Chevrolet put the first 2014 Corvette Stingray up for auction last week at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. With a VIN ending in 0001, it was expected the all-new Corvette would fetch big money. What no one expected, however, was that it would fetch quite this much.
The winning bid: $1.1 million, according to Motor Authority. And who was crazy enough to pay that hefty amount? NASCAR team owner Richard Hendrick.
Hendrick also recently paid $270,000 for a rare 1958 Corvette owned by former General Motors CEO Dan Akerson. On top of that, Hendrick also shelled out $1 million for a 1968 Corvette racecar. Clearly, Hendrick is one wealthy Corvette collector.
What makes the price even more staggering is when you put it into perspective. The first 2013 SRT Viper only fetched $300,000 at auction – virtually peanuts next to the Stingray's winning bid.
Funny thing is, Hendrick will have to wait until fall before he'll receive his $1.1-million-dollar Stingray. C7 production in Bowling Green, Kentucky isn't scheduled to begin for six months or so. The one rolled onto the Barrett-Jackson stage for auction was a test model.
When Hendrick's C7 is delivered, however, he'll be the owner of one of the most capable Corvettes ever. Powered by the new LT1 6.2-liter V8, the Stingray will produce 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque and be capable of 0-60 run in 3.9 seconds.
For those of us not blessed with a vast fortune, you can look for the Stingray to start somewhere around the $50,000 mark and will go on sale late 2013.

Feel my amazing brain. Go on, touch it!
Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.
By Stephen King? My writing teacher worshipped that book.
Just read (again) Cosmic Trigger 1-3, Quantum Psychology and Prometheus Rising by RAW. When I first read these, my english was not so good and things were new and interesting, but now I get the message:8-circuits in my ass.It's like when you take psychedelics and you go all WOAH, this is real, but then after a while you understand it's not. Right now, I'm: And if somebody is offended, I'm sorry, but it's time to wake up. Again.edit: I never believed that there were 8-circuits or any circuits, but like many I believed I could "use" that model to "improve something". But it's impossible to "use" models, because they do not exist. All you can do, is to spin them around inside your head. That's about it. With every model.
that sounds really interesting.So tell us - did the Greeks believe their myths?

Make these darling little paper tube animals for a fun Valentine activity. Body and legs are all one piece cut from tp rolls and paper towel rolls. Great homeschool project. Make an entire zoo of animals, making freehand heads and tails.
Items needed:
- Paper tubes from t paper or paper towels
- Scissors
- Empty cereal box
- Pencil/ marker
- Tacky glue to fortify leg joints
- Paint/ brush
- Make various sized animals, depending on the length of tube you choose to start with. Giraffe was made from a paper towel tube and cat was made from a toilet paper tube.
- For legs, cut a slit on each end of the tube to desired leg length. (center area will be the body. Now make an angled cut on either side of the slit to form the legs. ( angle will be away from the center cut.) Cut away the sections next to the legs, cutting around the tube so that you now only have the center body area and the legs.
- Bend legs down and then, using tacky glue, smear a bit of glue on the topside and bottom side of the leg joints. Let this dry with body lying on it\'s side. This will help strengthen the legs and keep them in position easier.
- Meanwhile, cut out patterns for the heads and ears and then trace onto a section of the cereal box or similar box. Cut out, making slits for joining where indicated.
- Make curly tails from sections you have already discarded when making the body & legs.
- Make 1/2 inch slits for the head and tail on the upper side of the body.
- Paint all pieces and let dry thoroughly.
- Assemble your animals. Make a whole zoo of animals, making any funny animal you can imagine.

Among the scans that I received from Daniell was this letter written to my grandma Piggott just after the death of my grandpa. It is from her sister Adelia Scofield after returning home from being at her side.
Our darling Blanche & family
We arrived O.K, and Cornell
& Florine were waiting in Idaho Falls
for us. It is a good thing that I came
back or I probably would have lost
my job, for I have been off so much.
I thot of you all day and hoped you
would be able to stand it alone, and
how I wish that I could have stayed
by your side for at least a month for
you need someone, we are praying
for you constantly that you will
have strength to bear this. How did
the baby sleep last night, I hope
she didn't keep you awake all
Verda told me that she would
stay with you as much as she
could & with Von too, you will
not be left alone
I talked with Mrs. Willifred who
lost her husband and was left with 4
children. She said that you will have
to go to the office of public welfare
in Montpelier or Paris, I don't know
where it is if Madsen paid
Social Security tax, which he did
you will be eligible for 9.50
per child, and then the State
will give you so much. Now they
allowed her $25 a month as a payment
on her home until that is paid
for. They evidently make out a
budget for you & if you have
a garden they deduct $35 a year
from what you get. She said
the County commissioners pass
their approval on what will
be given to you, so if you apply
while this is fresh on their
memory you will probably get
more than if you wait. Tell them
about your farm & that it will
probably take what it brings in
to pay for it. If you mention your
Life Insurance tell them it will
take all of it to make you free
from debt. So Blanch get your
self a new washer, bed & chest of
drawers & a bath room, when you
can for now will be your only chance
and you can pay the funeral
expense & the Govm't off, and
get the things you need. Your
living will come alright.
I wont have time for more now
tell the folks I'll write to them
later, I am doing this in the store.
Now these are wild ideas of
mine. Maybe they aren't any good. But
the idea is that the more they discover
you have the more they will deduct
from your monthly allowance and you
need a few things in your home, and
maybe you can get them with your Insurance.
Our love to you all and God
bless & comfort you all.

Cool temps hamper Dakota bees' honey production
BRUCE, S.D. — A month-long string of cooler temperatures in the Dakotas this summer has honey producers anticipating a drop in the states' honey crops.
North Dakota and South Dakota are the nation's top two honey producing states, with North Dakota churning out 34 million pounds in 2012 and South Dakota producing 17 million pounds.
Experts say those numbers likely will be down for 2013.
South Dakota state apiarist Bob Reiners says the bulk of the state's honey crop likely was made by bees in the early part of the summer before temperatures cooled.
Bonnie Woodworth of the North Dakota Beekeepers Association says conditions have been good in the western and northern parts of the state. But eastern North Dakota has suffered from a lack of forage and warmth.

In 1960, a young inspector for the Food and Drug Administration faced down a powerful drug company by rejecting its application to sell a morning-sickness drug in the United States.
The company, Richardson-Merrell, griped about her repeated demands for more safety data. They complained to her superiors, branding her as a nitpicker. But she stood firm.
The drug in question was thalidomide, and worldwide as many as 12,000 children were born with severe birth defects after their mothers used it. In the U.S., where Frances Oldham Kelsey blocked Merrell from distributing the drug except to a few doctors for "experimental" trials, the toll was 17. Thanks to her, the FDA gained a reputation as a vigilant watchdog.
Today's FDA isn't that FDA.
Today's FDA just approved an application by the drug company Allergan to expand the target market of its Lap-Band weight-loss device potentially by tens of millions of patients. How much safety data did the FDA review before giving Allergan the green light? Mainly the results of one year of study of 149 patients, and partial data from a second year. Today's FDA evidently can be steamrollered.
Kelsey has said that she demanded more information from Merrell, thalidomide's U.S. manufacturer, because its history of conflicts with the agency made her suspicious. Is there any reason to mistrust Allergan? Let's look at the record.
In September, Allergan pleaded guilty to one criminal count and paid $600 million in fines and penalties to settle federal charges that it had illegally marketed its marquee product, Botox, for uses the FDA hadn't approved. The guilty plea was for "misbranding" Botox, a misdemeanor.
In accepting the plea bargain, the government charged that the company had made under-the-table payments to doctors who used Botox to treat unapproved conditions, created front groups and websites to push the broader uses of the drug while concealing Allergan's backing, and coached physicians to over-diagnose a condition for which Botox could be legally marketed so it could sell more product. Allergan says for the record that it doesn't believe there is merit to those allegations "factually or legally."
Allergan took these steps, the government contended, because the approved uses had meager sales potential. The most prevalent condition for which Botox treatment was approved, cervical dystonia, is a painful neck spasm that affects only about 27,000 people in the U.S. Allergan wanted doctors to prescribe Botox for headaches -- not an approved use, but a potentially huge market -- so it prodded them to diagnose their patients' headaches as symptoms of the very rare CD. (The use of Botox as a cosmetic wrinkle-remover wasn't at issue, but the typical injected dose for beauty treatment is tiny compared with that for a headache.)
Federal regulators were upset with Allergan because Botox derives from botulinum, one of the most toxic substances known to man. The high therapeutic doses, FDA officials say, increase the potential for the toxin to cause dangerous muscle weakness or paralysis.
Allergan's tactics worked fabulously. Between 1999 and 2006, the government says, Botox's headache sales grew by 1,407%. By 2007, total Botox sales exceeded $500 million. More than 70% of that was for unapproved uses.
This history didn't seem to enter into the FDA's review of Allergan's application to expand its marketing of the Lap-Band, a device that's surgically implanted around the stomach to suppress appetite. Up to now, the approved use has been for morbidly obese people who had failed to reduce with diet and exercise.
If you're 5 feet, 8 inches tall, you'd be eligible for the Lap-Band if you weighed 262, more than 100 pounds overweight, or 230 if you have an obesity-related condition such as diabetes. Under the newly approved standard, the latter figure drops to 197.
An FDA advisory panel, which gave preliminary approval to Allergan's application in December, wasn't entirely happy with the company's data supporting its safety and efficacy claims for the Lap-Band -- its own 149-patient study and six other studies, at least three of which were conducted by researchers with financial links to Allergan.
"I chastised Allergan for the cherry-picking they had done in the data," says John Kral, a member of the panel and a surgery professor at the State University of New York. The panel felt that a study of 149 patients wasn't good enough to establish the device's safety and efficacy over the long haul. Kral says he and the rest of the panel majority favored approval of Allergan's application even so, because they felt that the Lap-Band's benefits outweighed the risks.
Others, such as Diana Zuckerman, head of the National Research Center for Women and Families and a longtime critic of the FDA, noticed that the panel seemed to give short shrift to numerous studies showing that weight loss results decline and side-effects increase with gastric bands over time. Zuckerman also points out that Allergan's study specifically excluded patients with a family history of autoimmune disease, even though that's a high-risk population for silicone implants like its Lap-Band.
In granting Allergan final approval for wider marketing of the Lap-Band, the FDA followed the advisory panel's recommendation that the company develop more long-term data -- but allowed it to step up the marketing of the Lap-Band now. What if the data show that the device becomes dangerous over time? By then hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more patients will be affected. "The time to ask for better research is before you say yes," Zuckerman says.
Nor does the FDA action take into account the overheated marketing that already surrounds the Lap-Band, such as the 1-800-GET-THIN billboards promoting this surgery. (Just the other day, two published studies showed that more traditional weight-loss surgeries were more effective and no riskier than the band.) Do you think the GET-THIN gang might exploit the FDA approval to push their service even harder? My Magic 8-ball answers: "Signs point to yes."
Two weeks after Allergan pleaded out its criminal case, the FDA had a big ceremony honoring the now 96-year-old Kelsey. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg pledged "to continue your great work here at the FDA."
If only we could count on that.
In 1960, a young inspector for the Food and Drug Administration faced down a powerful drug company by rejecting its application to sell a morning-sickness drug in the United States.

MAX10Bodyshaping needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 180 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
MAX10 Bodyshaping
MAX10 Bodyshaping is a 10 week program that combines kick boxing and other martial arts with the latest fast passed exercises using resistance bands, medicine balls and steppers to create the ultimate toning and weight loss program. MAX10 is the complete package and includes the MAX10 nutrition education and other weight loss and toning guidance in the MAX10 Bodyshaping Manual. Other materials include the MAX10 Nutrition Tracking Journal, boxing gloves and wraps. The class uses free standing punching bags for the kickboxing. There is an instructor and experienced members who coach teams of about 5-6 per class. They work out and support each other. There is both techno and rock played during classes.
Our target audience is professional men, women, and their spouses who join recreation centers, gyms and participate in other weight loss programs. Late 20s to early 40s in age. This group needs structure to work out but enjoys being part of the cutting edge. They are not afraid to commit money to a program but want to see fast results. They live in suburban mid-western neighborhoods and mostly work white color jobs. Most have children or are just married. The audience is mature but energetic and into the latest fitness culture. They have been through local gyms and are now choosing between our program and the other latest programs like P90X, and Less Mills classed like Body Attack. Most are very exited about kicking and hitting bags.
The logo must be aggressive but professional. It must reflect the nature of martial arts and the personal success of achieving fitness goals. MAX10 is a registered trade mark.
In MAX10 Bodyshaping the MAX10 should stand out the most. Bodyshaping is to MAX10 what the word wireless is to Verizon Wireless. The focus should be on the branding of MAX10 but for necessary descriptive reasons Bodyshaping as one word with the B in caps is needed.
Something with a military feel seems to reflect the intensity of the program. So I am looking for military green and like a mustard yellow.
This brochure reflects pretty well our program. http://www.rockwellcollinsreccenter…202009.pdf
Our site might be of use too. http://www.MAX10.net
If you could find some magic way to mege the professionalism of Les Mills and the hotness of Affliction then that would be along the lines of what I am looking for. http://www.afflictionclothingstore.…DQodVBYfyw Her is Les Mills: http://www.lesmills.com/midwest/en/…ogram.aspx
The wining design must be able to provide me with art that includes a version of the logo with the words "Bodyshaping" and a version without. The art should be the same, just take "Bodyshaping" out. I need to be able to offer this explanation of the program in the name, in new markets, and strip it in established ones. If this does not make sense let me know.
I need the logo to be original, no licensed fonts or images. I also need it in vector, tiff, bpm, and I would like it in a psd file too. Basically, as many formats as I can get. We will be holding a contest for stationary, and a publisher template later. Then a web site. So keep an eye out for that.

NY Times Takes Up The Case Of Sherlock Holmes And The Lost Public Domain... But Gets It Wrong
from the we're-missing-some-clues-here dept
While the article does detail the amazingly convoluted history over who owned the copyrights (and the various disputes associated with those rights), it gets a bunch of things wrong and (oddly) never seems to talk to any copyright lawyers. While the article does note that Holmes is public domain in the UK, it makes a blanket statement that Holmes is still covered by copyright in the US:
Mr. Lellenberg said that Sherlock Holmes remains under copyright protection in the United States through 2023, and that any new properties involving the detective "definitely should" be licensed by the Conan Doyle estate.Lellenberg would say that, because Lellenberg is the literary agent for the Arthur Conan Doyle estate, and wants you to believe that. But, as we discussed last time, it's not true. All of the Sherlock Holmes books except one have now entered the public domain. And, yes, this creates quite a mess. But, in theory, anyone who created a work based solely on the public domain works, and which is not based on or derived from that last work, should, in fact, be legit without a license. That doesn't mean that Lellenberg (or some of the others who claim rights over Holmes) wouldn't sue, but it's not correct to claim that Holmes is still completely covered by copyright. The fact that the vast majority of his books are very much in the public domain is a rather important fact -- and totally ignored by the NY Times article.

Mumbai: Actor Vivek Oberoi, who has been a part of many social causes, believes that cynicism has become a part of everybody`s life today.
"It (book) addresses the cynicism, unfortunately which is growing so fast, whether it`s the kids today, whether its our television hosts, whether its on news channels, whether it`s celebrities, whether it`s radio jockeys - everybody has a slice of cynicism in their life today," the 36-year-old said here Friday at the launch of book `Pride Of Lions`.
The book has been written by Captain Vinod Shankar Nair and talks about the life of Indian soldiers.
"We have lost the optimistic view, we need a ray of hope. We need something pure, we need something unselfish, courageous, brave to inspire us all, to look up, to look forward, to look with hope," he added.

Pie of the Vine Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #9
Grape pie! Jennifer invented this pie to answer a challenge, and she came up with an original recipe that not only uses grapes but also has no sugar. We're impressed. Click through to check out Jennifer's story on the origin of her pie, along with more photos of the process.
Where is this recipe from? This recipe is completely home grown. I work in an office in downtown Boston where we receive weekly shipments of fruit. Often, this fruit includes grapes.
I was talking with a coworker about baking one day when we received a shipment of grapes, and she challenged me to try and create a grape pie.
There are some grape pie recipes out there that use concord grapes, but those have tougher skins and seeds, which make them pretty time consuming and frustrating to bake with.
I bought a bag of grapes and the other necessities and went to work. The next day, I was the most popular person in my department as people continued to come to my desk to try the new grape pie. Or, as I like to call it "Pie of the Vine".
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? The greatest thing about this recipe is 1: it's original and 2: I don't use any sugar at all. The grapes have a natural sugar in them that comes out as you cook the filling before placing it into the pie crust. You also don't have to worry about seeds and the skins become unnoticeable, so you don't have to remove them.
The pie tastes like a naturally sweet version of apple pie with a little extra something delicious :). It's original, inspired, and very quick and easy to make! Aside from the grapes, all of the other ingredients are pretty much guaranteed to be in your kitchen already!
Pie of the Vine
2 pounds Seedless Red Grapes
2 TBSP Blue Bonnet (Butter-Oil Spread, stick form)
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 1/2 TBSP Corn Starch
1/8 tsp Salt
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2/3-1 stick Butter
3 TBSP cold water
Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the wire rack placed in the middle.
For the crust: The ingredients above account for two pie crusts. I chose to make a lattice top for my pie – you could also do a full crust topped pie. I also made each crust separately to make sure the consistency is correct. Below is how I made each of the two pie crusts used.
Cut 2 TBSP Blue Bonnet into small cubes. Combine with 1 cup Flour with Blue Bonnet by pinching the pieces of butter into the flour. Add the water 1 TBSP at a time until you get a pie dough consistency. Use up to 3 TBSP of water per pie crust.
Create a ball out of each combined pie crust and place in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow to cool.
When cool, roll out each ball individually between two pieces of waxed paper.
Place back into the fridge for 20-30 minutes until the rolled out dough sets. Take one rolled out dough piece and remove one side of the waxed paper. Flip onto the pie tin. Remove other side of waxed paper & fit the dough into the pie crust. Keep the second piece of pie dough in the fridge.
For the Filling: Cut the grapes in half and place into medium sauce pan over medium heat.
Allow to cook until grapes are hot and simmering. Use a colander to drain the juices out of your hot grapes. Place the grapes back into the sauce pan, over medium heat.
Cut 2 TBSP Blue Bonnet and mix into grapes. Add salt and cinnamon and combine mixture entirely. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool 5 minutes.
When cool, scoop all filling into the pie tin containing one of the pie crusts. Remove second pie crust from the fridge and remove one of the pieces of waxed paper. Replace waxed paper and flip the crust. Remove other waxed paper (by doing this, you're loosening the dough for easier use). Cut the dough the long way into thin, 1/4-1/2 inch strips to use to make lattice.
Bake pie for 30 minutes at 425 degrees, turning 1/2 way through (ovens may vary…bake until crust is light brown). Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve with low-fat vanilla ice cream (or the ice cream of your choice) and enjoy!

After the Buzzer: Opening Night DoldrumsPosted by rtmsf on November 11th, 2008
Hello again, everyone. For those of you who might be new to the site this season, we want to introduce you to a feature that we try to run most nights during the season. We like to call this feature After the Buzzer (ATB) because it'll be posted well after the witching hour in the East for your first perusal the next morning (make RTC your home page! you won't be disappointed…). The format will change depending on what happened that night, but we'll typically try to give some brief wrapups of the night's biggest games and stories of interest with some commentary thrown in. If we're feeling particularly frisky, we may also take a look ahead to the next night's games. Note that we said most nights; there will inevitably be nights where the games that night were simply unwatchable, or we're down at the Savoy because some Duke scrub hit a late three to cover the spread, or our better half threw the tv and/or computer out the window. In any case, like Olbermann and O'Reilly, we'll be there as many nights as we can muster, annoying the hell out of you with our smug banter.
Game of the Night. There was no Game of the Night because there really is no "Opening Night," and this really irritates us. Seriously, how stupid is the NCAA when it comes to how it starts the season? MLB, the NFL, the NBA and even NCAA football have an opening day/night with significant fanfare – it's something that fans and the media alike can get excited about. Instead of a showcase night of several good 'opening' games, we get Duke vs. Presbyterian on ESPNU (was Methodist unavailable? how about Baptist?). Instead of Vitale/Bilas/Digger, we get the painfully monotonous Beth Mowins. Instead of college basketball nation all at once reaching an orgasmic climax because hoops is finally back in action, we get a game that is hidden away on the least-watched channel in the ESPN suite of programming. It's ridiculous. We'll say that ESPN is at least thinking the right way with its 24 hour bonanza of coverage next week (Nov. 18), but the NCAA and ESPN need to work a deal out next year so that this happens on a true "opening night."
Other Games. The only games tonight were in the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament in the Durham, NC, regional. The first game wasn't televised, but Georgia Southern pulled off a mild upset (6-pt dog) in defeating CUSA's Houston Cougars 65-63. Sleeper schmeeper. Trumaine Pearson led GSU with 19/11, as the Eagles withstood a late three attempt that was off the mark. Georgia Southern will now play host Duke, as the Devils got out to a large halftime lead against Presbyterian (24 pts) before mostly coasting in the second stanza to win 80-49. We actually saw most of this game – here are some quick thoughts.
Presbyterian is nicknamed the Blue Hose – someone needs to explain this to us.
Coach K wasn't very happy with his team's performance, and with good reason. The Devils committed 21 turnovers and only shot 3-11 (27%) from long range.
Kyle Singler (19/10) and Nolan Smith (15/3 stls) looked solid, if not spectacular, but what was alarmingly apparent was how Coach K's recruiting in recent years has led to lineups in the Duke lineup that look way too much like the SEC and ACC in the mid-50s. A Duke 'whiteout' will not be an uncommon occurrence again this year.
Time and time again the Presbyterian offense was able dribble penetrate into the paint for decent looks at the rim. They rarely finished these forays because they were often too small and intimidated by the Duke 'bigs,' but this is going to be a serious problem again for the Devils this year. Incumbent center Brian Zoubek fouled out in seven minutes of play. Against. Presbyterian. The other option, freshman 6'10 F/C Miles Plumlee had 0/2 in thirteen minutes. Why can't Coach K get big man studs anymore?
ESPN isn't allowing embedded video on this game yet, so here is the link to the highlights.
On Tap Tuesday (all times EST). Several more CvC games, but only a few of interest.
- Northeastern (-6) v. IUPUI – 4pm
- Michigan v. Michigan Tech (ESPNU) – 7pm
- Duke (-25) v. Georgia Southern (ESPNU) – 9pm

Did you mean to post a link to an article or video or something?
...while my friends are all in the other line and asking, 'why didn't you tell us?' "
What a silly idea.
Would she have listened if you told her that you'd heard all that crap before, and didn't believe it? Or couldn't believe it? Most atheists I know are former xians, or xian wannabes, but they just could not believe the stories, prophecies, rules, were anything but man-made folklore invented to control primitive tribes.
If xians keep bugging you about "salvation," heaven or hell, just say, "Evidence, please." The buybull is not evidence. Faith/belief is not evidence. That usually shuts them up. At least long enough for you to walk away from them.
For instance, some of the most expert archaologists in the world have been digging around in the Sinai Peninsula for generations, looking for what should be there if there had been a mass exodus of Israelites from Egypt some 3000+ years ago. They have found Jack Schidt. Nothing. Moses is a myth.
It's all myths.
Or...you could just say that their heaven sounds so boring that you'd rather fly to Oz in a tornado.
Some people need to believe in imaginary friends...it's all they have to hang onto. My sister is like that, and she's a Jehovah's Witless, but she has Asperger's Syndrome and can't handle the real world. Never could. We have an agreement, we don't try to change each other's minds.
Religion is for people who can't handle reality. Or for people who need the appearance of faith for social or political reasons. I often wonder how many businessmen and politicians are closeted atheists, or doubters. Rep. Pete Stark (D-Cal.) is the only one I know of who has had the courage to come out.
I agree, silence does not invite people to think, it implies agreement with whatever statement, however ludicrous. Speaking up means taking a risk of losing family and friends and business and whatever. But what price do we pay by remaining silent? I am all in favor of responding clearly, precisely, specifically, confidently, competently to nonsense. So, you lose a family member, friend or business opportunity. It is what it is. Deal with it.
If I am on neutral territory, I will usually say, "I am opposed to the Born Again Christian Movement and consider it to be as harmful as heroine or coccaine."
Notice that I did not say I believe or do not believe anything, as that would make be a professor of belief systems just like them.
But sometimes it is necessary to be on turf they have claimed. It isn't really their turf, but they are claiming it.
At some point I do plan to take offensive actions to try and drive some of them out of public places. But for right now there situations where I have to coexist with them. So the line is, "Sorry, but I keep my affairs private."
This mostly works, except that in engenders responses like, "Well yes I guess we all have skeletons in our closets" or "I know that we all have done things we regret" so they are going on the sinfuness angle. So I again respond, "I have not said anything about any skeletons in any closets or any regrets."
What I would prefere to be able to state is what is true, that I am pursuing a type of a war, but that that has to be kept private at the present.
I like your strategy.
I forgot to mention that once I changed the words to a song and then practiced singing it. I then baited a preacher at an outdoor public event and then sang it in mock of him.
I haven't done it yet, but there is a group, or at least a preacher, that I am considering trying to get kicked out of some municipal parks.
Dealing with the Born Agains, it really does so often come down to property rights. That is, people can think what they think. But what they can do in a given place comes down to who controls that place.
In America religion itself is the Sacred Cow. I have long advocated for nullifying this protected status.
For the Evangelicals, someone who refuses to affirm, "I am a Christian" is pretty much damned. So my bold assertion of privacy is a big challenge to them. If they allow it, then their entire world view is turned askew.
With the above mentioned preacher I then started bleating at him like a sheep. He finally turned around and said, "You are a goat!"
I replied, "I am a Christian, I am a Christian, I am a Christian, that is what the sheep are saying."
I like the idea of writing a song or some way to remember to not get caught in the trap of making a profession of belief.
"I opposed ... " make a statement of fact
"i disagree ... "
"I do not experience the need for ... "
"I do not discuss private matters ... "
"I oppose all Christian So-ol-diers;
They're arrogant and rude.
They shove their creed in my face,
And aggravate my mood."
Or something like that....
Bravo sk8eycat. I am with you.
When a couple came to my door recently I told them I am an atheist.
He replied, "No you aren't!"
What!!!! You know what I think!!!!!??? The scum bag.
That's true Joan.
Greg, I agree.
I think reading, and understanding, the entire buybull the way you would read any other book has created more atheists than it has believers. That's what did it for me, and many other people that I know. It's also the heart of Julia Sweeney's one-woman play, "Letting Go of God."
You can't force belief; I know. I tried, and there was nothing in there worth believing IN. That's what I tell persistant proselytizers: "I tried for more than 20 years, and I can't."
If they still persist, I pretend I'm going to take all my clothes off. I'm 72 years old, and dreadfully out of shape...

Billy Ray Cyrus Duets 'Hillbilly Heart' With Kathie Lee on 'Today'
For the better part of last week, the week leading up to the ACM Awards, country stars visited the 'Today' show to try their hand at co-hosting the fourth hour with Hoda Kotb while Kathie Lee Gifford was away. Then, this week, Kotb had her chance to get away while Gifford found some co-hosts of her own. One guest who tried his hand as a co-host Wednesday and Thursday of this week (April 4 and 5) was Billy Ray Cyrus.
Wednesday, the singer-songwriter joined Gifford on the show and let fans into the process of writing a song. The two sang part of their song on the show and invited Facebook fans to help finish the lyrics. Then, on Thursday Cyrus premiered two of his songs from his upcoming record 'Hillbilly Heart,' which is also the title of his memoir, set to hit stores October 9. Additionally, he performed his forthcoming song 'Hope Is Just Ahead.'
Taking the 'Today' stage for his premiere of 'Hillbilly Heart,' Cyrus brought his gravelly rockabilly voice to the song, and then — oh wait, what's that? — Gifford approached with a mic and actually sang the song with him, though she admitted to not knowing any of the lyrics. Hey, Cyrus is a musician who tried his hand at hosting, so why shouldn't the host try her hand at singing?
It's obvious that Gifford has some musical dexterity, regardless of whether or not she knew the words to the song about driving fast in trucks and "keeping it country." The 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer is writing his book about his childhood in Flatwoods, Ky. and his coming of age as a musician.

An English teacher working privates, running around town 6 days a week for 12-14 hours is making 4.0-5.0 million; I've known more than a few teachers who fall into that category. Anyone making more than that is teaching at a hogwon which he/ she has gone in on, or owns out right. The reality is that the average salary of a teacher working at a hogwon, or university is 2.0-2.2 million, and if you include the apartment it pushes it to the 3.0 million. OK, some teachers under contract are also doing privates, so they might fall into the high 3.0 million, mid 4.0 million. So,unless some teachers are running all over town, with no social life, or own, or partly a hogwon, I do not see any teacher making anything over 4.0 million.

I'm working on a DVD teaching series I plan to market through a Korean friend (and possibly hire some Koreans to sell on the subway). Total cost of production to me, including marketing costs, is 2,000 won per DVD. Sale price on subway will be 10,000 won (or a little less if sales don't go). If I sold just 10 per day at 10,000 won, I'd net 80,000 a day. Take that times five days a week, times four weeks a month, and that's another 1.6 million a month. Add that to the 4 million + I make currently teaching, and it only goes up from there. And I do hope to sell more than 10 DVDs a day.

For example, a 2-year lease agreement at $5,000/month would require $120,000 up front payment. No money is returned to the tenant at the end of the lease term. Key Money Deposit Plus Monthly Payments (wolsei in Korean) The key money is a security deposit in the amount of 10 to 20 times the monthly payment. The larger the key money deposit, the lower the monthly payment. Usually 10% of the key money is paid when the contract is signed. And the key money balance plus one month's rental is due when the tenant moves in. The key money deposit is returned to the tenant when the lease period expires. Key Money Deposit Only (jeonsei in Korean) Key money is required in the amount of approximately 40% to 60% of the property value to be held as security for the entire duration of the lease. The entire key money amount will be returned to the tenant upon expiration of the lease. Usually 10% of the total key money is due when the contract is signed. The balance is due when the tenant moves into the premises. The tenant is responsible for all maintenance and utilities unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement. The key money will not be returned prior to the expiration of the lease agreement until a new tenant signs a new lease agreement replacing the current one.

For a 25-pyong (one pyong equals 3.3 square meters) apartment in Seoul, foreign residents are paying as much as two million won ($1,600) in monthly rent while the same apartment may go for only 500,000 won for Koreans.

Tell a Korean friend the type of flat you want. Your friend then goes to the real estate agency in the area you want and acts as someone looking for a flat. Your friend will be told what the key money/ rent is and gets back to you. Now, if information in hand you go to the same agency and see if the you are told the same thing. Another way is to just look at the ads on the windows of agencies in the area you want to live in, and you will get an idea of the rents. Having said all that, I am still of the mind set that most owners are honest and that a few bad apples make the rest of them look bad; I am looking for a place of my own and, having done my research, have not run into anybody who was trying to rip me off.

text: High-Yield Wheat: Help Yield Potential Become Reality March 7, 2014 08:48 PM Tweet Look closely and you'll see a small area of wheat that is thriving compared with the surrounding plants. Also, note the yellow regions in the background, a visual symptom of sulphur deficiency on the eroded hillsides. © Phil Needham TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Phil Needham Farm Journal Columnist Email Farmers often ask me what they can do to increase their yields and profits, often expecting a "silver bullet" answer. In most examples, though, it's a number of weak links in the system that need to be strengthened to increase yields. Growing conditions and available moisture obviously affect yield, but it all starts with varieties that have the genetic potential to succeed in your area. Then the seeding equipment needs to position every seed at a consistent depth to help achieve uniform emergence. The next step, and sometimes the most important, is building a sound fertility package capable of creating high yields, which includes banding at least some of the nutrients in the row at seeding time. The most important nutrient to band is phosphorus, especially in no-till systems and soils with lower soil phosphorus level soils or high or low pH. There seems to be an increasing gap between average yields and true yield potential, even in a given set of environmental conditions. This is often confirmed with yield maps generated from calibrated yield monitors. For example, it's not uncommon to see regions within a field that yield two to three times more or less than the overall average. The limiting factor can range from soil type and soil moisture retention to stand uniformity, especially when no-tilling into heavy residue, and fertility issues such as high or low soil pH levels. Building a sound and balanced fertility plan that incorporates as much field information as possible boosts yields and profits, even when commodity prices are lower. Liebig's Law of the Minimum states that crop yields are proportional to the most limiting nutrient. If the deficient nutrient is supplied and taken up by the crop, yields will be improved, but only to the point at which another nutrient becomes limiting. Strike a balance. Fertilizer requirements obviously vary on a field-by-field or region-by-region basis, so I never recommend the same fertilizer plan across fields. To aid in the fertilizer application decision, we pull soil samples. Keep in mind: To maximize profits, it often pays to address the lowest fertility regions first, followed by those with higher levels. The image of a leaking barrel on the next page represents Liebig's Law of the Minimum. It states that crop yields are proportional to the most limiting nutrient. If the deficient nutrient is supplied and taken up by the crop, yields will be improved, but only to the point at which another nutrient becomes limiting. It's also important to add that when a farmer transitions to a no-till system, the soils will likely be cooler early in the spring, which can have a negative impact on nutrient availability. For example, nutrients such as phosphorus are not as available to the growing crop at cooler soil temperatures, compared with later in the season when the soils are warmer. So just because a soil test suggests phosphorus levels are adequate for maximum yields, the timing of the availability is often an issue and the weak link in the system. Sometimes these nutrient deficiencies only occur in small regions of the field, perhaps in sandy or sandy loam soils, which struggle to hold on to soil-mobile nutrients such as nitrogen, sulphur and boron. In these examples, applying fertilizer using variable-rate technology is often the best way to address specific deficiencies. Variations in fertility also occur at different elevations, which can influence soil pH. Sampling these areas separately and creating zone maps for fertilizer application can often pay dividends. Be sure to record the specific soil sample locations using differential GPS so you can return to the same areas to track how the nutrient levels change over time. Even with a sound soil-sampling system, nutrient deficiencies within the sampling area can still occur. In this case, I prefer to pull both soil tests and tissue tests to help isolate nutrient deficiencies in growing crops. While a soil test might show adequate or higher fertility levels, certain areas of the field might not be able to access all of these nutrients because of soil pH, dry soils, wet soils or soil compaction. Nutrient uptake might also be influenced by fertilizer imbalances; for example, high levels of phosphorus can reduce zinc availability. By contrast, a good supply of plant-available nitrogen can improve phosphorus, boron and zinc uptake. This field represents what every farmer wants to see—excellent plant health coupled with uniform head populations. Advanced plant testing. When it comes to tissue sampling, I recommend taking samples two to three weeks after good spring growth resumes in winter wheat and when plants reach the 4th or 5th leaf stage in spring wheat. When sampling at early stages, I collect at least ½ pint of clean plant tissue, cut off level with the soil surface. Be sure to not get any soil on the samples as this contamination can significantly influence sample results. If sampling later in the season, at the fully emerged flag leaf stage, for example, I prefer to collect just the flag leaves because taking whole plants at this stage can produce misleading results. For maximum accuracy, collect tissue samples when the plants are actively growing and try to avoid pulling samples following a period of dull, cloudy days because the results can often be misleading. Also, avoid any plants that have been damaged by wheel tracks, disease or recently sprayed with a herbicide. Once the samples are taken, be sure to next-day ship them to a quality lab to ensure the samples arrive fresh. Find a lab that can return the results by fax or email within 24 to 48 hours after receiving the samples. Fast turnaround is essential because if significant deficiencies are found, they need to be promptly addressed to minimize yield losses. If the samples have to be stored overnight, make sure they are refrigerated before shipping them to the lab. I often use tissue sampling to compare areas of a field that have good growth and plant health against areas that have poorer growth and plant health. Sometimes these areas might be only a few feet apart. When you do receive the results, remember that they are a snapshot in time—specific to that area of the field and the day the samples were collected. Compare the results to published critical concentration levels for your area. If the samples are pulled early in the spring and nutrient deficiencies are found, then corrective measures must be taken to protect yield. A global angle helps agronomist Phil Needham teach farmers how to incorporate a practical yet intensive wheat management system.

Applications are now being accepted for an opening day lottery dove hunt on the Bayou Pierre Wildlife Management Area (WMA) the first Saturday of the September 2006 dove season.
The opening day hunt is limited to 75 hunters who are selected by a random drawing. Dove hunters wanting to apply for the drawing can obtain an application from any Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries regional office or Web site at www.wlf.louisiana.gov [3].
Hunters may apply individually or as a group with no more than five applications per group. Group applications should be stapled together and will be drawn as a group.
A $5 non-refundable administrative fee will be charged for each applicant regardless of age. Applications must be accompanied by a check or money order made payable to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. All applications must be returned to the address listed on the application by July 7, 2006. Successful applicants will be notified by mail.
Last year's lottery hunters enjoyed a successful hunt on a cooler than normal early September afternoon as 68 of the 75 hunters selected in the 2005 lottery participated. A total of 545 doves were harvested with 22 hunters bagging a limit on the opening day lottery hunt.
After the opening day lottery hunt, Bayou Pierre WMA is open to all hunters wanting to participate in the September hunting tradition. The first three days of the 2005 dove season on Bayou Pierre WMA resulted in hunters putting in 135 hunting efforts and bagging 647 doves and 24 pigeons which was an increase from the 576 doves harvested during the first three days of the 2004 season.
Don Carpenter, Bayou Pierre WMA supervisor in a recent report on the condition of the dove fields commented: "The spring planted fields are developing according to plans. The winter wheat fields are the best ever with the wheat maturing earlier than past years. Mowed strips in the fields are already attracting resident doves."
Bayou Pierre WMA is located in Red River and Desoto parishes approximately 20 miles south of Shreveport. The WMA encompasses 2,212 acres with approximately 100 acres managed for doves. Applications can be obtained by going to www.wlf.louisiana.gov [3], under the "Hunting-WMAs/Refuges-Lottery Hunts" drop down menu. For additional information contact Steve Hebert at (318) 371-3050 or email@example.com [4].

DRAMMEN, Norway (March 7) - Kikkan Randall (Anchorage) put the exclamation mark on a day of historic benchmarks for the U.S. Ski Team, clinching the FIS Cross Country World Cup sprint title while finishing 11th in a classic sprint in Drammen. Randall now has an insurmountable lead going into the season sprint finale next week in Stockholm. It's the first U.S. World Cup title since Bill Koch won the overall in 1982. Teammate Sadie Bjornsen (Winthrop, WA) qualified 16th and finished 27th for her first career World Cup points. Andy Newell (Shaftsbury, VT) was sixth for the men with Simi Hamilton (Aspen, CO) a career best seventh. The tour now heads to nearby Oslo for the Holmenkollen Ski Festival.
Kikkan Randall
The sprint overall World Cup was my goal and focus all season. It's been a long season, a lot of racing and it's been an exciting competition to the end. But I am happy to finally secure it now. We have had an incredible team this year - coaches, staff and athletes during the entire season - and it's definitively a team effort to win the globe.
This year I raced more races and was more consistently in the top 10. It took some victories as well as scoring points in every race. It's definitely more grueling chasing all the races and racing all the heats in addition to all the distance races, but it was worth it!
I really wanted to bring my classic sprinting up to the same level as my skate sprinting so I put some more emphasis in my training on double-poling and classic specific intervals. But I think just the general increase in my capacity and fitness this year is also really helping me.
Today I was hoping to make it to the final. My finish is really strong at the moment and I had a good feeling today. I was excited to go to the final but unfortunately I had some bad luck and broke my binding. It wasn't the end result I wanted but I'm still happy.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming races. This is the time of the year when the training is done and now it's time to use what is left in the tank. My plan is to race all the remaining World Cup events and I'm actually going to stay in Scandinavia an extra week and do some fun invitational sprints before I head over to Vermont for the last U.S. races.
It's been really important to have a great team around me this season. Spending the whole winter in Europe, away from home has been challenging at times. But the girls have helped me keep it fun and positive and it's been great to be able to celebrate some of their achievements as well. I also have to credit the guys on our team and, of course, our staff. Everybody has worked incredibly hard and been upbeat through all the highs and lows. My team is my family on the road.
Chris Grover, Cross Country Head Coach
It was a great day for us. To have three athletes in the top 11 in any World Cup, let alone a sprint as tough as Drammen, was very gratifying.
Kikkan looked incredible today. She appeared to be on her way to the final when she got tangled up and broke her binding. The fact that she has won the sprint Globe has not quite sunk in yet.
We had great skis all day. It was challenging to find a wax with great kick and glide. The snow was quite saturated and new snow mixed with rain was a falling all day. Newell decided to double pole the qualifier since classic skiing didn't feel fast enough at first, but he switched to classic gear for the rounds. Everyone else skied on classic gear all day.
Drammen has been a great city sprint for Andy. He really knows how to make moves in the right places in order to pass other skiers. He knows when to relax and when to make a move happen. He was on the podium last time we raced the city sprint in Drammen (2010) so he knows how to get to the final.
It was clearly a breakthrough day for Simi. His best classic sprint result yet. He had a rough start to the year with illness and a lot of near misses in sprint qualification, so it feels really good to see him coming into form now. He was very close to being at lucky loser and going through to the final. He has all of the right skills to be a start in the sport.
Also a breakthrough day for Sadie. Really cool to finally see her in the points. Of course she had some bad luck getting tangled up in her quarterfinal, but she skied really well for her first ever Drammen city sprint, a course that normally takes a year or two to figure out how to qualify at. Sadie is classic skiing so well right now. We are excited to see what she can do at Holmenkollen on Sunday.
We had five different women score World Cup sprint points this season. Last year we had one. We are so proud of all of these athletes for their tenacity and hard work. It is really paying off right now.

Casual dining franchise also takes home first place award for its Triple Atomic wing sauce
The award-winning casual-dining franchise Quaker Steak & Lube took the coveted Festival Favorite award, an honor voted on by fans, at the 2013 National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo. This marks the second year in a row that The Lube has been named Festival Favorite, and the third time overall.
In addition, Quaker Steak & Lube was also recognized for its Triple Atomic wing sauce, winning first-place in the Traditional Extra-Hot sauce category.
"We are thrilled to be named the Festival Favorite once again," said John Longstreet, CEO of Quaker Steak & Lube. "We take great pride and passion in our signature sauces, and winning this award for consecutive years truly proves that we are 'Best Wings USA.' "
The National Buffalo Wing Festival is a two-day event that takes place annually during Labor Day weekend at Coca-Cola Field. This year, it took place on Saturday, Aug. 31, and Sunday, Sept. 1. Each year at the National Buffalo Wing Festival, The Lube enters its sauces into three of the seven allotted categories. A panel of judges then decides which restaurants have the best sauce based on a blind taste test.
"We want to thank all of Lube nation, and our fans at this year's festival, for their support and excitement of this great award," Longstreet ADDED. "We can't wait for 2014."
The compelling décor, including race cars suspended from the ceilings, motorcycles, Corvettes and gas station memorabilia, combined with its "craveable" food and "SuperCharged" events, has created a dedicated following for The Lube for more than 38 years. The company experienced significant growth in 2012 with 11 restaurant openings, a 22 percent increase from the previous year, and a 13 percent increase in system-wide revenues. The company has nearly 60 locations across 18 states and Canada.

How You Feel About Rorschach Tests On Wikipedia Says A Lot About You
from the meta-meta-rorschach-test dept
But, much more bizarre is the claim by the German publisher of Rorschach's book, Hogrefe & Huber Publishing, that it's likely planning legal action:
We are assessing legal steps against Wikimedia.... It is therefore unbelievably reckless and even cynical of Wikipedia to on one hand point out the concerns and dangers voiced by recognized scientists and important professional associations and on the other hand -- in the same article -- publish the test material along with supposedly 'expected responses.'It's pretty difficult to see any leg to stand on. The content is clearly in the public domain. And, on top of that, the issue shouldn't be with Wikimedia, but the guy who uploaded the images. Also, most of that statement from the publishing company doesn't make much sense. It's not cynical to both post the images and the discussion about the concerns. It's actually quite logical and reasonable.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Thu Jun 6 2002
Photograph by David Yellen
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>0/5
"We played a show at Mercury Lounge in November," says Nick Zinner, guitarist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. "The next day, there were two messages in our e-mail box. One was from Jon Spencer, inviting us to tour Europe. The other was from Rolling Stone, saying they wanted to put us on their 'Ten Bands to Watch' list. Before I knew it, labels, lawyers and accountants kept calling. I had to unplug my phone."
Somehow, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs—who formed a year and a half ago and have yet to complete their full-length debut (it should be out early next year)—have been anointed the band of the moment. The Brooklyn trio is an unlikely pick for such a dubious distinction, and not only because of its greenness. The band's fidgety punk is artier than the music that typically inspires accountants to stalk guitar players, and little on its self-titled EP would tickle the ears of FM programmers.
No doubt, much of the attention is directed at Karen O, the triple Yeahs' charismatic singer. Onstage, she giggles and twists, showering herself with beer while belting throaty come-ons over Zinner's jerky guitar and Brian Chase's drumming. "I'm fine falling all over the place and letting everyone see my underwear," says the singer, who initially declined this interview out of "shyness." "The one thing that embarrasses the shit out of me is when my boobies pop out of my dress."
While some listeners may head to shows anticipating popping boobies, others are more concerned with the garments from which they escape. Perhaps the only indie rocker with a personal seamstress—designer Christian Joy—Karen comes across as something like Chloë Sevigny with a backing band. "The first dress Christian made me was really out there," she says. "The night of the show, I pled to the rock gods, 'Please let me live up to this dress!'"
If Karen is worried about being upstaged by a dress, one can only imagine how her bandmates feel. "You know," Zinner says, "I wouldn't want everybody to look at me onstage anyway."

The lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, said the Yankees and the commissioner, Bud Selig, were working together to sideline him from baseball and nullify his contract, under which he is still owed $86 million after this year.
Tacopina said baseball investigators were trying to ruin Rodriguez with accusations of doping based on the word of the operator of an anti-aging clinic in South Florida "who has no credibility."
He may have missed the part where all those other players accepted the punishments and basically gave Bosch all the credibility he needed.
He added: "The legacy of George Steinbrenner would be horrified. This is the New York Yankees. This isn't some thug-culture club."
Really? Is that the same Steinbrenner who once hired a PI to dig up dirt on one of his own players? The one who was banned from baseball?
The new lawyer is basically saying that MLB and the Yankees conspired to keep Arod off the field forever. The Yankees pushed him to play last year when he was injured, didn't let him play this year when he was healthy enough, and MLB tried to keep him off the field with the suspension.
To which Yankee president Randy Levine replied:
Levine said with Rodriguez's permission, the Yankees would release all of his medical records dating back to Rodriguez's first hip surgery -- March 2009 -- to refute Tacopina's contention that he was not told by the club Rodriguez was unfit to play during last October's playoffs.
"If he really believes that, he should file a grievance for the release of all his medical records," Levine said. "We're willing to release all of them. All he has to do is say yes and we'll release them all for everyone to see."
With one exception: "The only records we don't have are the ones of Alex's treatment by Dr. [Anthony] Galea. They were unauthorized by the club, but now that he's put his medical condition into question, he should put everything out there."
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, where a team so blatantly hates a player, the player's reps clearly say how awful the team is, and the player himself acts like everything is honky dory.
