The next day, the Police descend on Billy's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swore at Billy and left. The phone rings at Billy's house: "Hey, Billy Bob! Did the Police come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep." "Merry Christmas, Buddy"

Babe Ruth's baseball-reference page has more bolded than not bolded
Babe Ruth's baseball-reference page has more bolded than not bolded
|Sponsored Links
people that vote are *******s
30 Team Stadium Checklist: 10 to go
1) Yankees 2) Orioles 3) Rays 4) Red Sox 5) Mets 6) Braves 7) Phillies 8) Nationals 9) Marlins 10) Pirates 11) Padres 12) Astros 13) Mariners 14) Twins 15) Cubs 16) White Sox 17) Cardinals 18) Indians 19) Tigers 20) Royals 21) Reds
Consider the voters. Some of them saw baseball back into the 1880's and like many people always believe things were better in the "old days".
The old days to them was Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Cy Young, etc.
The live ball era Ruth ushered in was seen by quite a few as brash, classless, and that HR's were cheap and a gimmick.
The first class in 1936 earned these totals:
Cobb: 98.2%
Honus Wagner 95.1%
Babe Ruth 95.1%
Mathewson 90.7%
W. Johnson 83.6%
That's 2 guys totally dead ball, 2 guys partially live ball, but more dead ball, 1 guy split.
At that time based on what was written and said, Ty Cobb was considered the greatest player of all time.
In terms of rWAR their value was:
IMO Babe is the greatest revolutionary in the game, but he's not the GOAT. Too many too quickly were able to match his batting feats. His pitching feats were in an era when almost every pitch throw was under 90 MPH. Other candidates like Mays, Mantle, Bonds, Williams, Aaron played in tougher time with more better pitchers and hitters (thus blunting their feats by way of comparison to others in their time). No player that was able to get hits with a 48 ounce bat could hope to hit well in the Majors over the past 25 years - diet, training, film study, and better competition wouldn't make the difference. He's a one time/one person wrinkle in time that won't be repeated - that doesn't make him the goat. Just a statistical anomaly due to his place and role in time.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
I don't remember who it was, but I remember one writer saying one time he never votes for the obvious ones the first time on the ballot. His reasoning was nobody was 100% and knew if he didn't vote for them they wouldn't be. It didn't make any sense but some of the reasoning the voters use will never allow someone to even hit 99% probably.
If anyone has a chance to hit 99% I think it will be Greg Maddux. He is an obvious HOF, is never accused of cheating and is going to be eligible when alot of steroid guys are on the ballot that some voters don't want to vote for. I would be surprised if he doesn't hit at least 98.5%.
No one will ever be voted in unanimously because players like Ruth, Cobb, Walter Johnson, Williams, Mays, Aaron, Mantle, etc weren't voted in unanimously. Its stupid
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.

Some people believe nobody deserves to go in first ballot.
He couldn't hit a curveball, but not many pitchers threw them. He greatly struggled with curveballs.
There have been some studies that 're-create' the home runs of Ruth's career. He would likely have been awarded a lot more home runs because of a few factors. If a ball hit the foul pole, it was ruled a ground-rule double. And if a ball hooked around the foul pole, it was a foul ball. One study said he would have had as many as 104 home runs in one year (believable or not). But that same study ignores that he was playing in the polo grounds, which had a joke of a right field.
He was so hot tempered that it was partially the reason he was traded from the Red Sox, and why he was almost traded from the Yankees in 23 after a suspension.
The Red Sox were offered 60,000 and Joe Jackson for Babe Ruth in 1919. The Red Sox preferred the financial offer from the Yankees which came with a loan. Babe wanted out of Boston because he wanted a raise to double his current pay, and Fraze wanted him out because of his attitude. Fraze was convinced Ruth would fail and got as much for him as he could find.
He was too fat.
Someone won't vote for Jeter because of they're jealous off all the hot *** he has bagged over the years.
I Always thought Ty Cobb had the heightest %
The only modern day unanimous candidate is Mariano, and I don't even see him over 92%
PSD's 2011 Diva's Champion
Yep, you have the people who don't think relivers belong in the HOF and vote no for even the best.

Demi Lovato explains what makes her a badass
Listen to Demi Lovato on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Demi Lovato is not impressed by a certain sect of her fellow celebrities.
"When I look at someone who's out there partying excessively or rappers rapping about doing drugs, who people look up to, and think, Oh that's a G; that's a gangster. I think, You're actually being a giant p---y," Lovato says in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan. "Sorry, but those rockers in the '80s were the furthest thing from rock stars. They were so insecure and so lonely that they had to do these things to get them through the day. If you're spending your entire early 20s chasing the next party, what are you running away from?"
The 20-year-old songstress, who's dealt with cutting and eating disorders, drug use, and bipolar disorder, doesn't stop there.
"That's not a badass. What's a badass is when you can sit through your problems and feel emotions when you don't want to have them," says the "Heart Attack" artist. "There have been nights where I've had to sit on my hands, because I want to act out, because I physically can't sit still in the pain I'm dealing with, from looking back and being bullied or other things that happened. And now, as hard as it may be, I will do that. That's what makes me a badass. Being a badass is handling your s--t."
But, she says, surviving was not always easy. She credits her first acting stint back in 1992, on the PBS kids show "Barney & Friends" — famous for its "I Love You" theme song — with helping her along the way.

Seed implants, or high-dose radiation brachytherapy, treat cancer from within specific tumor sites, as opposed to delivery of external radiation therapy. Seed implantation involves placing very tiny plastic catheters near the tumor site, and then delivering a series of radiation treatments through these catheters.
These treatments offer a substantial reduction in overall treatment time, combined with the ability to treat cancers from within specific tumor sites, as opposed to delivery of external radiation therapy.
This technique provides lower toxicity to normal structures and organs and offers proven benefits for certain patients with:
Used to treat prostate cancer, these tiny radioactive pellets called "seeds" are implanted directly into the prostate, where they emit low levels of radiation over a few months, minimizing the dose of radiation to the bladder and rectum. The use of ultrasound guidance ensures accurate seed implantation.

NEW YORK CITY — Top exhibiting companies that customarily support both the Amusement Showcase International and the Amusement and Music Operators Association's International Expo are making stronger, more public demands for the industry's trade associations to merge their annual equipment expositions and conventions into a single event.
In some cases, the demands are linked to plans to sharply reduce space bookings for both coin-op amusement shows. Some exhibitors have threatened to stop supporting both trade shows completely.
"Operators are not buying as much as they once did, and every manufacturer is looking to cut costs," said ASI show chairman Frank Cosentino, who is vice-president of sales and marketing of Namco-America. "The fact that we have too many shows weighs heavily on many people's minds."
Urgent calls for "one show" were triggered by disappointing visitor turnout at this year's ASI in March. But attendance at both shows has steadily dropped over the past decade.
Jack Kelleher, executive vice-president of the Amusement and Music Operators Association, said: "We are somewhat dismayed that some [exhibitors] are considering scaling back or dropping out of the AMOA Expo because they had a poor showing at ASI."

"I think it's obvious to everybody that it's time for consolidation," said Sal Mirando, executive vice-president of Coastal Amusements. "It becomes more obvious every year, and it was apparent last year. We're going to do what's best for Coastal. We just may drop at least one or both shows," in favor of exhibiting solely at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in November, he said. The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions draws about 30,000 visitors to its annual show.
Mirando's remarks carry particular weight because he served as ASI's show chairman for several years.
Similarly, Rick Kirby, president of Betson Enterprises, is calling for change. Kirby previously served as chairman of the American Amusement Machine Association, which owns ASI, a fact that lends extra resonance to his viewpoints.
"This year's ASI had some great equipment," Kirby noted, "but the attendance has been spiraling downward. As a result, all exhibitors are reexamining their show budgets. And this reassessment is happening amid skyrocketing prices for shipping, airfare, hotel rooms and meals, among other costs associated with exhibiting at trade shows."
The Betson president told VT that the industry needs to reinvent itself in terms of how the associations produce trade shows and the manner in which suppliers market their products.
"Multiple national shows may no longer be the best way to reach operators," said Kirby, adding that Betson's local spotlight shows have been successful in attracting operators and generating new machine sales.
Betson is not only the nation's largest equipment distributor, but is also the marketing arm for videogames from Raw Thrills, Play Mechanix and Konami.
In recent years, Innovative Concepts in Entertainment has been among the largest exhibitors at the coin-op trade shows. The amusement machine manufacturer now spends close to $100,000 to staff and exhibit at a single coin-op trade show. This year's ASI was no exception. And because of ASI's low turnout, the company is planning to reduce its exhibit space by 50% at the upcoming AMOA Expo.
"The factories and distributors were there, but the operators were not," said ICE vice-president of sales Joe Coppola, who was describing March's ASI. "Operators prefer to go to their local distributors' shows, avoiding travel."
Exhibitors' threats to withdraw have put new pressure on AMOA and AAMA to step up explorations of a possible show merger – the fourth major time in more than a decade that the groups have discussed combining shows, and perhaps the associations.
The present dialog, involving board members from both associations, has been continuing sporadically for over a year. The associations' executive staff, including AAMA president Mike Rudowicz and AMOA's Kelleher, are not directly involved in the talks.
The eight negotiators have signed nondisclosure agreements that preclude revealing specifics to anyone outside the process. This ban is particularly understood to include trade media, since leaks to the press are believed to have played a role in the failure of similar negotiations in prior years.
Association leaders told VT the issue is being explored and that they are "working hard" to find a satisfactory solution. However, officials expressed divergent views on prospects for success.
Rudowicz believes there will be a positive outcome. "We're closer than ever to merging the shows," he said. "I think there is a great chance of this happening because AMOA and AAMA have a strong will to make this work. The economic environment is forcing the issue; it's something we have to get done. I think there is a good opportunity and a strong possibility [that a combined show] could happen sooner rather than later."
Asked if AMOA is optimistic about prospects for a show merger, AMOA president Lloyd Williamson, Williamson Sugarloaf Inc. (Winona, MN), paused for several seconds before replying: "All I can say is we're working hard and doing the best we can. We've made a lot of progress."
Kelleher added: "We are disappointed and frustrated that we have not made more headway on this."
Disagreement over the best timing for a single show is a key stumbling block in the negotiations. According to Rudowicz, many ASI exhibitors, especially redemption game manufacturers and prize suppliers who serve the FEC market, believe spring is preferable.
Also supporting a spring schedule are leaders of the International Association for the Leisure and Entertainment Industry, majority owners of Fun Expo. After its 10th and final co-location with AMOA Expo this fall, Fun Expo will move to co-locate with ASI next spring, largely to put more months between it and November's IAAPA show.
AMOA leaders do not dispute that FECs may prefer a spring show. But they say jukebox manufacturers and street operators want a fall show, or at least a late summer event. "Our board overwhelmingly supports a fall show," Kelleher told VT.
"Fall is the best time [for street operators] to introduce new equipment," said AMOA first vice-president Russ Mawdsley of Russell Hall (Holyoke, MA). "I get a bigger bang for my investment buck if I install equipment in late September or early October when the crowds start coming in to patronize street locations."
While it's undoubtedly still true that the tavern market is strongest in fall and winter, AMOA has recently muted somewhat its former insistence that most street operators purchase equipment specifically around that time.
"There is no spring or fall buying season," said Williamson. "Now you buy equipment when you need it, such as when you set up a new account. There is no purchasing of machines just so they can be sitting in the warehouse; that is a thing of the past."
Mawdsley agreed with the AMOA president. "The industry is not one cohesive unit. If it were, these issues would be simple. Even among exhibitors, there is a difference of opinion regarding the best show timing."
AMOA also questions whether the visitors who support its annual expo would support a merged spring show. "Quite candidly," said Kelleher, "AMOA has a long track record of successfully delivering street operators – our loyal, core membership base – to the fall show. The fact that many operators have chosen not to attend ASI in the spring doesn't mean the AMOA show will suffer the same fate in the fall."
In addition, some operators have expressed concern that if AMOA dropped its fall show, some entrepreneurial group or individual might fill the vacuum with a replacement event – leaving the industry back where it started: grappling with a two-show schedule.
The prospect of merging AMOA Expo and ASI inevitably raises the question of whether AMOA and AAMA themselves should merge, or if they might be forced to due to reduced finances from a single expo. Sources close to show merger negotiations said this subject is on the table, but is not a focus at present.
Much skepticism about a single association remains within both AMOA and AAMA, but the idea also has important supporters. "Personally, I think unifying associations is an ultimate goal we all should have," said AAMA's Rudowicz.
As a potential role model, Rudowicz pointed to the British Amusement Catering Trades Association (BACTA), which integrates operators, distributors and manufacturers. "We are one industry and if an association merger is done correctly, all sectors can work under one umbrella organization such as BACTA," he said.
"I think combining associations, not just shows, will always be in the background for discussion and will always be a key topic," Rudowicz summed up. "If it makes sense – and I think it makes sense more than ever today – it will get done. As to when, I'm not sure. Our industry is going through a very, very difficult time."

Complications in being pregnant with twins
Hello members,
My friend is expecting twins. The doctor has confirmed that everything is fine and normal but she is afraid because she has seen many cases that gets complicated as time goes by. She is most concerned about the weights of the babies. Her sister also had twins and one baby was very weak and she had to make lots of efforts to keep him fine. The baby kept ill for a long period. Is there anything that can be done with twin pregnancy that helps in maintaining the health of both the babies?

Hi Vinni,
I have a friend who had 5 children under the age of 5. Her first pregnancy was a singleton, and the next two pregnancies were twins... and all children were born within 4 years. Growing and nurturing that many children in a woman's body, within a short period of time, can be very taxing on the body because babies will take nutrients from mum's bones, teeth and other parts of the body, if there aren't enough nutrients available for the babies through mum's diet.
I would like to encourage your sister by saying that even though my friend had two sets of twins, back to back, all four of those babies were a good weight and very healthy. They were born a little early, which is very normal for twins, but the babies came home within 3 days or less of being born.
I would encourage your sister to eat a diet that has high quality protein, like chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, and fish that is not high in mercury content. Eggs and nuts are also high quality protein, but one of my favorite sources of protein are dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, Romain Lettuce, Swiss Chard and the like. Though many people don't recognize that dark green leafy vegetables are high in protein, they actually are and I would encourage your sister to get 2 to 3 heads of dark leafy greens into her diet every day. This will be SO good for the babies. The chlorophyll in the greens will act as gentle detoxification which means that mum will have more energy, less morning sickness, and will most likely experience an easier birth and recovery.
It's really hard to eat 2-3 heads of lettuce a day, especially if you're trying to eat salads. But one of the best ways to get the greens into your body is to add them to smoothies, or, better yet, to juice them. I can easily juice a head of kale, with some apples and a little lemon, and drink that throughout the morning. Then make a couple of smoothies in the afternoon and add greens to that and then have a salad for dinner, and I've got my 2 heads of greens into my body.
If you don't have access to fresh greens, then a good alternative is dehydrated, powdered greens like organic barley grass.
Here are a couple of videos showing you how to make a green smoothie with greens, and another showing you how to make a smoothie with added supplements.

BC Volleyball 2007 Season in Review
Brevard, N.C.
– The Brevard College volleyball team had a great 2007 season in which they set new records and overcame a number of obstacles, as they faced a challenging schedule in completing their transition to NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference.
The Tornados finished their 2007 season with an overall record of 16-15, with two of those victories coming over strong SAC teams.
Brevard entered 2007 with high expectations, as the Tornados were returning most of its roster from a year ago, including senior Marquessa Chappell who missed the 2006 season with a shoulder injury.
After falling in their opening match of the season, Coach Skeffington's squad went on an on eight match winning streak in which the Tornados won 24 of 28 games along the way. BC would go on to win eight more matches on the year, with two of those victories coming over SAC foes Mars Hill and Lenoir-Rhyne.
Sophomore middle hitter Brooke Seaman (Spring Hill, FL) ended the year leading the Tornados in kills with 455, averaging 4.14 kills per game. Senior co-captain Marquessa Chappell (Lake Toxaway, NC) was second on the team with 406 kills for the year.
Junior setter and co-captain Jami Perry (Greer, SC) dished out 1,124 assists for the season, averaging 10.22 assists per game on the season. Perry also led the Tornados with 44 serving aces for the year.
Defensively, senior libero Brittany Holliday (Hendersonville, NC) recorded 559 digs on the season, averaging 5.08 digs per game in controlling the back row for the Tornados. Seaman paced the Tornados with 127 total blocks, while freshman Kirstan Carlson (Columbia, SC) was second on the team with 68 total blocks.
This season was also a season of records, as seniors Brittany Holliday and Marquessa Chappell both etched their names into the Brevard College Volleyball career record book. Early in the season, Holliday became the All-Time Career Leader in Digs at BC, surpassing the previous record of 1,584 digs held by Maegan Bodiford. Holliday's career total of 2,063 digs is now the new record at Brevard College. Not to be outdone Marquessa Chappell became the All-Time Career Leader in Kills this season, as her career total of 1,613 kills surpassed the old record of 1,559 kills set by Sandy Tabor.
While the Tornados will lose four senior starters in Kalli Gibson, Jessica Whitmire, Chappell and Holliday in 2008, Coach Skeffington will look to the experience of her younger players to step up and perform well while also continuing to build on the progress that the Tornados made in 2007.

My First Log
Posted 09 February 2005 - 06:15 PM ( #1 )
Okay, so here's my first log. I'll start with an introduction of my experience with tamagotchis and move onto introducing my pet, Moo.
So, I was really little and had a tamagotchi. The dog one, with a dog house and all. I was little and didn't really understand tamagotchis. Eventually I just bit off one of the buttons. Later the batteries died. Over the years I've tried giga pets and neopets, but nothing was really the same from then on.
For Christmas my friend, let's call her Zoey. So Zoey has one, isn't really that good at caring for it, but it lives. A few month later I bought one at my local toy store and we decided to start at the same time and have opposite genders so we could have generations together. Needless to say, Zoey and I'd pets are teenagers are best friends.
Current Statistics---
Name: Moo
Age: 4 years
Gender: Boy
Weight: 26 lbs
Stage: Adult
Type: Adult
Training: 9/9
Generation: 1
Moo evolved into a Memetchi today! I wasn't expecting that, but I love how the nose inflates and deflates They evolved into an adult at about 1:30 PM EST. Today was a snow day, so Moo got lots of love and attention. In 4 days Zoey and I's pets will be able to have a second generation together
2-8-05 log-----
Moo slept from 9PM to 9AM. I got bored and decided to change the times so I could play with him during class. I felt bad, that day I had busy classes and neglected Moo for up to two hours. He only lost a heart each though, so it wasn't too bad. Today Moo got full training! I'm a proud parent :3 In the beginning of my tamagotchi I had 1 point, maybe 2. I never though discipline would be this easy! So, I had full training, a healthy happy pet, I was great. During the basketball game and on the ride home I neglected Moo, forgetting where he was (coat pocket). Moo left a poo on the screen, and dropped two happy hearts. When I got home I checked him and he was taking a bath! It took me a while to realize, but I was proud of my hygenic teenager :3 So right now I have Moo playing with the ball that 'Zoey's' pet gave her. (actually, Moo should have 6 balls ) I'm off for homework, I'll try and update tomorrow. Pray for a snowday!

Two hour delay. I woke up early, so Moo got his time changed. 'Zoey' called. Her tamagotchi turned into a Maskutchi! On Sunday we'll be able to breed I was playing around this morning and feeding Moo a lot, and their weight turned to 98 pounds Right now he's at 50, I'll get him down to normal soon. I feel bad about that. Some kids at my school play around with him and feed him a lot, so thats why I got a Hanatchi I think. I'm great with the heart needs, but the body needs were messed up by some jerks. :/ Oh well, I love the Hanatchi now <3 The nose is soooo cute! It gets big and small, and the tail wriggles at the same time. It's adorable! No attacks of pollinosis yet.
Posted 13 February 2005 - 04:14 PM ( #3 )
I was outside a lot today, and it being extremely cold, Moo got cold I took him inside and tried to play, but the images were slow at changing so I just warmed him up. He worked once warm though, thank goodness. Needless to say I didn't take him outside again. I forgot to tell you guys... he was given a gift from Zoey's pet. FAKE HAIR! It's hawt <3 It's some sort of toupe and he looks really funny with it on. I wear it all the time. He also got a balloon from Zoey. He sort of deflates himself when he blows on it! So cute. That's all I have time for. I think Moo is almost of age to breed, I'll be starting my 2nd generation by Wednesday
Posted 15 February 2005 - 04:35 PM ( #4 )
I didn't have time to update. But yesterday, Zoey decided that she hated her tamagotchi and let it die. (Well, that's exaggerated. But basically!) So I got an arranged marriage. Moo now has a baby boy with him Unless babies are always black when with parents... PM ME WITH ANY GOOD NAMES! I had a baby pooping all day at school >.< I neglected them for about an hour, and ended up with the baby having a poop, sickness, and several empty hearts. The animations are so messed up with a kid... Anyway. Are Moo and the baby going to part tonight at midnight? Since yesterday was the baby's birth I think so....
Posted 18 February 2005 - 07:20 AM ( #5 )
Yesterday I had a 5 hour basketball tournament. I decided to put the tamagotchi to sleep, not problem. When I got home I must have been super tired because when I changed the time again, it was around 9 AM!! So all night the tamagotchi was being neglected I woke up to a tamagotchi with 4 poos, all empty hearts, and a two-dose sickness. I downloaded and the poos went away. Thank goodness Bob didn't die!
Now Bob is all better.
I have a job shadow thing today, so Bob might me neglected a bit.
I have a feeling I'll be getting a bad character I want to reset, but I don't want to lose my generations.
Posted 21 February 2005 - 07:32 AM ( #6 )
Today I'll be getting Bob a friend I got enough money for another tamagotchi, so I'll be going to K-B toys for one I'd go to Walmart for more of a selection, but I'm afraid they'd be sold out. My dad is one with a short temper, so I don't think he'd like going to three places for a "3 year old game" in their words. >.<
Bob is still sleeping. He's having trouble aging lately... He should be 6 today and he'll be 3 or 4. >_> I think I'm going to wait to activate the new tamagotchi until Bob has a kid. Then they can grow up together as lovers <333
Yesterday Bob was doing the wierdest animation. He was turned around, as if mad, but it looked like he was watching TV! A little icon that looked like a tv was farther away. :3
Posted 27 February 2005 - 01:11 PM ( #7 )
Haven't logged for a while. Each log will now have two parts
Bob's Kid (NACHO!) ---
Now they're a teenager! A hinotmatchi... I'm surprised. I took fine care of the kid. Only slipped... once. And that was when they were with Bob. Nothing interesting today.
Angie ---
Now an adult! A kuchipatchi. I didn't like the picture of those on the internet, but they're actually quite cute! She hasn't had any animations yet, I wonder what they are Both of the present animations are really bad... ;-;
Posted 02 March 2005 - 07:52 PM ( #8 )
He turned into an adult! At five years old, he'd better have! It was during classes, so I didn't get to see him. He turned into a Hanatchi! Even though they're frail characters, they're my favorite! One girl in my class who's absoulutely in love with my tamgotchi, I let her take Nacho home. Since he was now an adult, so his care didn't matter as much, and he wouldn't be ready for breeding. I hope nothing happens to Nacho. Oh, the girl said he was kissing the screen Too bad I missed.
I felt so proud Apple went from a shirobebetchi to a kinakomatchi to a Little Mimitchi I really wanna get a mimitchi this time. I'm trying my hardest. I have a feeling I'll be pausing during part of my day to take the best care of them
Posted 06 March 2005 - 09:08 AM ( #9 )
Nacho's log -
Nothing new with Nacho.
Apple's log -
This morning I got up at 8, and changed the time to 9. Apple evolved into an adult! A mimitchi A few times I lost 2 happy hearts because of connecting, so I though I wouldn't get a mimitchi. I was wrong! The mimitchi is sooo cute! After connecting Nacho and Apple foreeeverr I got Apple a pencil and a bow. Cute! Is that sushi that she's eating?
I can't wait till Apple is of age for breeding! Gonna have babies

By Juergen Kneifel Herald Columnist
There's a new craze that hit the airwaves this past holiday season intended to save jobs and reenergize American manufacturing. Blame it on an unnamed economist whose calculations have concluded that, should each of us buy $64 worth of products "made in America," we will collectively create 200,000 jobs.
Diane Sawyer and ABC joined the bandwagon to promote the concept. Every night on the evening news we learned of various products made in the USA, appropriate for gifting or personal use. There have been a surprising number of companies profiled on the newscast and, what's more, you can find an expansive listing of these businesses on the ABC News website.
Perhaps this idea isn't all that new; it's just a timely reminder that we can become more strategic with our spending.
My father-in-law announced to the family several years ago that he was only interested in giving and receiving gifts that were made in the U.S. Frustrated by the prospect that we're no longer globally competitive in many manufacturing sectors, he insisted we avoid items made in China — or anywhere else for that matter.
That year he gave each family member an envelope with a crisp, uncirculated Franklin ($50) for Christmas. Thankfully, the Treasury still prints those here in the U.S.
Most of us made an honest effort but found the exercise quite taxing. It's hard enough to find just the right gift, and then you find that it has been manufactured elsewhere.
Perhaps this issue requires deeper thought and more critical analysis. On a monthly basis we hear of wild swings in unemployment numbers. The rates for new claims go up; then they go down. But basically the rates have hovered around 8 percent for far too long.
There is no argument that creating and saving jobs is in our best interest. The hard question is which jobs to save and, most importantly, discovering the jobs to be created through entrepreneurial exploits.
There are a fair number of critics — even economists — of this "buy American" push who claim there's nothing American about it. Their contention is that we should buy American only so long as it's the best price and not simply to create or sustain jobs.
Economics tries to take consumer emotion out of the equation and keep things simple. There is a supply and demand curve applied to the manufacture of a particular good that identifies the likely quantity of demand at a particular price point. And the incentive to producers is in the anticipated profit margins gleaned through efficiencies and their manufacturing capacity.
And in the end, the economics will argue that each economy would be better off producing and manufacturing those products for which there is a competitive advantage. These advantages include an abundance of ingredients, such as access to raw materials, labor, technology and transportation.
We're really talking about product differentiation when we promote "made in America" through a campaign meant to create or save jobs. And this is squarely a marketing function. If we can feel better about ourselves because we're helping our fellow citizens by buying certain items, then we can argue for a premium — just as we would for purchase of a product that comes with a better warranty or in one's favorite color.
But how long will this work? Is this truly sustainable in the long run?
David R. Henderson, who is an economist at the Hoover Institution, explained it this way in an interview with John Stossel:
"Almost all economists say it's nonsense. And the reason is: We should buy things where they're cheapest. That frees up more of our resources to buy other things, and other Americans get jobs producing those things," Henderson said.
Since we are competing globally, it makes no economic sense for us to continue manufacturing products that are no longer viable in the global marketplace. Americans need to continue to create jobs based on innovation and new ideas.
"A huge part of the history of mankind is an increase in the division of labor. And that division of labor goes across national boundaries," Henderson said.
Whether you believe spending $64 on products "made in America" will make a difference for job creation, I believe more meaningful jobs will be created in our economy as the result of innovation and entrepreneurial endeavors. I wonder how I'll spend this year's crisp new Franklin.

40 per cent goes to the opponent, 20 per cent to the opponent's nominated charity.
Deduction of a point would be a good way of sorting this out.
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
I think the increase in fine is a great idea, after all if one fighter bothers to make weight and the other doesnt...kinda tough really, like the fact some goes to charity as well. The point deduction is a great shout but would be harder to implement I would imagine.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I know some people like it but I'd just ike to get rid of weight cutting full stop.
Just hate it when you see two fighters in the cage & one looks at least a weight class bigger.
I know its a science & I know no matter what is done fighters will still try to do it but just want to see fighters at their natural weight fighting against people of a similar size.
Getting rid of weight cutting means fighters are at their natural weight & should get rid of weight issues.
As this is never going to happen I'm pleased a company is making the penalty for missing weight much higher & hope others follow suit & maybe bring in stricter rules.
Maybe if a fighter regularly misses weight at a certain weight class is forced to fight at the higher weight?
like that a portion goes to charity now. Great idea.

[QUOTE]I know some people like it but I'd just ike to get rid of weight cutting full stop./QUOTE
I think the tide is turning slowly. There's a wider variety of views on weight cutting , even in the US. More people are starting to question it but most are just putting up with it and think it should go on - because its the status quo.
I don't agree with weight cutting or the social sub-culture that makes it normalised in the fighters mind. There is growing research evidence of the physiological damage it does though. I'm thinking about doing some research on it myself.
It will take generations to change it. It will take a death - a US one on a high profile show - for people who can change it to sit up and take notice rather than passing the responsibility to the fighter. The amount fighter's are starting to cut the further they progress means that's where we might be heading
I think the whole 60% should go to the guy that successfully made weight, if they wanna give it to charity or squander it then its their prerogative, they deserve that compensation after going through hell to make weight, especially when they still go through with the fight knowing they are at a disadvantage.
good on them for seeing a problem and going after a solution straight away. my only concern is that 60% is rather a lot. for the fighter hit by the fine - after a training camp, turning the fight down over money is unlikely. so they would feel like they are getting a shitty deal, especially if they tried their best to cut and suffered in the process. might make for tricky fighter relations.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College basketball teams will host their annual WBCA Pink Zone™ Day, for the Tornados home games on Wednesday, February 16th, against Lincoln Memorial University. The women's game will tipoff at 6 p.m. in Boshamer Gymnasium.
The WBCA Pink Zone™ initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.
All Brevard College basketball players, coaches and support staff will be wearing pink t-shirts, sponsored by the Transylvania Regional Hospital on game day to promote awareness of the disease. All gate proceeds for the Feb. 16 basketball games will be donated to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. Additional donations will also be collected throughout the evening's festivities.
The Brevard College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will be selling Breast Cancer Awareness bracelets and the Transylvania Regional Hospital will have a booth set up in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium to pass out literature concerning breast cancer. The Peer Health Advocacy Team will also have a booth in the lobby and there will be a starting lineup of Breast Cancer survivors announced in conjunction with the BC women's basketball team starters in the pregame ceremonies. Halftime of the men's game will feature a men's pink fashion show to round out the events of the evening.
The WBCA began the WBCA Pink Zone® as an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in communities. The late Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach, served as the catalyst for the initiative after her third reoccurrence of breast cancer in 2006.
In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year a success. In 2008, over 1,200 teams and organizations participated, reaching over 830,000 fans and raising over $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research. The 2009 campaign raised over $1.3 million, reached over 912,000 fans, unified more than 1,600 participating teams and organizations, and saw 56+ schools break attendance records at their event. In 2010, over 1,800 participants came together to surpass $1,045,000 in donations and reached more than 922,000 fans across the nation. Over 22 schools broke attendance records through their participation.
Overall, the WBCA Pink Zone has raised nearly $3.3 Million, has reached almost 2.7 Million fans, and has unified over 4,700 participants in only four years.

Trina hospitalized after passing out in airport
Listen to Trina on iHeartRadio
Trina is on the road to recovery after reportedly fainting in a Florida airport.
According to TMZ.com, shortly after arriving in the Sunshine State Monday, the emcee passed out due to "dehydration and overexertion."
Apparently, an intense travel schedule and an unknown illness contributed to her collapse.
After being taken to a hospital, Trina took to Twitter and Instagram to post a picture of her arm with an IV and hospital bracelets. She thanked her fans for their "concern and prayers," adding that she's "ok" and is looking forward to leaving the hospital.
Thanks for your concern and prayers! I'm ok, just ready to leave this place I hate needles.. 😨💉 http://t.co/pvNKrWEgHn— TRINA (@TRINArockstarr) September 23, 2013

Hi all!
Fairly new author, less than a month since my first approval. Would love to get some feedback on my new and growing portfolio. All the tracks are cinematic in nature with three of them being orchestral. please be gentle!http://audiojungle.net/user/MichalskiMusic/portfolio
I am enjoying the community here greatly and find it an encouragement to continue. I am not really concerned with sales, just making good music.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to comment. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Anyone? I will share my cookies.
I think you are a great composer. It seems you need to get more into the intense trailer cinematic stuff to bring attention here on Audiojungle. Write a couple of items that can bring in the buyers and I'm sure your more of your nice romantic style stuff will sell as well, it is very good. Sometimes it just takes one major hit then all of the items sell more.
Thanks for the kind words, Sophonic. I completely agree with your assessment. My current titles are really more indicative of what I can do, rather than actually aimed at sales. I have a few items in the approval cue that should be better sellers. This is exactly the kind of feedback I need.
Thanks again!
I'd agree with Sphonic that the biggest area you need to focus on is the trailer/promotional style of cue. You've got some really nice sentimental writing in here, but I've found that such a style doesn't typically sell very well (probably because most authors looking for that style of music have hired a composer to do a complete score for a longer project).
Additionally, I like the "Heroic Decision" track, but it would be nice if the horns had less pitch bend/glissando, especially during the solo sections. The percussion in that track works really well, but the horn sticks out as a bit artificial because of those odd glissandi. I'd also work to write a more simple, memorable melody for that kind of track, because it gives the work a nice "hook" for buyers to latch on to. Remember, many shoppers aren't ever going to hear your tracks more than once as they browse through the market, so you've got to get their attention with a nice catchy tune or motif that they'll enjoy and remember—because that's what their audiences will probably want too. "Heroic Decision" tells a good musical story, and I like the interesting harmonic choices you've made, but it rambles because there's no hook to pull the piece together.
You clearly know your way around an orchestra pretty well, and I'm excited and interested to see what you'll upload in the future. You've got a new follower here!
Thanks for your feedback. The odd glissando you mention are actually part of a true legato patch in Vienna Symphonic Strings. They have a slow and a long legato and the slow, at least for your taste, would have been a more appropriate choice, I believe. Also, good catch on the music context, three of these four were written for specific scenes. Very impressive ears!
Thanks for following and I truly appreciate your suggestions!
Nice works!!!

I'm sure we all remember Packard Bell, the first American radio manufacturer that morphed into an ill-fated computer manufacturer in the 1980s.
Despite having the dubious honor of being the brand name radio used by the castaways on Gilligan's Island and the even more dubious honor of being ranked by PC Magazine as producing the worst PCs of all time, the company appears to be surviving outside the U.S., having left our shores almost a decade ago.
Its new parent, Acer, just redesigned and recreated Packard Bell's logo and tagline and has the company producing some very interesting computer products.
The logo's coloring looks like it was taken off a Ferrari, which is probably because the Italian car design group Pininfarina helped design their new notebook range. Acer also seems to want to shift the name's focus to "PB" and the new tagline, "Puredesire."
Their marketing color scheme matches the Ferrari red and they describe their top of the range Easynote TR85 as a "piece of art."
Never mind that Packard Bell once had twice the computer returns as its competitors, these new computers really mold the brand into a lovely, upscale niche. In fact, Packard Bell has really been reinvented overseas as a stylish brand. Interestingly, its parent company also owns Gateway, which will be aimed at the U.S. almost entirely.
Even more interesting is the brand naming of the ancillary products. The notebooks include the Butterfly, while there is also a desktop called the iMedia, a smaller iMax Mini and the iPower gaming PC.
Their strategy appears to be a direct swipe at Apple, not only in terms of design but also in terms of its brand nomenclature.

Educational Guidelines
Congress endorsed, but did not pass into law, an Agreement On Guidelines For Classroom Copying In Not-For-Profit Educational Institutions With Respect To Books And Periodicals. These Guidelines are discussed and outlined in Circular 21: Reproduction of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians from the Copyright Office. The Guidelines provide the minimum standards on educational use of photocopied materials.
The Guidelines do not address all of the principles of fair use and do not take the place of doing a Fair Use analysis. Placing limitations on copying by number of words or by amounts like 10%, do not address whether what is being copied is the "heart" of the work. Also, since they provide the minimum standards, it does not mean that an individual cannot use more than 10% of the work.
That being said many institutions, both K-12 and higher education, have adopted the Copyright Guidelines as a type of safe harbor. The Guidelines are reproduced on the Dowling College website here: http://www.dowling.edu/intranet/forms-downloads/
What has clearly emerged from the Copyright Guidelines is a consensus that photocopying of consumable materials, like workbooks, is not considered fair.

|Do you sell air shocks?
|We are not currently selling any air shocks.
|Are the heavy duty shocks designed for hard use or made as an all around shock?
|Bilstein heavy duty shocks are very suitable for both on and offroad use. They may be stiffer than your OEM shocks, but should give you a better feeling of control and stability.
|What is the main difference between the different settings?
|Comfort setting shocks would be very much like the original shocks for your car. Heavy Duty will be somewhat stiffer and give your car a stiffer and more controlled ride. Sport setting shocks are 30% stiffer than Heavy Duty and are usually used with lowering springs for very hard driving and competition. We recommend Heavy Duty shocks for most applications.
|How do I find the part number for the Bilstein shocks that came with my vehicle?
|The part number should be stamped onto the body of the shock. If a casual inspection doesn't turn it up, I'd give a dealer a call and ask him what the OEM shocks are.

Im searching for an answer and it's been like more months away and i still don't have a solution. I try it on more than 6 forums, so this is kind of my last hope, so all help will be really appreciated.
I am making a one page site. The idea is, that the site contains 4 sub pages. First 2 are black, the last 4th is white and the 3rd is half black and half white. On all this sites the menu should be fixed, so only the content is scrollable.
Picture: http://i.stack.imgur.com/1waDj.jpg
So my problem is, that i want to make a angled split menu. That means, when u come to the 3rd page, the menu will change colors – on white on black background and black on white background.. But i really want the angled split to been seen just like this: http://dabblet.com/gist/3336149 – but this solution doe's not work.
Thank you.
Would that black part be moving?
Why this solution you showed does not work?
I dont know if that's what you want, but check this out http://dabblet.com/gist/3666480 This will work?
BenSheppard – which black part? I only want to move the content – 4 sub pages. The menu should be fixed on all sites.
LuanMuniz – the problem always appears when the content is moving. Because i need to tell the code, where to split. I saw many solutions like yours. I think it's need to be something like that: the content moves horizontal. The menu is fixed, so there needs to be a connection, between that. It's hard to explain. The top menu layer should know, when the half black and half site comes in, so it can change the color, but this change should only be visible on text and it's difficult to code that.. In easy way, the fixed menu always depends on scrollable content. And between them are to many layers..I also found this: http://askthecssguy.com/examples/fixedBackgroundImages/example02.html
it's souch a easy solution, that u don't even want to know. I made this horizontal, but still got some problems. Will see what i can do..

5 months old and not sleeping in her crib
My daughter is 5 months old and is still not in her crib. I have tried to just get her in there for naps, to start, but still no progress. She wakes up after 5-10 minutes and gets so upset, she doesn't want to go back to sleep. She will sleep through the night waking only once to feed when she sleeps with us. Do you have any tips on getting her to sleep alone? I am not a fan of the crying it out method, but I want my bed back!

Hello halleysmommy,
I understand that having a little one in bed can be an inconvenience at times (especially when we want some intimate time with our husbands) but on the other hand, the bonding and security that it gives our children is super important.
We had a family bed with all 5 of our children. All of the children are very bonded to both of us and they have a heart to please their parents. Though I believe that there's a lot of parenting practices that plays a part in bringing up children who want to obey and want to give you their hearts, I also believe that the family bed plays a big part in establishing this during the first few years of life.
Here's an excellent article on co-sleeping and bonding.
So how did we have our intimate time with the family bed? First I transitioned them to take naps in another space. Sometimes this was the floor (on a blanket) sometimes it was in a cot, crib or playpen. But the first transition was during nap time.
Sometimes I would allow them to fall asleep in bed (breastfeeding) and then when they were asleep I would move them onto a blanket on the floor, then hop back in bed with hubby. When I awoke and baby awoke, I would bring baby back into our bed for the rest of the night. This wasn't every night, but it was on occasion and worked well.
There are other ladies on the forum who also practice the family bed and I'm sure they'll have some good ideas for you as well.
Here's another thread where I give a very specific example of how to transition from co-sleeping to independent sleeping.
What are the biggest reasons why you feel it's time to move your 5 month old out of your bed? Does your daughter sleep well in the swing? We'd love to help.
Warm Regards,

Thanks Kate!
I have two big reasons:
1. Worrying that I will sleep too deeply and roll over on her.
2. Not having intimate time with my husband. Which pretty much is nonexistent now. She will sleep in a swing occasionally, but not for long. She sleeps best with us in our bed (whether we are in there with her or not). I guess we could go into another room while she sleeps. I had not thought of that!
Thank you for the article!

Hi halleysmommy,
Did you try going into another room for your intimate time this week? Our husbands really need that special time with us, especially when there's a new baby in the home. Did you try having any special time with your husband this week? If so, how did it go, and what would you change next time? If not, was there something in particular that kept you from trying? (i.e. your period, you were too tired, he wasn't interested, etc.)
It's really important to keep the bond between you and your husband strong, so let me know how it's going and I'll give you some ideas on how to keep that spark alive.
Warm Regards,

Athlete Testimonies:
Nate Robertson
P-E-R-S-E-V-E-R-A-N-C-E. Those twelve letters mean a great deal to baseball star Nate Robertson. The first verses of James remind Robertson that though life brings trials, he can know that the testing of his faith develops perseverance. Looking on the inside lid of his baseball cap, you'll see that word permanently fixed there.
Robertson could use the reminder. He's experienced plenty of strikes in life. Between physical setbacks, including severe elbow problems, and being traded from a team with promise to one on a losing streak, he had to rely on God more than ever.
Robertson acknowledges a time when he gave lip service to the "God first" philosophy. Though he accepted Christ at age 13, baseball was his priority for a long time. Through the trials, he saw that God was stretching and teaching him, waiting for him to surrender. Now, teammate Jason Grilli describes Robertson as "a man who stands for Christ."
There may be hardships ahead for Robertson, but drawing on the words in James, he's prepared. He understands that he must continue to turn to God at all times and live for Him. "I want people to understand why I live...the way I do," he says.

I'm so excited to finally share this video tutorial that I shot with Tiger In a Jar. I feel like it's my little baby! They are a such a talented couple and such a pleasure to work with,. I hope you all do your hair in Rag Curls and Tresse Couronnes (Crown Braids) this weekend!
Thanks Moey and Tiger In a Jar!
Click through for written tutorials.
Tresse Couronne - Crown Braid
Here's what you need:
- Dry shampoo
- Small elastic
- Bobby pins and/or hair pins (that match your hair color)
1. Spray dry shampoo all over your hair to give it grit and texture. Start with a deep side part and take a small "pie" section from the center of the top of your head to your hairline above the arch of one of your eyebrows.
2. Split that "pie" section into three even sections to start your braid. Take the small braid section closest to the top of your head and make it the new middle section by going under the one right next to it. Now take the section closest to your front hairline and put it underneath the one next to it to make it the middle section! Remember that you're always going under, under, under.
3. Now you are going to add hair to it like a French braid. Take another "pie" section starting at the same point at the top of your head and part all the way to your hairline (make sure it's thin!) then add that whole section to the little braid section closest to the top of your head.
4. Take that section which now has more hair in it and keep braiding by going under the one next to it to make it the new middle section. Then take your section closest to your hairline (you won't need to add more hair to it because you already added it to the other side) and go under to make it the new middle section.
5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 consecutively taking "pie" sections all the way around your head until you're right back where you started and then finish off your braid. Secure it with a small elastic and pin away!
*Tips: Using a bit of lotion on your hands as your braiding will help any layers you have blend together.
Rag Curls
Here's what you need
- 5 strips of fabric about 2"x 8" (I tore up an old sheet)
- Salt water spray
- Hair spray
- Blow dryer
1. Split your hair in 5 "pie" sections from the center of the top of your head to your hair line. Two will be all the hair in front of your ears and split all the hair on the back of your head into three.
2. Lightly spray each section with salt water spray and hair spray from roots to ends.
3. Wrap each section around a rag and tie it off. I prefer to wrap them with the rag being horizontal to the hair like in the video. Whichever way you choose, just make sure you do it at around the same level of your head and the same way throughout your whole head.
4. Blow dry each section while lightly holding it so the curls don't fall apart (this should only take about 5 minutes) and then allow them to cool for 1 or 2 minutes.
5. Take the rags down and shake your curls around!
