Was it on here....someone saying winching isnt
Funeral services are set for Thursday for a volunteer firefighter from South Dakota who died Tuesday of head injuries sustained at the scene of a brush fire last week. Thomas "Emmett" Kuehl, 38, a member of the Elkton Volunteer Fire Co., was behind the wheel of a fire truck when it got stuck. A tractor was being used to pull it out when the tow cable snapped, crashed through the windshield and struck him in the head. He was taken to a local hospital, and later flown to Sioux Valley Hospital in Sioux Falls where he died. Funeral services are set for 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Elkton Public School. Elkton, a community of about 650 is located about 50 miles from Sioux Falls. |

Im not saying winching isn't dangerous because it can be... but the way I read that they were not winching.... they were being pulled out by a tractor.
If they were jerking on the cable I wouldnt be suprised in the slightest Quote:

do i look old !
Im guessing this is from a fire fighters mag ? or was it some one you knew .
Every month the towing mag has 2 or 3 death stories from road side hits . I think they do that in the mag to try and keep our heads out of our ass regarding the jobs we do . RIP to your comrade Deke :gman: |

"The Situation"
This is why its soo importan to take that extra step in saftey.. Open your hood while winching, if you have a truck with a tool box open the toolbox lid, these will slow down or most likely stop the flying cable or strap. Also ALWAYS put a heavy Blanket or Jacket over the winching line or best of all just pop the extra money and buy synthetic line. You may spend 300 bux now but later down the rd when that baby lets go you'll be glad you did !

If you thought you'd be retiring on that big fat cheque from EA because you domain parked yourself at Battlefield16.com, then think again. EA has been on the war path and annexed a few more slithers of the internet. The publisher already held ownership of domains all the way up to Battlefield9.com, but their legal department decided to snatch some more just in case. Pure numeracy is cool, who needs subtitles? Battlefield 20 may sound a little far-fetched but just look at Final Fantasy, and EA certainly aren't shy about serialising the heck out of their sports franchises. FIFA 13 anyone? The domain name registrations were acquired May 2nd through brand protection group Corporation Service Company, who has even more Battlefield-related web addresses to its portfolio. EA spent $80,000 to acquire the Battlefield.com domain. Some are owned by those not related to EA. Battlefield 4 is expected to release this fall, with speculation on October 29th. |

| Flexco Introduces New State-of-the-Art Test RigCustom-made rig was specifically designed by Flexco engineers to put a variety of products to work and measure the success and compatibility of each.
The rig replaces the previous test rig, which was utilized heavily for the past 30-plus years at Flexco. "The diversified product offering at Flexco, combined with increased belt tensions and the continuing evolution of belt construction, prompted us to invest in this new rig," Greg Westphall, director of engineering at Flexco, said. "It's a one-of-a-kind machine designed and built by Flexco to enhance our testing platform and accelerate our design process." Westphall is quick to point out that, although the new rig is a significant upgrade from the previous one, it is not designed to replace field-testing. Instead, the new test rig ensures that products have undergone rigorous in-house testing before being placed in the field. While the previous rig was focused mainly on testing mechanical belt fastening systems, the new rig will test the full line of Flexco products, including trackers, cleaners, plows, rollers, and lagging. Located in close proximity to the engineering department at the Downers Grove, Ill. headquarters of Flexco, the rig measures 24 feet (7.3 m) high and 12 feet (3.6 m) feet wide and weighs approximately 60,000 lbs. The rig is modeled after the DIN-22110-2 Standard. It is equipped with six lagged 32" (800 mm) pulleys with a maximum belt speed of 1600 ft/min (~8 m/s). Belt widths from 8" to 32" (200 mm to 900 mm) can be tested, while tension can be cycled dynamically up to 120,000 lbs (533 kN) of force. The rig also features HMI touch-screen technology, hydraulically- "While the capabilities of the rig are impressive, the size offers additional benefits," Westphall states. "When you can test cleaning, fastening, tracking, and other product functions all at the same time, you not only gauge the performance of individual products, but also their compatibility. This aligns with the Flexco philosophy of a holistic approach to maximizing belt conveyor productivity." For more information on Flexco products, programs, or services, log on to www.flexco.com. # # # Flexco provides the world's belt conveyors with efficient, safe products, services, and solutions for splicing, belt cleaning, belt tracking, spillage, and slippage. The company is based in Downers Grove, Illinois and operates subsidiaries in Australia, Chile, China, England, Germany, India, Mexico, Singapore, and South Africa. Flexco markets its broad line of products through a worldwide network of distributors, under the Flexco®, Mineline®, Rockline®, CoreTech™, and Tasman Warajay Technology names. End

This media cabinet was custom made for a customer that wanted a unique architectural element integrated into the piece that is to be placed directly below a wall mounted flat screen television. The wood is all reclaimed barn wood taken from North Georgia area barns. The centerpiece is a salvaged vent cover from Architectural Exchange in Chattanooga, Tn. The ring pulls were handcrafted in North Carolina. A wax paste finish was used as a finish to give some protection while keeping the raw material and color natural. The top is all butcher block style made with both red and white oak.

Posted: January 12, 2007 Spiritual CaregivingGaining Release: Healing Hands and Labyrinths
The sun is shining, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and my heart is filled with gratitude. I (Rauni) walk into my "sacred garden" and stop to read the sign I placed at the entrance: "A kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth, one's nearer God's heart in the garden, than anywhere else on earth." I have spent many blissful hours with my hands in this earth. Hands are so important. Yesterday, I taught healing touch at our Center for Integrative Medicine. I love these classes. I get to watch people discover something about themselves -- perhaps that we all are closer to God than we may have imagined. And when we discover our power to heal -- power transferred with pure intent through our hands to a patient -- it is always amazing. This healing power of touch dates back at least to Hippocrates, the Greek physician and father of modern medicine, who noted that "a force flows from many people's hands." This energy has different names in different cultures: chi in China, prana in India, mana in Polynesia. Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians have other names for ancestral healing practices similar to healing touch. Until fairly recently, the tradition of "hands-on healing" was ignored by conventional Western medicine. Scripps Health, a five-hospital campus in San Diego has been providing healing touch since 1993, and has offered training to more than 1,200 people, mostly nurses, over the last dozen years. Today it is common practice for cardiac surgery patients to receive healing touch before and after surgery in the intensive care unit and every day until discharge. Healing touch is also provided in the center for outpatients. "It's the glue that kept me together" while undergoing conventional therapy, say many of the cancer patients who receive it. A therapeutic intervention, an educational program, and an international organization that provides certification and formulates standards of practice, healing touch is now taught all over the country and in many parts of the world, with the commitment to "spreading the healing light worldwide." What is this light? Traditional healers believe that the human energy system is full of vibrational frequencies. These frequencies flow in the body's seven chakras (energy vortices), each vibrating at a different frequency and therefore manifesting as a different color to those who can perceive them. When we combine our chakras' colors -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet -- we get pure white light. We are this light. This light is love. Recognizing this light in another is the foundation for greetings in many spiritual traditions -- such as Namaste, which means "the light in me greets the light in you," or "the Christ in me greets the Christ in you" . . . . So I say to you, Namaste. Mimi Guarneri, M.D., and Rauni King, R.N., are codirectors of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla, California. Guarneri is the author of The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing (Touchstone, February 2006). _____ For Spiritual Exercise, Use This Labyrinth Locator By Lauren Artress Looking for a spiritual exercise? Walk a labyrinth! Better still, make a date with a friend and do it together. Many labyrinths at churches are open only at certain times, so call ahead. But labyrinths are also found in parks and playgrounds. Any time of the month is fine, but walks during the full moon or the summer solstice can be extra special. Labyrinths aren't mazes; they are not designed to trick you. Just follow the path to center at your own natural pace. This frees the mind and releases intuition. You may pass others or let them pass you. It's a two-way street, so you may meet people going in the opposite direction. Greet them if you wish; there is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth. The effectiveness of a labyrinth walk is determined by your experience. Pay attention to what it stirs in you. Does it create a peaceful state within? Renew your sense of connection to the invisible web of creation? Or swirl images in your imagination like autumn leaves in a wind? If you're already familiar with labyrinths, take along a question — not a "head" question, but one from your heart. Once you find your pace, allow your mind to quiet and then gently bring the question into your awareness. Ask it, and then let it rest within you. Answers come in all forms.
To locate a labyrinth near you, go on Veriditas.net and click on Labyrinth Locator.

Open to Interpretation
The Frankenkoller is a simply, yet elegantly designed collar for anyone who likes wearing collars. It's the perfect length for anyone with a neck from fifteen to twenty-one and one half inches. Its thin neckband makes it comfortable to wear and its large d-ring leaves it open to interpretation.Published:
Simple, elegant design, unisex.
Conway clasp, almost no leather smell.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the
FTC guidelines.
What an interesting clasp - I have never seen one of those before.
Good review! -
I had once before but it was ages ago and I never tried to actually use it. I hate it. ~sniffle~ But it serves it's purpose. Thanks!
This is a brilliant review, I received a different Leatherbeaten collar and the clasp confounds me. We still haven't secured it properly (we're pretty sure) every time we try and think we've got it, it just looks and feels so wrong. Argh!
Lol. Yeah, the clasps are sort of annoying. I mean, kudos for trying something new! But if your customer can't use the thing, it's sort of useless. I'll take functionality over aesthetic value any day.
SD and MR, thanks very much for your comments, and I'm sorry you don't like the Conway.
I like them for a number of reasons, including the aesthetic profile, the fact that it can be adjusted from both sides so as to centre the buckle, and because it maximises the adjustment potential of a given length of leather.
Still, I recognise that the thickness of the leather on the Frankie makes adjustment more difficult. That will likely ease up as the leather softens over time. I think what we can do as manufacturers is to skive the leather at the buckle ends so the fastener moves more easily.
SD, I'm guessing you got the little Pretty, with the dee and post? I think that's the only other collar we do with the Conway. It shouldn't be too difficult to secure it; you need to figure out which holes you'll be using on each side. Slide one end of the strap all the way through the buckle, passing the spike through the appropriate hole. Then do the same (from the opposite side) with the other end of the strap; it should lay right over the first end, and the spike should pass through both holes. The spike on the buckle is tapered, so it may be necessary to press down a little, but it ought to feel secure. Once you have it set up where you want it, you can put it on and take it off by just removing the one end. If you find there is too much 'tail" for want of a better word on the collar after you've adjusted it for yourself, you can trim the extra with a sharp knife.
Good luck, or, alternatively, Argh!
SD, or possibly the Big Spiky or the Dauphine
It is a bit tricky to figure out at first, but once you do, it's lovely! I like the clasp actually.
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Frankenkoller review page!

This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the "liberal media" lie. This blog is on temporary hiatus because of my job and thin-skinned Republicans.

Revived Quote of the Week feature highlights GOP VP pick
The recent open mike situation showed that right-wingers are just as appalled as the rest of the country is over the choice of the inexperienced and ethically-challenged Sarah "Spiro" Palin as the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee.
A new feature here at The Conservative Media is the Quote of the Week. This is similar to our Ann Coulter Quote of the week, but this will not always be as disgusting as those that come from the queen of hate. However, she may be featured on occasion. You never know what stupid, hateful crap will come out of her mouth.
This inaugural quote comes from conservative radio talk show host and self-styled family expert Laura Schlessinger where she talks about Grampy McSame's pandering pick of Palin as his running mate:
"I'm stunned - couldn't the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn't want a "mature" woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?
I am haunted by the family pictures of the Palins during political photo-ops, showing the eldest daughter, now pregnant with her own child, cuddling the family's newborn."

I gave him fair warning, "Michael." If he wants to limit his insults to just how stupid he thinks I am, then he is welcome back. If he wants to stay on topic, he's welcome back. Otherwise, screw him. I don't ask much from people. Besides, he'll be back under another name.
Hell, he's done that in the past. - 1:03 PM

I am extremely disappointed in the choice of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Republican Party. I will still vote for Senator McCain, because I am very concerned about having a fundamental leftist, especially one who is a marvelous orator, as President.
Lets include the 1st paragraph from he same posting.
Nobama is a fundamental Leftest. - 5:28 PM
- liberalshateusa said...
Correction "Her posting",
- Communications guru said...
No, Sen. Obama is a liberal Democrat, a patriotic American and the next President of the United States.
"Dr." Laura is just another rightwing whack job. Her entire post is full of shit. Spiro Palin is clearly not quailed to be president or even vice-president, but it's not because she has children. - 7:52 PM
- liberalshateusa said...
If so why did you use her as your :Quote of the week" seems foolish.
- ka_Dargo_Hussein said...
Remember all the sexism talk? Aimed at the Democrats? What do you think Schlessinger is doing?
- Communications guru said...
Because she's typical of hysterical right-wingers. She's pointing out the inconstancies and the hypocrisy of people like you. She points out that Spiro Palin shouldn't be vice-president because she has five children, a normal rightwing position, yet right-wingers think she's the greatest thing since sliced bread when one of her only qualifications seems to be she has five children, a pregnant teen and a Downs Syndrome infant. If Democrats point out any of this, they are sexist and attacking her.

Leaves of Thanks
We had pizza and I put on a shirt I may have worn three times this week. Not for whole days though. (The shirt wearing was in memoriam of an epic night last weekend, but that is for another post.)
Our best family moments are usually unplanned. They are squeezed in. Afterthoughts, based on what seems efficient at the time.
That's how the leaves started tonight. I thought, "Wait, we're all sitting here at the same time, with no school tomorrow so the kids can stay up a few minutes later. I can squeeze it in." So I acted. For fear of someone straying from the dinner table, I quickly grabbed the stack of leaves I bought at the craft store, pushed one thumb through the plastic wrapping, and seized three black Sharpies from my desk with the other hand. A quick rummage in a drawer produced a fourth. I spilled the leaves onto the table and passed out the pens. I said, "Hey, I have a little activity for us. Let's write what we're thankful for on these leaves, both sides, and then I will punch holes and string them up."
Well, here it is in photos. It was really quite fun. Every person was feverishly writing, not only because it was fun, but also because each of us suspected the other three people were hogging all the leaves. While I was tempted to divide them up evenly, like I said, it was a casual night and it just wasn't the time for counting.
But it was the time for laughing. My husband's first leaf said "jalapeno cheese bagels." When I said with a smile, "Hey, be SERIOUS," he said with hilarious intensity, "I AM!" And I knew he was indeed thankful for those bagels.
It was a beautiful time of gratitude.
My littlest guy's first thought was to list the fruits of the spirit on his leaves. (sigh.)
Um, this guy cracks us up everyday. Let's not discuss the footnote on leaf 4.
My girl had a giant, beautiful smile on her face the whole time, and I love everything she came up with.
My husband came up with everything near and dear to his heart. It was so sweet to see his simple passions written out. Good food. Good surf. The wild. Oh, and me (blush).
And as for me, well, no one else really cared about what I was writing because they were into their own leaves and they weren't the ones holding the camera. But. I was having my own moment with the Lord, wondering how I could fit Him and all He is to me on those leaves. I think many of them basically say the same thing. Love. Jesus. Freedom. Second chances. Immanuel (my favorite name of God). It brought a secret tear to my eye.
My first leaf below, by the way, says "adventure & change." That is a gratefulness in progress. That is a leaf I'm always striving to be thankful for. I want to be MORE thankful for the wild adventure that is my life and my walk with God. But I'm sometimes scared instead. It's a struggle to thank Him for a story when it is not yet finished being written. But it's still going on the leaf.
Have a great weekend.
I hope you find some leaves of thanks falling, settling all around you..

Thankful for bloggers like you! This brought tears to my eyes - you and your family had such a beautiful, spontaneous time of worship.
A few Novembers ago, I bought a pack of leaves and passed them out in our department and asked people to write what they were giving thanks for and posted them all on a board. It brightened the atmosphere in my little corner of a non-Christian, Fortune 500 company.
Hmmm. Maybe time to do it again???this is so amazing. i love it.
i love that you are thankful for adventure. i feel the same way. :)
i also love how wonderful this turned out. definitely the unplanned moments end up the best. probably because we have no expectations.
what a great time for your family. i bet they remember this simple night forever. :)

Shroud, Mr. |
Mr. Shroud, known in Japan as Monkey Saruyama「モンキー猿山」(Monkī), is a shady duelist manager who introduces Zane Truesdale to underground dueling in order to redeem himself after his chain of failures in the Pro League. Shroud uses electronic devices to pressure duelists in underground dueling. Shroud is pleased when Zane realizes the pointlessness of respecting opponents. However, when Shroud reminds Zane that he was the one who got him where he was, Zane throws him out of his car, firing him.
In the English dub, Shroud has a Southern accent, reminiscent of a carny.
Shroud's Japanese name is a combination of the English word "monkey" and the Japanese word "saru", which means monkey in English.

A revealing quote today from Lane Kiffin regarding Matt Barkley's comments about Vontaze Burfict.
"The thing you have to remember is with Matt, Matt can't lie," Kiffin said.
Kiffin is right about Barkley. Which makes Kiffin look worse for saying the wrong play got sent in at the end of the Syracuse game while Barkley said the pass was the correct call. Busted!

African-American History
November/December 2004 | Volume 55, Issue 6
African-Americans have experienced a cultural paradox, or a contradiction. For many years, until World War II, they were largely excluded from the official history of the United States. Not in the sense that they went unmentioned; after all, one can hardly conceive a history of the United States that does not deal with slavery, abolitionism, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. But it was certainly possible to talk about blacks largely as objects, not agents, as primitives, as an unfortunate population whose presence was largely an annoyance, a misfortune, or a tragedy. Blacks were usually presented as a people without a history in Africa, and they were presented as contributing nothing historically important to American life. Indeed, Western slavery had brought blacks into the loop of civilization and so was something of a perverse gift.
This neglect, this denial, however, did not stop blacks from being an object of fascination for whites, with stage minstrelsy, with books and commentaries about race and the meaning of racial characteristics and traits, with ritualized lynching and acts of terrorism, with laws against miscegenation and socializing between the races, and against blacks exerting any sort of political presence in the land. Their being a people without a history made them, in the eyes of whites, a people unworthy of respect, which whites reinforced by making them a people without power, but they were not, by any means, a people devoid of interest. Indeed, they had a deviant allure, largely because what whites saw in black people was what they feared to see in themselves. As Ralph Ellison put it, "The white American has charged the Negro American with being without past or tradition (something which strikes the white man with a nameless horror), just as he himself has been so charged by European and American critics with a nostalgia for the stability once typical of European cultures.…"
It was the abolitionist movement in the United States that generated the first histories of blacks. One of the earliest was the white abolitionist and children's writer Lydia Maria Child's
In 1836 the abolitionist Robert Benjamin Lewis published what is credited with being the first black history by a black: Light and Truth: Collected From the Bible and Ancient and Modern History, Containing the Universal History of the Colored Man and Indian Race, From the Creation of the World to the Present Time. This was followed in 1841 by the fugitive slave J. W. C. Pennington's
The first truly professional black historian, or the first black to write something like a professional history of African-Americans, was George Washington Williams, with his two-volume work
Woodson, who, like Du Bois, earned a doctorate from Harvard, founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 and the Journal of Negro History four months later. He introduced the idea of Negro history into the mainstream of the culture in 1926 by starting Negro History Week, which became Black History Month in 1976. He also published a number of books dealing with African and African-American history.
Historically black colleges were important in developing the study of black history, not only by introducing courses in the subject but also by having faculty members who devoted themselves to it: August Meier, Rayford Logan, Alrutheus Taylor, and Charles H. Wesley, among others.

PCLinuxOS is a Linux operating system. It is a free operating system for personal computers. It was made to be easy to use.
History[change | change source]
The start of PCLinuxOS was a set of RPM packages created to improve successive versions of Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux). These packages were created by Bill Reynolds, a packager better known as Texstar.[1] From the year 2000 to 2003, Texstar maintained his repository of RPM packages in parallel with the PCLinuxOnline Web site. In an interview, Reynolds said he started PCLinuxOS "to provide an outlet for [his] crazy desire to package source code without having to deal with egos, arrogance and politics."[2]
In 2003 Texstar created a fork of Mandrake Linux 9.2 (which was released in October 2003). Working closely with The Live CD Project, Texstar has since developed that fork independently into a full-fledged distribution. The initial releases were successively numbered as "previews" i.e. p5, p7, p8 up to p81a, then p9, p91, p92.
In August 2006 three new CDs/ISOs, numbered 0.93a, were released: MiniMe, Junior and Big Daddy. At the same time, the original packages that make up the KDE desktop environment have been split into smaller ones, while some less essential portions of KDE have been omitted from the CD. As a result, Texstar was able to fit the OpenOffice.org package into the BigDaddy release. MiniMe remains a minimal "Live & Install" CD for experienced users wishing to add their own selection of packages, while Junior adds a few essential desktop-oriented packages, meeting the user somewhere between the two other releases. PCLinuxOS 2008 "MiniMe" edition, was released on 2008-01-07.[3]
With the advent of PCLinuxOS 2007, also known as .94, PCLinuxOS became rebased on Mandriva Linux 2007. This implied a shift to a more modern code which will require a complete reinstall to this version. The new version features a new look, and built-in 3D effects. Both Beryl and Compiz come pre-installed, and can be configured with the PCLOS Control Center. A new logo has also been designed for the new version, and is incorporated in the boot screen. A new login screen has been designed, entitled "Dark". PCLinuxOS 2007 final version was released on 2007-05-21.
GNOME edition[change | change source]
PCLinuxOS Gnome 2008, a remastered, community edition of PCLinuxOS featuring the GNOME 2.21.2 desktop (and sporting a look similar to Microsoft's Windows Vista), was released on March 21, 2008, and is currently hosted at linuxgator.org.
Features[change | change source]
PCLinuxOS is distributed as a Live CD, which can also be installed to a local hard disk drive. When used as a Live CD, it can work with a USB flash drive, where the user's configuration and personal data are saved. The entire CD can be copied to and run from memory (if the system has sufficient RAM) increasing speed. PCLinuxOS uses the Advanced Packaging Tool (or APT), a package management system (originally from the Debian distribution), together with Synaptic Package Manager, a GUI front end to APT, in order to add, remove or update packages. If there is enough memory on the machine and a network connection, the Live CD can update packages. PCLinuxOS is also designed to be easy to remaster after installation, creating one's own personalized CD, using the mklivecd tool.
Relationship with Mandriva Linux[change | change source]
Although it retains a similar "look and feel" to Mandriva Linux, PCLinuxOS has diverged significantly. The code was officially forked into an independent project in 2003, but after three years of contiguous development, the devs took advantage of further development in (the renamed) Mandriva, and forked the code again for PCLinuxOS 2007.
PCLinuxOS maintains its own software repository, available via the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) and its Synaptic front-end, completely replacing Mandriva's urpmi. PCLinuxOS endeavors to maintain a fully valid upgrade path for version 1.0. This means that an installation could be continuously updated to the latest versions of packages, hence foregoing the need to re-install the entire distribution upon each successive release. In the test releases before 1.0, it has sometimes been necessary to perform a reinstallation.
Other differences include its own menu arrangement and custom graphics and icon sets.
PCLinuxOS places specific emphasis on desktop computing, concentrating its efforts for home or small business environments, hence paying less attention to other more "traditional" uses, like servers (although packages for most server tasks are available).
Projects[change | change source]
There are several community projects associated with PCLinuxOS. Since PCLOS includes the mklivecd script, there are several third-party distributions based on PCLOS. Some include:
The PCLinuxOS Magazine project is a community driven free publication focused on the users of PCLinuxOS by MyPCLinuxOS.com. This online publication was started in September 2006 by a group of PCLOS users with some publication experience. All content for the publication is solicited from the PCLOS user base.
The PCLinuxOS beautification project encourages and hosts user submitted media for visual aspects of PCLinuxos.
All the above projects are tracked and have forums on the larger MyPCLinuxOS, whose stated purpose is to be "the home site of all community projects related to PCLinuxOS", and offers help and support "whether you're looking to start a project,[or] join a project"[4]

The birthday girl in her shades.
Sisters and cousin
Uncle D and Aunt K
The sweet employee of Putt Putt who was in charge of our party made my day. She did not know my name, so she just kept calling me "Party Mom." I'd like that one to stick. She also asked me, "Will your dad be playing laser tag?" My dad was not there, nor my father-in-law. Only CC. a-hem.
In addition to mini golf, we got to play laser tag. Big Ben was not old enough to play, but the guys let him stand by the height chart. He stood on his tiptoes and held his neck as high as possible and cleared it. He was one happy boy with his laser pack and gun. We also had 30 minutes of unlimited arcade games. My personal favorite was the snow sled. I could fly off of a cliff, but I never died. That is my kind of game.
We ended with go karts and water-spraying bumper boats.And the funniest thing to happen all night was at the end. It was late. VERY late for Campbell kids. You know when you just get to that point where you want to load them, click the seatbelts, and know you are on your way to getting them to bed? Well, they were "dying" of thirst, so I told them they could run back inside to get a water fountain drink. We waited and waited. Finally, I went in to find out what was taking so long. Twinkle Toes had, just for a last-ditch effort, spun the Pirate's wheel for tickets and hit the 1000 jackpot. The line of tickets coming out of it stretched to the door. So, we waited for the tickets. Then we redeemed them in the machine. Then we went up to 'buy' the junk that you can buy with those things. Twinkle Toes let her cousin and sister get the giant, oversized sunglasses they'd had their eye on. Then she got Big Ben a car he had wanted earlier but did not have enough tickets to get. Then she got herself a mini flashlight. The looks on their faces when that machine started chugging out the 1000 tickets was priceless. And suddenly it didn't matter that it was VERY late and that I was very ready to load them up.
Happy birthday, Sweet Cheeks, you are a wonderful excuse to party!
