Scoot: We must stop the 'Nanny State' mentality!
by Scoot
posted May 1 2014 7:39PM
Who do you blame for America becoming a "nanny state?" The broad definition of "nanny state" is "a government that makes decisions for people that they might otherwise make for themselves, especially regarding private and personal matters."
America is made up of individuals – those individuals make up the government, the judges, the juries and all of the groups that pass, execute and interpret the laws and create entertainment, as well as judge the guilt or innocence of citizens. But individual Americans are quick to blame the government, the judicial system, law enforcement or those who create entertainment for the creation of a "nanny state."
On my radio talk show on WWL, I consistently hear the chorus of voices that blame behavior – from poor eating habits to violence – on anything except individual choice.
Now, a federal jury has taken action against the acceptance and growth of the "nanny state" in America by deciding that an Applebee's restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico did not break any laws when it served a man whose drunken-driving accident killed two young women.
James Ruiz was served alcohol at the Applebee's restaurant in Santa Fe and as he drove home, he crashed and killed a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old girl who were in Santa Fe to support their school's basketball team.
Their girl's family sued and settled civil claims against those they felt were accountable for the deaths and Applebee's was later added to the suit.
I applaud the jury's decision not to hold Applebee's accountable for the tragic deaths of the two young women. The idea of holding bars and restaurants accountable when a customer is served to the point of getting drunk and driving home circumvents the crucial importance of individual accountability.
Any bar, restaurant or server should be aware of customers who are intoxicated and should feel the power and responsibility to stop serving those customers, but since many individuals do not show signs of a high level of intoxication, is it fair to hold any establishment or server responsible for customers?
Of course, people do not always make responsible decisions when they get drunk, but the decision to get drunk in the first place was their personal decision. The growing sense that someone or something else is always to blame for the mistakes of individuals is causing a rapid erosion the personal accountability that is an integral part of a civilized society. And if we are to maintain the freedoms we have in America – we must be held accountable for our individual decisions.
It can be argued that aggressive lawyers after quick bucks contribute to a lawsuit-happy America and the popularity of the "blame game," but individuals must agree to follow a lawyer's lead in a lawsuit. The lawyer can't sue without your involvement.
The precedent has been established that bars, restaurants and servers are legally responsible for the decisions of their customers, but the decision of the federal jury in New Mexico is a step toward reinforcing individual accountability.
If businesses and servers are to be held responsible for our actions that result from a state of intoxication – where does it end? So far, the trend of blaming businesses and servers for the actions of intoxicated customers focuses on the driving after being served alcohol. What if someone got drunk and makes it home and then beats his wife or kids or falls down the stairs – should the business or the server be held responsible for those actions?
As individuals – we have the power to stop the growth of the "nanny state" in America. Our nation is a collection of individuals and we can be no better than the individuals who make up America!

Bryce from belle chasse
This is absolutely ridiculous why are Americans always looking for someone else to blame for our problem! take responsibility of America. Why should a bartender be accountable for your irresponsibility and stupidity for your decision to get into a vehicle drunk
The reason
This was even an issue is because in the past, people would be overserved with no regard. The bar owners were viewing alcoholics purely as a profit center and knowingly overserving them. If they had been PERSONALLY responsible to begin with, the "nanny state" you decry would never have been an issue - but because people are greedy and lack self control, you wind up with incidents like this. On balance, I say hold them liable if the server should have exercised better judgement. Or require breathalyzers to start any car - that might be "nanny state" too but it'd certainly prevent the problem. "Freedom" only works when people are responsible.
Stop 'Nanny State'? OK, no taxes or permits on alcohol sales, correct?
Stop 'Nanny State'? OK, so no taxes or permits on alcohol sales then, correct? If the restaurant or bar isn't responsible, why should they or the alcohol distribute have to pay taxes on alcohol? The restaurant doesn't have to pay any extra taxes or need a special permit on Styrofoam cups or to-go boxes, why the need for an alcohol license or alcohol taxes?
Stop the Nanny State? Well, then stop Obama and the DemWITs.
Obama is dog SH!T ... something you don't want on the bottom of your shoe.
The precedent has been established that bars, restaurants and servers are legally responsible for the decisions of their customers It's not precedent, it's state law in all fifty states. While the standards of evidence differ from state to state. Generally you have to prove the person was visibly very drunk or that the person was served a large amount of alcohol.
The average Democrat cannot tie their own shoes laces without 24/7 government oversight.
pathetic bunch.
Well, good news ... the clown Scooter is not on tonight. LSU Baseball.
The Homosexual Comedy Hour will be back next week.
Guns were allowed. Stop the mis information smear.
Might be uncomfortable for you but people who follow the laws were allowed to carry a weapon INTO the convention.
Scooter needs supervision 24/7.
Guns & alcohol, what could possibly go wrong. Good going, South Carolina!
Right Wing Alarmist Todd Starnes Debunked
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/todd-starnes-gets-definitively-debunked - making up false stories to feed to the False News audience.
Obama is a lying BIOTCH ... shameful.
The primates in New Orleans still worship the lying àsshole Obama.
pathetic bunch of human débris.
Senator Mary Landrieu continues to spread her legs for the liar Obama.
what an evil BIOTCH ..
Hey leftist poster ...
try to get some rest. Staying up all night watching reruns of Obama speeches is not good. An eréction lasting longer than four hours is not healthy.
Obama is a walking load of féces. It is no wonder that the Secret Service carries shovels and wears
As each page of the book is turned, we're finding out slowly that a proud Chicago bathhouse member and racist Community Agitator isn't smart enough to be president without looking like a fool on the world state of politics.
Hey Trollboy
Try getting some new lines - you repeat your BS every day. Try another radio station if Scoot & WWL offend you so much.
Hey, leftist Obama þutt licker ...
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a sténch, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. LOL ...
Shocking ...
AP, TUSCALOOSA, AL—It what can only be described as "shocking" by Alabama head coach Nick Saban 14 members of the 2014 Crimson Tide Football Team are expected to hold a press conference on Thursday to announce that they are straight. The players who have kept their identities secret up to this point expect to present a united front as wholesale criticism is sure to follow. "To have this many players all at one time announce they are straight is a lot for the Alabama football family to have to deal with, but we expect to get through this in time," said a concerned Nick Saban. "Homosexuals are treated better by the sports media so these young men will likely be in for a rough ride for a time."
The liberal troll boy loves BS ... he believes everything Obama says ....
LOL ... such human débris.
Scoot you want government out of some things and you want them
totally controlling other things like forcing people to accept homosexual marriage. America is already a fascist state. The thought police are running it.
A word to the ignorant and those worried about Scoot.
Scoot loves all this banter and having it appear that folks don't like him. It helps build up his show as bigger and more relevant than it actually is. Relax. Scoot needs the attention and apparently some of you are desperate to feel important by coming to his defense. Enjoy!
People's various politics aside ...
Rush Limbaugh's success saved AM Radio and punks like Scoot who love to live under the delusion that they are smarter and more successful than Rush and trash him, have benefited greatly from his pioneering success.
Rush Limbaugh
May have "saved" AM radio but his clones repeating talking points are killing it. Get back to me when you compare the ratings of Rush's station to WWL. Check out LA, New York, other major markets. Limbaugh's audience is smaller by the day. People are sick of it and he's gotten more angry when he used to be funny. Windbag preach to the choir radio isn't what it used to be. Thankfully there's the Garland, Tommy, Scoot and Angelas of the world that at least offer some balance and diversity of thought. How about that top rated Fox News! Check out how many people REALLY watch. It's not as impressive as you'd be told by the right it is.
Knew the liberal troll would SH!T on himself over Rush ... LOL ...
Too funny.
.... and Scooter boy and Wayne the troll biy belive Obama ..
DemWits are getting more STUPID every day. LOL
WWl survives on covering the Saints, LSU and hurricanes. The rest is cràp and a time filler.
of course their is the fact that New Orleans is an Obama Zombie Zone full of ignorant dependents ... lol.
Sounds like Scoot should probably stick to promoting homosexual marriage,
local bands, and calling everyone that does not respect Obama a racist.
Typical example of the left-nut press mistreating people ...
The rage and hatred by Democrats is amazing to watch ... http://www.wnd.com/2014/05/republican-calls-out-reporter-gets-booted-from-meeting/
Obama has a pattern of picking fights and trashing his opponents and then
when he gets his hands slapped and his opponents respond, he hides behind race and cries racism ... there is nothing to respect about the clown Obama.
The Rutgers Administration is obvious racist with their treatment of Condi RIce ..
Will the NBA ban them as well? Will Scoot soil himself in a rage? Not likely. Racism is allowed if the black person is not a Democrat.
She is hated by most blacks because most blacks are incredibly racist, and believe Rice acts 'too white'. Even having an education can get you shunned in black culture where violent morons are revered, and intelligent free thinkers are reviled.
Their loss. She's brilliant. A real renaissance woman. Someone to aspire to. The perfect mentor.
The reality is that the election of Obama did more to reveal the racism of blacks.
Obama has done nothing to discourage black racism. He uses it.
American companies: Do NOT hire a Rutgers graduates.
... they are racist. Follow the lead of the NBA and ban them from the workforce.
As a Vietnam Veteran I am outraged and frankly inspired to join forces with my fellow brothers and sisters in identifying these Maoist professors of the left and enjoining them in the battle for freedom. These are the cowards that have successfully conspired to ideologically indoctrinate our young. They have a price to pay for this treachery. We veterans are prepared to fight this evil. Through exposure we will engage in this battle and if need be once again fight with all of our honor against this anti-American tyranny. These professors and administrators have crossed the line and they will pay a heavy price for there violence. They portray a sense of strength but they are cowards and we're going to teach them a lesson they will never forget. We remember how we were spit on by this evil philosophy. We seek our information and education as provided by organizations of liberty such as F.I.R.E. (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education)> Political Correctness is a virulent cancer that we have to eradicate and that eradication will come through exposing this poison. You on the left have crossed the line. We will crush and destroy your phony Commander in Chief who has the blood of our brothers on his hands. We understand what you have done from oppressing free speech and siding with our enemies. You have been part of the rekindling of the ovens of Auschwitz in Canada, Oregon, Great Britain and soon to be revealed in many parts of the world. You have done this in the name of choice and green energy but your genocide is not a choice it is an abhorrent violation of the Nuremberg principles. So keep up your childish name calling in believing your are protected by some perversion of the constitution but your crimes will be shown as those who understand and share the values of freedom stand firm and in your face.
Not pooping myself over Rush. Conservatives admire the free market. The free market measure of radio is ratings - in many markets, Rush's ratings suck. He's not doing as well as he used to. Reality and capitalism my friend. FACTS matter.
College Kids Beat Rush in Ratings
Three months later, Limbaugh's KEIB is a ratings disaster, coming in 37th place in the second largest radio market in America with a .5 rating share in March, the most recent month available, according to Nielsen ratings. (A ratings share represents the percent of those listening to radio in the market who are dialed into a particular station.) How small is KEIB's audience? So small that eleven non-English radio stations have larger audiences in Los Angeles. And so small that KEIB actually trails four college-run, non-commercial stations in the market.
Way to go Bammy.
Your hatred and abuse of those who disagree with you and your failed policies have divided the country as never before, but I might add most that it does seem more and more that folks can unite around the fact that you are a disgrace and a failure.
Rush Was Wrong for KFI
As for KFI, the station Limbaugh left and which switched to an all-local news and talk format, its ratings remain healthy in the talker's absence. A top ten station, KFI boasts an audience six times larger than KEIB's.
New York's State of Mind isn't Right Wing
The big-city woes aren't confined to the West Coast. In New York, the nation's largest radio market and where Rush once reigned supreme, the talker recently exited his longtime AM home, WABC, and moved to Clear Channel's WOR. With Limbaugh as the main draw, the station now ranks 22nd in the market and trails four non-English stations as well as a commercial-free classical music outlet.
How come the GOP never had this much interest in the embassy attacks under Bush? 1. Jan. 22, 2002 U.S. Consulate attacked in Calcutta, India 2. June 14, 2002 Car bomb U.S. Consulate Karachi, Pakistan 3. Oct. 12, 2002 Bombing Bali 4. Feb. 28, 2003 Second attack on U.S. Consulate Karachi, Pakistan 5, July 30, 2004 Gunmen attacked U.S. Consulate Tashkent, Uzbekistan 6. Dec. 6, 2004 Gunmen attacked U.S. Consulate Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 7. March 2, 2006 Third attack U.S. Consulate Karachi, Pakistan 8. Sept. 12, 2006 Gunmen attack U.S.Consulate Damascus, Syria 9. July 9, 2008 Gunmen attack U.S. Consulate Istanbul, Turkey 10. Sept. 17, 2008 Gunmen attack U.S. Embasy Sana'a Yemen
Sorry Condi; if you're not a plantation democrat you need not apply!
Gotta love the tolerant left.
Nice Factual Rebuttal
From our resident right wing troll. You're intellectually stimulating!
It is respectable discourse for Democrats to call someone like Sarah Palin a WH0RE or
Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom. No commentator loses his job over that. They are rather celebrated. So of course Democrats are mocked, insulted back, and generally laughed at and made fun of by the sane. The left has no credibility so they should be mocked. ENJOY!
Hatred & Abuse
I think President Obama has gotten plenty of hatred and abuse for the right including violent threats, racist language, and allegations that were false, comments about his looks and race and the same directed to his wife and children. So stop acting likeit goes one way, or he started it. Mitch McConnell wanted to make him a one-termer the night he was sworn in. Not exactly given much of a chance there to promote "tolerance."
Students are missing a great opportunity to hear an extremely accomplished woman speak about their opportunities going forward, they could have learned a great deal. It is more an honor for them to hear her.. It is a burden for her to share it. I am surprised that students didn't realize this.
Agree about Rice
It is sad that so many young blacks would rather listen to and follow the message of rappers who use the N word and talk of wh@res rather than here a message of true inspiration and hope that they can make something great out of their lives.
Rutgers typcial
Great work, university used to be the place to be exposed to different ideas and concepts and develop critical thinking - now only political correctness (Progressive thought) rules. Learn well our indoctrination!
Not much left.
America's left is nothing but fascists and racists. And here all along I thought it was all about diversity and inclusion unless of course you're a black female conservative.
Obama has done more to diminish the prestige of his office than any modern president.
A total lack of respect for him and the US Presidency is to be expected here and aboard. Perhaps the next person can restore some credibility and respect to the office.
Was complacent in Bush & Cheney's illegal war for profit. This does not make her a hero. It makes her a corrupt government official who's just as bad as all the stuff being said about Obama and Hillary. Knock off the double standard just because you agreed with invading the Middle East and want to blame someone for 4 people at an embassy. H Y P O C R I T E.
Hillary will inspire 8 years of respect for the presidency beginning in 2016 - I'm READY FOR HILLARY!
If you go to a far right college like PCC, Bob Jones or Liberty University, you aren't exposed to anything but the right wing version of PC - their version of history and conservative thought - can't even form a College Democrats chapter - how is that any LESS censorship and PC than anything that goes on at a "liberal" school? They censor progressive and liberal ideas.
Role Models
You complain about rappers and morals but Beyonce & Jay Z are famous, wealthy from their own talents, and happily married with a child and yet people on the right will bash Jay Z over what he did as an impressionable kid without a dad and not respecthis success or the success of Barack Obama as a role model for the black young people. Again, you're a bunch of hypocrites who can't see anything in nuance. Just bash bash bash.
Mrs Hathaway
Scoot a Hollywood film production is in town for the Beverly Hillbillies. They are trying to reach you to play Mrs Hathaway who is Mr moonies secretary. Great news for you!
They're seeking guards at the local toll bridge - good looks not required. Great news for you, you can move out of your parents basement!
True talent is not shaking your booty and dancing around in scantily clad outfits.
Well, by the same standards the left-nut media and Scoot apply to conservatives
it is correct to say Rutgers is a racist institution. Their administrators should be banned for life from attending NBA games.
Scoot should LOSE HIS JOB for his private thoughts that offend people.
He advocates this so he should suffer his fate.
The NBA
Is a private organization of businessmen who can fire Sterling if they want, just like any radio station can fire an air talent, it's the FREE MARKET. Conservatives preach free market but they don't believe in it because they think people should be protected from the consequences of their speech as long as they're speaking out counter to a liberal cause or idea, apparently. But they're more than ready to advocate for a liberal talent or host to be fired for every mistake made in the heat of the moment (see Keith Olbermann, Martin Bashir, Alec Baldwin..) The double standards of the right continue.
Trollboy is named Bruce Patterson
Next time, don't post under your real name on Scoot's Facebook page and then post the same thing here, BRUCE PATTERSON is a troll OUTED. 5/02 - 10:26 AM on Facebook Bruce Patterson: Guns were allowed at the NRA convention . Fact Check next time Check the NRA website and read at the bottom that if you were legal, it was OK to carry. 5/02 - 10:20 AM on this blog - Might be uncomfortable for you but people who follow the laws were allowed to carry a weapon INTO the convention.
As support for Obama continues to diminish more and more Americans are
now officially classified as racist. Perhaps in time only Obama and Eric Holder will be the only two not considered racist. Seems almost everyone today is a racist.
Well, actually Eric Holder and Bam Obama are two of the worst racist the
country has ever seen.
Racist Democrats ... great collection of Democrat HATE speech ....
Spike Lee works to commentate on NBA games ... was he banned for his many racist quotes???
(On Clarence Thomas) "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom." -- Spike Lee
(I) "will not let the white boys win in this election." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's C
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent." -Senato
Rogers ...
"Is you their blàck-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitéy's cars?" -- Left-wing radio host Neil Rogers
Mike Wallace, CBS News.
Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News.
Bruce Patterson
Is lucky WWL doesn't exercise their 1st Amendment rights to ban his racism and falsehood-out of context remarks from their website. If Bruce Patterson said the same stuff on Facebook about blacks, Mary Landrieu, etc, he'd probably be banned. So it's a good thing Bruce Patterson is tolerated by WWL or he might use his pent up anger to do something stupid with a gun.
Much like abortion the Democrats love racism. They have orgasms over it
and work to keep it alive.
Democrats think blacks are too STUPID to aquire proper ID and provide
a living for themselves.
According to Democrats there is a racist behind every failed Obama policy.
Now that is a lot of racists. LOL
Things Republicans Love
Handouts to corporations. Cuts to social programs without regard for who actually uses them. High rolling campaign spending. Racist code words and anger in talk radio. "grass roots" groups funded by oil industry money. Lack of environmental protections. The death penalty. Inequality. Theocracy.
50 Obamacare Repeals
Attempted in the Congress - no successful jobs bills, infrastructure investment, or improvements to healthcare and national interests. What's behind all the failed policy and time wasting, GOP?
Voter ID
Tell an elderly woman who doesn't drive and can't find her birth certificate that she can't vote. Solve that problem and we'll talk. It's not about being "too stupid" to get the ID, it's situations where people would struggle with the proof to get the ID even though they're legal citizens. It's funny small government Republicans want to enact a law that to provide the IDs would cost the states even more money - but then, we've established that Republicans are hypocrites.
Will McAvoy on Voter ID - true story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxK8h0mp0ZI - Dorothy Cooper is a real person, they took this story from an actual event.
Voter ID 2
If you need to have an ID to vote and must pay the state for the privilege to have this ID, and you are not allowed to vote otherwise... couldn't that be considered a poll tax which is illegal according to the 24th amendment? It's illegal to have to pay for the right to vote. If you demand an ID for voting, you cannot constitutionally charge for it. many of the states in the deep south doing this don't care too much for our constitution.
It is comforting to know that the Democrats are making sure þutt sex,
STDs, and abortion flourish, the WH0RE Sandra Fluke has free condoms, food stamps fall like rain and anyone opposed to any of that gets labeled as a racist ... LOL ... got to love those DemWITS ...
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." — Obama 2008
Bammy has encouraged and fostered more hate than any modern president. He is the champion of division and strife. It took most of the rest of a while to catch up but we are getting on board with the president. Insult someone today and make Obama and yourcountry proud. America needs more thûgs like Obama.
Cloris Leachman, David Letterman, and Bill Maher just to name three
all called Sarah Palin a slût and Maher mocked down syndrome children. Time to get on board and start trashing and insulting each other with all manner of vile words. It is the American way and we certainly want Democrats to like us so we need to be more like them. So fuçk YOU Mr. President!
Dirty Harry Reid has led the way in trash talk ... he still gets into NBA games ...
The media let him get away with race-baiting comments like, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican." Or, during the 2012 presidential campaign, when he called Obama "light-skinned," saying he speaks "with no Négro dialect unless he wanted to have one." Wow way to go Harry calling Obama a Négro. According to The Los Angeles Times, one of his outright lies came during the 2012 presidential campaign, when he said from the floor of the Senate: "He [Romney] hasn't paid any taxes for 10 years." The Washington Post gave Reid "Four Pinocchios" for that nose-stretcher, while saying Reid "refused to release his own tax returns." Well, Harry hope you die a slow death from CANCER ... LOL ... feel better BIOTCH? lol insulting is the American way. DemWITS have taught us ...
The bottom line about the whole NBA drama that idiots like Scoot missed
in his haste to beat his cheat and declare he is not a racist and better than everyone else to pander to blacks in New Orleans ... Quote from article ... High quality global journalism requires investment. Please share this article with others using the link below, do not cut & paste the article. See our Ts&Cs and Copyright Policy for more detail.

This includes many athletes and owners now calling for Mr Sterling's head. Last year Tony Parker, the French guard for the San Antonio Spurs, made a quenelle salute, created and popularised by the French comedian Dieudonné. The quenelle has become beloved of Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites, some of whom have been filmed making the gesture outside concentration camps, Holocaust memorials and synagogues. Is there a place for Parker in the NBA? Feminist groups have in recent years eyed the league's sexual harassment policies. It will probably not be hard to make the case that Mr Sterling is a lout. What will be hard is making the case that he is the only lout in the NBA. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/e1173174-d092-11e3-9a81-00144feabdc0.html#axzz30n0dkII3
Private organization - hope they fire ALL racists, sexists and bigots. Their right!
Democrats are running a racist for president ... typical ...
Mahatma Gandhi "ran a gas station down in Saint Louis." -Senator Hillary Clinton
When the NBA bans Spike Lee for life, they will gain credibility otherwise they have none.
... and he work for the NBA. "I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street." – Spike Lee http://youngcons.com/spike-lee-works-for-the-nba-and-gets-front-row-seat-for-sterling-ban-ironic-when-you-look-at-the-racist-stuff-he-says/
The NBA's supposed to ban Spike Lee but people on your side of the aisle rally around Phil Robertson being ignorant of civil rights. H Y P O C R I T E S.
Americans know SH!T when they see it ... Dems smelling pretty bad ...
The Republican Party is at its strongest point in two decades heading into midterm elections, according to a new Pew Research-USA Today poll, the latest daunting sign for Democrats ahead of campaign season. The GOP is at an even stronger point than in previous "wave" elections in 1994 and 2010 and looks poised to make major gains — and possibly take control of the U.S. Senate. According to the poll, out Monday, Republicans have a 47-43 lead on the generic congressional ballot. That's a 10-point swing from October, when Democrats, boosted by GOP blame for the federal government shutdown, held a 6-point lead in the Pew poll. Overall, Democrats are plagued by the still-sluggish economy, the unpopularity of the Affordable Care Act, and the undesirable views of President Obama. More voters (26%) say their vote will be "against" the president. Only 16% say their vote will be "for" Obama. And by more than a 2-to-1 margin, voters say they want the next president to pursue policies different from the Obama administration's priorities. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/poll-elections-republicans-democrats-obama-2014-5#ixzz30sbFL1uD
Congressional approval still in the basement, worse than Obama or the band Nickelback. Gerrymandered districts nonwithstanding, GOP is still facing trouble demographically in 2016 - especially if the Dems nominate the right person. The Republicans may hang on or even take the Senate, but it's likely the last time for the next decade. ACA numbers are going up, fewer people uninsured..
On today's show he talked about his admiration and crush on baby moon landrieu. They just love New Orleans. They don't tel the truth about this third world city

Hi everybody! I am a musician and I have tried AKG k240 mk2 but I have not listened to k550 yet.
I want to choose between them but i want to know "is there a huge difference between them in sound quality?" (80$ _ 249$)
Between some headphones that I've tried, I liked k240's timber and signature, but I want something more professional !
I want to make sure that k550 is similar to it but improved.
What are the differences exactly?

Fire on the Water
By Tom Neale, 5/14/2009
Tom Neale's logs have a new name and home on BoatUS Magazine. We know Tom has a loyal and devoted readership, so we wanted to share his tips and insights with an even bigger audience! For the latest articles, click here for Onboard With Tom Neale.
Recently many were mesmerized by reports, some hysterical, of a runaway brush fire sweeping down on the ICW. The ICW section involved was in South Carolina, in the North Myrtle Beach area. The ICW here is a very narrow dredged blasted canal, some even blasted from rock. Much of it has rock on the bottom and on the sides. Until recently its banks were mostly unsettled because the term "waterfront property" was less likely to apply to land facing a ditch. But things changed, and extravagant mansions now line banks that were formerly wooded. Bridges have been and are being built at a frantic rate, at cost of billions, to spare rushed citizens a few miles of driving. Most of the news media focused on the threat to the mansions and other homes. Little was said about the ICW except that it was hoped that the narrow ribbon of water would provide a barrier. The USCG Captain of the Port in Charleston wisely closed the ICW until passage was deemed to be safe and smoke had cleared. ICW travelers were very lucky to have several marinas at the north end of the affected area where they could wait as well as a few marinas not too far from the south end, and many anchorages in that area on the Waccamaw River. Some sections of the ICW offer no place to safely stop if there is a blockage, necessitating boaters proceed on in the dark. This is normally not prudent for most pleasure boats on the ICW because of things like logs and other debris (twice in this area we've seen sections of docks floating in the narrow channel), trees snagged on the bottom, slanting upwards at an angle perfect for holing boats, (we saw at least one of these in the Waccamaw a few days earlier) and the ever present shoaling. We had recently passed through and were dealing with the same strong westerly winds which were fanning the flames, but we were, at the time of the fire, well to the north in open waters where you can change course without running aground. We breathed a sigh of relief that we were past that section. Traveling the ICW always has that issue. You want to and indeed should stop to smell the roses, but when you do, you always wonder what bridge is going to break in the closed position ahead, or what accident or other occurrence will stop traffic for days. And unlike traveling on the interstate, there are seldom detour routes available. There is always the ocean, but there may not be a safe inlet where you are, and the ocean at times, as we all know, can be dangerous or, at best, very uncomfortable. Warnings were flying from some sources, implying that the North Myrtle Beach Fire was the most unexpected and unimaginable of horrors. It could well have been a horror for anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time. But, fire danger while traveling the ICW and other confined waters isn't a new hazard at all and should be part of what we prepare for. We all know (hopefully) of the danger of fire aboard, but it's easy, while on a boat, to think that you don't have to be concerned with fire ashore. A few years back we'd reached one of our favorite anchorages after a long and difficult day and settled in for the evening, secure in the knowledge that the bottom had good holding. But soon thereafter we learned from watching the local evening news on TV that the smoke we'd been seeing to the south, and which we'd asked about earlier as we passed through a bridge, was actually an out-of-control fire threatening, yes, the ICW where we were anchored and some mansions belonging to some very famous people. Some bureaucrats and park attendants had decided to conduct a "controlled burn" despite a long standing forecast of strong westerly wind. The burn had gotten out of hand and was anything but controlled. It isn't unusual to see smoke as you travel, from many sources. So we hadn't been alarmed at first. But we quickly became alarmed when we saw the aerial shots of where the fire was and what it was doing. It was a tense night as we wondered whether the wind would change and send the fire to the shores upwind of us. We would have had to backtrack north in the dark in some very difficult waters in order to avoid raining fiery embers. I wrote about this in the 47th of these columns entitled "Wind and Fire" which you can find at http://www.boatus.com/cruising/TomNeale/article_47.asp . We've had many other encounters with fire ashore while we were on the water. Once our visibility was reduced to near zero because of smoke from large fires to the west. The odd thing about this was that we were miles out in the Atlantic Ocean. To make matters worse, we were in the approaches to the large seaport and naval base of Jacksonville, Florida and warships were engaged in maneuvers in the area. The smoke had been carried by the winds far to sea because the fires were so big and there was so much smoke. We've been in the Abacos out in the Bahamas and seen and smelled smoke from the US. There was no danger there, but there was that reminder. That same year, however, there were wildly burning brush fires in the Abacos, and blowing embers threatened some nearby boats. You can't count on anything for sure when you're on the water—except that the unexpected can happen and ordinary expectations, such as "you're safe from forest fires when you're out on the water" don't always work. There are many places on the water where shoreside fire can be a concern. Obviously any narrow body of water in which you can only go one direction or the opposite is vulnerable. If there are woods or weeds or brush on the shores, the likelihood of having a problem at some time increases. There are many such areas, and here are but a few examples. The beautiful Alligator River-Pungo River Canal in North Carolina is one. This stretch is around 20 miles long. It's a narrow canal through what is mostly swamp. While the wet stuff on the ground isn't likely to burn, the trees can, particularly in the dry season and when there are prolonged periods of high pressure, very low humidity and winds. The humidity at the time of the North Myrtle Beach fire was around 30 to 35 percent. 1. We've developed a habit of turning on the TV when we're in range of a local station or the satellite TV (when it is working) and checking briefly the morning, noon and evening local news on a local channel. Another prime fire danger area could be the narrow long stretch of the ICW running from just north of Charleston SC to the Santee Rivers and then just north of that. Some of this, particularly near Charleston, is fairly built up with homes and, hopefully, less subject to wild fire. But some of this area runs through the Francis Marion National Forest Recreation Area. And there's a narrow dredged section north of the Little River Inlet area (in SC) and one just south of Southport (in NC). There are also miles and miles of marsh here. In Florida there are many narrow canal-like sections of the ICW. Most of these are densely populated, as in the area from Jupiter Inlet down to Miami. But some, such as the canals through Palm Valley and Palm Coast, while still populated, have ample brush, marsh grass and trees to burn. When I see an area of smoke ashore, I want to think, "Oh, it's probably a factory, nuclear power plant or paper mill." There are plenty of those, billowing smoke, or steam which looks like smoke, up into the air. But this only adds to the false sense of security. The North Myrtle Beach fire reminds me, yet again, that on the water we've got to be prepared for just about anything, including wild fires ashore. See www.tomneale.com Copyright 2004-2009 Tom Neale

text: The NFL Shop Ruined A Lot Of ChristmasesBarry Petchesky1/03/14 3:56pmFiled to: nfl shopnflchristmas571EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We received an email from a reader looking to vent. They purchased a jersey from NFLShop.com on Dec. 6 as an intended present, since the site promised—in large, bolded text—that it would arrive before Christmas. It still hasn't shown up. If that was an anomaly, it'd be understandable, even excusable. But our reader went looking for other reviews, and discovered hundreds of angry fans who hadn't received their packages in time for Christmas. The NFL Shop killed Santa. Advertisement Go ahead, read some recent reviews of NFLShop.com on ConsumerAffairs.com, SiteJabber, and most hilariously, on the NFL Shop's own Facebook page. They all sound pretty much the same. A sampling:I made a christmas order on 12/6/13 and NEVER received any feedback on expected shipping date. After wasting a LOT of time on the phone with them 12 (!) days later and trying to escalate the problem they finally said that some of the items were not available and were holding up the shipping!I placed an order on December 19 where your website stated there was 2 day shipping in time for Xmas. My order did NOT arrive by Xmas. In fact, I am still waiting it's arrival....15 days later!! I called 4 days ago to see what was going on with my order to be told my order was never fulfilled by the warehouse! The operator ensured me my order would be sent out the next business day and overnighted for free. Here I am...still no order.I placed my order for two jerseys that my children asked for from Santa on Dec 14th. My credit card was charged immediately, even though the items were nowhere near ready to be shipped. The items showed as in stock (as they still do today 12/24) - however the items were never shipped to me. After holding for hours, and speaking to customer service representatives feeding me false promises that they would get things taken care of... I have not received my package.I ordered a Jamaal Charles jersey weeks before christmas (w996997431) and was promised it would be delivered for the holiday. I then email as it gets closer and am told it will still make it on time. Then low and behold right before the holiday my order is cancelled on your end for no reason other than you being unable to fill it on time.I ordered a Xmas present jersey on the 9th of December, plenty of time to get here by Xmas (especially with the "ship next business day promise on the websit")and what happens is I am on the phone 3 times only to discover today...11 days later that my order will not actually ship until the 12/30. Order an Alshon Jeffery jersey for my son last week 12/17 to arrive in time for Christmas. Confirmation email said order would ship in 3 business days. Called customer service twice to check on order. Each time they told me they were "upgrading" my shipping so my order would arrive on time. After hearing that again today, I asked to speak with a supervisor. 40 minutes of "on-hold" and 2 supervisors later, I was finally told the jersey wasn't made yet, didn't know exactly when it would be made and they were sorry but nothing that they could do.So, rough times at the NFL Shop (especially for the poor customer service rep frantically replying to every Facebook complaint). But rougher times for people who bought Christmas gifts that will end up as Presidents' Day gifts. We've asked NFLShop.com for comment and will update if we hear back.

Not yet, I want to read what they have designed it to do first.
It looks like they have their site back up and running.
The whole point in creating a thread is to ask about something or give information about something. This thread title is non descriptive, the content is just some links with no explanation and really i can't see why this thread even exists.
Can you put some more information in this thread or just delete it entirely!

It's not the point of ME understanding it - the whole point of daemonforums is to provide useful information that's searchable both by google and by the forum search function.

"No, that's wrong, Cartman. But don't worry, there are no stupid answers, just stupid people." -- Mr. Garrison Forum Netiquette |
On the one hand, I found the link to be interesting.
On the other hand, I had to go to another site and figure out that the main thrust looks to be post-installation utilities. That would put this in the install/upgrade category, where a succinct post like "I profited from EasyBSD and its post-install tasks BECAUSE a, b, c, etc." would make it more than an advert for a site and save about ten minutes of poking around. If anyone has used the utils, please post at FBSD install/upgrade. That being said, I would be interested in taking a look at post-install stuff next time I upgrade. Right now my FreeBSD server is running just peachy and I set it and forget it. Good to see the BSDForums folks posting here. Sorry to see BSDforums go south. |

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Poorer people have a harder time getting a doctor's appointment in Canada, a new study suggests - even though the country's universal health insurance pays doctors the same amount regardless of the type of patient they see.
Researchers who called primary care practices pretending to be a bank employee or on welfare were 80 percent more likely to be offered an appointment when taking on the wealthier persona.
"We expected that we would find the result that we did, which was that there would be preferential treatment," said Dr. Stephen Hwang, who worked on the study at St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto.
"As a physician who provides care for people who are marginalized or disadvantaged, they not infrequently tell me that they feel like they've been treated poorly by healthcare providers in the past simply because they're poor," he told Reuters Health.
Hwang expects the disparity to be due more to doctors' and receptionists' unconscious biases than an explicit policy to cherry pick wealthier patients.
Members of his team called 375 family physicians and general practitioners in Toronto pretending to be looking for a primary care doctor. Half of the time the caller pretended to be a bank employee recently transferred to the city; for the other half of calls, the caller took on the role of a welfare recipient.
Researchers impersonating a bank employee were offered an appointment almost 23 percent of the time. In the other cases, a receptionist put the caller on a waitlist or said the doctor wasn't taking new patients.
In comparison, callers pretending to be on welfare were offered an appointment at just 14 percent of offices, the researchers found.
Receptionists were more likely to offer an appointment to a caller posing as someone with diabetes or low back pain than one without a chronic condition. That, at least, suggests patients who need care the most "are being appropriately prioritized," Hwang and his colleagues wrote in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Past studies suggest patient discrimination based on income is an even bigger problem in the United States, where doctors tend to be reimbursed more for treating a person with private insurance than one on Medicare or Medicaid.
"When people have no health insurance or if they have health insurance that pays less than more general coverage does, they're much more likely to get turned away by physicians. But that's hardly surprising," Hwang said. "It simply pays more to look out for those patients."
"The fact that they found the results they did in a universal health insurance population is particularly interesting," said Dr. Karin Rhodes, who has studied access to care at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia but wasn't involved in the new research.
"Everything I've seen has been economically driven," she told Reuters Health, meaning doctors' reimbursements would be affected by which patients they saw - unlike in Canada.
"The next step is (the authors) really need to follow it up with some qualitative research to identify the potential reasons behind their findings," Rhodes added.
Hwang said it may be human nature to have an unconscious bias toward the well-off, but healthcare workers especially need to recognize and fight against that urge.
"Physicians and particularly office assistants/receptionists who play a very important role in our healthcare experience have to be aware of the risk of treating people either preferentially or negatively simply because of their background, and we have to guard against that tendency," Hwang said.
"In the realm of healthcare, I feel strongly that we should be providing care on the basis of people's need and not their wallet."

I've eaten my fair share of Brussels sprouts, but have never had them quite like this. Mixed with marinated tofu and drenched in a sweet and spicy sauce, this recipe from Plenty (one of our 10 favorite cookbooks of 2011) could have been a sticky mess. I mean, where else have you seen sweet chile sauce mixed with maple syrup? Instead, it's an addictive vegetarian meal that I can't wait to make again.
Like many Brussels sprouts recipes, this one starts by cooking the green guys over high heat until they turn nearly black. Instead of bitter, they come out of the pan caramelized but still kind of crunchy, which matches perfectly with the more tender mushrooms and tofu. I knew I was going to fall in love with this Plenty cookbook, but I didn't expect it to be with such an interesting recipe.

Mariners Blog
Geoff Baker covers the Mariners for The Seattle Times. He provides daily coverage of the team throughout spring training, and during the season.

Mariners at Padres: game thread
Posted by Geoff Baker
Nice to be at home for a "road" game. That's what happens when you share the same stadium as the team you're playing. This might be the nicest night of the spring down here. A pleasant 78 degrees as the sun goes down. The anthem singer just finished, so we're about to get underway.
Just to keep things interesting, we've thrown in some "Sights and Sounds" above. Richie Sexson isn't playing tonight, resting a sore shoulder. But he got his conditioning workout in with trainer Alan Wirtala. The pair have to dodge some flyballs in the outfield, as they're doing this stuff during BP. At one point, Wirtala asks pitcher Erik Bedard to watch their back for them (meaning, to shag any flies headed straight for them). Enjoy the diversion.
10:02 p.m.: The M's loaded the bases with none out but failed to score in the top of the 10th. Greg Norton led off with a single, then pinch-runner Charlton Jimerson was safe on a ban-bang play at second on a grounder by Tug Hulett. Jamie Burke then laid down a perfect bunt for an infield single to load the bases with none out. Yuniesky Betancourt flied out to shallow right, with Jimerson wisely holding up at third. That brought Mike Morse to the plate and he hit a chopper towards second baseman Oscar Robles, who tagged Burke for one out, then made a shovel toss to first to nab Morse. A great play by Robles, who realized he had no shot at throwing Jimerson out at the plate.
9:55 p.m.: Well, if you're going to blow a lead, you do it in style. San Diego scored a run in the eighth and then Chase Headley took Eric O'Flaherty deep to left center (home run swing pictured above) with a two-run shot in the ninth. The homer came with one out. Mike Morse then badly misjudged a two-out flyball down the line in right field and allowed it to become a triple. But O'Flaherty survived and got out of the inning with the game still tied 6-6. They're going to play one final inning now to see if anyone can break the tie. Nice outing by O'Flaherty one day after being annointed George Sherrill's replacement as the situational lefty. Oh well.
9:06 p.m.: Adrian Beltre singles to bring Ichiro home from third base, which he'd stolen moments earlier. Now a 6-3 game midway through seven. During Ichiro's at-bat, he lined a ball into the stands that struck a small boy in the chest area. The child appeared to be knocked out by the ball, but eventually began to move around and got a huge round of applause from the crowd. Not sure where he is right now.
By the way, did anybody catch this piece of writing from Jeff Sullivan over at Lookout Landing? Fantastic.
8:46 p.m.: Another run by the Mariners puts them up 5-3 heading to the bottom of the sixth. Jose Vidro, doing things right tonight, opened with a single and then pulled off a delayed type of steal that fooled catcher Josh Bard and caused him to make an awful throw. So, a rare stolen base for Vidro, who later scores on a Yuniesky Betancourt single.
8:35 p.m.: Still a 4-3 game, M's in the lead, as we head to the sixth inning. Good job by Miguel Batista thus far, limiting the damage despite the six hits off him in five innings. His back doesn't seem to be an issue this time. One thing manager John McLaren said before the game is that he'd like his final roster to be in-place before the team heads off to San Francisco for the final weekend of spring training. That means we should pretty much know everything a week from now. McLaren doesn't like cutting guys when the rest of the team is about to board a plane north to start the regular season. He's seen a few players left blindsided by such moves and finds them unnecessarily cruel.
My highlight of the night thus far is seeing Brad Wilkerson throw out Josh Bard at first base after a single to right field. Bard rounded first and was thinking of going to second, but slowed and began to head back. Strong throw by Wilkerson nailed him.
Just a note to Resin in the comments thread, the first time I noticed your comment about Raul Ibanez's defense was about three minutes ago. MLB has new rules stating that I'm not allowed to update a blog more than once every half inning. So, I'd already written my Ibanez rant and had to wait to post it for a good 10 minutes as the Padres kept prolonging the third. Not a big deal, but I don't want any of you thinking I'm Ibanez's protector and need to be prodded into anything. I'm well aware of his shortcomings. But I appreciate you keeping me on my toes. You're a regular contributor and I appreciate the feedback.
7:58 p.m.: So, what to make of that Jose Lopez at-bat in the third inning? Ichiro had led off with a double and Lopez was asked to bunt him over to third. Lopez missed on his first two bunt attempts and then, swinging away, laced a ball just inside the first base bag and down the right field line for an RBI single. Looked like a late swing to me. Big reason the ball got past first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who was playing Lopez to pull the ball. Optimists will note it as an RBI in the No. 2-spot for Lopez. Me? Not convinced. Sorry.
Raul Ibanez singled, with Lopez taking third on the play. The second sacrifice fly of the night by Jose Vidro then put Seattle ahead 4-3.
7:45 p.m.: OK, so, for the first time all spring, my eyes did see Raul Ibanez just cost his pitcher a double (and ultimately, a run) on an Adrian Gonzalez fly ball to left. The ball was off the end of Gonzalez's bat, but it hung up in the air long enough that a good defender in left would have made the play. Ibanez seemed to get a poor jump on the ball, but as hard as he ran, he could not catch up to it.
Miguel Batista got a groundout after that, the runner holding at second. But Jody Gerut then singled up the middle to bring home Gonzalez and make it a 2-1 game. Yes, what we just saw from Ibanez will happen at times this season. He's not a Gold Glove defender out there, I know. You know. Anyone who read this blog, or any other this winter knows that. In my book though, to coin some hockey parlance, Ibanez is all evened-out in the plus-minus so far tonight. Cost his team a run that inning, but scored one in the first.
Some might blame Ibanez for costing Batista an even bigger inning, since he went on to give up a double to left center by Scott Hairston that tied the game up. Josh Bard then hit a flare single to left that put the Padres ahead 3-2. No, it isn't all Ibanez's fault. But what we saw this inning is definitely the negative side of what he brings to the table in left. I think his offense makes up for plenty of it, more so than some of Ibanez's critics. But there is a downside and we just saw it.
7:24 p.m.: Nothing wrong with that first inning by Miguel Batista. Got the quick results he wanted, notching a long flyout to left by Brian Giles, a strikeout on Tadahito Iguchi and a groundout to shortstop by Kevin Kouzmanoff.
7:15 p.m.: Quick start for the Mariners, who now lead 2-0 after a half-inning with some sloppy San Diego fielding helping out. Ichiro led off with an infield single that third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff could only knock down. That came on the first pitch of the night. After a flyout by Jose Lopez, Raul Ibanez singled up the middle, putting runners at the corners.
Adrian Beltre then hit a double-play grounder toward Tadahito Iguchi at second. But Iguchi bobbled the ball for one error, then threw wide of first base for his second error on the same play. That allowed a run to score and put runners at the corners with one out. Jose Vidro then hit a fly ball to right that became a sacrifice fly when Ibanez trotted home from third.

Well I think Geoff needs to watch these games closer. We just saw Ibanez's lack of range cost the club a run. Recently Geoff stated he saw no evidence that Ibanez is hurting the club defensively. We also saw how Ichiro's arm isn't as strong as it was in 2001. These are very clear things to the trained eye.

I love how a ball is hit into the gap, Ichiro runs over, gets the bounce, throws it in, and Ibanez is still nowhere in the screen. Sure, he doesn't drop balls that he gets to, so it doesn't look like he's costing runs, but he just isn't getting to enough balls.

Well according to Jason Churchill, master of bad information, Lopez is supposedly lost at the plate this spring and shouldn't be in the majors much less the minors. I have to say after watching Lopez's at bat, he looked very sound on his batting mechanics and actually followed through with his swing to opposite field nicely. He worked the count after McLaren's brain dead bunt attempt put him behind to start the at bat. Lopez could rebound very nice this year.

LOL! Geoff, I thought that might grab your attention about Ibanez!

Great throw behind the runner by Brad Wilkerson to nail Bard at 1st. Those are the kind of plays that help make teams contenders.
Posted by DrLo
8:34 PM, Mar 20, 2008
Any major leaguer, and especially a middle infielder batting in the two slot or the bottom of the order, must be able to bunt. Whether the decision to have anyone bunt in any given situation is brain-dead or not is a reasonable issue to debate, but the quality of the decision should have no bearing on the batter's execution. That Lopez apparently still cannot bunt when asked, despite this being a glaring weakness last year written off to "focus" or whatever, is not a good sign of his improvement going into 2008. He consistently fails on bunt attempts; he does not consistently deliver RBI singles. Even a blind squirrel.....
Posted by Resin isn't Cheating
8:44 PM, Mar 20, 2008
Lopez's or any hitter's ability to bunt or improve as a bunter has absolutely no bearing much less used as an indicator "as a sign of improvement for 2008." That's absurd to judge a guy on his bunting ability. When scouts rate tools they do not rate or "focus" on bunting ability. Lol!

Actually, Resin - Churchill was quoting other scouts, not making his own evaluation of Lopez.
Good try, though.

I bet we get a comment about the error that Morse made. When was the last time he palyed. How many different positions has ha played.? He needs to start on this team period?
Posted by Mr. X

"he does not consistently deliver RBI singles"
True, 66 of his 205 career hits with runners on were not singles. The truth is, Jose Lopez is a better hitter with runners on, and always has been. It's like looking at two different players. He has 138 fewer at-bats with runners on, yet he has more hits, doubles, triples, and home runs than he does with the bases empty. Betancourt can't say that. Vidro and Johjima can't say that. Neither can babyfat Wilkerson. In fact, none of our starters can. Ibanez is the only one who is even close. It's the difference between having a player who hits .231/.265/.321 and .296/.330/.449. Only a blithering idiot would bat him 8th or 9th.

Posted by scottM
9:58 PM, Mar 20, 2008
The comment about Morse's horrible flub in right, is that Ibanez would have made that routine catch. Raul gets plenty of abuse here, but I have no doubt, he would have caught that ball. The grass ain't necessarily greener... Even Morse looked as though he was very disappointed in himself.
Posted by Bender
10:01 PM, Mar 20, 2008
Morse is absolutely horrid in the field. He's hitting .500 in spring training, he'll never hit like that in the regular season. He's not a good ballplayer. If you think he should start you don't understand baseball.
Posted by NB
10:21 PM, Mar 20, 2008
I don't think anybody who rags on Raul for his defense wants Mike Morse to take his place.
Posted by markus
10:23 PM, Mar 20, 2008
Morse shouldn't start in RF, but he is a better bench option that Cairo or Norton. He won't hit .500 in the majors, but every time he has been with the big club he has hit around .300. It's time to give the guy a chance to break camp with the big club. On bad inning shouldn't kill the great spring he's had.
Posted by Bill
10:40 PM, Mar 20, 2008
I saw that hit by Gonzalez and then saw Raul running toward the ball and knew he was never going to get there. Then a few minutes later a ball is hit to left center and the only one in the screen is Ichiro.
Is Lopez the best we can do? His head still doesn't look like it's on baseball.
Posted by AKMarinersFan
10:40 PM, Mar 20, 2008
Give me a break. Mores has played like 5 innings in the last week. Which are are a couple more innnings then Reed. I swear that McLaren has tried to cool them off so he can show how the veterans outperform them

"MLB has new rules stating that I'm not allowed to update a blog more than once every half inning."
Geoff, you can't be serious. Or more appropriately, MLB can't be serious. Since you're Canadian, I'll cut you some slack. But shouldn't MLB know better about a little something called the First Amendment? What's the reasoning behind the restrictions?

Resin, you are always free to quote Churchill if you'd like to make your point.
Lopez is a complete mess at the plate. Several scouts described him as lost or without any confidence he can hit the ball hard at all after seeing him this spring.
And just for good measure, here's what you said, Resin:
Well according to Jason Churchill, master of bad information, Lopez is supposedly lost at the plate this spring and shouldn't be in the majors much less the minors.
Hes still chasing pitches out of the zone early in the count and is unable to punish the fastball. Presently, Lopez is not showing that he deserves regular at-bats in Triple-A, let alone a solid big-league baseball club.
You see, when he puts quotes around certain phrases, while attributing those phrases to scouts, he's using their words, not his own. So he is not callng Lopez "lost," or without confidence. The scouts are. Is he saying Lopez shouldn't get regular ML ABs? Yes. But again, that's an argument backed up by evaluations of scouts, not just his own observation.
Again, nice try.

Polk Theatre
121 S. Florida Avenue,
6 people favorited this theater
Built in 1927 by architect James E. Casale, the Polk Theatre has a mezzanine, a high balcony, a permanent backdrop of a "Venetian piazza," an orchestral pit, high twinkling stars, a cloud-covered ceiling, and an exquisite terrazo floor. The air-conditioning system (the first in the county in the 1920's) was a pump that used artesian well water to chill the building.
The Polk Theatre opened on December 22, 1928 with Pauline Frederick in "On Trial".
Today, the 1,400-seat theatre is used for live performances as well as movies.

spectrum: Music to my ears when reading "complete restoration was completed". Congratulations!!!
The new marquees etc. are just fantastic compared to how this theatre's exterior looked in 1988. Complete transformation!
In fact, the entire building was transformed with the lovely addition of awnings, etc. I wish more downtowns made use of storefront awnings rather than see them turned into a rusty place for bird's nests.
Having recently toured this theatre it is a must-see! I learned after speaking with one of the sresident organist that the organ was originally in a Canton Ohio theatre.
I've visited this theatre and it is a must-see when in Lakeland FL.
The Polk Theatre is doing a documentary about the Elvis performance in 1956. They are searching for people who attended the concert.

Hi Fishy
I think I made a mistake when I uploaded the pics,try again I changed the format
Once again let me know what you think
thanks, but i dont quite get the 2nd pic, wut is it?
Chris -Dumas SkDaddle, Northwind 36, HPI MT2, Jae 12g
Hi Fishy
As I said in the one post you could move the one cross piece that the servo's mount on back about a 1\4 inch,but you would have to make a new cross piece,the second pic was a rough idea of what the cross piece would look like.
This would let you get a 3802 servo in the box and if you used 4 alkaline batteries you would get 6 volt's to the servo.
thank you very much, this will help greatly

Hi guys: I need some sails for an "Epic" Marblehead class boat I put together many years ago.
They were referred to as 50/500 class because they had 500 inches of sail area and were 50 inches long.
Can anyone recommend a good sailmaker?

Hi Fishy
These are the best pictures I have of what you ask for,sorry they are'nt better
but they really lose some thing when I upload them
I posted a picture before of the servo tray before it was installed in the boat,the
jib and mainsail sheet's run under the deck you can see in the pictures where the
jib sheet comes through the deck,the mainsail sheet comes up through the hatch.
If you need any thing else let me know and I'll try to help.
speaking of haveing northwinds on the water. I FINALLY got mine on the water yesterday also. I took some pics but forgot to bring the camera to work with me.
I was both discourged and happy.
I thought it would be a good day for sailing as we had a storm moving in and i figured we would have a good breeze. well NO. it was both gusty and shifty. so when it was blowing it was fun to play with, but there was more than a little time spent floating out in the middle of the lake so i could get moveing again.
The pond i was sailing on was a bit sheltered soooo....

hey bobslr... i need a favor... since you didnt use the radio set up that came with your northwind, if you wouldnt mind mailing me the little silver servo links that came with it. thanks a million...
please respond and i will give you my address if you will send them.

I have a question about sail travel.
obiously max would be all the way out sailing down wind with the boom 90deg to the centerline of the boat.
but whats the min angle? 10deg off centerline of the boat? 15? 20?
im wondering if i have enough travel in my sail servo. sometimes i wonder if i can haul the sails in far enough, but then again if they are running virutally parrell to the boat, they arnt going to catch any wind that will move the boat foraward anyway so theres little point in being able to haul them in all the way to virtually 0 deg.
what say you?
T-maxx Epic .18 -- HPI nitro RS4 -- 2 Mini-T\'s -- RC18T

I got this from a site on the internet but I don't remember where.
Anyway they said that the end of your main sail boom should point at the rear corner of the hull
and the end of the jib boom should point at the shroud chain plate.
Cool to see this build thread..just started on mine yesterday
Keep us posted on your progress,this was my first sail boat and I'm having a
lot of fun with it.
Most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing but the lake where I've been sailing it
is only two block's from my house so I'm getting a lot of practice not knowing what I'm doing .
need help on page 7 parts I and K screw onto what?did the manual fail to show part "g" it seems to fit and makes sense..
Parts I and K screw into Part G (cleat mount).
I just got my Northwind 36 yesterday. I had a Nirvana and I loved it. I gave it to my dad and got the Northwind so we could sail them at the lake and have match races. I'm saving up for a Seawind also. My debate is weather or not paint my Northwind. To be honest i'm afraid to paint it in a way because of the paint running. I would love to paint it to look like the boat Radiance in the movie "WIND" which is a dark blue with a red stripe on the upper waterline. Do you guys have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it.
I am close to rigging the boat.Honestly I have to say that the instructions are horrible.I have built many planes and cars before,but those messy pages are difficult to sift through.There are many many errors in the drawings and assembly steps,but I am slowly getting through it.She looks like a pretty sailboat and part all seem to be good.I do wish they printed both sides of the sail,looks a little cheap.I have read that it sails ok,so that will make up for the assembly I hope.
Planing to run a Hitech 945 for the sail.just over a 100 oz torque at 4.8.Is that a good choice? Havent installed radio box as I am waiting for this servo and it is a little larger than standard,so some mods may have to be made.
i didnt find the rigging instructions toooooo bad. they werent super clear i but i was able to follow them. it didnt help that i kinda made up my own "control" route as i didnt like the way the stock routing went so i spent quite a few hrs scratching my head trying to figure out how *I* want to run it and what i could get my hands on for fittings.
I really like the vission sails way of doing it, coming out of the radio box cover with a "through deck" fitting, but without ordering one off the internet i couldnt do that so .....
I also used a 1/4 scale servo for a sail servo so that wouldnt fit in the standard servo box so i tossed that whole mess also.
I HATED the stock arm that extends out over the radio cover with the loop in it. it thought it looked SO stupid. but with out that or the through deck fitting you need to come up with a loop. i chose to go with keychain ring suspended by 3 lines that ive seen used on a number of other boats.
I found that a pair of hemostats are priceless for helping tie all the tiny nots in the rigging that are required.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Lightning buggy Hyper21------ Northwind sailboat
Will do the rigging later on in the week.This is my first boat,so everything is new to me(and more confusing)
I have built 56 airplanes,and the last few have had manuals from hell,but prior experience helped get over it,and improve the builds.I plan on getting another boat or two,and hopefully I will learn alot from the Northwind.
does anyones servos ever go wacko? im sitting here working on my boat, trying to tune it all up, and my servos just go wacko. do you thing it would have anything to do with wireless internet or phones?

For non-Australian buyers, Australia has prohibitions on air shipping of lithium batteries. I'm happy to ship it by air at the buyers risk, otherwise, I can get the battery removed and ship it without it. Then you'd need to install a battery yourself.

I know, we know this game all too well Caught up in this moment, bound by a spell Waiting for you to hear of this longing, almost unbearable On our toes, every careful step we take, afraid to be vulnerable How long will this foolish heart be uncertain? It hasn't been easy to hide this feeling behind a curtain I've kept you guessing, the odds have never been fair Yet I still hope when the dust settles, I'll see you standing there If I could then I would just set myself free I'll take your hand and tell you it's you I'll love endlessly In my dreams I'd runaway and be who I want to be But at the moment, I live for my fantasies - I am still me Until then we will keep on in this dance We'll steal our moments and take our every chance Still not knowing where this road will lead you and I Our story, never the ideal one, I'm glad to fight for and try.
