Editors' Review
+We have to admit that we were skeptical when we first downloaded Elite People Search. We've seen similar programs before, and they typically turn out to be spammy wastes of time. Much to our surprise and delight, however, Elite People Search actually works. It's not perfect, but it does a decent job of quickly locating people without any advertising or other hassles.
The program's interface is plain and straightforward. Users enter the state and then either the city or county they want to search. Next, enter the person you want to search for, including any variations. For example, you can search for John Brown, John L. Brown, John Lewis Brown, and J.L. Brown all at the same time to make the results as inclusive as possible. Then just click search, and the program returns a list with each person's name, address, phone number, and date of birth; the results can be sorted by each of these categories. The program has no Help file--just a brief About with a couple of FAQs--but that's okay; it's easy to figure out. Elite People Search is powered by ZabaSearch, which we weren't previously familiar with, but it seems to be a pretty powerful database. We did notice that some of the results were out of date, and we weren't able to find information on anyone --including ourselves--whom we knew to have only a cell phone and not a home phone number. This is perhaps Elite People Search's biggest drawback; an increasing number of people are ditching their landlines in favor of using their cell phones as their primary phones, so this could limit the program's usefulness. Still, Elite People Search returned surprisingly comprehensive results, and we recommend to anyone who regularly searches for people's contact information.
Elite People Search installs and uninstalls without issues.

Evans clear Hydraulic series features a thin film of oil between two plies of thin film offering maximum durability, a fat, deep and short sound pioneered by early 70's rock and roll. Hydraulics are famously easy to tune, making them a perfect fix for troublesome drums and players with little tuning experience. Evans Level 360 technology is incorporated to extend the level playing surface of the drumhead, 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in: ease of tuning, extended pitch range and optimum quality of sound. Evans Level 360 technology resolves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting the drum shell without using considerable force.

That was my reaction too. The guy's a chauffeur/bodyguard. Probably was thrilled to get a job driving a rich guy around. Whether or not he was conspiring to do anything else has yet to be shown in court. - 6/30/06, 9:30 AM

I don't think Hollywood is going to be casting "Driving Bin Laden" for a while.
Joe, are we talking about AQ or about Hamdan? I'm sure a chauffeur/bodyguard was a vital cog in the AQ organization, but as I said already, how he was a conspirator has yet to be shown in a court of law. Perhaps you and Simon know more than the rest of us, however. - 6/30/06, 9:52 AM

Am I missing something here? The decision doesn't free the prisoner, it doesn't save him from trial -- Congress can pass a law granting the President the authority to create the trials -- and it actually prolongs his detainment and opens the possibility that he'll be detained indefinitely. Just because the decision can be read as a rebuke of the President's creation of military commisions doesn't mean that the actual subject of the issue - Hamdan - gets any advantages out of it; in fact, he appears to royally get the short end of the stick, because trials are now not even on the horizon, and he will have no idea when he gets released. So how exactly is this a victory for this detainee?
- Buddy Larsen said...
America's looking good on the world stage. BDSers can have all the fun they want, but the fact remains that the branches of American government have not only talked the talk, but walked the walk.
This president from the get-go has said that his primary job is to protect the American people. Perhaps he should've all along been more explicit that "protection" begins with keeping the physical body alive.
Bowing to the primacy of law--once that law is decided--is another form of protection, and anyone listening to the administration's commentary will understand that no one knows this better than the president.
But in this case, it has been entirely proper to work from war exigency and let the courts sort out the law.
Casting this as a defeat for the administration is as expected as it is way oversimplified. - 6/30/06, 9:59 AM

Hamdan and the rest of the Gitmo prisoners were captured in the field, in arms against the coalition forces. As guerrillas, irregulars, banditti, terrorists, whatever you want to call them, they were subject to summary execution under traditional laws of war. We chose not to, most likely to try gaining intelligence from them.
I would think Hamdan, as bin Laden's driver, was in a position of trust, given that he would have been privy to conversations in Osama's Benz.
He is just as much a jihadist as any other al Qaeda, and probably more so than most. - 6/30/06, 10:24 AM

The quote is why the West loves Western thought, and why Islamofascists (and before them, the Soviets) think we are weak, easily defeated, and deserve to be destroyed.
1. I very much doubt Hamdan is any less guilty than the getaway driver in a bank robbery. Please, don't think me so stupid as to believe he's a mere cabby.
2. The left still thinks the law and lawyers can somehow save the West, that strictly adhering to our rule of law, even when dealing with people who mean to dismantle it by any means necessary, puts us above it all. In my view, he's no different than the man who murders his parents, and then asks for mercy because he's an orphan.
3. Our lumping of anarchic fascist combatants in with common criminals (trial by jury vs. firing squad) maybe makes us virtuous to the West, but just Useful Idiots to the combatants. It's al Qaeda's version of the West willing to sell the Soviets the rope by which they'd hang us.
4. They'll use our laws to defeat us if necessary. Don't kid yourself that Hamdan or his brothers will now gain respect or awe for those laws merely because they weren't killed. It's just another day to plan. This wasn't a victory for the US, I'm afraid.
5. In a war, I'll stand by the guys with the guns. You can stand by the attorneys with writs, demanding proof the other guy is a combatant, ...if you so desire.

Pogo, I think you are overly optimistic about the allure of Islamofascism. Just as the Soviets crumbled under their own corruption and repression, so too will Islamofascism. When that happens, I prefer that the USA will have remained somewhere that Rule Of Law is something to be proud of, not considered a tool of the enemy.
- Joe said...
MadMan, don't forget the part where the Soviet collapse was helped along - considerably - by their inability to compete with us in the arms race. Mr. Reagan's SDI had much to do with it. The USSR would probably still be with us absent that factor, it did not collapse entirely of its own weight. Just as Jihadism will not die without help.

I think -and fervently hope- you are right. I think I understand the desire to remain as virtuous as possible, and as close to our Western ideals as circumstances permit.
For example, while the US had its share of blame for inhumanity in WW2, our record is preferred, I think (Chomsky objection noted), to that of the Soviets, Japanese, and Nazis.
But I do not believe our success is a foregone conclusion (nor predestined), so I worry very much about foolish consistency, retaining our virtue but losing the war, fighting by Queensbury rules when our adversary has none, and mistaking the Constitution for a suicide pact.
Nevertheless, I hope you are correct. - 6/30/06, 11:15 AM

I worry very much about foolish consistency, retaining our virtue but losing the war, fighting by Queensbury rules when our adversary has none, and mistaking the Constitution for a suicide pact.
Well put; Pogo draws a line where our internal disagreements have to be articulated again and again, as Americans try to define where exactly we believe consistency becomes foolish rather than effective and principled, where virtue is needlessly set by out of fear or where it helps delineate our way of life in our own eyes and to the eyes of the world. I'm with MadisonMan in believing that when Islamofascism dies under its own weight, and our concrete and abstract resistance, we better be standing on the right side of our ideals, but I recognize the value of a dynamic, sometimes confrontational debate on how those ideals are best preserved. In this case, I'm happy to see our court play its role. I'm not as sanguine as Buddy that this administration is always acting in good faith, but I'm open to persuasion, as events unfold. - 6/30/06, 11:30 AM

What makes the quote even better is that it is from Hamdan's Navy lawyer -- Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift. The fact that military-assigned defense lawyer took his charge this seriously is a credit to America as well.

Via Kos:
Guardian finds Afghan witnesses US couldn't
Declan Walsh in Gardez
The US government said it could not find the men that Guantánamo detainee Abdullah Mujahid believes could help set him free. The Guardian found them in three days.
Two years ago the US military invited Mr Mujahid, a former Afghan police commander accused of plotting against the United States, to prove his innocence before a special military tribunal. As was his right, Mr Mujahid called four witnesses from Afghanistan.
But months later the tribunal president returned with bad news: the witnesses could not be found. Mr Mujahid's hopes sank and he was returned to the wire-mesh cell where he remains today.
The Guardian searched for Mr Mujahid's witnesses and found them within three days. One was working for President Hamid Karzai. Another was teaching at a leading American college. The third was living in Kabul. The fourth, it turned out, was dead. Each witness said he had never been approached by the Americans to testify in Mr Mujahid's hearing.
Whether Congress in the end officially authorizes the military tribunals, directs the cases into the U.S. justice system or uses the court-martial template, the kind of shoddy and quarter-hearted attempts to locate witnesses and evidence on display in the Guardian story make a mockery of the ideal of justice. Perhaps while Congressional Republicans are busy coming up with CYA options for the Bush administration, they could also legislate a requirement to supply a vigorous and thorough defense.
Otherwise, like so many things the Bush administration tackles, no matter what the venue or rules decided upon by legislators, it's all only window dressing.
Please don't tell me So it appears that Bush was seeking a way to get these guys their day in court but were thwarted by SCOTUS.
Try not telling me how virtuous we are, or how we are endangering ourselves through foolish consistency.
You could tell me why Conservatards hate and fear our Constitution though. - 6/30/06, 11:51 AM

Freedom isn't free.
"our free and open society, transparent government, civil liberties, free speech, freedom to perform research, science, meritocracy is how we obtained and maintain our position of strength."
Well, not exactly. We maintain it by being ready to defend it. We won our freedom from England by shedding blood. We ended slavery and preserved the Union by means of war. So the nice platitude by JC is empty and meaningless. Our system is strong enough to withstand the temporary sacrifices of a degree of liberty necessary to preserve it. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus; the nation survived. - 6/30/06, 1:12 PM

Re: "In this case, I'm happy to see our court play its role."
As am I. As with political races, it's always nice to see that, even in losing, swords aren't drawn, and the streets aren't stormed. Just the thought, "well, tomorrow then".
The differences I see are, as you seem to say, more about where to draw the line, rather than whether to do so. And saying here rather than there does not define one as unpatriotic, racist, weak, murderous, frightened, or a war criminal.
As for "the awesome good looks of a brute" .... Do tell. Got anyone in mind? - 6/30/06, 1:14 PM

Lonely Victory for U.S. Navy Lawyer -- Convinced that denying his Yemeni client Geneva Convention rights posed a dangerous precedent, the officer bucked military brass. By Carol J. Williams, Times Staff Writer
June 30, 2006
After more than 100 meetings at the remote U.S. naval base in southeastern Cuba, Swift said, he and Hamdan have developed a trusting relationship, and he would gladly represent the Yemeni in any future trial, military or civilian.
Colleagues attributed the high court ruling to what they considered to be Swift's determination to protect the integrity of U.S. jurisprudence against a Pentagon bent on retribution for terrorism attacks on U.S. forces.
"It took exceptional courage. He had to risk himself being alienated from the larger military establishment," said David Scheffer, law professor and director of the Center for International Human Rights at Northwestern University. "He must have known when he took this on that he was risking his career, and sadly he may have done that within the U.S. Navy."
Though Swift's successful challenge of the tribunal's legitimacy will probably open doors in the private sector and academia for the Navy lawyer, Scheffer said, Swift has reportedly been passed over for promotion.
"It was a gutsy move, and he did it with complete dedication and devotion to the cause," Benjamin Sharp of the Washington office of Perkins Coie said of Swift, with whom the Seattle-based law firm collaborated in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld.
Sharp speculated that Swift's military career was probably damaged by his defense of Hamdan, a possibility the naval lawyer also alluded to.
"I love the military. I love my career and I'm proud of it," Swift said, noting he would be eligible for early retirement in nine months and would leave the Navy unless he was promoted. "One thing that has been a great revelation for me is that you may love the military, but it doesn't necessarily love you."
How many of you lawyers would sacrifice your career and pension for your client and your own vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic... that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God. - 6/30/06, 1:47 PM

Sun-tzu : Warfare is the greatest affair of state, the basis of life an death, the Way to survival or extinction.
Sun-tzu takes pre-emptive war for granted, the only limits being the agressors realistic ability to win.
I like this one: "Do not rely on their not attacking, but depend on us having an unassailable position"
And this is nice:
"Thus generals have five dangerous attributes: One committed to dying can be slain. One committed to living can be captured. One angered and hasty can be insulted. One obsessed with being scrupulous and untainted can be shamed. One who loves the people can be troubled.
Now these five dangerous traits are excesses in a general, potential for disaster for employing the army. The army's destruction and the general's death with invariably step from these five, so they must be investigated."
Oh, and special for the news media... "Warfare is the Way of deception. Thus although capable, display incapability to them. When committed to employing your forces, feign inactivity." and "These are teh ways military strategists are victorious. They can not be spoken of in advance."
On spies, Sun-tzu can't imagine the technology of today but is very clear about the absolute necessity of spies. "Thus of all the Three Armies' affairs no relationship is closer than with spies; no rewards are more generous than those given to spies, no affairs are more secret than those pertaining to spies." Getting intelligent spies and good information "is the essence of the military, what the Three Armies rely on to move."
And lest we forget... "If before the mission has begun it has already been exposed, the spy and those he informed should all be put to death."
What point did you want to make about Sun-tzu? - 6/30/06, 3:55 PM
- RogerA said...
Synova--I may be totally off base, but I doubt seriously if our friend Jacques has read Sun-tzu. That was simply a throw-away line.

One flattering quote by an alleged terrorist should not exonerate him.
This is typical of the liberal patronism of terrorists - that they are noble savages, with simple hearts and simple minds, whose hatred of America can be corrected with grace and understanding.
Terrorists aren't stupid. This is a well-placed, self-interested quote. We have over-estimated their humanity for far too long, to disastrous consequences.
While it is in the nature of good men to be generous, this is one instance where our charitability would be tragically mistaken. - 6/30/06, 4:26 PM
- Synova said...
RogerA, I'm sure you're right. Sun-tzu is great, though. "The Art of War" is almost entirely about abstract principles. He wasn't instructing how to fight "this" war, but common principles to fight any war. Because of that most of it makes almost as much sense now, even with the huge technological differences involved.
The most important factor to victory in The Art of War is what I interpret as national will (Sun-tzu places this in the person of the ruler.) So many people today act like the will to prevail is irrelevant so that undermining that will to prevail is without consequence.
(And, argh... I'm looking at all the typos. Why do fingers just type whatever the heck they want to type so that whole words come out different words?) - 6/30/06, 5:56 PM
- Jacques Cuze said...
A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.
Of all those in the army close to the commander none is more intimate than the secret agent; of all rewards none more liberal than those given to secret agents; of all matters none is more confidential than those relating to secret operations
Know thy enemy and know thyself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know thyself but not thy enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not thyself, wallow in defeat every time
The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom
The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
And therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle and are not brought there by him.
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge
The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.
There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare
When the enemy is at ease, be able to weary him; when well fed, to starve him; when at rest, to make him move. Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you.
Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions.
If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. But if his orders ARE clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.
A leader leads by example not by force.
A skilled commander seeks victory from the situation and does not demand it of his subordinates.
To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.
To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape.
Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
Too frequent rewards indicate that the general is at the end of his resources; too frequent punishments that he is in acute distress.
SUN TSU ON BUSH's INCOMPETENCE IN IRAQ
What is essential in war is victory, not prolonged operations
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious
Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
The more you read and learn, the less your adversary will know.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. - 6/30/06, 5:58 PM

Video from C&L: Lt. CMDR. Charles Swift speaks out: LT. CMDR. CHARLES SWIFT, SALIM AHMED HAMDAN'S LAWYER: At stake was the rule of law. The president had staked out a position that was contrary both to international law and to our domestic statutes in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. What the court did was say that even the president has to follow the law. And that if we're going to try people, we're going to do it under the law, not under an ad hoc system.
MATTHEWS: ... Let me ask you, do you believe that people who fight us as terrorists deserve Geneva Convention treatment?
SWIFT: It's not whether they deserve it or not. It's how we conduct ourselves. It has to do where if we say that our opponent can cause us not to follow the rules anymore, then we've lost who we are. We're the good guys. We're the guys who follow the rule and the people we fight are the bad guys and we show that every day when we follow the rules, regardless of what they do. It's what sets us apart. It's what makes us great and in my mind, it's what makes us undefeatable, ultimately. - 6/30/06, 6:06 PM

To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape.
Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
Sun Tsu is not advocating that you leave them untouched and ready able to fight you another day. He is saying don't make them fight to the finish.
If you have captured an army, you don't send them home with no jobs with their guns, and no ability to work in the new Iraq, rather you keep them in their barracks and feed them, pay them, make them rebuild the country and retrain them.
That would be the golden bridge that you want them to escape across.
Speaking about giving amnesty at this point to insurgents that shoot and kill Americans gives insurgents an incentive to shoot and kill Americans and not an incentive to put down their weapons.
When the insurgents and you are in talks, and their is a provisional cease fire, and both sides are taking actions that establish some amount of trust, then maybe you can talk about amnesty for PAST actions, and certainly not amnesty for FUTURE actions.
So Synova, how did the Air Force work out for you? - 6/30/06, 7:23 PM

Damn, if only we had JC in the Pentagon--this li'l ole wawuh would all wapped up by now.
- Synova said...
Disbanding the Iraqi military is one of those things that might actually be a legitimate criticism. It certainly had it's downsides, though the impossibility of going back and trying it the *other* way means that we can't find out if the anticipated problems of leaving the military intact would have been less... or more.
Which is how a person can separate valid criticism from invalid criticism. Valid criticism takes into account that each possible choice has upsides and downsides and that it's a matter of best-guessing the future and chosing one or the other.
The idea that Sun-tzu's advice to leave the enemy with a way of retreat dictates the nature of that retreat in 2003 is just silly.
The Air Force worked very well for me, thank you, though Clinton was paying people to leave so I decided to stay home and have babies. Not that it's relevant to anything whatsoever. It's not as though a Communications Operator would be involved with policy. (I do, however, whole heartedly recommend military service to anyone who qualifies. It's something very different from anything else you will ever do.)
Anyhow, why is it that people of the political persuasion that claims that the "right" are various sorts of elitist have such a compulsion to look to authority? If I'd never served at all it would be no more relevant than if I was an officer in Iraq as I type.
I mean, seriously, jacques, why bring it up?
(Buddy, you're quite right... we should send him to fix stuff... pronto.) - 6/30/06, 9:32 PM
- Buddy Larsen said...
well, synova, he IS quite a fighter--he "believes we should have killed OBL at Tora Bora."
If only the thousands of genius-IQ military academy graduates in our senior command echelons had been able to make contact with JC!
He could've told them that, and then they'd've been able to nail the guy easy.
"Tora Bora" is, after all, only a word with 8 letters in it.
The whole freaking Himalaya Mountain Range, for that matter, ain't all that tough--it has, what, 20-22 letters in it, max?
"Antidisestablishmentarianism" is EVER so much harder.

Shipping Estimates
Order Times for Above Ground Pools
Above ground pools are too large to be shipped through UPS, Federal Express or the USPS. We ship all pool orders out 24-48 hours after you place your order. Transit time can vary depending on your location but generally takes 4-8 business days. When the shipment arrives at your local terminal, the carrier will call you to make an appointment before making the delivery to your home.
Important! An adult must be at the delivery location to receive and sign for an above ground pool and will be required to assist in moving the cartons from the truck at the time of delivery (we recommend at least 2 people to unload cartons from the truck). For your convenience, Liftgate Service can be added for $39 at checkout. With Liftgate Service, the delivery will come on a special truck with a hydraulic lift. The driver will use the lift to place the pallet on the ground curbside. (The truck driver is not responsible in moving your pallet to your desired location).This will make receiving the shipment much easier, especially if only one person is home to receive it.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
GOP De-Escalates Debt Limit Fight
Over the past 36 hours, Republican House members have been provided a blunt assessment of the consequences of breaching the debt limit, and batted around a variety of options that run the gamut from the most extreme form of hostage taking to effective surrender. In Rep. Paul Ryan's words, they've set expectations -- presumably quite low. What they haven't heard yet is an edict from the top that the party must abandon even the pretense of using the debt limit as a source of leverage -- that the "Boehner rule," which requires a dollar in spending cuts for every dollar increase in the debt limit, is really, truly dead. And so the threat continues, however diminished.
The biggest tell of the week didn't come in an official statement from party leaders or a tightly choreographed press event, but in a couple of glancing thoughts from Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) who moseyed over from the main lodge at the Kingsmill resort to the club house -- where organizers confined the press -- to chat with reporters about the state of affairs as of Thursday afternoon.
Fleming started off by cautioning his audience of reporters that House Republicans would be hard-pressed to pass a clean debt limit bill, and so would try to coalesce around a bill that both increases borrowing authority and cuts spending.
"I think the Republicans would have a real problem giving the president a clean debt ceiling, even ... short term," he said. "Maybe some would do it, but I think to get a majority of the majority vote, I think it's impossible."
Fleming was talking about the Hastert rule -- the GOP's principle that legislation shouldn't come to the floor unless the majority of the conference supports it. But five minutes later Fleming gave up the ghost.
"I think that the majority of the majority Hastert rule comes out of a time when we had a Republican president," he acceded. "When you have a Democrat president that's a very hard thing to achieve sometimes -- and not necessarily important."
Got that? It will be very hard for Republicans to pass a Hastert-rule compliant debt limit bill, but who cares because the Hastert rule isn't actually all that big a deal. It would probably be too disruptive to intra-conference politics for the party to simply drop the charade, so the House will pass ... something. It could pair a debt limit increase with a grenade (like a significant spending cut) or a more symbolic measure. The likeliest option at this point is making a debt limit increase contingent upon Senate Democrats passing a budget resolution.
But whatever they do, the Senate will have its say. And if Democrats don't like the contingency, they won't have to swallow it.
"We could pass it [a debt limit bill] from the House to the Senate with what we want, and then the Senate could always revise and send it back and who knows, maybe there'd be enough Democrat votes to get it passed," Fleming said.
House conservatives would thus get no ransom for increasing the debt limit. But if the Hastert rule no longer applies -- and check out what leadership aides are saying about the Hastert rule -- that doesn't really matter. All that matters for the party leaders is that they let the right down gently. That may have been the ultimate purpose of the retreat.
"I have been very pleased, as someone who didn't vote for the Speaker for leader, very impressed with the amount of input the leadership has sought from us," said Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC). "I'm, if nothing else, very satisfied that regardless of how things turn out at the end of the day, that the conservatives had their voice in this."

- Horse Breeding
- - I have no due date. Any ideas?
I have no due date. Any ideas? 1 Attachment(s) This is the mare I rescued a couple of months ago. I think she may be getting close. Last time I had a foal on my property was 10 years ago and she was a mare I bred. I have no clue when this girl was bred but she is huge in the belly, bag is full and firm but not dripping yet. She is very slow to finsh her food the last couple of days and is visibly uncomfortable. Poor girl! Any obvious signs to watch for? |
Your vet should have been able to give a rough due date? Posted via Mobile Device |
Well..join the club..I have 2 with no known due date....do you have any side pics and maybe one of her bag..I can only guess...I'd say not long...she is softening and looks like she is relaxing.......waxing and dripping is no always a for sure sign.......has a vet. checked her out they can usually give a guess. |
This has some good insight in foaling signs. Although mares like to be tricky and completely change and not show signs or have it all happen within hours :D Foaling |
If her bag is really tight and there are no visible creases she is probably very close. This is one of the ways that I determine how close they are. Then again nothing is fool proof especially with a horse. Shalom |
Yes the vet was out two weeks ago and she hadn't bagged up yet so he told me to wait for that and then she would be close. Well she's been bagged up now for about 4 days with no real change other than that and I don't want to call the vet to ask him what he meant by close. Days, weeks? lol Can she get much bigger? Wow! I'll try to get a side pic. |
Wow that foal has claimed her right side. She is getting loose which is really good. Mares are very tricky. Some show by the book, others don't. Does she have any change in moods or eatting habbits? Seem tired? Posted via Mobile Device |
Yes she has changed her eating habits. She is very slow to finish food now where before she couldn't get it down fast enough. She acts very tired and depressed. The slower eating came on about 3 days ago. Taking her a long time to eat. I feel so bad for her, she seems so uncomfortable. And that baby is a little hellion in there! Kicks her hard enough that she nips at her side sometimes. |
LOL, you never can really tell. When I brought home a pregnant Belgian mare, I read everything I could find on here about what signs to look for that she was getting close. She went pretty much against everything I read. She had a full bag and relaxed tail head for nearly a month before she foaled. She never waxed up or dripped milk, she never went off her feed or looked any more uncomfortable than usual. She just suddenly had a baby one morning with no warning at all :lol:. I look forward to watching your mare get closer and I anxiously await pictures of the adorableness that will be her baby. :D |
The rule of thumb - for whatever it is worth, is 6 weeks from the first signs of bagging and 2 weeks from when the bag stays up 24 hours. How many mares follow that exactly? Probably none...but that is the average anyway... |

After the match, L.A. captain Robbie Keane blasted the decision to play in the middle of the afternoon. Advertisement "I would love to know who makes these fucking stupid decisions, to play a fucking game at 3 o'clock in the afternoon," Keane ranted. "Who wants to watch that crap? Do you? I don't want to watch that crap." Here's the audio, via The Sports Bank:"Play the game at 8 o'clock." Keane continued. "Why would you want to play at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the hottest day of the year so far here in Chicago? And you can't blame the Hawks game because they didn't know that was going to happen 'til two days ago. It's absolutely ridiculous. You have to listen to players instead of listening to people who've never kicked a soccer ball in their whole life."

Lesson 4: Creative Thinking
Invest in test prep. Would you invest $2,000 in SAT prep classes for your high school child? Although the cost sounds over the top, some parents are doing just that and see it as a less expensive option, and it is, compared with just one year of college tuition. "My friends in Texas put their daughter in a two-year, $2,000 SAT prep program, because they wanted to position her to get the highest SAT scores," says Angela Redekop. "Sure enough, she got a free ride to college." High SAT scores often translate into scholarship offers and generous financial aid. But black students score lower on the SAT and ACT than any other racial group, including Native Americans. When you consider that higher scores could mean lower college costs, SAT prep courses are a worthy investment.
Look for campuses seeking to diversify their student body. Last year 19-year-old Chad Zimmerman, then a high school senior in Montclair, New Jersey, applied to nine colleges. "Chad managed the whole process," his mother, Karin, recalls. "He chose schools with the aim of majoring in environmental science, and he also wanted to play lacrosse." When acceptance letters started pouring in, Chad ogled team stats while his parents eyed financial aid offers. One school's aid package stood out. Hobart and William Smith College in Geneva, New York, offered the most aid, "Even more than a state college," Karin says. "That's why we chose it."
The Zimmermans feel that Chad's generous aid is a result of Hobart and William Smith Colleges' diversity objectives. Though the campus is only 8% minority, Michael and Karin felt that the right choice for their pocketbook was the right choice for Chad. Such campuses may offer more liberal financial aid to African American students.
Look for more than just loans. Target schools that have eliminated loans from their financial aid packages. Some of the top schools in the country have eliminated loans or taken steps to significantly limit the loans low-income students would need to take out. To lower costs, consider limiting your child's choices to such schools. Go to Project on Student Debt.org for a list.
Choose a state school, even if it's not in your state. Public colleges cost less money, but if your child wants to attend a public school in another state, you'll be charged hefty out-of-state rates. If your child has a good GPA and high SAT scores, or is otherwise an attractive student, try asking the school to waive the out-of-state rates.
Go to an elite school—for two years. Take advantage of the community college option for your child's first two years. After he or she graduates, your student can transfer to a four-year school and graduate with a bachelor's that has the name of the senior college on it. Some community colleges have honors programs and are actively recruiting strong students.
These are just a few of the cost-saving options out there. Others–such as co-op programs, attending college in Canada, and writing essays for scholarships–may also be feasible. College is an investment that's worth every penny, but clearly you don't need to spend all of them.

The Preacher's Wife
Typical feel-good holiday fare, but worth the price of admission if only to hear Houston belt out gospel ballads that will send a chill up your spine. Her phenomenal vocal performances do cause a problem, though. She's so relaxed in front of the mike that it makes her uneasiness in front of the camera painfully obvious. His church facing bankruptcy and his own faith in doubt, Rev. Henry Biggs (Vance) seeks help from above and gets it when an angel, Dudley (Washington), arrives with a bang. Dudley is suave, velvety and downright lovable. He falls for Rev. Biggs's wife, Julia (Houston), who has fallen in the shadow of the reverend's problems. Lewis steals the show as Julia's prying, widowed mother. |

Nexen: Canada's industry minister waiting for official proposal from Chinese company on takeover
CALGARY — Canada's industry minister says there is no deadline for his decision to approve or reject a Chinese state-owned company's multibillion-dollar bid for Calgary-based Nexen Inc.
China National Offshore Oil Company made a US$15.1-billion all-cash offer last month for oil and gas producer Nexen (TSX:NXY). It was a friendly bid, offering shareholders a 60-per-cent premium on their holdings.
The proposed deal promises to maintain Nexen's Calgary base and keep all of its current employees and management.
Nexen has faced numerous challenges over the past few years, including the troubled launch of its Long Lake oilsands project in northern Alberta and recent second-quarter profits that fell nearly 57 per cent thanks to a failed well in the Gulf of Mexico.
The deal faces a review by both Industry Minister Christian Paradis and the federal Competition Bureau.
Paradis said his department is still waiting for a formal proposal from the Chinese company before a review can begin.
"I was told that CNOOC was going to table a proposal soon so that is the state of the matter. After that this will be a reviewable transaction," Paradis told reporters in Calgary.
"I cannot speculate about deadlines. I was told there was going to be a proposal tabled soon so let's see what happens in the future."
Paradis said once the official proposal is received by his department the offer will be scrutinized to make sure there is a "net benefit" for Canada.
"That's the bottom line here. Let's not prejudge any investment. There's a review to be done and according to the law we have to make sure there's a net benefit," Paradis said.
"We showed guidelines in 2009 for state-owned enterprises — this is public, this is transparent so they know exactly how we apply the law."
The Chinese company has made several other investments in Canadian companies over the past seven years, including buying stakes in MEG Energy Inc. and a 60-per cent investment in Northern Cross (Yukon) Ltd.
If the bid by China National Offshore Oil Co. is successful, it would be China's largest-ever overseas acquisition.
Harper's Conservative government has rejected only two foreign takeovers in its six years in office, the most notable being the failed bid by Anglo-Australian mining firm BHP Billiton for Potash Corp. (TSX:POT) in 2010.
In 2008, the Tories blocked the $1.3-billion sale of Vancouver-based MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates' space-technology division to an American company.
The offer has attracted attention south of the border.
A U.S. senator wants his government to hold up the takeover as a means to press China on its trade policy.
Charles Schumer made his argument in a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who chairs the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a body that reviews foreign investments in U.S. companies.
The New York Democrat wrote that he "sincerely" hopes the friendly deal between CNOOC and Nexen goes through and that Chinese companies continue to invest in the United States.
"I urge you not to miss this opportunity — the largest foreign acquisition ever by a Chinese company — to hold China to the commitments it has made to provide a level playing field for U.S. companies seeking to access Chinese markets."
Although Nexen (TSX:NXY) is based in Canada, it has offshore holdings in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and CNOOC said the deal requires approval from regulators in the U.S.

FXStreet (Łódź) - Tensions is Ukraine do not subside at the beginning of the week, with the Ukrainian military reporting that a refugee bus convoy has been struck by a missile. The attack, which took place close to the city of Luhansk, has most probably been carried out by Russian separatists, although their leader denies the accusations.
Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said that nine Ukrainian troops have been killed in clashes with separatists over the last 24 hours. He stressed that Russia amassed 45000 troops on the border with Ukraine.
The talks on the situation in Ukraine held between foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France on Sunday failed to bring an agreement on a ceasefire.
"Our Ukrainian counterparts, unfortunately, continue setting conditions - and rather vague ones at that - including, as they say, the establishment of an impenetrable border," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Nevertheless, he informed that an agreement between Russia, Ukraine and the Red Cross was struck on the issue of the controversial Russian aid convoy to Ukraine.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been invited to hold talks on the Ukraine situation in Kiev on Saturday.

So, I've been loving the Destiny alpha so far, the only issue I'm having is a serious lack of other player characters. Whenever I go to the Tower it's completely empty, not a single soul. Out in the wild is not much different, as I will see maybe one or two people who will appear and disappear randomly, but no more than that.
I know it's an alpha, and things may change later on, but after jumping into someone else's game and seeing the Tower packed with players, I'm really curious as to why it's desolate when I'm playing alone. Is it because of where I live? Do I have some option set to private?

When I first laid eyes on this totally enchanting New South Wales Apple Orchard wedding, I was certain it was an inspiration shoot-the images from Hristina Piltz were so romantic, the location jaw-droppingly gorgeous and the bride + groom sweet as can be. Once I realized this pretty little number was the real deal, my heart skipped a beat. Friends and family DIY-ed almost every detail from the florals to the table runners. And...

Why, hello there pretty wedding photographed ever so beautifully by Elle Jae Weddings. You are looking mighty fine. And so too is each little artistic detail and every DIY infused element that all came together to showcase a wedding locally grown in the Marin Headlands. And you know I can't go a whole post without mentioning that gorgeous succulent infused bouquet crafted by Soulflower Design Studio.

I recently switched to URLJet as my web host. They run Litespeed. From the moment I joined them these vbulletin mods do not work anymore. Please note: the previous web host had Apache. This is what makes me think it must be a server setting. It'll post the thread to my site. But, it will not tweet to twitter or shorten the URL on my bit.ly account. Thanks!
can you specify which vbulletin mods? maybe other people happen to have same experience and know the solution.
I can't post images or links until I get to 5 posts but here are the names. vbulletin to Twitter, live tweets of new threads and vBulletin2Twitter
It might be a missing PHP module or something, you should contact your hosting company to look into the problem.
Would it be possible for you to be a little more specific or shall I just say "it must be a missing PHP module or something." The reason I ask is that my web host is aware of my problem yet have been able to provide me exactly zero guidance in this situation. Thanks.
I think mistwang may be suggesting that the installation of PHP your host is providing may have been compiled without some of the PHP modules your code may need, or may have those modules disabled in the configuration of PHP that you are using. What are the technical requirements for those vbulletin mods? Usually the authors will say something like 'this modification requires MySQL v4+ and PHP v5 or above, with blah blah GD, mailparse, blahblah support'. Find that out, then look into the phpinfo output for your server and see if the PHP installation you are running has the bits you need listed in there.
Thanks. I know I need # cURL library compiled into my php and # JSON support compiled into my php and they said they do.
if there is missing module, you can check error_log, see if log entry like Code: [STDERR] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function xxx() in /home/xxx/xxx.php on line xxxx is there. Then search the undefined function name to determine which php module is missing.
Here are the bottom 15 lines or so from my error_log file on my server. Can you give me a little insight to these errors before I present them to my web host. As I mentioned last night they have provided zero help to rectify this problem. As you can see one of the errors involves twitter.php, a file that I need for this mod. Thank you. [05-May-2010 10:42:15] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '!', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/includes/twitter.php on line 73 [05-May-2010 10:46:40] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/includes/twitter.php on line 73 [06-May-2010 14:31:47] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class TwitterException in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/includes/twitter.php on line 1872 [12-May-2010 11:09:07] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 7 [12-May-2010 19:31:50] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 7 [12-May-2010 21:54:15] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 7 [13-May-2010 10:03:28] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 7 [13-May-2010 21:54:29] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code on line 7
They seem like simple errors in the php code. Nothing to do with your hosting or litespeed. Open up the php scripts (eg twitter.php) in a text editor and see what line 73 looks like. It might be as simple an issue as a file location or path is being referenced in the script that points back to the filesystem structure your old host maintained. Or ask the author of the script for some help in debugging those code errors.
Line 73 simply reads - private $password; I've already spoken to the author of twitter.php and he claims the class works perfectly.
Google those exact PHP error responses - that may provide you with some clues about what is going on in the code. And re-examine the way the mod has been installed very carefully.
Now that I'm allowed to post link and images. Here's the mod in question: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=236278 Here's what I got just before. Mind you my web host does indeed have JSON enabled. These are the errors when I run it with bit.ly URL shortening { "errorCode": 0, "errorMessage": "", "results": { "http://www.talkclassicrock.com/forums/showthread.php?t=600": { "hash": "94JflJ", "shortCNAMEUrl": "http://bit.ly/a0Ctpx", "shortKeywordUrl": "", "shortUrl": "http://bit.ly/a0Ctpx", "userHash": "a0Ctpx" } }, "statusCode": "OK" }Invalid JSON-response on line 196 in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/includes/bitly.php #0 /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/includes/bitly.php(382): Bitly->doCall('shorten', Array) #1 /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273) : eval()'d code(13): Bitly->shorten('http://www.talk...') #2 /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/newthread.php(273): eval() #3 /home/xxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/vbseo.php(1382): require('/home/xxxxxxx/...') #4 {main} Fatal error: Invalid JSON-response on line 196 in [path]/includes/bitly.php in [path]/vb/vb.php on line 287

See that first line which contains /statuses/update.xml What is that? I definetly do not have that file nor the directory "statuses"
I think /statuses/update.xml is on remote server that twitter.php talking to, it requires authentication.
I think you are in the wrong place if you expect all your problems with this 3rd party PHP script to be solved here, especially when it seems pretty clear by now that the issues (eg file includes specified in that script) have nothing to do with Litespeed.
It funny you say that because: - The mod authors claim NO responsibility. Their code is working. - The twitter.php mod claims NO responsibility. His class works fine. Everyone says its the other person's problem yet it doesn't work. This mod stopped working the day I joined URLJet. It must be a server setting. But, they can't find a solution either.

All you'll need is the appropriate Lego bricks (naturally), some screws, your devices' chargers, and a few common tools. The guide actually takes the process a little further than we would, cutting the ends of each device charger and fastening them to a Lego brick that, when connected to the base brick, completes the circuit and starts charging. (The process requires some wire stripping and soldering.) If we were to tackle this one, we'd probably skip all the messy cutting and soldering and just drape the plugs through the bricks rather than make dedicated Lego charger dongles out of them. Still, whichever route you take, the geeky end result is pretty nice.If you want to get really serious about your Lego design, check out previously mentioned Lego Digital Designer to prototype and then buy the necessary parts.

Clancy Waugh Wins The Mobile Bay Intercollegiate
Feb. 18, 2014 Mobile Bay Inter. Results | USA Individual Results By Gary Petit, Wake Forest Athletic Communications (@WakeMGolf) MOBILE, Ala. - Wake Forest freshman Clancy Waugh fired a 4-under 68 on Tuesday to win the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate at 6-under par. The win was the first of Waugh's career. After starting the final round two shots back, the North Palm Beach, Fla., native made up the deficit with two birdies and an eagle on the opening nine. He then played the back with eight pars and a birdie on the par-3 17th to finish with his second 68 of the tournament. Waugh's season-best score of 6-under 210 was two shots better than Auburn's Niclas Carlsson, who was the 36-hole leader. "I enjoyed watching Clancy (Waugh) play this week," said Wake Forest head coach Jerry Haas. "He's a young guy who's been working on staying calm on the course and this week, he was in total control of his game. He managed his game well. For a guy who can really bomb the ball, he was hitting low controlled shots off some tees just to get the ball in the play." "The key point for him today came on his only bogey of the day," Haas continued. "He got a little unlucky with his drive and had to take an unplayable. He then pitched-out and got up-and-down for bogey from 120 yards out. He really limited the damage and then turned around and eagled the next hole. If he hadn't kept it together, he could have made a couple of big numbers and then he finishes a couple of shots back. I'm really proud of the way he played." Waugh is Wake Forest's first individual champion since Lee Bedford won the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate in 2012. He is also just the 11th Demon Deacon freshman to win an event, joining the likes of Arnold Palmer (1949), Curtis Strange (1973), Lanny Wadkins (1969), Billy Andrade (1982), Jay Haas (1973), Jerry Haas (1981), Gary Hallberg (1976), Sean Moore (2004), David Thore (1973) and Bob Byman (1974). "Hopefully this will give him (Waugh) some confidence and show him that he can be something special if he continues to work," Haas added. As a team, the Demon Deacons finished in eighth place in the 15-team field after a final round 292. Wake was 16-over par for the three rounds. Auburn shot back-to-back under-par rounds over the final two rounds to take the team title at 6-under par. Kentucky was second at even-par. Freshman Danny Guise carded a final round 74 and finished in a tie for 26th at 5-over par. Guise posted a 2-under 70 in the second round, his ninth round of the season at par or better. Sophomore Davis Womble had a tough day on Monday, carding rounds of 78-76 but rebounded nicely on Tuesday with an even-par 72. He was 3-over par through 12 holes and went on to make three birdies in the final six holes. Womble finished tied for 51st at 10-over par. Senior Thomas Birdsey and Beau Cutts finished at 12 and 13 over par, respectively. Birdsey carded rounds of 75-73-80 and Cutts posted scores of 77-74-78. At the USA Individual Tournament, played at the Magnolia Grove Falls Course, freshman Woody Woodward finished tied for fourth after rounds of 77-73-72 (+9). Andrew Winters and Cyrus Stewart each finished in a tie for 12th at 14-over par. The Demon Deacons will be off until the week of spring break, which is March 10-14. The team will head west to San Diego to compete in the San Diego Intercollegiate at the San Diego Country Club. The first round is slated for Monday, March 10.

Do you generally put who the gift is from? I am making labels for each gift and am wondering if this is supposed to be anonymous? Thanks!
On our first FE I assumed it was anonymous and was shocked when several gifts were not. I really dislike it because I believe it leads to stress and judgement from certain parties. Our gifts are always anonymous regardless of what other people choose to do.
You can do whatever you want. My DD is working really hard on our FE gifts, so I'm putting her name and the baby's name on ours. We're learning about "sharing" lately. She's turning 4 in June and its been such a positive exercise for her. If I were the only one putting the FE gifts together, I probably would not.
I put our name on our FE gifts. I appreciate it when others do the same. I like to thank the person if I run into them on the ship. On our last cruise I think as a group we decided to put names on the gifts. We were on an excursion with a family from our meet and greet/FE group. It was fun to chat about the cool gifts we had received especially the ones from specific areas people were from.
I don't put our names on them. I think when FEs first started it was "secret Santa" sort of thing, so no names, but now it seems that many people want to do it.
I put our names on ours, and in the few I've participated in I think most of the others did, too. I feel like it gives a little connection to the other people in your group, especially if you've been following your cruise meet board with them. But I've always wanted to know who my secret Santa is when it's over, so... I wouldn't think it was weird if we received anonymous FE gifts either though. Do what feels like the most fun to you.
I put tags on last week, on the Magic. It was truly 50/50%. I don't see a huge difference if you do or don't leave a tag. I didn't check off if we got a gift from everyone or what they left. Everything was genuine and nicely thought of...

Free State | 24 December 2012
Bloemfontein -
Twenty-eight people were injured when two cars and a minibus collided about 50km north of Bloemfontein, paramedics said on Monday.
Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinmann said the accident happened at 11pm on Sunday night.
"One person sustained critical injuries and another two sustained serious injuries. The other twenty-five people were lucky to escape with minor injuries."
Steinmann said the people were transported to hospital for further treatment.
The cause of the accident was unknown and would be investigated, she added. - Sapa

Ivy's 5th birthday is coming up and I'm hoping to create party invites with a photo of her wearing the cool number 5 tee from Bob & Blossom. Aren't those number tees so cute with the bright stripes and bold numbers?! Ivy is so excited to boast a big number five across her front.
Bob & Blossom specialises in cute cotton tees for babies and kids, all-in-one suits for babies, stripy cotton dresses for girls and a vibrant selection of tutus to add a bit of frill and flair! Their new collection is especially cheerful with the sunny yellow stripes and bunting designs.

The chair of the city's planning committee fully expects the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association to appeal higher development fees to the Ontario Municipal Board, but he is still hopeful a negotiated settlement can be reached.
© Provided
Ottawa city councillor Peter Hume.
by Tom Pechloff
"They may have to appeal to protect their rights, but before everyone needs to start retaining consultants, we'll be hopefully able to come to a resolution," Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume told OBJ this week. "We're not far away, but we're far enough away that we're not going to be able to resolve it tomorrow."
Council approved the higher charges on Wednesday, saying they are needed to fund growth in the city for the next 10-17 years. Under the changes, development fees on some houses could rise by more than $5,000.
Builders generally pass on fee hikes to homebuyers, meaning house prices will go likely go up as a result.
The fee hikes were necessary to fund essential projects such as new housing infrastructure and public transit, Mr. Hume said. The two sides disagree on the costs, he said, and since the old bylaw development charges bylaw was expiring, they simply ran out of time to reach a consensus.
Even if the homebuilders do take their case to the OMB – an appeal must be heard by July 21 – Mr. Hume said council is ready to keep working toward a settlement. The city wants to get a deal done before campaigning for the Oct. 27 municipal election begins in earnest in September.
"This is the last big piece of council's priorities … and I know that this council would like to see that all wrapped up before we start into the elections for a new council," he said.
Mr. Hume called the appeal process a "mechanism to continue to discuss the issue."
If a settlement is reached before the appeal process is complete, it would go back to council in the form of a settlement report. Once council approved the deal, all appeals would be dropped.
"It's not necessarily an ideal way to do these types of things, but because of the time frames involved it's the only way to legitimately make sure that we can continue negotiations," Mr. Hume said.

Thread: Florida/GA/Alabama Throwdown!

Florida/GA/Alabama Throwdown!
So, I'm hopefully leaving Florida pretty soon. Do you guys wanna do a second north central florida throwdown? I can find the venue again, it'll have decent area for grapplers, and there will be a small boxing ring, heavy bags, etc. I can personally house a few people at my place if you are coming from afar. We can party at the various UF partying spots afterwards.
Location: Gainesville, Florida
Time: Anytime after April 26th to May 31st.
It'll have to be on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday.
Last time we had to pay 10-20 dollars (I can't remember how much) per person and sign waivers. The more people come, the less it'll cost.
If you know you will attend if you have the time, please post in this reply your exact availabilities. Lets make this happen! This time I hope more advanced members show up. Last time, we had old-school bad news hughs show up.
4/15/2011 11:54pm, #2--
Any Tallahassee bullies around? That would be a better venue for a lot of the GA and AL bullies....
4/16/2011 12:00am, #3--
I will drive out to Tally if there is a venue for that too, and they'd rather do that.
ATL bullies will have an easier time to coming to G-ville I think.
4/16/2011 12:08am, #4--
ATL bullies are pussies that never show up to TDs anyways. And Talahassee is closer to ATL than Gainesville is.
4/16/2011 12:47am, #5--
I vote for anything after May 1st (after spring semester finals) but before summer semester finals in early July. Excluding the weekend of May 27,28 I gotta catch a Pedro Sauer seminar. I'll be in school till mid July but I think I might actually be able to make it. May or June sounds good to me pick a weekend.

--First week of May sounds good to me. I should be out of school by then.
4/16/2011 10:03am, #7--
My work schedule is going to me super erratic, so I can't commit to any particular weekend, but once you guys work it out I'll do my best to drop in.
4/16/2011 1:42pm, #8--
Awesome. Lets wait a few days and see if any more people post up.
I have a few questions
1. If the venue was moved to Orlando, would anyone be more or less motivated to make the trip? Gainesville is a small town. I'd rather not do this but I do want to throw this out. Please be honest!
2. So no one in Tally who can secure us a venue? I think this would preclude some sofla members but lets also throw this one out.
4/16/2011 3:07pm, #9--
I have family in Orlando (In-Laws) so I would probably be MORE likely to make it down if it were in Orlando.
4/17/2011 2:14am, #10--
I have family in Tampa, but changing to Orlando would likely make the event a 2 day trip for me which would make it a little more difficult for me to make but it's still possible.
