On June 15, 2000, the complainant sent a letter to the Program Manager of CJCH-AM (Halifax) in which he complained of the episode of the Laura Schlessinger radio program which had aired "on June 12", described by him as "the very first broadcast day beyond the 30 day period" following the release of the Panel's decision in CFYI-AM and CJCH-AM re the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show (CBSC Decisions 99/00-0005 and 98/99-0808, 1003 and 1137, February 9 and 15, 2000). The complainant, who followed such matters closely, had been one of the principal complainants in the previous matter. He complained, in the present case, that "Schlessinger had one of her normal tirades at approximately 4:15 in which she emphatically Frepeated her moral and scientific authority for claiming that gays are 'biological errors'." (The full text of his letter is annexed hereto as part of Appendix B.)
On July 19, the Program Manager replied. Since the principal part of his letter responds to the complainant's points which are not pertinent to the matter under consideration here, its text is not quoted here but may be reviewed by interested parties in Appendix B. That part of the letter which is directly relevant, though, indicates that the station's review of the June 12 episode revealed "nothing in this, or any other portion of the period monitored that makes any reference to gays or lesbians as 'biological errors'."
Clarifying the original letter in which he acknowledged that he had provided the wrong date, the complainant wrote back on July 21 to say that "the correct broadcast date was June 13." He also enclosed a transcript for the relevant portion of that episode of the show which he had downloaded from the web site of GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance against Defamation), and for which he vouched ("I can verify personally that the enclosed transcript is an accurate one"). (The complainant's full letter also forms a part of Appendix B.) By that date, the June 13 tapes had, in the normal course of events, been recycled; however, the Program Manager "confirmed that CJCH accept[ed] GLAAD's transcript as an accurate statement of fact," thus enabling the CBSC to consider that original complaint. Then, on August 16, the complainant sent a further letter relating to the shows of August 9, 11 and 15. Relevant summaries, observations or quoted portions of those programs follow. Fuller transcripts of relevant material can be found in Appendix A hereto.
June 13
In the GLAAD transcript of the June 13 program, Laura Schlessinger states:
I want to read you something that was publishedtoday. You can get it on your computer; you can get it at the — let's see –newspaper stand. I knew what that was. USA Today, Tuesday 13th, Tuesday June 13. Anarticle written by film critic Michael Medved. He's a member of USA Today'sBoard of Contributors, and he hosts a national radio talk show, and the little salutationat the bottom of his article — that's what I call those — says he hosts a nationalradio talk show that directly competes against Laura Schlessinger's show. Why theyfelt the need to do that, I don't know, but interesting.
Want to read you his piece. The reason I want to read you his piece — and there havebeen many, many pieces presenting the current issues of so-called controversy surroundingme, and this is basically the only one I'm choosing to read cover-to-cover, becauseit's so honest, it's so clear, and it's so elucidating of the main issues,and it's not just about me, which is the point I keep making.
It's entitled "Gays Unfairly Target Dr. Laura".
Now this is a quote from me, and it's an accurate quote.
"'If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error thatinhibits you from relating normally to the opposite sex,' Dr. Laura said Dec. 8 onher Web site. 'The fact that you are intelligent, creative andvaluable…'"
As a gay,
"'…is all true. The error is in your inability to relate sexually,intimately, in a loving way to a member of the opposite sex.'"
Let's compare that to "I'll stab you in the head whether you're afag or a lez." I don't know — which one sounds like hate speech to you? Anyway,to continue:
"If you accept the religious notion that the most profound, timeless purposefor all sexuality is procreation, then is it truly so bigoted and irrational to suggestthat a sexual focus that can never result in children is, in evolutionary terms, ifnothing else, an error? Is this line of argument so hateful and [sic] dangerous,that it can't even be discussed? Even Dr. Laura's critics acknowledge that shescrupulously avoids crude insults such as 'fag' or 'queer' whendiscussing homosexual behavior. In this Jerry Springer era, it seems odd that her showshould inspire such controversy."
Where I moved over to the other side is by the gayactivist groups… being described as hate. And I'm real tired of that becauseit's a lie. It's a damn lie, and they know it. But they have managed to convincethe non-activist gay civilians that I come from a position of hate. … How can I be sohypocritical as to say "I know God says, of the many forms of sexual behaviour thatare unacceptable, this is one"? Because there are many forms of sexual behaviour thatare unacceptable, like parents with their kids. That's also unacceptable. So,there's a list of what you're not supposed to do. Like your dad's new wife.There's a long list of what you're not supposed to do, and homosexuality is butone of them. The rest are for the heterosexuals, I guess you could say, but whatever…But, if I said hypocritically that I believe in God and God's words, and I believe inGod's moral direction on how were supposed to lead our lives, whether or not its whatwe want, or what we feel compelled to do. What we feel compelled to do doesn't makeit right. God says what's right and what's wrong. … So, when you hear about methat I made this transition from supporting same-sex relationships to not because of hate,it's a lie. I'm on record. I'm on tape. I did it out of compassion andreligious love. Now, if some people don't believe in God or decide that God'sword is not relevant, well that's theirs to deal with. It's not my venue.It's not my venue. But if you call me for a moral framework, I can only give you theultimate moral framework, as best I understand it. … Here's what I said: human beings,all creatures on the face of the earth, reproduce in some way. Some just have celldivision. That's it. One microbe divides into two, and now you have two individuals.That's not how human beings do it. Human beings do it heterosexually. That's howwere geared. Eggs, sperm, penis, vagina. That's just how the biology of it goes. WhatI did say is that when an individual is not so drawn to a member of the opposite sex, inbiology, that is some kind of error because it doesn't result in reproduction. … So,when I said "biological error", I did not say a human being was a biologicalerror. I never would call a human being a biological error. I never would. That isdespicable. But I need you folks to know that the activists are lying to you. I never saidthat. Now, lets get to the other one. I've called people "deviants". Wellthere are. Anybody who goes after a kid to me is a serious deviant, is evil, and theyshould be strung up by his you-know-what. But that's not what I said. I didn't callhomosexuals "deviant". I said that the direction of the sexual impulse deviatedfrom heterosexuality. Therefore, it was deviant from heterosexuality. I never called aperson "deviant". Those "deviant behaviour" and "biologicalerror", those four words, out of all the monologues and all the work I've doneout of twenty-five years, get repeated. Don't you folks understand that when you seefour words and you don't see the context, that you may be being used. Because thereis a political agenda here. … I'm sure I'm not always correct, becauseI'm not divine. But I try, and I work hard at it. But I have never called any one ofyou homosexuals or lesbians a "biological error" or a "deviant".
Recognizing that every person has a right to full and equal recognition and to enjoycertain fundamental rights and freedoms, broadcasters shall endeavour to ensure, to thebest of their ability, that their programming contains no abusive or discriminatorymaterial or comment which is based on matters of race, national or ethnic origin, colour,religion, age, sex, marital status or physical or mental handicap.
The host's perspective is clear andunambiguous. Whether the terms she uses are "abnormal", "aberrant","dysfunctional", "disordered", "deviant", "anerror" or the like, her terminology is clearly pejorative. She isunhesitatingly critical, negative and unambiguous and her words are as critical andunrelenting as she can make them. In the end, she is utterly rigid about a fundamentalissue which goes to the nature, the essence of gays and lesbians. It is theview of the Councils that the host's argument that she can "surgically"separate the individual persons from their inherent characteristics so as toentitle her to make comments about the sexuality which have no effect on the personis fatuous and unsustainable. As the Supreme Court has said, where an identifiable groupof persons is "defined by an innate or unchangeable characteristic", it willbe protected by the human rights provision of the broadcasters' Code of Ethicsin Canada just as all Canadians are protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights andFreedoms. The sexual practices of gays and lesbians are as much a part of their beingas the colour of one's skin or the gender, religion, age or ethnicity of anindividual. To use such brutal language as she does about such an essential characteristicflies in the face of Canadian provisions relating to human rights.
On August 15, her discussion was again limitedto the question of the "many forms of sexual behaviour that are unacceptable."She gave examples of parents having sex with their kids or having sex "with yourdad's new wife." She put homosexuality in the same category. Now, the questionagain is limited to that specific area of sexual activity which could be evaluated as areligious or moral matter, something which the CBSC has previously acknowledged asdiscussable within the bounds of the codified standards. In CHCH-TV re Life Today withJames Robison (CBSC Decision 95/96-0128, April 30, 1996), the Ontario Regional Panelexplained the line which can be drawn between acceptable and unacceptable commentsregarding homosexual activity.
The host's message was that monogamousheterosexuality was the "right" lifestyle. He expressed the view that a properinterpretation of the Bible leads to the conclusion that homosexuality is an unacceptablelifestyle (as is also the case with adulterous heterosexuality, according to hisinterpretation). It is not the Council's mandate to determine the correctness of theviews presented, but only whether the views were presented in a non-abusive, legitimatemanner. In a contrary circumstance, they would be in breach of the Code; however, in thiscase, the Council finds that the host's statements were expressed as his moralposition, presented in a legitimate manner and not at all as hateful commentary.
is free to describethe homosexual lifestyle as sinful, as did Life Today with James Robison, theprogram under consideration here has gone much further. It has treated support for themovement as "flimsy" and has disparaged that support (see, for example, thedismissal of a study authored by a gay activist with the general statement that "likeall gay science, it really has very flimsy foundations"). Moreover, it has attributedto the gay movement a malevolent, insidious and conspiratorial purpose, a so-called"agenda", which, in the view of the Council, constitutes abusivelydiscriminatory comment on the basis of sexual orientation, contrary to the provisions ofClause 2 of the CAB Code of Ethics.
Human beings do it heterosexually. That's howwere geared. Eggs, sperm, penis, vagina. That's just how the biology of it goes. WhatI did say is that when an individual is not so drawn to a member of the opposite sex, inbiology, that is some kind of error because it doesn't result in reproduction

Day 14: 31 Day Challenge – Thick Circular Scarf
Friday, January 14th, 2011I made this scarf using chunky burgundy yarn with a carrier yarn that was thin and fluffy, then I stripped it with a chunky variegated brown yarn. The stitches I used were knit one purl one on opposite rows which is referred to as the moss stitch. This scarf is so thick that it stands up at attention in a way that none of the other scarves have. I have to admit. I'm really attached to this one. I am planning to make one for myself very soon and maybe some to sell some because I LOVE this.
Here I am modeling the scarf, morning hair and all. I wanted to show how it sits on an actual person, because it can be hard to see this on the mannequin. I got a picture of myself in it, but then I felt you couldn't see the stitches. Below are better pictures of the actual scarf.
Here you can see the sexy that is the this scarf. I don't care if I sound crazy talking about my love for this scarf, because it's real. It fits so well and it so cozy.
This project is the last of the projects that I will be giving away. Now it's back to the wide world of projects for me {Rubbing hands together in a schemey kind of way}.
Day 14: Thick Circular Scarf –
This final scarf goes to Oona. I know Oona and she is such a good person with great Karma so she gets the scarf I like the best. Congratulations Oona on your winnings and for paying to forward with me in 2011!
In case you didn't read my first blog post about this project . . . this post is part of a 31 day challenge I am doing to bring more creativity, stories and solutions to my life. I have been using my creativity almost exclusively for work in the recent past and for the month of January I will creating things for my personal life, talking about them and taking pictures. I would love input from readers as to which project you enjoy the most and if I get enough comments on one particular project I'll turn it into a tutorial after the 31 day challenge of crafting, stories and solutions is over. So please let me know what you like!

Desk staff outstandingly friendly, patient, helpful, informed. We felt right "at home" in a large city.
Clean, comfortable and very friendly staff. Lots of street noise - which is normal/expected for a city hotel - but never once heard footsteps from upstairs, people talking in the hallway or slamming doors during the 4-night stay. Coffee shop next door and Starbucks across the street. Could hear the street music from Chinatown at night - which was super cool. I would absolutely stay here again.
Bathtub did not leak. Good contact before the visit
Front desk was helpful and informative. Bed was great, rooms efficient, location is perfect - next to the gates of China Town and heart of the City. Mile run to Coit Tower on Telegraph hill.
Great location, quirky fun decor. Some really nice restaurants right around the corner.
We loved the location, and the staff was very friendly. The rooms may look a little dated but, they had their own charm.
Fun environment! Funky colors but in a good way. Cool place overall!
Exceptional value. Friendly efficient staff. Lovely design touches and well thought out spaces, especially the bedrooms. We only stayed one night as we were catching a flight but could easily have stayed comfortably for a few more days. Great great great.

One of the most difficult, emotionally overwhelming, and heartbreaking times in our lives occurs following the loss of someone or something very near and dear to our hearts. Whether you are experiencing the physical loss of a beloved family member and/or pet or a symbolic loss, such as a job loss, I am here to help support you through the process of healing which has no time table. You deserve to find a sense of peace, fulfillment, and contentment again!

Grief is a psychological reaction to loss. Losses come in many different forms, for example loss of a loved one, being severely injured in an accident, being diagnosed with a debilitating illness, breakup of a marital relationship, postpartum depression and experiences such as grieving over the loss of a job. During the course of my career I headed up the Rehabilitation Psychology Services in one of the largest hospitals in the U.S. where I had the opportunity to work with grief reactions in people experiencing illnesses and injuries ranging from cancer to strokes to severe mental illness and spinal cord injury.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be one of the hardest things to overcome. Allowing yourself to feel the grief is the best thing you can do. Bridgette strives to provide her clients a compassionate ear and safe place to heal from their loss, help understand the different stages of grief they are experiencing and start seeing hope in each day.

Grief is a natural response to loss. A loss of any magnitude can trigger grief--from losing a loved one to losing a job, from ending a relationship to a significant financial loss. Grieving poorly can lead to unresolved and unprocessed pain that lasts a lifetime. On the other hand, grieving well is one of the most important skills in life and can lead to lasting healing and wholeness. Call Sarah for an appointment (770) 548-3034.
"You can't go over it, you have to go through it." A line in the popular children's book "Going on a Bear Hunt", is strangely comparable to what walking through the grieving process to find healing is like. The pain does not go away over night but with both time and by engaging with someone considered safe and present, the healing can happen and hope, restored. As it may seem almost impossible at the moment, especially if your grief is new, you can have a "new normal", and enjoy life once again. Calling someone to process the experience is the first step to "getting through".
284 South Main Street, Suite 800, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009
I assist clients in working trough their grief and finding meaning in the painful situation they find themselves in. Counseling can give the type of support that may not be available from family and friends. Grief is complicated and no two people experience it in the same way. Working together with clients I help them become strong and able to enjoy their life again.
284 S. Main St Suite 800, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009
Therapeutic support for grief and loss, along with life transitions counseling can be beneficial to those who have experienced losses such as the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, a separation or divorce, a job loss, the loss of one's health, or the loss of something dear to them. With over 10 years of experience in Hospice, I offer the dedicated and compassionate professional support you need to help you navigate through the shock, sadness, and emptiness, and arrive at a place of peace and healing.
Downtown Alpharetta, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009
If you can grieve well, you can live well. Loss is a normal part of life, so learning to grieve loss should be a normal part of life as well. If you struggle with grief and loss, I can help. More than likely, you feel "stuck" in your grief. You probably are. I believe getting stuck happens because our culture doesn't value grieving. It actually teaches us to "move on." You should be able to move on. The trick is how. I can help you navigate your grief in a way that will move you thorough it. The approach I use can also be used with any other troubling emotions. Contact me today for help with your grief. You don't have to remain stuck any longer.

I have advanced training and experience in helping people deal with traumatic loss and grief including loss through suicide, accident or needing to put a pet to sleep. My approach helps you reduce disturbing images and bad dreams related to the loss, reduce feelings of guilt, reduce a sense of hopelessness about your future, and reconnect to happy images and memories of the person or pet you lost. I have also helped people with job loss and relationship endings. I also incorporate a six step model for accommodating loss and EMDR Therapy to help reduce the pain of the grief process.

In the presence of warmth and compassion, I help clients to work through the phases and stages of grief at their own pace. When clients have experienced loss due to death, divorce or separation from someone they love, the most important foundation to a healing process is having a therapist who is consistently able to hold that space of unconditional warmth. There is no rushing the process of grief. My professional support provides a steady place to do the work of grieving and healing.
4411 Suwanee Dam Road, Suite 440, Suwanee, Georgia 30024
We have all experience loss in one way or another. Whether it be loss of a loved one, career, or dream, we can all identify with the heartbreak that comes from moving on. Often people say "time heals all wounds," and partly that is true, however time itself isn't magic. Time allows us space to be able to process and grieve. When the loss is overwhelming, people often get stuck in the grief. We work with clients to help them get unstuck, honor the loss, heal the wound, and when they are ready - dream new dreams. You do not have to be alone in this grieving process. Let us walk with you through this difficult time.

OK, in my basement I have 2-prong plug-ins. Everything works fine with them. I guess you'd have to say they are open ground since they are not 3-prong plug-ins, right? (My house was built in 1957 BTW.) I do plug in to them via GFI strips anyway. Anyway, I guess I should get testers for both 2-prong AND 3-prong plug-ins as there are a few of those around here too (3'ers), not to mention for testing places you may play at. So...here are 2 for consideration: I am a bit confused in that the 3501 model is ONLY for GFCI outlets like you might find in a bathroom right? 1. Gardner Bender GFI-3501 GFCI Outlet Tester (3-prong): Product Features Tests ground fault receptacles by overloading circuit and tripping GFCI Easy to use Tests for seven conditions Succession of yellow and red lights provides indications of circuit status or specifies wiring errors Tester trips GFCI between 6-9 mA http://www.amazon.com/ 2.Gardner Bender GFI-501A Ground Fault Receptacle Tester and Circuit Analyzer (2 -prong) Product Features Professional grade ground fault receptacle tester Easy-to-read red and yellow light system Protected by a ground fault receptacle Tester trips GFCI between 6- 9 mA 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-GFI-501A-Receptacle-Circuit-Analyzer/dp/B00004WLJM I also am wondering if it is not just more handy to bring a GFI strip to plug into at anyplace you play anyway. What say the electro-whizzes here?
The second one is not a 2-prong tester, it has all 3 prongs but it's not clear from the angle of the photograph. Yes, the first one will also test GFCI outlets and breakers, but I'm pretty sure it won't work (it won't trip a GFCI) without a working ground line. GFCI power strips are providing you with protection against getting electrocuted, but won't do anything else.
Crater is correct. Your number 2 selection is also 3 prong. http://electrical.specialhomeitemsa...fault_receptacle_tester_and_circuit_analyzer/
You cant have a 2 prong ground tester because 2 prong outlets don't have a ground connection. Thats what the third pin is for.
There is no ground at all with a two prong receptacle. GFCI will protect you from shock but you will still be using an ungrounded circuit.I'm not sure why you are looking at GFCI testers? If you think someone has installed grounded type receptacles without a ground(illegal wiring but commonly done by do-it-yourselfers)just use any electrical tester/meter and see if you get a reading between the slots but not to the ground prong slot,it's not grounded.
Guess for starters I had better make sure to ground all the little tabs on the 3 to 2 pin adapters to the outlet screws. Then keep a regular ground tester handy anyway. In the end-does using my GFCI strips protect my equipment properly?---short of re-wiring the house.
Yes, and you should then use an outlet tester to tell you if the grounds are connected to anything. The box is supposed to be grounded. On old houses this was done via the BX cable. Usually the fuse or circuit breaker box is grounded to a water pipe to establish ground. Ground fault interrupters are designed to protect from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a difference in the currents in the "hot" and neutral wires. Such a difference indicates that an abnormal diversion of current from the "hot" wire is occuring. Such a current might be flowing in the ground wire. I'm not sure what that has to do with protecting your equipment. You find them in bathrooms because the water pipes are grounded. If you were to drop a blow dryer in the tub for instance, it will trip the circuit breaker, because current will be flowing into the ground wire.
OK. I guess the strip (GFI or not) will at least protect from spikes which is the main reason to use'em.
A GFI on a two wire outlet will protect YOU but not your equipment. As for surge protectors most of them are junk too. Couple questions: 1) Are your outlets flush mounted? In other words, are they sunk into the walls so that the plate on front lays against the wall? 2) What material are the walls? Cinder block? Concrete? Brick? 3) Is there drywall or just bare bricks? 4) Do you have any idea how the wire gets from one outlet to another? Through the walls or do they all go straight up into the unknown that is your ceiling? 5) Is your basement actually underground? 6) Is your basement "pretty"? In other words, is the room more utilitarian in design or just as nice as any other room in the house? The reason I ask all these questions is that rewiring might not be such a project depending on what your answers are.
In my area, the boxes are most often NOT grounded in houses of roughly the same vintage as the OP's. The original wiring in my current house, probably built in the early 50s, is cloth jacketed without a dedicated ground wire. The house I grew up in, also built in the early 50s, had bakelite boxes. In both of these houses, any box that has been added or replaced more recently is plastic. In none of these cases can the cover plate screw be used as a ground.
No. Your equipment won't be protected. A good Power conditioner would help protect your equipment. IMO Class D Amps all need Power Conditioners
OP, Wow! Someone other than a mason who knows the difference between cinder block and concrete block! My band practices/rehearses in my (unfinished) basement. Rather than run new wiring the entire length of the basement from the beaker box, I gounded a couple outlets to an overhead copper water line. You might be able to do the same without needing to do too much wall/ceiling patching. As for the post about class D amps "needing" a "power conditioner": I've been running at least one class D power amp in my PA rack for several years and am currently using a class D bass amp, all without a power conditioner. Haven't had a single problem that could be traced to anything a typical "power conditioner" would have prevented. A GFCI will protect you. A good surge protector will protect your equipment. Both are available as units that plug into wall outlets.
Hah=====gimme concrete over cinder any day Yes, my GFIC is also a surge protector. Soon I'll be paying attention to and working on all the grounding info (including yours) gained from this post, thanks to the knowledgeable TBer's we have. Thanks all. And Merry Christmas to all as well.

Over the last few months I have been hearing and reading a lot about Remind101. With this website and app, teachers can text messages to students, parents, and others who want to be informed and stay in touch.
There are already several ways that I connect with our school community and others with news and happenings from our library.
I have the Van Meter Voice Facebook page and on Twitter you can find us at @vmlibraryvoice. I post photographs, videos, projects, news of our guest authors and illustrators Skype's, special news from our "Technical Difficulties" and "Mind Craft" after school groups, new digital tools and apps to try, and so much more.
I create the Van Meter Library Voice Monthly using Smore which I share through Facebook, Twitter, and emails. I have a Diigo Group for our library to share resources and links. I also use Instagram and Foursquare to connect with our community, especially the students.
With Remind101, I think I can get this information to even more people.....An easy, powerful, and fun way to connect our school community to all of the wonderful learning, creating, collaboration, and noise that takes place every single day.
Today I set up "Classes" for each of my elementary library and technology classes. I set up one for the Van Meter Staff and Van Meter National Honor Society, which I sponsor. It is very simple to set up your classes with a Class Name and Class Code.
I also created one that I will be sharing with everyone.....Van Meter Library Voice Remind101. Anyone, not just people from the Van Meter school community, can join this Remind101 Class.
It is one more way that we can take down the walls and connect our library to the world.
Once you have created a Class in Remind101, you can see each on its own screen where it gives you information about that specific class. As people start subscribing to the class, each individual will show up under "Subscribers". This is where you manage these people as well.
It gives you the option to "View" or "Print". This makes it very easy to have people subscribe to your class because they will have the information they need.
If you select Print, it gives you this nice page just like the one above. It can be copied to hand out or a put onto a blog, wiki, or website for others to see.
In the app, I also love how it gives you this screen with each class you have set up. I went to the Van Meter Library Voice class, selected "How To Join" at the bottom of the screen, and it gave me this screen with the information that I needed. During back-to-school open house with our families and during the first days of school, I will help our school community add the Remind101 app to their devices and get signed up for the Classes that they would like to receive information about.
This is one more way we can all connect to our students, teachers, and library every day.
And not just to the library, but to our school and other teachers as well. When I was writing this post, our elementary P.E. teacher Bart Jones sent me a tweet saying he wanted to use Remind101 too. I am so excited that Bart wants to use Remind101 and I know others will want to as well.
Thank you Remind101 for bringing us one more way to come together and connect.
And please join the Van Meter Library Voice Remind101 to connect with us too.

This Trend RT/11 router cutter (full code: RT/11X1/2TC) is a 1/2 inch, single-flute cutter with replaceable solid carbide blades that present a clear economical advantage over conventional brazed tip tooling.
Straight cutters have blades with two or four cutting edges, allowing them to be rotated and locked in identical positions. The tool body remains in place when changing blades, thus reducing down-time, and the single blade can be rotated 180 degrees to give double the life of a conventional tool. Suitable for plunge cutting.

Tracer rounds whizzed overhead, mortar shells burst nearby and heavy machine guns clattered. Then as suddenly as it began, it was over. Sergeant Zapata brushed away the powdery dust that coated him like flour, walked downstairs and started to sing.
"Sometimes when we touch," he warbled, his mind stuck on a tune recorded before he was born 30 years ago. "Hey, how does that song go?"
"The honesty's too much," a soldier helped.
"And I have to close my eyes and cry," yet another continued, in a comically quavering falsetto. (The actual lyric: "And I have to close my eyes and hide.")
For G.I.'s, life on the front lines has two sides. There are, of course, the adrenaline-fueled moments of fighting, when soldiers try to forget their fear, remember their training and watch one another's backs.
And then there is everything else, the dirty, sweaty, unglamorous and frequently tedious work of being infantrymen. Filling sandbags. Stirring caldrons of burning waste. Lying in the dirt while on guard duty. Cleaning weapons. And more than anything else, waiting -- for orders, for patrols, for the chance to sleep or eat. They even wait for the fighting they know will come.
It is a life of wild pendulum swings. One moment, their sergeants are barking at them to stay ready, eyes focused, rifles loaded, protective gear at hand. In the next, the soldiers are searching for amusement, killing time with the skill of people who have had plenty of practice.
They tell stories about girlfriends, wives, drinking and sex. They wrestle and play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. They share music on iPods and check football scores on BlackBerrys. They debate evolution and chase chickens. They argue over comic-book heroes and then tell more stories about sex.
During a six-day mission in October with Delta Company, First Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, both sides of frontline life were on display. Firefights, truck-flipping mine explosions and earth-shaking mortar exchanges. And the pauses in between, when life in their encampment felt like a guys-only slumber party.
Pfc. William Moody taught Afghan police officers how to curse in English. Specialist Joshua Chamberlain sang a dirty song about his soon-to-be ex-wife. And Staff Sgt. Jonathon Clark and Sergeant Zapata, on their fifth deployment together, argued over an issue that had divided the men of the battalion's Second Platoon for a week: could Batman beat Superman in a fight?
(Sergeant Clark: "If you took Clark Kent as a man, Bruce Wayne would whip his ass. He knows karate." Sergeant Zapata: "Batman's got skills, but those aren't superpowers. You could just kill him with a gun.")
Inevitably, as the vacant minutes multiplied, many soldiers -- though not all -- found themselves craving combat.
They had come here to train the Afghan police. But fighting is the reason many of them signed on to be infantrymen. In a war with no easily defined endpoint, combat provides some sense of progress, at least when the enemy is bloodied. And if nothing else, it makes time pass faster.
"When our platoon actually goes out there and we do get into firefights, the guys love it," said Sergeant Clark, a squad leader in Second Platoon. "They get tired of just sitting."
A Show of Strength
The roughly two dozen men of Second Platoon arrived in the village of Nahr-i-Sufi before daybreak, after tripping through rutted cotton fields and splashing through irrigation canals under the cover of darkness.
The village bordered hostile territory to the north, where a mix of local Pashtun fighters and Islamist separatists from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan held sway. When they camped here for three days in July, insurgents attacked them every day, twice a day.
American commanders could draw a line on a map that, when crossed, would almost certainly lead to a fight. Nahr-i-Sufi was right on that line, only a mile from the fortified police headquarters for the district, known as Chahar Darreh.
Being on the border meant that the elders of Nahr-i-Sufi seemed prepared to support whichever side they thought was winning the war at that moment. Delta Company, accompanied by a small troop of Afghan police officers, was there to show that they were stronger.
Second Platoon set up camp in a residential compound on the village's northwestern corner, the most likely to come under fire first. The owner sent his wife and children to a neighbor's home, but he stayed, bantering with the police and the soldiers, who showed him how to tuck tobacco under his lower lip and spit into a bottle. (They politely refused his green Afghan "dip," worrying that it contained opium.)
But later that morning, the owner received a phone call that made the soldiers suspicious, and they confiscated his cellphone. He departed, taking his two cows. Later, village elders would say that they were not pleased to be forced from their homes, particularly because it was harvest season.
"I apologized to him," Sgt. First Class Craig Pritchard said later of the owner. "This is war."
The first sound of combat arrived at midmorning with an explosion on the main road. An American truck had hit a mine that pitched it onto its roof and sent two of its tires sailing into adjacent fields. But the four people inside survived and were evacuated by helicopter to be treated for concussions and cuts.
Inside their newly appropriated compound -- with its 10-foot walls, stable, courtyard filled with chickens and main house -- the soldiers hurried their preparations for battle.
The roof of the mud-brick house became their main fighting position, from which soldiers could fire unhindered at insurgents hiding in a tree line 500 yards away. All morning they lugged 30-pound sandbags from a nearby command post and hefted them one by one up a ladder onto the thatched roof, which bowed under their weight.
Every soldier in the platoon except the medic was required to do guard duty on the roof, two hours on, two off. It could be cold, uncomfortable, mind-numbing work, lying prone behind sandbags that barely covered their helmets. But Pfc. Cade Guidry, a 22-year-old from Louisiana known as Bayou, volunteered repeatedly for the duty because he wanted to fire his weapon.
"I'm an adrenaline junkie, I admit it," he said. "I love to fight."
Some officers warned the younger soldiers that once they had seen casualties or experienced a close call or two, they might be less eager to see combat. (Six American soldiers have died in the region since March: two from the battalion, which is part of the 10th Mountain Division; three from mine-clearing teams working with the battalion; and one from a Special Forces unit.)
Specialist David Gedert, for one, had lost some of his enthusiasm for the fight. He was a thoughtful 21-year-old from Detroit with an interest in poetry and Japanese films as well as guns. As an infant, he was given up for adoption, and he grew up wondering who his biological parents were. A little more than a year ago, he found a tattered photo of his biological mother in a shoebox and had her likeness tattooed on his left arm, thinking he would never meet her. (He did, just weeks before deploying.)
On Facebook, Specialist Gedert once proclaimed himself a fan of "anything that goes boom." But earlier in the deployment, he was almost hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. Now, explosions made him jumpy -- and just about every firefight began with an explosion.
"That first R.P.G. kind of spoiled it for me," he said early in the Nahr-i-Sufi mission. "I'm not eager to be in a fight."
Life as an Open Book
If upstairs was for fighting, downstairs was for everything else.
Here, an open-air hallway connected two bedrooms lined with dusty pillows and cushions. The only furniture was two rusted bed frames with no mattresses. On a wall hung the lone adornment: a photo ripped from a magazine depicting a rustic village, perhaps European. Water came from a well, light from a single bulb.
Here the soldiers ate, slept, shaved, played and bantered, like brothers who knew one another's every quirk. Specialist Chamberlain, 26, personified their open-book way of life.
The platoon medic, Specialist Chamberlain, raised on a ranch in Arizona, was also its troubadour and jester. On some missions, he took along his 6-string and 12-string guitars, passing them around for anyone to pick. He sang his own country-style songs and told stories, often about himself -- like the time he raced to a bar near Fort Drum in upstate New York to help a friend in a fight, only to be arrested before throwing a punch.
As everyone knew, he had married the same woman twice. The first time they were teenagers who lived on food stamps. By his telling, she cheated on him and they split up. But after joining the Army, he fell for her again and they remarried -- until, on leave during this deployment, he says, he discovered she was cheating on him. Again. He has filed for divorce. Again.
"I loved her," he said. "And I thought she loved me."
When they were not eating, sleeping or pulling guard duty, the soldiers often engaged in a jazz-like form of debate, riffing on topics like whether chickens had evolved from dinosaurs or big cats could be properly domesticated. But no subject captured their imaginations more vividly than il Duce.
Il Duce was a mound of human waste spotted in a latrine at their home base that was so spectacular someone had given it a name. Discussing it had become the unofficial platoon pastime. Squeeze peanut butter on bread, il Duce was mentioned. Discuss a film, starring roles were pondered: Predator versus il Duce. Mention Facebook, plans for an il Duce fan page were hatched.
But as often as not, conversations led back to home. "When we go home, everything will be great," Pvt. Brandon Thompson mused between firefights one morning. "Air-conditioning will be great. Cold water will be great. Sleep will be great."
"Yeah," Specialist Christian Dupree interjected, "for about a month."
Each night, as the chatter died down and the temperatures dropped below 50, the men downstairs crowded into a bedroom, wrapped themselves in ponchos and struggled to stay warm, lying side by side on the dirt floor, as close as canned fish.
A Sudden Attack
Each day brought gunfire, sometimes intense, sometimes sporadic. Under rules of engagement intended to prevent civilian casualties, the Americans rarely shot first, even when they suspected insurgents of gathering nearby. But when the enemy attacked, the soldiers returned fire with overwhelming force: .50-caliber machine guns, sniper rifles, mortars and grenade launchers.
One afternoon, two squads from Second Platoon fanned out into the fields bordering the main road, looking for trigger wires to buried explosives. They did not find a wire, but a team of snipers stumbled upon a handful of insurgents dressed in black who were dashing out of a house a few hundred yards off the road. One of the insurgents launched a grenade that exploded just a few feet behind the Americans, knocking several to the ground. None were badly hurt.
Across the street, another squad from Second Platoon heard the explosion and ducked into an empty house. Within minutes, machine guns and mortar rounds were going off in several directions: small bands of insurgents were attacking American positions on the other side of town. The squad dashed back toward its compound, which was taking fire.
One of the soldiers in that squad was Private Moody, who had played bass in a popular heavy metal band in his hometown, Asheville, N.C. At 26, he was older than many of his platoon mates and had proved himself steady in combat. When the platoon was ambushed in a village called Qaryatim in July, he reacted quickly and shot an insurgent fighter trying to flank the unit.
With his caustic sense of humor, he loved to rage against the "garrison rules" requiring soldiers to maintain dress and hygiene standards even on combat missions, including daily shaves.
Now his squad was getting lost in the narrow alleys of Nahr-i-Sufi, jumping over walls and banging on locked doors. When the soldiers finally reached their own compound, panting and sweating, Private Moody wondered why they had not stood and fought.
"Did you hear about our new reaction on contact?" he quipped. "We run!"
Sergeant Pritchard exploded in anger. The squad had to regroup to avoid being surrounded, he argued. "What are you, a strategic genius now after one year in the Army?" he yelled.
Making Friends and Enemies
On Day 5, the company began its withdrawal from Nahr-i-Sufi. Leaving was no simple matter. The Afghan police had received reports of improvised explosive devices along the route, either strung from the trees or buried in the road. A mine-clearing team led the way, looking for both.
Trucks known as Huskies that carried metal detectors and ground-penetrating radar went first. Behind them, the 20-ton "Buffalo" used mechanical arms to probe the dirt for wires and explosives.
Somehow, they missed one. Twenty yards behind the Buffalo, a thundering explosion from a deeply buried mine tossed an armored truck into the air and left a 10-foot-deep crater.
"Welcome to H. M. E." said Pfc. Robert Gooch, a gunner inside the Buffalo, referring to the homemade explosives containing fertilizer that their equipment had trouble detecting.
Though the mine was powerful, it had not penetrated the heavily armored truck, and injuries were not life-threatening. But for the next 20 hours the convoy remained stalled, as first a tow truck and then a crane failed to pull the truck upright. Finally, before dawn the next day, a German tank succeeded.
For the G.I.'s, the wait was excruciating. Some were stuck inside trucks. Others camped in compounds without their packs, freezing. To some, it seemed a fittingly futile end to the mission.
Clearly, they had alienated some residents of Nahr-i-Sufi. But the fighting might have also had a positive impact: shortly after it ended, an insurgent commander from a nearby village announced that he was switching sides. American commanders were convinced that their show of force was the reason. (Those commanders believe they inflicted more than a dozen casualties on the insurgents.)
For Specialist Gedert, the mission was memorable in a different way.
On a patrol, his squad had found itself in a firefight in the middle of a field. Specialist Gedert looked up and saw a man in a black robe with a Kalashnikov rifle hiding behind trees 30 yards away. He fired his automatic weapon from the hip and cut the man down.
He recalled the moment later with evident pride. "It was awesome," he said. But then he paused and reconsidered. "And scary. It was dumb luck. It could have been me."
Wearily, he joined his platoon mates as they unloaded their trucks back at their home base in Kunduz. A warm shower, a hot breakfast, Facebook, cigarettes and sleep were their priorities, pretty much in that order. But there was one other pressing matter.
"Got to shave," Private Moody said as he shouldered his pack and began the trudge back to his tent.

Well, what a weekend outside of the ring.
And, RAW's in Brooklyn tonight, just two weeks from WrestleMania. Should be a fun, wild ride.

If they were in Corpus Christi or something I think it'd be okay but there's no way NY stays quiet if New Day comes out, Paige chants everywhere.

This will either be really great or really painful. We'll see.
Instead of needless and mindless chanting for Woods/Paige/Maddox, we need more chants about Southpaw Regional Wrestling!
And they need to air the Ric Flair impersonator ad to promote KFC.
Big thanks to Surrender!

Maybe CM Punk chants aren't so bad after all.
All credit goes to surrender!
I have a feeling that this will be another one of those nights that will make me ashamed to be a wrestling fan...
This is going to be a long night for WWE's production team.
Heard there are already we want Paige chants going before they even start the show.
I don't understand why HHH threatened Mick to stick around when Steph has been threatening to get rid of him for weeks.
I swear to god if they open with Stephanie.
Foley's resigning, isn't he?

NASCAR signs exclusive toy deal
Published June 13, 2011, Page 4
Terms of the agreement were not available.
Spin Master, with U.S. offices in Los Angeles, is a privately held toy company with more than $1 billion in revenue. It is the creator of Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Air Hogs and has licensing agreements with Disney and Nickelodeon.
It will launch its first line of NASCAR products in the spring of 2012.
"We want to grow two segments within the NASCAR business," said Craig Sims, Spin Master's vice president of global licensing. "One is the collector. But if you take a look at the toys we've introduced the past few years, we're all about storytelling. We're really going to try and increase the excitement of [NASCAR] toys and we're going to try and really introduce excitement into kids toys."
It's the fourth major agreement signed by NASCAR Properties, which was created a year ago. The group also has signed agreements with Motorsports Authentics to manage trackside retail; Lionel NASCAR Collectibles for die-cast cars; and Wal-Mart for apparel and novelty gift products.
The trust has revolutionized NASCAR's licensing business by creating a centralized licensing agency that represents teams, drivers and league marks. In the past, each team managed its own licensing rights, and licensees were required to do a different deal for each driver it wanted. Five licenses often meant five separate negotiations.
Sims said Spin Master probably wouldn't have considered signing a licensing agreement with NASCAR before the trust. He added, "It led to the economies of scale and the efficiencies and opportunities that may have not existed previously."
NASCAR began searching for a toy partner not long after creating the trust. It spoke to Hasbro, Mattel and other toymakers before selecting Spin Master. It picked the company because it liked Spin Master's ingenuity and efforts to put its toys before its own brand, said Blake Davidson, NASCAR's vice president of licensing and consumer products.
"They took an approach of 'There's no limitations at all,' and that really grabbed us," Davidson said.
Officials at NASCAR Properties consider the toy category to be one of the most important because it can help the sport appeal to youth. NASCAR has an aging fan base, and it has worked to appeal to youth by allowing children into the garage on race day.
"We see toys as an extension of efforts at growing the fan base," said Scott Hammonds, Hendrick Motorsports' vice president of licensing and the chairman of NASCAR Properties' toy committee. "Innovation is key to us because kids can't go out and play NASCAR in their backyard. It's a little more difficult to get a kid into NASCAR, and innovation can help."
Spin Master will be tasked with not only creating toys but also rebuilding the toy business of NASCAR, which has not had a major toy partner most of the year.
"We have to get the business humming," Sims said. "We've gotten a lot of great feedback already for spring 2012, when we are launching our product. We want to get back to a point where NASCAR has a brand in the business."

T. G. Jackson
with an Introduction
by Richard Dalby
1-899562-68-0; xix + 147pp
Published 15 January 1999
Sir Thomas Graham Jackson (18351924) was celebrated, in his day, as one of the foremost architects in England. His many commissions and restorations included extensive work at Oxford, Cambridge, and many English public schools, while his work at Winchester Cathedral between 1905 and 1912 almost certainly ensured that great church's survival to the present day.
Jackson was also a keen traveller and antiquarian, whose journeys took him throughout Britain and Europe. His wide-ranging interests were to stand him in good stead when, later in his life, he wrote several ghost stories for the amusement of family and friends.
These tales were collected together in bookform in 1919; and, with one exception, none of the stories has been reprinted since. They range in setting from eighteenth century London to twentieth century Italy, and include ghosts both malevolent and benevolent. 'The Lady of Rosemount' and 'The Eve of St John' tell of ghosts from the past intruding on the present, while 'The Ring' concerns an ancient curse visited on an over-inquisitive visitor to Italy. In 'Pepina' and 'The Red House', restless spirits return to haunt those responsible for their deaths; and in 'A Romance of the Piccadilly Tube' Jackson has created one of the first ghost stories set in the London Underground.
In his extensive Introduction, Richard Dalby has provided an account of the life and achievements of the unique personality behind Six Ghost Stories; and Jackson's scholarly tales of ghosts and hauntings are sure to please lovers of the classic supernatural story.
CONTENTS: Introduction by Richard Dalby; 'The Lady of Rosemount'; 'The Ring'; 'A Romance of the Piccadilly Tube'; 'The Eve of St John'; 'Pepina'; 'The Red House'.

Michael Waltrip Racing sets July 7 announcement to discuss future; Martin Truex Jr. remains mum
There are 17 comments on the Scene Daily story from Jun 28, 2009, titled Michael Waltrip Racing sets July 7 announcement to discuss future; Martin Truex Jr. remains mum. In it, Scene Daily reports that:
It appears Martin Truex Jr. could possibly be hired to replace owner/driver Michael Waltrip at Michael Waltrip Racing.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Scene Daily.
Jul 4, 2009
I've been a serious Michael & Darrell Waltrip fan for YEARS. I think it's time for Michael to turn over the wheel of the race car and head for the TV booth. REALLY enjoy Mike and DW on TV and are both top notch announcers in my book.
Jul 5, 2009
I'd rather see him join Hendricks Motorsports, so he and Junior can make some more of their hilarious commercials. |
Jul 5, 2009
If POS joined HMS, that is about all he would be good for......making stupid commercials! He surely couldn't drive[wall-bang] one of their race cars, besides they are not JAP-rides, either. 10-4? __________ DW said they had a hold on this joint. "And we're going to take something home with us tonight"! Yeppers, DW, the only thing POS took home were two, big, piles of JAP-scrap, back to that converted bowling alley/cinema in Cornelius-LMFAO, Banger-Buds! Daytona 07/04/2009 |
Jul 5, 2009
You know how there is always a guy at Hendrick that is the odd man out? Need I say more? Say NO to Hendrick Motorsports! That would be a scream if Mikey won a race if he went over there! |
Jul 5, 2009
Mikey said at the begining of the season if he wasn't competitive he was done...
Jul 5, 2009
I hope not.... |
Jul 5, 2009
If Mikey and DW would both get completely out of racing, and out of the broadcast booth, it would be a great day
Jul 5, 2009
I totally agree! Wouldn't it be nice :) |
Since: Jan 09 96 Canada |
Jul 5, 2009
Awwwh, I love Mikey! I'm waiting patiently to see what the MWR announcement will be :)One part I'm sure is that Mikey is leaving the 55 car, but who will fill it?! Probably Martin yes.. But who knows |
"yes we race in Canada too lol" Since: Feb 08 465 Vernon, Canada |
Jul 5, 2009
Hopefully it's martin that replaces him, but Mikey won't be totally gone we know that lol. Hey congrat's on your driver's win on sat. I thought his interview was awesome, very humble. |
Jul 6, 2009
What time????
Jul 6, 2009
Amen, brother! |
Since: Aug 07 7,829 Location hidden |
Jul 6, 2009
I like Mikey as well. He is funny and has a well rounded personality. I hope he goes to part time next year instead of retiring. I am just glad that his team is doing better. |
"yes we race in Canada too lol" Since: Feb 08 465 Vernon, Canada |
Jul 6, 2009
Kinda cute too. lol I think the plan is for him to run a limited schedule and Truex is taking over the 55 full time. |
Since: Aug 07 7,829 Location hidden |
Jul 7, 2009
Wow, they both are gonna run in the Daytona 500 with NAPA, thats cool. Truex is going to run #56. You were right, he announced he was running a limited schedule, but he will still be in the 55. |
"yes we race in Canada too lol" Since: Feb 08 465 Vernon, Canada |
Jul 7, 2009
Yup it's great that he get's to keep the family # and Michael still get's to drive the 55 in Daytona and more. I think MWR is gonna have a great season in 2010! |
Jul 8, 2009
Renee said she was over on Mike's Facebook and they were showing some footage of the conference we didn't see...she said she saw Buffy and Macy for a few minutes. I missed that. |

The NSA Repeatedly Violated Court Rules on Data ProtectionCasey Chan9/10/13 7:27pmFiled to: privacynsafisaspyingphone recordsgovernment302EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In news that you already assumed was already happening, the NSA declassified documents that reveal repeated violations of American's phone records. A judge said the NSA had "daily violations" for over two years and that "thousands" of American phone numbers had been improperly accessed. Advertisement Is it massive incompetence or a blatant disregard for privacy? Probably a little of both. The NSA had told FISA courts in 2009 that "from a technical standpoint, there was no single person who had a complete understanding" of its phone records "architecture". So yeah, that sounds like the NSA has absolutely no idea what they're doing.But at the same time, The Guardian points out how the government simply plays by a different set of rules. A declassified document revealed that the Justice Department said the government was acting in a manner "directly contrary" to a court order and "directly contrary to the sworn attestations of several executive branch officials" when it came to accessing the phone records database.
