project and will be demolished following completion of the new road.

Drag Me to Hell
Horror, Suspense/Thriller
Christine Brown is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, Professor Clay Dalton. Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home. In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

Flurer's Truck Hat Trick at the 2013 Psycho Nitro Blast
Flurer's Truck Hat Trick at the 2013 Psycho Nitro Blast
March 26, 2013
Event Name: Psycho Nitro Blast VI -- The Evisceration
Event Location: Unadilla, GA
Event Date(s): March 22, 2013 to March 24, 2013
The Psycho Nitro Blast has become the largest spectacle for RC racing in the southeast United States. Taking place in a rodeo arena, the event collected over 608 combined entries of nitro and electric racers. A near, round-the-clock schedule utilizing 10-minute qualifiers made the event a true test of man and machine. With a grueling track and schedule, the attrition rate wears on the cars and people. The sacrificial punishment appears to be all the rage -- people keep digging it and the event keeps growing every year.
Young driver and ex-moto racer Blake Pickett is no stranger to racing against Max, as both drivers come out of central North Carolina. Blake was able to grab a win in A1 of E-truggy, with Max determined to come back strong in A2. In the second main, Flurer started from his TQ spot and never looked back, leading flag to flag, putting in a perfect run to secure the main, win, and the overall win by winning the tie-breaker. Taking his third win of the event completed the hat trick for Flurer with three wins for each of the electric truck classes offered.

Thats pretty much a third our cap.
Actually Clumpy seems to think we will have the best cap situation in the AFC east. Really after those guys it's mostly minimum players outside of about 4 or 5 cases. Also howard won't be making that kinda money next year unless he plays much much better, Madison could end up cut depending on his play in Saban's system he might just add another CB to the Will Poole, Travis Daniels mix.

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a rare disease that occurs mainly in people with advanced acute kidney failure or those who are receiving dialysis. The disease causes extensive patches of thickened and hardened skin. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis can also affect internal organs, such as the heart, kidneys and lungs, and it can cause a disabling shortening of muscles and tendons in the joints (joint contracture).
For some people with advanced kidney disease, being exposed to gadolinium-containing contrast agents during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been identified as a trigger for development of this disease. Recognition of this link has dramatically reduced the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis may resemble skin diseases, such as scleroderma and scleromyxedema, with thickening and darkening developing on large areas of the skin.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends not using gadolinium-containing contrast agents in people with acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease. The highest risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after gadolinium exposure occurs in people who:
This increased risk is thought to be related to the reduced ability of these people's kidneys to remove the contrast agent from the bloodstream. Prolonged exposure to high levels of gadolinium may possibly trigger nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis can begin days to months after exposure to gadolinium-containing contrast, but progresses quickly. The condition is generally long term (chronic), but some patients may improve. In a few people, it can cause severe disability, even death. The disease occurs in people of all ages, but usually strikes in middle age.
Although more research is needed, possible conditions that may lead to or promote the disease when severe kidney disease and exposure to gadolinium-containing contrast are present include:
Some signs and symptoms of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis include:
In some people, involvement of muscles and body organs may cause:
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is also associated with failure of kidney transplant.

Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., ranks among the Best Hospitals for kidney disorders by U.S. News & World Report.

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Diagnosis of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is made by:
There is no cure for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, and no treatment is consistently successful in halting or reversing the progression of the disease. The lesions may be more treatable earlier in the disease course, but less treatable after muscles are affected. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis only occurs rarely, making it difficult to conduct large studies.
Mayo Clinic doctors have experience with the following treatments for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. More research is needed to determine if these treatments help, but they have shown limited success in some people.
These medications have been shown to help some people, but their side effects limit their use. More research is needed to determine if these options help:
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral.

Anthony Hamilton is adamant his "moral compass" is pointing in the right direction as while he may "swerve the truth", he will not lie.
Speaking on the second day of his wrongful termination of contract case against Paul di Resta, Hamilton told the High Court that he would not do "anything illegal" nor would he lie for a client.
However, he would "swerve the truth" if it benefited his client.
"With their authority and for their benefit," he said when asked by di Resta's lead counsel, Paul Downes QC, if he would 'lie' for a client.
"Just to be clear. There is lying and there is swerving the truth. I wouldn't lie for any client but I would swerve the truth for a client."
Asked if he would "mislead", he stated that he would but only for the benefit of a client.
"I aim to use whatever I am entitled to do legally to get a better deal for my client. I am not prepared to do anything fraudulent.
"My moral compass says I would not do anything illegal for anybody else to put my own reputation in jeopardy."
The day's questioning also included money with Hamilton revealing that he was never paid by his son, Lewis Hamilton, during the time that he managed him.
"Some of us do it so that our kids have better opportunities than we had," he said.
"For the love of the child. When he won his title in 2008 he thanked me and that was all I needed for my 18 years of toil and graft."
However, when the two split at the start of 2010, Lewis offered his father $4m as a gift.
Explaining that, Hamilton said: "Maybe he was feeling guilty and wanted to say thank you to everybody. I never asked but he did propose to give me one."
Instead of taking the money for himself, though, Hamilton decided to put in an account in Guernsey under a company name of Belir Associates.
Pressed as to whether that was a 'pretty sophisticated way of concealing' the money, Hamilton said: "Why hide a gift? It is tax free.
"If I had wanted to hide it I would have just opened an account in the Cayman Islands."
The gift, however, was withdrawn for reasons that Hamilton would not disclose.
"I don't have the answer to that," he said.
"It just never happened. I am comfortable with it. It's not my business.
"If he says he's going to do something and he doesn't that's his loss. It's not my place to go money-grabbing."
The case will continue on Friday.

I've written a few times before (post #1, post #2) about my baseball card habit. I've picked up a number of cards since those posts but most recently, yellowsub and I bought four graded vintage packs. I know that you're not supposed to open them but we bought them to open them, not to preserve value. The packs we bought were: 1968 Topps GAI 7, 1969 Topps GAI 9.5, 1973 Topps PSA 8, 1973 Topps PSA 9. All of them are pictured below. I also took a picture of some of the cooler cards that I found. In addition to the good ones I found, yellowsub found some really good ones too (1969 Clemente among them).
We also took video of the pack breaks so I may edit that down and put it up on YouTube if there's any interest.

Old cemeteries are everywhere in New England and Vermont has its share of course.
Here is the epitaph on a headstone over Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, in northwestern Vermont:
"Here lies the body of our Anna, Done to death by a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, But the skin of the thing that made her go."

Recipe by Pillsbury® Crescents
"Ham and cheese crescents add an easy wow to a weeknight dinner, ready in just 25 minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) can
Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
8 thin slices
cooked ham
4 thin slices
Cheddar cheese, cut into strips
I made this as a quick lunch for the boys. I used swiss only because that was what I had on hand. My crescent rolls were also reduced fat. I made a homemade honey-mustard dressing to go with. They made quick work of these roll-up's--they were gone in less than ten minutes. Next time, I'll double the recipe.
Even though I usually like junk food, these things were way too greasy and salty for me. They would be a fun breakfast for my kids (ages 10 and 15) - but I would feel bad about feeding them these things. They left grease all over my fingers and the plate and gave me heartburn. They tasted just OK.

I just make one giant roll up to save on time, then cut it up.
Great recipe! They're perfect for a quick lunch or snack. I swear you could put just about anything in a Pillsbury Crescent Roll and it'll turn out great. I sometimes use Swiss cheese instead of Cheddar, but just about anything you have on hand will do in a pinch. My niece just loves these! She likes hers served with a side of ketchup and mustard for dipping....
This deserves 5 stars from a kid's point of view, but to add flavor, spread dough with a thin layer of your favorite mustard, or serve with honey-mustard dipping sauce.
I make these on sunday and put them in the fridge for breakfast during the week. They keep very well, are inexpensive to make especially when you compare them to the cost of a drive thru breakfast every day. Thanks for the great recipe!
These are great, so I am going to do pepperoni rolls with mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni tonight! then dip on pizza sauce
These disappear whether at home with my family or at parties. They are so fast and easy!

Greenbuild 2010: The Best Eco Designs From Day 1
This year's opening keynote speech was given by General Colin Powell, the former US Secretary of State. He focused on how the definition of leadership does not differ if you are talking about leading in the military, or leading in the green building movement. He said that leaders are those that change attitudes and behaviors and get inside the decision-making cycle, but also praise and recognize the followers that share their mutual purpose. Leaders also do not dwell on boundaries, but rather are optimists. In between light-hearted jokes, Powell's voice boomed with enthusiasm and pride in all who promote the green economy.
General Powell has been involved in several green initiatives in his retirement years, such as sponsoring a LEED Platinum apartment housing development in his impoverished boyhood neighborhood in the Bronx. Constructed by Habitat for Humanity, the building is named after General Powell and houses low- and middle-income families. Powell is also involved in a venture capital company that funds information technology and clean energy companies, like Bloom Energy. His speech was moving, engaging, and a great way to start the conference.

Whitney Stevens has some of the most beautiful brown doe eyes we've ever seen, but she also has another pair of something that blew us away. For an 18 year old, she sure has some huge tits! This fiery Italian teen hottie was so excited about sucking cock that she was playing with them before we even got started. She loved getting fucked between them too. But where this adorable gem of a teen really shines is in her fellatio skills-watch her give an incredible blowjob and eagerly take a facial on that gorgeous face and rub the rest into those ripe teen titties.

I-74 Restrictions Begin Monday
For Cable Barrier Installation
MARION COUNTY – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan to install median cable barrier on I-74 west of Indianapolis beginning Monday, December 10.
Installation of the cable barrier system will require left lane restrictions on I-74 in both directions between I-465 and Dandy Trail. Eastbound lane restrictions should be expected between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Westbound restrictions should be expected between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Walsh Construction, the state's contractor, expects installation of the cable barriers to be complete in approximately two weeks.
Cable barrier systems are lines of highly tensioned cables between anchored posts in the medians of roads. They are designed to control cross-median crashes, which produce half of all severe-outcome accidents and nearly two-thirds of fatal crashes nationwide. When applied correctly, cable barriers can be a cost-effective system to reduce the frequency and severity of cross-median collisions and save lives.
Since INDOT began the program in 2005, cable barriers have been installed in a majority of the 60-foot-wide grassy medians on Indiana's rural interstates.

Howdeshell, an infielder, currently plays at Volunteer State Community College, one of the top JC programs in the country. Last season as a freshman he helped lead Volunteer State to the TJCCAA Championship after being selected a captain, scoring 40 runs during the season. Howdeshell played his high school ball at Heritage High School in Maryville where he was a two-time all-state selection. He finished his high school career with a .442 batting average and stole 86 bases. "We are very excited and fortunate to add Andy to our 2001 fall recruiting class," said Skole. "He is considered one of the top JC players in the state and in the Southeast. Andy is a hard-nosed and aggressive player who can really run. His style of play will fit nicely into our system. "We are pleased to receive a player from Jeff Smith's successful program at Volunteer State. Year in and year out they are considered one of the top JC programs in the country. Andy will have an excellent opportunity to make an immediate contribution to the success of our program."
