He can even come before Snout Spout. We need MORE shake-ups in MOTUC and definitely more NA characters.

You know I'm in too, Mike!
Love the design, and it's easy to make for Mattel
Nice mock-up

I'd really hate to see the Trapjaw body end up as the base for every NA and Sci-fi character not from the original line.
I am always on favor of different obscure characters.
I want more POP, NA and 200x. I am not saying I don't want vintage figures cause I do, I love them to death but I am always more excited about the Adoras, Marzos and Opttikks of the collection.
That clip made me want Sagitar even more. Tuskador is like the Ram Man of NA.
Wow, that guy is goofy lookin'! Him and Snout Spout are definitely gona be on a "Feeling Sorry For Ourselves" team. Anyway, the mock up looks awesome! I'd certainly be down for an extra weapon, though, or the removable tusks to be used as weapons.

Great job, Mike! I liked Tuskador in the cartoon a lot, and I can't wait to see how he turns out looking like in the MOTUC line!

My ideal Tuskador in Classics would come with two sets of tusks. One fairly short, so that he's easier to fit into displays, and one with the long mammoth style tusks he originally had. That'd make everyone happy, I think.
I loved my Tuskador figure as a kid - way more than boring old Flipshot and the other more human-looking figures. I would totally buy a Tuskador!
Sweet mock-up, btw
...I can't wait for him to be made, I've always liked the character as he's one of the more interesting looking heroes. I'v always liked him as he's a mix between Man-E, Ram Man and Snout Spout!
I hope he has a human head underneath once the armor and tusks come off.
Make it happen Mattel/4HM!
I don't like NA very much but I did have some of the figures. Bought them for the sole reason that they do look cool. Optikk is one. Tuskador is another. So if and when MOTUC will come up with Tuskador, then I'm definitely giddy with it!

Wow, missed this official Tuskador figure the first time around....but he is one of my most wanted NA figures...can't wait to get him!
At this point, Tuskador is waaay down on the 'wants' list. But if a new version is given by 4H, I'll buy him as quick as the rest.
Nice Version!!!
But i hope the original MotUC is more near the original one!
Tuskador.....yeah... I'm sorry I don't like him. He is probably my least favorite NA character. Though I do like that mockup Mike. I am hoping that here soon we see another NA character in MOTUC.
Hey Super7 I'm looking forward to what you do for Classics and I'm awaiting these figures!

Now that we got King Hssss, I wonder if they would maybe try to use his thighs on Tuskador.

No! Not another elephant mask wearing human! Snout Spout already has the market cornered!
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
very silly character. he looks cool.
but dosnt make sense being a character thats in a tech advanced world
having tusks. i understand if it was eternia.
Tuskador is a character that's very low on my list, along with Vizar for instance.
I won't get him if he's not MUCH better than the vintage one. I think the sculpt and design should be improved. But I think they'll just limit the figure, making it a perfect copy of the vintage one...
I also hope Mattel will suppress the new crotch piece (Bow, Hssss), because that prevents the figure from moving its legs upward (front kick or sitting position)...
So I guess every new figure that has that kind of crotch will be a pass for me, now.

Ex-Husker Crick Misses Cut at U.S. Open
Former Husker golfer Brandon Crick fell short of playing over the weekend at the 113th U.S. Open Championship after the second round on Friday.
Crick shot 81 in the first round and 78 in the second round for a 159 total after 36 holes at Merion Golf Club's East Course. The second round wasn't completed on Friday due to darkness but the projected cut is 8-over-par. Crick is 19-over-par and tied for 151st.
In Thursday's first round, Crick opened with a par on the 11th. He made bogeys on 12, 17 and 18 to play his first eight holes in 3-over-par. Following pars on Holes 1 and 2, Crick bogeyed 3, 4, 6 and 7, with double bogeys on Nos. 5 and 8. The McCook, Neb., native closed with pars on 9 and 10 for his 11-over-par first round total.
In Friday's second round, Crick double bogeyed Hole No. 1 but responded with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 2 and 3. He added a par on the par-5 fourth hole but suffered back-to-back bogeys on 5 and 6. Crick closed the front nine with pars on 7 and 8 before bogeying the par-3 ninth hole.
Crick started the back nine with a bogey but parred the 11th. He double bogeyed Hole No. 12 and made bogeys on 14 and 15 but parred 13, 16, 17 and 18 to close out the round.
Crick, who lettered for Nebraska in 2009 and 2010, advanced to the U.S. Open following sectional qualifying and local qualifying. Crick was one of two qualifiers who posted 3-under-par 69 at Shadow Ridge Country Club in Omaha, Neb., in the local qualifier on May 14. He was one of nine competitors to advance from the sectional site at Colonial Country Club in Memphis, Tenn., on June 3. Crick fired 70 and 68 at the 36-hole event.
The U.S. Open continues on Saturday and Sunday at Merion Golf Club. Scoring is available here: http://www.usopen.com/en_US/scoring/index.html.

Lady Pirates beat the host team 52-47; Pirates win over North Callaway 62-51
The Boonville boys and girls basketball teams couldn't have asked for a better ending over the weekend in the Centralia Tournament.
After dropping heartbreakers earlier in the week, the Lady Pirates bounced back to capture their second trophy in as many tournaments by beating the host team in the consolation finals Friday 52-47. As for the Boonville boys basketball team, they also won the consolation trophy by turning back the North Callaway Thunderbirds 62-51.
While the win improved the Lady Pirates record to 4-2 overall, head coach Jaryt Hunziker said one thing the girls can take away from this week is that they are improving on closing out close games. "The last-three games have been great teaching tools on what is expected of the team down the stretch in close games," Hunziker said. "Defensive rebounding is still an area that needs to be stressed every day in practice and improved on in games. After playing a poor second quarter, it was great to see the girls pick up their play in the second half and hold on for the victory."
The Lady Pirates definitely had some work to do while trailing Centralia by two (29-27) at the break. Luckily for Boonville, they still had two quarters left to play and made the most of the opportunity by outscoring the Lady Panthers 25-18 in the second half for the victory.
Morgan Edwards, who was named to the all-tournament team, her second in as many tournaments, had 18 points, six rebounds, four steals and two assists to lead the Lady Pirates.
Addy Reardon, meanwhile, finished the game with 14 points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists. Millie Moyer added six points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal while Olivia Imhoff chipped in six points, two steals, two assists and one rebound, Ally Wessing with five points, six rebounds and one assist and Cassidy Renfrow with three points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals.
The Lady Pirates also had a productive night shooting the ball while hitting on 21 of 38 shots from the field for 55 percent and 9 of 14 from the foul line for 64 percent.
Centralia was led by Katie Crigler with 16 and Krista Armontrout with 15.
As for the Boonville boys basketball team, they led North Callaway from the first quarter on while taking a six-point lead (33-27) in at the half. The Pirates also outscored the Thunderbirds 29-24 in the final-two periods.
Boonville Pirates basketball coach Scott Floyd said his team played their best overall game of the year against North Callaway.
"I thought our athleticsm gave North Callaway fits all night," Floyd said. "We were able to get a season-high 12 steals in the game. Our on ball pressure continues to be one of our strengths, which allowed us to claim those 12 steals. Overall, it was a great week. We were able to get two wins in a very competitive tournament, and I thought we improved as a team this week. As a coach that is what you want your team to do."
Gauge Sharp led four players in double figures for Boonville, 4-2 on the season, with 17 points along with four rebounds and two assists.
Jay Barnhart had 12 points, eight rebounds and four steals while Damario Walker added 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal, Gus Kemp with 10 points, six steals, five rebounds and one assist, Tavious Brazil with eight points, five rebounds and one steal and Tyler Peterson with four points, one rebound and one assist.
For the game, Boonville also hit on 26 of 57 shots from the field for 46 percent and 8 of 16 from the foul line for 50 percent.
For North Callaway, Zac Eads had 17, Justin Murphy 13 and Jacob Haubner 10.

Boy Scout officials say NH open to change in national policy on gay membersStaff Report May 12. 2013 2:07AM
New Hampshire's Scouting community favors allowing not only gay Scouts but also gay adult leaders to serve in the Boy Scouts, going beyond a national resolution to be voted on May 23 that would only lift the ban on youth Scouts, according to two local delegates.
"I think the sentiment in New Hampshire has been tilted more to changing the policy. I cannot say it's changing in favor of the resolution as presently written," said Gerry Boyle, chairman of the executive board of the Daniel Webster Council, which represents most New Hampshire Scouts and adult leaders.
"The resolution as presently written is to make a policy change affecting Scouts only and not adult leaders," said Boyle, a previous council president and current Concord District Court judge.
As for the view of allowing gay adult leaders, Boyle said: "I think the sentiment is divided in New Hampshire. However, I think the majority sentiment is to change the policy for everyone."
Among those voicing concern about the coming vote is the father of a New Hampshire Scout. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester, which has many Scout troops, says its policies will not change, regardless of the vote.
Tom Farrelly, a father active in his son's Seacoast area troop, is angered by the way the Boy Scouts of America has handled the matter, including bringing to a vote something he feels is quite unnecessary.
"It's made the situation worse than it needs to be," Farrelly said Saturday. "They're bending to the political blackmail of activists. It's forcing them (Boy Scouts) to think about something that really has nothing to do with Scouting."
Farrelly said the subject of sexuality in any form should not be part of Scouting.
Kevin Donovan, director of communication for the Diocese of Manchester, said in an email he could not "respond to speculation about what may or may not happen" with regard to the Boy Scouts of America vote. "I will say that any vote would not affect the principles of ethics we hold all volunteers to.''
The Daniel Webster Council, which represents most of New Hampshire, with 13,000 youth members and more than 5,000 adult members, has four of the 1,400 national delegates who will converge at the annual meeting in Grapevine, Texas, this month. The vote will be taken and results released on May 23. If adopted, it will take effect Jan. 1.
A section of the resolution states: "No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone."
The proposed resolution can't be amended to include adult leaders, according to Boyle, who wants to keep an open mind until all the discussion has concluded.
He said two discussions involving members of the Scouting community at the Tilton School and Manchester's Camp Carpenter in March offered "very open and frank discussions, very emotional discussions on both sides of the issue."
No matter how the vote comes out, the issue of allowing gay youths in the Boy Scouts won't be settled, according to Boyle.
Another delegate, Manchester attorney Craig Donais, agrees.
"If I were a betting man, I'd put money on that. We'll have a resolution next year," he said.
Donais said he is "conflicted" and hasn't made up his mind on how he will vote.
"My feeling is this has become a political issue," said Donais, the council commissioner and a member of the DWC's executive board. "I think it's a complicated issue. You've got folks on both sides of the issue who feel strongly about a change or not a change. I've certainly heard from folks advocating for a change or remaining the same."
But, he said: "The sense was if we were talking about a policy change, the policy change would apply to youth and adults."
Donais said Scouts don't talk much at all about sexuality, gay or straight.
"The overall Scouting policy is when sexual-related issues come up, it's not something Scouting should address," Donais said, saying they are encouraged to talk with their parents and/or spiritual counselors.
The Boy Scouts conducted surveys of Scouts, parents and members of the Scouting community. Comments from the Scouting community in the Northeast were more positive for allowing gay Scouts and leaders than they were from people in other parts of the country, according to Donais, who pointed out that many of the states that have legalized gay marriage are in this region.
Boyle said the other two delegates are K. Mark Primeau, president and CEO of the Bank of New Hampshire who serves as the DWC's president, and Ray Bellemore, the council's vice president for physical resources. Neither could be reached for comment.
During a recent event on the Internet, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who finished sixth in New Hampshire's GOP presidential primary last year, said the Boy Scouts should maintain their current policy.
"The fact is, this is a private organization. Their values and principles have worked for a century now, and for pop culture to come in and try to tear that up because it just happens to be the flavor of the month, so to speak, and to tear apart one of the great organizations that have served millions of young men ... that is just not appropriate," Perry said during a discussion on the Family Research Council's "Stand With Scouts Sunday" event.
"Frankly, I hope the American people stand up and say, 'Not on my watch,'" said Perry, an Eagle Scout who wrote a book on Scouting.
According to Donovan, 60 Scouting units - troops, packs, venture teams - have parish sponsors. Knights of Columbus councils sponsor nine additional units. In total, there are 1,589 Scouts and 1,269 leaders involved.
Volunteers in parish-sponsored Boy Scout troops, Donovan said, "are required to undergo our training and screening requirements and would continue to have to" acknowledge they understand it is their "obligation to abide by the provisions contained in the Code and Policy."
Donovan added: "Beyond the obvious standards for correct moral behavior in sacred Scripture and the tradition of the church ...,'' church personnel are required to: act or behave in a manner consistent with accepted Catholic standards of moral or ethical conduct; act in a manner consistent with civil law and church law; comply with diocesan standards, policies and instructions, including this code; avoid situations that might be perceived as formally rejecting the teachings of the Catholic church and the Christian way of life or promoting causes in direct conflict with the teachings of the Catholic church; act in a manner consistent with a commitment to maintain a celibate and/or chaste lifestyle; refrain from abusing alcohol or drugs; and engage in conduct that has a positive impact on the reputation of the diocese and its parishes, schools, institutions and agencies.
"If a volunteer can't sign the Code," Donovan said in his email, "he or she is not eligible to serve as a volunteer working with children in our parishes. If a volunteer is found to subsequently be in violation of the Code, they are prohibited from volunteer ministry."

I would love MOTU LEGO!
Second on my list after a (decent) videogame.
Of course LEGO will still need Mattel on the wagon, but once Mattel higher-ups see enough interest for the quick buck they like oh-so-much (since the design would be already done, and the bricks available with no tooling, and the logistics on LEGO's shoulder), it could even work out.

I seriously doubt it would happen, unless Mattel puts out something to compete with Hasbor's Lego knock-offs. It would be an absolutely perfect property for that treatment, though, with vehicles and playsets of varying sizes and varying price points which suit the Lego model. And we could get a really complete Grayskull this way, both exterior and interior. My wallet would scream, though, as I would be VERY hard pressed to resist them...

I think posting a desgin on the Lego site is a great idea. I know I would support it.
Anyone working on anything to post up there?
I think the Battleram, Wind Raider, Castle Grayskull, Roton, Landshark, and Stridor/Night Stalker would be good places to start.
Although I love Lego and would surely support MOTU Lego, I would much rather prefer resources to be put towards more vehicles and playsets in the MOTUC line.
Who is the real protector of Grayskull?

Y'know in a movie year, the pursuit of money makes for some strange bedfellows. But I think it's highly improbable. However, I just picked up a LEGO mini-fig size power sword on Shapeways with the intention of making my own.

I had posted about this about 2 years ago but I wanted to bring it up again to keep the idea fresh in the minds of MOTUC fans. I think we need an ORG poll and petition to Mattel, KRE-O and or The Lego Group to be ready for a MOTUC line once a new movie is finally made. MOTUC has just as much cannon, charachters, scene's, etc as Star Wars or Transformers and for me this would be a dream come true. I loved Lego's as a child but I loved MOTU more! Lets be realistic here - a movie would have to become a reality, it would have to do well at the box office, and it would have to be a hit with kids. This would be a huge money making opportunity for all parties. I think I speak for most if not all MOTUC fans when I say I want to see an Eternia I can build myself! I mean can you imagine putting together your own Slime Pit? Your own Snake Mountain? Your own Grayskull? Your own Horde playset? Your own Attack-Track etc... Not to mention just how cool all the miniature figures would be. I personally would prefer KRE-O after seeing how well they handled the Transformers figures. What do you think? Would you prefer KRE-O or Lego's????
Isn't KRE-O a Hasbro's brand?...
Not happening!!
Lego would need to make hundreds of thousands to even consider MOTU...
Your best bet is with Mini-Mates...

I like the idea of MOTU building block sets. Personally, I think it should be Mega Bloks instead of Lego or Kre-O. Kre-O belongs to Hasbro, Mattel's direct competition, and quite frankly I hate the Lego bodies due to their lack of articulation or any detail whatsoever. I like what Mega Bloks has done with the Halo license as well as their Marvel figures as well. I think Mega Bloks can make some really good mini figures of the MOTU.
I would love to see lego MOTU and POP. I was going to make some customs after seeing some awesome work on this site. And most of the new mini figs would be easy paint jobs! Look at the Pharoh from the Quest line, so sorceress! The vehicles would be amazing! Talon fighter and Lank Shark! GIMME GIMME!!!

I have many Lego sets and they are top notch. I bought a Kre-O set for my son and I was not impressed at all. The stickers didnt fit right, the construction was not as tight..just not impressed at all. I would buy every set if they made MOTU Legos though..probably not if any other company made them though.

I have many Lego sets as well and would love Lego MOTU. Just imagine a Lego MOTU game, it'd be slapstick and fun but it might be the only way we'd get a MOTU game any time soon.
I'm much more a fan of Playmobil than LEGO. But, alas, Playmobil doesn't normally do licensed products. So it's LEGO all the way. Please, no Kre-O or other LEGO surrogates; give us the original.
LEGO MotU would be awesome, just like LEGO Star Wars (and about the only way to get Eternos Palace or Whispering Woods playsets). So I don't know what they're waiting for—or well, I do: Mattel won't take any risk to promote the MotU brand themselves, and LEGO won't license the brand unless it's previously brought back to the forefront; so there has to be a successful 3rd-party licensed media (i.e., blockbuster movie) for it to happen.

Today's Blind Items
As a guy, this one is extremely painful to write. This A list movie actor who was also a star on television has a scene in a recent movie where he strips down to his underwear. Because of the lighting no one noticed anything amiss. It was only when the movie was being edited that his penile piercing was noticed through the underwear. A large piercing that had to be digitally removed.

Great article, bit I want to see Ray play enough so that this question will not need be asked.
If Garnett is put up than Ray should.
ronit07 says:
When I first read the title,I was thinking.We are chasing banner 20 but then I remembered its banner 18 but I do believe that Sugar ray's no. should hang up there in the rafters!
Without a doubt.
Also, can't wait to hear the jungle on Thursday when Ray hits the 2nd 3-pointer against the Celtics with Reggie in the arena. I wonder what the Celtic's "celebration committee" is planning for the night.
Edu Ellery says:
Hell yeah, without a doubt.
@threetoe. Good call, i've clarified.
I felt like i was saying "celtics history" over and over again, but i understand how someone (not you or me) could get it mixed up.
No question. Put him up there. Nice article
Jenda says:
On one hand I'm convinced his number should be up there, on the other hand that means KG's number as well and that meand Celtics are going to need three digit numbers or pictures instead of numbers very soon. lol
The Coach says:
I think I mentioned in a post last week that if the Celtics can capture that 18th banner with this group then Ray and KG will join Pierce in the rafters. He has been such a terrific Celtic and he understands what it means to be a Celtic...#20 will rise up!
His number will be up there, without a doubt. Luckily for us, Ray is down in the court and he´s gonna make history next thursday...
He also has been remarkably healthy the whole time, KG was out for half a year and through those playoffs... by the way it was in that first round that 30+ year old Ray Allen dropped 50.
Besides what someone's done for the team,isnt hanging a no. way too special to give it to a great player that's been in your team and has given an awful lot, like kevin or even paul? I mean both have been oustanding, with amazing performances.
But ray, he is like perfection, ultimate pureness. Frankly, i think his name should be equivalent to an olympic god's name or something.
If one no. should go up, i think it would have to be ray's.
Phil says:
Pierce going up anyway and Rondo if he sticks around for several more years. But if the Celtics win another championship with Ray and Garnett then I want to see 20 and 5 up there everytime I go to the Garden. I can't see doing one without the other.
I am just saying, i would put pierce mostly because of what he's done to the team. I would put ray up just because he's just brilliant!
JR says:
Only if he wins another ring with us and has a solid year next year. Many people have heard (repeatedly) from me that i feel the Celtics are too liberal in retiring numbers. We should actually be the strictest. I feel that retired #'s should only be for a select handful of elite players. Players who played at least 10 yrs on the C's. You can have a special night for a player, but leave the number in play.
With that said, the bar has been set pretty low with guys like Don Nelson and Cedric Maxwell getting their numbers retired and if Ray wins a 2nd title with those standards his number should be retired. If Ray's # gets retired just know that 5, 9 and 43 will probably all also be unavailable for future Celtics.
Props to Loscy for refusing to have his # retired, so it could be worn by others.
Also Ainge is going to get his # retired and that's a shame. How many all-star games did he make? if your giving him credit for his GM work, well he didn't wear a number on his GM polo, so that's silly.
That bottom pic is awesome.
The one's I'd say might be questionable...
3. Dennis Johnson was a member of 2 Championships, great player, HOF'er, I LOVE him, but I could understand someone questioning him. I say he's in though.
16. Satch Sanders is a career Celtic, a defensive minded guy, played his role, has 8 rings... but only has 8,000 points in 12 seasons. You can say he's our Bruce Bowen. But we have a BUNCH of Bruce Bowens.
19. Don Nelson played 10 years, numbers were okay, wasn't a starter the whole time... but i think Nelly makes it. I put him in because he was in the 60's era, then stayed, and contributed in the 70's era. There are few guys who hung over between decades.
22. Easy Ed Macauley was a great player, all-star, he was the whole Celtics team before Russell. But ultimately he has no rings and was only here 6 years. I say no on Easy Ed.
23. Frank Ramsey was the leagues first sixth man, 7 rings, very important part of the team's first championship. Kentucky Colonel is important... i'm on the edge about him.
25. KC Jones. Defensive minded guard, started after Cousy retired, VERY important. But the numbers don't even come close to warranting a retired number. Maybe later as a coach, but it's a no from me.
31. Cedric Maxwell (and Mikki Moore) I think Max definitely makes it in, Finals MVP, Starter for a championhip, high efficiency, good numbers. Get in there Cornbread.
tb727 says:
KC Jones is in the Hall of Fame as a player, I'm pretty sure. I don't understand that exactly.
I take Ramsey over Satch Sanders. I agree on Ed Macauley.
Mike Saver says:
Semih wears 86 because we have so many numbers retired.
We should retire Semih's number too.
Semih wears 86 cause he's wierd… There are plenty of normal numbers left.
JR says:
isn't 10 retired? why was Ray allowed to wear it in the bottom pic? ;)
I just think there are ways to honor guys without prohibiting the use of a #
Also what a player did on his prior teams should have no bearing. Son in the past 4 season has Ray contributed more ti the Celtics than Rondo? So are we ready to retire Rondo's number?
.chuckT. says:
#20 will be hanging in the Garden.
-He has a championship w/ the C's (hopefully he can win another one or two here)
-He is breaking 3pt records with the C's
I dont think there is any reason why Rays jersey shouldnt be retired after he retires (along with #5 and of course #34).
What about Scal?
Mikki Moore says:
I'm so excited that Boston retired my number (from da first time!) I loved all you in Beantown!
Mike Saver says:
They should retire Joe Johnson's number too
Joe Johnson says:
Yo Mike! They did retire my number man... that's cold dog.
Bohemian says:
They will retire #5,34,20 for sure. 22 years without a championship, many years without playoffs and several years with first round exits...these guys have been VITAL for the franchise in times when the league has got global and bigger than ever. Of course it's well deserved that their numbers are retired. And the same will happen to Rondo's.
We still have plenty of numbers available, and if a player doesn't want to wear #51 or #29 then he is not worth the chance to be a part of this franchise.
Nothing wrong with Erden's #86, it's nice :)
Hilary says:
Yes, yes, yes. Both Ray and KG should have their numbers retired. Ray's individual merits are laid out already. But also...
Bill Russell has talked about how he didn't really want his number retired since it was a team game... but he was OK with it because the Celtics put all the numbers together in a grid on a few banners, so he was still surrounded by his teammates.
Pierce's 34, without question, is going up there. And I want him to be surrounded by his teammates. I don't want to look up and see 34 alone, like it's Pass to Pierce and Pray days. I want to see it near 5 and 20, like it's the return to glory. :)
Retire #20, 5, and 34.
clutch_9 says:
Ray Allen's number should definitely be raised to the rafters.
I think the Celtics have been too lenient with selecting who's numbers to retire. At this pace, before 2018 there will be less than 20 number remaining to use, and then what?
If Ray retire as a Celtic, then we ALL KNOW his number will be raised, as well as Paul's and Kevin's. And if Rondo finishes his career here too the Celtics wouldn't hesitate to but his number in Gold.
They should take down some of the retired numbers, such as Cedric Maxwell [31], KC Jones [25], and Easy Ed Macauley [22]
no way, its be really disrespectful to take down anyone's numbers. but i do think that each of the big 4 merits number retirement

Just as even the brightest, warmest sun must eventually set, the era of bargain real estate in Florida may be coming to an end, experts say.
Florida, which was among the first U.S. states to be hit by the real estate downturn and recession, is finally emerging from its swamp of foreclosures and depressed house prices. Realtors' gut instincts, anecdotes and hard evidence all point to a turnaround under way in the state's home prices - a development that could light a fire under any would-be Canadian snowbirds.
Florida cities took eight spots on the National Association of Realtors' recent list of "Top 10 turnaround towns." Miami - where 60% of all buyers are foreigners and the median house price is US$185,000 - was No. 1. Inventory is disappearing: In Fort Lauderdale, the number of homes listed on the market dropped 42% from 2010 to 2011. And a report commissioned by two Florida real estate firms, the Related Group and International Sales Group, predicted that by the end of this year, the developer-owned condo inventory from the last round of construction, in 2005-'06, will have completely evaporated from the Miami area.
Realtors are trying to recruit potential buyers with the message that anyone thinking of buying a home in Florida ought to look now, because the bargains won't last forever.
"It's actually the best time they're going to have. We've been telling people for about the last year and a half to basically get down there and start looking. If they want to buy something, they should do so sooner rather than later," says Brian Ellis, vice-president of Florida Home Finders. A brokerage based in Vaughan, Ont., it specializes in helping Canadians navigate the real estate market in Florida.
"We are expecting a substantial price bounce in Florida," he says.
Phil Wood, president of John R. Wood Realtors of Naples, Fla., says there have even been multiple offer situations in his Southwest Florida territory, something that was "absolutely not" the case during the worst of the downturn.
Now, with a slow turnaround finally beginning in the U.S. economy, would-be secondhome buyers who had been circling Florida real estate are moving in for the kill.
"The buyers that we're seeing, they're for the most part second-home buyers who have been waiting. They've wanted to be down here for four or five years but all their plans got delayed because of the recession," Mr. Wood says.
Other factors are bringing Americans back into the market: The banks are loosening their lending again. And as Mr. Ellis explains, Americans who walked away from their underwater homes (where they owed more than the home was worth) early in the downturn, around 2007, are now re-emerging with good enough credit to secure mortgages.
"It takes anywhere from four to five years [to come back] if you walked away from your home or were foreclosed on. As long as you've kept your credit good from that time on, you will be cleared to go back to the mortgage market again," he says.
Mr. Wood says Canadians still have a competitive edge in the Sunshine State. "The loonie - I think that's what you call your dollar - has been at or above the [American] dollar for a while now, so a lot of Canadians are looking at that and say-ing, 'I could get real good value down in the States.' "
And Canadians are more likely to have a healthy amount of equity available to pull out of our homes. Not surprisingly, we make up 12% to 15% of John R. Wood Realtors' business.
Florida Home Finders specializes in catering to Canadians, who often lack knowledge of Florida markets. "We find great properties that meet the criteria most Canadians are looking for, and market them here in Canada," Mr. Ellis says.
"We set expectations as well," he continues, "because most Canadians have absolutely no clue about what's really going on in the state of Florida. Setting expectations is one of the biggest things we do."
While many (if not most) Florida homes are still deadly cheap by Canadian standards, wild tales of a feast of foreclosures are an exaggeration. You're simply not going to pick up a dream condo on the waterfront for US$20,000, Mr. Ellis cautions.
Depending on the region, however, Canadians may be surprised at what they can get for $100,000 or $150,000.
Where to look? Whereas many part-time Florida residents enjoy the bustle of the Fort Lauderdale-Miami corridor, the relative tranquility of Southwest Florida - with communities including Fort Myers and Naples - has attracted snowbirds by the flock.
"Quite frankly, the Southwest is where the best deals are right now," Mr. Ellis notes.
Before hunting for those deals, Canadians should be aware that securing a mortgage pre-approval in the United States can take weeks instead of the days Canadians are used to (even through a Florida-based branch of a Canadian bank). So it's crucial to have one's borrowing plans figured out before putting in any offers.
Canadians also have to learn about taxation and immigration issues.
House hunters with intentions of renting out their properties for extra income should also be aware that condo boards often restrict that practice - even when the home is a single-storey, villa-style condo of the kind common in Florida.
Finally, as in Canada, buyers must have a lawyer confirm that a condominium association's finances are in good order. Since the economic downturn, "a lot of them are not in good shape," Mr. Ellis says. The upshot can be a steep increase in condo fees down the road.
Despite potential pitfalls, Mr. Ellis urges Canadians to take serious steps toward buying a piece of the Florida sunshine, if they've ever considered it before. "It's one of those woulda coulda shoulda times," he says.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::

A read of Hurtado's Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity and Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony offer solid credible historical arguments as to how a radically monotheistic Jewish community would so quickly espouse the worship and veneration of Jesus as Divine, despite the fact that this would be considered a huge heretical declaration to Jewish ideals. Bauckham makes a wicked case for the Gospels as accounts of eyewitnesses.
For example, while discussing the reference to Jesus in Josephus' "Antiquities" XVIII.3.4 he dismisses the idea that most of the passage is original to Josephus and was simply added to by Christians as a hopeful theory by "wishful apologists". In fact, it is the majority consensus of most modern scholars. I'm sure eminent non-Christian scholars like Bart Ehrman and Geza Vermes would be amused at being described as "wishful apologists" by this amateur hobbyist.
I'm sure that some will have some problems and claim that there could ahve been some random itinerant rabbi that could have be the kernel for the JC myth but that's *never* the JC that Christians are talking about and worshipping.
Jedweber you should read our book below. It gives you the historical Jesus you asked for.People should make a clear distinction between the Christian Jesus and the historical Jesus. Historical analysis of the new testament can show how and why the Christian Jesus developed from the historical Jesus.It might be helpful if WWGHA put our book on its pdf book page.
Hey Foxy. Just reading over your book. I'm impressed. Just for fun, if you like, I could forward the book to a good aquaintence of mine. He's the Religions Editor at Skeptic Magazine. I'd be interested to see his critique. I'm assuming you would too, but I'll wait for your response.
Now that we have seen that Jesus had no power or knowledge from God, we can ask what did he actually do? We know for certain that he was executed by the Romans who made Israel a part of the Roman Empire. Jesus was executed on a Roman cross and his crime was written on the cross.
The usual atheist BS, devoid of facts, replete with spelling errors. Atheists suck.
Ice, LOLThe scene from monty python Brian with at least a dozen criminals lining up for crosses could also work.
Our book mentions that chimpanzees are moral without god or religion. There are photos like this online of a chimpanzee feeding a tiger cub from a bottle. Someone might like to use them in their debates. http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/files/2011/07/chimp-tiger-this-340.jpg
We are just idiots who didn't know how to delete it
No atheist should fear the results of historical research on the bible as a halfway house to Christianity.
I think some atheists do fear to admit that there was a crucifixion because they think it necessarily implies a resurrection.
I did say that one does not necessarily follow from the other.
I think some atheists do fear to admit that there was a crucifixion because they think it necessarily implies a resurrection.
I could cite other reasons why the crucifixion does not imply resurrection but that would lead on to the whole content of a degree course in individual discussion. Reference material is better for that.

A local organization is preparing for their annual fundraiser, with the money raised to go to a good cause.
JOPLIN — A local organization is preparing for their annual fundraiser, with the money raised to go to a good cause.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6, the Southwest Missouri Arthritis Association will host their annual chili/soup luncheon event at 819 E. Ninth St., Joplin. The lunch will include homemade chili, soup, dessert and drink all for $5 and is open to everyone.
"Franklin Technology has catering classes. We buy all of the ingredients, they make the chili, they make the vegetable soup and they put it all together for us," said Ilene Bates, office manager/grant writer for the organization. "(The money raised) is actually used to replace some of the equipment. We are not really affiliated with arthritis (organization), 28 years ago; we sort of changed our mission, but never changed our name. What we really do is we rent medical equipment to people to make their lives easier at home when they get home from a hospital and it helps their caregivers as well. And the medical equipment is rented on a monthly basis, very, very low price. So what the fundraiser does is enables us to replace some of the worn and used equipment so that we will have the equipment that is new, clean and safe and ready to go."
According to the organization's mission statement, "is to offer support to people with disabilities temporary or permanent by providing medical equipment to facilitate a more functional and comfortable home environment."
"It is difficult when people go home from a hospital and they can't get around for several weeks and maybe they need walkers or commodes or shower chairs or electric beds, we rent all sorts of things," Bates said. "So it is really important that they have enough equipment at home to make their stay at home comfortable. And it really helps their caregivers as well."
Even though they are not directly associated with the National Arthritis Association, they do have information they can pass along to those needing information about arthritis and other various diseases.
"That is a difficulty, most people know who we are or what we do, all they know is arthritis association and if they don't have arthritis, it never occurs to them that we might have a service to help them," Bates said. "Which is the main purpose for us to change our name. Because we want people to know who we are and what we do. And we want to be able to help them and they don't know that we are here."
The non-profit organization helps anybody with any disability, any age, whether it's short term or long term.
"Any need for any kind of medical equipment to make their life easier, that is who we serve," Bates added.
Getting back to the fundraiser, Bates said the attendance was, "we used to have a newsletter that went out to several for green infrastructure, and that a presentation be made to the city once the study is completed.
hundred people and so the response was terrific and hundreds of people would show. But we have not had that newsletter since St. John's Hospital got destroyed, they used to do it for us. This will be our second year without it. The turnout has been a lot less, because fewer people know, but we are trying to build it back up."

TUSCALOOSA | Tuscaloosa County resident Sherry Hassell tried to help a hungry stray dog in December by calling the Tuscaloosa County animal control. The problem was, she said, it took more than three weeks for an animal control worker to call her back.
TUSCALOOSA | Tuscaloosa County resident Sherry Hassell tried to help a hungry stray dog in December by calling the Tuscaloosa County animal control.
The problem was, she said, it took more than three weeks for an animal control worker to call her back.
It was partly because of confusion about how to contact animal control, since that department is no longer being handled by the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Hassell said.
The other problem: There is one full-time and one part-time animal control officer on duty for the county. It's just not enough to serve the county well, Hassell said.
"It was a mess, a real mess," Hassell said.
A local group — Alliance for Animal Welfare — has been formed to work with county leaders, with the group's goal to improve the county's animal control service. The group has secured more than 900 signatures on a petition asking the Tuscaloosa County Commission to dedicate more money to animal control so that additional officers can be hired. According to Hassell, in addition to the lack of animal control officers, the cages used to transport animals in the backs of animal trucks are not covered from the weather. She said the department needs better equipment.
The Alliance for Animal Welfare will meet with Jim Patrie, who heads up animal control for the county, and County Commissioners Jerry Tingle and Reginald Murray on March 19 to discuss their complaints.
"Right now, it's just the review stage," Tingle said. "We will go over the information they have and look at all the areas, including manpower and the equipment."
Patrie said the county is already expanding animal control services to fill the void. The county has ordered a new truck for animal control and has selected a retired law enforcement officer who has a background in animal control to serve as a new part-time officer, Patrie said. He will begin later this month, Patrie said.
Later this year, Patrie said he would like to hire a full-time animal control officer so the county has two who work full time and one who works part-time.
"We are busy. We inherited this position and duty when (Sheriff Ted Sexton) handed it back to the county out of the clear blue," Patrie said. "We had to scramble and get some men signed on, we were able to do that and get them outfitted and now we see where we are."
The County Commission gave the Sheriff's Office funding to handle animal control calls in 1997. In December 2010, Sexton shifted all animal calls to the commission office after the deputy who had handled animal control for the Sheriff's Office was unable to continue performing those duties.
In April 2011, the commission established an animal control division under Patrie, the solid waste director. But at the time, the sheriff agreed to continue handling vicious animal calls, while the commission would handle calls involving stray animals.
Sexton's decision to quit handling vicious animals and abuse cases came in early 2012 after commissioners questioned why deputies were not dispatched to a vicious animal call in Coker. Animal control officers responded and eventually captured a dog that had attacked a child who was getting off a school bus.
Patrie's office under the County Commission is now handling all animal control calls. If there is a problem with an animal, call 205-464-8225.
The Alliance for Animal Welfare's next meeting will be held at the community room at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Tuscaloosa Police Department, 3801 Mill Creek Ave. Rhonda Parker of Alabama Voters for Responsible Animal Legislation will speak to the group. The meeting is open to the public, Hassell said.
Reach Lydia Seabol Avant at 205-722-0222 or email@example.com.

On the day he took over leadership of the Colorado football program, Mike MacIntyre did what his three predecessors should have done when they were in his shoes.
Gary Barnett promised a return to dominance. Dan Hawkins talked about Heisman Trophies and national championships and Hawk Love. Jon Embree promised to restore traditions and establish an identity.
MacIntyre kept it simple Monday.
"My slogan is no excuses no regrets," MacIntyre said. "Find a way. If you can't do it that way, we've got to find another way to be successful."
It is the basic mantra he used to raise San Jose State from the scrap heap of college football to a 10-win season this fall and a No. 24 national ranking in every major poll in just three years.
Colorado's new football coach laughed and nearly cried during his introductory press conference on the club level at Folsom Field. The 47-year-old exuded confidence in his ability to turn around the struggling CU program, referencing the fact that he's done it before. He teared up briefly when asked about the influence of his father, George, a former college coach, on his life and career.
George MacIntyre, who is battling multiple sclerosis at age 73, was undoubtedly proud beyond measure on the day his son became the highest paid CU coach in history agreeing to a five-year contract paying him $2 million per year, which is more than four times as much as the $450,000 he made coaching the San Jose State Spartans this season.
"I'm honored to be a Pac-12 coach," MacIntyre said. "All my life I've wanted to be a football coach. I grew up a coach's son. It's in my blood."
The contract also includes clauses requiring the school to meet certain deadlines in the process of beginning major facilities additions and enhancements in and around Folsom Field. MacIntyre said the clauses were vital to his decision to take the job because they showed commitment to winning from the school. Colorado will also pay a $400,000 buyout to San Jose State to fulfill a buyout clause in MacIntyre's contract there.
MacIntyre thanked his new bosses -- President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Phil DiStefano and athletic director Mike Bohn -- for the opportunity to coach a program he says he has admired since he was a high school and college player in the 1980s. He made one promise during his press conference and it was directed at those three men and the thousands of Buffs fans they represent.
"I will make you proud. I promise you," MacIntyre said. "We will work tirelessly. We will work correctly and we will work with passion. I think as you get to know me, you will say one thing about Mike MacIntyre, 'He has passion.' You might say some other things, but you're going to say I have passion."
The hiring concluded a two-week search for the 25th full-time coach in CU history. It was a process that was surreal at times and included multiple interviews and one very public rejection before finally concluding with a man who seemed to fit in well during his first day in Boulder. He had never been to the town before, though he has been to Colorado multiple times for both work and pleasure.
"There is no question about it," Bohn said. "We've hired a football coach that all Buffs can stand shoulder to shoulder with. We couldn't be prouder of Mike and his family. He's a fit with our guiding principles and our high academic standards.
"He's a proven recruiter, a teacher and a leader who executes a plan to build a fundamentally strong program."
MacIntyre also was straightforward in describing the kind of football CU fans can expect to see on Saturdays next fall and in years to come. His offense will use a Pistol formation with spread principles while utilizing multiple personnel groups.
"I want to be able to have a run-play action conflict on the defense," MacIntyre said.
He said his system of using multiple personnel groups and playing a lot of players is modeled after Boise State.
"When you play more people, more personnel groups you have more happy kids," MacIntyre said. "They practice harder. They do better in class. They play harder. You have better production."
The Buffs will use a 4-3 defense with a lot of 4-2-5 principles under their new coaches. It is designed to best combat the dynamic offenses playing spread schemes and powerful pro-style attacks of the Pac-12 .
MacIntyre said his defense can be accurately compared to Texas Christian. It's one that gets after the quarterback. He said last year the Spartans had the three leaders in sacks in the Western Athletic Conference along with the player with the sixth best sack total.
CU players met with their new coach for more than 30 minutes prior to his press conference. They emerged from the meeting with generally positive things to say about what they heard from him. Defensive back Parker Orms said he liked that MacIntyre isn't acting like it's a rebuilding project. He told the players they can win now.
"He's a guy who wants to win now and that's what he basically preached to us that it can happen right away, but it's a process," Orms said.
Colorado hasn't had a winning season since 2005 and has been to only one bowl game in the past seven years. The Buffs are coming off a 1-11 season viewed as the worst in the modern era of the program. Why does MacIntyre believe he can win right away with largely the same players who produced the results this season?
"If you don't believe you can win, you're not going to win," MacIntyre said. "Now, will we win every game? I don't know. ...They better believe they can win."
MacIntyre's first test in his new job is still nine months away. He has recruiting concerns, a coaching staff to assemble, spring football to plan and hundreds of much smaller tasks in front of him.
"Yes, we've got a long way to go, but I've been there before and I know what to do," he said.

Frequently asked questions
Charts > General
- What
is a chart or horoscope drawing?
A horoscope drawing (chart) is a map of the heavens and shows where the Sun, Moon and planets were at a particular time and place. Originally, the term meant "View of the Hour", and showed the distribution of the heavenly bodies around the Earth at a given moment, seen from some point on the Earth. The signs of the Zodiac are projected onto the heavens, in the shape of a sort of 'Zodiacal Belt' around the Earth. Since the Earth continually rotates, there is always an astrological sign rising in the East. This is called the rising sign, or Ascendant.
The horizontal line dividing the chart into an upper and a lower half represents the horizon - some planets will be above the horizon, some below. Here we can also see what sign and planets are ascending (AC) or descending (DC). The vertical or near-vertical line shows the highest point (MC) in the sphere and the lowest (IC). The segments between these lines are called houses. These show a mathematical division of the space around us into segments. The drawing also shows the relationships between the Sun, Moon and planets; special angles between them are called aspects and are shown by coloured lines.
This "view of the heavens" is the basis for any astrological chart interpretation. It has become common practice to call the actual interpretation of a chart a "horoscope".
Do you give permission to publish your charts on other
You have permission to store personal charts or VIP charts of public interest as images (PNG, PDF, GIF, SVG, SVGZ) on your local computer, and to publish such images on other websites or news groups.
This must be for private and/or educational purposes, i.e. you must not offer an astrological public service based on such charts.
- How
can I see in my chart if my Mercury and Venus are morning or evening
Mercury or Venus is a morning star if this planet follows the Sun in the zodiac, i.e. is behind the Sun. It is an evening star if it precedes the Sun.
For example:
If the Sun is at 1° Aries and Mercury at 20° Pisces, Mercury is a morning star.
If the Sun is at 1° Aries and Mercury at 12° Aries, Mercury is an evening star.
The same rule applies to Venus.

Three finalists for Heisman Trophy announced
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o were named the three finalists for the 2012 Heisman Trophy in an announcement made Monday.
Those three players have been invited to New York to be on hand for the 78th annual Heisman Trophy presentation on Saturday at the Downtown Athletic Club.
The number of finalists varies from year to year, although in recent years, more than three usually have been invited to the presentation ceremony.
Manziel, a redshirt freshman, could become the first freshman to win the award. He threw for 3,419 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also ran for 1,181 yards and 19 scores for the 10-2 Aggies.
Klein has led the Wildcats to an 11-1 season, a share of the Big 12 title and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl. Also a dual-threat quarterback, Klein has amassed 3,380 total yards and 37 touchdowns.
Te'o is attempting to become just the second defensive player to win the Heisman, joining Charles Woodson, who won the award in 1997 as a defensive back for Michigan.
Te'o has seven interceptions and 101 tackles for the No. 1-ranked Irish (12-0), who play Alabama in the national championship game.

"Why have you got pictures of Hitler on your bulletin board?"
I explained to the deliveryman that I do not have pictures of Hitler on my bulletin board. He was, in fact, looking at someone else of the same generation. I don't think I convinced him, but he shrugged and went away, leaving me with two melancholy thoughts.
One of these is perennial, and has been written about extensively over the past, oh, three thousand years. "They don't look alike: the mustaches aren't even close to being alike," I thought. "What ARE they teaching in the schools these days?"
The other thought, more specific to the time and place, was "Running gags die after a while, don't they?"
See, the reason I have these two portraits of Thomas Mann on the bulletin board is that, once upon a time, the Book Fair was always getting first editions of his books, especially his later books. We would set these aside to check their current market value. In those days, this was a matter of sitting down with a list or a stack of books and reading through reference books and dealer catalogs, a rather more cumbersome affair than going to the computer and punching in titles at a website.
And the Thomas Mann first editions we were being given were never the valuable ones. Thomas Mann, in fact, was such a bad investment of time that he became a running joke. "And here's a first edition of Thomas Mann!" someone would cry.
And someone else would shout, "Good! YOU look it up!"
So when we found these pages torn from magazines with his picture on them, we tacked them up. It was funny at the time. I'm the last one around who remembers the gag, and Thomas Mann first editions have been moving up in market value, making the joke even harder to explain. But Thomas Mann seems to me a reasonable pin-up for a Book Fair, so he retains his space on the board.
Once upon another time, we had a very hardworking volunteer who was a joy to be around except when she got on the subject of Books You Shouldn't Sell. She was adamant that we were wasting our space on outmoded fiction. "No yuppie buys a novel over five years old," she'd say. "Throw those away and make room for new books!"
I would explain my theory of the three Franks: that there has to be a place where a nostalgic soul could buy bygone bestsellers like Frank Slaughter, Frank Schoonover, and Frank Yerby. (I was confusing artist Frank Schoonover with bestselling author Lawrence Schoonover, but she didn't know that.)
And she would wrinkle her nose—she wrinkled her nose beautifully—and tell me, "For fifty cents, the hell with Frank Yerby."
I cannot to this day price a fine old bodice-ripper without thinking of her, and of the customer who confounded her at the Book Fair by asking where the Frank Yerby novels were, as he was writing his dissertation on the author. "Ha!" I say, "Here's a Frank Yerby for the yuppies", even though the yuppies have all become grumpies (GRownUp Middleaged People) and the volunteer herself long ago went where she wrinkles her nose at little angels swinging on the pearly gates.
In fact, for quite some time now, I have been putting Frank Yerby into Hardback Literature M-Z, where he rubs elbows with Thomas Mann. This allows you to pick up two ancient running gags at one stop. (You do still need to go to Hardback Fiction M-Z for The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.)

The two candidates vying to represent South Jeffco in Congress met at a nonpartisan candidate forum sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women on Oct. 9.
Incumbent Diana DeGette was first elected in the heavily Democratic 1st District in 1996 and has won re-election every other year since. But with congressional redistricting last year, DeGette's territory now includes the decidedly less liberal areas of South Jeffco.

Greg Gates, general manager of Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, who died suddenly on Jan. 11 at age 60, will be remembered as a guardian of the Jewish tradition.
Gates, who is not Jewish, began working at Benjamin's 40 years ago as a junior funeral director. He died of a heart attack on his way home from work. He lived in Barrie with his wife of 38 years, Joan, and their son, Gary, 20.
Michael Benjamin, president of the funeral chapel, said Gates was so familiar with Jewish traditions that people frequently mistook him for being Jewish and sometimes even thought he was a rabbi.
"He was compassionate, caring, loyal, and dedicated to the families. He comes from the 'old school' and this was his calling."
Benjamin said Gates' funeral was in Sarnia, where Gates was from. More than 30 staff members, former Benjamin's employees and some rabbis attended. "He really touched people."
Rabbi Philip Scheim, spiritual leader of Beth David B'nai Israel Beth Am Congregation, wrote on Benjamin's website that he was privileged to know Gates for more than 30 years.
"For families in their hours of grief, for colleagues and clergy working with him, he was invariably the right man in the right place at the right time. He combined sensitivity with competency, understanding and efficiency," Rabbi Scheim wrote.
"His gentle, yet authoritative voice provided comfort and direction in numerous circumstances. I add my name to the long list of those who will miss him greatly."
Howard Mammon, executive director of Toronto Hebrew Memorial Parks, wrote on the website that they often worked together during difficult circumstances. "His professionalism, sensitivity and care for the families we both served were exemplary," Mammon said.
Mammon, who met with Gates a few hours before his death, said that he "appreciated his insights on various issues affecting the bereavement sector."
Joan Gates said in an interview that her husband was passionate about his own family and about the Benjamin's family.
"We were married for 15 years before our 'miracle' baby was born, and Greg was the perfect father. Anyone who knew him knew about Gary."
Gates said that her husband was a happy man. "He loved his work and he loved us. He didn't need anything else," she said.
"I take comfort that he left his mark. When we had Gary, my first call was from a rabbi to congratulate us, and when Greg died, [one of the first calls] was from a rabbi."
When her husband was on call and people would call in the middle of the night, she said, "he was kind and compassionate. He would put them at ease, and he told them he was always there. They often called back just to talk a little more."
Besides his wife and son, Gates leaves his brother and sister-in-law John and Heather.

Married life so far has been great. Things are still pretty busy but I can't say I have anything to complain about. TDS has discovered her love of cooking and let me tell you, she's been cooking up some delicious dishes! Marriage life puts on about 15lbs. LOL!
How's everyone else?
Thanks, much appreciated!... Interview went well, job was mine if I wanted it, but the pay was ****ing garbage. And I mean, GARBAGE!
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to take off & do something interesting. I'm trying to get into Grad-school for next fall, and to do that I need work experience. Soooo, we keep on truckin' it.
Glad to hear you guys are doing well. Give her my best!... Nothing like some home-cookin' either. Y'all need to hook me up w/ a box full of viddles, and a bikini waxing.
I talked to Trans a week or so ago. He's still....Trans. lol

Wow, you grew up in a hurry!!! What are you doing nowadays?Originally Posted by BTAutoMag
No worries about those parts...I think I'll eventually order them from the AGD store. Hopefully it won't be too expensive. But yeah, go back out and play! I went on the 31st with my son and we had a ton of fun. I'd like to take him out again soon since we still have a case of paint left.
lol, well as of right now I'm a "retired" auto technition. Went to college for it, ASE certified and then my body fell apart from under me cause I worked hard at it. then I became closing manager at a local auto parts store and from there found a second job doing custom interrior work on cars. nice slow pace and I take alot of satisfaction in my work.
bump lol.
I miss you guys... and Yvonne
I must be getting old - I swear I thought I'd last posted here Fall of 2012...turns out it was 2011!
Tell ya what folks, we need a meetup one of these days. Just saying.
we need gibby and TDS back
Sounds like a TunaBall Date
me and gibby actually played an EPIC prank on TDS. I called her up and he let it go to voicemail...
I then (pretending to cry) confessed my undying love for her and how I dont know how I could be without her and that I was saving for a plane ticket and would camp in their front yard until she understood.
gibby said she was freaking out until he broke down laughing
Haha! Awesome!
****, it's been 10 years at this point (holy crap!), but she left me a voicemail confirming my bikini waxing appointment. I suppose it was funnier at the time, as there was some backstory to it that I cannot recall. I'm sure Gibs was involved, and probably had to do with my unending torment of him.
Haven't talked to Trans in a while either. I hope he's not dead, I always liked that kid.
Holy ****.... This has to be the largest AO thread there is.
what random posts, we're giving Yvonne some spirit
I think it was only moved to the historic posts because if it was in any other forum it would be at the top to much... when was the last time TDS checked in on this forum anyway?
Apparently 2006. BT is this your secret for having so many posts?

no, but ive been here a long time
Keep spreading that AO spirit!
While I'm thinking about it, I think I'm going to sell my Emag...we're talking pre-ULE days, non-milled, Warp feed, etc. Doesn't look to be much activity on them these days (here or Ebay). Anywhere else I could get some more traffic?
youll be able to sell it here.
I reckon I should pull that puppy out tonight & take some photos. Part of me doesn't want to sell it. I'm such a pack rat. It'll be worth it though, it's not like it ever gets used anymore. I've still got my classic mag in case the need arises. Such is the price we pay when finishing an AR build in this market.
Under butt nut hut <------ had to add to the randomness of this thread.
I'd keep it around you never know when you'll get that itch to play again, or just to tinker around.

You don't believe most people when they say they dined and dashed only because they forgot to pay the bill.
When Britney Spears says she forgot, you tend to believe her.
You'd probably believe it if she put food in her mouth and forgot to chew.
Actually, it was Spears' security guard -- she says -- who forgot to pay the lunch bill the other day at the Cheesecake Factory in Thousand Oaks, according to TMZ. Spears and boyfriend David Lucado enjoyed an appetizer and a salad.
Spears reportedly said that when the waitress presented the bill, the singer said her security guy would pay. She then took her doggie bag and left.
Except the security guy thought Spears had paid the bill.
Spears' people told TMZ she feels "horrible" and it was an honest mistake.

Real estate attorney Nancy Walsh Law is campaigning to be 2013 Woman of the Year for the Delaware Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Law held an event for the cause at Six Paupers Tavern Wednesday night and took some time to discuss her involvement in the organization.
On March 28, the Delaware Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society kicked off its annual Man and Woman of the Year contest, a campaign that is pitting 14 community movers and shakers against one another for a noble goal.
Collectively, their ambition is to raise money and awareness for blood cancer. Individually, each candidate wants to do the most. And, there's a lot to do. Over the course of the 10-week crusade, each nominee mush spread the mission of LLS through letter writing, special events, social media and local outreach.
Nancy Walsh Law of Hockessin is one of the Delaware nominees. For more than a month now, she has been doing her best to raise money and spread the word about the devastating effects that cancer can have on a person, the person's family and a community. On Wednesday night, she hosted a guest bartending event at Six Paupers Tavern. Her team of bartenders included more than a dozen people who all want to see Law be successful.
This week, in what little spare time this local attorney has, Law took a few moments to discuss her involvement with LLS and just what she hopes to accomplish with her campaign.
Q How did you get involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society?
A Last year, I was a guest bartender for Eric Braunstein's Man of the Year Campaign - that is how I first heard about LLS. Then, earlier this year, my friend and colleague Shana Delcollo asked me to run. I thought she should run but she convinced me to do it and nominated me.
Q The goal is to raise money and awareness, right? How much money have you raised so far?
A My goal is raise 5 figures and I am in 4 figures right now. I hope between our last few events at Six Paupers and our golf outing at Deerfield next week that I will accomplish that.
Q So, how did the event at Six Paupers come about?
A Like I said, I attended a guest bartending event there last year. It was really well-attended. So, when I decided to run this year, I thought it would also be a great location for some of my events. We live near Six Paupers as do a lot of our friends and family so we thought it would draw a number of people. I am also friends with one of the owners and he was nice enough to allow us to host our event there. Wednesday night's event turned out great. I would guess that we had about 100 people there throughout the night.
Q You got involved to assist LLS with its efforts. What are you getting out of this experience, though?
A First and foremost, inspiration. The two children that we all are running on behalf of – James and Layton, the Boy and Girl of the Year, who are also local blood cancer survivors – truly inspire me. So do their parents. Knowing what they have gone through is amazing. Anything I can do to help them is absolutely worth my time and effort. I also want my daughters to see firsthand the importance of volunteering and "making" money, not for yourself but for others. I'm also learning just how good people are. We have a fabulous team and this campaign has, by no means, been an individual effort. Without the help of the team, this couldn't be done. I hope they all – Shana Delcollo, Diane Dalvatore, Roz Williams, Sim Sinko-Borges and Paula Witherow – know how much I appreciate them. Also, my law firm Ward and Taylor, LLC has been extremely supportive, holding events and raising money for the cause. In May, $5 from every real estate settlement we handle will even be donated to LLS.
