Harden, Rockets send Pistons to 0-7
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Rockets knew they needed to get back on track Saturday night after three straight losses.
When they learned they'd be without coach Kevin McHale against Detroit, they were even more determined to break the losing streak.
Harden scored 20 points, Omer Asik had 14 and the Rockets beat the winless Pistons 96-82 in their first game without McHale.
The team announced earlier Saturday that McHale was taking an immediate leave of absence to deal with a family matter.
Assistant coach Kelvin Sampson took over, and said before the game that he hoped the team would come together to win for McHale.
The Rockets did just that, using a third-quarter run to build a big lead and go on to their first victory at home. The Pistons fell to 0-7.
"It was good for us to come out here and get a win, especially for coach McHale and what he's going through," Harden said.
Jeremy Lin said it was a bit strange to play without McHale in charge of the team.
"It was definitely different," Lin said. "He's our leader. He's our voice. But coach Sampson did a good job coming in, and we played hard. Obviously we can't wait for coach McHale to come back. Everybody around here loves him to death."
Brandon Knight scored 16 points for Detroit and Greg Monroe added 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Detroit scored five quick points to get within four midway through the third quarter. The Rockets responded with an 11-2 spurt highlighted by six points from Harden to make it 69-56 with less than four minutes left in the period.
Harden was fouled on a layup he made after a nifty assist from Lin during that run. Harden slapped the padded part of the goal after the shot, and promptly knocked down the free throw for the three-point play.
Sampson, who was a longtime college coach before moving to the NBA, acknowledged that it felt odd to be working as a head coach again for the first time since 2008.
"I was nervous at first," he said. "I kept tonight in perspective. I kept thinking of Kevin and his family and what he's going through. That's something far more important than me coaching a game for the first time in (almost) five years."
Houston padded its lead by scoring the first eight points of the fourth quarter. Detroit couldn't do anything offensively in the fourth quarter and missed its first 10 shots.
The Pistons didn't score in the quarter until Knight's jump shot with six minutes remaining made it 80-59.
"There was no offensive energy out there at all," Detroit coach Lawrence Frank said. "We didn't even give ourselves a chance during that run. I don't make excuses why because I know we're capable of doing more."
Detroit's Tayshaun Prince, who scored 13 points, was unhappy with the team's performance.
"The way we are playing right now is unacceptable," he said. "Guys should be upset right now."
Houston came in averaging almost 20 turnovers a game but had a season-low 14 against Detroit.
This was the second meeting between these teams this season. Harden scored 37 points and had 12 assists in a 105-96 victory in his debut with the Rockets on Oct. 31 after a trade from Oklahoma City days earlier.
Marcus Morris added 12 points for Houston and Toney Douglas had 11. Lin helped out with seven points, eight assists and four rebounds.
Houston was up 72-57 entering the fourth quarter.
The Rockets were up by five at the end of the first quarter, and used a 14-7 run capped by a 3-pointer from Douglas to open the second quarter and extend the lead to 34-22.
Houston's lead was 15 points late in the second quarter before Detroit scored nine straight points to end the period and cut the Rockets' lead to 47-41 at halftime.
NOTES: Houston rookies Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas made their NBA debuts on Saturday night. Jones had five points and two blocks and Motiejunas had three points . … Houston's Chandler Parsons has made at least one 3-pointer in each game this season. … There is no timetable for McHale's return.

Free Agent News
Earlier this week, the Phillies declined the option on JC Romero's contract, thus rendering him a free agent. Romero can still return, but it would have to be at a price both parties agree on. Left-handed- relievers are not growing on trees, so hopefully, they can work something out. Romero's control should be much improved next year as his arm, which was operated on last off-season, has more time to gain strength.
As for Greg Dobbs and Jamie Moyer, it is likely the end of the line. Neither were offered contracts and both opted for free agency.
Dobbs had a few good years with the Phillies off the bench but his numbers declined this year with his lack of playing time. Dobbs is a super-nice guy and his personality will be missed…plus, the team just got a little bit uglier without him around ;o)
Moyer missed most of this year with an injury and has had multiple surgeries between last off-season and this year. Add his age to that, 48 next month, and it may be hard for Moyer to find a new home. Moyer is a class act and I wish him luck.
Today, Placido Polanco will have surgery on his elbow due to bone fragments and tendinitis, which he played with most of the year after getting hit by a pitch. The expected recovery time is 8-10 weeks, so he should be good to go by Spring Training. Polly hit .298 this year, despite playing through immense pain and enduring 4 cortisone injections. I cannot wait to see what he does when he is healthy.
So, have you all been watching the World Series? Actually, it has been less of a series and more of a tar and feathering of the Texas Rangers so far. Cliff Lee got absolutely destroyed by the Giants in Game 1, allowing 7 runs over 4 2/3 innings. Before that game, Lee said about the Phillies, "I didn't mind seeing them get beat, either, just because they got rid of me." Call it baseball karma if you like. I admire the man for being honest, but the comments certainly did not help him on the mound.
The Giants walked, lirerally, all over the Rangers again in Game 2 and won by a score of 9-0. The Rangers bullpen allowed 4 walks in a row in the 8th inning…that has to be some kind of World Series record. Former Phillie Aaron Rowand had a big hit in that inning after the walks with a 2-run triple. The Rangers are down 2 games to none; Game 3 is on Saturday.
Does this make Phillies fans feel a little better about being pounded by the Giants? Ok, maybe a little. I guess I have to revise my initial prediction though….Lee will NOT be the MVP. And it looks more like Giants in 6 than Rangers in 6. Although, stranger things have happened. We shall see…

text: What Is The Best Way To Steep My Tea? Steven Popec (0) Experienced loose leaf tea drinkers know that the right brewing process is critical to making the perfect cup of tea. Steeping tea for too long can make it too bitter, while not steeping it for long enough can lead to a thin and watery taste. Just how long should you steep tea in order to make the perfect cup? What kinds of water should you use? Steeping methods vary around the world, but there are some general rules to follow. Before steeping First, make sure you start steeping process of your loose tea with fresh cold water. Cold water has more oxygen in it, and oxygen helps draw out the flavor of tea. To preserve as much oxygen as possible, make sure you pour the water as soon as it starts to boil. Letting the water boil for too long will allow oxygen to escape. Contrary to what many believe, you don't have to boil water in order to make a perfect cup of tea. In fact, only black tea should be brewed with boiling water. If you're brewing oolong tea, try to pour the water just before it reaches its boiling point. For green tea, pour the water when it reaches approximately 180F. At cooler temperatures, green tea tends to release more flavor and less bitterness. Many tea experts recommend using filtered water to brew tea. Those who live in big cities often have chemicals in the water that can destroy the delicate flavors within complex tea blends. If you want your tea flavor to be as pure as possible, then it's best to use filtered water. During steeping After pouring the heated water into the kettle, timing becomes very important. Different types of tea are steeped for different amounts of time. Black tea: Steep for approximately 4 to 5 minutes Oolong tea: Steep for about 2 to 3 minutes or 4 to 5 minutes, depending on stage of oxidation. Green tea: Steep for about 2 to 3 minutes. If you want your tea to be stronger, let it steep for closer to the maximum range using more tea leaves. Leaving it beyond that range will cause it to be overly bitter and not as tasty. Many people believe that steeping their tea for longer will make it have a richer flavor. This is not always true. The best way to extract more flavor from your tea is to add more tea. In general, one heaping spoonful of tea per 6oz tea cup is enough. Add more if you want more flavor. Other methods The method we've listed above is the traditional method of brewing tea. However, it's not the only method. Some people brew tea using a special Chinese 'Gonfu' method, while others used a Guywan system. Some of these methods require special equipment and unique blends of tea leaves. They lead to slightly unique tea flavors that complement different blends of tea. Ultimately, you need to choose the tea steeping method that works for you. Some people like their tea flavored using a certain method, while others can't tell the difference. Test out a few different methods to see which one you prefer most. facebook twitter google+ email

Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim–better known as HAIM–have a hard time believing they actually have fans. "We think it's our mom buying all the tickets to our shows," Este, the eldest, said. "And then distributing them to all our friends."
But alas, it's not Mama Haim who's helping them sell out venues all over the world. These ladies managed to drum-up interest in their band all on their own the good ol' fashioned way: opening up for over 20 different bands including Mumford and Sons, Florence + the Machine and Rihanna.
Though their rigorous touring schedule caused them to delay the release of their debut, Days Are Gone—which is finally coming out on September 24–it ended up earning them a fan in Jay Z, who added them to the Roc Nation roster.
Ask the Haim sisters how they got the news about being signed to Hov's label and they'll joke that they got a call on their magical bedazzled Jay Z phone. "The ringtone is 'Brush Your Shoulders Off,'" Alana said. In reality their manager was signed to Roc Nation and they followed him over. But the man they just call Jay was more than happy to have them.
"We honestly didn't expect him to even know the first syllable of our band name," Alana said about the first time she met her boss. "But he was just so nice. He just said like, 'You guys just know what you're doing. We're just really excited that you want to be a part of the company.'"

even as Google threatens
to pull out of the Chinese search business completely, shutting
down Google.cn, the U.S.
government has stepped up to the plate challenging China to listen to
the concerns of Google and other firms. U.S. Senator Hillary
Clinton delivered sharp remarks criticizing China's duality of
cyber-lawlessness and harsh censorship of certain materials.
China is responding indignantly to the criticism. A
spokesperson for China's State Council Information Office, the
organization that helps to filter China's internet traffic addressed
the U.S. governments criticism, remarking, "[China] bans using
the Internet to subvert state power and wreck national unity, to
incite ethnic hatred and division, to promote cults and to distribute
content that is pornographic, salacious, violent or terrorist.
China has an ample legal basis for punishing such harmful content,
and there is no room for doubting this. This is completely different
from so-called restriction of Internet freedom."
response aired Monday on China's state run government website,
has an internet population of over
384 million, but it continues to tightly control the content its
users can view, filtering traffic through a system that is dubbed
"The Great Firewall" by U.S. observers. Additionally,
over 120 million users in China access the web from their mobile
devices, adding a new challenge for internet censors.
dispute with the U.S. however, may be a sign of tensions outside the
tech arena boiling over. The U.S. recently announced that it
would be selling modern weapons to Taiwan, a renegade state that
China still insists it owns. U.S. President Barack Obama will
also meet with the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled Buddhist leader, in
coming months. Despite his dogma of pacifism, Chinese officials
call the Dalai Lama a dangerous extremist for promoting Tibetan
Jin Canrong, a professor of international
relations at Renmin University in Beijing, comments, "This year,
we're seeing problems over trade, the Dalai Lama, and U.S. weapons
sales to Taiwan coming to the surface. The politicization and
ideological turn of the Google case could make it more difficult to
work together. The basic need for cooperation, economically and
diplomatically, hasn't changed, but each of these issues could
disrupt cooperation from day to day."
Tibet is one of the
key issues that is chilling relations between the U.S. and China.
Another is signs of censorship and oppression stemming from internet
activity. Late last, year a Chinese blogger and author Liu
Xiabo was sentenced to 11 years in prison for spreading subversive
writings on the internet. China has banned a variety of U.S.
websites including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook in recent
China's government denies that the Google attacks
originated from within Chinese borders. And state-run Chinese
newspapers on Monday blasted
the U.S. as hypocritical. Editorials accused the U.S. of
exploiting video-sharing site YouTube and micro-blogging site Twitter
to drive unrest in Iran. They also point to current and pending
legislation on the U.S. state and national level that would impose
government filters on the internet content that minors can view.
Proclaims one column, "This 'Internet freedom' that is being
promoted everywhere is nothing more than a foreign policy tool, a
fantasy of freedom."

Krystle Manning said she was just carrying on a family tradition when she entered the Arkansas Scholarship competition.
Manning's grandmother owned the flower shop for 22 years before selling to Manning's parents. Manning's dad, Joe Turner, was the 2001 president of the Arkansas Floral Board of Directors.
Manning won second overall in the scholarship competition and first in the funeral category and her co-worker, Lance Shingleur, won first place overall and first in the wedding and surprise package categories.
Shingleur, who has only been a floral designer for one year, said he was more than surprised to be the overall winner.
"It was exciting to win," Shingleur said. "I didn't expect to win my first year, it was kind of mind-blowing. It hasn't really hit me yet."
Shingleur and Manning created three floral designs in two hours. Each contestant designed a wedding bouquet, a funeral arrangement and a corsage, which was the surprise package category this year.
Shingleur said not knowing what flowers will be used until the competition added a degree of difficulty to the challenge. Every contestant was given the same flowers and products to work with.
"My corsage was really simple, but really clean and my mechanics were covered," Shingleur said of his winning design. "My bridal bouquet had three roses and a few leafs. It was my leaf work that really got my creativity across."
Shingleur won $1,000 in scholarship money and Manning won $600 in scholarship money.
Manning said she and Shingleur plan to attend continued floral education classes in Oklahoma City with the money.
"I was honored to not only represent the flower shop, but my family at the competition," Manning said. "I have big shoes to fill. I look forward to next year's competition."
Next year, Shingleur will compete in the Arkansas Cup, a competition designed for past scholarship winners.
Mike Koch, a designer at Cathy's Flowers, placed fourth in the Arkansas Cup this year and is a previous winner of the Cup.
Carrying on the family tradition, Manning was elected to the Arkansas Floral Board of Directors while at the convention.

Daenerys Targaryen. Game of Thrones protagonist and self-styled Dragon Mama. She is the ultimate people manager. OK, she might bang on too much about her goddamn dragons, and has an outrageous sense of birthright entitlement, but modern managers, even CEOs, could learn a great deal from her:
- The Kid aint no Micromanager. She freed the Unsullied slaves from Astapor—giving them the choice to leave on their own terms or follow her in her quest for the throne. In return, they committed to her (their emancipator) absolute loyalty. Don't really see that happening to Alan Joyce.
- She is not afraid to terminate dead weight. In today's workplace, there is the annoying tendency to "manage out" low performers and questionably ethical employees by way of retrenchment rather than termination. There are no red-tape redundancies for Daenerys, HELL NO. She facilitated Viserys' death, and had her dragons massacre Kraznys mo Nakloz. But, you know, they were arseholes and getting really annoying.
- She leads by example and is a role model for a flexible workplace. The Mother of Dragons brings her babies to work every day, without any ambiguous workplace agreements "permitting" her to do so. Sure, the dragons are workplace allies (with killer breath) and lay down her megalomaniac foes, but I'm sure you could use kids to the same advantage. Gastro, anyone?
- She is cool under pressure. Daenerys doesn't take no shit from nobody. And she's not afraid to use a double negative if it serves her purpose. She has a goal (the Iron Throne) and will strategise and charm her way all the way to it, whilst protecting those who have committed to her.
- She will have your back. Being sexually discriminated against or bullied at work? Daenerys has your back, yo. Shocked by the treatment of the Dothraki slaves, she won them fair treatment, and we've already talked about her freeing 80,000 Unsullied minions. She sticks up for those in her army and those not in positions of power. But god help you if you are the bully. That can win you one hell of a negative performance appraisal—served up with a demotion and bubbling cap of skull-melting gold.
The best managers I've had are those who have ruled with a fist of iron for the boardroom and an open palm of mercy for their direct reports. Westeros may be a bloodthirsty den of sadism and double-crossing, but as CEO of her people, you can't fault her.
And can you just imagine the on-site creches?

Brittany, known as Lime on many Internet communities, is a cheerful 15 year-old girl that has been a fan of Pokémon since Generation I. After taking a break from it for a year or two, she is slowly getting back into the Pokémon obsession she had as a child. She is currently playing Pokémon Diamond, while playing LeafGreen and Ruby on the side. At the moment, she is very interested in Pokémon shippings, and she may become a shipper if she finds a pairing she likes.
She also likes to update her page frequently, as one may be able to tell.
Most of her contributions to Bulbapedia consist of edits that fix the grammar of a sentence or two. It's basically the only thing she can help out with, but she tries her best to aid Bulbapedia.

Personality (According to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon)
While she has yet to play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Lime loves to take the personality quiz on its website. She gets varying results; she usually gets Charmander (brave), and Pikachu (hardy) is the second most frequent result, as well as her very first. She used to get Torchic (sassy) a lot as well, though she tends to get either Squirtle (relaxed) or Skitty (hasty) more often nowadays. She has also gotten Chikorita (docile), Bulbasaur (calm), Cubone (impish), Eevee (naive) and Totodile (jolly) at least once or twice.
As a Trainer
Y'know what? For this section, I'm just going to skip the third person. I do not exclusively train a certain type, nor does my usual team have any sort of theme. I just use Pokémon that are either my favorites or can help me do a certain task that'll be useful for what I'm currently doing in the game. If I were to become a trainer that exclusively uses one type, however, my pick would be Grass.
When I'm not training or looking for new little critters to catch, I like making Poffins, planting and watering Berries and exploring The Underground. While doing the latter, I find lots of items, so if you have any requests on what you want, feel free to ask me. I have found lots of shards and a few evolutionary stones, so I may have what you're looking for!
Pokémon She Breeds
I am also a part-time Pokémon Breeder. The current list of the Pokémon I can give you via breeding is:
- Abra
- Aipom
- Bonsly
- Carnivine
- Cherubi
- Chimchar
- Combee
- Croagunk
- Drifloon
- Eevee
- Feebas
- Gible
- Glameow
- Happiny
- Magby
- Mime Jr.
- Mudkip
- Phione
- Piplup
- Skorupi
- Torchic
- Treecko
- Turtwig
- Wailmer
... As well as quite a few I have most likely forgotten. If you want one of these Pokémon, please ask for one in my Discussion page, where we can arrange when our trade will take place and what Pokémon you'll trade for it. Please also say whether you would like it to be hatched or not!
Also, would any of you Pearl players out there like a Cranidos for your collection? How about two? ... Or three? ... Or 100? Seriously, I get Skull Fossils all the time in The Underground, and I don't want all of them. The last time I checked, I had 10 of the little guys. I want a Pearl exclusive or two!

In Other Fandoms
While this specimen is a Pokémon fan, she frequents other fandoms as well. Okay, to be honest, she's not really active in many fandoms (including Pokémon) when it comes to making fanart and fanfiction and talking to fellow fans, but she considers herself a part of them anyway. Some of them include:
Video Games
- Clock Tower - The survival horror series that almost no one has heard of. This is currently her main fandom, the one she is most active in. She has made a quiz on Quizilla for it (and has ideas for a few more), is working on *two* fangames (one of which she's only programming, as it's her friend's idea and she's doing all of the art and plot, and the other she's doing pretty much the opposite, with someone drawing and her doing everything else; the former is currently on hiatus), and is even in some fanart. No, she didn't draw it. One of her friends paired her with a character she doesn't like that much and drew awesome fanart with her paired with him. If the pairing had a shipping name like the ones in the Pokémon fandom do, it'd either be WryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyShipping or OhGodShipping, as those are two phrases commonly said by her when it's brought up, as well as in the pictures themselves. (On a totally different yet still related note, the person who drew the fanart has a nice picture of Roark, Volkner and Aaron she drew for her sister on the fanart section of her website, under New → Nintendo. The aforementioned fanart that our specimen is in isn't on the website though, much to her relief. ... Oh, and there's some NSFW pictures on that site, so watch out.)
- The Legend of Zelda - Her second favorite video game series, right behind Clock Tower and right in front of Pokémon. The only real thing in this fandom she has done is maintain a (now severely inactive) LiveJournal account used to spork LoZ Mary Sue fics.
- Any Mario game - While she's not a mega big fan of Super Mario Bros. and the many related series, she still finds them fun and addicting. Has never been active in this fandom.
- Kingdom Hearts - She doesn't play the games much (though she does like them), nor is active in the fandom at all. She just likes watching its fandom because of all the wankage it has.
Anime & Manga
- Fullmetal Alchemist - Currently her favorite anime and manga. Was her main fandom until she got into Clock Tower.
- Elfen Lied - Her second favorite anime (she still needs to read the manga). Has done nothing in this fandom.
- Tokyo Mew Mew - Another anime and manga she likes. Used to be active on a forum for this series up until recently, but she still visits it every once in a while. Otherwise not very active in this fandom.
Other Cartoons and TV Shows
- Futurama - Currently her favorite TV show. The endings of the episodes Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish can make her wail every time, especially the former. She isn't active in the fandom at all.
- Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Another favorite show of hers. Unfortunately she has never watched it on television, but thank goodness for YouTube. She isn't active in the fandom at all.
And others that she has forgotten at the moment.

(Huh... I got Butterfree the last time I took this.)
Normal-types like to go with the average. If forced to choose between two extremes, though, they will usually follow their hearts rather than going out their way to be logical.
You are a:
* 15% Gamer. You have little interest in Pokémon gaming. * 30% Animé-freak. You have some interest in the Pokémon animé. * 30% Pokémon Know-it-all. You have some interest in researching Pokémon. * 25% Obsessed. Pokémon is a definite part of your life. * 5% Fan Worker. You have little interest in Pokémon fanwork. * 21% Pokémon Fan. You have some interest in Pokémon.
Do YOU fit the stereotypes?
Gamers are interested in Pokémon video game strategies over everything else Pokémon. Some of them use online Pokémon battle simulators to battle each other. They hang around the video game discussions, the team rating sections and online battling sections of forums.
Animé-freaks like watching the Pokémon animé and movies and often like to theorize about romantic relations between characters. They are usually interested in other animé as well, tend to use Japanese slang such as 'kawaii' and generally like to use ^_^ and similar text smilies. They hang around in the Pokémon Animé, Other Animé and Shippers sections of forums.
Pokémon Know-it-alls usually play the games, but more for love of studying them than the battling. They enjoy learning everything about the 493 creatures in their free time and correcting various information they come across online. At forums, you'll find them in the game sections, General Pokémon Discussion and all sorts of trivia wherever it is to be found.
Obsessed people are those people who live and breathe Pokémon. They basically think about Pokémon, talk about Pokémon, let their lives revolve around Pokémon, and often appear slightly crazy to the naked eye. They like to poke around in General Pokémon Discussion, but can pretty much hang out anywhere as long as it has to do with Pokémon.
Fan Workers are the spriters, writers and artists. They often like Pokémon for how open-ended it is in most aspects and offers for the imagination to take flight, rather than for the official information. They tend to be in the older group of fans, and like to stick mostly to the Fan Fiction, Fan Art, Poetry, Sprites, etc. sections of the forums they go to. They also often register at more than one forum to get more comments and criticism on their work.
User:Count Caterpie/Userbox/CCUP agent
- She once tormented one of her best friends with a Wailord plush at an anime convention. She had loads of fun doing so.
- She loves giving nicknames to the Pokémon she catches. Most of them are named after characters in other fandoms she inhabits.
- Her first Pokémon game was Pokémon Yellow, which was most likely the reason she liked Pikachu so much when she was younger.
- Her favorite type is Grass, though many of her favorite Pokémon are Fire, Water, Ground and Bug types.
- On the night of October 8th, 2007, she got a Drapion that was affected by the PokéRus. The very same night, she also saw a shiny Mr. Mime, which, unfortunately, fainted. Her heart is broken because of this.
- Then, on February 8th, 2008, she got a shiny Grotle from a friend, who had gotten it on GTS as a Turtwig.
- She got her Manaphy from the Toys 'R Us event and her (legit!) Jirachi from her friend Jimmy31428.
- A dog she used to have chewed on and broke her microphone for Hey You, Pikachu!.
- She usually gets the "hero" games (Gold, Ruby, Diamond), while her younger brother gets the "rival" (Silver, Sapphire, Pearl) games. The only exception so far is with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, in which she got LeafGreen and her brother got FireRed. (This is because her favorite color is green.)
- Her Crystal and her brother's Sapphire have been misplaced. (In fact, she forgot her brother even had Sapphire.)
- This user has made a few usertags. (She's happy that others are using them!)

Convertible vs. Hardtop Coupe - which is better for a collector car?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBTO- X%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250203238624&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI
OK, I know this discussion was originally about coupes vs. convertibles. BUT, at one point, the discussion went in the direction of the aesthetics of a 4-door. So, here's what appears to be a pretty nice '64 Fleetwood. Can't say I'm crazy about the white exterior, but I love the navy blue interior which is a color you don't see that often in these cars. The interior is usually black, white &/or not in very good condition. If I were master of the universe, I'd buy this car and paint it a nice navy blue. Now, THAT would be an elegant car.
Wonder what this one will go for? Right now, it's sitting at $8,000 with 26 bids (a surprisingly high number, I think). The ad says the seller has invested $20K over the last two years. I would think that $12,000 to $15,000 would be all the money for this one. But, lately I've been banished to the corner wearing my dunce cap when it comes to estimating a sale price.
It strikes odd that this car is located in Scottsdale, AZ with an Ebay auction date that ends on the Saturday of Barrett-Jackson. If this car is as good as the ad states, I would think the seller would have wanted to expose it multiple millionares by letting it go across the auction at B-J or any one of the 2-3 other January auctions in Arizona. Hmmmmmmmmm. Makes me think this car isn't really for sale - except for an outrageously high (ie., above-market) price - which the seller can't control at a no reserve auction.
Nice car though.
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 9,848Those Fleetwoods were beautiful cars...the unique roofline, and especially for me, the absence of moldings right down the middle of the body sides like lesser Cadillacs, and the addition of wide rocker moldings. Always liked the small "Fleetwood" lettering low on the front fenders, too. Funny, back then the Eldorado was pretty much the Fleetwood, but in a convertible body style. Too bad they didn't make a Fleetwood Coupe through most of the '60's. They did this up until '60 (the Seville), and from '80 or '81 and later though.
He could be just testing the market by putting a ridiculous reserve on the car but I don't think this is anything any BJ "millionaire" would care about. This kind of car does better away from places like BJ. It just won't get any attention there and then the seller is out the $$$ entrance fees, or if he does sell, he gets nicked $1,000 bucks or so.
A lot of one's success in BJ depends on the day and time you are willing to pay for. If you get a lousy time, your car won't get any good bids anyway.
I TOLD YOU these cars are bringing close to coupe money. It's probably worth $8,500 to 10,000. It should bring about 1K more than a Sedan DV. If it were extra sharp I could see $12K. Higher than that, we are talking show quality merchandise.
Normally I don't like white cars, either. I think it comes partly from having a stepfather who has always bought white cars, although Mom and he did just buy a light green '08 Altima, so maybe that trend is changing. Plus, I've had a white '68 Dart going on 16 years now. But on that car, I think it looks beautiful, especially with that navy blue interior!
One thing that annoys me about cars like that though, is when they talk about all the money they put into restoring it, and then you see obvious defects, like the cracked leather on the driver's door armrest. The other three armrests look like they've been re-done, but in vinyl. Also, the outer trim on the front seating surfaces looks like it's leather, but on the back seat, looks like it's vinyl. Now I'm not talking about the side parts of the seats...that's just vinyl, both front and back. The area I'm referring to is the trim area just to the outside of the fabric. It looks cracked up front in only the way leather can do, but in the back seat just looks too smooth and shiny to be leather.
That does look like a nice, comfy cruiser though. A lot of people would slam a car like this, saying that it looks like they put a couple of livingroom sofas in there. But compared to that, anything else is just plastic lawn furniture with a tarp thrown over it. :shades:
That's why you should never buy a car on the blind. There is nothing like a pair of eyeballs. Depending on what I saw in real life, as opposed to the photos, my estimate of value on this car might vary as much as 30%.
Personally I'd rather see a car a bit weather-worn and original then restored badly and crudely.
http://www.ellingsoncarmuseum.com/Active/2007%20Cars/1964%20Cadillac%20Fleetwood- /1964_cadillac_fleetwood_tn.htm
Ok. Here's a 1964 Fleetwood I found for sale with a listing price of $10,950 offered by a dealer in MN. Don't know anything about the history of the car in terms of where it spent most of its life. However, I've received photos additional photos of the interior, engine and trunk and they look pretty decent to me. The car is reported to be, and looks to be, in unmolested, original condition. Interior is in good shape, while used, it's not abused. Is it a #1? No. Is it a #2? Nope. But, I'd say it's a pretty good #3. Anyway, this car looks nicer than the white Fleetwood on Ebay located in Scottsdale, AZ. More importantly, the seller appears to be pretty realistic on his price. The price may be a bit high because, after all, the seller IS a dealer and one would assume he's willing to accept something less than $10,950. Still, the price isn't hideous either. Finally, a seller/dealer who isn't delusional!
Gotta be careful though if it's an actual museum car. They just sit and rot.

I said this .64 Wildcat Coupe would go in the mid $20'sK. Well, it sold for around $33K. Either this car was nicer than I thought, or there was a free/open bar that day. LOL!
My Barrett-Jackson rule of thumb is: estimate what you think the car would realistically sell for, then add 35%. Well, if you add 35% to $25,000, you're alarmingly close to $33,000. UNCANNY!!!!
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,425Having purchased a new 57 Plymouth Fury 301 with Torqueflite that developed my patience quite a bit, I'm curious to know how well your 57 DeSoto has worked for you. Particularly the engine and transmission. Thank you.
Those torqueflites would break the reverse gear servo sure as shootin if you slammed it into reverse on a high idle. Very common weak point on the V-8 cars. The engines were okay but always had hot-start problems and they ate starter motors.
texases Posts: 7,897"Those torqueflites would break the reverse gear servo sure as shootin if you slammed it into reverse on a high idle"
Hope those weren't the same trannys that Chrysler used in their '60s TV ad, the one with the car being jammed from drive to reverse to drive repeatedly at speed...
The very same, yes. Torqueflite 8.
In TV land, nothing ever breaks and the road is always clear and your wife or husband never looked better.
Andre, try this and let us know if it breaks.
Hope those weren't the same trannys that Chrysler used in their '60s TV ad, the one with the car being jammed from drive to reverse to drive repeatedly at speed...
Well, the closest thing to tranny abuse I ever had was with my '68 Dart. It accidentally got thrown into park at about 35 mph once. The original owner of that car had no left arm, so the turn signal was rigged on an extra long stalk that still came out the left side of the column, but then, through a series of right angles, went under the steering column and came up and out on the right side, near the gear shifter. I let one of my friends drive the car, and he tried to signal left with the gearshift lever! :surprise: The car stopped immediately and stalled out, but didn't seem to suffer any long-term damage from it. And that was in late 1992. That car did quit running about 9 years later, but I think it was from a bad fuel pump.
As for the '57 Torqueflite, supposedly you're not supposed to be able to throw it into reverse if you're moving forward more than something like 10 or 15 mph. It has a safety lockout. It also has lockouts for first and second gear. I think it's 45 mph for first and 70 for second.
My DeSoto has no brakes, thanks to a leaking rear wheel cylinder, and needs a carburetor rebuild. However, the engine and transmission have never given me a bit of trouble. But then, this car never was a daily driver for me. I've had it since September 1990, and I doubt if I've put 5,000 miles on it. As far as I know, it's the original engine/tranny.
I never saw the commercial where they were throwing the car back and forth between drive and reverse but yeah, it would've been the same basic transmission most likely...a Torqueflite 727. There was also a lighter-duty version called the 904 that was introduced for the 1960 Valiant, but eventually was used with bigger cars and engines. My Dart has a 904, and I think my '79 New Yorkers have something called an A998, which is a slightly beefier version of it, with the "A" standing for lockup torque converter. There was another version called the A999, which I think is what smallblock copcars mainly used. I think that's what my '89 Gran Fury had.

Rush uses NYC shooting to rip the left
Rush Limbaugh used Friday's deadly shooting at the Empire State Building to highlight how "absurd" it is for the media and the left to blame conservatives for gun violence by facetiously suggesting President Barack Obama's rhetoric was to blame.
"He was fired yesterday," the conservative talk show host said of the man suspected of killing one person and shooting others outside the Empire State Building. "He went out there and he killed his boss. I wonder if Obama's constant warfare on bosses and so forth might have led this guy to pull the trigger?"
Story Continued Below
Limbaugh said blaming Obama for the shooting was like what liberals and the news media did to link conservatives to mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Tucson, Ariz., in recent years.
"Who's out there ripping bosses to shreds every day?" Limbaugh said. "Who's out there ripping businesses to shreds every day? And who's out there killing jobs every day?"
"Yes, we're trying to illustrate absurdity by being absurd," he continued, according to a transcript. "That's the absurd way the news media and the rest of the left try to capitalize and politicize any terrible crime that they think they can associate with Republicans or conservatives. We've seen it time and time again. So why not give them a dose of their own medicine here? Do you think Obama, do you think the Democrats have any blood on their hands with this shooting today?"
After the Jan. 8, 2011, shooting that injured then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin came in for criticism — she had put out a map "targeting" Giffords's congressional district with a gunsight. And after last month's massacre at a Colorado movie theater, ABC's Brian Ross falsely said the shooter was a member of a local tea party group.
A a press conference earlier today in New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the suspected shooter, 58-year-old Jeffrey Johnson, had been laid off a year ago from his job as a clothing designer at Hazan Imports. Johnson's victim was a former coworker Steve Ercolino. Kelly said Ercolino and Johnson had filed harassment complaints against each another.

You can also get audio and video of the first session on both Blip.tv and Google video. There's also an RSS feed that you can subscribe to if you want to know when the remaining three sessions are released (over the next couple of weeks). I'm told that this feeds links to "enhanced podcasts" of the presentation - but not being an iGeek I have no idea what that means.
Thanks to Jonathan Tweed at the BBC for the work he is putting in on these recordings.
The latest development version of File::Path (version 1.99_02) is winging its way around the world to a CPAN mirror near you. It needs to be tested on as wide a variety of platforms as possible. This includes Windows, VMS, OS/2, QNX, NFS file systems, AFS and anything else you can lay your hands on.
Proposal Submission Deadline: Sunday, 27th May 2007, 23:59 (CET)
Just a quick note to let you all know that the deadline for submitting talk proposals for this year's YAPC::Europe is rapidly approaching.For some ideas on talks and last-minute discussions see our wiki.
More information on how to submit a talk can be found on our website.
Speakers do not have to pay the attendance fee, and will receive some special goodies!
If you never did a talk (at a YAPC, or in general), we strongly encourage you to give it a try! The organisers will try to help newcomers with their talks, e.g. by proofreading the presentations.
We're waiting for your proposals!
The deadline to submit Hackathon proposals for this year's YAPC Europe in Vienna is just around the corner. Please do not forget to submit your proposals by Sunday, 13th May 2007.
The Call for Papers deadline is less than 3 weeks away from today.
The theme for this year's conference is "Social Perl", which we hope will inspire submissions for this and related topics. If Perl has helped you or your company to get people together, or if you can report how Perl is "social" to other programming languages, or how Perl may profit from inspirations from other languages, we'd like to hear about it. Although this is our main topic for the conference, it will not be the only one, and as such we will also be accepting talks on just about any theme.
Types of talks include 20 or 40 minutes talks, 60-90 minute tutorials, or 3 hour Hack-a-thons, BOFs or Workshops. There are still some slots free!
Hope to see you in Vienna, on behalf of Vienna.pm
So I've moved all the content to perl-qa.hexten.net and set it up so that only registered users may edit. It's a shame to have to restrict access in that way; certainly we'll get fewer drive-by contributions as a result. On balance it's better than the message that a spam-riddled quality (quality!) wiki sends I think.
Please update bookmarks / links accordingly.
The London Perl Mongers, together with BBC Backstage have organised a one-day Perl Teach-In day to be held at the BBC Broadcast Centre on Saturday 2nd June.
You can get more details (and can sign up) at http://london.pm.org/teach-in/.
I'll be running the training, so I'll be happy to answer any questions, but note that this is _not_ a course for beginners. You'll need to already understand things like references and writing modules in order for the course to be worthwhile.
Update: Registration is now closed. We sold out in 48 hours. I guess it's true what they say - Perl really is dead :-)

Smith should pass it to Melo.

Ah well, wasn't our night. Decent game against a good team on the road. We missed Tyson down the stretch.
Refs handed Lakers a gift
Do you still think Felton doesn't have bad shot selection?
Refs kept mediocre Lakers in this game for 3 quarters. Poor 4TH quarter handed mediocre Lakers a nice X-Mas gift of a victory.
Woodson should review his substitution patterns. Playing Prigioni and Brewer so little is a big problem. Felton just seems to be really tired. Same goes for Chandler. Had Camby seen more minutes earlier, Chandler would have been in the game at the end and Camby showed that he is still a serviceable bigman. Just think about the block and the (almost) alley-hoop to Melo. Also we didn't move the ball enough.

Online map and tools available for public review and comment
PORTLAND, Ore. — The City of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability has released the Comprehensive Plan - Working Draft Part 2, launching a round of public outreach to share this large body of work with the community and solicit public feedback.
Working Draft Part 2: Maps and Infrastructure includes:
The Map App is designed to solicit answers to questions, such as:
"Hundreds of community members, City staff, business owners and other stakeholders contributed to the development of these products," said BPS Director Susan Anderson. "Now public comments with these new tools will help the City make quality decisions to better manage and leverage population growth to create a more livable community for all Portland residents and businesses."
Part 2 also includes a new Urban Design Framework (visible in the Map App), which shows Portland's future intended physical form. The draft framework focuses growth in neighborhood centers and along travel corridors, identifies key transportation connections, and fosters a system of habitat corridors ─ all while being sensitive to the unique geographies and characteristics of different parts of the city.
Public Outreach
Three public information sessions are being held later this month to share more information about the Comprehensive Plan Working Draft, the Map App and the CSP. All sessions will include a 30-minute presentation and time for questions and answers.

Good for Brandon , but pretty poor written article -
*He was sent to the minors on Sunday, July 31. I would think that's plenty of time to update for Friday's publish.
*The home run did not make his average "literally batting 1000". It was his third at bat of the game and made his average .333. "1000" is actually written "1.000" by the way.
*The home run made him have four RBIs not three RBIs. Crawford scoring himself counts as the fourth RBI.
*Saying "watching former Giants like fellow shortstop Royce Clayton, Alex Rodriguez, "before he went to the Yankees," and J.T. Snow" is incorrect. Rodriguez was never on the Giants and Snow played first base.

It seems there were some piddley mistakes throughout the entire article.
Pro-Law offers up a mere one-sentence critique, and can't get the grammar right. "pretty poor written article"
What's that old adage? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

i had the great honor to coach brandon at foothill high. his talents speak for themselves but his character is ever lasting. we worked hard and he soaked it all up. having a short stop with that type of ability was an experience. the magic in high school baseball is that you practice during your season four days a week and play games the other two. players have a chance to develop right in front of your eyes. brandons junior year at foothill he played with brad bergesen who pitches for baltimore. since 2000 amador and foothill have had numerous scholarship ball players leave our campus.
at our last baseball camp brandon donated two bats and numerous balls that he signed for the little ball players of pleasanton. my family and the whole community at foothill watched those giants games like brandon was playing short stop at falcon diamond. when he was in the big leagues it was un believable.
i have a few good stories about brandon that i will share down the road. we wish him a long and healthy career.

UNT posts consecutive wins for first time since '04
RUSTON, La. — The streak is over.
North Texas leaned on a rapidly improving defense and rallied from an early 10-point deficit for a 28-13 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday at Joe Aillet Stadium.
The win came on the heels of a home victory over Middle Tennessee last week, giving the Mean Green back-to-back wins.
For UNT, it was a huge milestone.
UNT was 0-26 in games following a victory and had gone 102 games since the 2004 New Orleans Bowl without winning back-to-back games. The win also snapped a seven-game road losing streak.
"[We] finally got one on the road and stopped the stupid talk about how we can't win two in a row," UNT coach Dan McCarney said. "We are going to enjoy this one."
That is just what UNT's players and coaches did, rushing to a corner of the field to celebrate with a few hundred fans tucked into a small section of the stands. From there it was on to a locker room that McCarney and his players described as a wild scene.
"It's a gorilla off our back," UNT quarterback Derek Thompson said. "Everyone said we couldn't win on the road. Everyone schedules us for homecoming. We finally spoiled one. It feels good."
The Mean Green (4-3, 2-1 Conference USA) not only had a lot to feel good about, but a lot to look forward to after beating Tech in its homecoming game. UNT's first winning streak in eight years put the Mean Green squarely in the race for its first bowl berth since the last of four straight New Orleans Bowl appearances in 2004 with five games left in the regular season.
Three of those games will be at home, where UNT is 10-4 in three seasons under McCarney.
The Mean Green will have that opportunity to make a run at a winning season largely because of a defense that continued to dominate.
UNT forced three turnovers and shut down Tech (2-5, 1-2) behind standout performances from linebacker Zach Orr and cornerback Zac Whitfield.
Orr entered the game with 298 career tackles and cruised past the 300 mark with a game-high 17 stops against Tech. Whitfield, who was pulled from UNT's starting lineup after struggling in the first two games of the season, intercepted two passes, including one he returned 56 yards for a touchdown.
"We knew that our offense was going to put up points," Orr said. "We just had to stick to our game plan."
UNT's defense was riding a wave of momentum after limiting Middle Tennessee and Tulane to one offensive touchdown apiece in the Mean Green's last two games.
That confidence became vitally important after Louisiana Tech jumped out to its early lead.
Star defensive end IK Enemkpali intercepted a pass from Thompson on UNT's first possession. The Bulldogs cashed in a short time later when Ryan Higgins scored on a 2-yard run, and Kyle Fisher added a 40-yard field goal.
UNT dominated from that point on and made two key plays before halftime that turned the tide.
Thompson scrambled toward the line of scrimmage just five plays after Tech had gone up 10-0 and found Brelan Chancellor alone behind the Bulldog secondary for a 61-yard touchdown strike.
Thompson led UNT with 221 passing yards, while Brandin Byrd added 71 rushing yards.
Higgins threw for 343 yards for Tech but was picked off twice by Whitfield.
The sophomore gave UNT the lead for good when he cut in front of a pass Higgins lofted down the sideline for his first interception and returned it 56 yards for a touchdown. His second interception helped ice the game late in the fourth quarter.
"I read the quarterback and made a play," Whitfield said of his first interception. "That really gave us momentum."
Tech never recovered.
Thompson scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter and Byrd essentially put the game away when he scored on a 1-yard run with 40 seconds left in the period.
"We started to get a little momentum after the touchdown," Thompson said of his strike to Chancellor. "Then Zac got that interception. It was huge. They never recovered."
UNT was on a roll at that point and quickly ended a host of dubious streaks, including its run of games without consecutive wins that haunted the team for years.
"This is the first time anyone on this team has won two games in a row at North Texas," Orr said. "It's an unbelievable feeling."

Famed Chapel Hill author Elizabeth Spencer has proved a North Carolina rule again.
"Ninety is the new 60."
Or 50.
Spencer, like academic leader William Friday and historian John Hope Franklin a few years earlier, shows that the nineties can be incredibly productive years.
The evidence in Spencer's case is her latest book of short fiction, Starting Over, which was released on January 1st.
Spencer is 92. Six of the book's nine stories were written by her in the last three years, proving that her talents and work ethic are still strong.
Spencer is best known, perhaps, for her novella, The Light in the Piazza, written more than 50 years ago. That book still has legs. After being adapted into a popular movie in 1962, it was more recently the basis of a Broadway musical.
Not so widely known is that Spencer's novel, The Voice at the Back Door, was recommended for a Pulitzer Prize by the Prize's jury in 1957. However, the Pulitzer board decided not to make an award that year. No reasons were stated for that decision, but Spencer's candid look at race relations in the South may have been too far advanced for the times.
The title of the new book, Starting Over, probably refers to the characters in several of the book's stories in which changed circumstances require them to look at their lives in entirely different ways.
Many North Carolina readers may already be familiar with one of the stories titled "Christmas Longings," first published in the 2012 Christmas edition of "Our State" magazine. Although the completion of a single short story often takes many months, sometimes even longer, Spencer confesses she wrote this one in a matter of days because she had forgotten about the magazine's deadline. But the story suggests that it was not created in a vacuum, perhaps reflecting Spencer's memories of her childhood Christmases.
The leading character, Sonia, now living in New England, looks back 40 years to growing up in North Carolina, a time when she wanted to be an angel in a fictional Smithville Presbyterian Church's Christmas pageant and her sister wanted snow more than anything. But she was too big to be an angel and there was no snow. Using coat hangers to support the wings, her mother made an angel costume, and her father and uncle drove all the way to the mountains to get enough snow to make snow cream. Then, outside, real snow began to fall.
Back in the present, Sonia's unbelieving husband says, "Now I've quit believing you. Your parents did everything to please you, but does God do it too?"
In a more provocative and complex story, "The Wedding Visitor," a cousin, Rob Ellis, travels to a family wedding. The prospective bride had backed out on two recent weddings and the prospective groom is accused of stealing from a road construction account. Rob helps fix the problems and leaves wondering if and when he will ever come back.
My favorite is the book's opening story, "Return Trip," in which a North Carolina couple and their son are visited by the wife's kinsman from Mississippi. Years earlier the wife and her kinsman had an ambiguous encounter about nine months before the couple's son was born. Even though the son looks like the kinsman, none of the characters in the story deal directly with the obvious possibility, and the reader is forced to join the characters in wrestling with the situation and then moving on, or "starting over."
Of course, that title Starting Over might have another meaning. It could also be an assertion by Spencer of her willingness to keep on "starting over" for the rest of her life.
If so, she is a good model for the rest of us, whether we are ninety, or sixty, or fifty, or twenty.

Photographer's Note
Container ships in Rotterdam harbour. A poor definition capture. They are cargo ships that carry all of their load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. They are a common mean of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo...Source : wiki

Hi Miguel,
Good capture of the container ship in Rotterdam on what seems to be a very dull day. These boats are really massive and carry everything from cars to cornflakes. You have done a good job showing the scale of the boat and capture the atmosphere of that particular day. Well done and thanks once again.
All the best

Hi Miguel,

Your struggle with insufficient light produced a pleasant result. Nice colours and a good composition.
ChrisJ (129086) 2013-10-17 21:20
Hello Miguel
Sorry, but there is a lot of pixellation in the sky, and the image isn't sharp. I would have liked to have seen a wider angled view too including all of the ship. I do like the warm cold color contrast between the red and blue. Framing is good with the horizon level and well below the centreline. Tfs. Looking forward to some of your better images.

Hi Miguel,
Nice view to the ship. During my trip to Kerala I had the opportunity to see some really large container ships. But I'm sure nothing can beat Amsterdam.
Well seen and captured.
Wish you a very nice weekend.

Hello Miguel,
relatively a small-size container-vessel, I saw giant ships when visited HK, and some can carry up to 5000 containers aboard.
The mist and fog was not so favorable condition herte, but I share the enthusiasm to take ships photos.
Have a nice Friday,
No_One (4) 2013-10-18 2:41
Hi Miguel,
One thing I love to do when I am close to the coast is to watch the ships come and go, so its always nice to see these mighty vessels as they bring us our supplies and leave with our exports. When I look at these, I wonder are these containers filled with luxury cars? Food? Soft toys? Who knows, but nice to ponder.
All the best

I stumbled upon this site just now and I've read most of the information here…I have to admit that it really disturbs me. I COMPLETELY AGREE that religion should not be taught in a science class at public schools (this debate is going on where I live too). However, I am really offended by the way the Open Letter and the other information completely makes fun of Christianity and the arguments that some Christians have made for intelligent design. Also, the T-shirt designs are blatantly disrespectful of Christianity. As a Christian myself, I find it very saddening that God has become replaceable by an imaginary ball of pasta in the minds of an apparently large number of people.
I only ask this: Please keep your minds and hearts OPEN to God and anything He tells you. God is with you always, and He wants you to know Him and follow His path for your life. Just make sure, as attractive as the FSM-god may be, that you are not worshiping him and placing him ahead of the GOD who is REAL and alive today.
Any comments are appreciated, and may God bless you all.

Does anyone know from whom or where did the $63,500 buy-back money originate? I thought our County was strapped for cash. Certainly, the citizens who were looking for a quick sawbuck in exchange must be.
And come on, these guns weren't "on-the-street", but more likely stored in a garage or closet. For Congresswoman Speier to say, "Every weapon turned in is one less life that might be lost or damaged by a firearm, whether accidentally or intentionally" is totally ludicrous and nothing more than political B.S.
a resident of Woodside: other
on Jan 28, 2013 at 1:47 pm
To "Menlo Voter": it's a fallacy to believe that they afforded me any measure of protection whatsoever.
1) They were stored in a locked box, top shelf of an unused room for the safety of my probably snoopy grandkids, so totally inaccessible.
2) Even if they were accessible, am I really going to shoot someone? No. Seriously.
3) Even if I did them to try to just scare off an intruder, it'd be like taking candy from a baby to wrest one away from me and I'd end up being the one who's scared and/or shot.
And yes, especially after Sandy Hook, and especially since I have grandchildren now, I DO feel really, really good about what I did. It actually was a very uplifting, positive event that I hope continues all across the country!
a resident of Portola Valley: other
on Jan 28, 2013 at 1:52 pm
"And come on, these guns weren't "on-the-street", but more likely stored in a garage or closet."
The Sandy Hook guns were stored, too.
Unlike this gun: "1/23/13: A man who told police he lost his .380 semiautomatic pistol while riding his motorized scooter through a north Longmont neighborhood on Jan. 16 told police he found the gun between some couch cushions in his home on Wednesday."
Web Link
This one isn't as funny: "BOSTON, MA, 1/20/13: "He was cleaning his gun, and he forgot there was a shell in the chamber, and he struck his girlfriend in the head," he said. "They were madly in love with each other. This wasn't domestic violence. It was an accident.""
a resident of Woodside: other
on Jan 28, 2013 at 2:00 pm
To "Ol' Homeboy":
1) There were no tax-payer dollars used; if there had been, I would have turned in my guns anyway but not taken the cash for them. Congresswoman Speier provided most of the funds herself, along with private donations.
2) Not true. Last Sat. alone, five people ACCIDENTALLY shot themselves or others while handling guns AT GUN SHOWS. I used to have a .45 that was stolen from my home and no doubt eventually ended up in the wrong hands. That's on me now.
3) There's nothing "political" about this. No one is taking away any of your arsenal. Go Goggle 'accidental shootings' and read for yourself the damage done.
I'm done posting. Just wanted to share my experience and thoughts, not get into interwebs debating nonsense.

go back and look. I never claimed they gave you any measure of protection. You're right, if you aren't/weren't ready to shoot someone that is threatening your life, then having a gun is pointless. It's good that you recognize that and don't try do do something you're not capable of doing. Of course, having a knife, baseball bat or any other deadly weapon would be pointless as well since you obviously aren't interested in defending your life.

Gun control isn't about personal protection or hunting. It's about disabling a population so that the government can control the rest of your lives. Turn them in, Sheep. Turn them all in.

June, 2005
Regional Report
Clean Up June Drops
Many fruit trees initially set far more fruit than they can carry to maturity. The trees then begin to self prune by dropping immature fruit. Often this first occurs in June. If you see fallen fruit, clean it up. This good sanitation practice helps prevent disease and insect problems.
Control Slugs
Nocturnal slugs can devour hostas, lamium, lettuce, spinach, and newly set annual and vegetable transplants overnight, leaving holes in the foliage or sometimes just bare ribs. Hand-pick them at night (drop them into soapy water) or use a slug bait formulated with iron phosphate (read and follow the label directions).
Start Composting
Summer is a great time to begin a compost pile because the warm temperatures naturally accelerate the composting process. To hold your compost, you can use a commercially manufactured bin, assemble an enclosure out of recycled wooden pallets, form a cylinder out of wire mesh fencing, or just pile your compost in a heap.
Keep Planting
As your spring annuals and vegetables wane with the heat, continue succession planting with warm-weather flowers and vegetables. You can plant sunflowers, squash, bush beans, and basil, for example, to enjoy later this season.
Pruning Hollies
Hollies have a nice, natural shape. They can be lightly pruned now by selectively removing longer branches to thin the bush and tidy the overall outline. Reach deep inside the bush to cut individual branches as needed. This helps light and air reach the interior of the plant and keeps it healthy. Shearing now will limit (or remove) this year's berry crop.

I don't understand why some people seem more concerned about what age they are, what ethnicity they are, and whether or not they perform "better" than them. Get a life people! This is porn and if you don't like it go to the next video. Personally I love this video! I saw it sometime last year and regretted not saving it. When I went back to look for it, I couldn't find it anywhere! I am so glad to see it again! This is one of the few movies on any porn website that can get me sooooo wet every time. I love watching it when my boyfriend is at work and thinking of the adventure when he gets home. I move similar to the girl in this video and it gets me off to watch the movements knowing exactly what it feels like...mmmm! :) Oh and for all you people who are concerned with their stats, to me they look anywhere from their early 20's to early 30's. The girl looks Caucasian and the guy looks Hispanic or Caucasian (maybe mixed). I am mixed Caucasian and Hispanic and my boyfriend is Hispanic. We have amazing sex and although my voice sounds nothing like her; my moans do!! So sexy you two... *Dripping wet*
first song( 00:14) is Bone Thugs-n-Harmony - ecstasy
she sounds like dorothy from the wizard of oz
One of my all-time favorite homemade videos. I absolutely HAVE to come and rewatch it once in a while, and I do. :D
Probably, no, definitely the greatest amateur video I've ever seen. Hot body and knows how to work a cock like crazy. This girl loves it. What a real video... Lucky guy
9 orgasms ?
I want to fuck this girl!!!
My neighbor in the apartment often make noise like that at night. And that "Oh, baby, fuck me!" sounds so inviting.
She's every man's dream girlfriend.
There's no substitute for enthusiasm - and big tits. Let's all pool our money and buy this chick a good camera. We all want to see more of her!
Good one - one of the best so HD would have been better. Still I could have fucked that girl better than that guy especially when her legs were against her tits.
I wish she was my wife so I could enjoy her every night. I would even call in sick from work and fuck her all day.
This is my go-to video. Multiple orgasms every time.
I want to fuck a man and am a woman
So hot, love it how she has multiple orgasms too, like me n hubby mmmmmm
I really want to get fucked like right now bye this dude
This is how a girl should be fucked. they should do a HD version of this
waw.. this a n ever lasting video.. whom i seen.. even i wet... i love to ... orgasm... horny... seductive..
ok to the people who say she's faking: 1 everyone has different noises and noise levels 2 they didn't say she orgasmed like nine times so maybe it's just intense pleasure or close 3 i sound like this when i am being well fucked so maybe you should keep yourself to yourself 4 people are people and being a girl or guy makes you no more or less credible, people are people in addition she's a fox and he's totally delicious looking great couple, great video, props.

Q paja me eh hecho!
Shes faking it
so hot
not to brag but shes like me O_o
best ever, i have seen
Lasting 16 minutes isn't a big deal I don't understand people who say they cum in 2 minutes surely that isn't possible? I go down on my girlfriend untill she orgasms then fuck her and I last about 20 minutes I make her cum another 2-3 times. I always make sure she's beyond satisfied and it's effortless for me im not hung like a pornstar or anything im 7 inches long slightly above average girth. I'm a demon in bed!!
That girl has a fantastic body and she should be doing porn and get gang banged,fantastic chick
damn nearly 9million views congratz
she fucks him :O
He really is an amateur, only lasted 15 minutes. I would have banged that hoe for at least two hours.
Bien la perra
jesus christ can this girl date me
I want this -sigh-Damn that guy is hot when he cums. I love it when guys are loud
this is exactly how my boyfriend and i fuck. and after a few minutes of rest, we do it again in the shower.
the first song is "notorious thugs" by notorious b.i.g.
Che Tette
Good actress. She's faking.

oua c'est sexy !!! je suis si exite mmm elle est belle c'est bon miam
I think she says "phil" or something like this, his name, maybe (and not the latin "si")....
Super husky moaning sounds and fuck
she is aware of the cam and its one BIG SHOW..
Nice move lucky guy fucked by a girl professional girl
One of my favorites! Love how she fucks him, she moves so right
like that ride :)
This guy can fuck me
when she was cumming that made me hard as a rock. Hot as fuck and I could tell it was real. My wife does that when she is on top. She is amazballs.
I would like to fuck her!!
Schön durchgebumst die Süsse. So muss es sein
I love to fuck small girls like this
Great stamina from him. Very hot video, this is one of my favorite homemade videos.
The girls real name is Meg. She lives in WA I would recognize her moan anywhere. She's the real deal. Her and I used to fuck for hours then cuddle and watch movies then pause and go at it all over again. Best sex I'll probably ever have. Never met anyone half as passionate or as into it as her. Damn I miss that woman.
How did he have stamina for 15 minutes? Between her having the face of a garden gnome and those annoying forced screams, it couldn't be that difficult.
what the hell
My prissy is tight who wants to loosen it
Im Being Horny When I'am Watching This Kind of porn. I want To Fuck Uuuuh shet Now I Am Holding My Pussy. Uhhhh
Fuck I'd give anything to get fucked like that
love the video!! this is all that i need omfg somebody like him ?????
Me encanto como lo disfruta ella.....
I love you
amazing cam
She has got the motion in the ocean alright, like a birthing gazelle, I bet he is a drummer in a shite limp biscuit style band, probs reckons he is ace at tending to a BBQ and wearing slippers. Penis Éclair!
