Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
Heard on Sirius NFL network this morning that the Bronco's odds of winning a SB this season improved from 75:1 to 8:1 with the announcement of Peyton's contract with Denver.
I'm sure much of this is to balance the books with the amount of money coming in on Denver now, (god forbid they would have to pay out!)
But in reality, can Peyton really have THAT big of an effect on the Broncos?
Apparently he worked out for a couple teams and a video of him throwing was circulating among interested parties. I just find it hard to believe that he's fully healed or won't be awfully fragile out there.
4 "proceedures" on the neck. I'm awfully skeptical.
What say you?
Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
Manning was going to be a gamble for any team that signed him because of the neck surgeries. But a number of teams leapt at the chance, because the other side of the coin is that no one is able to state that he positively can't return to something approaching his old form. Age and statistics are against him in that regard, and I'm still doubtful we'll see the Manning of old. But it's not impossible, and if there's one player in the NFL who will work his butt off to pull it off, Manning would be the guy. And if he can, plus somehow get Denver to a Super Bowl, won't John Elway & co. look like the geniuses of the century?
As to the fortunes of the Broncos in 2012, a lot is going to depend on the non-Manning pieces. Will their defense be as good this year as last? Could it be better? And what other free agent help might they sign, particularly on offense to help Manning? By all accounts Denver has a lot of cap space. How would you feel, for example, if they enticed Mike Wallace away from Pittsburgh?
I agree that 8:1 seems a bit out of whack, but that'll probably back off once some of the initial euphoria dies down.

Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
With the team that Denver assembled last year, they won the AFC West and advanced to the Divisional Round of the Playoffs. For Peyton to make a significant difference, they would have to win the Super Bowl. I don't think that he is going to make that much of a difference."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
Peyton will now get to experience football in cold weather and no dome. If he is that great, yea, he'll make a difference. Will defenses treat him differently because of his neck problems? Will the refs now show special interest to protect him? Personally. the broncos will not get to the SB this year.
Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
8:1? I wonder what the odds are that Manning plays more than 8 games?
I would be surprised to see Manning make a difference.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
He's certainly going to be better than Teblow, but I agree with Mr T, will Manning play more or less than 8 games?
Also, unless Denver makes a lot of other moves on the offensive side of the ball, Peyton will not have a strong supporting cast, and will be playing outdoors, etc.
They should be favored to win the AFCW, but I don't see them going very far in the playoffs.

Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
Manning's neck isn't any more fragile than the neck of a QB who has never had any neck problems. In fact it is likely stronger. The odds of injury are not any higher than any other 36-yr-old QB. The issue is whether the nerve has regenerated (or will regenerate) back to 100% so that his arm strength and grip and feel is the way it used to be.
Manning absolutely makes a huge difference assuming he and his receivers put in some extra work to get the timing down and he grasps the offense (which is a safe assumption).
The Vegas odds adjustment is very sensible. The Broncos' passing offense just upgraded massively (from terrible to good). The running offense was great (with Tebow's totals) and will still be good (without them). The Broncos' defense should be strong, especially because they have decent pass rushers who will be playing with a lead more than they have in the past.

Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
I think the Super Bowl expectations might be a little over blown. They were doing a poll on ESPN/NFL Network (forget which one) asking if they thought the Broncos would win a play off game, win the afc champ, or win a super bowl. Something like 75-85% said win a super bowl...
History seems to show that Great QBs who stick with one team in one system for their entire careers tend not to be as explosive on a new team for the last few years of their career. Think Joe Montana, Brett Farve, etc.
I think Peyton could be different, and more importantly they have the cap space to actually build a team around him. Add in the AFC West is by far the worst division (yes the NFC West is not the worst) and you have an easy road to the playoffs... maybe even a bye.

If healthy, big difference. If he collects a paycheck and sits out half the year? They will miss Tim Tebow.

Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
I agree with lovefootball above. I think that Manning will have to vastly readjust his game without dome cover for his home contests.
Re: Peyton - can he REALLY make a difference?
His first pass will be a 97 yarder, the world will rejoice and proclaim the exhalted one is back. Then he will get sacked on the next series and go on IR for the season, and there will be a big tebow revolt, Elways will be lambasted and Brady Quinn will be LOL'ing for a while...... I don't see them being much better though.....

Gov. Bobby Jindal's recent blaze of interviews with national media sparked the launch of a Baton Rouge-based organization to check his facts.
Louisiana Truth contacted Politico after Jindal told the national news organization that the Republican Party needs to court every voter.
Baton Rouge businessman Joe Traigle, one of Louisiana Truth's organizers, said Friday that the group pointed out that Jindal refused to continue a state government ban on discriminating against gays and lesbians in the workplace.
A former state Revenue Department secretary, Traigle is a longtime activist for gay causes.
"We'd like to be a factor in fact-checking what he says on the national stage versus what he did in Louisiana," Traigle said.
Through a spokeswoman, the governor refused to comment on the organization.
In the days ahead of being named chairman of the Republican Governors Association, Jindal went on a national media blitz after the Nov. 6 election.
He told Politico that the Republican Party is going to fight for every vote. He criticized Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on CNN. He talked about the federal health care law with The Huffington Post.
At the same time, the governor ignored requests from reporters in his home state for interviews, igniting speculation that he already is looking to the 2016 race for the White House.
Romney was caught on camera attributing President Barack Obama's ability to attract minority and young voters on the president promising gifts to them.
The governor blasted the remarks to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, saying Republicans need to like voters if they have any hope of capturing their support.
Traigle said Louisiana Truth consists of 31 volunteers statewide, including some with media experience. He said the organization has no website or fund-raising plans.
"Volunteers are contributing their time and talent," he said.
In 2008, Traigle clashed with Jindal over an executive order the governor refused to renew.
The order, signed by former Gov. Kathleen Blanco, prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, national origin, political affiliation or disabilities — all areas covered by anti-discrimination laws. The order added "sexual orientation" to the list.
Jindal said at the time that it was unnecessary to create additional special categories or special rights. State and federal laws already prohibit discrimination, he said.
Traigle said Friday that Jindal cannot push for Republicans to go after 100 percent of the nation's vote when he refused to support Louisiana taxpayers because of their sexual orientations.
He said Jindal has the talent to resolve the state's problems, but pursued his ambitions instead.
"Those of us in Louisiana, we bought a Trojan horse. We thought it was one thing, but it turned out to be something entirely different. That's life and that's politics," Traigle said.

As daylight savings time approaches this Sunday March 11th, the Roseville Fire Department would like to remind you to take care of a very important task besides changing your clock. Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
One of the most important fire safety devices for the home is the smoke detector. Most fatal fires occur at night. The job of your smoke detector is to protect you and your family from fires while you are asleep. A working smoke detector will provide the early warning that can increase your chances of surviving a fire by 50 percent.
The Roseville Fire Department offers the following information for installing and maintaining smoke detectors:
Install smoke detectors in hallways that lead to sleeping areas, basements and each additional level of your home. Call the fire department if you are unsure about placement.
Smoke detectors should be mounted on the ceiling four (4) inches from the walls. Do not install near draft areas (windows, vents).
Keep your smoke detector working. Change the batteries and vacuum at least once a year. Dust and cobwebs can impair sensitivity.
Test your smoke detector monthly. To do this, press the battery test button on the front of the smoke detector. If a high pitch sound is heard, the battery is working properly.
Fire won't wait – Plan your escape! Crawl low in smoke. You've got to have a plan. Prepare and practice an escape plan including a meeting place outside. The meeting place should be far enough from the house to ensure safety from the fire.
Protect yourself and your family from fire. Install and maintain smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. For further information on smoke detectors or other fire safety needs contact the Roseville Fire Department at 774-5800.

Home-decorating television shows and magazines have many Americans dreaming about inviting an expert interior designer into their homes.
But what's it really like to hire a designer? How can you make sure it's a successful — and not too expensive — collaboration?
As with a good marriage, interior designer Phoebe Howard says, the relationship between designer and homeowner is about communication, trust and respect.
Find candidates
Many homeowners find a designer by asking friends whether they've used one. Designer Cathy Davin, founder and president of Davin Interiors in Pittsburgh, says new clients are often referred to her by previous clients.
Others discover her online, she says. Interior designers generally keep a portfolio of photos of rooms they've designed on their websites. Browse through as many as you can in your area, noting photos that fit with your vision for your home.
Training varies: An interior designer "typically has a bachelor's degree in interior design, and in several states must be certified," Davin says. They can collaborate easily with engineers, contractors and architects, and should have a full understanding of color, proportion and other elements of design.
The American Society of Interior Designers offers a database of certified members that is searchable by location (asidwa.org/find-a-designer).
Discuss money
Howard, who is based in Florida, says a good designer should be able to tell you whether you can have what you're envisioning for the money you're able to spend.
Be realistic and clear when discussing your budget.
Design fees vary, but Davin says they tend to range between about $4 per square foot (for limited services like choosing a room's color palette and furniture layout) to $10 or more per square foot for full project management.
Get cost estimates in writing and be sure you know exactly what is included. If you make any changes to a project after hiring a designer, get those adjustments in writing, as well.
Agree on style
Davin suggests starting with a meeting at your home with all decision-makers present. As you make choices, Howard says, do your homework: Touch the fabrics and study the colors to be sure you like them. Comb through websites and magazines, showing your designer what you have in mind.
And trust your instincts: If a particular decision feels wrong, don't go with it. But also remember that you've brought in a professional for their creative input.
Stay flexible
When choosing a designer, be sure to ask previous clients how the person handled changes or challenges.
"It's impossible to install a job of any size without something going wrong," Howard says. "Something's going to break. Something's going to be measured wrong. Things happen and things get fixed."
Try not to make too many changes, since that can increase the possibility of confusion and mistakes.
Design projects can move slowly. Davin says redecorating a master bedroom or family room can take at least three months. Design and decorating work for a home that's not yet built might take 18 months or more.

Steely Dan To Make New Album
Steely Dan can "smell" a new album. The duo of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen discussed their process with Billboard as they are gearing up for a tour called Mood Swings 2013: 8 Miles to Pancake Day.
Becker explains where they are on recording a new album, "It's in the air, it really is. It's just a smell now. The next thing is then you taste it, then you start to feel it. You know how this goes."
Fagen notes that he struggles to write on the road, but they already have songs that they worked on, "Back in, like, 1984." He goes on, "We have a bunch of things."
The band hits the road soon and will play shows through September. They will perform at Uptown Amphitheater in Charlotte on September 17. For much of the band's career, they avoided the road. But, for the past 20 years, they've toured on a regular basis.

Air Force One pilot's 9/11 mission: Keep president safe
WASHINGTON – For Mark Tillman, Air Force One pilot, neither doomsday training nor years of experience prepared him for Sept. 11, 2001.
"There are all kinds of plans to keep the president safe, emergency action plans, in the event of nuclear attack," Tillman says. "Pretty much any major military attack, I knew exactly what to do with the president and where to take him to keep him safe.
"This was different. This was an attack from within. We had the president who didn't want to follow our plans for a nuclear attack, which is hide him, keep him safe and allow continuity of government."
INTERACTIVE: How 9/11 changed America
STORY: 9/11 traced new spiritual lines
As the 10th anniversary of the largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil approaches, Tillman, 53, who retired as a colonel from the Air Force in 2009, agreed to talk about the chaotic hours that followed the attacks, the worry that Air Force One was being stalked by terrorists, the flight back to Washington and the sight of the smoldering Pentagon.
The attacks in New York and Washington killed nearly 3,000 people and set the nation on a path to war.
By Michael Schennum, The Arizona Republic, for USA TODAY
Mark Tillman holds a photo of him with George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Tillman was the president's principal pilot in 2001.
Mission No. 3,480 appeared simple enough on paper. Depart Andrews Air Force Base near Washington at 1:15 p.m. on Sept. 10, according to the official flight itinerary. There would be stops in Jacksonville and Sarasota, Fla., where President Bush planned to showcase educational initiatives. Fly back to Andrews the afternoon of Sept. 11.
That round trip did occur — but with previously unscheduled stops at military bases in Louisiana and Nebraska, and a return to a Washington and a world that had changed forever.
As a young man, Tillman didn't consider an Air Force career, much less aspire to become the president's personal pilot. A native of South Florida, he thought of becoming a doctor and chose Tulane University for pre-med. He took a seat in class next to a student in an Air Force uniform. The Reserve Officer Training Cadet told Tillman that the program could help pay his tuition. Knowing his parents had only enough money for his first semester, Tillman signed up.
By Michael Schennum, The Arizona Republic, for USA TODAY
Mark Tillman sits in his Scottsdale, Ariz., office next to custom cowboy boots given to him by George W. Bush's boot maker.
Engineering appealed to him more than medicine, and his first Air Force assignment was in foreign intelligence, working on the propulsion systems of Soviet missiles. Flying seemed like fun, too, and Tillman soon found himself in flight school. He wanted to pilot big cargo planes to see the world. A later assignment — the 89th Airlift Wing — promised more global travel. Based at Andrews, it flies VIPs, senators, congress members, the vice president, first lady and the president.
By 2001, Tillman had reached the pinnacle: He had become the president's principal pilot.
The morning of Sept. 11, Tillman arrived at Sarasota airport a few hours before the scheduled return to Washington. Threats against Air Force One were routine, he says. They're mostly disgruntled folks making false claims. All of them are checked out. "In this case, there was nothing like that," he says. "On Sept. 11, literally going up to the plane, everything was normal."
The first reports of trouble in New York came from airmen watching local television and seeing images of the north tower of the World Trade Center ablaze. "At that point, we just assumed it was operator error because it was clear," Tillman says. "You can see clear skies, you can see a million miles."
There was no doubt about an attack when terrorists smashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the south tower. Tillman watched on television as White House chief of staff Andrew Card relayed the news to Bush, who was reading My Pet Goat with schoolchildren. America is under attack, Card told the president.
Tillman went through his checklist as Air Force One, a Boeing 747 with its familiar robin's-egg blue belly, idled on the runway at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, waiting for the president to board:
Double-check the identity of everybody getting on board.
Post an armed Air Force security officer outside the cockpit.
Keep the president safe.
The jet roared down the runway, "a rather steep takeoff," Tillman recalls. He heard from air controllers in Gainesville that an unidentified plane was descending toward them. He asked for fighter jets to protect the plane.
"I didn't know the capabilities of the terrorists, so just err to the worst case," Tillman says. "It wouldn't be bad to have fighter support in the event that airliners were tracking us. Maybe that airliner was coming to crash into us over Sarasota, saw us take off and was coming after us. In reality, it was just like many of the threats that day. It was not an actual threat. It was an airliner whose transponder had failed."
TV monitors on the plane showed the north tower collapse at 10:28 a.m. "Everyone we saw was shaken and aghast," noted the pool report filed by USA TODAY's Judy Keen and Time's Jay Carney, now the White House press secretary.
In the cabin, reporters and staffers noticed a fighter jet flying off the right wing of Air Force One at 11:29 a.m., according to the pool report. Staffers were asked to keep their cellphones turned off because the signal might allow terrorists to home in on Air Force One.
In the cockpit, Tillman received a chilling message. Air Force One was being targeted.
"We get out over the Gulf of Mexico, and the vice president advises the plane that 'Angel' is next," Tillman says. Angel at the time was the classified call sign of Air Force One. "We asked for fighter support as well as AWACs, a radar plane overhead to keep watch on any type of threats coming at us."
Despite risks, Bush was reluctant to hide
Bush wanted to return to Washington. Tillman's training, instinct and advice from White House aides was to stay away until the capital had been secured. There were airliners unaccounted for, and terrorists had seized San Francisco-bound United Airlines Flight 93 after takeoff from Newark, N.J., apparently intending to attack the city.
Tillman was aware that the president had ordered threatening planes be destroyed.
"When we got the word that (Flight 93) had gone off radar and had crashed, we all assumed immediately that the fighters had shot it down," Tillman says of Flight 93. "That was the most eerie feeling I'd ever had. We'd killed our own people to save the city of Washington, or wherever they were planning to attack. That was very sickening."
It took about half an hour to determine that the passengers, not the Air Force, brought the plane down, Tillman says. Still, Washington was not deemed safe for the president.
"One of the concerns was that Washington was where the terrorists would expect us to run to if something happened," Tillman says. "My plan was not to get back to Washington right away."
Tillman recommended Barksdale Air Force Base just outside Shreveport, La. The president's advisers agreed.
"It was a B-52 base," Tillman says. "Tremendous security. A kind of place you could definitely have the president hide out, address the nation and still be completely secure."
Air Force One landed at Barksdale at 10:45 CT. Bush went on the air at 11:36. His message was terse, lasting two minutes.
"Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward," Bush said.
Just after 12:30, Air Force One took off, this time headed to Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, home of U.S. Strategic Command. Its top-notch security and communications network appealed to Tillman and national security advisers. They spent only about an hour and a half at Offutt as Bush was anxious to return to Washington.
"This was a president who wanted to get back into the battle," Tillman says. "I say this jokingly, but I guess when they wrote these plans they didn't realize a Texan would be in office and his job was to go kick ass as soon as he could."
At end of day, drama hits home
Fighters escorted Air Force One back to Washington; it landed at Andrews Air Force Base just after 6:30 p.m.
The Pentagon, where 184 people were killed, smoldered as rescue crews combed the debris.
"Heading by the Pentagon kind of brought it all home to me," Tillman says. "I could see now the destruction."
It wasn't until Air Force One had landed, and the president had left Andrews, that Tillman says he thought about his role on Sept. 11.
"I wasn't thinking about the American people at the time, or who had been killed or who had been injured," Tillman says. "My goal was to keep this man safe and to continue on with my job.
"It wasn't until I landed, went back to my office, that I realized exactly what we'd done that day and how much we had had to do."
Tillman went on to pilot Air Force One for eight more years, flying Bush on 49 foreign trips to 75 countries and every state but Vermont, according to a tally compiled by CBS' Mark Knoller. Tillman flew Bush home to Texas after President Obama's 2009 inauguration and retired soon after.
He now directs flight operations for Discount Tire, a company based in Scottsdale, Ariz.
He recalls Bush fondly. The president took an interest in his family, he says, asking after son Patrick and daughters Erinn and Reilly.
"Total respect for him," Tillman says. "To this day, I'd do anything in the world for him."
The chief lesson of 9/11, Tillman says, is that the nation has to be prepared for the worst.
"We've got to be ready for it," he says.

One of my favorite memories of Elementary school was our Valentine's Day Party. It was one of the most fun and exciting times for me. Something about this special day made me smile, inside and out. It wasn't because of the things I got like chocolate or the sweet card I received every year from my dad, it was more about the emotion I felt on that day. Everyone was loved, even at school.
At school we would begin preparing for our party by making our own Valentine's box. This box would hold all of our Valentine's Day cards that we would exchange in class. Our box started out as an old shoe box. We would cover the box and lid in red or pink paper. We would cut a slit in the top so we would have an opening to slide the cards into. Then we were allowed to decorate it.
I would always cover my box in red paper. I especially liked the white lace heart I put on the top of the box. It accented the box in a unique way and looked the way I felt. Using a red marker I wrote Happy Valentine's Day in the middle of the heart. Once the top was finished I continued decorating the rest of the box; gluing smaller white hearts on, placing stickers of cupid in just the right place and other cut outs the teacher may have given us. I was always so proud of my box.
When the day of our party arrived our classroom was transformed into Valentine's masterpiece. Long tables aligned on the back wall all covered with red table cloths. And an array of sweets filled the table end to end; everything homemade. There were brownies, cookies, cakes, cupcakes, boxes of Valentine heart candy, red candy, white candy, and whatever else you could think of. A round table was set up next to the long one, which was host to the homemade slush (which my mom usually made). It was my favorite. When you drank it, your mouth was filled with punch and tiny slivers of ice all at the same time. You never got just punch or just ice. It was the perfect mixture. We had cut out hearts all different sizes and colors and tied them to a string and hung them with a paper clip from the tiles in the ceiling. Each student's desk was clean of any books or paper. The only thing we had out was our hand crafted Valentine's Day box.
We took turns passing out our Valentine's Day cards, carefully placing them in each person special box. The classroom was soon filled with laughter, oohs and ahhs as the the individual cards were received. We ate, we drank, we laughed and we were filled with love.
As I thought about this time in my life and how I felt, I wondered what made that day so special to me. I realized on that one day everyone was the same. No one was standing there waiting and wondering if they'd be the last ones picked for the dodgeball game at P.E. No one was being laughed at for the grade they received on the last assignment. No one was competing for first place or last. One this day everyone was equal.
I wish every day of my life could feel that good. I wish this for me, for my daughter, my husband and my friends. I wish everyone, every day, felt love like that.
Love, in the dictionary, is defined as a deep feeling of affection for or attachment or devotion to a person or persons; an expression of one's love or affection. It's a feeling of brotherhood and good will toward other people; a strong liking for or interest in something. Love is an action and an emotion.
Love is often perceived how others treat us. If I'm mean to you, you're probably not going to like me, much less love me. If someone cuts you off while driving, you're probably not going to smile and wave at them with sincere kindness and say that's okay, they must be in a hurry. We base love off of direct interaction toward us.
Love is also used more common today. It is most often associated with euphoria or an infatuation. It's that "high" we feel when something good is stirred inside us. We often associate love with what we feel at that moment in time. I loved the Valentine's Day parties at school and how they made me feel. Now, I love chocolate and coffee not always together. I love reading books and writing my article. I love how those things make me feel. I love the idea of love. I love a good love story; a romantic comedy. Why? Because in the end the girl gets the guy or the guy gets the girl. We all want or wish our life could be like the fairytales. We all want to be loved and accepted. We all want to be looked at as equal. But in reality most things we love today are short term and quick fixes. But one love is not short term; God's love. The love God has for us it's not based on who we are; it's based on who He is.
The Bible indicates that love is from God; the creator of all things, including us. Love is one of God's primary characteristics. And since we are created in His image, he has given us the capacity to love ourselves and other just as He loves us. He does not love us only when he feels like it, or when it's convenient for him. God's love is the ending of every fairytale; it is happily ever after. I hope this Valentine's Day you are filled with the kind of love that lasts forever and ever.

Leake leads Reds past Brewers 6-2
Mike Leake scattered four hits over 8 1-3 innings and Brandon Phillips had three RBI, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.
The Reds put the leadoff runner on base in each of the first seven innings and snapped a three-game losing streak.
Leake (8-4) bounced back from a rare rough start in his last outing and seemed to get stronger as the game progressed. He allowed four walks while striking out two, retiring 13 consecutive batters from the fifth to ninth innings.
Milwaukee starter Johnny Hellweg (0-3) had trouble throwing strikes and was battered for his fourth consecutive appearance. The right-hander, who made his major-league debut on June 28, allowed four runs on four hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings.

When you have type 2 diabetes, your pancreas still produces insulin. Over time, however, less and less of this hormone may be produced. This leads to the need to rely on insulin injections to control your blood glucose levels. Insulin injections may be added while continuing the use of diabetes pills.
Insulin, because it can improve blood glucose control, often will lead to a better quality of life and prevent or delay the complications and side effects of diabetes.
Insulin is divided into categories which are based on:
Rapid Acting
5 - 15 minutes
30 - 90 minutes
1 - 3 hours
3 - 5 hours
Short Acting
1/2 - 1 hour
2 - 4 hours
6 - 8 hours
1 - 2 hours
6 - 10 hours
10 - 16 hours
Long Acting
No peak action
18 - 24 hours
There are also combination insulin mixtures that are premixed, such as:
Each person responds differently to insulin. Your doctor will determine the best type of insulin and the best insulin schedule for you.

By Scott North Herald Writer
EVERETT — A Lynnwood man is facing two felony charges after he allegedly threatened to blow up a Boston-area call center days after the April 15 bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Stewart Roger Brooks, Jr., 48, has admitted making the calls because he was angry about messages he was receiving from the LoJack Contact Center in Canton, Mass, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Mona Clarkson said in court papers filed Monday.
LoJack operates an automatic vehicle-recovery service that alerts customers by text, e-mail or phone if their car is moved without their authorization. The company had transposed two digits of a subscriber's telephone number in its database and was mistakenly calling Brooks.
The defendant called the company multiple times on April 21, identified himself, and told workers that he was going to blow them up, Clarkson said in Snohomish County Superior Court documents. The call was recorded.
"You're gonna blow the (expletive) up now. I'll detonate your (expletive)," Brooks allegedly said during what the prosecutor described as "a tirade of profanities, obscenities, racial slurs and threats."
One call center worker later said "it was the most frightening and disturbing" call he'd received in his seven years working in customer service.
The call center is about 20 miles from Boston. The calls were made six days after two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 260.
The case was investigated by federal agents and local police. That led to the telephone owned by Brooks' father. A subpoena for the phone records documented three calls placed to LoJack, according to court papers.
When investigators spoke with Brooks on April 25 he reportedly acknowledged making the calls.
"He said the Boston bombings were all over the television news and he had been watching," Clarkson wrote. "He said he hoped to scare them with the threats and knew exactly what he was doing."
Brooks now is charged with one count each of telephone harassment and threats to bomb, both felonies. He has a 1996 felony conviction for marijuana trafficking and a dozen misdemeanors.
He's been free on $10,000 bail while prosecutors prepared their case.

Four parts today.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos even look perfect when they are just taking a random walk through the streets.
The thing that is most shocking in this photo is not Miley Cyrus tonguing her boyfriend who is wearing a unicorn costume, but just the length of Miley's tongue. It is huge. Like Gene Simmons huge. Apparently chewing gum 24/7 really makes your tongue big.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher in Australia.
Why hello Paula Abdul. She looks amazing.
I do believe that Prince Charles is trying to be sexy here.
Not so sexy in this look is Sharon Stone.
Nick Loeb knows that dinner is over with Sofia Vergara and he knows he is about to get some sex. With some strippers.
Three Twilight stars quiet when asked how come they have never received a best acting nomination in the Academy Awards.
Kristen Stewart did get to kiss some Golden Globe butt though with Simon Baker so she will probably get some nomination in return.


text: John Wimber (1934-1997), pastor, founder of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship. John Wimber was born and raised in Kirksville, Missouri. A talented singer and keyboard player, Wimber became a full-time musician after a stint in the Army and was for a time the pianist and manager for the Righteous Brothers pop duo. In 1963 Wimber underwent a conversion experience and enrolled at Azusa Pacific College where he majored in Biblical Studies. Upon graduation Wimber was "recorded" (ordained) within the California Yearly Meeting of Friends (Quakers) and took a position as co-pastor with the Yorba Linda Friends Church. In 1974 Wimber joined with Fuller Seminary missiologist C. Peter Wagner in creating the Charles E. Fuller Institute, a church growth organization. While with the Fuller Institute, Wimber became fascinated by reports from the Two/Thirds World recounting the impact of healings and other divine signs and wonders. Through his own study and the influence of theologian George Eldon Ladd, Wimber became convinced that the demonstration of the power of the Gospel through miracles always served to validate the preaching of the Word. In the mid-1970s a fellowship group at Wimber's church became increasingly dominated by charismatic worship. In 1977 the group was asked to leave and, in association with Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel, opened the Anaheim Vineyard Fellowship. Growth was anemic but healing services began to produce miraculous results. A Mother's Day, 1978 guest appearance by evangelist Lonnie Frisbee triggered a huge outpouring of charismatic phenomena and the church quickly grew to over 1,500 members. The impact of the Anaheim revival began to spread to a number of other Calvary Chapel congregations, causing disruption within the Calvary Chapel "family' of churches, as Smith downplayed charismatic behavior that Wimber's Vineyard revival was spotlighting. In 1982 a meeting was held and the decision made that Wimber's group of about forty churches would go its own way with Smith's blessing. Over the next few years Vineyard Churches in Toronto and elsewhere would be the epicenters of more controversy over new charismatic manifestations such as "Holy Laughter." While Wimber initially took a "wait and see" attitude about the revival he eventually moved to rein in the phenomenon. Wimber died of a brain hemorrhage in 1997, but only after having overseen the growth of the Vineyard Fellowship into the most dynamic new force within North American Pentecostalism. For further reading see Donald E. Miller, Reinventing American Protestantism: Christianity in the New Millennium (California, 1997); Carol Wimber, John Wimber: The Way It Was (Stodder & Houghton, 1999).

Then later on when they were not online, like non-office hours then I could use mac changer switch my mac and crack the wep key. After that one could crack the router and add ones self to the aproved mac list for a "backdoor" for further testing.

At least three people in McDonald's work clothes in New York's Times Square and about two dozen demonstrators at a Detroit Mickey D's were handcuffed and taken away because they were blocking traffic, cops say.
Protesters in about 150 cities are participating in the Fight for $15 campaign, according to union organizers who planned the event. The current minimum hourly wage in Michigan is $8.15; in New York, it's $8, reports the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Well let's see a printout of an lspci or lsusb, not to mention ifconfig.
Then we can help you better.
I have to stop and ask this question after reading around the net. There seems to be a bunch of conflicting responses as to whether or not the Atheros AR5009 drivers are in the BT4 final. I see no evidence - either way - in the hardware list forum.
I have been struggling with BT4 final on a USB and using the Atheros AR5009 chip.
Can someone definitively inform me IF the AR5009 needed drivers are resident in the BT4 final? My experience shows they are not fully developed, but I could really use some experienced members here to chime in.
There are tons of threads around the net with people at a loss for the AR5009 atheros chip, and its used on a bunch of laptops.
My frustration stems from being soooooo close but the machine will not inject and I am almost certain that the AR5009 is the culprit.
Hopefully a Mod will OK my post/thread so a bunch of us using AR5009's can get our answer.
I will do anything reasonable to get this working. If I have to do a complete install I will, but even there I don't see any significant support for the AR5009's.
Assistance please????
Well let's see a printout of an lspci or lsusb, not to mention ifconfig.
Then we can help you better.
I am attaching the lspci -v and iwconfig reports as requested. The lspci is kind of long so I only pasted in the section pertaining to the network controller.
Please note that the AR928X adapter is seen. I don't know how to interpret this report but from a newbie viewpoint I see section [100] shows an advanced error report, along with section [160] showing no device serial number.
The kernel driver and kernel modules show to be using ath9k which is what it is supposed to indicate.
I hope this report shows something to you members with linux sage, because its over my head. I am reading and studying every day and continuing my struggle.
Can anyone here make some sense out of these reports and give me steer ---- PLEASE???
Well I have beat myself up long enough on this.
Newbie here. After reading around for like 30 hours I have come to understand that IF I want wireless capabilities I need to get a USB wireless card anyway. I will be running in VM and the atheros on the motherboard will not work for full wireless in that mode. There is no sense in manipulating the drivers if I even can, only to end up with injecting successfully but nowhere to go afterward.
I should have read the sticky sooner talking about the NEED for a USB wireless card if the user (ME) is going to be using Backtrack from VM or virtual.
I ordered a new genuine awus036h 1000mw card. Should be here middle of next week and then I'll go from there.
Sounds like its almost plug and play out of the box for the basics. Although I am planning on running VM as my mode, but I do have one question just for a super basic starting point to make sure the wireless card works properly when I get it:
If I insert my USB bootable BT 4 flash, which I already have working, will it see the awus036h automatically during boot if they are both plugged in as the machine boots?
I don't want to run in this mode for long, but it would be a way to make sure the card is working and not broken. Meantime I will be working on doing my homework for setting up the VM ware.
I would appreciate an answer to my question regarding the "automatic" detection of my card during boot.

1. Informal a. A narcotic, especially an addictive narcotic. b. Narcotics considered as a group. c. An illicit drug, especially marijuana. 2. A narcotic preparation used to stimulate a racehorse. 3. Informal A stupid person; a dolt. 4. Informal Factual information, especially of a private nature. 5. Chemistry An absorbent or adsorbent material used in certain manufacturing processes, such as the nitroglycerin used in making dynamite. 6. A type of lacquer formerly used to protect, waterproof, and tauten the cloth surfaces of airplane wings. 7. Chiefly Southern U.S. See cola1. 8. Lower Northern U.S. Syrup or sweet sauce poured on ice cream.
The etymology of 'dope' quite surprised me:
Before it came to mean "a narcotic or narcotics considered as a group," dope was borrowed into English from the Dutch word doop, "sauce." Throughout the 19th century it meant "gravy." In the North Midland United States, particularly Ohio, dope is still heard as the term for a topping for ice cream, such as syrup or a chocolate or fruit sauce. In the South, particularly in South Carolina, dope means "a cola-flavored soft drink." The term might be related to the Northern usage as a reference to the sweet syrup base of a cola drink. However, folk wisdom has it that dope recalls the inclusion of minute amounts of cocaine in the original Atlanta recipe for Coca-Cola, which was named after this exotic ingredient.
The noun 'doop', meaning 'a thick sauce, gravy' doesn't exist in Modern Standard Dutch anymore. But 'dope' in the sense of stimulating narcotic (*) seems to go back to a secundary, technical meaning of that Dutch word, viz. a thick, sticky liquid that got used to absorb other liquids, and more specifically, at least according to one of the sources, a mixture of tar, oil, punpowder [edit: Gunpowder] and other stuff used in fireworks.
Modern Dutch reloaned English 'doping' as a noun, with the meaning of an illegal stimulating product. French 'doper' comes from AE 'to dope', while French 'dopage' also made it into Dutch, but it is now considered to be slightly dialectical.
Dutch 'doop' is related to English 'dip', and the normal word for 'to baptise' in Dutch is 'dopen', which seems to be due to Gothic missionaries (a.o. in Bavaria) who used 'daupjan' (related to OE diepan) as a translation of Greek 'baptizein' (which lit. means 'to dip').
(*) narcotic: from Mod.L., from Gk. narkosis, from narkoun "to benumb."
Hence my surprise at "narcotic preparation to stimulate a racehorse" -- or a Floyd Landis, or an Eddie Merckx. One of the cyclists in which both the stimulating and narcotic effect got united is Tom Simpson. (May he be eternally numb in peace).

A Torrance resident who has coached ice skating at rinks throughout Southern California was charged Monday with molesting a teenage boy, sheriff's deputies said.
Donald Vincent, 29, was arrested at his home Friday by detectives from the Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Unit, sheriff's Lt. Carlos Marquez said.
Vincent has coached youth ice skaters for seven years at rinks in Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties.
The rinks were identified as Skating Edge Ice Arena in Harbor City, the East/West Ice Palace in Artesia, Glacial Gardens in Lakewood, Norwalk Ice in Norwalk, Paramount Iceland in Paramount, Anaheim Ice in Anaheim and Ice Town Riverside in Riverside.
Sheriff's deputies began investigating last month when the victim, now 17, told a friend at a youth camp what had happened to him. That friend told another person who encouraged the victim to come forward, Marquez said.
"The victim told sheriff's investigators that he was repeatedly molested by his skating coach at the coach's Hacienda Heights home when he was between the ages of 12 to 15," Marquez said.
Vincent was arrested on suspicion of felony child molestation charges. He was held in county jail on $1 million bail.
Prosecutors on Monday charged Vincent with one count of continuous lewd acts with a minor and two counts of lewd acts with a minor 14 or 15 years old.
Detectives suspect there might be more victims and asked anyone with information about Vincent to contact them at 877-710-5273 or email@example.com.

A 1973 conversation between
The conversation is part of newly-released secretly recorded tapes from the Nixon presidency, from the
An earlier release of tapes in 2002 shocked fans of Graham, who is heard agreeing with Nixon as the president rails against liberal Jews' political activism and media clout. Graham tells Nixon how Jews befriend him but adds, "They don't know how I really feel about what they're doing to this country."
FAITH & REASON: What does 'synagogue of Satan' really mean?
On Wednesday, as he did in 2002, Graham's longtime spokesman A. Larry Ross said Graham has never been an anti-Semite and that the remarks should be understood in context, as part of a conversation with the president.
In 2002, Graham said he had no recollection of such remarks but apologized deeply for any offense they may have caused. Now, Graham, 90, and still mobile with a walker, is no longer doing media interviews, although he sent a message of greeting to a meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, underway in Louisville.
The 1973 transcript is a wide-ranging conversation between Graham and Nixon in which Graham heaps praise on the president, telling him "Congratulations on everything," and "I believe the Lord is with you."
Nixon raises the news that Israel had mistakenly shot down a Libyan civilian airliner, killing all on board. Nixon says, "What I really think is, deep down in this country, there is a lot of anti-Semitism, and all this is going to do is stir it up."
Graham agrees that it will push anti-Semitism "right to the top." Then he turns the conversation to a report he read somewhere that Israel supposedly wants to "expel all the Christians." Graham mentions Jewish opposition to a Christian evangelical unified campaign, saying Jews are "going right after the church."
He also mentions an upcoming meeting with the interreligious affairs director of the
In 1973, Graham calls Tanenbaum the "cleverest and most brilliant" of the rabbis.
Nixon mentions an upcoming dinner with Israeli Prime Minister
This is a prophetic book by John the apostle who, like Christ, was Jewish.
Anti-Defamation League director Abraham Foxman on Wednesday blasted both Nixon and Graham, saying that, "while never expressing these views in public, Rev. Graham unabashedly held forth with the president with age-old classical anti-Semitic canards."
But Ross says the "synagogue of Satan" phrase in the Book of Revelation actually refers to anyone whose "lives and work are not in keeping with traditional Jewish values."

Cranial mononeuropathy VIAbducens paralysis; Abducens palsy; Lateral rectus palsy; Vith nerve palsy; Cranial nerve VI palsy
Cranial mononeuropathy VI is a nerve disorder. It prevents some of the muscles that control eye movements from working well. As a result, people may see two of the same image (double vision).
Cranial mononeuropathy VI is damage to the sixth cranial (skull) nerve. This nerve, also called the abducens nerve helps you move your eye sideways toward your temple (laterally).
Disorders of this nerve can occur with:
- Brain aneurysms
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Gradenigo's syndrome (which also causes discharge from ear and eye pain)
- Increased or decreased pressure in the skull
- Infections (such as meningitis or sinusitis)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Pregnancy
- Stroke
- Trauma (caused by head injury or accidentally during surgery)
- Tumors around or behind the eye
In some people, there is no obvious cause.
Because there are common nerve pathways through the skull, the same disorder that damages the sixth cranial nerve may affect other cranial nerves (such as the third or fourth cranial nerve).
When the sixth cranial nerve does not work properly, you cannot turn your eye outwards toward your ear. You can still move your eye up, down, and towards the nose, unless other nerves are affected.
In general symptoms may include:
- Double vision when looking to one side
- Headaches
- Pain around the eye
Exams and Tests
Tests typically show that one eye has trouble looking to the side, while the other eye moves normally. An examination shows the eyes do not line up -- either at rest, or when looking in the direction of the weak eye.
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
- Blood tests
- Head imaging study (such as an MRI or CT scan)
- Spinal tap (lumbar puncture)
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in visual problems related to the nervous system (neuro-ophthalmologist).
If your health care provider diagnoses swelling or inflammation of, or around the nerve, medications called corticosteroids will be used.
Sometimes, the condition may disappear without treatment. People with diabetes may benefit from close control of blood sugar levels.
Until the nerve heals, wearing an eye patch will relieve double vision.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treating the cause may improve the condition. Most people in whom no cause is found recover completely.
Possible Complications
Complications may include permanent vision changes.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have double vision.
There is no way to prevent this condition. However, people with diabetes may reduce the risk by controlling their blood sugar.

It was not long before Colombo began purchasing and cultivating his own vineyards - first in Cornas then throughout the Rhône Valley and Languedoc - leading to the establishment in 1994 of Vins Jean-Luc Colombo. The wines of Vins Jean-Luc Colombo are all sourced from Colombo's own vineyards and from carefully selected domains under his direct consultation.
Colombo has not limited his magical sphere of influence to Cornas. The company now embraces 27 wines representing major appellations of the Rhône Valley as well as the Languedoc and Roussillon regions of southern France. Most recently, Colombo has returned to his roots for his latest winemaking venture in the Côte Bleue district near Marseilles. View all Jean-Luc Colombo Wines
About Cotes du RhoneView a map of Cotes du Rhone wineries
The appellation of Côtes du Rhône encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine – over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. Wines here need only be from the Côtes de Rhône geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide classification, it's a surprise and joy that so many of these wines reach such a high quality. While there are areas in the Northern Rhône that meet the classification of Côtes du Rhône, most all of this appellation is in the Southern Rhône. Wines here are based mostly on Grenache, like other Rhône reds, while the whites focus on Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also allowed although typically used in smaller quantities.
Notable FactsThere is one higher level in the Côtes du Rhône called Côtes du Rhône Villages. These wines are from specific village areas that have a few more standards the wine must reach to receive the village label. Some to take note of are Cairanne, Rasteau, Seguret and Beaumes-de-Venise. The good thing about both Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages is that big producers of the smaller appellations are taking the opportunity and freedom offered by this broad appellation and creating wines of very high quality, and lower in price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Baxendale paying off early for Miracle
Twins prospect puts up seven more zeros, drops ERA to 1.07
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | May 17, 2013 7:43 PM ET
Every year, once you get past a team's first couple of high-profile selections in the Draft, there's a sense that the dozens of picks who follow are lottery tickets with varying odds.
Obviously, there's a difference to being drafted in the 10th round and, say, the 42nd. But with few exceptions, there are players with elite pedigrees taken early on, and there's everyone else who comes off the board later.
Farm systems are built, and scouts build reputations, on the fact that a number of these lower-round tickets will cash in. Early in the first stage of this career, Twins prospect D.J. Baxendale is looking like one such winner.
The 2012 10th-round pick tossed seven three-hit innings on Friday, striking out three batters and walking two, to lead Class A Advanced Fort Myers to an 8-0 whitewash of Charlotte.
Baxendale (6-0) made only 17 appearances after signing last year, pitching 18 2/3 innings between Rookie-level Elizabethton and Class A Beloit. The brief debut was still eye-opening as he notched a 0.96 ERA with 31 strikeouts against two walks.
The 22-year-old right-hander was sent to Fort Myers to begin this season, making him one of two 10th-rounders from last year to start the campaign as high as Class A Advanced. And like his debut in 2012, the early results stand out -- Baxendale leads the Florida State League in wins and with a 1.07.
"I was very shocked to be starting for Fort Myers this year. I feel very honored that the Twins thought enough of me to start in [Class A Advanced]," the University of Arkansas product said. "And I'm proud of myself for performing so far to not make the Twins' front office look stupid.
"I always demand success from myself, always feel like I should go out and pitch well enough for the team to get a victory, so, kind of in a way, I had expected to throw this well. But to actually go out and throw like I have, it probably would not have been realistic to say that I expected that in my head."
Pitching out of a low three-quarters delivery and wielding a fastball that sits between 88-90 mph to go with a curveball, slider and developing changeup, Baxendale looks like one of the diamonds in the rough to emerge from the Draft.
Part of his success derives from how rarely he allows walks. In three years as a Razorback, the Arkansas native issued 68 free passes over 252 2/3 innings while striking out 217 and registering a 2.71 career ERA in the Southeastern Conference.
In 50 1/3 innings over eight starts for the Miracle, he's tied for fifth in the FSL with 44 strikeouts against only nine walks. And his 0.77 WHIP leads the league.
"I pride myself on being able to attack the zone, throw low strikes, attack hitters. I don't like walking people at all," said Baxendale, the Twins Organizational Pitcher of the Month for April and reigning FSL Pitcher of the Week. "I'd rather throw a good pitch and let the hitter get a hit than throw four balls to a guy and feel like I'm just giving him a free pass. I stay away from them as much as I can.
"I keep a book on every hitter I face, to know what I did good, what I did bad, what I should do the next time I face him. I like to say I'm a student of the game."
Twins top prospect Miguel Sano supported Baxendale with his league-leading 11th homer, giving him 32 RBIs and a .362/.457/.681 lines through 38 games.
"He's scary. I'm very, very happy to have him on my team," Baxendale said. "To see a player like Miguel, who's so young, so talented, be able to go out every day and stay even-headed and continue to work like he does, it's pretty impressive."
Angel Morales chipped in three hits, including a pair of triples and three RBIs for Fort Myers. Kennys Vargas added a two-run homer.

GSA Adds New Small Business Approach to Post FTS 2000 Technical and Management Support Contracts
October 24, 1996
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231
Internet: firstname.lastname@example.com
In an effort to provide greater opportunity for small business and 8(a) firms to compete for more world-wide government telecommunications business, the General Services Administration is adding new language to its upcoming Post FTS2000 technical and management support contracts.
GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS) 2000 contracts were awarded to AT&T and Sprint in 1988 to provide intercity telecommunications services. The awards are due to expire in December 1998. During the transition to the follow-on contracts, and for some time afterwards, GSA expects to award multiple contracts for support services.
This additional TMS contract language offers a new competitive approach for small business and 8(a) firms. The language states that the first award will be made to the offerors, large or small, determined to provide the best value to the Government. It further states that if two or more responsive offers are received from small business firms and from 8(a) firms, separate evaluations will be conducted.
This provision affords one small business and one 8(a) firm, capable of satisfying the government's requirements at reasonable prices, a fair opportunity to win prime contracts, making them eligible to compete for individual task orders under the contracts. The governing standard industrial code will be 4813, which has an employee limit of 1,500. To prevent unfair competitive advantage, a prime contractor for TMS cannot be a prime contractor on any other procurement for which it provides assistance.
The TMS acquisition provides a broad array of services on a world-wide basis to support GSA, its customers, authorized federal contractors, sponsored universities and laboratories, and as authorized, to state, local and tribal governments. The contract is fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity for two base years and three option years.
A request for proposals is expected to be issued around November 1 with proposals due on January 2, 1997. The solicitation will be available via the Internet at http://post.fts2k.gsa.gov.

you dont need a 4/3 now... go with the 3/2... You should be able to find lots of sales in shops now on the rubber.
micah I am just looking towards fall I would like her to be able to get to the end of oct with it and I am thinking the 3/2 will be a little light.
3/2, 3 mill boots, 3-5 mill gloves should get her to the end of october.
haha ended up with an oneil epic 2 in a 4/3
I understand that being cold is subjective but wtf the water/air usually stays warm well into November. December is when you want to make that switch to like a 5/4 depending on how the weather is going. I remember one year where I was in a 4/3 in December because we had unusually warm weather/water for that time of year.
O and to the poster... your soon to be ball and chain is going to be mega hot in that 4/3. The water just keeps getting warmer and warmer till about mid September (trunking it in sept) so she can go well into fall in a 3/2.
A good rule for NJ is have a really good 3/2 and have a 5/4. There is really no need for a 4/3 around here. None. I have one because I was a kook at one time and like to waste money. Been in my 3/2 since April.
one word for you:
I thought that this thread was going to be a list of guys that your fiance wanted in the water!!!!
wow well the 4/3 was a good call she loved it I sweated my nuts off int he three two picked up a new xcel 1mm top tonight that way I can trunk it tommorow.

It's not about you
I'll be there. You should be there, too.
As many of you know, I am in the throes of using Fedora 15 Alpha on a desktop box running the GNOME 3 — also innocuously known in Fedora circles as "desktop" — as well as using F15 Alpha KDE on the road warrior laptop, the long-in-the-tooth ThinkPad T30 which, while completely faithful and trusty, is often Exhibit A in the "gee, I wish I had newer hardware" diatribes I often utter.
The F15 Alpha experience so far has been great — the T30 just hums along with KDE 4.6.1 in a way that's incredibly eerie. Alphas aren't supposed to run this error-free, I say, knocking hard on wood. The desktop box with "desktop" also hums along as well, error-free like the laptop, but there's something I can't put my finger on regarding the GNOME 3 experience so far that is . . . .
Offputting. Well, that's not exactly the word I'm looking for, but it's as close as I can come.
I can't explain it any better than that. There's something that wants me to keep GNOME 3 at arm's length, and while I'll keep "desktop" on the desktop box once F15 is released — for obvious reasons involving the need to keep up with GNOME for — I am not sure it will be my primary desktop environment going forward.
To be honest, I'm a huge GNOME fan and I felt guilty about feeling this way until I read this blog item by Swapnil Bhartiya entitled "My Wife Loves GNOME 3." The blog item is worth a read — and go ahead, I'll wait — but to summarize, Swapnil installed F15 Alpha on a machine to review, and his "non-techie" (Swapnil's words) wife instead took GNOME 3 for a test drive and loved it.
And then it hit me, hopefully without leaving a mark: It's not about me, or you for that matter.
The "it," of course, is developments like GNOME 3 and, to a degree, the Unity desktop. The "me" and "you" that make up the "us" in this equation are the experienced user who others come to for advice and answers when it comes to Linux and FOSS.
It's not about us. It's about getting the newer users comfortable with Linux/FOSS.
You and I can tweak our desktop environments — heck, our systems, for that matter — to be whatever they want. Those who are new to Linux don't have that knowledge, let alone the capability.
Add to the mix that netbooks and other mobile devices are eclipsing desktops and laptops — a fact that I find hard to bear, but can't argue against — and you have a formula that spells the future of desktop environments that puts ease of use and like-minded usability between mobile and laptop/desktop computers in the forefront.
So I don't feel so bad about getting used to GNOME 3 now, and I get why it's the way it is. And all those bad things I said about Unity . . . OK, well let's not get carried away here.
Fedora 15 Alpha is out there. Get it here.

I did get the "eunuch" line from you! I use it often.
I bet you love those hats with the little adjustable strap on
the back?
The computer world, software mostly, is going in strange
directions. But with the corporation/government infringement
turning our computer experience into something much like the
TV we are not losing much. So we can sit back and dream of the old days? Hell no!
Just remember, one thought fits all. Larry, please do not
march backwards into the future.

Dear FOS11 Member,
The following statement was put together by members of several family groups and expresses a range of concerns over the development plans for the World Trade Center memorial. Please note that the comments include parts of the site over which the LMDC does not have any control and the issues involved may be those of the City or of the private developer, Larry Silverstein. That is why you might want to customize the comments below as you see fit.
You may have read recently that issues of security have led Mr. Silverstein to suggest that public money be used to make the Freedom Tower safer. We are concerned that this further reduces the chance that public money will be used for what the public wants -- a respectful memorial. The quality of the design of the memorial must not be affected by the fate or future of the other buildings on or around the site. In other words, the memorial comes first.
Commenting is important, especially as this may be your last opportunity to make your voices heard. Please read the following statement (which includes contact information for the LMDC) and make your feelings known BEFORE MAY 6th.

text: Apparently every actor in the 90's was in love with Kirstie Alley while she was married to Parker Stevenson. To hear Kirstie tell it, every guy in Hollywood was lined up to date her or wanted her and she wanted them all just as badly but her marriage vows kept her from actually being physical with any of them. Last week Kirstie shared with all of us how John Travolta is the love of her life and how close they came to having sex. Uh huh. Last night on Entertainment Tonight she says that during the filming of North And South that Patrick Swayze and Kirstie fell in love with each other while they were both married but that neither of them did anything about it physically because they were both married. Next week Kirstie will tell us all about the time she and George Wendt couldn't keep their hands off each other during Cheers and how Tom Cruise calls her late at night wanting to talk dirty.
