Third base is a position of scarcity in the major leagues. The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired a decent one on Sunday, and they've got another coming at Double A. Chris Johnson, obtained from the Houston Astros for minor-league outfielders Marc Krauss and Bobby Borchering, has a 105 OPS-plus in 368 plate appearances this season, with 100 considered league average. The D-backs will control Johnson, 27, through 2017, and he isn't even eligible for arbitration until '14. Davidson, currently at Double A, should be ready by '14, it not sooner. At that point, the D-Backs can choose, or perhaps move Johnson or Davidson to a different position (both also have played first base). The trade also could produce another benefit for the D-Backs, giving them the infield depth to trade shortstop Stephen Drew, possibly to the Oakland Athletics. Drew is batting just .213 with a .566 OPS since coming off the disabled list, but his line-drive rate is more than 40 percent, indicating that he is hitting into poor luck. The Athletics, who tried to acquire Hanley Ramirez and later Marco Scutaro before each was traded, also are looking at the Toronto Blue Jays' Yunel Escobar and other options. As for the Astros' return from the Diamondbacks, well, one scout described Krauss and Borchering as "non-athletic . . . lacking positions . . . maybe not even extras (reserves)." The Astros, though, are moving to the American League next season, and perhaps they see both players as potential DHs. Borchering was the 16th overall pick in the 2009 draft, Krauss the 64th. -Ken Rosenthal

beautiful in summer and fall, so snow-covered would just be
more so. Enjoy!

Last time I was at the cabin it was in late December and they were

I'll see some before I leave. It is just breathtakingly beautiful

We are having yo-yo weather too, it was pretty nice tho breezy last week
but it's raining today. I am worried as once again I have a cat missing,
she must have gotten out yesterday evening and I didn't notice her gone
until this morning. I'm telling myself that when the other one got out
she showed up after an entire week and that turned out okay, so this
will too.
I had my first harvest from the vegetable garden! Just a few green
onions, but still. My peas look pretty good. I peeked under the row
cover where I planted the greens: spinach is up, some cilantro, not much
chard. Very disappointed not to see any lettuce. Then - D'OH! - I
realized I hadn't planted it yet. So that went in. I was going to move
the tomatoes out to harden off on Sunday but then we got the weather
forecast, they even threatened very low snow levels, so they are still
in the greenhouse.
My lilacs are starting to bloom and most of the daffodils are gone. I
have a few poppies in the garden, none in the "unimproved" areas, but
there are some goldfields. Out in the desert there are a lot of
goldfields and some poppies but I have not heard any glowing wildflower
reports nearby.
Had my 3 front sycamore trees trimmed Monday. Ouch that was expensive
but they look so much better than when I had the cheap company do it.
You get what you pay for around here.

Canadian business laws are well developed. Several different types of business structures are available in Canada. Each features unique advantages and disadvantages.
Business Corporations
The corporation is the most common business organization in Canada. As a separate legal entity, the assets and liabilities of a corporation belong to the corporation, not to its shareholders. Shareholders may receive dividends from the corporation and are entitled to receive the assets of the corporation upon liquidation once the corporation's debts and other obligations have been discharged.
Corporations in Canada can be incorporated federally under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) or provincially under comparable legislation with slight variations. A provincially incorporated corporation must first register or obtain an extra-provincial license to conduct business in another province.
A corporation is created upon filing articles of incorporation that outline the rights, restrictions, privileges and conditions attached to each class of shares offered by the corporation. A corporation may issue as many shares and classes of shares as it likes, but one class must always offer full voting rights to the shareholders. A corporation also typically adopts by-laws governing various administrative matters.
A corporation is a legal entity with the rights, powers and privileges given to it by its articles and by-laws and governing statute. Corporations created under the CBCA (or corresponding provincial statutes) have the powers of a natural person, with some exceptions. Consequently, a corporation may hold property, enter into contracts and sue and be sued in its own name.
A corporation is managed by its directors. The CBCA requires that at least 25 percent of the directors of a corporation incorporated under the CBCA be Canadian residents. Boards with fewer than four directors must have at least one resident director. Most provincial business corporations legislation contains a similar requirement. The directors may appoint officers (who are not subject to residency requirements) to manage the daily affairs of the corporation. Both directors and officers can incur personal liability if they cause the corporation to act in breach of applicable laws and in some other circumstances.
Branches of Foreign Corporations
A branch operation of a foreign parent company must be either licensed or registered in each province where it intends to operate. The tax consequences of setting up a branch office vary considerably between the provinces as does the liability faced by the parent company for the operations and conduct of the branch.
Unlimited Liability Subsidiary Companies
The provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia allow the Canadian subsidiary of a foreign-owned corporation to incorporate as an unlimited liability company (ULC). A ULC operates much like a partnership in that the shareholders of the ULC have unlimited liability. As an alternative to a branch office, a ULC may permit any losses of the Canadian corporation to be deducted by the foreign corporation.
A partnership is the legal relationship between individuals carrying on business in common with a view to profit. A partnership can be composed of individuals or two or more entities, including corporations or other partnerships. A partnership is not a separate legal entity. Generally speaking, partners are jointly and severally liable for any losses caused to non-partners, although this liability can be limited in some types of partnerships. Additionally, the income and losses of a partnership are considered to flow through directly to the partners for tax purposes.
Partnerships are governed by provincial law. Some provinces require that partnerships be registered. There are three types of partnerships in Canada: general, limited and limited liability partnerships.
General Partnerships
A general partnership features unlimited personal liability of each partner for the liabilities of the partnership, and the exposure of each partner's personal assets in the event the partnership's assets are insufficient to cover its obligations. Each partner may enter into partnership obligations that effectively bind the other partners.
Limited Partnerships
Limited partnerships feature both limited and general partners. The liability of a limited partner is limited to its investment in the partnership so long as it remains uninvolved in the management of the partnership. General partners are responsible for the management of the business and face unlimited personal liability just as they would in a general partnership. This arrangement is beneficial for passive investors looking to receive returns proportional to their initial investment.
Limited Liability Partnerships
Most provinces permit limited liability partnerships for eligible professions. This arrangement limits exposure by shielding partners from liabilities arising from the acts of another partner not directly under their care or direct supervision.
Joint Ventures
Two or more parties may form a joint venture for the purpose of carrying out a specific undertaking. In Canada, a joint venture may be conducted by separate corporations, general or limited partnerships, or simply by parties engaging in the joint ownership of assets. The parties pool capital and skill, but essentially establish a contractual relationship governing the business and providing for the distribution of profits. As a joint venture is not a legally recognized entity for tax purposes, its income and losses are taxed in the hands of each party to the joint venture.
Parties intending to create a joint venture are advised to draft a joint venture agreement which expressly states that no partnership is being established and which explicitly sets out the parties' respective rights and obligations. Should the law decide that a partnership exists in substance, the parties' joint venture agreement will be of no legal effect.
Sole Proprietorships
In a sole proprietorship, business is conducted by an individual without incorporation. Sole proprietorships are generally simple and subject to minimal regulation. For example, registration may be required if a business operates under a name other than that of the proprietor and some categories of business require special licenses to operate.
Profits earned by a sole proprietorship, as well as liability for any debts or other liabilities, are allocated to the sole proprietor. At law, no distinction is drawn between the proprietorship and the individual conducting it. The proprietor's personal assets are at risk should the business become unable to meet its obligations. The sole proprietor is also liable for any tortious or illegal activities of the business although, to some extent, liability insurance can help reduce this exposure.
The sole proprietorship model is well suited to many small enterprises as it avoids many of the expenses associated with incorporation. A sole proprietorship can be easily wound up at the end of its life or sold at the option of the owner. For tax purposes, a sole proprietorship provides some advantages. The owner can generally deduct business losses against the owner's other types of income and avoid experiencing double taxation in the hands of both the business entity and the owner.
While trust structures are used to conduct business in Canada, recent legislative changes have reduced some of the tax advantages that once made them popular among foreign investors. Under Canadian law, a trust is not a separate legal entity. Trust assets are held by the trustee who is then liable for all obligations arising out of the trust's operations. While trusts are generally structured in a manner intended to minimize investor liability, investors may be exposed to personal liability arising from the operation of the trust in certain circumstances.
Canadian law provides considerable flexibility to foreign businesses seeking to establish a presence in Canada. The choice of an appropriate business structure in these circumstances requires careful planning and sound advice. Tax and liability considerations are usually key factors in this decision.

By Gregg Bell, AP Sports Writer
KIRKLAND, Wash. The last day of Chris Gray's unsung career was the first day he got star treatment. "So this is what (Matt) Hasselbeck goes through every day," the invaluable yet relatively anonymous Seahawks offensive lineman joked as he sat in front of cameras and microphones Monday to announce he was retiring on the eve of his 16th NFL season.
At least he could joke. And walk.
Seattle's record holder for consecutive games played at 121 from 1999 to 2006 is retiring because of a lower back and spine injury that had doctors telling him he risked paralysis if he continued playing.
"There wasn't much of a choice. Once they told me the seriousness, I couldn't risk being confined to a wheelchair just to play a 16th year," the 38-year-old Gray said.
That was after a handshake and warm pat on the back from Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, one of 11 passers and two Hall of Famers Gray protected as a center and guard for Miami, Chicago and Seattle since 1993.
Gray made his announcement nine days after he felt his back pop while hitting a blocking sled in training camp. Then Saturday, three team doctors told him he should quit while he could literally walk away.
"I have two young kids and a wife who has supported me the whole time. It would be fun to spend time with them," while healthy, Gray said in his Southern drawl of spouse Julie, daughter Grace and son Matthew.
He is the second Seahawk forced into retirement by a potentially crippling injury in 10 months. Former Pro Bowl fullback Mack Strong quit last October after waking up for a game in Pittsburgh with his arm tingling. Doctors told the 36-year-old Strong he had herniated disk in his neck that was pinching his spinal cord.
Doctors -- including team physician Stan Herring, a spine specialist -- told Gray as long as he rehabilitates and stays away from 320-pound defensive lineman banging into him, he should maintain relatively good health. That will allow him to pursue his next job he joked about.
"I'm talking to the team about a marketing deal. Kind of like the Brett Favre thing, you know?" he said, a reference to the reported megamillions the Green Bay Packers offered the now un-retired quarterback in vain to stay away from training camp.
"It's not for $20 million. But a couple hundred Gs? It would work," Gray deadpanned.
Just because Gray's decision was clear doesn't mean it was easy.
"The last two days, every time I started talking to someone, I started crying," the 6-foot-4, 305-pounder said of the end to what he's done every summer since he was in sixth grade in Birmingham, Ala.
"All of a sudden -- whoo -- it just cut off. It's kind of a shock.
"But it's been a fun ride."
It started as a fifth-round draft choice by the Dolphins out of Auburn in 1993. After blocking for Dan Marino as a starter for three seasons, Gray went to Chicago for one year. Then Seattle signed him in 1998. His first eight starts for the Seahawks was at center because Kevin Glover's back was injured. He also snapped for field goals and extra points.
Gray replaced Glover again in 1999 when Glover had a blood clot. He didn't leave the lineup for the next eight seasons, despite countless aches and even microfracture knee surgery at the beginning of this decade that he says should have ended his career.
An old Dolphins offensive linemate taught him perseverance.
"Ron Heller told me the fastest way out of the NFL is to get hurt," Gray said, prophetically. "I always prided myself on being able to play through pain.
"I've been fortunate to play 15 years."
With little fanfare but the appreciation and trust of an entire franchise, Gray started 146 of 147 regular-season and playoff games, through the 2006 Super Bowl and last January's playoff loss at Green Bay. His only miss was the 2006 regular-season finale at Tampa Bay, when Gray had a thigh injury and the Seahawks had their playoff position clinched.
Coaches told him he was going to be a backup center and guard this season.
Gray's response: Whatever
"I've heard that for 10 years," he said.
"I'm not the biggest, fastest or strongest guy, but I knew what to do and how to prepare. Ninety-five percent of the time I got the job done. And that was enough to be in the Super Bowl."

Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
It's funny, and it's thought-provoking too. Great poem!
"Maybe if you mention him
He will go away..."
That's why. The elephant can be just about anything in your life that just gets bigger and bigger the more you ignore it, until finally you deal with the problem and fix it, and then it goes away, and you wonder why you put up with it so long. Speaking of which, I've got a quilt to finish. I've been ignoring it all day, and it should only take a couple more hours.
That makes a lot of sense. Kinda what I was trying to get at too...I mean, there is a lot of things that we live with as regrets in our lives, the hovering regrets that everyone knows about and that no one wants to talk about...lol. Its like me and my boyfriend talking on the phone last night, and I have to go to the bathroom reeeeeally bad and so I ask if it's ok if he holds on for a minute, I have to go do something...and he's like-does it involve the bathroom? I mean this is a funny kind of instance where the elephant was me needing to use the bathroom, but it was awkward and I didn't know how to say that thats what I had to do!!! It was hilarious though, I started laughing and the elephant was gone, cuz he had mentioned the elephant...you know? Does that make sense how my random story here makes sense or does it not? lol. Thanks for explaining your earlier comment...
Oh, I like this one :D
As the person above me says, I like it cause, well, I guess I need to talk about my elephant. I've been ignoring it, and it needs to come out.
Nice :D
Aw, it's cute!!! but deep at the same time. Like at first glance it just seems like a little ditty, but as you read you start to understand the other meaning. I really like it :)
Thanks! :D I am glad you could see the deepness behind the ditty. hehehe that sounds silly! lol and I really tried to make this poem...poignant? it started from a joke from one of my friends, but it really was a stronger thing than that. Thank you for reading and actually understanding this one! :D
IT all seems so silly to read. But the message between the lines is something i really appreciate.. Good job. Keep it up lol :P
Funny poem. I can definately see this as a children's poem in a book someday. It seems so befitting of that to me. Your imagination is really good in this. I would be careful of repeating words too much. Sometimes it helps to find synonyms for the word. Bray 4 times, elephant 12. No need to nit-pick though. Good poem.
Lol I love how you said "no need to nit-pick" this poem was a tough one to write though, because I didn't know how to keep the rhyme going. I do want to edit this, I just don't know how to yet....I'll definitely look back on it though :)
Hi I absolutely love this poem and I was wondering if I could use it for a school project? I have to compare a poem to a painting and this is perfect. I'm using a Banksy piece where he has an elephant in a room and this is the perfect poem. I just wanted to ask your permission to use it? It will only be in a powerpoint presentation in my class.
Of course. :) I'm going to reference you in the presentation as well as in my bibliography. Thank you so much for allowing me to use it. I appreciate it. :)

Web Services and SCO
Customers"> In his own SCO Forum address, Andy Nagle, product manager for SCOx, said this new Web services initiative will help customers more fully exploit Internet technologies and help them grow their business in new ways; it will also provide developers the tools they need. Web services would also solve the problems of diverse IT infrastructures and the difficulty of adding new technologies to grow their business."SCOx will extend our platform, and we dont think there is anybody out there doing the level of integration that we are," Nagle said. Web services are important, since they allow applications to share data and invoke capabilities from other applications. Web services would ease partner-to-partner interaction, simplify application integration, and leverage existing application investments and creates new revenue streams, Nagle said. Rajiv Gupta, the CTO of Confluent Software, gave an address titled, "Web Services: Promise and Peril." He said the Web services market is already huge today, even though many analysts are saying the market would only come into its own in 2006. "The integration market today is about $31 billion in size, and all of this is a target for Web services," Gupta said. On the "promise" side of Web services are new channel opportunities, such as eBay and Amazon; new revenue opportunities; and the cost savings involved, all of which allow businesses to become more efficient. Web services reduce integration costs by up to 10 times and lower the total cost of business while making applications available to a broader audience, Gupta said. On the "peril" side are issues around deploying Web services, and the need to control how and who was connecting with and accessing the services offered. Standards are also continually evolving and changing, he said. "The choice is yours. You can stay where you are or you can start to exploit this technology gradually. Web services are a little like a kitchen knife: very useful, but you have to be careful when using it," he concluded.
"There are four components to SCOx: SCOx Business Solutions for hosted horizontal and vertical applications; SCOx Enabled Partner Solutions, which will extend legacy applications to the Web and the integration of applications via Web services; SCOX Web services, which can be used to create composite applications tailored to individual customers; and the SCOx Application Substrate.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
this is what i picture from this song...I walk out on a warm cloudless night and lay on the moist grass as i gaze at the star lit sky and listen to the crickets chirp the calm sound of wind blowing next to my ears and close my eyes to wake up to a dream...I cant really describe this any other way..... but i hope you can understand this :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars

LAKEWOOD — After a disappointing 2010 season in which Chatfield went just 5-10, the Lady Chargers are looking like a force to be reckoned with in 2011. Already sporting big victories over Cherokee Trail and Cherry Creek's No. 2 team, Chatfield showed Evergreen it's ready for a big year with a 24-4 victory over the Lady Cougars on March 24 at Trailblazer Stadium.
LAKEWOOD — You'll have to forgive Allison Aafedt. It's the Evergreen junior's first year of running track. So when she cut in from her lane — lane four — to the far inside lane, albeit briefly, during the girls' 400-meter run on March 24 at the 4A Jeffco Pre-Qualifier it was just a sign on her inexperience.
DENVER — Lute Moss struck out nine and Evergreen had a pair of four-run innings early en route to a 9-2 win over John F. Kennedy on March 26.
The Cougars (3-1) swept the doubleheader with a 13-3 win in the nightcap.
James Maroney went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored for Evergreen in the opener.
In game two, Evergreen scored nine runs in the first inning and rolled from there. Seth Purkey fanned four to score the win. Sam Grise doubled and scored two runs for the Cougars.
ARVADA — Caroline Jenkins scored a first-half hat trick and Faith Christian remained undefeated with a 5-2 win over Evergreen on March 24.
Hannah Blum and Shelby Ward added second-half goals for the Lady Eagles (3-0), who've scored 20 goals this season.
Jenny Ventimiglia and Haley Stading scored for Evergreen (4-2), which had its two-game winning streak snapped. Kendra Kullby assisted on Ventimiglia's goal. Kara Turner made four saves for Evergreen. Aubri Swan had 11 saves for Faith Christian.
LAKEWOOD — Evergreen's No. 2 and No. 4 doubles teams scored thrilling three-set victories in the Lady Cougars' 7-0 win over Alameda on March 24.
At No. 2, Erika and Rachel Chado defeated Laura Montes and Amy Nguyen, 6-4, 4-6, 10-5. At No. 4, Laura Schenk and Sammie Sexton defeated Annalisa Vargas and Geniya Anshanova, 4-6, 6-4, 10-2. Also winning were Morgan Nielsen (No. 1 singles), Kristin Shirk (No. 2), Emilee Greagor (No. 3), Christian Feagans and Genevieve DeGrandchamp (No. 1 doubles) and Madison Rogers and Madi Slack (No. 3).
The Indian Gulch fire encompassed 1,502 acres burned north of U.S. 6 and south of Golden Gate Canyon Road as of Friday, March 25, about the same level as reported Thursday, according to a media advisory from the Jeffco Sheriff's Office.
U.S. 6 to Black Hawk and Central City will be open at 2 p.m. Friday, according to the Sheriff's Office as of 10:45 a.m.
Scott Robson of Evergreen, manager of Denver Parks and Recreation, the unanimous choice of the board of directors, has accepted the job of executive director of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District starting April 11.
The announcement came Tuesday, March 22, at the regular meeting of the EPRD board.
Oh, how good the sweet fresh air feels. I am sitting in the yard at the Life Care Center, and I can't begin to describe what a pleasure it is to get outside.
Yesterday was Friday, March 18, and a small band of mule deer wandered through the yard. The band included one male, two females and one young.
He was no longer spotted but was very small. I wondered if it would make it through the winter.
Ever wonder how much stuff you can pack into a 10-foot-by-10-foot space? If you live in Evergreen, the answer is two cast members, one director, five crew members, a full-size set, props, costumes, and … an award-winning theater production.
Eight years later, it was an altered scene at Evergreen's downtown traffic light, where 15 people gathered to remember the ongoing war in Iraq. Although we were standing on the same bridge, we felt distant from those driving by. Now most of them are on their cell phones. The mood as indicated by friendly waves, while mostly apathetic, continues to tally overwhelmingly in favor of ending this long and fruitless war. There were the usual one or two head shakes.

There's been more than enough damage, death, destruction, and blood shed over there; send out troops home. I was watching something on TV and the person talking said when we do withdraw the troops, the war will come to the USA. Did I hear this right?

WHO the !!!*** do you think YOU are..
HOW dare YOU!
why YOU! MEAN LOW!!
This is a very good idea, but also lets be careful, at the same time, not to knock the 'colour'
out of each other, where we will be afraid to say anything, which may not agree with another's opinion...

Okay, answer me this: why do people feel the need to perpetually knock certain governmental agencies all the time (i.e. chidren and family serviced or social services)? Even when they do something good, they get hammered. Why?

I must be careful in replying..
as I would be sensitve about insulting 'Your' President..
As I would be, were you to criticize our PM.
I think it was an error of magnitude to have gone into Iraq,Saddam forecast, were they to do so, that it would take a while, but they would 'rue'
the day ...
Villan and all that HE was, his words have come to pass..
I could NEVER understand why they, so quickly took the spotlight
of Bin Laden and his 'Merry Men' and Afghanistan, and turned full focus
on ''Iraq'' thus enabling Osama to make an easy exit and become lost in thecrowds.
The hope of finding him now, I imagine, is slim.
The man has become a mythical character...
Years later, it seems, no solution has been found to the Iraq problem..
Thousands needlessly died, amongst them, many innocents..
Daily accounts of car bombs and other deprivations..and it seems, altho' we hear the opposite,
the insurgents have gained the upper hand entirely,in Iraq
Seeing is believing.

Well, it seems to me that they began the war in the first place when they hit the twin towers. That was a very sad day. It doesn't matter, it the war comes to the states we will learn to live or die with the decision.

Yes you heard right.The planned attack on Fort Dix is a recent example.Al-quida doesn't need Iraq,there are cells the world over.So I think its best to leave Iraq,direct funds to fight terrorist whever else needed.Iraq has made little effort to stand up on its own,indicating that they never will.at least in our lifetime.We were there long enough,Iraq didn't meet their responsibilities to step up to the plate so to speak,so that is our way out.

Yes it is.It is where I got this idea from.More for the nasty comments I got on know facts,being called all kinds of names,which any of us has had on topics,That I wanted to start fresh with them,to establish a more respectful dialog.I never had the need to be nasty in an answer to anyone.Whether I thought someone was "full of it" or deranged,I answer respectfully.However,growing up in this world,being human,I defend my stance only when someone gets insulting with me.Any of my past posts prove that.This is my attempt to do as Grace did.And I thank Grace for a great idea.I would like to see if some of our ill-mannered posters can come here and be civil.Express ideas,state opinions without attitude.

#13 May 12, 2007
HI GRACE!!!You had me going there for a bit.You are right about being afraid to say anything to not be insulting.Our culture is volitile in sensitive subjects.I often wondered why this happens.I'm a sort of "strange person" in the area of not understanding why disagreements escalate to such violent levels.Is why I say our world hasn't reached a civilized mindset.There are a few I met that I consider attaining that goal(you're one of them,as is mommy of four,the big time etc.).Let's see how long this forum lasts before someone breaks the thread.To say what one thinks without meanness is a challenge.

#14 May 12, 2007
Poor education,weened on drugs,pyscological disorders,the people that fall through the cracks in policies and become bitter I assume are some of the reasons.

I see what you mean about talking sensitive subjects,getting posters angry.I'm not angry at your remarks.In fact,I agree with you.I'm not proud of Bush.At least so far.we are saying our opinions/views with out being mean.This is what I hope continues,albeit not easy,But I enjoy reading posts that are without insults.I will endevor to carry on my posting from this thread to other threads in responding.That is without insults.I'm just trying to grow here.

I think that meanness depends on the mind set of the individual. I dont know what I expected from my "something is missing thread." I expected one or two people to post and then hear from no one else as the old adage is...."If you cannot say anything nice about someone dont say anything at all." Then instead of following suit, like "how nice," or "good idea," I was shoved under a runaway train by one or two "subjects" and then when I responded in kind, one decided to leave with the tail between their legs, the one who spewed the insults, and then, Roy Roger's double intervened. I believe that if one cant stand the heat they need to stay out of the kitchen. I am also a firm believer that if anyone instigates, then the person being attacked has the right to respond. Anyway, I do a lot of negotiation in my day-to-day life and am quite well versed at adult conversation. Bear in mind that if things get too serious and rigid on here, there might be boredom and a few yawns. The gas is going up again. It was 2.94 today. Cars were at every pump, with cars behind them. I really wondered if anyone was going to remember about the 15th. Dumb if you ask me. Let us gas up today like fiends, so we have enough gas to get around on the 15th?????????? I got word that it will peak at 4 dollars a gallon. I work 10 minutes away. My mode of transporation could soon be the bicycle. Instead of boycotting the gas pumps on the 15th, let us all visit the bike shops. In droves. Get one with a cute open wicker basket in the front with cute little ice cream bells. Left and right directional signals. Reflectors. Wallah.

Heres my next question.Do you beleive in God?Is this universe an natural occurance or was it created?Is the universe a giantic "snow globe" where GOD sees/hears all?Heres my take in a short version,not that I'm right,just how my little mind conceptualizes it all the best I can.As it says in the bible "in the beginning was darkness"."Let there be light" then the big-bang happened.While the matter spread out to the reaches of this universe,the mannipulation of matter was done to create the many life forms we see today,designed to evolve to survive in the changes in a pyshically dense environment.Telekenetic energy of a powerful spiritual being formed this dimension.We were placed in it.Given free will,a set of rules to live by if we choose to do so.Learn from our mistakes.Love if forced is never true love,so GOD gave us free will to choose him or reject him. As you can see this is a complex issue,many veiws,opinoins I have heard over the years.I never chastize ones beleif.That's part of life in this country,religious beleifs.Freedom of religion.I have no need to discount anothers,as crazy as mine may be,I put it up to show that I respect others right to beleif no matter have far from mine.So,if my take is way off,thats ok.No need to say "You're crazy"(I already know that).So,what is your view?
United States
#19 May 12, 2007
Sometimes I felt like leaving topics for similar reasons.The inability of conversation without insult.Its tough.Nothing worthwhile is.I want to be a better person and not stoop down to lower levels of conduct in order to express myself.
United States
#20 May 12, 2007
Interesting how when given facts,humans see them differntly.Perhaps a matter of perspective,the various ways each of us are brought up in.Preconceived notions.IQ,EQ levels in each individual?This I don't understand.Too complex.GOD only knows.

Summer do's and don'ts for hearing aid wearers
(BPT) - Summer is (finally) almost here. Many people look forward to this season because it gives them the opportunity to indulge in activities requiring warm, sunny days, like boating, swimming, hiking, and traveling.
Wearing hearing aids shouldn't keep you from enjoying yourself, but it is important to remember exposure to high heat can damage their outer casings and interior components. Therefore, whether you plan to spend your days basking in the sun by the beach or pool, or visiting exotic destinations, you should prepare to keep your hearing aids safe and functioning.
Avoid extreme temperature changes
The plastic outer shells of hearing aids can melt if exposed directly to intense sunlight for long periods or in extreme heat, such as inside a car parked in a sweltering outdoor lot. Conversely, your hearing aids' inner workings are more at risk from significant changes in temperature rather than heat or sun exposure specifically. This is because moisture condenses within the hearing aid as you go from a cool, air-conditioned environment into the hot outdoors, especially if you go back and forth repeatedly. As for hearing aid batteries, they are likely to fail if exposed to high heat for more than a short amount of time.
Here are three 'don'ts' and one 'do' for protecting your hearing aids from excessive heat:
* Don't leave hearing aids lying out in direct sunlight
* Don't leave hearing aids locked in a glove box or sitting on the dashboard
* Don't wear hearing aids into tanning booths or under a sunlamp
* Do store hearing aid batteries in a cool, dry place
Sunscreen: good for you, not so much your hearing aids
While it is important to protect your skin from the sun's rays, you could inadvertently damage your hearing aids by doing so. Sunscreen lotions and sprays can clog vents and damage other components. So:
* Do make sure you take care when applying sunscreen to your face, neck and ears
* Do put on sunscreen before you put in your hearing aids
The difference between 'waterproof' and 'water-resistance' matters
You may have water-resistant hearing aids but understand this does not mean they can be submerged in the ocean or a pool. Water-resistant hearing aids help if you're perspiring in the summer sun. However, if you jump into a lake wearing them, water will get inside through the microphone or other vents and they will be ruined.
Truly waterproof hearing aids are IP68 certified, meaning there will be no seepage or damage even after being completely submerged in liquid. Visit www.HearingAids.com for more information.
Keep in mind:
* Don't wear non-waterproof hearing aids if you're going swimming, speed boating, or anywhere else where it is likely they will get drenched
* Do make sure you know whether your hearing aids are waterproof or water-resistant
* Do invest in a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier to avoid ear infections and component damage in non-waterproof hearing aids
The skies are friendly for hearing aid wearers
Before you get on a plane, you should know that hearing aids sometimes set off metal detectors during security screenings. Don't panic - you can let the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent know verbally or by using a downloadable TSA Notification Card that you wear hearing aids before setting off any alarms. The good news is hearing aids can be scanned without fear of damage.
Once you board your flight, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines exempt hearing aids from the 'turn off all electronic devices' mandate. So:
* Don't turn them off during your flight, as you might miss important information shared by the pilot or flight attendants
* Do feel free to wear hearing aids through body scanners or send them through X-ray in a carryon
Hitting the road with hearing aids
Whether you're going on a day trip or cross-country adventure, save yourself time and worry by assembling a kit for your hearing aids well in advance. Just remember:
* Do bring extra batteries or a charger
* Do bring spare tubes and filters
* Do include a dryer and cleaning equipment
* Do include a card with the name/number of a local hearing aid provider, in case of emergency
* Do pack a storage case
This summer enjoy listening to crickets chirping while you sit by a campfire, the laughter of kids playing at the beach, or the sound of that mai tai sliding up through your straw as you lounge poolside. Just follow these simple do's and don'ts to make sure your hearing aids keep up with your summertime lifestyle.

It's funny how a couple of letters can change the meaning of a word entirely. Take "racy" and "racing," for example. One implies a certain charge of sexuality, while the other refers to the competition of getting from Point A to Point B the quickest. Pamela Anderson, for example, would be one we'd categorize under the former, but now the Canadian model/actress/bombshell is breaking into the latter by launching her own racing team.

If it seems to you that just about every year the powers-that-be change the classes in Le Mans racing, well, you're not far off.

The Triple Crown of Motorsport is an elusive distinction earned by only a handful of drivers in the history of motor racing. It's elusive partly because it evades definition, but given its immense difficulty, we'll take the broadest possible: To score the Triple Crown, a driver has to win either the Indianapolis 500 or the Indy/CART title, plus either the Monaco Grand Prix or the F1 drivers' title and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Fortunately not in the same year, but over the span of a career.

Serves 6 to 8, with leftovers
Unlike the pork loin, the Boston butt, or pork shoulder butt, is ideal for long, slow, moist cooking. Prunes, like many fruits, complement the sweet and succulent flavors of pork, and port wine provides a nice undertone of sweetness and fruit. We recommend you use a rolled and tied boneless butt since it 5 easier to carve and serve, but a bone-in roast will do as well. We like to serve this dish to company, with Brussels sprouts braised with chestnuts and an earthy red Burgundy from the Cotes de Nuits or a full-bodied Oregon Pinot Noir.
Flavor Step
Combine all the herbs and spices for the rub in a small bowl and rub generously all over the meat.
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 4-to-6-pound boneless or bone-in
Boston butt or pork shoulder butt, trimmed
of most external fat
2 cups fresh or frozen pearl onions,
partially defrosted if frozen
1 cup finely chopped leeks (white part only)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup port wine
1/2 cup beef or chicken stock
1 cup pitted prunes
1/4 cup Armagnac, Slivovitz
(plum brandy), or other brandy (optional)
2 bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the oil over high heat in a heavy casserole or Dutch oven just large enough to hold the pork. Brown the pork on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot and add the pearl onions, leeks, and carrots. Lower the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the port and stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the prunes, the optional brandy, and the bay leaves and bring to a boil. Put the pork back in and spoon some of the prunes and vegetables over the top. Cover the pot with foil and fit the lid on tightly.
Place the pot in the middle of the oven and cook for about 1-1/2 hours, or until the pork is quite tender and registers 160 degrees to 165 degrees F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Remove the pork from the pot and cover loosely to keep warm. The final temperature of the meat after resting for 10 minutes or so may read 170 degrees to 175 degrees F.
Skim off any fat from the cooking juices. Remove 6 of the prunes and purée them in a food processor or blender. Stir the purée back into the sauce to thicken it. Remove the bay leaves and taste the sauce for salt and pepper. Remove the strings from the pork if necessary, and carve into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with the sauce and prunes and vegetables.
