Larry Dale Carson
November 30, 1939 - March 18, 2018
Monday, March 26, 2018, From 12: pm till time of services
Monday, March 26, 2018 2:00 PM Birchfield Funeral Home
Horner Hill Cemetery
Larry Dale Carson, age 78, Passed away on march 18, 2018 at Riverside Hospital in Columbs, Ohio.
He was born on November 30, 1939, to Floyd Webster and Esther Louise Starr Carson. Larry graduated from Rutland High School in 1958 where he excelled at football. He always shared great stories of his time playing football and of his beloved coach, Jim Vennari. He served in the Army at the Savanna Army Depot for two years which led him to Hanover, Illinois. He lived there for many years and developed a lot of special friendships. He drove tour bus for Tri-State Tours in Galena, Illinois, and then became a truck driver for which he is well-known, and earned him the nickname"Semi-Grandpa". He spent several years driving for Heartland Express in Iowa City and Columbus, Ohio before his retirement. Larry was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Browns fan. Larry's love of his Buckeyes and sports in general was passed to his sons and grandsons. In fact, it was hard for his daughter, Diana, to get a word in when sports was the topic. "Will you listen to me?" was used quite frequently when she wanted to stay something and is used today when something needs to be said. Larry was a beloved Husband, Dad, and Grandpa. He doted on all of his grandchildren and enjoyed teasing then unmercifully. He loved a good joke and enjoyed both playing practial jokes on people and occasionally being on the receiving end as well. Larry loved spending time with his wife, Linda and was always making sure that she was doing okay. Larry's hat collection was extensive and he liked to agitate people by wearing a certain hat just to annoy them.
Larry will be missed by his loving wife, Linda, family and friends who are comforted in knowing that he is home with his Lord and Savior.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Williams Carson, two children Rick (Tammy) Carson of Waunakee, Wisconsin, and Diana (Kevin) Tritz of Bellevue, Iowa. Three Stepsons, Jeff (Hillary) Austin of Gallipolis, Ohio, Alex (Sheila) Austin, of Point Pleasent, West Virginia, and Jimmy Austin of Gallipolis, Ohio. Six grand children Brockton, Shelbie, Taryn, and James Carson, Katie and Sophia Tritz, seven step grandchildren Kasi, Corey, Ashley, Andrew, Robert (Bobby), Jesse, Tristan Austin and one step great grandson Trennon. Also survied are tow brothers, Russell (Pat) Carson and Keith (Patrica) Carson of Middleport and several nieces and nephews.
He was preced in death by his parents, son Robert Dale (Bob) Carson, and stepson, Robert Scott (Bobby) Austin.

Publisher's Summary
Mistaken for a famous but reclusive author of the same name, lonely Shriver attends a writers' conference at a small Midwestern liberal arts college. Completely unfamiliar with the novel he supposedly wrote and utterly unprepared for the magnitude of the reputation that precedes him, Shriver is feted, fawned over, and featured at stuffy literary panels and barely manages to play it cool. Things quickly go awry when one of the other guest authors suddenly disappears, and Shriver becomes a prime suspect in the investigation.
Amid eager fans, Shriver must contend with a persistent police detective, a pesky journalist determined to unearth his past, and a mysterious and possibly dangerous stalker who seems to know his secret. But most vexing of all, Shriver has fallen in love with the conference organizer, who believes he's someone else. When the "real" Shriver (or is he?) arrives to claim his place among the literati, the conference - and Shriver's world - threaten to unravel.
Filled with witty dialogue, hilarious antics, and a cast of bizarre and endearing characters,
is at once a touching love story, a surreal examination of identity, and an affectionate tribute to the power of writing.

In the protest of Bode Aviation, Inc., B-411265 (June 26, 2015), the protestor argued that the solicitation required that all bidders "have certification for the contract aircraft at the time of the bid proposal." The GAO disagreed.
The GAO began with the general rule that, unless the solicitation requires bidders to provide proof of qualifications or certifications prior to award, "such requirements constitute performance provisions rather than preconditions for award." In this case, the solicitation contained the following provision regarding certification:
Contractors shall hold a current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Carrier or Operating Certificate. Aircraft offered shall be listed by make, model, series, and registration number on the Operator's 14 CFR [Code of Federal Regulations] 135 Operating Certificate.
The GAO found that the above clause did not mean the bidder had to have a certificate at the time it submitted its proposal, only that the bidder would need to be certified at the time of contract performance. The GAO therefore denied the protest because it does not have jurisdiction over post-award performance issues.
This case demonstrates that the solicitation must clearly state that a certification requirement must exist at the time of proposal submission; otherwise, it will be construed as a requirement that can be subsequently satisfied after contract award.
If you are facing an issue over certification, the answer depends on the particular language in your solicitation. Read it carefully.

VILONIA, Ark. (AP) - Authorities have now confirmed seven deaths in Arkansas after a severe storm dumped heavy rain and spawned tornadoes yesterday. Hardest hit was the small town of Vilonia, north of Little Rock, where the bodies of four people have been found after a tornado struck last night. Emergency crews are preparing to search for dozens of missing people before more storms strike the area this afternoon.

As an investor intending to create wealth, my personal opinion is that its easiest to create wealth by buying cheap stocks (low PE) of companies that are growing (even if not at breakneck speed). Not that growth at reasonable price, surfing new technologies does not create wealth.
Change is the friend of society but enemy of the investor. Nice book on change and innovation I read recently (Innovator's Dilemma http://www.amazon.com/dp/1633691780). Author covers multiple facets of change and difference between sustaining vs disruptive technologies, although a bit dated in terms of examples (written in 1990s) but valid in terms of framework of disruptive technologies. Leading and established companies were actually the first to recognize and frequently prototype disruptive technologies but could not get a board level agreement between marketing, accounting, finance, strategy to commit to disruptive technology due to 1/100th the size of the market at the time.
Very few companies last 50 years these days. And you know that any company or business group that has been around for several hundred years (there are several of them) has NOT compounded at even 10% CAGR. Because 10% Cagr of 1 Million $ over 200 years is 190 Trillion $, where as global assets are ~85 trillion $.
You need to sit up and take note when the company has been around for a hundred years. That implies that characteristics of the industry despite innovation allow for preservation of incumbents. Interesting statement from Nitta Gelatin Japan AR 2015 http://nitta-gelatin.co.jp/english/ir_info/library/annualreport.html
In the recent ten years the company has decided to focus on branding and consumer products like Gelixer, Wellnex Collagen, and not only excel in manufacturing. Currently Nitta Gelatin is #4 in terms of global capacity of Gelatin Manufacturing.
The company has also opened new subsidiaries in previous ten years in emerging growth markets China, Vietnam and consolidated operations in India.
The other company that I invested in last year was United Nilgiri Tea Estates India, also a 95 year old company.
In my opinion next few years may be boring but interesting for these companies as the new money discovers that old is indeed gold.
Love the oldies.
I also love some of these models where MNC competition is not present:
Hair oil usage in India !
Use of storage water tanks in African countries and India (story over for Sintex, diworsefied), as developed world water availability is 24/7. No competition from MNCs.
Artificial hair in Africa.
Gold / Diamond Jewellery (story over for India)
Focus on business models that are country need specific.
Some handicraft wood products in China.
Upcoming models in India (Ayurveda), Natural / Organic Foods.

Finding Neverland
Issues of childhood, grief and loss permeate the historical story behind the writing of Peter Pan.
Themes: the sacredness of childhood, taking children seriously and grief and loss.
J.M. Barrie: In punishment for lack of an interesting pirate name, Peter shall walk the plank.
J.M. Barrie: Young boys should never be sent to bed… they always wake up a day older.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: It's just, I thought she'd always be here.
J.M. Barrie: So did I. But in fact, she is, because she's on every page of your imagination. You'll always have her there. Always.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: But why did she have to die?
J.M. Barrie: I don't know, Peter. When I think of your mother, I will always remember how happy she looked, sitting there in the parlor watching a play about her family, about her boys that never grew up. She went to Neverland. And you can visit her any time you like if you just go there yourself.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: How?
J.M. Barrie: By believing, Peter. Just believe.
J.M. Barrie: [watching George react to the knowledge that his mother is seriously ill] Magnificent. The boy is gone. In the last 30 seconds… you became a grown-up.
J.M. Barrie: It seems to me that Peter's trying to grow up too fast. I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't hurt as deeply as children do when they… when they lose someone. I lost my older brother David when I was just Peter's age, and it nearly destroyed my mother.
Sylvia Llewellyn Davies: James, I'm so sorry. Your poor mother. I can't imagine losing a child.
J.M. Barrie: She didn't get out of bed for months, she wouldn't eat. I tried everything to make her happy but she only wanted David. So one day I dressed myself in David's clothing and I went to her.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: You must have frightened her to death.
J.M. Barrie: I think it was the first time she ever actually looked at me, and that was the end of the boy James. I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Where?
J.M. Barrie: Neverland. It's a wonderful place… I've not spoken about this before to anyone- ever.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What's it like, Neverland?
J.M. Barrie: One day I'll take you there.
J.M. Barrie: [gives him a journal] Here you go.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: What's this?
J.M. Barrie: All great writers begin with a good leather binding and a respectable title. Open it.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: [reads] "The Boy Castaways: Being a record of the terrible adventures of the brothers Davies, faithfully set forth by Peter Llewelyn Davies."
J.M. Barrie: Kipling would swallow his own ear for a title like that!
Peter Llewelyn Davies: I still have no idea what to write.
J.M. Barrie: Write about anything. Write about your family, write about the talking whale!
Peter Llewelyn Davies: What whale?
J.M. Barrie: The one that's trapped in your imagination and desperate to get out.
'Wendy': [as she is lifted by the kite] Peter!
Peter Pan: Don't let go, Wendy!
'Wendy': Peter, I'm frightened!
Peter Pan: Hang on, Wendy!
'Wendy': [fading] Peter!
Peter Pan: To die will be an awfully big adventure.
J.M. Barrie: You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, there's always someone who wants to destroy it.
Peter Llewelyn Davies: Stop lying to me. I'm sick of grown-ups lying to me!

Games have taught me not to give up. The boss is too difficult? You failed at that jump in Super Mario? The fucking Angry Bird flew too high over a pig? Try again. And chances are, you'll learn how to beat that problem, and you'll be rewarded. Sure, it's a virtual reward, that isn't tangible, but the lesson remains. If you can learn to apply that lesson, there's nothing you can't do.
I am a huge RPG (Role-playing Game) fan. I can go on for hours about Final Fantasies, Dragon Quests and Star Oceans, and for a good reason. The first RPG that really blew my mind was Final Fantasy 7, a little game that came out in 1998, and that I picked up about a year after it was released (Fiji Time, you understand). It was the first time that I played a game with characters that resonated, a plot that spanned everything from environmentalism, to love, to corporate greed and sacrifice.
As you can imagine, it blew my little mind away. Through that game, I realised that videogames have a way to teach lessons that most other media can't. Interaction. You can read a book, or watch a film, but these stories are presented to you to watch. You're not responsible for the outcome, you're kind of just along the ride. It doesn't make them any less important, don't get me wrong, but videogames should be up there with them.
So there I was, chugging away at this game when out of nowhere, the girl that I had been travelling with for a dozen hours is cut down by my arch-nemesis. My happy go lucky, cheerful friend was slain, and there was no way to bring her back. I had to carry that, through the rest of the game, until I finally bitchslapped the last boss to oblivion, and it made it that much more satisfying. Like I said, the fact that I had to interact with the game, through pressing buttons to progress the story, making decisions in battles and planning ahead, invested me in the story that much more.
And I will admit, I cried my eyes out when she died.
Which brings me to another reason why games made me awesome. The fact that I had to press those buttons to progress the story. Yes, it's just pressing a button, but you have to press the right ones, in certain ways, and at certain times to get it work. Right now, I'm touchtyping this essay without even thinking about it, and the reason I know how to touchtype is because I play a lot of videogames, and had to learn that particular skill in order to succeed. Sure, I didn't think about it at the time, I just wanted to able to communicate faster in order to tell my friend Mike to get that dragon away from me, but now that I know how to do it, it's pretty damn useful. And I can impress secretaries.
Computers and technology are everywhere nowadays. Most people carry one around in their pockets. We use them for work, you can access your money from them on every other street corner in Suva, and we pay good money to people to get them fixed when they break. Now, I'm not an IT guy, but because of videogames I found computer science class in highschool a piece of cake. Heck, I spent most of my time using the Basic program they tried to teach us to make text adventures. I'm also pretty sure that it was my highest mark, but I'll have to get back to you on that (it may have been Geography, but that's a different essay entirely).
They've made me read more too. An old mentor of mine once told me that there are no original ideas, and the same is true for the stories in videogames. They're all based on something eventually. Ancient mythologies, religious ideals, heck, even Shakespeare has influenced some of my favorite games, and I usually ended up looking these things up and liking them because I played it in a game at some point.
Case in point, I would never have read anything about Norse Mythology unless I had played Final Fantasy 8. In it, you get a spaceship called the Ragnarok.
Because when the world ends, and those dragons mutate from mokos due to insane amounts of cosmic radiation, we'll be the ones who know how to beat 'em.

GK David De Gea
"You can read in my book how he is, for me, one of the best managers in the world - admired like [Pep] Guardiola".
"The manager that helped him come to the first team, the manager that helped him develop in the best moment of his career, is the manager he doesn't forget, a manager he likes a lot, a manager that maybe one day he would like to be reunited again so for me the flawless words that show Luke Shaw's character in relation to the people he was happy with".
Shaw has kept his head down and impressed manager Jose Mourinho in recent weeks with his attitude to training, although the former Southampton academy graduate still found himself on the subs' bench until late in the League Cup victory over Swansea on Wednesday night. The Spanish playmaker said that Huddersfield players were more passionate on the field which angered Jose Mourinho.
"I think he's a very good manager, but don't ask me more than that". "And I think he really wants me to play under him again".
"So I was happy because, again, it shows dignity, shows character and shows the intelligence to know the reason why we lost the match".
Sherwood has since revealed that he would rather play under Pochettino or Guardiola than under Mourinho.
Cigarettes Now Banned In Several Indoor Locations
Preventive Services Task Force concluded that evidence is insufficient to recommend e-cigarettes for smoking cessation in adults. NY created the act in 2003, making it one of the country's first states to ban smoking tobacco products in public indoor areas.
Tottenham will climb above Manchester United into second in the Premier League with a win at Old Trafford, a feat they have achieved just once in 28 years.
'I was surprised but I was happy about his words because it is not easy for the players to recognise and admit [why they lost],' said Mourinho, according to Goal.com.
'Maybe it is to try to sell books, maybe his ghostwriter wants to make some money'.
Mourinho has a contract at United until 2019 and ESPN reports that discussions have taken place about extending his deal, but the 54-year-old has gone on record to say he does not believe he will end his career at Old Trafford.
"Because Fellaini finishes his contract and Luke Shaw doesn't".

In the summer, I love the effortless waves that I get after a day at the beach/lake. I have used a lot of different kinds of sea salt spray to achieve a similar look, but they can be quite pricey. Another thing about store bought sea salt spray is that they don't give you enough for your money. Making your own sea salt spray at home can save you lots AND it works just as good, if not better!
Sea salt spray is great to add some texture and volume to your hair without all the chemicals. It also makes it easier for your hair to hold waves or curls. I love using this DIY spray when I'm feeling lazy in the morning and I just want an easy, wavy style.
For this DIY sea salt spray you will need the following supplies:
1 tbsp. sea salt
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1 cup warmwater
spray bottle
Directions for sea salt spray:
1. We used a liquid measuring cup to warm up 1 cup of water in the microwave. It only takes about 2 minutes.
2. Next, we put in one tablespoon of coconut oil and one tablespoon of sea salt. We stirred the ingredients together directly in the measuring cup with the water.
3. After stirring together the ingredients, carefully pour the sea salt spray into your spray bottle.
I like to use this spray when my hair is still slightly damp after a shower. Simply scrunch and spray! After my hair is somewhat dry, I sometimes curl a few pieces that didn't get as wavy as I wanted.
And there you have it- super easy and inexpensive sea salt spray! You definitely get more for your money in comparison to the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, which costs $27 for a 4 ounce bottle. This DIY sea salt spray works well with any hair type and let me tell you, it smells amazing (if you like coconut, of course)! Let us know what you think of it!

Solving the Top Problems in Patient Safety
The purpose of The Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals is to promote specific improvements in patient safety. According to The Joint Commission, certain National Patient Safety Goals commonly account for compliance deficiencies in hospitals. These goals include improper medication reconciliation, poor communication of critical test results, and preoperative verification and time-out deficiencies. To help overcome these deficiencies, The Joint Commission recommends specific solutions for each problem area.
Solutions to improper medication reconciliation
National Patient Safety Goal 8 advocates for the development of an effective medication reconciliation process that establishes a method for comparing the patient's current medications with those ordered while the patient is receiving care in your organization. The medication reconciliation process follows these steps:
- Develop a complete and accurate list of patient medications.
- Compare the listed medications with each new order, reconciling omitted, duplicate, or interacting medications and avoiding name, dose, and route confusion.
- Update the medication list as the patient moves across the continuum of care and at discharge.
- Communicate the list to other healthcare providers and the patient.
Common barriers to sustained compliance with the medication reconciliation process include a lack of physician buy-in, mentality that "it's not my job," and concern that this is just another added responsibility.
Physician buy-in
- Collaborate with physicians about ways to ensure the success of the program before developing your policies and procedures.
- Demonstrate the program's value in terms of patient safety—and in terms of increased efficiency for the physician's practice.
"It's not my job"
- Make medication reconciliation a team activity with clear responsibilities across the continuum of care.
- Communicate your policies about documentation on the medication list to all patient-care services.
Add-on responsibility
- Avoid making this task a separate process. Instead, integrate the steps of medication reconciliation into the existing workflow.
- Make sure that each step adds value to patient safety.
Solutions to poor communication of critical test results
- Educate staff members so they know the policies and comply with them.
- Commission your performance improvement team to measure the length of time from the time of the order to the report and from identification of a critical result to the time of the report.
Solutions to preoperative verification and time-out deficiencies
Preop verification
- Make sure the physician documents up-to-date, clinically pertinent histories and physicals that meet The Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid standards for timing (obtained within 30 days of patient admission and updated within 24 hours of admission).
- Have the surgeon who will perform the procedure mark the operative site before the patient is moved to the operative area and, as appropriate, while the patient is awake, coherent, and able to verify the site.
- Ensure that the site is marked directly on the skin so that the mark is visible after the patient is prepped and draped. Mark the patient by labeling a simple yes or no. Do not use ambiguous marks, such as an X.
- Do not allow marking of any nonoperative site.
- Make the time-out procedure a team effort, checking for the correct patient, procedure, site, patient positioning, and the presence of correct implants and equipment.
- Ensure that the time-out happens where the procedure will be done.
- Involve the entire team in active communication.
- Have the nurse document the time-out, such as with a checklist. However, the nurse should never complete the checklist before actually performing the time-out procedure.
- Develop a process for reconciling differences discovered during the time-out.
Besides these recommendations, Stephanie Bennett, RN, BSN, suggests using the online Joint Commission/OSHA Compliance course. As Clinical Editor for Nursing e-Learning, she notes, "This course was authored to help healthcare organizations meet the education and training requirements mandated by The Joint Commission, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Its lessons are designed to help hospital staff understand how to maintain compliance with accreditation and regulatory standards. The course helps staff articulate their roles in patient safety with surveyors."

Oh, one more found today Soul Barrier

I don't know what it uses, probably mana curve and something else, but it has made some stupid decisions in the past, this deck locks good! Maybe a Dismal Failure, Soul Barrier or Dissipation Field? I'll +1!
P.S. I don't play commander and my opinions may not be expert.

Vraska - Vorel can't double the counters on Planeswalkers. I still like Kiora in this deck, but the only way to user her -8 ability right after you cast her is Doubling Season.
Winterblast - All of your suggestions are terrible and you should feel bad. (Except Crystalline Crawler, that's fine.) Why do you hate fun?
Arikarin - Mostly I agree with Vraska; you need a lot more mana. Try to run at least 38 lands, and get some more mana rocks. The very best Mana Rocks for you are Everflowing Chalice and Astral Cornucopia, 'cause they can get really out of hand really fast with Vorel. I also run a Pentad Prism - it just a Crystalline Crawler without a body, it's pretty nice.
Also look into more utility Graft Cards. Vigean Graftmage is really silly with Vorel. Sage of Fables and Zameck Guildmage each do serious work for you.
Mostly I think you need to take out a bunch of cards that are... sort of just terrible?
- Chronic Flooding
- Hunters' Feast
- Predator's Rapport
- Mending Touch
- Soul Barrier
- Zephyr Charge
- Beetleform Mage
- Adaptive Snapjaw
Good luck!
Von.Banamaor on Stopped Dead in Your Tax (Dimir U/B Taxes)
1 year ago
So, I just learned that Seizures, Errant Minion and Soul Barrier are all illegal in the online pauper format. Which basically means this deck is not viable. I don't think there are any legal approximations, but I am open to suggestion.
Von.Banamaor on UB Mana tax
1 year ago
I am building my own pauper taxing deck based on an old, old deck I once played with using Errant Minion and Winter Orb. I thought I'd see what I could do with a pauper variant. Here is a link to my deck: A Tax to Grind
To start off, I really like what you have going here.
A few suggestions...
Right off, I think you should consider Errant Minion for reasons I don't think I need to explain. Perhaps in place of Soul Barrier?
Most cards in pauper are very cheap and lots of decks are very thin on mana production as a result, so playing Rhystic Study can be a huge burden. Playing more than one, is almost unfair. Plus, you should really have some card drawing ability.
Here are some other ways to consider tapping creatures: Flood, Rhystic Deluge, Norritt & Rathi Trapper.
Shimmering Glasskite might be an interesting creature to consider as well. It'll be hard for your opponent to cast two creature-hate spells in a turn.
You might want to consider Fade Away for the sideboard if too many creatures are hitting the table.
And one last note, if you were to splash green, Kruphix's Insight and Aura Gnarlid would be brutal.

Thanks, mjrlupus!! I think that Soul Barrier works fine in this deck, but it needs tested in IRL, because in the Xmage this card no exists.
Lanzo493 on I am G.O.D.

Eater of the Dead is definitely a card you should get for your deck. It's usually a wincon by itself. Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura allow you to get massive milling from just a lot of blue mana. Pemmin's Aura can even use your black mana to increase the creature's toughness for more milling. Tree of Perdition is a new card that sounds really fun in Phenax. I plan on getting it for my Phenax deck eventually. Wall of Frost is a good wall you can play with Phenax.
Painful Quandary is probably a good upgrade to Soul Barrier if you feel like getting it.
Raging_Squiggle on Sygg, Lord of Card Advantage (NEED HELP!!!)

Soul Barrier is fun depending on how heavy in creatures your meta is. Either they waste 2 more mana or get you 2 damage closer to drawing a card each turn.

Michael Richards is not Kramer
If you have been living in a cave then even you know that Michael Richards went crazy. He was doing some lame stand-up while two men were talking. Richards told the men to shut up, he then stopped his act and went off on the guys using some very strong words. He called the guys nigger and said they had done the same thing 50 years ago they would have been hanging from a tree.
Below is a clip from the show
As you watch the video you can see people at first laughing, then after a minute people stop laughing and start to walk out. It must have really sucked to be that guy that has to come on stage at the end of the video. The owner said he let Richards return to the stage the following night because he thought Richards was going to say sorry. That did not happen.
Monday night with Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on David Letterman. There was a video link with Richards so he could explain what happened. Richards tried to say sorry but came off as less than sorry. It has been floating around on messageboards that Richards will try to cover this up. He may come out has an alcoholic or hooked on some pills. He seemed to get angry again during the apology.
Here is a preview for the video link up, while Richards was speaking some people begain to laugh. Seinfeld told them to stop and said what was happening and what happened was not funny.
Is Richards a racist? Lots of comics get heckled, lots of comics have it people talking during their act. Does that mean they also have a right to act the same way? Of course it does not, nobody should act the way Richards did, nobody should say such ugly words. I want to believe that the funny Kramer and the guy that played him is not a racist. Remeber the black and white cookie? Who knowns, at first I wanted to call him racist but after seeing the two videos, I am lost. He was wrong for saying such ugly words that should never be used by anybody. But I want to believe the best and think he tried to make a joke out of it but failed. It failed really really hard.

Planning War in Peacetime
Desch, Michael C., Joint Force Quarterly
Many historians, analysts, and policymakers believe that war plans conceived in peacetime lead to war, despite the wishes of civilian leaders. This is the "Guns of August" school of thought which is prompted by the role of war plans in precipitating World War I. As Sir Basil Liddell Hart has noted, "The statesman may continue to send telegrams, but they are merely waste paper. The military machine has completely taken charge." (1)
War plans may also determine strategy in war. "Those who make or endorse the plans," as some observe, "are in effect determining the strategy both for peace and for the opening phases, at least, of a future war; they are giving the commands which really count." (2) Extant plans might affect war management under certain circumstances. "When no one knows what to do in a crisis," Richard Betts commented, "a contingency plan can virtually set the terms and focus the decisional debate. Advocates of an existing plan have an advantage over opponents who do not have one of their own." (3)
The historical record shows that while war plans do not actually cause war--civilian political decisions do--they can affect wartime outcomes. The problem is that there is no consensus on exactly how. Thus it makes sense to examine how war planning affects military effectiveness.
Accidental War
Why should one care about the impact of war planning? The implications of this question are clear: if the views of the Guns of August school are correct, civilian policymakers must be concerned about the nature and content of peacetime plans made by military professionals lest these plans undermine crisis management and lead to accidental wars. Conversely, if Helmuth von Moltke (the Elder) was right, that no war plan ever survives contact with the enemy, civilian and military leaders ought to be wary of the fact that substantial resources devoted to peacetime war planning are being wasted because of its irrelevancy.
The general consequences of war plans have not been fully explored, however, because most of the extant literature consists largely of historical studies of individual plans. While many excellent monographs and essays look at the particulars of great power war planning before the World Wars and the Cold War, most fail to derive and test general propositions about the effects of these plans on wartime performance or offer concrete policy recommendations. There has been no attempt to link these inquiries to the larger conceptual debates in the social sciences. One exception was the spurt of interest in the role of pre-war planning prior to World War I. During the early and mid-1980s scholars examined the origins of that conflict for clues about how World War III might be inadvertently triggered. They also regarded it as an illustration of the spiral model of international relations, which holds that wars often start by accident, in contrast to the reigning deterrence model of the Cold War period, which maintains that they start because one side believes it can gain more by armed conflict than by peace. As will become clear, however, the assessment of the role of war plans in causing World War I in the spiral model, and its generalizations about plans precipitating accidental war in other cases, are flawed. Therefore we do not yet have a persuasive theory about when and how plans matter.
Many regard World War I as evidence that war plans can cause wars. Until recently, it was widely believed that it was an accidental war, at least in terms of the desires of the civilian leaders of the great powers. As Prime Minister David Lloyd George put it, "the nations slithered over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war." (4) There are two variations on this theme of accidental war: that civilian leaders misperceived the intentions of their neighbors as well as the relative advantages of offensive and defensive military technologies, or that the military organizations of each state ran amok. …

Alrighty, here we are chapter two, just going to keep going with this one till its good and done, keep the reviews coming. Thanks!
Chapter 2
Hinata had been at Yamanaka's flower shop, getting flowers for her visit to Naruto at the hospital. After getting a pep talk from Ino, she was ready to confess to Naruto again. She walked to the hospital, forcing herself to walk faster so she didn't have time to over think this. As she crossed the gate into the hospital grounds, she saw Sakura Laying on top of Naruto. How could she do that to her, Sakura knew that Hinata loved Naruto, they had talked about it multiple times, and she couldn't believe her friend had betrayed her.
Hinata ducked around the side of the building, breathing heavily, and making every attempt to clutch her heart; Scared, confused, and heartbroken. NO she thought I know Naruto is a knucklehead, but Sakura does not like him, she told me so, she encouraged me to go confess to him. I m sure I just saw it wrong. She turned back, and took a step toward the two ninjas but as she looked, she saw the two doing what could only be kissing. Tears welled up in Hinata's eyes, falling on the flowers she barely held in her hand as Sakura and Naruto stood their kissing in their betraying embrace.
Naruto and Sakura broke apart from their hug only for Sakura to hear the crinkling of something falling on the ground, but she paid no attention to it. It was so faint of a sound; Naruto did not even register it. They did not hear the tell-tale sound of a kinoichi's sandals running as far away as they could. Sakura proceeded to grab Naruto by the arm and move him forcefully back into his room at the hospital, sniffing the tears back into her eyes.
Hinata ran all the way back to her house, running up the stairs and slamming her door shut. She held her knees up to her chest, unable to hold back the tears of pure, heartbroken pain. This went on for hours, as Hinata cried and cried to the point where her eyes were dry of tears and her throat was hoarse and it caused unimaginable pain to swallow thanks the rose in her throat.
Neji did not care that Hinata was upset, but, he was at his limit of listening to the incessant crying coming from upstairs. As he walked upstairs, he gingerly took the last few steps, as not to scare Hinata ion her already broken state. He cracked open the door and what he saw was Hinata laying on her arms face down on her bed, her breath soft and slow. Not caring too much, and happy that the crying had stopped; Neji closed the door and made his way back down stairs. Hinata lay on the bed, slowly dying as her arms, split up and down vein, blood soaking her bed sheets, still covered by her limp body.
As Neji walked back down the stairs, Hinata's father approached him, and asked him to go tell Hinata that Dinner was ready, and that if she is done crying about what ever it was that she was crying about, she should come down, as they had guests over for dinner that night. Neji, annoyed that he had to walk all the way back up the stairs he just descended. HE walked into Hinatas room, and stood in the doorway. "Hinata, wake up, and get your sorry ass ready for dinner, we have guests." Hinata gave no response, continuing her shallow breathing on the bed. Neji growled and walked over to Hinata, lifting her off the bed to shake her awake. As he did, he felt warmth running down his arm. His clear eyes widened as he was covered in blood coming from Hinatas cut arms.
'Ello! Next chapter is up as you can see, and Will continue to keep going strong, I am just writing and writing and writing so look forward to more chapters and tell your friends. Theres a bit more gore in this one so if that is not your cup of tea, then you may want to read another story *SPOILERS*By the way, next chapter starts the NarutoxHinata officially for those who keep complaining I urge you to keep reading.*SPOILERS* The next chapter will be up either today or tomorrow so look for that, eh? Later.

The apartment is bought by Putin in Israel for his teacher, will depart Russia
Russia will receive in the property a small apartment in the elite district of tel Aviv, where she lived, Mina Moiseevna Yuditskaya, a former teacher of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin.

tel aviv.
As reported by RIA "Novosti", reported the Russian Embassy in Israel.
"The apartment was bequeathed to the Russian Federation. Currently in the process of identifying heirs Judickas from the Israeli side. When such heirs are identified, a decision will be made at the apartment," – told the news Agency the employee of the Embassy.
Previously she Yuditskaya reported in a media interview that he taught the President of Russia Vladimir Putin German language in the 281-th school in Leningrad and he had a cool head, and since 1973, lives in Israel.
She broke through at the 2005 meeting of Vladimir Putin with veterans of the war, when the Russian leader visited Israel. He learned his teacher, gave her a private conversation, gave the watch engraved. She also says Putin, not pugnacious gentle boy with a good memory.
After this meeting, according to the teacher she has a personable man and said that he worked with the President of Russia, and he asked him to find her an apartment with an Elevator. So she moved to a new home.
Yuditskaya died in December last year at the age of 96 years.

Memory is the capacity by which the mind stores and remembers information. Memory is an important aspect of every day lives because without the recollection of the past, we can neither operate in the present nor think about the future. Things we remember from the past affect what we learn so therefore, without memory, we could not learn.
So how does memory work? There are three stages to the memory: encoding, storage and retrieval.
Encoding is when the information comes into our memory system from the sensory output. The brain will change this information into information that the system can store. It will be changed into either visual (a picture), acoustic (sound) or semantic (a meaning) information.
The brain will then decide where the information is stored, the duration which it is stored for, the capacity of information that can be stored and what type of information is held. The way we store information will later affect the way in which we achieve it. This is when the difference in short-term and long-term memory becomes apparent.
Short-term memory is retrieved sequentially which means that you will remember things in the order which they happened. Long-term memory is retrieved by association which means that objects or places will trigger the memories. If we can't remember something, it is because we are unable to retrieve the information.
Memory experiments have shown that a simple way to improve your memory is organisation. It is thought, that if we organise things alphabetically, by size or by time, we are more likely to remember them because it is already pre-organised and easier for our brains interpret.
So next time you have something important to remember, either associate it with a place or organise it better!

We help our clients integrate natural solutions to climate-related risks. We create real opportunities through transformational forest conservation and sustainable land use projects.
We aim to enable genuine, positive, lasting change to transform how businesses, governments and individuals value our natural assets.
And do all this together.
Putting a price on carbon is the most effective way a government or business can address the current climate crisis. And reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land-use is the most cost-effective climate solution out there.
At Ecosphere+, we work to find natural solutions to managing long-term climate risk. These range from improving supply-chain resilience, bringing new 'zero-carbon' or 'deforestation free' products to market and including carbon pricing.
And because we deeply value our working relationships, Ecosphere+ empowers businesses and individuals to take the steps that will work best for them.
Ecosphere+ is more than a business and we offer more than a service. We believe in stretching frontiers to do more than we think we can (and then doing it).

When Romulus founded Rome, he had only male followers. This was not particularly surprising, as Rome was founded via numerous battles against Alba Longa, which was the major Latin city of the area. This soon became problematic, as no city can prosper without having enough younger generation. So he invited the Sabines, a nearby Italian tribe, to a festival in Rome. At a predetermined signal, the Roman men grabbed the Sabine women and married them. For what it's worth, the historian Livy claims that no rape took place right then, and that the Sabine women were more seduced into their marriages rather than coerced. Nonetheless, it still makes us cringe a little.
|Rape of the Sabine Women, Pietro da Cortona, 1627-29.
However, this became a problem as Korea went through major wars against China and Japan in the Joseon Dynasty. Many men were killed in the wars, and there were too many widows who were not willing to re-marry, due to their faith in Confucianism and also due to the societal pressure. And if the country were to re-build, they needed the birth rates to be up.
Thus came about the custom of "보쌈." The word "보쌈" literally means "wrapped up (쌈, whose verb form is 싸다) by cloth (보자기, or more commonly 보 in old Korean)."
Among the lower and lower middle class of Korea, men would enter a widow's house late at night, wrap her up in a piece of cloth (보자기), and kidnap her to his own home. At this point, as her fidelity was already violated, she would be forced to marry the man. And the government would turn a blind eye towards it, as they were secretly happy about unions of this kind. The upper class, of course, would prefer to adhere to the rules of Confucianism, and did not engage in this kind of behaviour.
Just like the story of the Sabine women, historians claim that it wasn't all bad. Often the kidnapping would be pre-arranged between the man and the woman, to set up the pretext that the widow had no choice but to marry the man (but secretly she wanted it as well). This was, of course, not always the case, and some women, who took Confucianism seriously, would prefer to kill themselves after being kidnapped.
This problem was resolved only in the late 1800s, when the Joseon Dynasty, at the urging of the critics, ruled that widows indeed have the right to re-marry whoever, and whenever they please. This was one of the clauses inserted into 갑오개혁 (Reform "개혁" of the 갑오 year, which works out to be 1894).
Although this practice disappeared, the word remained in a particular type of kimchi (김치), weirdly enough. There is a type of kimchi called 보쌈김치. Usually, kimchi has two components. Brined cabbage, and what the Koreans call "속 (insides)," consisting of chopped radish seasoned with red pepper powder. Normally, you take the 속 and interlace it with the leaves of the cabbage.
But in 보쌈김치, the cabbage leaves enclose the 속, so that it forms the shape of a 보쌈, as if there is a woman inside the cabbage leaves (of course, you have the 속 instead of the woman!) As this type of kimchi was the popular choice to eat with boiled pork, the word "보쌈" started becoming the word of choice to denote the Korean dish where you wrap some pork in leaves of kimchi.
|So there you have it, why this food is called 보쌈.

Time to Say Good-Bye!
So, who is saying good-bye? Well, it's that time of year again to say good-bye to some old friends (stamp sets & accessories), to make room to welcome in some new friends. One week from today, Monday, April 21, Stampin' Up! will release the list of Retiring Stamp Sets & Accessories.
How would you like the chance to win a FREE stamp set? Grab your 2013-2014 Annual Catalog and make your best guess at which sets you think will be retiring. Email me a list of your top 10 choices by Sunday, April 20. When the list is released on Monday, I'll check all of the entries, and the person who has chosen the most correct stamp sets will get to select a FREE Retiring Stamp Set from the selection of my personal stamp sets that appear on the list. In case of a tie, I will randomly draw a winner. The winner will be announced here, on my blog on Monday, April 21, and contacted by email.
Please choose only sets from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog, not the Occasions (spring) Catalog. Also, all of the Hostess Sets will retire, so don't include those. No purchase necessary ~ Anyone can play!
Just a reminder, that when this list posts, the Retiring Accessories are available only while supplies last. These items sell out very quickly. If you see something on the list that you need, it's best to order it as soon as possible, to avoid disappointment. You can place your order online HERE.

So Chelsea can be beaten in EPL. So Sir Alex can breathe easier with the victory over Mourinho. So I won't be expecting to hear a new manager replacing Sir Alex in January. In any case, I still doubt Roy Keane would be lifting the cup by the end of this season. I still believe Chelsea will win back to back titles this year.
Pepsi has launched a new cola drink called Pepsi Tarik. Pepsi Tarik is a coffee flavoured carbonated soft drink. So does it taste more like coffee or more like cola? I have decided to kill my curiosity today. I think Pepsi Tarik tasted more like cola. I couldn't hardly taste the coffee. I doubt this drink will be successful but kudos to Pepsi for introducing such a fusion drink.

There are many reasons to use a Rain Barrel!
S Many local governments call for voluntary and sometimes mandatory water use restrictions during dry years or when development surpasses the water supply. By saving rainwater you can help reduce the amount of water drawn from local reservoirs, streams, and wells.
S Saving rainwater helps control erosion and improve water quality. A one inch rain on an average sized roof produces 700 gallons of rainwater runoff. Lets imagine a town with 12,000 homes. From these residential rooftops alone, 8.4 million gallons of stormwater would rush over lawns, driveways, and streets to end up in a storm drain funneled to our streams and lakes. The excessive volume and force of this water if left uncontrolled causes extensive erosion.
S Water quality is impacted by stormwater runoff which carries sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste, oils, gas additives, and other pollutants which can significantly impact water quality.
S Saving rainwater and using it between rains or during dry spells, allows the water to soak into the ground. It also relieves some of the pressure on the public water systems during dry times.
S Your water bill and sewage bill may be packaged together. If so, you are paying more for the sewage portion of your bill during the summer when the average household uses 40% of their water bill for lawn and garden purposes. You can lower your monthly water and sewage bills by saving rain water!
S Your house is an impermeable surface. Rain would normally hit the ground where your house is and soak into the underground water table or enter a natural stream. Instead rainfall from most urban home roofs empties into the sewer system. During heavy rain, your house runoff combines with water from other houses, parking lots, and streets and may max out the sewer system. You become part of the solution decreasing contaminants in our streams and rivers by reducing storm water discharge from your yard.
S Rainwater is free soft water! It contains no chlorine, lime or calcium. Because it tends to have fewer sediments and dissolved salts than municipal water, rain water is ideal for watering plants. They love the soft, chemical free water. The water in the barrels is at ambient temperature and will not shock the plants like cold well water or municipal water. It is excellent for washing the windows, car, and other household cleaning.
By 2007, over 55,000 homeowners in Portland Oregan have safely disconnected downspouts to help reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) to the Columbia Slough and Willamette River. If all 55,000 (55 gallon) rain barrels filled one time it would keep 3,025,000 gallons of stormwater out of the River and Slough.

From The Socialist newspaper, 18 June 2008
Reopen the battle on NHS pay
Adrian O'Malley is the chair of Unison's Wakefield and Pontefract Hospitals branch and newly elected to Unison's health service group executive (SGE) for Yorkshire and Humberside. He spoke to The Socialist, in a personal capacity, about the result of the recent Unison ballot accepting a three-year pay deal.
"I was disappointed in the ballot result because we'd got a good campaign going in our branch. Members were saying they'd all voted against it so we were a bit surprised and disappointed to hear it was 2:1 to accept nationally.
Most of them are absolutely gutted that we've got a three-year pay deal which is going to end up in pay cuts for four full years, following last year. So they feel let down by the union.
But I think that a lot of branches didn't make a recommendation. Also, there's a lot of not very active branches in Unison health where members were not getting any recommendation and just received the biased stuff from head office.
In our branch we had branch committee meetings to recommend a rejection. We also had smaller meetings of individual members and we sent a letter to each member's home prior to the ballot going out. So all 2,000 members got a recommendation from the branch - not just to reject but for strike action to fight for a better deal.
Unison haven't even announced the turnout, we think that's because it was low.
I think also that members were looking at the union and thinking: 'They haven't even made a recommendation so how serious are these people? They're giving no leadership whatsoever. They don't even say reject then they say if you do reject the deal, you'll have to be ready for long periods of strike action.'
What they should have been saying is - this deal is terrible, let's go for it, let's have a fight on pay.
I've just been elected to the SGE and on my election notice I said I support strike action to get more pay.
There is a clause in the deal which says that if inflation goes up we can reopen negotiations. So we'll be calling for it to be reopened so we don't have to wait years before we get another pay rise.
There's actually a motion from one region to the SGE already calling for the deal to be reopened and that will be discussed in July.
I'll be supporting that with fellow Socialist Party member Len Hockey who has also just got elected from the London region.
We really feel that the union leaders have done a deal with New Labour to avoid the embarrassment of strike action and in doing that they have betrayed the membership with pay cuts for a few years. So they must be brought to task."

"The withholding feature of the income tax is a still more clear-cut instance of Involuntary Servitude. For as the intrepid Connecticut industrialist Vivien Kellems argued years ago, the employer is forced to expend time, labor, and money in the business of deducting and transmitting his employees' taxes to the federal and state governments — yet the employer is not recompensed for this expenditure. What moral principle justifies the government's forcing employers to act as its unpaid tax collectors? The withholding principle, of course, is the linchpin of the whole federal income tax system. Without the steady and relatively painless process of deducting the tax from the worker's paycheck, the government could never hope to raise the high levels of tax from the workers in one lump sum. Few people remember that the withholding system was only instituted during World War II and was supposed to be a wartime expedient.
Like so many other features of State despotism, however, the wartime emergency measure soon became a hallowed part of the American system. It is perhaps significant that the federal government, challenged by Vivien Kellems to test the constitutionality of the withholding system, failed to take up the challenge. In February 1948 Miss Kellems, a small manufacturer in Westport, Connecticut, announced that she was defying the withholding law and was refusing to deduct the tax from her employees. She demanded that the federal government indict her, so that the courts would be able to rule on the constitutionality of the withholding system. The government refused to do so, but instead seized the amount due from her bank account. Miss Kellems then sued in federal court for the government to return her funds. When the suit finally came to trial in February 1951, the jury ordered the government to refund her money. But the test of constitutionality never came."
– Murray Rothbard (For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto)

MARRIAGE: to Cecil Francis Edwards on July 9, 1919, at Alencon, Normandy, France

2. July 5, 1923, female child, died

6. Iris Loraine Edwards born May 20, 1930, in Ames, Story County, Iowa
Yvonne Alexandria Marie Bruhand was born on August 18, 1899, in Mayenne, Normandy, France. She was a young nurse, only nineteen years of age, when she met a soldier named Cecil Edwards, who was serving with the U.S. Army forces during WWI. They fell in love and eventually got married on July 9, 1919, at Alencon, Normandy, France. After their marriage, they set sail for the United States. After a long train trip, they arrived in Dow City in August of 1919. They were the "talk of the town" because Cecil was the first WWI soldier to bring a French bride back to Dow City.
Life for Yvonne must have been difficult because she was in a strange country and didn't know how to speak English. But, she was a resourceful person and eventually overcame all the challenges that came her way. She valued education, and it was partly due to her encouragement that the family moved to Ames, where Iowa State College was located.
Yvonne was short in stature, only about 5'- 6" in height. She spoke with an accent, as would be expected for someone coming from a foreign country. She had a kind of shrill voice that sometimes had an edge to it whenever she was excited or when she was speaking loudly in order to make a point. Yvonne had sort of a giggling laugh and a very pleasant smile. She liked children and was always trying to get us to learn French. Yvonne loved to sew, and she was very good almost any craft. In fact, she seemed to excel in whatever she chose to do. She was a hard worker and housed students when they lived close to Iowa State College. In later years, she also worked alongside Cecil at the Iowa State Nursery. She liked reading about medical topics, and she was usually ready to tell you what was wrong if you didn't feel well. One thing that Yvonne never mastered, however, was driving a car. She was only a fair driver at best. She frequently over-revved the engine, and sometimes seemed to have a difficult time shifting gears. Yvonne was a generous person, and she was always ready to help anyone. When I was in fourth grade, she helped me make a model of an oasis. It had lots of sand, a well, palm trees, and even some tents. Because of her help, I got an "A" on the project.
Cecil suffered a stroke and died on March 3, 1969, in Ames. Yvonne continued to live in their home for awhile, but she eventually moved to Woodbine, Iowa, to be close to her daughter. Just over twenty-four years after Cecil's death, Yvonne passed away in Woodbine, on March 17, 1993. Cecil and Yvonne are buried in the municipal cemetery at Dow City.

- The True Story of the 33
One of the most viewed events in history, the 2010 successful rescue of 33 miners trapped underground for 10 weeks was an ordeal that held the attention of over 1 billion people worldwide. When the mine collapsed, the men had only rations enough for two days. For over two weeks, they didn't know if they would live or die or if anyone even knew where they were. Down below, decisions were made as a group, with each man having a vote. Everyone was given a job to do, and they worked as a team to keep up morale. Their decision to implement structure and calm in the face of such dire circumstances brought out the best in them and allowed them to be true partners with the rescue teams above ground. Now Mario Sepulveda,* in conversation with Hector Tobar (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine and the Miracle that Set Them Free ) tells firsthand the a riveting account of the experience: hunger, danger, fear, but above all, faith and the profound way in which their lives were forever changed. *Additional miners available

3.4.4 Direct professional co-operation
Algeria does not have a specific program for coaching and training foreign artists. However, audiovisual courses are regularly organized by Algerian Radio and Television for technicians coming mainly from sub-Saharan countries.
Algerian artists participate in the activities of the Cultural Center of Algeria in Paris and in other MOC activities abroad. In cinema, they are also supported by the Cultural Influence Algerian Agency in their creations abroad. The Agency's main mission is to design and implement programs of Algerian culture abroad, and contribute to hosting cultural events domestically.
Direct exchange between Algerian and foreign cultural institutions has flourished in recent years. For example, in 2006 the "Theater of Exchange Franco-Algerian Paca" permitted the establishment of a year-long program exchange between the Algerian National Theatre (ANT) and the "La Criée" theatre of Marseille. Algerian museums are also increasing partnerships with foreign museums. In 2008 the museum of Cherchell commenced a program to restore some of its articles through a partnership between Algerian archeology students and German students.

Posted on 05/01/2013 7:58:45 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement
On Saturday deputies responded to reports of shots fired east of the City of Williston large annual gathering of people labeled as "Crab Festival," according to a news release from the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
Five people were shot, including a 36-year-old man who died.
But it really wasn't a "Crab Festival," even though that's how this annual gathering-- which attracted 10,000 people this year -- is labeled, deputies said.
(Excerpt) Read more at sun-sentinel.com ...
We have the Carp Carnival in my neck of the woods.
"The agency also said the "Crab Festival" is actually a series of "Hip Hop" style street parties"
also known as Holder's homey hangouts.
I remember the carp mascot from "WKRP in Cincinnati."
People were dropping at the Crab Festival like turkeys from a helicopter.
"...Holders homey hangouts."
Is that a new department within HUD?
Well, maggots have to have a place to hang together too.
Cool! Admission to the carnival is free. I'd go if I still lived in Jackson.
And we here in our part of Texas just had a Crawfish festival. Yum yum!
We gots mudholes round hyar. Lotsa thangs you can do in them.
Felt like I was going to die of food poisoning at Toad Suck Days in Arkansas thanks to some Cajun Crawdads.... mercy that was a rough one.. This Yankee learned him something that weekend... stick to Lobster and not mudbugs... gator on the stick probably didn't help that night either....
Wonder if Laz has had crabs...
gator on the stick probably didnt help that night either...."
Guess you won't be having any gator gumbo then.
What, the festival is for that fake Krab stuff, and consequently if they catch the guy, he gets a fake lethal injection or something?
Why is it that country music concerts have more guns and less shootings than crap-hop concerts?
Each of his names is special.
Oh, thanks. Now I'll be thinking about Bailey for about a week.
