Stephen Barker Liles couldn't decide who to take to the CMA Awards this year. He was torn between Kathie Lee Gifford, Dolly Parton and his mom — and he was hoping actress Megan Fox would decide to attend the ceremony so he could meet her, too. His mom won the coin toss (not that Kathie Lee and Dolly were serious contenders anyway).
Liles' self-engineered dilemma is a pretty fair representation of where he and his Love and Theft bandmates Brian Bandas and Eric Gunderson find themselves these days — teetering on the edge of fame, trying to figure out how to balance their Christian values with the temptations that go along with newfound celebrity.
"It's really hard," said Liles. "It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. That's why I feel so fortunate to be working with Eric and Brian, because we all hold each other accountable, and we all call each other out, and we make sure that we're all representing each other and the Lord the way we should. It's a struggle day in and day out, for sure. There's a lot of crazy stuff out there."
And as more fans discover the band's striking combination of alternative all-American good looks and their Restless Heart-meets-Eagles harmonies, it's likely to get crazier for the trio. And given their growing popularity at country radio, that time could be at hand.

Saturday, February 09, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 9, 2002) - Senior Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.) hit the 30-point mark for the second straight time at home, this time coming up with a career-high 36 points to lead East Tennessee State to an 85-78 win over Davidson in men's Southern Conference basketball action. The win was the fourth straight for the Bucs and pulled them within two games of the first place Wildcats in the North Division standings. At the beginning of the contest it looked as if it might be a long night for East Tennessee State (14-9, 7-5 SoCon) as the Bucs were held scoreless for the first 4:45 of the game. But Davidson could only manage to get a 4-0 lead in that time, and ETSU jumped back into the game on the strength of some impressive foul shooing. Shooting just 35.7 percent from the floor in the first half, the Bucs made up for it with a 20-of-21 (.952) performance from the free throw line, including hitting their first 16 attempts. Leading 10-8, ETSU rattled off an 11-5 run take a 21-13 lead with nine minutes left in the half. Childress hit four free throws during the run, with Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) adding a trey. ETSU held on to its lead until Davidson got hot from three-point range late in the half. Trailing by six, the Wildcats got three treys, two from Michael Bree, that highlighted a 17-5 run the gave them a 38-32 lead with 3:16 left. ETSU answered, however, closing out the half on a 9-2 run that gave the Bucs a 41-40 edge at the intermission on a pair of free throws from Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.) with 13 seconds left. ETSU picked up the pace at the start of the second half. Davidson took a brief two point lead, but the Bucs went on a 15-2 run that gave them a 60-49 lead at the 12:00 mark. Trailing 67-57, the Wildcats clawed back into it, holding the Bucs without a field goal over a three-minute span to cut the lead to 69-67 on a layup by Chris Pearson with five minutes to play. That was as close as Davidson would get, with ETSU upping the lead back to seven points on a trey by Childress at the 2:54 mark. ETSU then hit 11-of-12 free throws down the stretch to hold off the Wildcats and claim the win. Davidson shot 50.9 percent for the game to ETSU's 35.6 effort, but the Bucs shot .929 from the foul line, hitting 39-of-42 shots to hold Davidson at bay, setting a new school record for free throws made in a game. The previous mark was 36 set against Furman on Feb. 13, 1992. ETSU also had a 37-30 edge on the boards and took advantage of 20 Davidson turnovers, scoring 18 points off the miscues. Childress hit just 10-of-21 shots from the field, but buried all 14 of his free throws to account for his 36 points. Fields added 18 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the Bucs, while Lawson added 14 points. Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) led all players with nine rebounds. Davidson placed four players in double figures, led by Bree's 19 points. Wayne Bernard had 15, while Martin Ides added 14 and Chris Pearson chipped in 12. ETSU will next take on the second-place team in the North Division, hosting UNC Greensboro on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m. Davidson will host Georgia Southern on Feb. 13 at 7:00 p.m.

When I was in the sign bizz we did similar stuff but we usually sand blasted the relief. We used a product called Medex. Its like the MFD but waterproof. Its not easy to find every where but it makes a nice sign, and really nice work table tops. I can't get it here in Pa, I was told I would need to order a full pallet from Ca.
In Az we got it from a billiard table manufacturer. We added what we needed to their order when they would resupply. If you can find a source for Medex, you might want to try it out for the signs you are making.To all who contribute to this board.
My sincere thanks , Pete.

(Bloomberg) -- Morgan Stanley gave Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Gorman a compensation package for 2012 thats 30 percent less than his 2011 award, excluding a new incentive package, a person familiar with the decision said.
Gorman, 54, will get stock options valued at $2.6 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also will receive a $2.6 million deferred cash bonus in addition to his $800,000 salary, said the person, who asked not to be identified because Gormans total pay hasnt been announced.
Morgan Stanley cut 2012 costs 2 percent as revenue climbed 6.9 percent, excluding charges or gains related to changes in the price of the firms own debt. Still, the bank earned just a 5 percent return on equity, below both its cost of capital and Gormans goal of 15 percent.
Gorman is receiving options instead of restricted shares he was awarded for 2011. Hes also getting a new long-term incentive package separate from his year-end pay, which will have a similar structure to the performance shares he was awarded for 2010 and 2011, the person said. Even including the new package, his total compensation will be down from the $10.5 million he received for 2011, the person said.
Morgan Stanley shares climbed 26 percent in 2012, after tumbling 44 percent in 2011. The stock has gained about 18 percent this year, fueled by fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts estimates and Gormans plan to double the firms return on equity even without an improvement in markets.
Morgan Stanley is eliminating 1,700 jobs this month as Gorman pursues $1.6 billion of annual savings during the next two years. The New York-based firm is deferring all bonuses for employees who have both total pay of more than $350,000 and incentive compensation of at least $50,000, a person briefed on the matter said earlier this month.

Warning: Not fit for human consumption
This book contains foul language and fouler descriptions of life as a zombie. It will offend most anyone, so proceed with caution or not at all. And be forewarned: This is not a zombie book. This is a different sort of tale. It is a story about the unfortunate, about those who did not get away. It is a human story at its rotten heart. It is the reason we can't stop obsessing about these creatures, in whom we see all too much of ourselves.

Avid Zombie fan who's starting to listen to more and more Fantasy and Sci-Fi stories. So, my description is apt to change. Dog lover who's known to have cats. LOL C# coder, part-time prepper, B movie fan, AMC watcher, recovering but successful day trader, perpetual student, overjoyed uncle, former adrenaline junkie with a flare for cooking, and lots more. LOL
"why you DON'T want to be a zombie!"
if you're into the whole zombie genre and are looking for something different, then definitely give i, zombie a listen. the book is broken into 6 parts. the first 5 parts tell the story of people who have become zombies. each part follows 2 or 3 main characters. as they shamble around, looking for fresh meat, they recount parts of their lives. as a zombie, they are fully aware of what they're doing, but they can't stop their bodies. they have no control over their need to feed.
there is a wide assortment of characters with diverse backgrounds. believe it or not, there's a lot of character development in each part. each character is different and has their own unique story to tell. actually, there's a lot of emotion in this zombie book. what do i mean? i felt different emotions from the different stories. to name a few, i felt sadness, disgust, contempt, and believe it or not triumphant.
the narration is excellent. each character has his/her own narrator, who brings the character to life even though they're dead. LOL
the writing is tight. there's nothing i would add nor remove from the story. there is a lot of gore, and the scenes of the zombies feeding are probably the most descriptive, disgusting, an horrifying i've ever read or listened to.
overall, a great and unique addition to my zombie library. so if you're looking for something different, then look no further. this is a great book from the zombie perspective. this is why you don't want to become a zombie!
I try to find the best I can in everything I do.
"True Human Endearment Story - Delicious POVs"
I was absolutely enraptured at how Hugh Howey managed to take the most primal fears we all have as humans and warp them into reality. Without giving too much away, this series of short stories from many points of view, which belong to a much larger story that actually ends, steps us through the lives of real humans and how they are trapped inside their Zombie bodies and unable to stop their insatiable need for hunger and forward movement. Not only are they trapped, but in the real life everyday world scenarios of how people would be.
Stuck in the lunch room at the office, on the freeway in a traffic jam, taking care of elderly parents and children. The list goes on and on as to how everyday situations turned into nightmares for these people.
One of the most memorable scenes to me was the mother and daughter caught up in a tree. There were two points of view on this particular scene. One from a character we have followed on the ground, and the other from the Mother and Daughter. The decision this mother had to make after days of being held captive in the tree was simply terrifying.
SO many of these situations were excruciatingly difficult to tell, and to hear, but Hugh Howey truly makes you ask yourself... what would you do if it were you in that exact same situation?
There is a scene with a little girl in her shop where she and her parents lived. After they all turned, and the parents died, the little girl simply wishes to go outside but cannot until a human family breaks into their shop scrounging for food. I won't spoil the scene... let's just say the little girl is no longer alone and lonely.
There is also an amazing story of a man who saves a baby. It is AWESOME!
I truly identified with the character who kept talking about how she prepped for the end of the world and had even purchased a good pair of hiking boots so her feet would be protected. But that particular day when the apocalypse hit, she was in high heels. She also spends time trying to figure out what to call their group of zombies as they travel... are they a horde? a murder? She finally decided on a shuffle. You'll have to listen to how this poor gal has to go through life in painful shoes!
This book is not for the weak of mind nor stomach! Hugh Howey totally pushes through the threshold and comes out squeaky clean. Masterfully created in tacking this type of point of view. Definitely not just another Zombie story. In anything... if is a true human endearment story.
Madam C
All I can say is wow, what a gruesome and grotesque story. I loved it, so unique and captivating. When it ended I just sat there for a minute and contemplated what had just happened. I am not the world's biggest zombie aficionado, but this perspective and the performances - whew - amazing. Props goes to all the men and women who read the story, it must have been quite the undertaking. This book is not recommended for the queasy. VERY graphic VERY sadistic VERY explicit.
I'm married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren. Love to read books, and love to listen to audio books. Genre's UF/Sci-Fi/ dystopian/ fiction and mystery/thrillers
"Oh WOW !!!"
Not sure what to say about this book. But he warns you in the description. Not your typical Zombie story for sure. Probably should of given 4 to 5 stars on story, but there was so much disturbing content that I couldn't bring myself to.
Buy with caution and good luck
"Confused and frustrated"
What would make this book a 4 or 5 star listen would be if there was a actual story. These are short incomplete stories about a zombie's perspective. I listened to half the book then became so bored and frustrated I quit. None of the stories are interesting.
Note: I only listened to half the book. Perhaps the end is good or the stories all tie in.....I have no idea.
Save your credit
I like apocalypse, zombies, and orcs stories. Also new ideas in fiction.
"Truly unique"
So cool to get a zombie book with an extreme twist from the norm. I really like zombie titles that bring new facets to the genre. This being from the zombies perspective fits the bill wonderfully. I was initially disappointed because it seemed each story was going to be 10 minutes long (or so) . But they take turns telling a story from this person then the next then back to the first so there is still character development. Not sure why they broke up each story but it doesn't take away from the book. And didn't make their story's hard to follow. If you like innovative ideas i feel this will satisfy you and most zombie enthusiasts. Thank you for reading my review hope it helps.
"Compelling, but not for the Faint Hearted"
I enjoyed the many different narrators for the different personalities in the story -- Not confusing at all. Actually, it would have been confusing if it was all narrated by one person
Hard to say.
Not sure
I found the idea inrtiguing and the stories oddly compelling. The individuals certainly speak with different "voices." I applaud the author on making the individuals realistic.
"Kind of made me feel sick.."
Excellent variety by the narrators, they all did an excellent job.
This book made me feel kind of sick, which I think was the intention. It goes a long way to describing the different mental results of the characters as they're taken along for the ride as a zombie prisoner.
I was especially creeped out by the older woman who enjoyed being a zombie because she was no longer frail.
"Mindful Zombies...Ultimate Nightmare"
Take heed, listeners. The author means it when he warns that this is not a typical zombie book and that it is, indeed, foul.
It is foul, disturbing, and very much an exercise in stream of consciousness from multiple perspectives of the individuals imprisoned in their own rotting, carnivorous bodies. It is the greatest nightmare for thinking independent people…to be conscious and aware, but have no control of the horrors surrounding them or the horrors that have taken control of their animated prisons.
I, Zombie is not for the typical zombie reader. If you want a plot or answers, there are dozens of alternatives available. If you really want to explore the questions, the potential consciousness, and the multiple human perspectives of horror, I, Zombie will disturb you to the core.
…but for the typical zombie reader, I, Zombie does reaffirm the instinct to smash a zombie's head to nothingness…whether the zombie is mindless or mindful. It's not only an effort to save the living, but also to put the reanimated undead out of their misery.
...and a special note to audiobook listeners...be careful if you're listening in your car or somewhere others might overhear. You will get some seriously dirty looks.
All of my reviews are on my blog audiobookreviewer dot com
"Brutally good"
The warning contained in the publishers summary had me hooked, I mean what could happen in a zombie audiobook that is so offensive that it requires a warning to the end user? This coupled with the fact that I have been meaning to listen too Hugh Howey's Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 – 5) for some time now. I am looking forward to being offended by I, Zombie I think it will be difficult to do because I think there is a a place for gruesome zombie audiobooks, it really all stands with the narration.
I, Zombie is not your typical kill some zombies, run, meet up with other survivors, kill some more zombies, run audiobook. This is a philosophical exploration of free will, humans overall drive for personal uniqueness and all entwined with an excruciating hopelessness, for anyone. The story is told from a large variety of characters, except they are already zombies, with no control over their bodies, much like a passenger on a plane, just along for the ride. Each tells of the internal struggle they find them selves in, trying to will their bodies to do something other than what its doing. If you are looking for a gruesome tale that does not offend, but does leave you feeling that there is no hope, this is perfect for you. Just do not go into this audiobook with any thoughts on how story should be told, because I, Zombie follows now rules. I was very impressed with Howey's writing style and will be listening to more in the future.
The team of narrators collected together to really wow the listener was superb and in my opinion really added to the dynamic of the story as a whole. Each of the narrators did a great job expressing the hopelessness of their characters situation. Having multiple narrators for I, Zombie really enhanced the story, by giving you, the listener, a audible break from despairing situation to another.
"Didn't work for me"
I enjoyed Hugh Howey's Wool trilogy immensely and I thought this one would be a pretty good read but it just didn't do anything for me.
There is no real plot just the point of view of several 'zombies' told as short interludes in what seems a complete mish-mash of ideas. The narration on the whole is very good but the actual stories seem somewhat rushed & unfinished.... Disappointing

Costello, Morello and (Surprise!) Bruce Springsteen Pay Tribute To Steven Van Zandt
On October 16 New York's Hammerstein Ballroom hosted a gala affair paying tribute to E Street Band guitarist/actor/garage rock champion/activist Little Steven Van Zandt. Elvis Costello, Southside Johnny and Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello were all on the bill. Bruce Springsteen was not… but very few people were surprised (although everyone in the room was thrilled) when he showed up to present his consigliere with Little Kids Rock's Big Man Of The Year Award.
Little Kids Rock To Honor Little Steven
The E Street Band's guitarist will receive the "Big Man Of The Year" award, named after his late bandmate Clarence Clemons, at Little Kids Rock's annual "Right 2 Rock" event on October 16th at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
Bruce Springsteen Concert Hits The Four Hour Mark
After going way past three hours on many of their shows on their current tour for Wrecking Ball, Springsteen & The E Street Band's show yesterday (July 31) at Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland, clocked in at four hours and five minutes. And that didn't even include the five song solo acoustic set Springsteen did earlier in the day.

It's safe to say that Bruce Springsteen has full command of an audience's attention from the moment he hits the stage through the point he decides to leave, usually about three hours later.

(May 15, 2003) - The East Tennessee State University baseball team took a break from the heat of their Southern Conference battles to volunteer time Wednesday at the Johnson City First Christian Church Preschool Field Day. Players mingled with the kids, helped officiate events and signed autographs for the children during the morning hours. Helping at Wednesday's Field Day is yet another example of importance ETSU athletic teams place on community involvement.

我刚到了 is perfectly understandable in oral communication. Your teacher probably thinks this is verbose because:
刚 = just
了 = already
我刚到了 = I just arrived already
Before you provide more context, I would say this could be perfectly understood by people except that it might not sound that natural.

1 cup
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
2 cups
bread flour
1/2 cup
whole wheat flour
1/3 cup
dry milk powder
1 teaspoon
1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
My family & I love this recipe!!!!! What I do with the bread is: I put it in the bread machine(the ingredients in order), let it mix into dough. When it's done w/that stage & going on to rise, I stop it, take the dough out & put it into a greased loaf pan & let it rise for about an hour. After rising, I put the loaf into a 325-350 degree oven & let it bake until it's done(about med. brown). It comes out perfect & tastes delicious!!!!!
The only thing I like about this bread is that there is no added sugar. This bread came out very dry and dense and way too done on the outside. I agree with another reviewer that I just don't think this bread works in all bread machines. Mine is a Sunbeam. I will stick with my other bread recipes.
66 Ratings
I doubled the recipe as it is printed. I mixed the dough in our "Kitchen Aid" mixer with the dough hook rather than the bread machine. I added 3 tbsp of wheat gluten, 1/2 cup of 12 grain cereal, and 1/2 cup of bulgher wheat. (Be careful to maintain the correct moisture balance) I let it rise in the mixing bowl for an hour, kneaded it back down and split it into two even loaves. Let it rise in the bread pans for another 40 minutes and then baked at 325 for 35 minutes. This produced about the best whole wheat bread we have ever had. Very flavourful with a definite crunch and great texture.
I couldn't resist but to experiment (over time) with this recipe.
.75 c water
1 egg
1c wheat flour
1.5c white flour
6 tablespoons honey
1c nuts
I was getting dry crumbly bread using fresh flour, reducing the water and adding the egg helps. You might add 1/8c of flour depending on the consistancy of the dough on the 2nd kneeding.
I loved the Honey taste in this
bread, it was GREAT!
It didint make a tall loaf and was alittle
heavy but was a pleasure to eat it!
Next time I will put alittle more yeast into it.
This is a great quick and easy bread, not to mention delicious! Great toasted or just as a sandwich. Nothing makes a better smell in the kitchen.
This was the best bread I have made yet, it rose perfectly and not a flaw. Will make this one again and again.
Very easy to make, everyone loved it! The only thing is that it sank in the middle. I used less yeast as another reviewer recommended, but it still sank. Still delicious and smelled great while baking!

Charles Oakley represents the old school. Although the six-foot-nine power forward was a clotheshorse, he was also one of the hardest-nosed players ever to wear warm-ups—and he still takes suiting up seriously. "When we get a contract, that's our job," he says. "You got to come to work and be a professional—and look like a professional." In other words: You wear a suit.
The outspoken 45-year-old former All-Star was one of the few players who voiced support for the NBA's dress-code, which was instituted in 2005, and when we sat down with him to discuss the state of NBA style, he couldn't hide his displeasure at professional basketball players' slovenly ways. "Why would I want to look like someone laying on the sidewalk can't get no food, can't get this, can't get that, can't get a suit and wear it on a consistent basis?! It's embarrassing." As with any career, however, Oakley knows that dressing for the job is not enough to help you excel. "I'm not going to sell all that," he says, breaking into a smile. "I hope no one's going to buy $20,000 worth of clothes and think that means they'll get 20 points that night. Just shoot."
Check out the photo gallery to see which players, coaches, owners, and announcers meet Oakley's sartorial standards—and who fouls out.

When I feed my sourdough starter and leave it out to make bread, it reaches max size in about 6 or 7 hours, then it begins to fall back. Is this the point at which I should make bread in order to get the maximum rise from my starter?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
From my experience, using the starter when it is at it's peak activity will help your dough rise faster but not necessarily higher. There are a lot of factors that contribute to how much dough expands when baked including, but by no means limited to: loaf shape, docking pattern, oven temperature, and oven humidity.
Be aware that there can also be a point at which dough has risen too much and the structure and texture suffers.
I rarely care about the state of the starter dough. IMHO, it is one of the least important factors. The amount of impurities in the flour is the most important factor for my results at home. The "dirtier", the better. I get the best results by far with stone-milled organic flour from a regional producer.

++Preliminary Observations Part 1++
The main use of this item was to examine the crawl space under our house (there were some water issues). All of the other "rovers" like the Tank clearly state for indoor or level surfaces (sand is a no no as well). This item seems to work well for every thing except step obstacle over 1 inch high and (according to manual)not to be used through water.
I am getting use to the controls topside before I take it under :-). I had wanted to use the sliders but between the delay and coarseness of the controlling the Rover, it is taking a bit of time to get used to timing. Bigger sliders would have really helped. I have also tried using the Galaxy 3 tilt feature, but it has its own issues. Do not get me wrong, this is probably a problem 75% me learning and 25% control design.
Also I had hoped for 4-wheel drive, but only the rear is powered. But that would be an improvement of a pretty impressive unit. The individual sprung wheels help with the rough terrain and traction seem fine. All the lights work as described light or dark and the focus on the two cameras is pretty good.
When I can properly navigate it around inside the house and then outside, I will then attempt the reason for the gift. That is to map the crawlspace (house is 3800 sq ft raised foundation), check for any leaks and foundation cracks. Normally I would do this in person, but that is not something I am able to do anymore. By all account, with the video and photo capabilities of the Rover and the range (I can always walk above it in the house while it is in the crawlspace), I expect to be able to do part 2 of this review to include the original reason for the purchase.
Oh yes, I almost forgot, its fun!!!

Needed it to keep eye on the house during vacation. I was hoping to use EZ Robot to accomplish this, but was disappointed to find out it does not yet support the Revolution. I'm not docking it points since they don't advertise such capability, but would be nice to see in the future. Does everything it says, reliably. Could use more clearance and traction, but for the price it's performs well.

He is one that shows no emotion, but when I explained to him this remote controlled camera car could be operated by his iPhone he ran over to me and gave me the biggest hug I had ever received by him.

My 12 year old loves this toy. It would have gotten 5 stars, but the speed is slow and I paid for a 24 month replacement feature & I didn't get any instructions on how to register my product. Now I have to take the time to call Brookstone to figure it out. The toy itself is very sturdy and well made. My son played with this, and didn't want to open other presents for at least 40 minutes. He took it outside, drove it around the house, and spied on everyone while he stayed stationary in his room. Lots of fun!

I purchased this product also 3 days ago, I've used it quite a lot in the past few days, and all I have to say is that I'm not impressed at all.
1. Camera quality is poor. There are 2 cameras attached to this rover. The swivel turret camera, and the stationary front camera. The front camera doesn't detect color, and the turret camera gets a really grainy color. The live video that this devise offers is glitchy and freezes up way to often.
2. The controls are though to use. I've tried very hard to get this to travel in a straight line, and I've failed every time. If you try to turn you do an almost 360 degree turn and end up under some couch with the antenna snapped off.
3. The "off-roading" that is shown on the box is a total fake. This Rover can barley make it across a flat surface. I haven't been able to get it across my carpet, any grass or leaves is a total long shot. Every time I've been in any type of carpet it inches it's way so slowly and makes such a crunching noise I'm honestly worried it will break.
Overall I'm highly disappointed in this product. I'm planning on returning it soon. TAKE ME ADVICE and buy another brand of rc vehicle.

I don't agree with war and killing lives. Let the inspectors do there job.
I don't agree with war and killing lives. Let the inspectors do there job.
All I can think about is watching those towers come down and I want some retribution for that.....I don't know what happened to OBL, he seems to be a forgotten man right now, but I also believe that SH is responsible for as much if not more terrorism than OBL and if we can't find OBL....Saddam will do..........
I also believe that this war will not be like the Gulf War.....oh sure we will be far Superior and likely roll into Baghdad within months but I think before it's all said and done Hussien will cause or be responsible for a least one horrible act against humanity. Whether it be nuclear, or biological, or chemical I don't know but SOMETHING will happen and many lives will be lost.....After that....anything could happen......It could be just the dieing breath of an evil dictator or it could draw others into the conflict and result in WWIII......If that happens.....I don't think there will be a WWIV....
I'm truely torn on this issue........ I want retribution but I think the ramifications of war could be catastrophic.
I'm not scared but, I'm real nervous.
I won't shed a tear when Saddam gets a bullet in the back of the head. He's a genocidal maniac who declared war on many peoples and used genocidal tactics on the kurds in the north of his country.
But I also don't think war is necessarily the answer. I question the timing of this war. I question the feeble attempts to link Saddam Hussein with a man like Osama bin Laden. Just because we believe them both to be evil, doesn't mean they are in cahoots. The fact of the matter is they hate each other because Osama supports the Kurds and Saddam has been at war with the Kurds as much or more than any other group including Israel and the US.
You say we all know they have chemical and biological weapons. I say, how do I know? I don't know that. I know what this administration is telling me, but I also know what this administration has said in the past that has turned out to be flat out lies particularly Dick Cheney.
Bottom line with me is we're waging an aggressive war on a country and leader who has done no more wrong than a dozen other countries in the world, but since this was Big Bush's previous target, it became Little Bush's next likely target when the Afghan war started to get boring enough to the American people that they started to pay attention to the economy a little bit and came on the brink of realization that we're headed toward recession. Whoops, better occupy them with another war....at the cheap price of only a trillion dollars and thousands of american lives not to mention tens of thousands of those pesky subhuman muslims.
Read a funny editorial not too long ago that figured out what the price would be of dropping tons of IOU's all over the Iraqi population that were checks for like $5000 redeemable at the nearest American P.O.W. camp. Not to go into details but it would actually cost less than this war.
But whats the good of spending billions upon billions for new war toys if ya don't get to use them every now and then in the name of "justice"
My prediction, with this whole "1,000 bombs in 24 hours" thing, is that the war will take 3-4 days. Iraq is a lot weaker than they once were, and I don't think this is going to be a hard war to win.Originally posted by dolphan39
hopefully we can beat Israel's record of 6 days, but highly unlikely when you are conquering a country instead of defending yours. I am pulling for the Iraqi people, particularly those in the military to realize that they are going to be sacrificed and to surrender in droves.
The thing is that we as a country feel wounded and vundrable due to what happened on 9-11. We were attacked and SH probably opened a bottle of camel piss in celebration. We have to let our enmies know that now we are going after you if we get info that you are up to no good.. we are not just waiting around. this is a statement war and the statement is DO NOT F WITH US .This guy is scum, he is a roach that does not belong in this world and must be dealt with. All these actors and activist can say that they do not ant war and blah blah but if things get ugly they're the first ones wondering why we did not prevent it and getting all emotional on 20/20 and dateline. Screw them .. we go in we blow up some a-holes and get out as fast as possible. WE ARE ALL ONE!! and even if you do not support the war you live here and enjoy all of this countrys fruits so be glad we are preventing you from having to grow breads and wear brukas. GOD BLESS OUR BOYS AND GIRLS and GOd BLess The USA.
Thats pretty much a myth dude. Its just the kinda thing that people who don't like anti-war people would like to believe about them but it has no basis in reality. All this "the ones who decry the war are the first ones to complain blah blah blah" is just a bunch of nonsense.
Ck.. its not true.. I have seen it 1st hand . I have seen people go from oh we so bad we're so wrong and then the Crap hits the fan and they are the 1st ones saying why did we let this happen. If you dont believe it just look at that country 90 miles off of Florida. they stood around and got fleeced and still to this day people who supported a revolution are wondering why it happened and why nothing was done to stop it. I am glad GWB has some cojones and Tony Blair says Fu to the UN. This war needs to happen in order to rid the earth of a cancer that can infect a great deal of our brothers and sisters sharing this planet. I hope SH dies in a cloud of mustard gas.
:hitself: Well, now I am starting to wonder if it was...lolOriginally posted by mikefan22
I would like to throw a few things in here.
First of all, to me this thing has to do with Saddam, and not OBL. Saddam also backs terrorist groups, and in fact has said (as an earlier poster commented on) that he will take this war around the world. That's terrorism.
Now if he doesn't have chemical, and biological weapons, then why is he as of right now (my source is fox news network) arming his elite fighters with chemical weapons? He has in fact brought almost all of his best army troops into Bahgdad (sp?).
This is either because he is going to release some serious stuff farther to the north in order to try and stop us there, and further protecting his troops (while also killing more Kurds much to his delight) or he is going to go out in a blaze of glory right there in his capital.
I sure hope it's the latter.
He had 12 years to disarm. Didn't do it, and only now after the threat of force does he even begin to show some token disarming. He invaded another country, killed 5000 of his own people with chemical gas, did not allow a single inspector in for years, and now it has come to this.
Anyone with children will understand how you deal with a bratty kid. Telling them you are going to punish them, over and over, and over again, does not get them to stop. It's only when you back your words with actual punishment, that the child learns you mean business.
Time for Saddam to get a spankin.
There's only 1 good thing about going to war; getting our economy out of this slump

The Lunar Module (LM) Intrepid is in the background (right). This picture was taken by astronaut Alan L. Bean, Apollo 12 lunar module pilot.
Intrepid landed on the moon's Ocean of Storms on 19 November 1969 only about 180 m (600 feet) from the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. The television camera and several other components were taken from Surveyor 3 and brought back to Earth for scientific analysis.

i wouldnt count the ravens out in the afc.
yes they did lose lots of talent, but lets not forget, a guy like lewis was more effective from a motivational standpoint lastyear than actually on the field. ed reed has had a hall of fame career, but his body has been falling apart and he may not even be ready for opening day with the texans, and i have heard talk how they may give him some games off throughout they year.
krueger and boldin were pretty tough loses, as was ellerby, but they did sign dumervill who is really good when healthy, they also signed chris canty who while not a all pro by any means is still very solid and can be effective for that ravens line, and they still do have ray rice, joe flacco, and torri smith, pita and dickson.
im sure someone will come in and fill boldins shoes. we see it all the time in the nfl.
i deff agree with us making the playoffs, because if not now, then when? however, i do feel people are taking baltimore lightly this season due to all the losses in offseason. they still got a top 5 qb in joe flacco imo.
ravens will win there division

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
More specifically, how does your club solicit sponsors if you are not a 501c3 charity? Our club has looked into becoming a 501c3 but we would have to get a lawyer (around$500) and then there would be a $400 filing fee with the IRS and a 1 to 8 month wait to see if they accepted or rejected all of the forms that would have to be filed.
Views: 116
You just go door to door and beg. It is demeaning and unnecessary but some TDs are pretty good at it. You can get all the sponsorship you need by buying buying from the major manufacturers at wholesale and pricing at retail for purposes of tournament value in the payouts.
A middle way is to organize as a not-for-profit corporation and skip the 501c3. When you tell a potential sponsor that you are a not-for-profit corporation they just assume you are a 501c3. You probably don't need a lawyer for this. Just use legalforms.com or a similar site. But then you have to file informational tax returns every year.
The only way a disc golf club gets 501c3 status is if it lies about what it is doing or if the IRS drone is not really doing his job. There is no 501c3 category that fits what a disc golf club wants to do unless what it wants to do is to organize and operate exclusively to foster international and national competition, and it primarily conducts national and international competitions. So AmNationals could organize as a 501c3. Podunk Disc Golf Club can't, unless they pull one over on the IRS. See, http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p557.pdf , especially page 32.
There might be a c7 category that fits a disc golf club. I have not looked. I do not see a c3 category that fits.
We are a 501c7 . www.sandiegoaces.com
It all depends what you are soliciting for, money, give-aways, labor for a course, etc... When I was raising money to build a course I had no club or 501c3. In fact I kind of started my own club out of the people who are helping me build the course... But the point is, when it came time to solicit for money I got the park to be the front for my operations. Sponsors would cut the park a check and the park would then turn around and give the money to me. This made it so that all the donors would be dealing with a legitimate branch of the county board instead of me.
Dan, what about doing it like Tee shirt sponsors, say $50. Then they atleast get something for there money in the form of advertisment. I dont know how much your trying to get but that would be a good start. I know taco bell and mcdonald sponsored alot of events for wabash disc golf club back in the early 90's. I think it was the Brazil ones that did it. If your going threw the park there is a good chance Walmart would help out also.
We are going to go after club sponsors and tournament sponsors. All sponsors will get a logo/name on tournament shirts, we will have at least 3 PDGA tournaments with shirts as part of the players pack (size of logo depending on amount donated) + company name and link to their website on our website. In response to Destrayer, I am pursuing going through the parks dept. and am awaiting their reply. Thanks for everybodies input - especially Disc Player Sports!LOL!!

Get The Facts
What is an automatic standby generator? +An automatic standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates whether you are at home or away. It automatically supplies power to your home or business within 30 seconds of a utility failure. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and awaits the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane and sits outside your house or business just like a central air conditioning unit. Watch this short video on how a standby generator works. Read More
Why should I buy an automatic generator instead of a portable? +While portable generators do supply power, the poor quality of the electricity can damage your sensitive electronics such as computers, laptops, and televisions. A professionally installed standby generator provides a level of reliability and safety unmatched by portable generators. Standby generators operate automatically as you weather the storm in safety. On the other hand, portable generators require constant attention, the use multiple extension cords, and frequent refueling, increasing the risk of hazardous fumes, fire, and electric shock. During a utility power outage, an automatic standby generator provides numerous advantages over… Read More
How do I size my generator? +The most logical way to determine your needs is to envision your home without power! Some outages may be short in duration, while others could last for days or weeks. What would you like your living conditions to be? Assurance Power Systems takes the guesswork out of sizing with our GenSizer TM tool. GenSizer allows you to determine what size generator meets your needs. Our design professionals and sales associates use GenSizer to design your generator system and create load calculations and riser diagrams in accordance with the National Electric… Read More
Enclosures +In addition to its sturdy galvanneal steel enclosure with RhinoCoat™, Generac is one of the few companies to offer premium aluminum enclosures for its residential standby generators. Aluminum enclosures are naturally rust and corrosion resistant. For salt air or high humidity conditions, aluminum is highly recommended to ensure decades of worry free service. Here's an example of a steel generator installed in a harsh salt air climate - the enclosure is literally falling apart! This is what happens when generators are not installed by professionals. Assurance Power Systems ALWAYS considers the… Read More
Air-Cooled vs. Liquid-Cooled +Air cooled generators come with engines that use fans to force air across the engine for cooling, while liquid cooled generators use enclosed radiator systems for cooling, similar to an automobile. Generally, liquid cooled engines are used on larger kW generators due to the larger engines required for the higher power output. Read More
Do they have to be maintained? +Just like your car engine, generators need periodic oil and filter changes, as well as inspections and tune-ups. Assurance Power Systems' preventative maintenance agreements take care of all your maintenance and service needs. Read More
Does it need to be professionally installed? +A professional installation ensures you will comply with all building codes and municipal ordinances. Standby generators produce high voltage electricity, and if improperly installed can result fire or electrical shock. Proper installation ensures an increased reliability factor assuring you that you will always have standby power when you need it most. Read More
Lifespan +Because Generac engines were developed specifically for generators and designed to provide approximately 3,000 hours of use, with typical usage and proper maintenance an automatic standby generator can provide in excess of 30 years of service. Example: Weekly exercise time (11 hours per year) plus four 20 hr. outages (80 hrs/year) equals 91 hours of operation per year OR over 30 years. Read More
Can a standby generator replace my utility service +No...the generator fuel costs would be much more expensive than buying power from the utility company since their cost to produce electricity is divided among thousands of customers. Read More

I can weld better with the lights off. :-) I'm serious.
I'm wondering if this is a helmet problem. It's a Hobart XVP auto dark.
I used it in welding class this summer and it seems the more I weld the less I'm able to see. I don't know if it's me or the helmet. I do have to wear glasses all the time but that's a focus problem, my welding problem is being able to see the work and the arc. I can seldom see the work at all so very long beads invaribly aren't straight.
I have the shade set to 10 and the sensitivity at about 25% and the delay pretty low. I tried it at 9 today and I think it's better but I'm shy of doing that all the time as even on 10 at the end of a few hours welding my eyes are sore.
Pretty bad when I can't see a small sun a foot in front of my face. :-)
I've cleaned the lens and installed new inner and outer protective lenses. No difference.
I'm definitely not seeing as much as what I see in welding videos on youtube. Should I expect to see the same thing as in those videos?
Do auto dark helmets go bad in this way. This helmet is probably 5 or 6 years old but not used muych till this summer.

Have you ever used a normal (non-autodark) shield?
I've never seen an autodark hood that let you see the puddle as clearly as a non-autodark.
Did you check the batteries?At home:

Used a non-auto years ago but don't recall the quality. Good idea though, I'll borrow one and do a comparison.
Yes, brand new batteries. First thing I tried.
Forgot to add this - Sometimes the lens stays dark after I kill the arc. It acts strange. When it does that I can hold up my hand about 6 inches or less in front of it and it will un-darken and when I remove my hand it will go back dark (no arc)(not looking at the sun).

Used both auto & non auto. Did have a cheaper Tractor Supply auto that after all day welding at higher voltage went bad. Some weeks I do allot of fab work i.e. allot of tacking & small welds also switch back & forth with plasma & Tig. Bought a Miller Elite and love it for that work as I can just hit a button & switch back & forth, also fine tune shade as need. I've welded with it straight all day long at higher voltage & it's worked flawless. Good helmet just not cheap. As recommended I'd try dedicated helmet may clear up your problem. Another thought;
>> My close up vision started to leave years ago & I've found multi vision contacts that work fine for everything but welding I also just couldn't see the puddle. I put a magnify lens in helmet and that works great. Just a thought.
Why don't you borrow someone's AD helmet and see if you have the same problems?
I some times have problems with my helmet if there is a bright light directly above or a beam of sun light across the job.

Well, didn't really mean I was only watching the arc. I'm trying to see the puddle but it's saying a lot that I have trouble even seeing the arc. Ergo my comment about a small sun a foot in front of my face. If I can't see the arc very well I'm darn sure not going to be able to see the puddle.

Gallery: Gorgeous Maximum Garden House Creates Green Urban Space
Garden space is hard to come by in dense urban places, so enterprising urban gardeners have to get creative. Formwerkz, a Singapore-based architecture firm, was asked by one of their clients to design a home that maximized the garden space on their 300 sq meter lot. The resulting house includes a vertical living wall and green roof that is not only beautiful and functional, but also serves to improve the building's performance.
Most homes on urban lots maximize their square footage at the expense of green space, leaving only a small strip of grass or a deck. For those who want to garden in a dense urban environment, space must be found or created. The Maximum Garden House is a wonderful example of how vertical walls and roofs can be repurposed as growing spaces. A boundary wall was designed not only to protect the house, but is also a vertical planter with lush draping plants facing the sidewalk and street.
The facade on the upper level is protected by a planting system that acts as a curtain wall. This vertical garden acts as a privacy, rain and shade screen, which improves the building's energy performance. A green roof then covers the carport and is planted in an artistic pattern which can be easily seen from the upper floors. Staggered floors lead eventually up to the roof deck and garden, where one side slopes up and mimics natural terrain. For a such a small home site, four distinct garden areas were created in order to redress the imbalance of building vs. nature in an urban setting.

[…] for a spritz of water once a week – you can keep those hands free from the rougher perils of gardening, saving them for more enterprising summer […]

It's amazing what can be accomplished when one person breaks the 'thought barrier.' This design is proof of that. We sure owe Patrick Blanc a debt of gratitude. I can't wait to see how this trend develops in the next few years. I wrote an article on how to build your own green wall @ http://www.landscapeandgardentoday.com/How_To/BuildVerticalGarden.php in case you want to try your hand at this. I'm working on mine today.

Wow this design is gorgeous! I want this house…
