stupid question?
I am new here, and have never been snowboarding. My husband boards and my daughter loves to ski (she is 7).
I have lost 110 pounds in the past 4 months, and desperatly want to join in on the fun. After a week and visiting 6 different stores and seeing 2 boot fitters my dream of getting into a ski boot was crushed. Neither boot fitter was willing to take on the task of modifying a pair of boots enough to fit my calf. At the point where the boot sits it is more than 20 inches around, and it doesnt really taper a whole lot toward the bottom. I am still overweight. I know this...so please dont answer with some nasty comment.
My question is this. How bad of an idea is it to cut out the tongue part of the liner in a snowboarding boot? I would leave the outer tongue and the rest of the liner alone. I think doing this might allow the boot to actually come close to closing and allow me to actually take a few lessons. I am not willing to wait until next year. I have waited 10 years already, and my daughter is bored of the bunny hill...she cant leave the bunny hill until I am able to go with her.
Is this a horribly bad idea for safety reasons, or just for comfort reasons?
Thanks so much for your thoughts and responses. :)
as long as it's a 100% lace up boot (no lace-lock on tongue), I guess you could do it. The problems are going to be a lack of comfort in the tongue area (no padding) and, since there's a snow gasket/barrier attached to the tongue, water from melting snow will get in the boot. I usually never recommend used boots, but this experiment looks like the possible exception.
Only 20 inches around and they couldn't get it to fit? That's bullshit I once worked on a boot where the woman was 24 inches around and it only took about 2 hours of work to get her in a boot that fit her foot lengthwise and still accomodated the wider calf. Also props on losing that much weight I know how tough that is dropped from 280 to 165.
What I would personally look for is a low cut boot. I think it was either Salomon or Ride that had a boot with a low cut in the back for bigger calves and had a piece that was attached with elastic so it would bow out. If you can find a boot like that I would cut the elastic so this bonus piece pops out, then put in a heel wedge to raise you up slightly to fit your calf. Or you could try to find a liner-less boot they do exist I think Deeluxe makes an adult one and maybe Salomon. Or food for thought check out the DC park boot the liner itself only goes up to the ankle except on the tongue of the boot and with a heel wedge you might fit OK in the boot.
I will chime in a little bit. I lost 50 pounds so that I could learn to snowboard back in 2010 and I skied a few years prior to losing weight and I had a hell of a time finding ski boots to fit - I have HUGE calves also - always have and still do. I finally found ONE pair of ski boots that I could actually wear but my husband modified them to fit me to my liking. It got me to learn to ski, somewhat, but I just could never progress past the blue runs on skis so I tried snowboarding in 2010 with my goal to lose 50 pounds and turn 50 all in the same year AND try to learn to snowboard. Even with my large calves my hard part was my size 6 1/2 EEE (triple E wide feet). Finally two weeks ago tried some Ride Sash Boa boots and they are wide enough and fit great. They fit my calves, but in your case, I would say do whatever you feel you need to do or modify them to work for you. FYI I also worried about how to get up from the sitting position on a snowboard as I have very week knees and not nimble like the old days. My husband rigged me up up a "handle" attached to one of my bindings and I pull on the hand and can stand up that way. I can roll over and stand up on my toe edge now, but when I was learning it was hard for me to start on my toe edge and to turn to heelside - this handle thing really help me. If you want to watch my learning to snowboard and laugh at my falls, here you go!
Wishing you luck and have fun!!
I agree with BurtonAvenger's post above mine - read it after I posted. Thanks for your suggestions BurtonAvenger!
I have to admit I am an Ebay junkie! I will buy anything for $20 or less. They are all different thicknesses as we are in California so it can be really cold or really warm and some don't have liners and some do. What's funny is you are not the first one to comment on the jackets - I never noticed - shows how much I'm used to them! lol I get bored wearing the same thing every weekend! lol
Well, you look stylish. :)
in the beginning, someone could have saved your butt a lot of bruising by telling you to use your edges. That flat basing part was hard to watch...but it definitely looks like you're getting it

[edit added] ...after re-reading your OP, I might have misunderstood what you wanted to do. R you looking to ski or snowboard? My boot comments only apply to SB boots! (Cuz I kno squat about ski equip! and only little more than that about snowboarding!) ;)
I developed an arthritic condition that was being treated with steroids & I went from my usual tubby 270-280 to a whopping 315 without eating a single extra donut or pizza pie!!

I've just finished high school and have been looking into teaching English abroad as a career path. Originally I was simply going to take a teaching course at University. However, after browsing the internet I found heaps of websites advertising that no real qualifications are needed to teach English abroad, and you simply need to take some 4 week course. I don't want to take some dodgy course, and I would like to feel comfortable in myself during travelling and teaching, that I have proper teaching qualifications.
So, I'm just curious as to what experienced, TEFL teachers would recommend. My current plan is to finish a teaching degree at University, and then complete a TEFL course as well. Is this a good way to go? Or is University not necessary?
Also, in teaching abroad, am I better off doing a Bachelor of Education (Primary), (Secondary) or both? And, what trusted companies could you suggest that give TEFL certificates?
Any help or advice at all would be very much appreciated! Thanks

SYRACUSE, NY - Syracuse senior Stephen Keogh scored his third goal of the game 15 seconds into the second overtime to lift the top-ranked Orange to a 5-4 victory over Johns Hopkins before a crowd of 8,241 at the Carrier Dome Saturday evening. Syracuse improves to 6-0, while the Blue Jays slip to 5-2.
After losing 10 of the first 13 faceoffs in the game, the Orange got the one that counted as senior Joel White came up with the loose ball on the faceoff in the second overtime and quickly worked the ball to Jeremy Thompson. Thompson carried into the zone and found Keogh to his left and he wasted no time blowing home the game-winner.
In a game much more exciting than the final score might indicate, the Blue Jays led 4-3 at the end of the third quarter after Zach Palmer's second unassisted goal of the game with 3:07 remaining in the period gave JHU a one-goal lead. That lead held for nearly the entire fourth quarter on the strength on the spectacular play of sophomore goalie Pierce Bassett, who posted seven of his 16 saves in the fourth quarter.
Still, the Orange pressed and finally capitalized when Keogh polished off a patient possession with his second goal of the game with 1:40 remaining in regulation. The Blue Jays managed to force overtime after killing off a penalty in the last minute with Bassett stopping Tim Desko in the final seconds.
Both teams had chances to win in the first overtime as Hopkins fired four shots at senior John Galloway and Syracuse managed a pair on Bassett, but the first extra session settled nothing after a Kyle Wharton goal for Johns Hopkins was waived off with four seconds remaining for being in the crease. Keogh's goal quickly ended the dramatics in the second overtime.
The Orange needed just 65 seconds to open the scoring as senior Josh Amidon took a nifty feed from sophomore JoJo Marasco and buried an eight-yard shot to give SU the early one-goal advantage. By the time Syracuse scored again, more than 27 minutes had elapsed and the Blue Jays had crafted a 3-1 lead.
Sophomore John Ranagan answered Amidon's early strike when he scored on an ally dodge in an unsettled situation with just under five minutes remaining in the opening period, which ended with the score tied 1-1 and the young Blue Jays gaining momentum as the period wore on.
Ranagan and linemate John Greeley, playing in his hometown for the first time in his career, teamed up to give JHU a 2-1 lead less than a minute into the second period as Greeley worked in from the flank and flipped a pass to Ranagan, who never broke stride and beat Galloway from seven yards out.
Hopkins extended its lead to 3-1 - the first time this season Syracuse has been down by two goals - when Palmer dodged from behind and used his defender as a perfect screen to beat Galloway low to the far side.
Syracuse ended its scoring drought with just under two minutes remaining in the first half when Tom Palasek threaded a perfect pass to Keogh on the crease and Keogh did what he does best, one-time it home from the doorstep to make it 3-2 at the half.
The Orange drew even midway through the third quarter when Amidon struck off an assist from Palasek. The tie stood for just over four minutes before Palmer's second goal gave JHU the 4-3 lead that held until the final two minutes of regulation.
Bassett finished with 16 saves, the second-highest total of his career, and Ranagan and Palmer led the way offensively with their two goals apiece. Senior Matt Dolente continued his strong play on faceoffs as he won 10-of-14 and grabbed six ground balls on the night.

Since weight will not be a factor would the FP or the BM helmet be a better starting place or is there an even better place to start? I know newbs with questions are annoying but thanks for the time.

Hi I have just completed a course run by a British Council Accredited Language School in Northern Ireland; I have no doubts that the qualification I have will be accepted but I do have doubts about my employment prospects at the present time as I am only just begining to learn a second language. I can read basic Spanish and get around Spain OK but couldn't as yet be considered conversant on any meaningful level.
I have been told time and time again by various people that this should have no bearing at all on my immediate employment prospects but I am very doubtful about this. Could you be honest an help me with this?

On Fox, Christopher Hahn Exposes Republican Senators' Constant Obstructionism
Appearing on Fox News today, Fox News contributor Christopher Hahn called out conservative talking points by pointing out that Senate Republicans constantly resort to filibusters to block bills that have the support of a majority of senators.
As we've pointed out [1], the conservative media have been hiding Republican obstructionism in order to label Democratic senators as "lazy" and "do-nothing." But Republicans have repeatedly resorted to filibusters to block legislation -- such as bills to ensure that the richest Americans pay their fair share in taxes -- that would otherwise have passed the Senate. Republicans are on a pace to filibuster more often than Democrats did when they were in the minority.
Today, Republican strategist Chip Saltsman, a regular Fox guest, claimed that the Republican House is passing bills but the Democratic Senate is not. In response, Hahn pointed out that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that his most important goal was "to make sure that President Obama was a one-term president." Hahn added that McConnell has tried to do that by "block[ing] everything, using the filibuster more than any time in the history of this country."
But it doesn't sound like conservatives are backing down from their attempts to paint black as white. During the segment, Saltsman tried to prove that Republicans are trying to act while Democrats are not by saying, "Even the highway bill, which a lot of people agree on, they passed one in the House that was actually paid for. The Senate won't even pick it up."
That is exactly the opposite of what has happened. Under the control of Democrats, the Senate passed a multi-year extension of federal highway construction programs. The bill received bipartisan support [2], with Democrats voting unanimously for the bill and Republicans evenly split.
By contrast, the House has not even brought up [3] a long-term highway bill for consideration. Instead, it has managed only to pass a series of short-term extensions of the highway programs. The House's most recent extension [4] lasts only until September 30 and passed without the support [5] of most Democrats.
So, when pressed to come up with an example of Republicans taking action while Democrats do nothing, Saltsman actually proved the opposite.

NOTE: The Central Library parking lot will be closed Friday, June 23 through Sunday, June 25 for repairs. We appreciate your patience.
Log in
Earlier this spring, the American Library Association sent a letter to President Obama. Not surprisingly, the association stressed that "libraries are perfectly positioned to disseminate information relevant to the issues and challenges that face us as a nation."
The letter also cited the increase use of libraries; our role in life-long learning; various federal programs that impact libraries including No Child Left Behind and the USA Patriot Act; and the need for more funding.
The budget the President recently submitted did include a slight increase in federal funding for libraries through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, primarily for state library agencies.
In Michigan some of the federal money to the Library of Michigan is a match to state money which funds MeLCat and MeL databases. The federal and state funding needs to continue if those services are to be available to our patrons.
I'll keep you informed as budget deliberations and the impact on our services becomes clearer.

AMES, Iowa — The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Geospatial Technology Program is offering an introductory geographic information systems short course this summer.
"Essentials of ArcGIS 10.1" is a two-day course that explores the new, easy-to-use features in ArcGIS 10.1: ArcMap, ArcToolbox and ArcCatalog. Participants receive hands-on instruction from experienced GIS specialists, along with a set of newly revised tutorials. The course is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 22–23, 2013, and will be conducted at the ISU Extension and Outreach Community and Economic Development Program office at the ISU Research Park in Ames.
Topics covered include
Although designed for those with no GIS experience, the course has been valuable for experienced GIS users to improve their skills. Experience using Windows-based applications is recommended.
For professionals looking for a way to simply get started with GIS technology, this is the place to begin. The course begins by assuming no knowledge of GIS and builds from that point on to developing foundational skills. By day two, participants will be designing their own maps and doing simple geospatial analysis. Upon finishing the course, participants receive a certificate of completion, and the instructors continue to avail themselves to course graduate as they adapt their new skills to their own projects.
The fee for the two-day workshop is $500, which includes course tutorials, handouts, snacks and beverages. Lodging and meals are not included.
Advance registration is required and enrollment is limited to 12 participants per course. If two or more people from the same organization register for the same course(s) in this series, each registrant also will receive a 10 percent discount. An organization may reserve all 12 seats for a particular course at a 15 percent discount.
Alan Jensen, ISU Extension community development specialist, and Chris Seeger, ISU Extension landscape architect and associate professor of landscape architecture, will teach the short course. For more information, check out the new website at www.extension.iastate.edu/communities/gis or contact Nora Ladjahasan at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-294-0734.

A nightmare is a disturbing dream associated with negative feelings, such as anxiety or fear. Nightmares are common, and occasional nightmares usually are nothing to worry about. However, they may become a problem if you have them often and they disrupt your sleep or cause you to fear going to sleep. A diagnosis of nightmare disorder is only made if nightmares cause ongoing distress or problems with daytime functioning.
Nightmares may begin in children between 3 and 6 years old and tend to decrease after about age 10. Until age 13, boys and girls appear to have nightmares in equal numbers. At age 13, nightmares seem to be more prevalent in girls than boys. Some people have them as teens or adults or throughout their lives.
Nightmare disorder is referred to by doctors as a parasomnia — a type of sleep disorder that involves undesirable experiences that occur while you're falling asleep, during sleep or when you're waking up. Nightmares usually occur during the stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM).
You normally go through four to six sleep cycles a night, cycling through the sleep stages in about 90 minutes. Your REM stage lengthens with each cycle, from several minutes in the first cycle to up to an hour in the last. You're more likely to have a nightmare in the second half to the last third of your night.
A nightmare may involve these features:
You may have nightmare disorder if, in addition to the above:
Children's nightmare content varies with age, typically becoming more complex. While a young child might dream of monsters, an older child might have nightmares about school or difficulties at home.
Occasional nightmares aren't usually a cause for concern. If your child has nightmares, you can simply mention them at a routine well-child exam.
Talk to your doctor sooner if nightmares:
Nightmares are only considered a disorder if disturbing dreams cause you distress or keep you from getting enough sleep. Nightmares can be triggered by many factors, including:
Nightmare disorder may cause:
For children, nightmares tend to decrease by the time they're teenagers. However, if you have concerns about safety or underlying conditions, you may want to see your doctor. Your doctor may refer you to a sleep specialist.
It's a good idea to prepare for your appointment. Here's some information to help you.
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you several questions, including:
There are no tests routinely done to diagnose nightmare disorder. Recurrent nightmares can sometimes indicate underlying anxiety. If that's likely, the doctor may refer the child to a psychologist for assessment and management.
Nightmare disorder should be distinguished from:
Occasionally, if your sleep is severely disturbed, your doctor may recommend an overnight sleep study to help determine if the nightmares are connected to another sleep disorder.
A sleep study (polysomnography) is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders and typically requires that you spend the night in a sleep lab. During the test, sensors are placed on your head and body to record your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movements. In some studies, a video camera will record your sleep.
Your doctor will review the information to determine whether you have any sleep disorders.
Treatment for nightmares isn't usually necessary. If the nightmares are causing you distress and interfering with your daytime functioning, talk to your doctor. The cause of the nightmare disorder helps determine treatment.
If you're having nightmares, try some relaxation techniques before bedtime. Take a warm bath, meditate or practice deep breathing. A consistent bedtime routine is important. If your child is struggling with nightmares, be patient, calm and reassuring. Sometimes a little creativity helps, too.

Floyd's wife LuLu was going into labor, with her baby, and since they lived so far up in the woods and didn't have a phone,, Floyd told one of the other jkids to get on the tractor and go fetch the dr.

A married couple was lying in bed one night. The wife is all curled up, ready to go to sleep, as the husband turns his bed lamp on to read a book. As he's reading, he periodically reaches over to his wife, and fondles her "special area." He does this a few times, but only for very short intervals before turning back to read his book.
The wife gradually becomes more and more aroused... and, assuming that her husband is seeking some encouragement, she gets up and starts stripping right in front of him.
The husband is confused and asks, "Why are you taking off your clothes?" His wife replies, "You were rubbing me downtown.... I thought it was foreplay."
The husband says, "No, not at all." His wife asks angrily, "Well, then what the hell were you doing?" He says... "I was just wetting my fingers so I could turn the pages."
Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good, he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him."
The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little Billy aside to ask him if that was really true.
"No" said Billy, "He plays baseball for the Rockies but I was just too embarrassed to say."

Rodeo Bulls............................................. ..........................................A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls.
They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year."
They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year."
The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."
They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "This bull mated 365 times last year".
The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said, "That's once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one."
The husband looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow?"

When the cook over-did the order for a rare steak, he made a missed steak.
Daily funny
One morning, three Southerners and three Yankees were in a ticket
counter line at a train station. The three Northerners each bought a ticket
and watched as the three Southerners bought just one ticket.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one
of the Yankees.
"Watch and learn," answered one of the boys from the South.
All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat down, but the
three Southerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect
tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "Ticket, please."
The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in
hand. The conductor took it and moved on.
The Yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea;
indeed, so clever they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and
save some money.
That afternoon when they got back to the station, they bought a single
ticket for the return trip and watched, while to their astonishment, the
three Southerners didn't buy even one ticket.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked a perplexed
"Watch and learn," answered the three Southern boys in unison.
When they boarded the train, the three Northerners crammed themselves
into a toilet and the three Southerners crammed into another toilet just
down the way.
Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Southerners left their
toilet and walked over to the toilet in which the Yankees were hiding.
The Southerner knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."
There's just no way on God's green earth to explain how the Yankees ever
won the war.

A college's retention rate reflects the student body's overall interest in the college. This figure can explain many factors that compose the attractiveness of a college, including the quality of its teaching staff, the relevance of the curriculum, and the perceived value of what is being taught. The retention rate figures are provided by the NCES database. The NCES defines retention rate as the percentage of first-time bachelor's (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from fall 2011 who enrolled again in fall 2012.
The NCES database did not have retention rate figures for all of the colleges on our list. We did not, however, want to penalize those colleges without data. To that end, we simply excluded those schools from the rankings in this category.

"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"I needed the announcements for my first little girl to be perfection and they were. I ordered the sample first so I knew ahead of time how pretty they were in person. My only regret is not splurging on the type of paper. The pearl shimmer would have made them even more beautiful."
"Loved these announcements that I bought to send out for the birth of my little girl. I really liked the flower frame. I also really like that the announcement was 'completed' by having a matching back. Would definitely recommend. Shipping, however, was very slow and arrived two days later than the expected delivery date, even though I paid extra for fast shipping."

A school in Sweden has decided to ensure their children eat lunch and prevent any stray children from entering the school cafeteria in search of some wonderful food that is offered in the cafeteria. At the Lilja school in Vannas, students must give a fingerprint accompanied by a four digit code in order to receive a plate of school food. The plan prevents unauthorized people from eating free in the cafeteria.
The case of the fingerprint is now headed for a court decision. Is making children provide a fingerprint an infringement of their right to privacy?
Frankly, it is hard to believe any normal person would sneak into a school cafeteria in search of food. They would be better off at a homeless shelter.

From all that I've heard and read, it flowers mainly between May and September, but might begin as early as atumn in some areas. But I understand that it only flowers every 4 years, but this may be incorrect and might be a regional thing.Leigh
Yep, you're spot on Shan. Because the fourth year will not be the same for every tree, different trees will probably have blossom each year, just not the same trees.
That's great about the spotted gum. I wonder if this is the same tree as the lemon scented gum I planted?Shouldn't the same type of tree flower in the same year in the same area?Do any of you spotted gum area folks have photos?Lone

CHAPEL HILL -- James Michael McAdoo had 16 points and eight rebounds to help No. 11 North Carolina beat Shaw 81-54 on Friday night in its only preseason game.
Freshman forward Joel James added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Tar Heels, who missed 10 of their first 11 3-point attempts and trailed early in the second half before rallying to score 23 consecutive points.
"I thought it was a really good night for us," head coach Roy Williams said. "I even liked it when they took the lead there because those are the kinds of things that we're going to face all year, so I liked the way our guys responded. We didn't shoot the ball very well. I said that last year we were going to be a really good shooting team, and I think this is a team that's going to be even better than that."Karron Johnson had 17 points to lead the Bears, a member of the Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
UNC's starting wing players shot a combined 6 for 19, but Leslie McDonald had 12 points off the bench, and P.J. Hairston scored eight straight points – including a pair of 3-pointers – to start the team's second-half surge.
"We just knew that our shots weren't falling, so we had to
definitely do it on the defensive end," said junior wing Reggie Bullock. "I believe that the defensive pressure started
with Dexter (Strickland), P.J. (Hairston) and Leslie (McDonald) when they were
in just to give us momentum on the defensive end. Once we started doing that,
we knew that we just had to keep the momentum up for us to survive in the
The Tar Heels open the regular season Nov. 9 against Gardner-Webb.

The lingering snow and frigid cold blanketing New York and New Jersey finally started to thaw this weekend. Visible pavement on the sidewalk meant my little dog could complete her daily walk without immediately limping pathetically, paws encrusted with ice pellets and packed snow after a few steps. But today it's snowing again; another day off for the kids and me one step closer to buying Alpine booties for the pooch.
I actually love it when a serious snowfall forces us to stay home — it looks quietly beautiful through the windows of a warm house and there's none of the dropping off, picking up or driving to and fro required on every other day.
It means that I have a few minutes to catch up here on this blog, something that's been a challenge lately as I still work on getting my family settled into a new home – it's been an enormous change in my life, to say the least. Nonetheless, there've been things percolating in my head foodwise, and as always, anything chocolate is a welcome solace and a motivation to bake something.
I bought a stunning new cookbook, Wild Rosemary & Lemon Cake. It's a compilation of recipes and gorgeous photography from the Italian Amalfi Coast. Looking at the pages in the dead of winter and imagining myself on a cliffside patio in Positano sipping limoncello has a warming affect on my insides, not to mention my entire well being.

There is a school of thought, led by none other than Brother Adam, that they CANNOT tell their queen from another, but they can tell a queen who is currently laying from one that's been in a cage a few days.
Does anyone understand how this works? If you pinch a queen and put her in alcohol, this works as a lure to attract swarms. But if instead of pinching her, you put that same queen into an existing hive, the bees would probably kill her.

The war between the United States and Mexico occurred one hundred fifty years ago, but Mexico is once again involved in a war for its very survival–with itself! The Mexican government has ordered over 5,000 troops and police to confront the drug cartel in Michoacan and drive them out of business. In recent days, the la Familia cartel unleashed a war against the police that resulted in the death of 12 off-duty officers. The cartel has also been blasting police stations and throwing grenades in order to demonstrate their fire power.
At some point, Mexico has to realize their nation is engaged in a civil war which requires creating an army that effectively can handle drug thugs. The other aspect of this war is removing its cause by legalizing drugs in order to deprive drug cartels of their source of income.

your IPv6 Connection
is a web portal devoted to providing information, consultation and hardware for the IPv6 Internet Community. With custom articles specifically related to IPv6 and any technology that intersects it, we hope to educate the public on many of the benefits that we believe IPv6 can offer.
For the past few years, we've watched the networking industry closely for the right time to launch our website. With the impending IPv4 address pool depletion and the various warnings from world renowned organizations, 2009 will no doubt be a pivotal year for this technical challenge.
Keeping up to date news articles on IPv6 and the worldwide deployment, we believe that we can help fuel discussions that will lead to many new applications that can benefit from this upgrade.
We also believe that IPv6 will continue to energize the minds that will develop the next generation of internet technologies. We are always open to suggestions on how we can better serve the networking industry specifically related to IPv6 and its deployment.

|I think it was common knowladge that the Greyhounds were Lifan Honda clone engines.. 1 thing that I have noticed is that push mowers this year are now mostly powered by Briggs and Stratton, where as last year, most were Lifan powered ( all were self branded ). It also may have somthing to do with the over rated engine lawsuits, as the new Predators are now marked only by the displacement.. They look like they are still the same engine, with some diffrent covers in place
If you can find a store that still has some of the Greyhound engines in stock I think the 6.5 HP is only about $79 right now but that is because they are discontinuing them and clearing out the inventory, the new Predator engine is supposed to be in stock soon. It sounds like a winner BUT we have to remember this is Harbor Freight!
If you read my first post that about sums up what I have seen myself with mine and heard from others, they are powerful, they seem to be reliable and fairly tough for the major components but small parts tend to fall off. The bottom line is they seem to last as far as the engine itself but be prepared to repair external brackets and such, mine is over three years old, has been run for untold numbers of hours powering a log splitter that is used by myself and all my neighbors. It almost always starts on the first or second pull, does not leak or blow oil and has not lost power from wear, I would not hesitate to buy another one, STILL most people would be seriously annoyed by the shoddy way brackets and such are attached and I can certainly understand. This new engine sounds like it may be a lot better but until they become avaliable, which they should shortly, we just won't know for sure.
ive been looking at some small engines for my pressure washer and a rototiller i'm getting
and getting one from HF didnt even enter my mind
are they any good?
or are they just cheap and kinda ok?
i would rather pay more $$ if the quality is alot better
|LOL Don't know. Seems the displacement increase will make them illegal for some classes of kart racing, at least until the tracks come up w/a weight rule or something for them.
This is the one that says cast iron cylinder, I wonder if they even know?
The following is in the latest flier from HF that gets mailed out. Says "Durable HFX1 Aluminum die-cast cylinders for minimum weight and maximum performance."
I suppose that could mean an aluminum cylinder w/liner, but I'd have expected them to have included that info as a "plus".
EDIT- My browser just decided to let me see the link above- that's the same info as the flier.
I don't think it is an Aluminum bore.
8.8 ft. lbs. @ 2500 RPM
Precision machined aluminum alloy crankcase with heavy duty cast iron cylinder
Ball bearing support shaft for long life
Fuel shut off for safe transport
Recoil start
It says cast iron cylinder but looking at the pics I think that must mean a cast iron liner. The HF E-mail description actually says it has a forged steel crankshaft and commercial grade ball bearings but I would have to actually see that before I believe it!
The description I quoted above from the HF website says a cast iron cylinder but the link below seems to indicate an Aluminum cylinder.
Maybe that is an Aluminum cylinder with an iron bore?
|The Greyhound has an iron cylinder liner, IIRC. The new engine has an aluminum bore. I don't care for that. The rest is probably comparable to the GH mill.
New HF gas engine
I see Harbor Freight has replaced it's line of small gas engines with the new "Predator" brand which replaces the "Greyhound" line, it remains to be seen if they are an increase in quality or even cheaper built than the old models. I have a 6.5 HP (It is as powerful as I have seen with that rating) "Greyhound" on my log splitter and it's kind of mixed as to whether it could be called good or bad. On the plus side it is powerful, it will run with any 6.5 HP rated engine out there, it starts easily, usually on the second pull, it has a lot of hard hours on it now and it does not leak oil nor is it showing signs of losing power from wear plus (the best part ) I got the darn thing for only a little over $80 while it was on sale and with a 20% off coupon. The negatives are it is constantly having parts fall off! The entire throttle linkage bracket and all fell off several times until I made a new bracket and the gas cap was a bad joke, it leaked profusely for a while and then the clip on the bottom that holds it to the tank fell off, the spot welds that were supposed to hold it on were little more than heat stains! With just a little bit of extra attention those little engines would have been really good but while the major components seem to be reliable enough it seems small items are just half done. Let's hope these are better.

BST threads are locked automatically after thirty days without posting. I opened your thread, please post new pictures with today's date.
Will post tomorrow, and even though i haven't posted, i kept bumping it.
Posted 04 October 2012 - 07:02 PM
The bump button is newer than the automatic closure system, I don't think they were integrated so that the 30 days is reset after each bump. So just post once every other week or so, and keep using the bump button, so that it doesn't close your thread again.

In-Game Blog/Box score
WEST POINT, N.Y. - Will Manny scored a career-high seven goals and nine points to lead the No. 11 UMass men's lacrosse team to a 12-9 season-opening win at Army on Friday afternoon at Michie Stadium. Manny's nine-point performance was the first since Jeff Zywicki did the same against Albany in 2003. The win was also head coach Greg Cannella's 150th career victory.
UMass (1-0) will host No. 12 Bucknell next Saturday at Garber Field to open the home slate of action.
Along with Manny's career day, Kyle Smith posted a career-high four goals including a pair of key tallies late in the fourth quarter after Army (0-1) had pulled within a goal.
Tim McCormack picked up with win in cage making eight saves.
The Black Knights were led by Andrew Boyd, Garrett Thul, and John Glesener who each had two goals. Zach Palmieri took the loss in goal making 10 saves.
Smith started the scoring on the day at the 12:18 mark of the first quarter. His goal was followed up by a pair of Manny tallies as the Minutemen took a 3-0 lead with 4:24 left in the first. Army climbed back with a pair of markers to make it a 3-2 game heading into the second quarter.
With a man-up advantage still left from the end of the first, Manny capitalized just 14 seconds into the second quarter giving UMass a 4-2 lead. Colin Fleming added a goal just over two minutes later to put the Minutemen up by three.
Army again answered with a pair of goals, but Manny added his fourth and fifth goals of the first half followed by a man-up score from Smith to give UMass an 8-5 lead at halftime.
The teams traded a pair of goals in the second half with Manny scoring his sixth and seventh tallies in that frame. His unassisted goal off a losse ball outside the creast gave the Minutemen a 10-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Thul scored at the 11:00 mark of the fourth quarter and Glesener added another tally with 7:02 left to pull the Black Knights within one, 10-9, but Smith added another pair of goals and the defense stood tall aided by three saves from McCormack in the final six minutes.
Manny narrowly missed tying the UMass record for most goals in a game when his shot with 5:57 left in the game hit the inside of the backside post.
The Minutemen outshot Army 36-to-32 for the day and were 2-for-3 with the man-up advantage, while holding the Black Knights to just 1-for-3 with the extra man.

Small plane makes emergency landing in Redmond
Skids to safe stop after 2 of 3 landing gears don't fully extend
REDMOND, Ore. - Two people aboard a Bend flight school's small plane that encountered landing gear problems walked away unhurt from an emergency landing on its belly at Redmond Airport Thursday evening, authorities said.
Fire officials said the trouble began around 5 p.m. when a Cessna 172 practicing touch-and-go landings at Bend Airport got an indicator light of a problem with one of its three landing gears.
The pilot radioed the Redmond FAA tower and diverted north for a flyby of the tower, for a visual inspection.
Fire officials said they determined that two of the three landing gears were only partly down -- although the instrument panel lights indicated the reverse was the case.
A "Level 2" alert was called at the airport, and every Redmond fire station responded to deal with whatever happened, including the airport's large Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicle.
That meant commercial flights had to be delayed and other runways closed, since fire crews and that unit were tied up.
"This type of situation probably happens only once or twice a year," said Redmond Fire Marshal Traci Cooper, "We have smaller calls -- anything from (a pilot reporting) 'I think I might have a problem,' to 'I have a major problem, and I'm going to try to put it in here' -- it's more of a (potential) crash-type situation."
No one was injured, officials said, and flights resumed a short time later.

Category: name Max means
Max, the name of both the child hero and the young actor who plays him in Where The Wild Things Are, is one of the hottest boys' names these days.
Max can stand on its own or may be a short form of the ancient Roman name Maximus, which means "greatest," or of Maximilian or Maxwell. It's one of the down-to-earth cigar-chomping grandpa names last popular a hundred years ago and enjoying a huge revival now. Like brothers Sam and Jake, Max is unpretentious and friendly but also sounds cool.
Celebrities led the way in launching the revival of the name, starting in the late 70s and early 80s. Stars who are the parents of now-grown kids named Max include Dustin Hoffman, Henry Winkler, Steven Spielberg, and Nora Ephron & Carl Bernstein.

Re: Treecycle
If this gets printed it will be my first ever yellow shirt. I love it!
Re: Recursive Recycle
Very nice!
Re: Re-Circle Of Life
My initial response before I even read any comments was "shouldn't it be an antelope?" I like it, and I would definitely wear it, but I'd prefer an antelope to make the reference clear to everyone who knows it
Re: Happy Recycler
And how about a green t-shirt instead of blue. ?
Re: His favorite "R" is Reduce.

Love your color choices! I'm really into the monochrome thing. And rear-gyle is a word, but it doesn't mean what you think it does (hint: I wouldn't use it in church).

neuropsychosocial wrote:No, it's on the left side of the shirt. Right side from the perspective of the viewer, left side from the perspective of the shirt.
I asked Narfcake this a while back, and he said he couldn't recall a shirt with a design element solely on the right side of the shirt. As I flip through old shirts, I observe that off-center designs are much more likely to be placed solely on the left side of the shirt, or (I'm not quite sure how to explain this) have their major design element on the left side and curve towards the right. I've never studied graphic design, although I've spent quite a few years studying how the brain processes visual images (well, mostly what happens when that process is interrupted), and I was curious about how visual art conceptualizes sidedness (or side dominance). As anyone who has googled Ramy knows, he's done some vision research, and I thought that he might have an interesting perspective on the tendency of graphic design to prefer right-sidedness-from-the-perspective-of-the-viewer because of the confluence of his academic background and artistic work.
Maybe in a predominantly right-handed society, ornamentation goes to the left to not interfere with important right hand activity? (tools & weapons & work) Even though it's a picture on a shirt & we don't all carry tools or weapons most of the time, the tradition or expectation persists, "it just looks right" on the left side.
FWIW, I'm left handed & this conversation made me realize how often I've admired those left side only designs but I never buy them
Hey, I'm glad you like it! Yah that's one of the things I struggled with in coming up with the derby image, because when you look at it at more of a full size it stands out a little better. Maybe it would look better in a different color scheme?
A late entry, but I couldn't resist

It is along the line of peanut better allergy. If you have a child with a nut allergy, can you keep all nuts out of the house of the kids that go to school with your child?
... you can bet that if the kid got stung and did have a reaction the parents would sue and even if it didn't come to anything, you'd be paying for the lawyer and court costs.
if there was documentation of a life threatening allergy, I would be nice enough to move them a little distance away.
I'd like to know what kind of person everyone thinks would even consider moving their family so close to danger, knowing their severe allergic conditions?

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
"Used on floral picture with this and it looked wonderful. My flower had pinkish/orange tints and matched the color on the sticker beautifully."
"I made this as a gift tag that said "Happy Birthday", then had "From my daughter's name" I put our last name initial where the 2 is and left off the date! Now anyone who receives a gift from her wil have a bright and cheerful "FROM" tag! Exceptional quality and detailed graphics! BEAUTIFUL! This product surpassed my expectations!"

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Carolina shutout Campbell 3-0 Wednesday evening, improving to 23-12, 4-2 on the season with the win.
The Tar Heels only needed one inning to claim the victory, scoring all three runs in the first frame. Erin Satterfield drew a walk, advancing to second on a single to left by Haleigh Dickey before coming home on a double to left by Amber Parrish. Constance Orr then singled up the middle to score both Dickey and Parrish, giving Carolina the 3-0 lead that the Tar Heels kept for the remainder of the game.
The Fighting Camels had four hits but were not able to capitalize on the eight runners on base.
Lori Spingola tossed all seven innings in the circle for the win, striking out five and giving up our hits with just one walk.
Carolina returns to Chapel Hill for another conference series this weekend with Virginia Tech. Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera will throw out the first pitch as UNC faces the Hokies at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 29. The series continues with a doubleheader on Saturday, March 30, at 1 and 3 p.m.

I'm just curious what made everyone choose between the ESB and ROTJ Fetts to model after. For me, I'm going the ESB route because that was his first appearance. That's the Fett that the made the impression on me.
Just curious as to what made the rest of you decide..
