Doc, Posey NL's best in July
Doc, Posey NL's best in July
The former first-round Draft pick was named the National League Player of the Month for July, sharing the honors with Phillies ace Roy Halladay, who earned the Pitcher of the Month Award.
Posey, the first rookie to win Player of the Month honors since Ryan Braun did so in 2007, put on an impressive hitting clinic in July. The 23-year-old compiled a .417 average while tallying 24 RBIs and 43 hits.
He also crafted one of the longest hitting streaks in the Majors this year and the longest in the NL, collecting a hit in 21 straight games from July 4-29. With the maturity of a veteran, Posey deflected the attention of the streak and instead wanted to direct his focus to the team's efforts.
"I had fun with it," Posey said after the streak ended. "I concentrated on winning ballgames as much as possible, but I guess, in a way, it's kind of nice that the attention will go back to that instead of the streak."
Posey also clubbed seven homers in July, and put up the first multi-homer game of his career in a win over the Brewers on July 7.
As good as the young Posey was at the plate, the veteran Halladay continued schooling hitters from the mound.
Continuing an impressive campaign with the Phillies, Halladay went 3-1 with a 1.54 ERA in July, with two complete-game efforts.
But perhaps what was more impressive is the fact that those nine-inning outings came against first-place clubs, Atlanta and Cincinnati.
The veteran right-hander picked up his 10th win of the season against the Braves, the team his club is chasing in the NL East. In his next start, he tossed nine shutout innings against the Reds but didn't factor in the decision. His team came out on top by winning the game, 1-0, in 11 innings.
Halladay has a 2.17 ERA, good for second in the Majors, his 13 wins on the season are tied for fourth and he boasts an astounding eight complete games, but it's safe to say his worth to the Phillies can't be measured in numbers. His efforts leading the staff have helped Philadelphia close what was a seven-game deficit in the division to two.
"He is a horse," manager Charlie Manuel said during Halladay's stellar month. "The pitches he can throw, where he takes you in a game, all of that. I feel, especially, like after we scored some runs, the crowd really got into it. There was a lot of energy going around there. Roy is good. He's going to win a lot of games for us."

Please allow me to share letter below, it is one of the many we receive from our fans who like to write and tell us about their experiences with their Duluth Pack. We love to know how you are using your pack, and how it is holding up on trail. The letter appears unedited and in its entirety. Also, please note that I address some of the suggestions at the end of the letter.
I've owned the Wanderer since 2007, abusing it as my field pack for work and carrying it as my "man-bag" almost daily. I've taken this bag with me nearly every day of the past five years, worn it for 16+ hours at a time with 20+ lbs in it, and have used it in all four seasons in northern Minnesota. It's been stepped on, slammed in doors, dragged through the mud and over rocks and between trees, submerged, frozen, dropped, thrown, and barfed on (I have young kids).
The cotton canvas is a great material. It's durable, quiet, comfortable to wear in the hot summer, dries quickly when wet, and is easy to wash. The only wear on the pack is slight fraying of the shoulder straps, and a dime-sized hole on the outside of one of the outer water bottle pockets. (Where the water bottles in the pack rub against trees). In rain, the contents of the pack stay dry, to mostly dry. The stitching, leather straps, leather cinch cord, rivets, and buckles have also held up perfectly. The cotton has faded, but that's to be expected.
It's a good-sized daypack. The pack will easily hold all my field gear for a day's work (lunch, water bottles, camera, GPS, maps, flagging, tools, foldable shovel, field notebook, field guides, fleece vest, rain jacket, etc.). Any clothing items that don't fit in the main compartment can be rolled up, tucked under the main flap, and secured with the long straps. Shoulder straps can be lengthened to accommodate larger winter jackets, or shortened to wear shirtless. The outer bottle pockets add width to the pack and sometimes make it difficult to squeeze between trees (or between people at a grocery store), but it's usually not an issue.
–This pack has an unpadded back, and bulky/pointy items (field notebooks, equipment, tools, etc.) should be packed deliberately between soft items (or on the outside of the cargo pocket) to maximize the user's comfort for extended use. Sometimes I find myself packing an extra article of clothing with which to pad equipment…not a big deal, but sometimes annoying at the end of a long day. A flat "map" pocket built in the main cargo pocket (on the strap-side of the pack) could be used for holding padding. (If a back pad was included that could double as a diaper-changing pad , it'd get super bonus points…)
–This pack is not particularly suited to carrying heavy weight for long periods of time. For most users, this may not be an issue, but a waist belt and pack stays (to transfer pack weight from the shoulders to the hips/waist) might be a welcome modification for those that carry heavy loads for long periods of time. A sternum strap might also be nice…
–This pack might benefit from some strategically placed leather patches on areas that are likely to receive heavy wear or repeated abrasion. (Bottom of pack, bottom of water bottle pockets)
Overall, the Wanderer is a super daypack for most users/uses, with quality materials and workmanship and a very nice style. Those looking for a pack to carry weightier or bulkier items may want to look to a more modern pack, or petition Duluth Pack for some upgrades. :-) This pack is worth the cost, and I love supporting local business. Thanks, Duluth Pack! ~ D
D, thank you so much for taking the time to write and share your Wanderer story with us. Rest assured that we are listening and while there is no single pack that can address every need we are trying to make our bags the most versatile in the field.
First, let me point out that we have two daypacks that have a map pocket hidden under the flap. Both the Guide Pack and the Rambler have a zippered pocket under the main flap, which work great for small pocket guides and maps.
Second, while wear and tear is not covered under our lifetime warranty we will repair bags that have become worn. Additionally, we will customize bags with leather patches or heavy weight canvas in what you see as potentially high wear areas. While a leather bottom will add weight and cost to a bag, it is a great idea to add durability and good looks to a pack.
Third, let me point you to the Bushcrafter pack, designed especially for Duluth Pack by Mike Lummio of the Bushcraft Northwest. This pack is slimmer in design and slides easily between trees and tight spaces on trail. The Bushcrafter also includes some of the features you were looking for: padded straps, waist belt, and sternum strap. It is designed for heavy loads over a period of days and is getting great reviews from those who have put it to the test.
Thanks again for taking the time to share with us. Anyone who has a story to tell or a question to ask, may send their emails to me at: [email protected]. If I can't get the answer, I know how to find the answer.

Graphics output in Mathematica 6 functions ?
one modification in Mathematica 6 is that a semicolon at the end of a plot
command suppresses the output of the complete graphics.
My question is now how can I generate graphics output from one of my
own functions?
I must not have a semicolon at the end of the Plot[] command because
otherwise no diagram appears, but on the other hand I need a semicolon
to separate the different commands within my function !?

Media declare Gingrich GOP's "ideas man," ignore his frequent falsehoods
Research ››› ››› TOM ALLISON
In designating Newt Gingrich the Republican Party's "ideas man" and suggesting that his ideas will rejuvenate the GOP, the media often ignore his frequent, and often egregious, falsehoods.
In recent months, media figures and reports have frequently labeled Fox News contributor and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich the Republican Party's "ideas man" and suggested that his ideas will rejuvenate the GOP. For instance, a March 1 New York Times Magazine feature asserted that Gingrich is "at the zenith of influence in conservative Washington" and "has always been considered a prospector in bold and counterintuitive thinking -- floating ideas, throughout his career." However, in touting Gingrich's ingenuity, the media often ignore Gingrich's frequent falsehoods about progressive politics and policy.
Falsehoods offered by Gingrich include:
- During the May 10 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Gingrich claimed that Democrats have "had control since January of 2007. They haven't passed a law making waterboarding illegal. They haven't gone into any of these things and changed law." However, the Democratically controlled Congress did pass a bill in 2008 that would have banned the use of waterboarding, had President Bush not subsequently vetoed the measure. Gingrich further suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who according to a recently released CIA document was first briefed about harsh interrogation techniques in September 2002, could have threatened "to pass a law cutting off the money" for the techniques if she objected to them. But Democrats were not in power until January 2007; Pelosi was the ranking member of the House intelligence committee and a senior minority member of the House appropriations committee in 2002, and House minority leader from 2003 to 2006.
- During a March 25 appearance on Fox News' Hannity, Gingrich falsely claimed that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner proposed to "take over non-bank, non-financial system assets" and that "Congress had passed the authorization in the stimulus bill" to pay bonuses to AIG executives. According to Gingrich, those policies "absolutely moves you towards a political dictatorship."
- In a March 3 Twitter post, Gingrich wrote that his wife, Callista, "pointed out flying into [S]anta [B]arbara you can see the oil rigs off shore," and asserted, "Ironically they have had no spill since 1969." In fact, in just the few months preceding Gingrich's post, there had been at least two oil spills reported in or near the Santa Barbara Channel, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, including one spill in mid-February and another in December 2008 that required a coordinated cleanup effort by the Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish and Game Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR), and the company responsible for the spill.
- In a February 22 New York Times article, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote that Gingrich "sees the stimulus bill as his party's ticket to a revival in 2010, as Republicans decry what they see as pork-barrel spending for projects like marsh-mouse preservation. 'You can imagine the fun people will have with that,' he said." In fact, the bill does not contain any language directing funds to the salt marsh harvest mouse, or its San Francisco wetlands habitat, a fact that the House Republican leadership aide who reportedly originated the claim has reportedly acknowledged.
- During the February 17 edition of Hannity, Gingrich falsely claimed that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act contains "$30 million to save a mouse in San Francisco" and "$8 billion for a high-speed rail to Las Vegas for Harry Reid," adding, "[I]f those aren't set-asides, I don't know what you'd call them."
- During the January 22 edition of Fox News' On the Record, Gingrich referred to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) initial "analysis" of the recovery package and purported that it analyzed the entire bill, stating: "Look, the Congressional Budget Office has reported that less than 10 percent of the bill will be spent the first year. Some of it would not be spent for 10 years. This is a bill -- this is not a stimulus package, this is a bigger government, more bureaucracy, more powerful politician package in the guise of a stimulus." In fact, as the initial Associated Press report on the CBO "analysis" noted, it did not take into account all aspects of the recovery plan. While the CBO write-up found that "only $26 billion out of $274 billion in infrastructure spending would be delivered into the economy by the Sept. 30 end of the budget year," it did not "cover tax cuts or efforts by Democrats to provide relief to cash-strapped state governments to help with their Medicaid bills," among other provisions.
- On the January 19 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, referring to President Obama's support for the Employee Free Choice Act, Gingrich claimed that Obama was "going to be for the labor unions taking away your right to a secret-ballot vote before being forced to join a union," echoing a common distortion employed by opponents of the legislation.
- Gingrich has repeatedly criticized Pelosi for using a military jet to travel to and from her congressional district, and has also falsely claimed that former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) "did not get a private plane" following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In fact, as Media Matters for America has noted, following 9-11, the House sergeant-at-arms, the Defense Department, and the White House agreed that military planes should be made available to the speaker of the House for national security reasons, and Hastert was the first speaker to use one.
- During the November 16, 2008, broadcast of CBS' Face the Nation, Gingrich said that Republicans "who are about to face this question of, how do you get the economy growing again" should ask Republican governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Jon Huntsman of Utah, "[H]ow did they get to the lowest unemployment rate in their respective regions?" However, the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics records at the time showed that Gingrich's claim was false. In fact, neither Utah nor Indiana had the lowest unemployment rate in its region, and several states with lower unemployment rates were governed by Democrats.
- During the July 31, 2008, edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich repeatedly mischaracterized Obama's energy policy, falsely suggesting that Obama's only "energy strategy" was to encourage people to keep the tires on their vehicles properly inflated and asserting that Obama "suggested if we all inflated our tires, that we would solve the problem."
- On the October 10, 2006, edition of Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich falsely claimed that Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) "promise[d] to raise taxes" if Democrats were to take over the House of Representatives in that year's midterm elections. In fact, as Media Matters noted, during a September 26, 2006, interview with host Neil Cavuto on Fox News' Your World, Rangel, who was in line to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee if Democrats gained a majority in the House, stated that a House controlled by Democrats "would not raise taxes" and "would not roll back" Bush's tax cuts enacted by Congress and set to expire in 2010.
- During Fox Broadcasting Co.'s January 31, 2006, special coverage of the State of the Union address, Gingrich falsely accused Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) of taking money from former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and asserted that this would compromise the ability of the Democrats to charge Republicans with a "culture of corruption." As Media Matters noted, a Center for Responsive Politics breakdown of Abramoff's donations shows that Abramoff made contributions only to Republicans, not Democrats.
Touting Gingrich as an intellectual force in the GOP, the media, including the following, overlook his frequent falsehoods:
- During the May 7 edition of CNN Newsroom, A.B. Stoddard, associate editor of The Hill, commented that Gingrich "still sees himself as a real leader, as a problem-solver" and that "[h]e's an ideas man."
- On the April 12 edition of the NBC-syndicated Chris Matthews Show, HDNet global correspondent Dan Rather said of Gingrich: "Whether you like him or not like him, he is an ideas person." CNN political analyst Gloria Borger responded: "Yep."
- An April 14 Associated Press article stated, "With Gingrich, a former college history professor, the ideas sometimes come so fast and furious that even supporters say they can feel overwhelmed by a conversation with him." The article also quoted claims by Republican strategist and former Gingrich aide Rich Galen that Gingrich is the GOP's "intellect-in-chief" and "the idea man." The article continued: "If Gingrich has his way, those ideas will spawn a movement, something akin to what Barack Obama found himself leading in 2008 as he ran to replace President Bush."
- During the February 26 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews described Gingrich as "the somewhat intellectual -- you know, the commissar of the right, you know, the intellectual idea man."
- During CNN's January 4 post-New Year's special After Party, Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody commented: "I think Newt Gingrich will be an interesting player to watch in the next year or two. He seems like the idea man. Or, at least, you know, he's positioning himself that way."
- A November 18, 2008, Washington Times article on the contest for chairman of the Republican Party reported that Gingrich is "considered a one-man idea factory."
- Similarly, a November 6, 2008, Washington Times article referred to Gingrich as "widely regarded as the best combination of idea man and successful insurgency leader in modern Republican history."
From the 3 p.m. ET hour of CNN Newsroom on May 7:
STODDARD: I thought it was amazing. He's bringing his greatest critic -- Newt Gingrich is doing everything that he can to prepare -- everything you need to do to prepare for a run in 2012, positioning himself as the face and voice of the party, blasting Barack Obama, as you mentioned, on TV day in and day out, on his domestic policy or, "He's a reckless deficit spender," on his foreign policy, saying he's endangering Israel and his, you know, effort to engage with Iran is a fantasy, day in, day out.
So, to bring him into a conversation and say, "Let's work together," and then put him next to Al Sharpton and someone who's, you know, an effective, independent leader like Michael Bloomberg, is the perfect -- it's just the perfect way to draw Gingrich in because Gingrich still sees himself, though he's a fierce partisan, he still sees himself as a real leader, as a problem-solver. He still loves to govern, if you know -- even though he might not be so talented at it. He's an ideas man.
So, it was sort of the perfect -- I think it was really a great trio, actually, and a good idea.
From the April 12 edition of The Chris Matthews Show, syndicated by NBC:
MATTHEWS: What about just -- Dan, you were suggesting if the Republicans just bet on failure, if they just assume Barack Obama's going to be a bollocks, that something's going to go really wrong --
RATHER: Right.
MATTHEWS: -- between now and the next election, bring in somebody who seems simply credible -- you know, a could-be-president type, like Romney -- and bet on him?
RATHER: Well, or Newt Gingrich. And I know that's going to get some laughter around because he's considered yesterday's man in the Republican Party. But this we knew about Newt Gingrich: Whether you like him or not like him, he is an ideas person --
BORGER: Yep.
RATHER: -- with a good sense of history. And again, I wouldn't rule it out if the Republicans are looking for -- saying, "Look, what we need is just somebody that can be fairly steady in case things go down and we have a real opportunity the next time around." And Gingrich will have the ideas to hold what's left of the Republican coalition together.
From the April 14 Associated Press article:
With Gingrich, a former college history professor, the ideas sometimes come so fast and furious that even supporters say they can feel overwhelmed by a conversation with him.
Rich Galen, a Washington-based Republican strategist and former Gingrich aide, called him the GOP's "intellect-in-chief."
"He's always been the idea man," Galen said.
If Gingrich has his way, those ideas will spawn a movement, something akin to what Barack Obama found himself leading in 2008 as he ran to replace President Bush. There are no signs that Gingrich has such a movement building yet. But some point to his history of rallying the Republican revolt in the mid 1990s.
From the March 1 New York Times Magazine article:
Now, as Republicans on the Hill begin to awaken from a November beating that left them semiconscious, Gingrich finds himself, once again, at the zenith of influence in conservative Washington. It is a fortuitous collision of man and moment. Having ceded the agenda to a Republican president for the past eight years (and having mostly obsessed over White House scandals for much of the decade before that), Republicans now find that they have strikingly little to say that isn't entirely reactive -- or reactionary. "It was like 'The Matrix,' when Keanu Reeves wakes up and his eyes hurt because he hasn't used them," David Winston, a pollster for House Republicans, told me recently, talking about the 2006 election that relegated Republicans to the minority for the first time since 1994. "We just didn't know how to do ideas anymore." Whatever else you think of Gingrich, he has always been considered a prospector in bold and counterintuitive thinking -- floating ideas, throughout his career, that have ranged from giving every poor child a laptop to abolishing the entire concept of adolescence.
Another frequent recipient is Paul Ryan, a young Wisconsin congressman and Gingrich protégé known for burrowing into budget issues. Ryan told me he was opening presents with his children on Christmas when his BlackBerry buzzed with a question about the tax code. "He's a total idea factory," Ryan said. "The man will have 10 ideas in an hour. Six of them will be brilliant, two of them are in the stratosphere and two of them I'll just flat-out disagree with. And then you'll get 10 more ideas in the next hour."
From the February 26 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: This party includes obviously people on the foreign policy right, the so-called neoconservatives, who have been somewhat -- Richard Perle's denying the other -- there is such a thing as neoconservative. Joe the Plumber, sort of the populist, angry anti-taxer. Huckabee, the Christian right -- modified form in his case. But it is all -- and then Gingrich, the somewhat intellectual -- you know, the commissar of the right, you know, the intellectual idea man -- all coming together. Is this an electoral force or just a --
MATTHEWS: -- a complaint group, a complaint desk?
From the January 4 CNN post-New Year's special After Party: Where We Go From Here:
BRODY: I think Newt Gingrich will be an interesting player to watch in the next year or two. He seems like the idea man. Or, at least, you know, he's positioning himself that way. It'll be interesting to watch him.
From the November 18, 2008, Washington Times article:
Mr. Gingrich, considered a one-man idea factory who had wanted to be drafted for the top party post, would not give up his leadership of two other organizations he already heads, and that pretty much took him out of the running, interviews with Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, his fellow GOP governors and several influential state GOP chairmen indicated.
From the November 6, 2008, Washington Times article:
"We are looking for energy innovation and someone who can win the argument," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, widely regarded as the best combination of idea man and successful insurgency leader in modern Republican history.

As educators, we have witnessed for far too long the impact that the current immigration system has had on our students, their families, and our communities. We join the growing chorus of voices calling on lawmakers to create a common-sense immigration process for aspiring Americans, one that includes a roadmap for new Americans to become citizens. We are pleased that the vision that President Obama outlined reflects our values and our rich tradition of embracing people who move to make life better for themselves and their families. We see them every day in our classrooms, schools, and our communities. They are our students, friends, and our neighbors. They move to put food on the table, to provide for their families, or for the promise of freedom and opportunity in this country. And we are all better for having hardworking new immigrants as contributing members of our communities. The president's proposal builds on the extraordinary success of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and incorporates DREAMERS into the mainstream of life so that this country can continue to reap the benefits of their hard work, ingenuity, and achievements. And we welcome the administration's commitment to support the value of keeping families together. We agree that efficient, fair, and effective avenues for legal, family-based immigration are vital to keeping America strong. Reuniting families kept apart by current arcane and bureaucratic immigration laws will provide significant benefit to children, who will be able to receive the full support and care provided by unified families. For new American immigrants waiting in the shadows of society, there is no daylight without Congressional and White House action. As a nation of immigrants, how we treat new immigrants reflects our commitment to the values that define us. We urge Congress to move swiftly and on a bipartisan fashion on this important issue. We thank President Obama for his leadership on this important issue and we look forward to working with him and his administration on creating a common-sense immigration process for aspiring citizens.

Wouldn't Maren work in terms of honoring both Mary and Marie? That way you can use whatever first name you want and the middle name does double duty without using the EXACT name of your grandmother (which she hated anyway). If you want to use Alivia as a first name, keep it.
Or you could always go with Alicia, Alison, Ailish, or some variation thereof instead of Alice.
August 21st, 2013 09:21 PM #8
That was my thought process actually. Two birds with one stone. Maren stuck out to me one day, then I found out if was a variant of Mary. Marie is similar, so I liked it more for that fact.
Alivia isn't something we're set on, just one we both liked mutually.
The husband is a very hard man to please name wise. Lol.

I feel like I'm super picky, and I don't want to be. I just want to make everyone happy family wise, while we are happy too.
I really hope this baby is a boy lol.

The Custome Mandalorian I am working on, I was planning on using a black jumpsuit, with a black vest, and then do red armor with some blue trim.
The helmet is already painted, it's got a black over all color, red trim, and then two blue fang-spike things on the upper helmet spiking just above my eyes.
So, I'm having trouble finding something that will work for a flight suit and a vest. The flight suits that I find at Surplus stores are all army green, and the material they are made out of isn't the best material for dying.
So, I decided I'm going into Reno tomorrow to find a flight suit and a vest, but I have no idea where to go. Jaster over at Mandalorian Warrior suggests to try Sears or JC Penny's for jump suits.
Also, another question I had...I'm a hefty guy (Power to the fat people!) and that's the reason I decided against making Stormtrooper armor. Is there a way I can desguise the fat? I was thinking of adding a Flynn-like sash going over one shoulder and tucking under the belt and then flapping out over the cod piece, maybe that will distract from my stomach and add a more shoulder buffness to the costume.
What do you guys think? Any ideas? You're the experts here.

Download For more than two decades, organizations have struggled with the security challenges of the wireless workplace. Laptop computers first blurred the boundaries of traditional environments, and now smartphones and tablets are increasingly becoming the professional tools of choice. In 2011, smartphone sales exceeded PC sales for the first time?and analysts believe smartphone sales will exceed 1.5 billion units by 2016. That same year, more than 350 million people are expected to use their smartphones for work.

Is this normal?
I had a message to let me know that my box was almost full...I dispatched a PM to a fellow member, then thought to go into my PM boxes and erase the unnecessary - only to find, when my PM had been successfully posted, that both the in and outbox had automatically been emptied, and all Pms deleted.
There was something there I had wanted to keep. I suppose it's all too late now. Is this an inbuilt feature?
I had no idea it would activate, otherwise I would have 'tidied up' sooner.....

|The Knight's Dream - Antonio de Pereda
But I may be a rare bird. Do you like deadlines? Do you need deadlines? Do you work better when you have one?

|The Knight's Dream - Antonio de Pereda
I work really well with self-imposed deadlines--NaNo, or 'by ABNA, or 'finish this to participate in that' but I'm finding deadlines for a publisher stress my creativity a little.
Without a deadline, I get distracted by all sorts of---SQUIRREL!
I have a lot of interests, so prioritizing one over another gets complicated. Having a deadline imposed by someone else is a way to help me prioritize. Then again, I have very little will power, so that might be a factor. :D
I need accountability.
Accountability that I am balancing writing into my life, and that I keep moving forward.
Most of the time it is other writers (or the idea of other readers) and not a deadline that gives me this.
But I suppose a deadline could serve as well.
I like deadlines in my work life, but not in my writing life. It makes me dread writing to be honest, so I'm too the point where I think I am ready to embrace the fact that I should just write when I want to and not worry!
I ditto Caroline. Need them for work, definitely, otherwise my writing would get done first :o)
I need deadlines to get things accomplished in a timely manner, but they still stress me out. I guess it's a good stress, in a way.
I don't think I have ever worked without a deadline. Most of them have largely been created by myself... but as Noelle said, I have a lot of interests and am easily distracted.
I think the deadline makes me see the red blinking lights and hear alarm bells in my head where having an open and unrestricted timeframe would allow me to stall forever.
Procrastinators of the world, UNITE!
You know... next week. Or sometime around then. No rush.
I DON'T LIKE DEADLINES. but I think I work better with them. damnit.
I don't really like deadlines but since the thought of missing one makes me ill, they do make me productive! :)
Deadlines give me an additional goal to work toward, and help me spend my time writing or editing more wisely. Self imposed ones don't work quite as well...
I have no idea, never had one. But I think I can safely assume it will stress me out if I ever do.
I totally work better with a deadline. I function better with the stress brought on by procrastination. Or so I tell myself.
I need deadlines. Without a deadline, something isn't a priority. There's no date by which it must be done so all the things with due dates keep preempting it. I can set my own dates for when I want things done but otherwise, if there's no date set, it's probably not getting done for a while.
Deadlines are good. Love it when I have them. But if it's something I want to write, it's going to get written no matter what.
I'm like you, Nathan, I don't like writing creatively to a hard and fast deadline. I can freeze up, or get anxious or blocked. My muse works best when it can stretch out and relax and there are no demands.
I also have a difficult time judging the quality of my work quickly. I need time and space to get perspective.
However, as an exception, I will say that I can write non-fiction to a deadline, although I still need time to judge the quality of my work. But I think non-fiction uses a different part of the brain, and that part of my brain functions under pressure. But my creative mind does function at it's best under time line pressure.
But my creative mind does NOT function at its best under time pressure.
Deadlines are one of the many reasons that I'm in a critique group--knowing that it's my turn to submit helps me keep plugging away at my manuscript.
I need accountability, and it needs to be soon (like yesterday) because otherwise I get...oh, bunny pictures!
Deadline schmedline. Write the darn book!
Deadlines help me set priorities, but they don't enhance my work.
I prefer self-imposed "soft" deadlines. Those deadlines keep me moving and I usually come fairly close to meeting them, with minimal stress.
But a publisher-imposed "hard" deadline, though it makes me tense, definitely makes me work harder and more consistently.
I don't think I've ever worked on a book without at least a soft deadline in mind -- at least not after selling my first book. It takes some kind of deadline to make me take writing seriously.
Unfortunately, I do not like deadlines because I think they cause undue stress. But, I work better knowing that I have a deadline to meet. I usually just create a self imposed deadline, meet it, and move on. Thanks for sharing.
I'm split. I can work under pressure, and deadlines are sometimes necessary given my awesome powers of procrastination, but I think my best writing to date was composed when I was totally unrestricted.
WORD VERIFICATION: rodedobi. A western bonanza with horses, cowboys, and Malfoy's house-Elf.
Yes, actually. I write well under deadlines. Art/illustrating is a different story; for that I prefer all the time I can get.
I don't like deadlines unless they're my personal deadlines. This is because I consider myself a self-starter and therefore have no need for someone else to tell me/push me to get work done. I know how I operate, plus, I like to leave some leeway time in case something happens that slows productivity. Though deadlines are good for getting people motivated it can stress others out, especially if productivity is being slow for lack of inspiration. So, if I'm going to be under a deadline, I much rather it be a deadline set by me than that set by someone else.
I've never had a real deadline, unless you count nano, so I really wouldnt know. However, I do tend to produce a lot more work when I have self-imposed deadlines, or at least a minimum daily word count. The only problem with just worrying about the words, though, is that you can tend to forget about the story. I was doing my own version of nano this past may, and I ended up writing 20k then cutting the last 10k bc they were useless. So, foccusing just on word count can be a really bad thing.
But... I'm not exactly talking about deadlines anymore. And basically, my answer to your question is that I really don't know yet.
Deadlines are a bit of a love-hate relationship with me. They stress me out, but I'm a tinkerer by heart, and I need something to make me stop and finish the piece.
Self-made deadlines only work for me if I've got someone else keeping me to it.
Sort of but I would prefer not to have one. I guess if I was to be published I would be introduced to Mr. Deadline.
I loathe deadlines. Absolutely loathe them. Detest them. Dislike them. I suppose it can't get any clearer than that:) When I'm faced with one, I invariably procrastinate until the last possible minute to get down to business... which didn't help me at all this week when the space bar on my keyboard gave out, followed by my printer (literally, with a bang)... that too, a mere hour before the deadline for submission of an essay! Ah, if only I'd paid more mind to that darn deadline...:)
Without a deadline I tell myself that my brain goes away by 10.30 in the morning (which may explain why it took me eight years to crank out my first book). With an editor-imposed deadline for revisions, the brain seems to function all day, and much of the night.
I work better under pressure, otherwise my head is in the clouds, or I play too much. So self-imposed deadlines and goals work.
In my day job, I like to have deadlines so I know how to prioritize my tasks. In writing, I've only had self-imposed deadlines. I do this only when I'm feeling stuck and need to motivate myself to get going. In general, I prefer to let things flow at a natural pace. I expect when I do have publisher deadlines I will hate them passionately. Stress and creativity, in my experience, are antithetical.
Never had one so I don't know for sure. I think it would be really hard though. Yes, I can write a bunch of drivel but for true inspiration and creativity, I need time.
I think I work a lot better with a deadline. I've learned from doing Nano this year that tons of pressure is my best motivator!
Maybe I thrive on stress. :D
Deadlines are a motivator. It's easy to become distracted and skip a day or five on your work in progress. But I find that it gets done a lot easier and quicker knowing I have a deadline to meet.
Yes, I work better with a deadline. Perhaps, those of us writers who work better with deadlines could be called Clutch Writers. You know, those writers, who like Kobe Bryant can pull up to hit a three pointer over the triple team in the last five seconds of the game.
It is not that we are procrastinators; it is that we sometimes work better when we work against the clock. It makes our work and the down time between projects seem more valuable.
Of course, there is something to be said for pacing one's self.
Hate deadlines. I want all the time I can get to tinker, refine, procrastinate, daydream, etc., until someone or something says, "Times up." But we were talking about what works better, umm, deadline.
I completely collapse creatively under a deadline. I tend to keep myself going at a steady pace without the pressure.
I prefer a deadline or a target date to aim for. Meeting deadlines, and being able to deliver your product are important abilities to have in today's world.
Stressful or motivating? It depends on the request and the time limit.
No, I don't work with deadlines. Deadlines suck. But with a set word count every day like in NaNo, it really forces me to put more UMPH! in my writing for whatever reason.
No, I don't work better, but I WORK. That's the big difference! ;-) My deadlines are mostly self-imposed, but as I gear up to write as a blogger for a new tourism website, Baja.com, I am beginning to see how the stress of deadlines can actually stymie creativity.
So you're working on Jacob W number 3? Omg, I'm way behind obtaining the previous 2. I must pester the local librarian to pick up some copies. The local kids would love to read these stories, I'm sure.
I think I'd work better with a deadline. It would inspire and rev up the creative engine. I tend to aimlessly rewrite for years - even decades - if left to my own volition. A fantasy novel I started 30 years ago still lies incomplete on ancient floppy drives, although the time I spent on it was epic. Another novel started about 11-12 years ago is finished, story-wise, but I'm still
re-inventing and struggling with syntax. Must take myself in hand and build up some self-belief. I think these are the reasons I've floundered. If I could envision the end of the road even without a deadline perhaps the journey will finally be over.
I need deadlines. They take the stress off for me. If I don't have them, I skip around the maypole as if I have all the time in the world, and I accomplish nothing. For me, a deadline is that light at the end of the tunnel.
I need them or I don't work. But I often put off stuff until two minutes before deadline and then have to run through it screaming like my hair's on fire.
very worried about the day I have real hard and fast publishing deadlines.
It's the one thing that terrifies me about possibly getting published someday, being under a deadline. In my regular profession, interior design, deadlines are fine, but with writing, well, that scares the heck out of me.
I'm pathetic, so yes, I need a deadline (and one set by an external presence) to get anything done.
Reminds me of the Douglas Adams quote: I love deadlines; I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
I've never actually had to write on a deadline... yet. I can imagine that changing in the near future though.
Truthfully, though, I think that a deadline would slow me down. The preasure increases my anxiety level, which, in turn clouds my thinking. I think a dealine would hender me greatly...
I'm totally a procrastinator, which is why I read Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner in one day back when I was in graduate school. (And at the end of that day, I was ready to throw the book across the room, even though it was a good story.) I need deadlines, because I work better under pressure. Otherwise I'll just keep putting off the work.
Oh, oh, Noelle! I see the squirrel!
*runs across yard giggling and chasing small fuzzy critter*
I seriously need a deadline. I can't even work with a self-imposed one, because however much I try to sound stern, I know it's self-imposed and I can break it and there will be no consequences. But if someone else gives me a deadline - a crit partner or editor, then it's nose to the grindstone until I'm done.
Without a deadline I'll chase squirrels forever.
You know what Douglas said about deadlines...
I usually don't need them- I've been the kid who got their homework done ahead of time all my life. But lately it doesn't matter who sets the deadline, my brain seems to have other plans. Am working through it.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the 'whooshing' noise, and smirking, thinking of Douglas.
Rock on, Jedi Master, I hope your holiday season is shaping up to be bright.
After 15 years in print journalism, I find I have difficulty working without a deadline. Otherwise I fall prey to too many BSOs (Big, shiny...ooooh!) instead of actually working. I do, however, adjust my self-imposed ones as needed when work or something else blows up and makes keeping the original ones I set impossible.
Absolutely. Deadlines are my friends.
I have a lazy muse, so deadlines give her the kick in the butt she needs to keep me going.
I'm enough of a self-starter that I don't really need deadlines to motivate me. So I imagine that, if I ever have them someday, they'll only serve to make me nervous.
"The ultimate inspiration is the deadline" is inscribed on a paperweight that sits next to my keyboard. While I don't wait until absolute deadline to get started on a project, having one does help me focus better on the piece.
Stress will kill you and deadlines are stressful, particularly if your cup is empty or filling slowly. I am fortunate. I have deadlines which are easy to meet which makes my publisher and me happy and responsible.
I do like having deadlines, as long as they are reasonable. Without them, it can be a bit hard for me to get started on big writing projects and similar things. Of course, so far all of my writing deadlines have been self-imposed. But even with school or work, I've thrived with deadlines, so I'm hoping that will transfer over to publisher deadlines someday, too,
Deadlines are helpful in all stages of a book's production. Most people will put things off, even those who aren't hardcore procrastinators, so tight deadlines are needed. I know I do better with tight deadlines.
If I'm under a lot of stress, then I can't write - like, at all.
To get into a good rhythm, I need boredom almost. The less I have going on, the easier it is for me to write.
I said to another writer guy one time: in order to speed up, one needs to slow down.
He had no idea what I was talking about. Par for the course, really.
How's the Wonderbar series going, Nate? Are you a billionaire yet? Me, I'm about to finish my fifth novel, so I might be a millionaire soon. Do ever get called that - Nate? You don't mind if I call you Nate, do you?
I prefer not to have deadlines as they stress me out. If I do have a deadline, I'll drop everything else and work on the piece with a deadline exclusively, aiming to get it finished months in advance so that I can relax again. So having a deadline throws everything else in my life out of whack.
I absolutely hate deadlines, but they do work quite well for me. I don't "need" them, exactly, but because I'm insistent on not needing extensions, I do well to stick to them.
I'm procrastinating right now, even with a deadline. Unless i'm right up against it i get distracted by the simplest of things. I tried to set self imposed deadlines but they never seem to work. :( idk what it is about me but i like the pressure of being right against the wall.

The America East Conference is committed to maintaining proper sportsmanship and to providing a healthy environment for competition between all of its over 3,400 student-athletes. Through a Sportsmanship Committee, sportsmanship initiatives and an awards program, America East promotes good sportsmanship throughout the year.
Before every America East sporting event, the following public address announcement is read:
"America East and the host institution encourage and promote good sporting conduct by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and the officials in a positive manner. America East asks that you refrain froM foul language and other derogatory behavior.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
By the way guys thanks a lot for all the great input!
I have D another question. Is there a specific reason I should choose the Heritage over the Billy Goat?

In addition, I've had trouble finding never summer boards in any of the local board shops I know in Edmonton. But if you can shed some light on it and disprove some of my preconceptions that'd be great.
I personally think the "advanced/expert" rating stuff is just marketing. As an intermediate rider will you be able to do reliably go down the hill? Yes. Will you fully appreciate some of the tech in an "advanced/expert" board? Probably not till you get more experience on it and ride other boards to compare.
|I actually have considered it; however, I was put off a little bit by its rating for advanced to expert riders and mixed reviews about its turn initiation.

|Then have a look at the Ride Berserker or Machete GT. Similar camber profile to the Slayblade and just overall just great boards. They should fit your needs perfectly.
billygoat is a great board, fast, stable, confident and lively.... yes it likes to turn and turn do you must. Intermediate board...NOOOO. Beast loves to go. At an intermediate you will really have to up your game and riding anything less than something like baker terrain would be wasted on this board's talents. Certainly wasted on my talents; yesterday, 5th day riding 159 splitty inbounds at baker hitting stuff I never thought I'd be doing at 54 yrs old....its scary how much confidence this board seduces/deludes me in to doing. Really need to ask your self if you are an aggressive enough rider to take on this board.
DRIZZLE on Vimeo
|I'd love to ride this board as rental but maybe not as my own board. Also it's not so much that there are durability issues, more like it dings easier than many other boards. And it makes sense too because of its thin profile and side walls. I've read that in countless reviews on several different websites. I would totally get it, my only fear is that I'd damage it too easily. I feel like buying the Slayblade would be like buying a ferrari, amazing car to drive, fast and good with corners, but if I bring it to town I won't be driving faster than 3km/h because I'd be too scared scratch it or drive over a pot hole. Ok maybe bad car example.
I agree, if you've ridden and loved the Slayblade I'd say go with it. You won't regret it, it's a solid board. Any durability issues you might've read about are probly things you'd run into with any other board ridden aggressively.
I encourage you go try and demo one of the Lib/Gnu boards before going in for the purchase. If you've never ridden a rocker/camber board with a form of MTX before, you might love it, but you also might hate it.
Where have you heard the Slayblade gets damaged easily? K2 isn't really known for durability issues and in my experience they're just as durable as every other board.
All your other boards are valid options as well but you have the disadvantage that you've never ridden them. Also, their camber profiles are very different from the K2's and you might just end up not liking those. I say go with what you know and loved.
Indecisve guy needs your help :D
Hey guys,
As you can infer from the title I'm have some issues on deciding on a board.
So I would say that I'm an intermediate rider, maybe intermediate/advanced but that might be my ego XD. I'm 5'6'', weigh about 140lb and have a goofy stance. I ride groomers ~60% of the time, powder and trees the other 40%. And now I'm looking forward to learn jumps (not jibbing or park or anything, mainly natural features or some manmade's). So here's my dilemma, I've been looking at a few boards but I'm having a crappy time trying to choose one. I have 2013 medium burton cartel bindings and 8.5 DC Status boots (last years model).
The Boards I have been researching are as follows:
1) K2 Slayblade
2) Capita Black Snowboard of Death
3) Lib Tech Lando Pheonix
4) GNU Billy Goat
5) Lib Tech 2012/2013 Emma P.
Now I've ridden the Slayblade and LOVED it! Great stability, amazing speed, alright edge hold and pretty good in pow. That thing rode through crap like nothing, once I was going pretty fast and hit a small bump that I didn't see. Midair I thought I was going to eat it hard, but the board held strong and I never lost too much control. However, from what I've read, the board gets damaged too easily. And since I still have a lot to learn (and fall while doing so), I feel like I'm going to bruise it too often. But I'm looking for a board that rides like the slayblade, just not the slayblade.
Now I've heard good things about the Capita BSOD, i.e. that it's super light, aggressive flex, super fast, great in pow or groom and death grip for ice. Now the bad things I've heard is that you get loads of chatter and you feel everything while riding through crud, so barely any dampening. And turn initiation isn't supposed to be easy, which won't be great for me riding through the trees.
I was seriously considering the 154 Lando pheonix because it seemed to be pretty fast, stiff flex, great turn initiation, melow mangne so it doesn't catch, good durability and dampening. The only difference I see between this and the K2 is that this isn't very light (Does it matter?). Also I was recently informed that the non-wide version of the board was designed for big footed people, i.e. size 10.5 +, I'm only 8.5, am I going to loose responsiveness due to the extra weight and width.
The Billy Goat is one I'm seriously considering right now. It's apparently great at turning, it's very fast, very stiff, damp, great handling. The only downside I've heard from snow wolf is that at speed it can get spooky because it can turn too easily? is this true?
and finally the Emma P. This board is brand new not available online and from what I hear kind of rare, so no reviews . What do you guys make of this? Here's the description lib tech put out.
So people, please if you wouldn't mind, could you help me find/pick a board? Or if you want to suggest another board that you think would be good, please do mention it! Your input is greatly is appreciated, and if you could compare the boards that be even better!

Range Map
Orangutans (oh-RANG-uh-tans) belong to the family Hominidae, which includes all four great apes: gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. Distinct species of orangutans live on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in Southeast Asia.
Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests. Lower densities in mountainous areas.
Males up to 5 feet (1.6 m)
Females up to 3.5 feet (1 m)
Males 155-200 pounds (70-90 kg)
Females 65-110 pounds (30-50 kg)
The median life expectancy for orangutans is 28 years.
In the wild: predominantly fruit (figs, durian, mangoes, etc.), leaves, flowers, bark, occasional bird eggs, insects and mineral-rich soil.
At the zoo: Lettuce, celery, broccoli, spinach, kale, high-fiber biscuits, apples, oranges, bananas and other tropical fruits, and fresh browse when available.
Females become sexually mature at around ages 7 or 8 and typically will only reproduce about 2 to 3 offspring in their lifetime. Males become sexually mature around the age of 13 to 15 years. Recently it has been discovered that sub-adult males, as well as adult male orangutans, have also successful been able to sire young.
Gestation period is about eight to nine months. Females usually bear single young; twins are rare. Average birth weight is 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg). In the wild, sexually mature females only give birth every 5 to 9 years, depending on the environmental conditions and food availability.
Young orangutans are dependent on their mothers for survival during the first five years of their lives. Since young orangutans have few instinctive behaviors, they must learn from watching their mothers. Between 3 and 7 years, orangutans become increasingly independent, and leave their mothers by ages 5 to 8.
In the Malay and Indonesian language, orang means "people" and hutan "forest," thus orangutan literally means "people of the forest." Highly intelligent, orangutans have long, coarse hair ranging in color from bright orange to maroon or dark chocolate. Mature male orangutans develop massive cheek pads and large throat pouches. Males inflate their pouches to make loud vocalizations referred to as "long calls."
Rarely descending from trees, orangutans have nearly identical hook-shaped hands and feet that are well adapted for grasping and hanging from tree limbs. Young orangutans easily swing from limb to limb. Older, heavier adults must move through the forest slowly, using their hands and feet to test each branch to see if it will hold their weight. When required, however, an adult orangutan can move very fast. Orangutans have long, strong arms and relatively short legs, which is an excellent adaptation for locomoting from tree to tree.
Unlike gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos who live in large male/female social groups, male orangutans are mostly solitary animals. Females may live in small groups composed of dependent young, other adult females and adolescents. The load-bearing limits of rain forest tree tops, combined with the scarcity of fruit, keep orangutans from living in large social groups.
During courtship and mating, however, adult male and female orangutans travel and forage together. The long call of a dominant male, audible for up to a mile (1.6 km), announces his presence to females who are ready to mate. The call also scares away other, less dominant males. Females seek out the male to breed, but after a few days they separate and return to their solitary life.
Woodland Park Zoo's orangutan forest, located at the Trail of Vines exhibit in Tropical Asia, brings visitors eye-to-eye with orangutans in their treetop habitat. Visitors have an unobstructed view to observe orangutans as they may behave in the wild. The exhibit also has an indoor area for up-close viewing of the orangutans.
Orangutans are an endangered species. Overpopulation, logging, agriculture, conversion of forests to oil palm plantations, and other human activities are rapidly destroying forest environments required by orangutans for survival. While population densities are difficult to determine, estimates for the Bornean species are 54,000 while the critically endangered Sumatran species has dwindled to a mere 6,600 animals.
Woodland Park Zoo is involved in orangutan research and conservation in the wild. Zoo staff traveled throughout Indonesia doing tissue sampling of wild and captive orangutans. This study confirmed that the two orangutan subspecies are very different genetically, and should be managed separately and not allowed to interbreed. While the zoo's resident orangutans are hybrids (crossbred between Bornean and Sumatran species), and therefore are not allowed to reproduce, these animals play a critical role in educating zoo professionals and the public about the amazing orangutan. As an example, the first orangutan in vitro fertilization was accomplished at Woodland Park Zoo. Although no offspring resulted, it was an important step in the continuing development of embryo transfer techniques.
You can help preserve and protect wildlife and their habitat. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts.

LEHIGH VALLEY, PA (June 25, 2008) - The Bulldog is back on the road again with the 2008 Mack Performance Tour, featuring the biggest and boldest trucks ever from Mack Trucks, Inc. The new Mack models also feature the very fuel efficient, yet extremely powerful Mack MP family of engines.
The Mack Performance Tour comes at an opportune time for truck operators considering which engine can take them into 2010 and beyond.
"As the number of North American engine choices narrows, we think customers need to take a long, close look at what Mack can do for them," said Tom Kelly, Mack vice president, marketing. "The Tour is an outstanding way for them to experience the quality, power, performance and fuel economy of the Mack MP engine family, so they can see what they've been missing. We are making a special effort to reach out to these customers."
"We want them to know Mack has the products, customer support and dealer network they need and expect from us," Kelly continued. "Most importantly, Mack has a proven and very fuel efficient engine technology that works now and for the future. We have a great engine platform and we know our plan to meet the 2010 emissions standards works."
Of course, every Mack engine comes wrapped in a Mack truck. The new, top-of-the-line Rawhide Editions of both the Pinnacle highway and Granite® vocational models clearly demonstrate why customers continue to turn to Mack. The Rawhide Edition brings a distinctive look and feel to the driver environment and sleeper, with a full array of gauges, extra soundproofing, brushed nickel dash, wood-grain and chrome steering wheel and classic button-tuck interior. The Pinnacle Rawhide Edition combines classic styling with all the technology benefits of the Pinnacle and Granite models, and adds the next generation of luxury and comfort.
All trucks feature the Mack MP7 and MP8 engines, which deliver higher power density with a smaller displacement for greater efficiency - a critical feature at a time when diesel is near or at $5 a gallon.
For long-haul highway customers looking to save even more on fuel, Mack offers Pinnacle tractors certified by the U.S. EPA SmartWay program. The Certified SmartWay® designation means these tractors meet EPA's environmental and fuel efficiency standards for excellence. The SmartWay program requires trucks to have a detailed set of components shown to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Since the Tour kicked off in Texas in April, Mack has sent its trucks fanning out across North America. Each Mack is loaded to legal capacity to give customers a real feel for the power of the MP engines. Customers can track the tour with a full schedule and video highlights from other drivers at www.mackperformancetour.com . In 2007, the tour covered more than 200 cities in the United States and Canada.
Dedicated to quality, reliability, and total customer satisfaction, Mack Trucks, Inc. has provided its customers with innovative transportation solutions for more than a century. Today, Mack is one of North America's largest producers of heavy-duty trucks, and MACK® vehicles are sold and serviced in more than 45 countries worldwide. All Mack manufacturing locations are certified to the internationally recognized ISO 9001 standard for quality and ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems. Mack is also a proud sponsor of Share the Road, an American Trucking Associations' public information campaign aimed at enhancing the safety of our nation's roadways.
Mack is a member of the Volvo Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and services, and is the world's leading producer of heavy-diesel engines (9-16 liter). The Group also provides complete solutions for financing and service. The Volvo Group, which employs about 100,000 people, has production facilities in 19 countries and sells its products in more than 180 markets. Annual sales of the Volvo Group amount to over $42 billion. The Volvo Group is a publicly-held company headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. Volvo Shares are listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm and are traded OTC in the US.

Hi everyone! You came here to find out about Dana McDonald, so here we go! First let
me say that I LOVE what I do! I've been lucky enough to be able to do what I love for
over 30 years, the last 22 at Delmarva Broadcasting! I started my radio "career" at
WQHQ (Q-105) in Salisbury, from there I went to Fredericksburg, VA. (B-101.5), then
to WSTW (93-7) and Swing/Weekends at WWMX (Mix 106.5) and WLIF (Today's 101.9) in
Baltimore, and finally made the move to Cool 101.3 in late 2010. When I'm not
on Cool 101.3, I'm working a wedding or party with my mobile DJ company (
danamcdonalddj.com), having
fun with my 3 boys (all 12 years old or younger), or driving my wife crazy with my
"amazing" drumming skills! I look forward to meeting all of you, and I hope you'll
join me every weekday morning between 5:30 and 10!
The "Tan Mom" sings......The WORST Music video EVER.......PERIOD!! (Content warning...it's a bit raunchy....just sayin')

stats after 1000 rounds of mixed WW white box, reloads, wolf and god knows what ever else i could find in 9mm.
malfunctions 4-- two jams and two case ruptures the cases were winchester white box loads from wally-world.
these blow back things seem sensitive to buffers, recoil springs and ammo.
a hot load, experimental solid buffer and weak recoil spring are a BIG no-no!
two of the malfunctions were due to the mag not being fully seated, the other two were ammo and my experimental buffer problems --which i had to go back the the drawing board with.
accuracy is very good, reasonable power for a 9mm from that 16" stainless barrel. very quiet. recoil is there and not as light as you would think for 9mm. probably enough for a bump-fire set up. when TA drops by we'll see if the 9er will do for that.
it is an impressive little shooter. but it is another learning curve compared to gas operates irons.
everybody else gripes about the c-products 9mm mags , i can't say i am having any problems with them provided their fully seated before you start firing.
insert the mag from an open bolt and i"m having no mag related problems to speak of so far.
with so called "assault rifle" ammo getting expensive i'll be shooting the 9 mikey-mike a bit more.
only thing is it can't reach way out there, it ain't like i got nothing that will reach out there on the rack though.
now i got to pick up a case of the cheap-shit 9mm from somewhere--

I am about to implement an auction plugin on EW that will allow registered Vendors to auction their products on EW to a new class of auction participant members. These members would be allowed to self register in order to participate in auction bidding only.
I intend to offer these services for a modest, and fair, transaction fee. I believe this will be a service of great benefit to the EW Vendor community, the public at large, and will help support my efforts in the maintenance and hosting of EW.
I expect to be able to get this up in the next week or so

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Ever wondered what animal made that peep in your backyard or that bellow in the bushes near your pond? Learn more about some of these sounds with the updated "Calls of the Wild - Vocalizations of Georgia's Frogs" CD!
Produced by the Wildlife Resources Division's Nongame Conservation Section, this CD and accompanying 24-page booklet present the unique calls and life histories of 32 frog and toad species found in Georgia. The CD has separate recordings of each native species, as well as two non-native species in the state, the greenhouse frog and the Cuban treefrog.
There's also more than 20 minutes of mixed-species choruses that can be listened to as natural background music or used to test your frog-identification abilities. Informative narration is provided for individual species. As part of the revised CD, an expanded booklet is packed with detail, including color photographs, natural histories, range maps and physical characteristics for each species.
Single copies by mail cost $14.84, which includes taxes, shipping and handling.
You can also buy the CD in the gift shop at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center [2] in Mansfield.
Released in 2003, "Calls of the Wild" was updated and the booklet expanded in 2013. That project was funded by a grant from TERN, friends group of the Nongame Conservation Section.
Nearly all of the frog recordings on "Calls of the Wild" were made by frog expert Walter Knapp. Terry W. Johnson, former Nongame program manager and TERN executive director, narrated the CD.

NARS Fall 2008 : My SwatchesThursday, July 17, 2008
This swatch is just because I know that someone will ask me to compare the bronze-gold shade in Cordura with Fez. They are similar, but definitely not the same!
All of the eye shadows are extremely pigmented, so a light hand is all that you need. As with all NARS shadows mine were very easy to apply and blend in to the eye.
This lipstick might be one of my new favorites! It has a very faint shimmer, but it is the perfect shade for my lips. Have you ever heard that old saying that the way to pick out the perfect lipstick is to look at the inside of your mouth? Well, this is that color for me, but about 1/2 shade darker. I wore it to the mall last night to pick up a few items at MAC and the SA was staring at it and finally had to compliment me on the color!
There is a lot of buzz surrounding this blush. Dolce Vita is well on it's way to becoming the new Orgasm, and branching out into blush is just one way to do that.
This blush is much more pigmented than Orgasm, so pale girls like me will want to use a bigger brush than normal to prevent looking a bit clownish. But, it is a very pretty pink flushed color. Those with slightly darker complexions than me will love this one!
NARS Fall 2008 is now available at NARS Cosmetics

The Cordura duo is really awesome. I have been waiting for this collection to make its way to my local Nordies. I'm hoping they have it up this weekend for the Anniversary Sale. That duo, the blush and the lip gloss are on my list.ReplyDelete
- Mandy in COJuly 17, 2008 at 5:40 PM
thanks for the swatches, these are great! I think I must have dolce vita blush (even though I am pale too). I'll try senorita on first before deciding but it looks pretty in the tube.ReplyDelete
Liking the Dolce Vita already! Must try...ReplyDelete
Fez must look real good on blondes.Definitely i must try it for an evening make-up.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous swatches-I'm keen to delve back into Nars eyeshadows after intially being scared off by the crappy formula of 'Fathom'. Dolce Vita looks beautiful too, I can't wait to try that one out!ReplyDelete
Stefanie :)
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.
