As their all-time best customer, I usually get the inside scoop from my LHS. Apparently, the new E-Flight UMX Carbon Cub is a retailer's nightmare, attempted returns are rampant. The problem seems to be caused by low quality linear servos in the Carbon Cub's application.
- Wingspan: 24.0 in (610mm)
- Overall Length: 15.7 in (398mm)
- Wing Area: 83.5 sq. in. (540 sq. cm.)
- Flying Weight: 3.17 oz (90 g)
- Motor: 180-size, 2500Kv brushless outrunner
- Flaps
- DSM Radio
- $220 MSRP, $170 Street
- Floats Available: $30
While all Horizon micros use delicate, exposed gear linear servos with a few month half-life, it seems the Carbon Cubs problem is a lack of control surface throw requiring hyper extension of the servo. When users set 100+% travel, the worm gear drives the servo's wiper past the intended endpoints of the contact strip.
This has been breaking elevator servos within a few flights, often catastrophically damaging/destroying the plane. The alternative: not enough elevator throw, seems equally defective.
Given a rash of quality problems with Horizon UMs and their known bad linear servos in particular, I am putting out an immediate AVOID recommendation on the UMX (what is the X for, again?)Carbon Cub.
The dysfunctional UM Carbon Cub continues a long line of UMs with unacceptable component quality, coupled with unacceptable over-pricing. Full sized PNP or RTF Cubs generally sell around $100.
This 55" EPO Super Cub sells for $149 including a 2.4Ghz radio
1.5 to 2 meter balsa and ply ARF Super Cubs also run for less than the Carbon Cub. Z8RC's recommended competitive target street price for the UMX Carbon Cub is $79 MSRP, $69 Street price. I placed it on the high end of the current micro market price range, based on the inclusion of flaps and a decent motor.
Appearance: B-
Funky windscreen. Lines slightly off. Ok, but not quite right.
Aerodynamics: Untested
Power System: C-
E-Flight 180 2500 kV = good, expensive motor. Predicted reliability of integral ESC and E-Flight batteries: Very poor.
Build Quality/Durability: F
Cheap Styrofoam micro at a giant scale scale balsa and ply ARF price. Cheap linear servo failures are rampant. Weak tail.
Value: F
Low end micro components at a giant scale price. Poor, non digital servos with exposed gears. Low amp, integral ESC. DSM Rx.
Overall Grade: F
Rip off pricing. Non-competitive component quality.

Skip to comments.Major Muslim Hasan Participated in Homeland Security Panel for Obama
Posted on 11/06/2009 3:53:12 PM PST by American Dream 246
Political correctness is going to rout this country. The jihadi who mowed down scores at Fort Hood was an adviser to the Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force. This was at the same time that the DHS was writing reports that right wing extremists like Grandma, Veterans, tea parties, patriots were the real threat. And Hasan had a jihad history.
Enemy in the White House.
Fort Hood shooter was member of Homeland Security Panel advising Obama Jihadwatch
Of course. Why not? He was a "moderate." Until he wasn't.
"Nidal Hasan: Ft. Hood Shooter Participated in Homeland Security Disaster Preparation," from Gawker, November 6 (thanks to Mary Belle):
The gunman who killed 12 people today at Ft. Hood appears, based on current media reports, to be Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force last year.
The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.
According to the task force's May 2009 report [pdf], a "Nidal Hasan" from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant. Other participants included Senate and House staffers, Department of Homeland Security officials, Defense Department officials, and reporters for Politico, the Washington Post, and the London Times....
UPDATE: Good comment thread here.
Up your *ss, Obama. Up your *ss!
Did CAIR issue any statement of condolences? I think it's time to start some major profiling.
That wasn't the Nidal Malik Hasan that I knew.
The modern American political class (Politicians & bureaucrats, media and academia) comes very close to being as mortal an enemy to western civilization as Islam.
Thanks for posting. I am glad the word is getting out on this.
Terrorism on Obama's watch.
If I said anything that might cast him in a negative way,
would that be a hate crime?
How much does 0bama know about this guy?
Is 0bama and administration officials part of the investigation?
It's hard to get excited about low level fifth columnists, when there is one at the very top of the food chain.
This is amazing news.....for the 37th time today.
I feel bad for laughing out loud at your post...
Let me guess this "panel"'s recommendations:
1. Open the border
2. Repeal the 2nd Amendment
3. Confiscate citizen-owned firearms and jail those who resist
4. Continue to ban racial profiling for terrorists
This was the panal that determined we were extremist terrorists for attending the April 15th protests.
My prediction....it's gonna be a long drawn out and messy investigation. The guy was promoted by someone in Obama's administration or transition team because his views matched their leftist template..America and military bad...'moderate' muslims good. It has now backfired big time and they are scurrying to cover it all up. I suspect some of Obama's radical appointments to the DOD are in the middle of this..aka..Rosa Brooks:
The list, ping
Somebody please keep this post in mind and tell me where this Nidal Malik Hasan is buried. Next year, Ill take my vacation there and pour pig blood all over his grave, and Im not kidding about this. Ill do my best to send the SOB Muslim straight to HELL!
While I wouln't do anything to stop you, I don't think you have to worry about that Hell part.

It's absolutely indefensible, but some are trying to defend Luis Suarez's bite on Giorgio Chiellini. "Apologists", I think they are being called. They range from the Uruguayan press to Liverpool fans.
FIFA must make an example of Suarez, who, by the way, I think is a magnificent footballer and, for that, I respect him immensely. But Suarez has bitten opponents, not once before, but TWICE before, making this his third biting offence.
Simply unbelievable.
Some are saying he needs help, and I would agree, and I think he should be given time for such help away from a football field. This is a great shame for Liverpool, but noises are that Suarez would have been on the move anyway (maybe not now).
So what will FIFA do? They must ban Suarez from all football, but for how long? How long would feel to short? How long would feel too long?
Six matches? Too short.
A year? Too long?
Three months? Getting nearer.
Six months? Getting nearer.
FIFA must act forcefully and must not (forgive he pun) be seen to be toothless.

A White Plains councilman wants city officials to use the power of eminent domain to clear a downtown commercial property for construction of 42 units of affordable housing.
"The use of eminent domain would fulfill two purposes," Councilman Robert Greer said Friday. "It would help affordable housing and create open space in the downtown."
But several other council members shied away from the idea of seizing land from a private property owner even if it serves "a legitimate public purpose," as Greer maintains.
Greer's proposal involves property at 185-187 Main St. adjacent to a $350 million hotel, residential and retail complex, called Renaissance Square, that developer Louis Cappelli is building.
City officials will hold a public hearing Thursday on Cappelli's plan for affordable housing, as well as a request by him to increase the height of his approved Renaissance Square residential towers at 221 Main St. To sweeten his appeal for a height increase from 350 feet to 400 feet, or about 40 stories, Cappelli has pledged to give $1.5 million to the city's affordable housing fund in addition to building 42 affordable units, as required by the city.
Initially, Cappelli proposed constructing the units next door to Renaissance Square. But he was unable to reach a deal with Stanley Drucker, owner of the building at 185-187 Main St. Drucker declined to comment.
Cappelli then proposed construction on property he owns at 240 Main St., home for more than two decades to a popular lunch spot called the Corner Nook Cafe.
That suggestion incensed rival developer Martin Ginsburg, who wants to construct a $100 million luxury condominium complex at 250 Main St. Ginsburg has been fighting Cappelli in court over ownership of 240 Main St.
Ginsburg argues that the property should be turned into open space to enhance the City Center Plaza.
Greer's call for the use of eminent domain at 185-187 Main St. supports Ginsburg's contention that the city would gain by opening up the City Center Plaza without sacrificing affordable housing.
"We have the opportunity for a very nice public plaza at the City Center," Greer said. "Putting affordable housing there would wreck that."
Mayor Joseph Delfino called Greer's plan "an interesting proposition."
But Delfino added, "It raises a number of procedural and legal issues that would have to be addressed. Naturally, the Cappelli organization is eager to get their approvals for financing. I would hope this would not delay or stall the process."
Cappelli did not return calls for comment.
Council President Thomas Roach and Councilwoman Rita Malmud said they were reluctant to impose eminent domain in this situation.
"In this case, it would be a hostile use of this power," Malmud said.
Jack Harrington had opposed Cappelli's call to use eminent domain to remove the Bar Building at 199 Main St. to make way for his Renaissance Square complex. But Harrington, a former member of the city's Conservation Board and a former president of the White Plains Historical Society, said he would not necessarily oppose the seizure of land under the scenario suggested by Greer.
That property, site of the Karamba Cafe Restaurant, has no historic value, Harrington said. The Bar Building preservation campaign won national historic recognition for the 1926 Gothic and art deco structure.
Roach said the hearing Thursday at City Hall will tackle multiple facets of the affordable housing issue, including price.
"I don't call it affordable housing if it costs $1,800 or $2,000 a month," Roach said.

I've been in White River for a week. Things quickly settled. Living with Cat is pretty boss. I put the Xbox in the living room, so I'm a bit more social.
Our internet connection is super weak. We can only get on every once and a while. Perhaps after I get a job, we can pay for a better connection.
I've mostly been doodling all week. Monty and I are working on something together. If you don't go to school here or didn't hang out with us in Charleston, then it's a secret project. It gave us a chance to use our 24 hour comic creation, Goodnight Moon.
Here are some doodles of her I made this week:
More on that comic when Monty returns.
I've been thinking up an ongoing comic for a few months. One where I can put a character into situations and try to get him out of them. I try not to think of the plot TOO far ahead. That's the fun, making it up as I go. Right now I'm prolly going to call it "This is Howie Do-it".
Here's what I'm thinking he might look like:
So yeah. Some projects forming. It's mostly been nice seeing my school chums. I can't wait for the next school year to start!
Also, I'm going to start posting a diary comic every Friday. Starting this past Friday. Deadline number one: missed!
But here's what I did (sorry it's late):
OH, and my friend Emily has been doing this AWESOME comic about beer: Pints and Panels. You should OBVIOUSLY read it.

text: I've had my share of renting apartments inside the city limits. I may have acquired the most wonderful character and unique touches of the old city life that some people only read about. You couldn't pay me to live in a modern apartment. Nevertheless, this most recent apartment we rented took the cake. I'd never in my life seen a wood stove in an apartment. Granted it was a old style Victorian that they turned into about five apartments, but it certainly didn't seem to have a safe way of heating in any respect, though there it was. Originally, I decided to buy one window box air conditioning unit and then one portable electric heater which you could roll around the apartment. Actually, I know the city never got so cold for any air conditioner, but I know my physical stature and even if I barely ever used it, I wanted it in case I needed it. It just so happened that this year was the worst on record in a long time! It was freezing and I actually was using both my heaters at the same time. I knew this was not going to be good for my heating bill, but the surprise I got was over the top. I couldn't believe it, My partner and I had no idea how much simple little heaters could cost. They were certainly not cost or energy efficient on any level for the heating device. I was getting desperate and chose to give the wood stove a chance. I was floored by the sum of heat this tiny little stove could discharge! It was an intense heat that drowned the complete apartment. I knew this was going to be cheaper option as it was much better than using the portable heaters.

This post is in response to this prompt for ENGL 363: What is young adult literature? What are the concerns/themes of young adult literature? In other words, what is this literature about? How do these stories relate to the fairy tales we read?
What is young adult literature? Just like television shows like Dawson's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity and Popular were geared toward a teenage audience, such is the nature of young adult literature. Nancie Atwell, in her teacher's text In the Middle, that the same way adults use novels to see the "universalities of our condition" (Atwell, 1998, p. 36), so can young adults "find their perspectives reflected and explored in a body of fiction of their own, books that can help them grow up and books that can help them love books" (Atwell, 1998, p. 36).
I tell my reading students that for them, in my class, fiction will be one of two things: a window, or a mirror. And that's essentially what young adult literature is. Young adult literature provides an avenue for adolescents to explore issues and situations that mirror their own lives or the lives of people around them, allow them to make a text-to-self connection, thereby working through the painful issues of adolescence. Young adult literature also provides an avenue for adolescents to explore issues that they are not familiar with, a window into other worlds.
It is difficult to narrow a genre of literature, a growing body of work, into a short list of concerns or themes that interest young adult readers. Some major concerns or themes within this body of literature, those hit close to home for many readers are self-identity/self-discovery, family issues, overcoming adversity, sexuality, and violence.
The two specific major themes from young adult literature that are present in the fairy tales we read are sexuality and violence. Throughout many of the fairy tales we witnessed violence against children, namely in the form of neglect. We've also seen parents' sexuality come into question in the form of lust after their own children. The voice used in The Rose and the Beast (Block, 2000), is decidedly adolescent throughout all of the stories.

What is Young Adult Literature?

well then, if you want to recommend a book to your young readers to read, written precisely in a young adult voice, looking at precisely the kinds of issues of which you speak, taking a critical look at the "adult world" from a young perspective, you may want to check out the debut work by a guy named Eugene Kachmarsky, called Let Slip the Dogs of Love. you won't be sorry you did, and neither will your students. they'll be thinking and talking about it for a long time. check out www.eloquentbooks.com/LetSlipTheDogsOfLove.html.

"Are you Covered? – Catch Up!"
"With many farmers & growers now considering the role Catch and Cover Crops could play in their rotation there is a real thirst for information about them," according to Elsoms Sales Manager, Adrian Hayler. "Following the huge interest shown in these crops at Cereals 2014, we decided to include them in our October Open Days to allow farmers & growers to actually see what they looked like a few weeks after sowing," added Adrian.

"The Open days are from 9am – 4.30pm on Weds 8th and Thurs 9th October at Spalding and there will be the opportunity to see how different types of Catch and Cover crops have developed over the last seven weeks," says Heather Ayre, Elsoms Agricultural Seed Sales Specialist. "The Open Days provide the opportunity to talk to experts from Elsoms and Petersen's about the crops themselves, whilst Brown and Co will provide an update on how they fit into new EU legislation as well as CAP reform in general," commented Heather.

Happy New Year readers!
This is the first time in as long as I can remember that I haven't spent the New Year at a bash with lots of people crossing arms and singing Auld Lang Syne. But from what I've heard, I'm not alone. Gale force winds have cancelled celbrations across the country. My friends in Edinburgh have discovered Hogmany cancelled, the same goes for parties in Belfast, Liverpool, Newcastle etc. I'm not going to a party as I've just taken Heather back to the airport and I don't really feel like it. I think a book and a hot bath will be a fitting way to usher in 2007. I'm reading JPod at the moment, very like Microserfs, or any Douglas Coupland novel for that matter but if you like him, then there's little in this book to take issue with.
Anyway, goodbye 2006, hello 2007. Let's hope it's a good one.

Mojácar: This Thing About Noise
'The Platform MOJACAR WITHOUT NOISE is a nonprofit organization which has been created by a number of neighbours and residents who defend their right to be protected against acoustic aggressions of any type and anti-social behaviour in special during the holidays.
We don't belong to any political party and we believe in the democratic dialogue that generates the balance among the citizens from a responsible position. It has been created because of the continuous disturbances from bars, discos, etc and in residential areas that generated too much noise and anti-social behaviour.
This platform is open to the participation of any neighbour or resident in Mojacar who wants to share, report or look for support in the fighting against the damaging effects of noise or anti-social behaviour'.
Mojácar is bitterly divided between the mayoress' party and the opposition parties. The first is strongly in favour of noise control, with fines for excess noise, live music, 'high heels in apartments', 'playing dominoes noisily' and dogs barking loudly. All very commendable and no doubt a vote-catcher for residents sick of the young tourists who are up all night, boozing and shouting.
On the other hand, the slightly less tenable argument that noise is an inevitable by-product of tourism, which, we are told, is 'our only industry'. Mojácar, they say, lives from tourism, as if the tourists should have precedence over the residents' right to live here peacefully.
Years ago, things were truly awful in the short summer season which Mojácar seems to prefer for its tourist season (with many places closing for the winter once August is over). There were three bars on the side of the village nearest to me and they would play ear-splitting music until four or five in the morning. I once wrote a piece in Spanish for a local newspaper saying that I couldn't fall asleep each night until one or other of the bars played that particular summer hit that I so enjoyed. In reality, music over distance, mixed or otherwise, loses its shape and all you get is the bass line. Boom boom.
Yes, live music is fine, but let's limit it to midnight. Indeed, you could try starting the entertainment a bit earlier!
The arrival of the new anti-noise group may be a political manoeuvre from the Town Hall, cynically outed to gather votes for next May's local elections, or it could just be the cry from people fed up with the ghastly tourist season, now drawing to a close.
But unfortunately, the village fiesta has just started. Extended by an extra day this year to five, the fiesta started with a bang (to coin a phrase) and means to carry on with as much noise and loud music as possible. Last night's band in the main plaza of the village lasted in full boom boom mode until six this morning. The bangs from the 'firecrakers' (as the Town Hall calls them), but thunderflashes to you and me, are enough to scare the animals, make the dogs bark, frighten the horses, and irritate the neighbours. Is the Town Hall against noise? Really?
Above all (and now we shall see if it is really apolitical), will the new anti-noise association make a stand?

these guys have too much time on their hands if they went to all the cost and trouble to set up and register a non profit just to say its too noisy
- craftyani said...
Why wait until now the summer tourists will be gone by next week. Mojacar will return to its quiet little self until end July 2015.
I think it is a shame that the voices of some more outspoken people making noise.... has to ruin it for so many other ones... The silent majority....
- leftbanker said...
How old would you have to be to complain about old dudes playing dominos?
- rj said...
i don't know if the dominoplayers have been hassled much by the police.... but if one happens to live near to (cheap) flats filled with youngsters with no (NONE!!) consideration for the neighbours, who think it's cool to make noise whenever it pleases them, including 2, 6 or 7am when they go/return from 'liquid', then yes, you'd be grateful for the noise-laws too!! and no, those flats weren't here 1st, they came much later!
oh, and what a great benefit for mojacar, those tourists: some big landlords (from barcelona), mercadonna, maui & mandala get all their cash, the rest of us their basura.
thank you mayoress!

Happy New Year star cast, Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Honey Singh are busy touring in UK and US, promoting their movie through Slam! concert.
Much to everybody's surprise, the tour is turning out to be a success and while the stars are busy performing to the Indiawaale anthem, here is the actual behind the scenes action of how the makers filmed the song and composed the song as well.
The troupe will return to India on October 6 and then leave for India tours on October 7 which will run for another week or more as there are seven shows to be conducted in India itself.
Conducted through a joyride on a special 'Happy Dancing' bus, the tour will be reaching cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Indore in the upcoming days.
Speaking about his unique strategy for promoting his movie Shahrukh Khan said, ""For our film, Happy New Year, we wanted to move away from the conventional format of city tours. This time we wanted to go out there and thank them by entertaining them and giving back the love they always give us. When Zee approached us with the concept of a show that celebrates the sheer happiness of dancing as against selecting the most trained and technically sound dancers, it instantly appealed."
He further added, "The concept also holds well with our film. This will be our unique way of promoting our film in different cities. All of us will be performing and judging in this show. The idea is to spread cheer and happiness wherever we all go!"
With so may promotional activities scheduled just before the release of the movie, looks like the Indiawaale will really rock it up at the Box Office as well.

On this note, I would like us to give a moment's silence for Hillary Clinton. Yes, she didn't win but the dream will never die. She's a model to young girls like me everywhere, making us believe that we can achieve anything we want to. Let's face it, for coming so close to presidency, She is a force to be reckoned with.
Today's playlist features Benny Makachi!
One of my friends introduced me to her blog and though I'm a silent reader (mostly on all fashion blogs because I feel like my comments will either be stupid or over-enthusiastic😂), I looove her style ♥♥♥. I'm definitely going to copy #copycat. I like that she looks very confident in whatever she's wearing which, for me, is a lot.
So I asked Benny a few questions
Would you rather be a fast song or a slow song?
Benny : Hmm that's a serious question. I'm an RnB head so I guess that automatically means slow. Again, depending on my mood, it could be fast or slow, so long as it is not noisy.
The one song that describes your life right now.
Benny : Shine your light by Asa
If you could pick a singer's life, who would you be?
Benny : I love my life, thanks! Lol but if I were to pick a singer's life based on outward appearance and style, I would say Rihanna. She's totally killing it and she's so successful.
She blogs here. So check her out!
Here are Benny's top 10 songs
Stacy Barthe – Meanwhile
Bruno Mars -24k magic
Solange -Junie
Yuna ft Usher -Crush
Jilex -Afro lover
Falana – Chances
J.cole – Trouble
Burna boy -Maryjane
Mr eazi-Ohema
Stacy Barthe – You wonder why
For me, I have Adekunle Gold's album on replay, which is weird because I like slow songs a lot.
So check out
The Gold album – Adekunle Gold
Jealous – Labrinth
Andra Day – Rise Up

My first loves were all green: The Incredible Hulk, Kermit, and this giant statue of a green knight that stood in front of a bar in Destin Florida in the late 70's & early 80's.
No kidding.
I think I somewhere misconstrued "a knight in shining armor." And NO, our parents never took us INTO the bar…..it had a little crappy shop attached to it where we bought kites. Gaaah, people.
Later, there was Kirk Cameron, OF COURSE.
Then came the general string of crushes and involvements with various heartbreakers who really existed and that I actually knew. And now I have The Todd.
However, I am thinking of leaving the Todd, striking out for LA and falling madly in love with Jason Segel. I just think he's precious, and pretty cute, to boot – even when he played the slightly gross friend of Seth Rogen in Knocked Up. In fact, it kind of freaks me out that I found him even the slightest bit attractive in that role, but it explains a lot about a lot of those heartbreakers I mentioned.
However, my Jason Segel love really has come to fruition thanks to a bit of trivia about "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." No, NOT the naked breakup scene. The Muppets. In the movie, there's this whole thing about the main character (Segel) and his quest to write a vampire Muppet musical. And I thought, "Hmm. I could get into that. Like a musical about the Count from Sesame Street." And then I promptly forgot about it…until I watched the commentary stuff.
It turns out that the whole vampire puppet bit is in the movie because Jason Segel….the real person, not his character….had the dream of staging a vampire Muppet musical! Now THAT, my friends, is a man after my own heart.
So I was poking around the Internet today, trying to find a clip of the vampre bit to cheer up Chuck the Girl, and I stumbled onto some fabulous news…..Jason Segel is bringing back the Muppets. Chud.com (That stands for Cinematic Happenings Under Development. I know, it got me, too.) interviewed my future main man about the film: "Hopefully it will fall right in the pantheon of The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppet Movie. You know, we're trying to make one of those."
He says they even have a cameo for Charles Grodin. Every time I used to see Grodin on his political show, all I could think of were his wretched dealings with Miss Piggy over the Baseball Diamond. They got you in the end, Nicky Holliday.
So I sat down and weighed out Jason Segel vs. the Todd with a Pro/Con list. And it was running pretty neck-and-neck until I saw this clip, in which I found out that Segel and Neil Patrick Harris randomly break out into duets from Les Miserables when they are bored on the set of How I Met Your Mother.
Muppets AND Les Mis? The Todd is Toast.

The dollar is hanging on to the declining wedge. It has not rallied impulsively. It needs to bounce hard tomorrow, otherwise, it looks potentially like it will attempt to match the 100% target for wave 5 down. This is around the 74 to 74.20 area and would coordinate well with a push in early October till the 7 to 9th. However, the reason that I suggested that the dollar configuration could be consolidative is there are multiple elements that are not pointing to a substantial rally in the markets here. The VIX is one of them. The VIX was up solidly as was the Put/Call. The positive VIX indicates a trend emerging to me, and the put/call may indicate a reaction in the market of a little more upside. I would not prefer to see the dollar fullfill the pattern below. But, the structure for Gold and Gold related stocks and Oil point to higher prices unless we get immediate or very quick reversals. The VIX supports the potential reversal scenario.
So, given the put/call and the $VIX setup, perhaps we are looking at a finishing move up in the am for the transports and indexes and then as sharp reversal. I will be buying into the reversal scenario if VIX takes out the recent highs.

Guinness sales are on the decline in Ireland. There are many interesting reasons but ultimately, it's just not that popular with the kids. "The big challenge for Guinness is to win over the new generation of drinkers.... 'Without a doubt, a lot of our Guinness drinkers are older people,' said Mackin. 'A lot of our marketing and branding is focused on attracting younger and newer people.'"
Bright side: "Sales are doing well in North America and parts of West Africa -- where the stronger, bottled local version of Guinness has a reputation, perhaps undeserved, for everything from helping prevent malaria to enhancing male sexual prowess." Perhaps undeserved? Perhaps? So you're telling me it could enhance male sexual prowess.

Declining probably because all the pubs there are now run by couch potatoes from here in the states who won all their pubs in Guiness promotions, then decided to serve Bud.
(That was a helluva run-on but you know I had to go for it.)

Any man in any pub - anywhere in the world could tell you that Guiness (or any other alcohol consumed in copious quantities*) improves male sexual prowess. As far as they remember.

The Wall
Well, I am sad to report that I have hit "the wall" with my adrenal fatigue recovery, or to put it in different words, I feel like all of my recovery work has been for nothing.
Today I took the kids to the little mini-zoo we have here in Tallahassee to help them burn off some energy and to get us outside, because I was being really short-tempered with them and I thought it might be from being cooped up inside. So, off we went.
We had hardly been there any time at all when suddenly that old exhaustion panic hit me -- I haven't felt it this bad in so long -- and I had to drag the kids back to the car, kicking and screaming, and drive home feeling strange and sluggish and so, so, so tired.
I hate this kind of physical reaction because the kids don't know what's going on -- it's hard to explain to them that even though I have a sour look on my face and I can hardly say anything nice, it's not because they have done anything wrong, and I'm not even mad, I'm just so tired I can barely do anything. Chris got his feelings hurt because I had told him we could go back to the playground, and then I just had to drag everybody out of there after hardly doing anything at all.
Of course, I have lab orders in my purse but I have been putting off getting the lab work done because things have been throwing me off my game, like the layoff, Ben's ankle, my weird unpredictable fluctuating work hours, and I figured the numbers would come back bad from those things, so I wanted to wait until things leveled out again. But as I am learning, there is no such thing as level; as soon as one crisis passes, a new one appears instantly, and I feel like I don't even have time to go to the doctor, anyway.
A few things happened that might have caused this relapse -- first, I think the stress of the sudden layoff, the job applications, the adjusting of the work schedule, and all of the unexpected medical expenses right in that 45 day slump between starting new work and actually getting paid for it (that's right, 45 days! ugh!), followed by some new uncertainties related to contract work have all worked together to get me down a little bit.
Also, I gave blood a few months ago, which put me on my butt for a month, so I will not be doing that again any time soon, unfortunately. That one makes me sad because I used to give blood all the time and now apparently I can't do it anymore.
I have really been trying to compensate for all the stress with good nutrition and getting enough rest, but apparently whatever I'm doing isn't enough. It is always so hard that the times when you need rest and meditation and good nutrition are the times when these things are the hardest to come by.
Now I am trying to ponder whether I should try to get the lab work done somehow and get into the doctor, although the thought of one more doctor visit or trip to a pharmacy makes me want to puke, try to take better care of myself this week and see if I can get myself out of the funk on my own (this option doesn't look as good, as this is what I have been doing for a month already now), and/or cancel the gym membership because I can't even go to the zoo without collapsing in exhaustion. :P It is getting harder to resist the urge to use caffeine again, as I still have work deadlines and life requirements even though I have no energy to meet them. I know that caffeine will only make it worse in the long run, but those first few days would be really nice.
I am mad because I have worked so hard to get well, and now some life situations that I have zero control over have stolen it all away again. I am trying to keep from backsliding into that sludgy helpless fat feeling I was stuck in for Norah's first year. Now that we are coming up on her second birthday, I had hoped to be farther along, but instead I feel I am right back where I started.

Last weekend we made our annual trip down to Manhattan for a K-State football game -- K-State vs UMass.
(Yea, only annual now -- used to be about every weekend in the fall!)
My amazingly talented sister-in-law transformed some purple TOMS in to the most awesome K-state shoes known to man, and this was my first chance to wear them! Pretty sure they're the coolest K-State apparel I own -- and I own a lot of it, so that's saying something! ;)
I also bought purple stone-washed stretch jeans at Wal-Mart for the occasion. I had to -- they matched the shoes almost perfect! It turned out to be a little too warm for jeans that day, so they got returned. Sad.
Matt's roommate and his girlfriend made the 2 hour trip to Manhattan with us. Spenser grew up in Kansas City and had NEVER been to Manhattan. He didn't even really know where it was. Typical KU fan, haha. ;) Ashley, however, grew up in Manhattan, so she was happy to go back for a day!
First stop: Aggieville. I always get so excited when I walk down the main street and see the big purple Wildcat on the roof of Varney's. Just love it. :)
Just like the game we went to last year, this Saturday happened to be High School Band Day. High Schools from all over the state brought their band to the game, and they had a parade through Aggieville before hand.
K-State's band
Great Bend High School (where I'm from) rocking some awesome hats
There was a new Mexican place, Taco Lucha, we wanted to try (well, new to us...turns out it had been open for over a year...) so we went and put our name on the list. There's a wait everywhere on game day. We gave Spen the tour of Aggieville, stopped in a few shops / bars, and enjoyed the parade of bands as we waited. (One school had 7 members in their band. Seriously.)
We finally got a seat at a little table outside (such a cute restaurant, btw) and quickly ordered some cheese dip for an appetizer. We were all ravenous by that point.
|It didn't last long. At all.
We also ordered an absurd amount of tacos. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. And everyone except me got a drink. Apparently a very strong drink, because they were all half-drunk by the time we left the place!
|Too. Much. Food.
I was dying for some Call Hall Ice Cream -- the best ice cream ever, if you ask me -- so after a quick tour of campus (kind of), we stopped there. Of course the line was seriously all the way through the building. Ugh. We didn't have time to wait on that. With two people working, it would have been 45 minutes at least. So disappointed!
|Call Hall. Where the magic happens.
The only way we could convince Spenser to come to Manhattan for the day was if we promised to take him to Tall Grass Brewery, where they were having their "world release" of their new monkey zombie beer. Monkey Zombie? Seriously? Ugh. Pretty much my worse nightmare. Beer and zombies. Bleh.
|The boys were so excited for their monkey/zombie beer glasses!
Not only were their annoyingly drunk zombies everywhere, but the brewery was super hot, smelled like beer (shocking, I know, but I hate that smell) and there were flies everywhere. I stood patiently and pretended to enjoy myself for about an hour, when thankfully, they were ready to go!
This was the dark section with experimental beers. Ridiculous.
The only good thing that happened there was that some lady offered my $100 for my awesome kicks. Didn't happen. I wouldn't sell them for $1,000! (Well...maybe I would for that much.) ;)
So now the boys were drunk AND tired, so we went back to Aggieville for some coffee to wake them up. Matt actually fell asleep (passed out?) in the front seat on the 10 minute drive. So I smacked him and he jumped at least three feet, hahaha. Hilarious. (He didn't think so!)
Before coffee, we stopped in a little Acme gift store to browse. We heard the boys just dying laughing. I mean, uncontrollably laughing so hard they were crying. Both of them. We were dying to know what was so hilarious...
...and then they showed us THIS. A freaking FART book. Ugh. Boys. They never grow up.
Farts around the world. For real??
After coffee and snacks from Bluestem Bistro to perk us up, we set out for the stadium to find my friend at her tailgate. They had quite the set up in a perfect spot, so we hung out there for a little bit and helped ourselves to some free food!
Kathy and I at her tailgate
I was getting pretty antsy to get in to the game and see the new stadium additions. I like the pre-game stuff better than the actual game itself!
The new West Gate - which looks like a castle - and the view of it from the other side
|I love Bill Snyder Family Stadium!
We got our tickets from a co-worker of ours, and they were pretty good seats! Can't complain since we got four seats together to a sold out game the week before!
The view from our seats.
|Instagram makes all pictures look better!
The game wasn't very exciting. Especially since I was the only one who really even cared about it! K-State looked a little rough. Nothing like last year. So we ended up leaving at half-time...and I was okay with that. (And they ended up winning!)
We went back down to Aggieville - beat the rush - and got right in the door at my favorite spot, So Long Saloon. Two raspberry black bean cheese dips were consumed in about 5 minutes. Yum. Matt and I split a burger, too. Poor Matt. This was his 3rd trip to Manhattan...and his 3rd time eating at So Long Saloon. He probably thinks that's the only place that serves food in Aggieville! ;)
Dessert was up next ... and donuts were the winner! Varsity Donuts was completely empty, so we took over the place. I made Matt serenade us on the piano, while Ashley and Spen enjoyed their donuts.
We noticed they had a couple of shelves of board and card games, so we got out, "Would You Rather...?" and had a grand old time, haha. Most of the questions were so absurd they had us all laughing too hard.
So much for partying it up in Aggieville after the game -- which was our originaly plan. We're getting too old for that. We were all worn out and tired by 10pm, so we hit the road. And since everyone else had drank, I got drive. (Even though I was the only one who got up at 6am and ran 14 miles. Obviosyly still a little bitter about that.) ;)
Besides the long drive home where I was fighting to keep my eyes open, it really was a fun day. Any day in Manhattan -- especially one that includes a K-State football game -- is automatically pretty awesome in my book. :)

Kristopher Orr
Today is the end of Kristopher's 4 month internship with me through BYU-Idaho. It has been one crazy ride. He has literally been with me through thick and thin over the last 4 months which included but is not limited to:
1. traveling to Santa Barbara, Las Vegas and Newport Beach (all in the first week of the internship)
2. a HUGE office move
3. installing a butt load of shelves
4. traveling to LA, Napa, San Francisco, Oakland, Birmingham, Washington DC/Balitmore, and now (TODAY) to Denver
5. eating some of the tastiest food known to man in Provo, Lehi, Salt Lake City and all over where we have traveled
6. getting really close with my kids, especially Ruby (seen above, she's going to miss him so...)
7. movie premiers, and other movies
8. new cameras
9. developing and scanning a TON of film
10. commercial shoots out the wazoo
All while having the time of our lives. It seriously has been the craziest 4 months ever, but it also has been seriously amazing as well. Kirstopher is one of the hardest working people I know, if not the hardest. Did you know before he dove into photography, he was a NEURO SCIENCE MAJOR? Yeah, he's really one smart cookie. And to boot, seriously, he is just one of the coolest and nicest guys I've ever met (don't let the scary serious faced images fool you). A big THANK YOU to Kristopher for everything he's done over the last 4 months (and that is a TON). We are already planning a family trip up to Ft. McCloud (outside of Alberta) CANADA sometime this summer to hang out on his family's ranch.
You can check his work out HERE. I'm positive, once he gets out of college, you'll be seeing and hearing a lot more from him, and his work.

We had brunch before church. All extended family members were invited but not everyone came which resulted in a lot of leftover muffins. All the better for me to undo everything the 5K training did.
Everyone came to the church to hear Flannel speak. He didn't talk very much about his mission because we had heard so much the night before, but he gave a really good talk about teaching the gospel in the home (I don't think that was the actual topic, but that is what applied to me). He said something like, "Duty and responsibility makes you do something. Love makes you do it well." I need to ask him for the exact quote.
After church, Everett took a nap. This is an adorable baby. He is so cuddly. Most people left town right after Sacrament Meeting so the house was very quiet.
After dinner, Holly came over to see us. I am glad she was willing to load up her kids and come over, because I was not about to head out again. I was being really lazy. I had fun visiting with her and meeting her three kids.
Camille stopped by to pick up something for her little sister. We only got to talk for a few minutes but I was glad to see her.
Alex has never needed so many baths. He was a disaster from playing so hard all day long. Daddy made his towel do a magic trick and Alex was so impressed.

After yesterday's adventures to put it lightly I had a very productive day today. It began with playing with my son hide and seek then we cleaned the garage, washed my broken car, collected all the leaves from our back yard, washed the back deck, went for a 3 mile hike with a friend and her mom and met a friend at a park for play date then came home to make bread.
I think that I was so determined to have a good day that I just kept going like the energizer bunny. I really miss my husband and I tend to make myself very busy when I miss him.
I was a bit nervous about making the bread since I have never done that before and I don't have a bread machine. None the less I had no bread and husband highly recommended not driving my car with the clutch on the fritz, and even though I could walk to the store, or ask someone for help my friend talked me into trying my hand at bread baking. Why not it is a wonderful opportunity. So I got the recipe from Food.com and it came out delish. I think I will be trying my hand at more types of bread beyond the French bread. All in all a very good day indeed.

Look to the right and it looks like a regular type of gun. It is a gun but far from regular. It is a prototype of the US Navy's latest railgun. The version shown here is a 32 megajoule version. BAE which is producing this in-particular weapon does plan to get 64 megajoule versions later down the road.
At this point in time the military gunsare able to hit targets 15 miles out effectively. They can score some hits with GPS at up to 30 miles if conditions are right. With this gun they hope to hit targets in-between 50 to 100 nautical miles. That is a tremendous difference and if they get up to 64 megajoule they hope to hit targets at 250 nautical miles.
At these speeds this gun is going to be hitting its opponents and literally obliterated theme. Take this into consideration bullets from a sniper rifle travel at about 2500 to 3500 fps. Projectiles from this weapon are about 8720 fps. I think the pink mist will steam at those speeds. The only peace of mind an individual might have by being hit with one of these projectiles is not knowing what the h*** hit them.
Countries around the world are building these weapons. So in the not so far distant future we will see these guns being used against each other. Pretty scary however compared to a nuke umm pretty light. I will keep you posted as more information on these types of guns come out.

Goodbye First Tooth
Kyrie was eating her snack of apples and peanut butter this afternoon and bit down on something hard, so she spit it out. She felt a space in her mouth with her tongue where a previously wiggly central incisor had once resided.
She was very enthusiastic! So was Mommy! I was very glad that it fell out instead of me having to convince her to let me pull it. This morning she was complaining about it hurting, so I told her that we could pull it quick and make it stop hurting. She clasped her hands over her mouth and shook her head vigorously. No go.
BTW, these pictures were taken with my camcorder, and I am pleased at the way these ones turned out- especially the first one.

Aww! She looks so cute sans tooth! I just had to pull one of ds's teeth last week - a top center one and it wasn't fun! It tooks us days to get it out because he didn't want us to pull it. It was sticking STRAIGHT out of his mouth and the other tooth was coming in behind it. We finally got it though!!

Finally some quilting time
After a full day of cleaning and organizing the sewing room, I finally got 15 minutes of quilting in before bedtime. I love these warm, snuggly flannel quilts. They are just random size strips, but are coordinated by theme and I know some little boy is going to love this one. This is #54 out of 60. Tomorrow is a full day of kid stuff planned. My son's best friend from middle school who moved to Alaska last year is coming through for a short visit. We are meeting them for pizza and frozen yogurt and then my daughter is having a sleepover, hence the cleaning marathon. I still have a bit of stashing to do in the sewing room. I wish on days like this my sewing room had a door I could just close :)

, NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 15 – Kenya\'s deferral motion on Tuesday suffered another blow after civil society organisations presented 1.4 million signatures, against the move to three permanent members of the Security Council, who have always opposed the bid.
The lobbyists made their petition to the American, British and French governments as well as to the non-permanent Council members requesting them to turn down Kenya\'s application terming it a delaying tactic meant to sway next year\'s elections.
American Ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger said that the deferral motion would promote impunity adding that the US would frustrate Kenya\'s appeal.
"The Vice President was seen by our Deputy Secretary of State but let me just say that we made our position very clear. We are firmly opposed to a deferral. I think that speaks for itself and I\'m not going to say it anymore because I think it is absolutely clear," he said.
British High Commissioner to Kenya Rob Macaire further warned Kenya against using the Security Council as a means to shield itself from criminal responsibility.
He argued that the Council only came in when issues of international security were threatened and that it was not mandated to interfere with the ICC process.
"If the Security Council was to come in and defer a case for any other reason that is not stipulated in the Rome Statute, it will be undermining the independence of the ICC and it will set a very bad precedent for future ICC cases," he argued.
French Ambassador to Kenya Etienne de Poncins however took a softer stance saying he did not wish to pre-empt Wednesday\'s informal discussions at the Council, where Kenya\'s request would be considered.
He said that discussions surrounding the issue were still ongoing and that Kenyans should wait for the outcome.
Kenya has been invited to the meeting together with officials from the African Union where they are likely to argue why they want the ICC cases delayed for one year. After they make their presentations, the Council will decide whether or not to list the matter on its agenda.
"Time has not come for formal vote so we will not take a position now. We are still in the listening phase and we now want to enter into a dialogue because time has, for us, not yet come for a definitive stance," said Ambassador Poncins.
Meanwhile the civil societies added that they would enjoin themselves as interested parties in favour of the ICC when the Court\'s admissibility and jurisdiction would be challenged.
Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) Commissioner Hassan Omar argued that Kenya invited the ICC to investigate the post poll chaos and should therefore stop changing tunes.
"The ICC prosecutor came to Kenya courtesy of all Kenyans and he meets the President and Prime Minister in all his visits so that is not a person who is gate crushing a state function. That is a person who is coming for serious business; not to market the ICC as a tourist destination," he countered.
Mr Omar added that Kenya would set a bad example to the rest of the African countries if it continued politicising the ICC process.
"If impunity succeeds in Kenya, then it will succeed in the rest of Africa. Kenya set precedence about sharing power and we see that being replicated across Africa. We are going to see a situation where African countries don\'t deal with perpetrators of violence," he said.
The non-governmental organisations also claimed that they had already sent 600,000 signatures from individual Kenyans, to the ICC, registering their support for the Court.

- The purpose of this work is to study the 20Li(2)O-80TeO(2) glass using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques in order to understand the crystallization kinetics on this glass matrix. To study the glass by DSC, screened samples with different particle sizes to resolve the observed asymmetrical crystallization peak were used. DSC curves for particles smaller than 38 mum in size show two distinct crystallization peaks, associated to distinct phase transformation in this glass, leading to activation energies at 301 and 488 kJ mol(-1). XRD analysis reveals that the first crystallization peak is attributed to TeO2 crystalline phase while the second one to the alpha-TeO3 and an unidentified phase.(C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

TERM ONEWelcome to Gr 6 English! You will find links to websites and extra activities when you click on Symbaloo.
Hi there, everyone!! Welcome back to a VERY busy term! You will have noticed that our timetable has changed, and that we will not be having our computer/English classes. This is to accommodate the rehearsal schedule for the school play, so let's 'just do it'! ( Mr Cod has assured me that the timetable will revert to normal after the play.)
I know that for some of you, the idea of the exams at the end of the term is quite scary; I do understand, but I mean it when I say that there really is nothing to be scared of. Just pace yourself and do the work as and when you get it. Don't leave things 'for later', because 'later' has a nasty habit of sneaking up on a person, and before you know it, you'll be planning your next holidays! I expect you to work on your own at home, so make sure you follow my instructions carefully.
You will notice that there is another Symbaloo page for you to check out. I think you'll find it helpful for revision work, especially in your other subjects. Please feel free to suggest some ideas to put onto the Symbaloo page! Also, don't forget reachateacha.blogspot.com for extra lessons for English.
Hello everyone!! I hope you are 'raring to go' this term, and that you will find our lessons challenging and meaningful.
Can you believe it? Your final term in Gr 6!!! Good luck to all of you as you begin the countdown to the end of the year...
Symbaloo Term 4

I am very pleased to be represented by two moderate Republican Senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. I really believe that moderation is the only way we can get out of this terrible mess in Washington DC. But I must tell you about a very frustrating experience I had last week with regard to Senator Collins. As I understand it, there was a bill in the Senate that would extend the payroll tax reduction for all Americans. Collins "held her nose" and voted for this bill. She was unhappy because there was no consideration for "small business". Here is her official statement:
"I have long said that multimillionaires and billionaires who are not running businesses could pay more of their income to help us deal with the deficit. But I feel strongly that we must ensure that small business owners who pay taxes through the individual income tax system are protected. These are our nation's job creators. That is why I have called for a "carve-out" that would shield these important small businesses from tax increases that could make it more difficult for them to grow and add jobs.
A day or two later, my Senator presented a bill that had the "carve out" she was looking for in the original bill. Here is a report from the news conference:
Collins said that of 392,000 Americans who filed income tax returns last year who earned more than $1 million, 13 percent of them were small business owners who filed business income under a personal income tax return and would be protected by the exemption.
Ok – so let's do the math. In the US, there are approximately 140 million tax filers. In the state of Maine, there are approximately 633,674 tax filers. If, in the US, we have 392,000 tax filers who make more than 1 million in a given year, how many live in Maine.
This simple algebra equation yields an answer of 1,744. That is assuming that all things are equal and ignoring the fact that a huge number of these super rich live in New York and Washington DC.
So, if we consider the 13% who are "small businesses", the number of constituents that Senator Collins is fighting the good fight for equals 231. That's right, 231 possible small business owners who may get taxed an extra 3.25% on their earnings over 1 million dollars. These "job creators" are, allegedly, going to sit on their hands, not working hard to get ahead and develop those new jobs because of a 3.25% tax on their income over 1 million dollars.
I have been a small business owner. My family owned and operated a very successful reprographics business in Norwalk Ct. So let me explain how this works.
Reprographics Plus was a sub chapter S corporation. That means that we would pay corporate taxes on profits as well as personal income tax on those same profits – double taxation. There is a simple solution to this. Our fiscal year ended on July 31st. Every year around the middle of July, the accountants would report to us how much "profit" the company was going to make. We would then "bonus" ourselves the profit in accordance to how much stock we owned. Reprographics Plus never made a profit (if we could help it) and we were taxed on our bonuses as part of our adjusted gross income.
In the above scenario, Senator Collins is concerned that if my bonus pushed my adjusted gross income over 1 million dollars, I would be unwilling or unable to generate the jobs my (wildly) successful business should generate. Sorry Senator, I think you have other constituents who may need your help more.
Take, for example, MaineCare – the state Medicaid programs. You know, this is one of those entitlements that undeserving slackers use to sponge off the government. The governor of Maine wants to cut 120 million from MaineCare. About half of that money is paid to "private nonmedical institutions" (read nursing homes) also known as PNMIs. Here is a quote from the paper yesterday:
Richard Erb, president and CEO of the Maine Health Care Association, said his organization represents 100 of the 135 PNMIs in Maine that serve the elderly. Of those 4,000-plus residents, the average age is 81, 70 percent are female, 89 percent have no spouse, and 46 percent suffer from Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.
And 79 percent, Erb said, rely on MaineCare.
What happens to them if they're simply erased from the MaineCare rolls? "I don't think that question has been answered yet," Erb replied. "There's a lot of shock coming from our member facilities -- there is also the reaction that they can't possibly do this. But I haven't seen a real proposed solution yet."
So, lets do the math.
79% of the 4000 MaineCare residents would be 3,160.
Now…whom do you think needs the Senators constituent services more, the 3,160 old, destitute, demented elderly women or the 231 millionaires?
OK – it's kind of a cheap shot. But you get my point. There are 1.3 million people in Maine. Who is this woman representing?
In the American Golden Era of prosperity and power, 1945 to 1980, the tax rate on rich people was as high as 91% over a certain amount. With that money, we built the greatest country known to the world. I'm not advocating 91%, but I don't buy the line that letting the rich keep their money is going to help me.
By the way, my family business…yea, we sold it to a consolidator. Selling the business was the smart move. Technology was killing the small family firms. The consolidator built a nationwide business out of a dying industry and sold out to Wall Street before anybody realized that the industry he had consolidated sold the modern version of buggy whips. The net effect of that "deal" was a hundred or so business owners selling out and getting their bag of money and all the shops degrading into poorly managed, marginally profitable units, owned by stockholders who were sold a pig in a poke.
The consolidator is now a very rich man and my old employees are either unemployed or working for exploitive wages. I don't regret my decision to sell out. But I don't think my story is very different from many other industries. That is the real truth about how all the money has flowed to a small group of very rich people. It didn't create jobs and it didn't "trickle down". It just made a small group of very smart and very rich people a lot richer.

Alright, another exciting day, another exciting post.
I've had a lot on my plate today. I went to the recycling center! Isn't that exciting?! I've earned $4.30...in one day! Just for driving a couple blocks. Well, that, and I had to look at ugly empty Diet Pepsi cans for the last three weeks
With all the Diet Pepsi we go through around this apartment, you would think we'd get rich recycling, right? Wrong. I used to think that way and then I realized that we spend far more money on the actual Diet Pepsi than we get back with the cans. It's just not fair. Promises were made, damnit!
Anyway, as I was lugging the two bags of cans out of my back seat, I overheard these guys who worked there arguing about when they should take their lunch. Lunch? The place smells like a vomitorium (The Roman kind, not the theatre kind). How could they think about lunch? It's amazing what people can get used to. Have you ever been near a slaughterhouse? I'll bet those people eat lunch too. I wonder if they eat meat for lunch and then quip about their bologna sandwich saying things like "remember when this looked like a cow?" And then another worker would say, "Doug," (that's the one worker's name) "Doug, the part of the animal that this came from never looked like a cow." And then they'd all laugh and put more ketchup on it? Something to think about, I guess.
In the 5th, 6th, and 7th grade I lived in a small town, population: one thousand, called Odessa Washington. And during that time I had a girlfriend (off and on, it was a rocky romance, damn you Duane Polinski!) her name was Jody Kay Kolterman. Jody's parents managed the trailer park on one side of town (it was a pretty nice trailer park at the time so keep your jokes to yourself). I would spend a lot of time with her even though I lived all the way on the other side of town. I was willing to make the hard ride to see her every day (five minutes on my bike). Now, her parents sole source of income wasn't the trailer park, they had another job. One day Jody asked me if I wanted to eat lunch with her and her parents at their work. If you had known me then (I weighed the same as I do now, I think), you would know that I would never turn down free pizza, so I went.
Now, Jody's parents were good people…I think…I mean I was 10 at the time, they seemed good to me. They wore hats with their nicknames on them and people called them by those nicknames. I don't think that I ever learned their real names and I can't remember what their nicknames were but they were something like "Creepy" and "Scraggy." Those aren't them, but that's real close (please keep in mind that it was a nice trailer park).
I digress.
I met up with Jody Kay at her double-wide and we headed out towards the railroad tracks to where her parents worked. In Odessa everyone worked near the railroad tracks. So, we get there and drop our bikes at the door. Just inside the sliding steel door I can see her parents with two boxes of pizza. So, me being the little butterball that I was, rush in to eat (when I was a kid the only place I rushed to was a meal, you would think that I would have dropped a few pounds, or at least been a little embarrassed by my actions, especially when I did it in high school…I'm not kidding).
That's when it hit me. The smell. They worked in an ammonia plant!
I'm not kidding. It was awful. If you want an idea of what it was like, go to your cabinet, open up the ammonia, and stick your nose in it. Now try to eat a stick of pepperoni. It was the first time in my life that I was starving, and yet at the same time, not hungry. I tried to be gracious. I didn't want "Itchy" and "Scratchy" to think that I was ungrateful. So, somehow, I just kept gnawing on the same slice for the next half-hour while my head felt like it was literally pushing out my ears. None of the others seemed to be having the same problem that I was. I think they finished off both pies. Man.
And that was the day that I discovered what the 60's were all about.
Fun Fact: I once collected about 300 Snapple Lemon Iced Tea bottles. They took up most of my bedroom closet and apartment storage area. I was going to make a castle out of them, but I threw them away instead.
Somewhere, in LA, a transient is weeping.
