Three more judicial filibuster falsehoods, courtesy of James Dobson
Focus on the Family founder and chairman James C. Dobson made a series of false and misleading claims about the Senate's use of the filibuster to block judicial nominees. On the April 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Dobson asserted: 1) that former Clinton nominee Richard A. Paez "was not an appeals court judge" and would not "have had a majority if given a simple up-or-down vote"; 2) that former President Bill Clinton "got 100 percent" of his appellate court nominees who reached the floor approved; and 3) that the "ABA [American Bar Association] had given its highest stamp of approval" to the 10 Bush nominees filibustered by Senate Democrats.
First, Clinton did indeed nominate Paez for an appellate court seat; he was finally confirmed in March 2000 after four years [1] of delay by the Republican-controlled Senate. Second, Republican senators blocked 16 of Clinton's appellate court nominees in his second term alone. Finally, only three of the 10 Bush nominees that Democrats have filibustered have received the ABA's highest rating.
Responding to co-host Alan Colmes's suggestion that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is being "disingenuous" by "acting as if the filibuster's a terrible thing" after Frist himself had voted to filibuster Paez's nomination, Dobson replied: "That was not an appeals court judge. And it was not a situation where the judge would have had a majority if given a simple up-or-down vote." But Paez was an appeals court nominee, and he was ultimately approved in an up-or-down vote. The Los Angeles Times reported [2] on November 13, 2003: "As recently as March 2000, several Republicans voted to filibuster two Californians whom President Clinton had named to the 9th Circuit appellate court: Richard A. Paez and Marsha L. Berzon. ... Ultimately, the Republican stalling tactics failed, and both jurists now sit on the appellate court."
Dobson then purported to "quote the statistics" to Colmes on the ratio of appellate nominees approved during the Clinton and Bush administrations: "President Bush has only gotten 67 percent of his appeals court nominees through when they got to the floor of the Senate. Bill Clinton got 100 percent." But Dobson's statistic is highly misleading; in fact, the Republican-led Senate kept 16 [3] of Clinton's second-term appellate court nominees "off the floor," in most cases denying them even committee hearings.
Finally, in response to Colmes, who said of Democratic filibusters that "we're talking about 10 [nominees] out of 205 who have been confirmed," Dobson countered that those 10 nominees had received the ABA's "highest stamp of approval." But of the 10 Bush nominees [4] filibustered by Senate Democrats, only three -- Miguel Estrada, David McKeague, and Priscilla Owen -- have received a unanimous "Well Qualified" rating from the ABA (ratings for all nominees are listed during the 108th Congress [5] and the 109th Congress [6]), and McKeague initially received a split rating of "Well Qualified" and "Qualified" during the 108th Congress before receiving an unanimous "Well Qualified" rating during the 109th Congress. Of the remaining seven filibustered nominees, four received a split rating of "Well Qualified" and "Qualified," and three received a split rating of "Qualified" and "Not Qualified."

New Early Voting Hours Set For Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- New early voting hours for the final days before Election Day have been set following a federal judge's order last week.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted says voters will get a total of 18 hours to vote in person on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before presidential primaries and presidential and gubernatorial general elections.
"We'll have the most expansive early voting schedule for the last week of the election that we've ever had," said Husted.
He directed polls to be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday; and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday for the major elections.
Different hours were set for the final days of municipal, primary and special elections.
The directive comes on the heels of a court ruling in a 2012 lawsuit filed by President Barack Obama's re-election campaign and Democrats.
"From my perspective, this matter is now settled. I urge those who have strenuously opposed uniformity in voting hours to respect the decision of the court as I have and join me in educating all Ohioans about their many opportunities to vote," Husted said.
Absentee ballot applications will go out shortly Labor Day to all voters allowing them to vote by mail from home.
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern says while he's happy with the hours, he's disappointed that it took a court order to make it happen.
Ohio has 28 days before the election to cast a ballot. The national average is 19 days with several states having no early voting at all. When asked if 28 days was enough time to vote, Redfern dismissed the question.
"Those who ask that question consider voting to be a privilege and they would be wrong," he said noting that it's a right protected by the Constitution.
Redfern said that if there are additional barriers to voting put up, they'll go back to court to tear them down.

Measuring Spoons
Rated 5 out of 5 by CookingInPortland from Heavy Duty Measuring Cups and Spoons These measuring cups and spoons are great. The odd sizes come in handy. They are quite heavy for their size. A well made essential for every kitchen.Date published: 2016-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by CookinNorCal from Odd size measuring spoon set is wonderful When I first saw these I was skeptical and a good bit cynical: really, you can get the same measures using the standard set and going through the more motions. But I wanted a 1/8 C (ie, 2T) measure which this set has, so I bought them. So glad I did! They are really wonderful quality with a lovely ergonomic design for ease of use with a nice feel plus are calibrated for accuracy....nice! I'm amazed how much I use all 3 of these oddsize spoons! They are really useful not only for baking, but also for prep of global cuisines using lots of spices, measuring honey, mustards and balsamics/vinegars for dressings (seriously!), etc ...these spoons are champs. I also own the WS narrow standard measuring spoons: great for digging in narrow spice jars PLUS that set has the hard-to-find 1/8t measuring spoon. But, I like this oddsize set so much that I will also get the companion standard set that are part of this line ....yes, I can put all these measuring spoons to great use. Highly recommend.Date published: 2016-01-02Rated 5 out of 5 by JeanneInJax from Excellent measuring cups & spoons These cups and spoons have easy to hold handles, stack well, and clean beautifully. They make cooking that much easier. Love them.Date published: 2015-12-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne114 from My favorite measuring cups I love this stainless measuring set, they are accurate, good quality and will last. They are weighty so if have hand or wrist issues this might be a difficult set to use.Date published: 2015-12-16Rated 5 out of 5 by PetPet from Measuring cups and spoons Not the average If you cook and bake a lot like I do, you will find these cups and spoons are designed to save time. Instead of using two cups to get 1 1/2 cup, you can use one cup that measures 1 1/2 cup or using two dips to get 2 tablespoons you can use one spoon that measures two tablespoons. I am proud to get them and love using them. The quality is the best.Date published: 2015-11-16Rated 5 out of 5 by lilitalia84 from The best for baking! I had been wanting these measuring cups and spoons for a long time, and received both the regular and odd-sized sets as wedding gifts. These are a joy to use! I never use either of my plastic and melamine sets any more. The heavy weight is great, and I love that they all stand up on their own, and fit neatly into each other for storage. They also clean very easily. The handles are very nice too. I love all the sizes, and only wish a 1/8 tsp, 1-1/2 tsp and a 2-cup measuring cup were included or available to buy separately.Date published: 2015-11-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda33 from Quality measuring cups.....nice design I love williams Sonoma for the quality in their pieces and this is a great example of that, I picked them because of the design and shape of the handle that were unlike any others I've seen. Their heavy, look new after washing in the dishwasher, the smallest one stands up on its own, and the spoons are great too! I can't think of anything bad to say about them...I will continue to replace my plastic with pieces like this!Date published: 2015-10-08Rated 5 out of 5 by bry8 from Made well.

Brevard, N.C. - Aaron Reese connected with Eric Watts for a 10 yard score and added a one yard plunge in the third quarter, but Josh Wright capped off a 15 play, 97 yard drive with the go-ahead nine yard touchdown run as the Tornados fell on Senior Day in Brevard Memorial Stadium, 17-13.
Salonick Amos had two interceptions and added three more pass breakups, while Prince Simunyu racked up a career high 18 tackles for Brevard (3-7, 1-5 SAC) in their final game in Brevard Memorial Stadium. Rufus Jenkins added a game high 3.5 tackles for loss to go with 11 tackles, while Michael Gist, Anthony Shakir and Christian Lumbu were all in double digits in takedowns as the Tornados fell in the home finale.
Jacob Charest was 15-for-20 through the air for Catawba (3-7, 2-4 SAC) for 171 yards and shook off a pair of interceptions to hook up with Eric Morman for a touchdown. Josh Wright added 58 rushing yards and the winning score, while Kewone Harris and Cory Johnson led the Indians' defensive efforts with each breaking the double-digit barrier in tackles on the game.
Catawba won the coin toss and elected to receive, starting their opening drive at the 33 yard line. 14 plays and 6:20 later, the Tornados stopped Charest at the line of scrimmage on third-and-3, forcing the Indians to attempt the 24 yard field goal. Thomas Trexler's effort went spinning sideways, but went through the uprights to put the Indians up 3-0 with 8:40 left in the first quarter.
Jumal Rolle ended a BC drive late in the first quarter, picking off a Reese pass at the Brevard 25 yard line and returned it to the BC 6, before Campbell and Kelvin Jeter pushed him out of bounds. After a pair of Jacorian Brown runs advanced the ball to the BC 3, running out the clock, Amos went up and tip-toed the backline while hauling in Charest's pass with his right hand, recording the interception and ending the Indians scoring chance.
The Tornados moved the ball down to the Catawba 16 yard line on the ensuing possession, but turned the ball over on downs and the Indians took advantage of a BC face mask penalty and a pair of 20-plus yard completions to Nate Charest and Bobby Morrison before Jacob Charest capped off the 11 play, 84 yard drive with a 10 yard scoring strike to Morman to give the Indians the 10-0 lead with 2:42 to play in the half.
A 32 yard Jeter kickoff return put the Tornados in prime position to score before the half as Brevard took over on their 42 yard line. A six yard carry by Reese on third-and-1 extended the possession and an 18 yard completion from Reese to Andre Overholt gave Brevard first and goal at the Catawba 10 yard line. On the next pass, Reese connected with Watts in the left corner on the fade route as the 6-4 wide receiver wrestled the ball away from the defender before falling to the ground for the score. Austin Clark's PAT put the score at 10-7 as the teams went into the locker room.
A kick catching interference call gave BC the ball on their own 47 yard line on the Tornados second possession in the third quarter, and Brevard took advantage of the field position as Reese connected with Overholt for a 13 yard completion. After a one yard carry by Rodney Donald, Reese went the rest of the way, carrying the ball three times for 28 yards before closing out the drive with a one yard plunge over the pile to give the Tornados the lead. Clark's extra point sailed wide right though, to keep the score at 13-10 with 3:45 to play in the quarter.
Amos put the Tornados in position to put the game out of reach, picking off a Charest pass on third-and-5 from the Catawba 25 as time expired in the third quarter, returning the ball 26 yards to the Indians 7 yard line. However, the Indians defense stood up, holding the Tornados to four yards on the drive, before a pair of incompletions turned the ball over on downs at the Catawba 3 yard line.
The Indians used 12 rushes and three passes to move the ball down field, added by an offside call on the Tornados defense, as well as a late hit personal foul which kept the Catawba drive alive, before Wright went up the middle from nine yards out for the go-ahead score, capping off the 15 play, 97 yard drive, chewing up 6:43 off the clock.
On their final drive of the game, Reese kept BC in contention with a nine yard completion to Sean Lampkin on third-and-5 from the BC 43 yard line. A quarterback sack by C.J. Barksdale and Damein Lee three plays later on third-and-9 put the Tornados in a hole and Reese's final completion to Donald was short of the first down marker, and the Indians were able to run out the clock in recording the 17-13 victory.
For the game, Reese was seven-for-13 through the air for 101 yards and a touchdown, and the senior quarterback was also the leading rusher in the game with 17 carries for 75 yards and the touchdown. Watts added three receptions for 47 yards and a score, while Overholt finished with two catches for 31 yards.
Morman led the Indians receivers with five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown, while Nate Charest added five receptions and 54 yards in the game as the Indians avenged their 7-6 defeat in the Mud Bowl game played at Brevard Memorial Stadium two years ago.
Prior to kickoff, the Tornados recognized their 14 seniors, Christian Lumbu, Caleb Campbell, Richard Ray, Salonick Amos, Derek Church, Charles Chambers, Prince Simunyu, Michael Gist, Rashad Dirton, Aaron Reese, Jerel Drew, Rodney Donald, Adam Cordell and Tyler Fisher during the pregame festivities, as well as senior cheerleaders Terika Pearcy, Ki'era Gash, Amanda Metcalf, Alice Klochkova and Krisma Sellers. All of the football seniors served as team captains for the Tornados during the pregame coin flip.
Brevard wraps up the 2011 football regular season next weekend as they travel to Newberry, S.C. to take on Newberry College in the season finale for both teams. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Wolves is set for 2 p.m.

"Epstein" from "Welcome Back Kotter" dies
Hearing about the passing of actor Robert Hegyes has me remembering all the nights he made me laugh on "Welcome Back Kotter." The New Jersey actor died of an apparent heart attack at age 60. Remember how he'd have crazy excuses for not finishing his homework? And how he'd forge notes that would be signed "Epstein's Mother"?

Evolution Hoax
The entire list
Adnan Oktar Says...
Kütahya Destan TV, August 5th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Let us strengthen the bond of brotherhood. No matter if one is a rightist or a leftist, an Alevi or a Sunni, we all are brothers. We are all the children of this homeland. Allah might have given each of us a different specialty, that is a creation of Allah. That does not necessitate our being against each other. Let us live in our beautiful homeland with love and in peace and in brotherhood. This is the most beautiful land of the world we have, very beautiful, very fertile soil.
Adana CRT TV, September 30th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Rightist or leftist, ALEVI, KURDISH, LAZ, CIRCASSIAN, SUNNI; NO MATTER WHAT, WE ARE ALL BROTHERS, WE ARE ALL THE SERVANTS OF ALLAH. Allah has shown each of us a way, we will feel respect for everyone's ideas but unity and solidarity is essential. Those who love Allah, those who act in the path of Allah will of course strive for this homeland to be better and to be more beautiful and they will continue these efforts. In the Turkish Islamic Union, Turkey will, insha'Allah, continue successfully in prosperity.
Cem TV, July 20th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: The people of our country, Turkey, are full of love. They take an amazing pleasure from love, friendship and brotherhood. Yet lovelessness prevails in some. I mean some of them are very much open to fighting, open to suspicion, they are in such a mindset that they almost say, "Oh, that serves you right!" We should pull ourselves together instantly. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS, WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. I MEAN THIS IS AN AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, LET US HANG ON TO EACH OTHER WITH TIES OF LOVE, LET US BE CLAMPED TOGETHER WITH TIES OF FRIENDSHIP. IT DOES NOT MATTER; WE MIGHT BE RIGHTISTS, WE MIGHT BE LEFTISTS, ESPECIALLY DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN ALEVIS AND SUNNIS IS A COMPLETE DISGRACE. This hatred and rage that has been created here, whoever is doing that is in err. That is indescribable. That is because we have One Allah, one Book, one Prophet, one Qibla; I mean such discrimination is unbelievable. But even if someone is an atheist, that means Allah has created him like that, and there is a good in that creation; I mean Allah is the One Who guides to the true path, Allah says that He did not lead them to the right path for some people and that He led them to the right path for some others. That is the discretion of Allah. And that person stands up and says honestly that he does not believe. Nothing's wrong about their saying that, that is also in the Qur'an, Allah says that He will create such people, we will draw a lesson from that and try to save that brother of ours. We would see that person as our brother as well. We strive for his goodness. Consequently there is no need for hatred and rage and conflicts. In summation, we need to strengthen our friendship and ties of love towards each other.
Ekin TV, February 16th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: We have silenced those who try to cause dissension by creating discrimination between Alevis and Sunnis. I mean we have silenced them, they have now stopped and cannot speak out anymore from now on. FIRST OF ALL, ALEVIS AND SUNNIS ARE BROTHERS. KURDS AND TURKS ARE BROTHERS. WE HAVE NO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, NO DISCRIMINATION IN RELIGIOUS ORDERS, WE ARE ONE, LIKE BUILDINGS WELDED IN CEMENT, WE WILL, INSHA'ALLAH, FOLLOW THIS RIGHTEOUS CAUSE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TURKISH ISLAMIC UNION UNTIL THE VERY END. That is in destiny, I mean no one can prevent that. The disturbances of those people who attempt to cause dissension have all turned back against them. Allah has turned it against them, no one would be deceived by that plot anymore. They will never be able to disintegrate the Turkish nation, and these developments show us that our people will not be separated. That is a manner of thinking of the past. From now on, we will, insha'Allah, continue to take firm steps ahead. Spoiling such games by being in unity and solidarity is such a distinct pleasure, such a distinct blessing. Alevis and Sunnis are radiant people. Shia are radiant people. Wahhabis are radiant people. Under the leadership of the Turkish nation, under the leadership of good mannered people, the good mannered people of the Islamic World will come together, and we will establish a beautiful Turkish Islamic Union with love and sincerity, insha'Allah.

YOU have poor judgment

All of you are being dumbasses, hardasses to say the least, no im not going to get out and fight a 45 year old redneck who most likely will try pulling a gun on me. The hairline crack is literally a quarter of an inch long and within the glass. Im not going to PMS about that you fvcktards.
The dude heard me coming down the street now that i think back, so he got ready to approach my car. And no - i did not try and hit the guy.
Front plate ticket is 70 bucks and i dont have a bracket, i have the euro style one-piece molding. Repair order for exhaust plus sign-off by inspection is energy and easily $100+ for labor; Im pretty low, no wheel gap whatsoever, just lost a mtech2 splitter hitting a pothole. More incentive for a cop to write me a repair order for suspension if not on top of the other things. Raising my suspension is more time and energy and money for a pointless inspection. Plus no state inspection will sign off on coils as its technically not oem, thus forcing me to put on my stock zhp suspension, which i dont even have anymore.
A cop believing a pissed off exaggerative redneck about me distrubing the nieghborhood with my exhaust = his word over mine which = money out of my pocket. A cop will give two shits about a hairline crack i have no proof was caused by his punch (which it was), all of you are being straight idiots.
Regardless, i myself am curious to see what he will do next, because i know he's expecting me again, and i will be driving past him in the next week or two.

If none of these issues are of real concern, and you obviously don't care to rectify any of it - what the hell was the point of making this thread, other than to show your ignorance?

holy ****
go die in a fire, OP
why the hell did you even bother to make a thread ... and ASK FOR ADVICE? if you're going to act like a little bitch and not listen to anything we have to say?

Nut up or shut up.
I would have called the cops. If it didn't go my way, I would have followed him home, find out where he lives, and break some glass.
Then borrow your friends car (if you have any) to take to your moms until you change cars.

shut the f up about the exhaust
it does not matter if your exhaust makes babies bleed from their ears
the neighbor has no right to punch your car and damage it
and how do you KNOW the cop won't take your word?
forget it
just go around being scared because of your loud exhaust

(Long reply here as authored during my annual 45 minute post Super Bowl dump. And yes feel honored for getting all of this very quality time.)
1. You made the right move in not confronting further, nothing to gain but macho points and if it comes down to your word against it always looks worse for stopping and getting out of your car because you didn't have to. A court will tilt against you every time if there is a fight or worse; stopping and getting out reads like instigation; also, all the heroes on here forget to consider that your MOTHER lives on this street and may have to deal with any fallout. You kick his ass and drive home happy and then he attacks your mom or burns her house down or cuts her brakes... I'll trade my Randy Savage image points for not risking my mom any further every single time. That's actually job no. 1, do what's best for your mother.
2. So, you typically have 24-48 hours dependent upon jurisdiction to file a police report. I would throw on my front plate (just so obvious it could buy you a ticket in the parking lot) and take a bunch of pictures of your damage, and then go file a report. If this guy is as stupid as you make him sound its likely he's got a record and that's in your favor, of course. The cops are not going to come listen to your pipes or measure your coils, in fact if you take good enough pics you don't have to even bring your car (can say you were concerned it was illegal to drive with broken window - only downside is they may ask to see for themselves but you're filing a legal report so good bet it will be taken seriously even if you do not bring the car). Now personally heres where I'd also fudge the story a little bit in my favor both because you can (f him he's a d*ckhead) and to save yourself grief (priority no. 2 after taking care of mom). I'd leave out the noise complaint on his part altogether and say you couldn't understand what he was saying and that he yelled at you for "tearing in and out of here all the time in your BMW." Firstly this eliminates the noise complaint (eliminating the scrutiny and giving you time to swap back to oem until it's all settled, if you care to I wouldn't, they're not going to check, even if you have no exhaust he has no right to attack you and isn't arbiter of what's too loud or what isn't) and second it makes him look like a jealous dbag who is merely hating on a younger guy in a nice car (even more believable and sounds like the actual situation anyway). You of course claim that you never speed there (I mean my mom lives on this street and there are kids everywhere!) and you have no clue otherwise... all you can think is that he didnt like your car or something (truth). Emphasize that you went out of your way to stop for him only he provoked the entire situation by approaching you to the extent you were concerned about hitting him if you moved. Don't be afraid to "gild the lily" and polish up your side of it as this increases the likelihood that they will pursue it at all. Even if you should have stopped and didn't and were actually at fault, he has no right to damage your property. He could have stood in front of your car and begged you for a fair fight, so regardless, he broke it he fixes it. File in the complaint for the full value of a replacement part (most expensive price you can find plus $100) and also list your insurance deductible, but make it clear you want the full amount as claiming the deductible will negatively impact your driving record even if he is at fault. Suppose you get in an accident a year from now and once again it is he said she said. Having this listed will hurt your case so, you'd prefer for it not to be.
Some might question my ethics here for playing up your side of the story a bit but when it comes down to it, even if you pissed on this guy's front lawn he has no right to break your car and he 100% should be paying every cent of it, plus some inconvenience IMHO. Those who said stop and fight might think its weak to drive off without kicking some azz then tattle to the cops but even if beating him now wins you man points it always comes back to haunt you, even if its just worrying about your moms safety, you made the right move (of course if he does threaten your mom consider going to his house and shooting him in the face and then driving to Canada quickly). Another upside to going the legal route is now there is a record of his actions. If he did threaten or even harass your mother, the evidence is already there of a history, and honestly that's the main reason you have to go report it. You can go kick his ass later this week and claim that once again he started it by provoking you the lawful citizen who teied to do the right thing. (lol) Or what if he starts giving your mother grief? This gives you and her all the legal leverage, you attempted to go the correct route from the get go and now there's a legal history of his ongoing harassment, and given the circumstances I don't think this is altogether unlikely either, so do it for your mom too.
3. Now for some fun. Well after all is said and done and he's paid or at the least take an uncomfortable call from the police (and you know his name and address and something about his character, like if he's a raging psychopath and has tons of arrests [perhaps just best to move on] or he's a fat jerk with no life and no leg to stand on [drive him to suicide] or if his brother is chief of police [dont get caught or go too big]) think of a suitable manner of extracting your revenge, a method through which, and a sufficient amount of time down the road, where you will not necessarily be the immediate suspect. Wear gloves regardless of your plan: send him a male stripogram when he has company; put sugar in his car's gas tank in the middle of the night; take a dump in a shoebox and mail it to him with a typed note calling him a c*cksucker; poison his dog or cat; or even firebomb his house while he's at work.
I'd personally adjust the seriousness of my actions based on his response to your police report. If he's sorry and pays and leaves your mom alone, maybe just the shoebox of shite or send him a dozen large pizzas some night. If he puts up a big fight and you end up in small claims and he lies and insults you, take care of his pickup or put an end to poor helpless Spot (probably doing the dog a favor, and before anyone says anything I am a pet lover and if someone hurt mine I'd go the glock+facial route, but his dog is probably useless and mean anyways). If by chance he threatens your mom or sufficiently fd with you, to a great extent, keep an eye out and then when he's out of town burn his house to the ground, being careful not to make it dangerous for first responders or neighbors (hopefully he lives in a standalone sufficiently far away from his neighbors, if not torch his truck instead). You make it safe for everyone by using so much accelerant that it is gone in moments and no firefighter or random hero runs in trying to save anyone who might be there ( and you've of course ascertained upfront that no one in fact is there).
Ok so, some might say that's all weak and sneaky but it's all about self preservation and just desserts. This guy fd with you for no reason (if original story is true) and now he gets the raw end in as deserving a fashion aa deserving and possible. I've never personally burned someone's house down or poisoned their pet or even harmed their vehicle (without them in it, lol) but why f yourself over when really you can just f him and make him miserable. Hurt him but dont hurt you. If you're a Christian or something I guess you can skip the revenge part, I've actually opted for another route, subscribing the guy for free gay porn mags and advertising for random sex on Craigslist etc. use your imagination, this can be long in the planning and very cathartic, especially if you have other stresses in life. Make him hurt, always better if psychologically scarring vs physical. Physical wounds heal after all.
Go to the cops, get your money, make sure your mom never has to deal with ANY BS and then to whatever degree necessary f with his life. Make sure you don't get splattered in the least, even in terms if having to deal with grief from your mom for any of it.
But whatever you do, don't just take it, because you don't have to. I wouldn't (unless my mom knew about the whole thing and asked me not to and then I'd just wait a year or so and begin anonymously harassing him mercilessly, say by publically advertising for NAMBLA under his name and address [using a public computer that can't be traced to you, say at Kinkos using an anonymous untraceable gift card or credit/calling card).
Have fun and get yours.

^You said it best and had the patience to write what I couldn't be bothered to. Lol.
sorry i don't have a fart can and stickers so everyone thinks i'm a tool.
everyone in this thread thinks you're an idiot. calling the cops doesn't make you a girl. it takes care of the situation. going home crying and making a thread about it makes you a girl. you should have handled the situation as it occurred rather than running away and cry.
look dude, for your sake, i hope you're 15. because if you're not, you're a fvcking moron who needs to either get an education and stop making threads about your lack of balls, or get a job working at mcdonalds and stop making threads about your lack of balls.
your choice
i'm not telling you to beat the guy down. that would be really bad for him and you. i'm telling you to handle the situation as it is presented to you. if you ever want to grow up and be a man, you're going to need to learn how to do that.
i hope you can sort through the insults i gave you and actually find some advice in my post.
oh PS: if you think my 328 is so POS i will challenge you to a race. your choice of track as long as it's somewhat local to me. i don't care. $5k on the line. whoever can post the fastest time gets $5k from the other participant. [no r spec tires]
you gonna take that challenge with your fart can and stickers?

Thanks for that hizhinez. someone who uses critical thinking and rationalization technique on this forum. Thankful i dont live in the neighborhood or else things would have escalated at a higher rate. im considering ripping it past him next time i go there but that would be a huge idiotic move for me to instigate like that. Im mainly wondering if he did call me in, and im also wondering to whats going to happen next when i do go back up there. im trying to prevent as much confrontation as i can. Its my fvcking car set to my fvcking liking, and i dont need to deal with spending time and energy into returning it to stock if i dont need to, all because of one lunatic.
the only time the police will bust you for a modification is if they're stopping you for another infraction.

By James McCusker Herald Columnist
Recent strikes by fast food workers are serving up some of most interesting, important and intractable, issues in our economy.
Thus far, the numbers of workers involved have not been huge. On the Kardashian-Weiner Algorithmic Scale the strikes hardly move the needle. The numbers simply aren't there yet — your average surfer riot in California gets a bigger turnout — but that doesn't change one important fact: The issues simply will not go away.
The striking workers in New York want their wages to double. Some of them are currently working at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour and want that raised to $15. The math is a little fuzzy, but in the ballpark, and the general idea is that they want a "living wage" that will allow them to support themselves in today's large American cities, which can be about double the federal minimum.
Math isn't the only fuzzy aspect of these strikes. There is also an identity issue. The strikes are backed by unions, but the workers generally are not union members, which raises some interesting questions about what, if any, labor laws would apply to their actions.
Most of the striking workers appear to be members of "worker centers" but exactly what status a worker center has, legally or economically, remains pretty vague. Their standing under our labor laws is anything but clear. This can be very important when it comes to which activities are protected under the law and which are not.
Generally speaking, the centers operate as advocates rather than representatives, but when they begin to discuss specific wage rate proposals with employers only our legal system and legislatures can determine where the lines and rules are or should be.
Members of Congress have already taken an interest in worker centers, and have asked Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez to clarify the issue. It seems unlikely that he will be able to do so definitively, though. Worker centers are operating for the most part in a world of labor organization that is new territory, unchartered and uncharted by existing labor laws.
Worker centers are a fairly recent development in the labor movement. Twenty years ago there were only five in the United States; today there are close to two hundred.
In their early years, many of the worker centers were organized and sponsored by churches and religious groups to help new immigrants with their entry into the labor force. Immigrants and entry-level labor are still the focus of worker centers but some of them have matured into nation-wide organizations.
Beginning in 2006, the AFL-CIO began to form partnerships and affiliations with worker centers, which clarified the labor union's position on this but left many questions unanswered. The AFL-CIO's recognition and affiliation with worker centers, in fact, led some to believe that worker centers were a sort of stealth union, securing the beach head for organized labor.
Oddly enough, the question of whether or not the worker centers are stealth unions is not as important as it might seem at first. Whatever they are, they are here to stay because they serve a purpose. Portions of our economy, especially in food production and the hospitality industry, have an unhealthy dependence on a large, entry-level wage labor force. The prolonged recession-like jobs picture has aggravated the inadequacies of that wage level to support working men and women, especially in our high-cost cities.
What the unions and the worker centers want for the workers is a "living wage," which has a definition that satisfies no one. This is not surprising; we have been arguing about this since the nineteenth century.
Essentially, though, a living wage is now defined at the low end as a wage that will allow a worker to support himself or herself in the community, including food, housing and transportation to work. At the high end, it is the wage needed to support a family of four; two adults and two children, with all the trimmings.
Living wage advocates find themselves in opposition to those who believe that the free market for labor should determine wages. The truth is that left to their own devices, both sides are destructively wrong and it is left to those in our society who can successfully combine economics, common sense and common decency to make the system work for everyone's benefit.
On the big map of events the recent fast food strikes are barely a speck, but it points to simmering issues of wage disparities and income inequality in our economy that remain unresolved and largely unaddressed. What balance would be best for economic growth and for America; and how could we make it so, without wrecking the economy or undermining our values?

My website has been getting a fair amount of visitors from China.
That spells trouble to me.
How do I block visitors from China and India?
The ip2country websites have lists of IP addresses from all countries. Download their database (or use a look-up tool to log-in) and get those IP address blocks and DENY each block. Unfortunately, you'll find that there are a huge list of blocks (for each) and really should block in the server's conf (or your vhosts.conf) file.
You can use a geo-targeting script.
Using the script, you can choose to redirect China and India visitors to some other sites like Google.
Do I have to pay to do that?
Unfortunately, you'll find that there are a huge list of blocks (for each)
How reliably can I say, "Block everyone coming from China"??
and really should block in the server's conf (or your vhosts.conf) file.
I have a VPS, so how would I do that?
Can you elaborate some more?
I'm not following you.
[quote="DoubleDee,post:4,topic:14326"]Do I have to pay to do that?
Generally, no. To use their FULL and frequently updated database, that would be a yes.
Not. They can easily use a proxy in the US to circumvent showing their own IP. This can quickly become a game and there a lot of experts over there so you can bet on losing the game. It's just not worth the effort, IMHO.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from {list of IP address blocks}
But don't I have a reasonable concern??
Why would anyone in Russia, China, Iran, etc want to visit my site - which is for U.S.-only consumption - unless they have nefarious intent?
What does <directory> do?
What is FollowSymLinks used for?
What is AllowOverride used for?
I don't understand your code above.
The way I have seen it online, you do...
Order Allow,Deny
Deny From_____
Allow From All
It seems like your code doesn't account for Allowing IP's that are not on the Deny list?!
I did a search for "block Chinese traffic" and received several great links:
http://www.countryipblocks.net/country-blocks/select-formats/ will provide the list of IP blocks by country in selectable formats.
http://www.maxmind.com/app/mod_geoip provides an Apache module which you can install for a quick lookup on your server - directions are on the site.
http://www.parkansky.com/china.htm gives the exact code for China, Russia, etc. by blocking IP address ranges.
All these are TOO MUCH for an .htaccess file so be sure to only test there briefly before moving to your Apache2.conf file on the production server.
One clue, though, since you only want US visitors. Reverse the Allow,Deny and list the US IP addresses in the Allow group and it will save you from my being able to view your website (from NZ), too!
Why would your code work okay in the Apache2.conf file but not in a .htaccess file?
Again, I don't understand the difference is the approach.
For now I am okay with most countries, just not China, India, Russia, and a few others plus a few renegade IP's in NZ...
Can we go over this again...
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from {list of IP address blocks}
1.) Am I supposed to replace "<Directory />" with something specific like "Path to Debbie's Web Root"??
2.) If I leave out...
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
...what would happen?
3.) This code...
Order deny,allow
...says, "Perform Deny directives first and then do Allow directives next, right?
4.) If there are no allowable IP's in #3, then isn't that a problem?
I thought we want to say "Deny these IP's and then Allow everything else that is remaining"?
5.) Does just the order of this line matter...
Or does the order of the following lines matter to...
Deny from all
Allow from example.com
Well, I didn't know that. That is why I was asking!
That makes total sense.
Sounds like using .htaccess is evil...
I did look at it.
I have no clue if it is installed on my VPS.
I also asked why you didn't have anything for the Allow directive.
I also asked if the absence of specific Allow would cause an issue.
What file am I looking for again? And where would I find it on my VPS?
Thanks for the help David!!

Breaking Down the Second Basemen for 2010
By Tom Nichols | February 15, 2010 9:17 AM ET
Part 3 of 8 in the Dragons 2010 Positional Preview
Today we look at the second base position.
Hands on deck: Shane Carlson, Yen-Wen Kuo, Henry Rodriguez.
The Dragons got a lot of offensive production out of the second base position in 2009 when Cody Puckett led the team in home runs, runs scored, and doubles while tying for the team lead in runs batted in. Puckett is expected to move to Lynchburg in 2010. Some have predicted that Puckett will eventually move to the outfield where his speed should provide good range.
As early as late-summer of 2009, close observers were predicting that opening day rosters throughout the Reds system in 2010 would feature many more players repeating with their 2009 clubs than have been present in past years. This is primarily because of the high number of injuries last season that forced many more promotions within the season than typically occur, and would result in a logjam when those injured players return to their teams as healthy contributors in 2010. If second baseman Alex Buchholz returns to the same level to play second base at Lynchburg in 2010, would Puckett get pushed back to Dayton? Unlikely, although that scenario might result in an outfielder getting bumped back to Dayton to open a spot for Puckett in Lynchburg.
Shane Carlson
Shane Carlson is one of four players drafted by the Reds in 2008-'09 out of the University of California-Santa Barbara. Carlson's best year at UCSB was 2008, his junior season, when he was selected 2nd Team All-Big West Conference, a strong honor in a conference that has sent at least one team to the College World Series in eight of the last 11 years. He started the 2008 season with an 18-game hitting streak, the longest in the conference all season. He finished at .349 (12th in the conference) with six home runs and 22 extra base hits in 212 at-bats with a slugging percentage of .519. He also struck out just 18 times in those 212 at-bats and drove in 53 runs to rank seventh in the Big West.
But in 2009, Carlson's numbers fell off dramatically. He ended the college season at .256 and was not drafted by the Reds until the 32nd round. Once signed, he was assigned to the Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League. However, shortly thereafter, the rash of injuries in the Reds system left the club without a shortstop at the advanced-A level with Sarasota. Rather than disrupt the outstanding progress that Dayton's Miguel Rojas was making in a breakthrough year at the plate and move him to a higher level, the Reds sent Carlson to Sarasota. He held his own against older and more experienced players, but his offensive numbers were predictably modest at .210 in 124 at-bats. Carlson has played second base in the past. With Mariekson "Didi" Gregorius expected to claim the shortstop position with the Dragons in 2010, Carlson may get a crack at the second sacker spot.
Yen-Wen Kuo
Yen-Wen Kuo would have received the Reds frequent flyer award in 2009 if such an award existed. The native of Taiwan began the season in extended spring training in Sarasota before joining the Dragons in late May. He remained with Dayton until early June before heading to Billings, Montana to join the Mustangs. He flew back to Dayton 17 days later and played one game with the Dragons before flying back to Billings. He stayed with Billings for one month, then flew back to Dayton in late July for seven games. He then flew back to Billings to close out the season. It added up to six cross-country flights for Kuo.
Kuo's ability to play multiple positions made him a valuable commodity in 2009 and led to the string of assignment changes. With the Dragons, he appeared in 15 games including four at second base, four at third base, three at shortstop, and three as a designated hitter. He hit .231 in just 39 at-bats. At Billings, Kuo appeared in 49 games, mostly at second base or third base. He was hitting .302 as late as August 19th before wearing down and finishing at .265. A contact hitter from the left side of the plate with a chop-style swing, Kuo is not a power threat but did connect on 10 doubles and one homer with Billings.
Henry Rodriguez
Henry Rodriguez is a switch-hitting infielder who will also be a candidate for the Dragons third base job. Of the three second base candidates, Rodriguez played at the lowest level in 2009 but enjoyed the best year offensively. With the Reds Gulf Coast League affiliate at the spring training complex in Sarasota, Rodriguez batted .322 in 42 games. Listed at 5'10" and 150 lbs., he connected on just one home run but added 10 doubles in 150 at-bats and was successful on all nine of his stolen base attempts. Rodriguez had a red-hot stretch in mid-season when he collected 13 multi-hit games in 15 days.
Rodriguez enjoyed a tremendous 2009-'10 season in the Venezuelan Winter League, playing against players of various ability levels including some Major Leaguers and many Triple-A talents. He hit .368 in 57 at-bats during the regular season, then batted an even .400 in 75 at-bats in the playoffs to tie for the league lead, serving as his team's starting shortstop. Dragons 2009 shortstop Miguel Rojas played in the same league and hit .284, 11 points higher than he batted in Dayton. Rodriguez will be 20 years old throughout the 2010 season.
There have been some examples of position players jumping from the GCL Reds to the Dragons in recent years, skipping the Billings club. Catcher Kevin Coddington, first baseman Humberto Sosa, and third baseman Frank Pfister all spent most of the 2008 season in the GCL and then opened 2009 with the Dragons, though Sosa and Pfister were later sent back to Billings. Third baseman Juan Francisco and outfielder Denis Phipps made the jump from 2006 to '07.
2009 Dragons Second Basemen
Cody Puckett: Expected to play at Single-A Lynchburg in 2010.
Kevyn Feiner: Expected to play at Single-A Lynchburg in 2010.
Jose Gualdron: Could return to the Dragons in 2010. Will appear in third base preview.

In other words, it was unthinkable for a godparent to a future king to be anything other than a titled member of the aristocracy.
Undoubtedly, the enormous inherited fortunes of the aristocracy facilitated a certain eccentricity.
In the original, [Francis] came from aristocracy and privilege, but the American mythology is coming from nothing.
The British aristocracy is littered with stories of unmitigated spendthrifts who seem bent on self-destruction.
The bottom line is that the ultimate sign of elitism is aristocracy, not meritocracy.
Never was it known that an aristocracy, which was haughty and tyrannical in one century, became easy and mild in the next.
The old Russian boyars were an example of such an aristocracy.
These much-isolated people look upon themselves as Nature's aristocracy.
I suppose you mean to ship your aristocracy to England, Micah?
As for those Egyptians who did not belong to this aristocracy, they had to be content with less expensive arrangements.
1560s, from Middle French aristocracie (Modern French aristocratie), from Late Latin aristocratia, from Greek aristokratia "government or rule of the best," from aristos "best" (originally "most fitting," from PIE *ar-isto-, superlative form of *ar- "to fit together;" see arm (n.1)) + kratos "rule, power" (see -cracy).
At first in a literal sense of "government by those who are the best citizens;" meaning "rule by a privileged class" (best-born or best-favored by fortune) is from 1570s and became paramount 17c. Hence, the meaning "patrician order" (1650s). In early use contrasted with monarchy; after French and American revolutions, with democracy.
A privileged, primarily hereditary ruling class, or a form of government controlled by such an elite.
Note: Traditionally, the disproportionate concentration of wealth, social status, and political influence in the aristocracy has been resented by the middle class and lower class.

If the New Orleans Saints had a theme for Sunday's game with the San Francisco 49ers, a rematch of their wild shootout in the divisional playoffs last January, it would be "less is more."
As in less throwing and more running, which, at first glance, would seem to run counter to the Saints' record-shattering passing game.
By the time they meet again at 3:25 p.m. Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Saints (5-5) will likely be tired of hearing the number 63 — the number of passes Drew Brees let fly in a 36-32 season-ending loss to the 49ers (7-2-1) in Candlestick Park on Jan. 14.
For years, the Saints have known that their chances for success are reduced dramatically when they put the ball in the air at least 40 times.
In fact, they're 19-27 in the regular season when throwing it 40 or more times since Sean Payton and Brees arrived in 2006. On the other hand, they're 48-12 when they throw fewer than 40 passes.
So dropping back too often certainly isn't a recipe for success against an aggressive 49ers defense that ranks second in the NFL in total yards allowed and passing yards through 10 games.
"Throwing it 60 times against these guys is not the ideal scenario," Brees said this week when reminded of that playoff loss. "I think we're quite a different team now than we were then."
Indeed. Even though the Saints ranked sixth in the league in rushing with 132.9 yards per game last season, they were playing without an injured Mark Ingram and then lost Pierre Thomas to a concussion on the opening possession.
For all intents and purposes, the game plan went out the window when the 49ers piled up a 17-0 lead in the first minute of the second period even though the Saints came back with a 24-6 run to take the lead late before falling.
The Saints rushed for 37 yards and a 2.6 average on 14 carries with a long gain of 7 yards. In addition to the 63 passes, Brees was sacked three times and intercepted twice even though he threw for 462 yards and four TDs.
But a recent stretch in which they've won three games in a row and five of their past six, Brees said, has the Saints on the right track even though they only rank 26th in rushing with 94.9 yards a game.
"We've averaged throwing it maybe less than 30 times a game (actually 29), which is quite a bit different from what we did there last year and what we were doing going into that game last year," Brees said.
As a result, they know they'll have to run the ball against the 49ers to keep the pass rush honest, a task that includes keeping outside linebacker Aldon Smith on his heels.
Smith, the reigning NFC Defensive Player of the Week, had 51/2 sacks in last Monday night's 32-7 blowout of the Chicago Bears and now has a league-high 15 for the season.
Last season, Smith recorded 14 sacks, while defensive tackle Justin Smith and linebacker Ahmad Brooks added 71/2 and seven, respectively.
"What's going to be successful against these guys is sustaining drives ... staying on the field and keeping their offense off the field," Brees said. "We want to try to take advantage of every opportunity we get to control the ball, to run the ball, to make plays in the passing game, and to score points when we can.
"Really, execution becomes so vital in a game like this."
That's where the Saints running game comes in.
Last in the league as recently as Nov. 5 when they were averaging 72.6 yards per game, the Saints responded with 140, 148 and 153 yards in their past three games — all wins.
Ingram has rushed for 67 yards in back-to-back games and Chris Ivory has been running angry in averaging 6.3 yards per attempt after getting no touches in the first seven games.
In their past three games, the Saints have thrown the ball 87 times and run it 82 times.
They achieved the ultimate balancing act in last Sunday's 38-17 rout of the Oakland Raiders with 28 passes and 28 runs.
Nineteen of last week's runs came on first down and produced 122 yards, which they would gladly take against the 49ers' sixth-ranked run defense.
"That (balance) has been a big part of it the last three weeks," said Ivory, who has rushed for 157 yards and two TDs. "Any time you have balance, you're going to be good.
"Right now, we've got a good balance with the run and pass. The guys are doing a good job up front, and that's letting us do our job."
Running the football effectively, which would minimize the chances of being hurried and tracked down by the Smiths, is key as far as Brees is concerned.
"It's pretty impressive what they're able to do as a tandem," he said. "You always just have to be conscious that you can't be sitting back there holding the ball.
"That's what they thrive on. That's the way they're built. We certainly don't want that. We want to be as efficient as possible and put ourselves into manageable positions and positions to succeed."

'For many it's not so much what the Sabres paid out, but what they didn't get. Chris Drury and Danny Briere became free agents and got big money from other teams. It doesn't sit well with fans. "They didn't do anything with Briere. They didn't do anything with Drury. So now they got stuck and they're gonna have to pay for it."'

Reviews of this property
Ruffin Massa ist ein toller Gastgeber, sehr freundlich und nett!! Das Appartement lässt keine Wünsche offen, liegt super zentral, alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir hatten einen super schönen Aufenthalt in Nizza bei Ruffin! Wenn wir wieder mal nach Nizza reisen, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder!
The apartment was accurately represented on line. Spacious area, with a nice kitchen. The bed and linens were clean. We loved the location for its proximity to the old city, and the sea. The landlord was friendly and he lives in the building. People should know, it is extremely noisy starting at around 4:00 am every day when the market is setting up right in front of the apartment. There was a strong odor coming from the shower drain. We shared our concern with the owner, and he seemed resolved to correct the problem.
Io e la mia ragazza Abbiamo soggiornato 3 giorni presso questo appartamento, che è molto vicino al mare ed ha uno stile molto moderno che conquista!
si trova lungo una via piena di ristoranti in cui e possibile mangiare!

il proprietario è molto simpatico gentile e disponibile, lo dico per impressione perché non parlando inglese molto bene non sono stato in grado di parlarci, ma la mia ragazza che parla inglese ha confermato la sua simpatia!
consiglio molto questo appartamento. Ne rimarrete sorpresi.
Nous avons passé un sejour très agréable dans cet appartement moderne, lumineux et servi de tout comfort. Situé à un endroit très charmant, proche du boulevard, marché aux fleurs et magasins du Ave J Medecine. Le propriétaire

Boehner: We can't trust Obama on immigration
(NEWSER) – House Republicans won't take up immigration reform after all, because there's "widespread doubt" about whether President Obama can be trusted to enforce anything they pass, John Boehner said today. "The president seems to change the health-care law on a whim," Boehner said, according to the Wall Street Journal. "Now he's running around the country telling everyone he'll keep acting on his own." Boehner suggested that Obama push Senate Democrats to take up House-passed job legislation as a trust-building measure, Politico reports.
