Now where the hell do I begin here. First, let me take issue with your statement; "despite your promos every week". Just what exactly are you trying to suggest here? That I don't mean what I say each week? I say each week exactly what I mean, I speak my mind. And whether you like it or not, the EWNCW fans, who also, like me, speak their minds, agree with me.
My morals are simply to speak my mind and I do stick that hat Wells.
Next, selfish. Please explain to me what makes me selfish. I am taking on no less than 2 other people with my title on the line at In Violence We Trust. It was meant to be a 4 way, so that makes it even less selfish does it not?
If you want to think that this title has changed me, the go ahead. I don't have time to entertain delusional cretins such as yourself who brown nose the brass to get what they want, which is exactly how you gained your Evolution Championship. I worked for 2 whole years to earn my world championship. 2 years of my life I gave up and devoted to this company. I bent over backwards and back again, I've bled, I've broken bones, I've beaten the best to earn my title. While little pieces of trash such as yourself have just waltzed in here, brown nosed management expecting to be gifted everything in the world and have gotten it. And that's what makes me sick
It's people like you that drives me to keep fighting for what's right here, and I'm going to continue to do that whether you think I'm doing the right thing or not. bevause right now your opinion means less than nothing to me.
When you were the Evolution Champion I was proud of you, I even publicly championed you, something you've obviously forgotten about, but since losing that title, you've turned into a bitter old man.
And right now, it's you who's playing the Hulk Hogan in EWNCW, because it's you who's coming back in here and expecting to be silver spoon fed the world. Well guess what? You're not going to be getting it. You're going to have to earn it just like everybody else. If you don't like that, if you can't deal with having to do it that way, then fine, carry on acting the 'good guy' as you seem to think you are.
But know that in reality that you need to take a long hard look in the mirror, because I guarantee you that what you'll see is a man with not one but 2 faces.

Specifically, horrifying violence like the Newtown atrocity.
As I said in a previous post, the peak year for mass killings in the United States was 1929. Violent crime has actually decreased substantially in just the last five years. And yet, even with all that, we react in genuine–and maybe not so genuine–horror each time we hear about an episode of mass death.
Most people living in the 21st century recognize that crime can lead to violence on a large scale. When the local Latin Kings faction goes to war against their rival Folk Nation set in some South Side Chicago social dysfunction hell-hole, sane people will denounce the death and destruction that inevitably ensues. Yet, on an intellectual level, they'll understand why this sort of violence occurs. The massive revenue streams that come from drugs, gambling, prostitution and other criminal rackets aren't controlled with stern looks and strongly worded letters.
People tend to get why two gang cliques would fight and die to maintain possession of turf. People hate what criminals do to the innocent victims. They'll denounce the gangs that create mass death. But citizens also grasp the ugly reality that drives our modern crime wars.
In a way, there is a cold comfort to be found in processing out the cause-and-effect of most crimes. By doing that a person can figure out how to deal with the problem, at least on a personal level. They can shun places they know are high-crime areas. They can encourage friends and family to stay away from gangs. They can organize neighborhood watch programs. They can take any number of positive steps to avoid becoming a victim.
On the other hand, when a mass killing like the Newtown occurs, it is in every sense of the word irrational. There is no identifiable cause. As of this writing, nobody can discern why the Newtown monster committed this abhorrent act. He wasn't fighting to protect his turf. He wasn't avenging a fallen gang-banger in his clique. He wasn't even trying to intimidate a rival. So far as we can tell, the Sandy Hook shooting is truly a random act of violence. It's the kind of violence that could occur anywhere at anytime to anybody.
The human mind can't really comprehend the brand of death brought by the Newtown atrocity. It's almost impossible to deal with, because there is no understandable cause-and-effect to take solace in when an insane person commits mass murder for no reason. When something like this happens, it overwhelms rational thinking. Especially when it first occurs, it creates an immediate and powerful fear response.
A persons' reaction to something like Newtown is very different from his reaction to the news that two gangs smoking each other over prime crack-dealing real estate. The act of a madman cannot be handled in the same way that people deal with crook-land violence. There is no defense against arbitrary evil. This sickening truth, that at any moment a madman could be on a collision course with us or our loved ones, hangs over the Newtown massacre.
Worse, the fact that random violence is still a part of human existence shatters the patina of order that we create for ourselves. We delight int the routines we construct to give our lives purpose. The shooting in Newtown is a terrible reminder that evil can come barging into our lives unannounced, prepared to destroy everything.
SORTA RELATED: This is why I can almost forgive some of the egregious anti-gun idiocy going on these days. Guns can be scary for folks who have no experience with firearms. Even the weakest caliber weapon can be deadly, and can be dressed up to look even more menacing. Add a mass murderer to the equation and it's inevitable that people will have completely irrational thoughts. It's their way of coping with the terror of indiscriminate violence.
What I cannot excuse is the brain-dead hypocrisy of the American Left. These are the same people who were against a military response after the September 11th 2001 attacks. America was supposed to sit on it's hands and let the UN or the World Court or some other useless organization of feel-good do-nothings sue Osama bin Laden for wrongful death and for being a grouchy little meanie-head. Above all else, many elements of the Left wanted President Bush to chart a restrained course. In their view America had remain calm and not fly off the handle making rash decisions based on the raw emotions immediately after 9/11.
Yet, after the Sandy Hook shooting, what's been the nearly-united response from American liberalism?
Which quickly moved to…
Followed shortly thereafter by…
Note that it hasn't even been two weeks since the Newtown atrocity, and the country has been bombarded by a barrage of preachy moral attacks by liberals. They were picking targets to freeze, personalize and polarize almost as soon as the last shot was fired. This became a self-righteous partisan crusade within hours of the Sandy Hook shooting.
So much for the sane rational measured logical Left.

Last May, the Sherman Invitational served as a launching pad for Chase Seiffert toward a summer of unparalleled success on the golf course.
Starting Friday, it could serve as both an ending and a beginning in an altogether new sphere of competition.
Seiffert, a senior at Florida State, tees off as the defending champion in the 86th version of the 54-hole event at Panama Country Club.
Seiffert established a tournament-record total of 205 strokes to win by 10 shots over two-time Sherman winner Matt Johnson. Following his participation for FSU in the NCAA Division I national tournament, Seiffert then went on to sweep the state Amateur, Open and Match Play tournaments sponsored by the Florida State Golf Association.
The 22-year-old said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to encounter the pressure of defending his FSGA sweep.
"If I was staying amateur, but I plan on turning professional immediately following the (NCAA) national championships" starting May 28 in Alpharetta, Ga. "It seems like the right time. I'll be finished with school and my eligibility in college golf."
Seiffert said he is hoping to get some sponsor exemptions for PGA Tour or Nationwide Tour events. But all that is a month away. First, the Sherman. Then attempting to qualify for the U.S. Open at Camp Creek on Monday, followed by the NCAA South Regional in Tallahassee May 16 and 17.
He currently carries a stroke average a shade under 71 for six spring tournaments for FSU, including a second-place tie over the weekend in the Atlantic Coast Conference championships in New Loudon, N.C.
Those credentials and last year's dominance make Seiffert the early favorite for the Sherman, the longest continuing amateur golf tournament in the Southeast.
At least four other prior champions are returning for the Sherman. Mike Riley has won the event five times, and also augments the Championship Division with many of the players from his Lite Scratch Tour.
Two-time winner Johnson of Dothan, Ala., is back along with 2006 champion A.J. White and 2002 winner Jim Kemp of Pensacola.
Mike Brown returns to defend his title in the Senior Division (65-up) that continues to expand with every tournament.
In addition to his latest run of success, Seiffert feels as though his game is sharper than it was last year when he pulled away from the field with a final-round 65.
"I've improved on a lot of my weaknesses," he said. "My putting is a lot better than it was, and I'm dialed in on my irons and wedges. I really feel like I can hit it close."
Seiffert also is looking forward to taking a break from playing team golf.
"It's nice to get out and play as an individual," he said. "The team atmosphere is fun, but tournaments like the Sherman you play on your own schedule. You worry about yourself. It's easy on the mind a little bit.
"It's a fun tournament and I know the course pretty well. I've got confidence going in."

Where To Get Used Whiskey Barrels.
Several micro-brewers make bourbon barrel stout or employ used bourbon barrels in other ways. Bourbon Barrel Foods, in Louisville, ages soy sauce and other products in them. A cigar company in Kentucky ages its tobacco in them.
Let's say you need used bourbon barrels for something, how can you get them?
The obvious place to go is the big bourbon distilleries. They empty hundreds of barrels daily, for which they have no further use. They just want them gone.
But because they need to get rid of so many, they can't really deal with somebody who just needs one, or a dozen, or even a hundred of them. They need to deal with somebody who will take all of them.
The companies that make new barrels are called cooperages but so are the companies that deal in used barrels. The two main makers of new barrels are Brown-Forman Cooperage and Independent Stave Company (ISC). ISC does not deal in used barrels, but Brown-Forman does.
For more about the ways used barrels are re-used, go here.
There are other, much smaller companies in Kentucky that also call themselves cooperages. They may make a few new barrels, or resell new barrels acquired from ISC, but mostly they deal in used barrels that they buy in large quantities from the distilleries.
One such company is Kelvin Cooperage, They're located on the far south side of Louisville. Kentucky Barrels and Bardstown Bourbon Barrels are two similar companies. There used to be many of these little companies that bought used barrels from the distilleries, broke them down, and sold them to Scotland and elsewhere. Or they cut them up and sold them as planters. There don't seem to be as many of them as there used to be.
What used barrels are best? It depends on what you want the barrel to do for you. A lot of breweries use Pappy Van Winkle barrels because that's such a highly-regarded bourbon, but it's also very old – 15 to 23 years. Whiskey takes things out of the wood, it doesn't leave much behind.
If you want wood extractives, then you want barrels used for very young bourbon. Several distilleries (Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Heaven Hill) sell a lot of 2-year-old bourbon to Australia, for use in bourbon-and-cola and bourbon-and-ginger-ale pre-mixes, which are very popular there. Those barrels still have lots of the original sugars, tannins and other substances in them.
If, on the other hand, you want barrels whose extractives have mostly been depleted, then you want barrels from very well-aged bourbons, like Pappy, Elijah Craig 18, or the BT Antiques.
Happily, since all used barrels have the name of the distillery and when they were filled written on the barrel head, you always know what you're getting with used barrels.
Non-distiller producers (NDPs) typically receive the whiskey they buy in barrels, which they dump at their facility. Just like a distillery, an NDP has no further use for those barrels. Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (KBD) and Bardstown Barrel Selections are two such companies. Both are in Bardstown.
Another source is micro-distilleries. They tend to use small barrels – 5, 10, 15, and 30 gallon – rather than the 53 gallon barrels the big guys all use. There are micro-distilleries all over the country now. Only a few make bourbon or rye whiskey, but those that do usually need to dispose of used barrels. They don't have long-term relationships established with resellers, so they sell catch as catch can. They also tend to make young whiskey, so their used barrels still have lots of goodies left in them.
Some micro-distilleries sell their used barrels in their gift shop.
The prices for used barrels fluctuate due to changing demand. Demand has been good lately. To the distilleries, a used 53 gallon barrel brings about $85. You can expect to pay a lot more unless you're buying thousands of them.
A couple of decades ago, when demand was low, distilleries were giving used barrels away, even one at a time, to anyone who showed up with a truck. Not any more.

Another source for used barrels is Tom Griffin, known as "The Barrel Guy" in craft beer circles. He buys up large lots of barrels from Bourbon distilleries then delivers them to craft breweries all over the country. His biggest client is Goose Island who uses them for their Bourbon County Stout:

- Mike Dski said...
I second that comment. Tom has been a member of M.H.T.G. from its start and was the go to guy for barrels for many of the craft brewers .
- February 10, 2012 at 11:43 AM
I live in WI and I was curious if Tom ever sells barrels to homebrewers. I would be willing to pick up, just dont have a way to get in touch with him. Would anyone be wililng to share info at firstname.lastname@example.com?
- January 8, 2013 at 8:37 AM
I'm not sure I understand: how do Pappy Van Winkle barrels, for instance, come into existence in the first place? If the bourbon itself is only a mixture of bourbons made at Buffalo Trace, Stitzel-Weller, and Bernheim.
- October 17, 2013 at 8:45 PM
- Chuck Cowdery said...
A Pappy barrel is any barrel in which whiskey that was bottled as Pappy was aged, regardless of which distillery made it.
- October 17, 2013 at 11:17 PM
Thanks, Chuck.
So in other words, it's not a "Pappy barrel" at all, but rather Buffalo Trace or Bernheim and so forth?
- October 18, 2013 at 10:13 AM
- paige dooley said...
I live in Ky. So where can I buy just one used used barrel?
- March 21, 2015 at 8:10 PM
- Chuck Cowdery said...
My best suggestion is still Kelvin Cooperage, on Outer Loop, south of Louisville.

I tried to go a little out of my color comfort zone on this one…so I threw in that salmon color and I wasn't so sure about it. Now I think I like it though. It's more mild than using red…and not too orange either.
This (of course) was my quilt inspiration. I'll be donating this one for Katie's 100 Quilts for Kids…it's a great idea (and there are great prizes!).

LG GM750 mobile phone
Vodafone will be exclusively offering the new LG GM750 Windows Phone until the end of December.
The new Windows Mobile 6.5 handset combines Microsoft's operating system with heavy customisation from LG, as is the trend with the majority of operators launching handsets on the new OS today.
In this case, LG have moved their S-Class operating system onto the handset, providing an alternative to the default Windows Mobile offering.
Featuring a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera, and GPS, it offers all the benefits of business support and easy Outlook syncing with the easy-to-use interface from LG. Although pitching towards the consumer end of the market, there is no sign of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The optical trackpad at the bottom is a nice touch, as found on recent BlackBerry models.
We got our hands on the new model and grabbed a few snaps for you to feast your eyes.

What a wonderful novel. I have been reading Terry Practchett since the mid 1980's and I love every one of them (perhaps not so much the wizards wandering in the desert - Lost Continent?). But this book, Nation, is just beautiful. Mau is a complex and gorgeous character, trying to build a life and a new country out of the old. So many resonances for me reading this, particularly being Irish, and having worked with the issue of develpment/aid for years. Even in the end they broke up the ancient golden door just to fit it on the ship. There's barbarity everywhere.
I think it's wonderful that, in children's fiction, Terry Practchett - along with Philip Pullman - really establishes a humanistic basis as a valid alternative framework for reading the world. More power to them both. And long may they continue to write.

Hard Work Doesn't Pay for Home-Care Workers
Say you've got a booming industry, one that already employs 2 million workers in the U.S. and is poised to add 1.3 million additional jobs by 2020. Imagine that the jobs cannot be off-shored, that the work helps decrease federal deficits, and millions of Americans depend on the industry just to get through their daily lives.
Now ask yourself: Should it be legal to pay the workforce of this thriving and essential industry less than the minimum wage?
Currently, it's perfectly licit. A loophole in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 exempts home-care workers—employees who provide personal care to the elderly and disabled in their homes—from basic work protections like the minimum wage and overtime pay. The rationale, according to the National Employment Law Project (NELP), was that people providing "companionship services" to seniors and people with disabilities were like casual babysitters.
But this exemption, NELP points out, was never meant to include the extensive housework responsibilities or physically demanding labor of bathing incapacitated clients and helping them use the bathroom that make up a substantial portion of home-care workers' jobs today. And the image of a neighbor paid to come by occasionally and sit with an elderly parent bears little resemblance to today's home-care economy, in in which 70 percent of home-care workers are employed by agencies and for-profit corporations dominate the industry. Now, as profits in the home-care industry climbed 9 percent a year from 2001 to 2009, the "companionship exemption" has become a means for companies to avoid fairly compensating workers, who typically earn just over $20,000 a year for full-time work and whose wages may fall below the minimum when time and money transportation clients or traveling between one client's home and another are factored in.
The Department of Labor agrees that home-care exemptions must be updated. In December, the DOL issued a proposed rule extending basic labor protections to home-care workers. President Barack Obama hailed it as a way to "help make sure that hard work pays off."
But now, as the Department of Labor prepares to officially issue its final rule on home-care workers, opposition from companies profiting from a low-wage workforce has mounted. Since it's hard to argue outright that the woman (92 percent of the affected workforce is female, half are people of color) who helps Great Aunt Edna get out of bed every morning shouldn't earn enough to feed her own children, the case against fair pay for home-care workers has relied on zero-sum analysis pitting seniors against their own caregivers in a fight over scraps. If home-care workers are extended the same fundamental protections that other American workers enjoy, argue industry lobbyists, the corporations that hire them will go under, seniors will be forced into nursing homes, and home-care workers will lose their jobs. In other words, the fastest growing jobs sector in the country can only continue to function as a perpetually low-wage preserve.
These critics are recycling the same discredited arguments used against the minimum wage and the Fair Labor Standards Act 70 years ago. Yet neither of these policies destroyed jobs or created the predicted "chaos in business." In fact, the experience of 15 states that already extend state minimum wage and overtime protections to some or all home-care workers suggests that impacts on companies' viability and the affordability of care will be minimal. The National Employment Law Project points out that there is no data showing that states with minimum wage and overtime protection for home-care workers have higher rates of institutionalization for seniors or people with disabilities. In fact, the elderly and disabled benefit from the lower rates of turnover and greater degree of professionalism possible when their caregivers are fairly compensated.
In a larger sense, we all benefit from the extension of basic labor protections to home-care workers. By effectively raising pay for some of the nation's worst paid workers—primarily women who will quickly spend any additional income to support their families—the proposed rule will provide an economic boost, helping to promote recovery for the nation as a whole. At the same time, the proposed rule makes a powerful statement that the people who care for our frail and elderly do real work and merit the protections the rest of us count on.

"the "companionship exemption" has become a means for companies to avoid fairly compensating workers, who typically earn just over $20,000 a year for full-time work and whose wages may fall below the minimum when time and money transportation clients or traveling between one client's home and another are factored in." If they are making $20,000/year they are being paid $10/hour which is above minimum wage. Time, travel, etc are never factored in by the employer when figuring out wages. I don't pay someone more who has to travel 20 miles, nor do I pay someone less who lives down the street. That's a decision the employee makes - is it worth it?
Basic economics and common sense shows that minimum wage does impact employment. As an employer, if minimum wage goes up, first off I may not be able to employ as many people. So instead of 100 employees, now I have 96. For those four employees their minimum wage became $0. Secondly as an employer I have a certain level of expectation based on the wage. At $5/hour I may be willing to hire a young kid without a lot of experience but at $10/hour my expectations of what I'm paying for go up, and now that kid without a high school degree no longer has a chance.
Again, basic economics. If the cost of employing these people goes up, what's going to happen? There will be fewer of them employed because some folks who currently employ a helper will not be able to afford them. Or they will pay them under the table and eliminate the agency. Also, some of the people who do this now will be replaced because, due to the higher wages better people will come into the field. So someone loses their job because their services aren't worth the higher price.
I know that economics, human behavior and secondary consequences aren't things you like to consider in your world, but you should because you and I and everyone else has to deal with them every day. And no matter how much you wish they would go away, they won't.

Lets get a few things clear:
1.The numbers this author cites about the "booming" industry are totally misleading because those numbers combine the home health care industry with the home care industry. They are two very different industries. Home health care is paid by insurance, while home care is an out of pocket expense for the client. Home health care will be minimally impacted by the elimination of the companionship exemption. Home care will be massively impacted. Home health care has grown very rapidly, while home care has seen very small growth in the last few years due to the recession- people are struggling to afford it.
2.Growth in the home care industry is not due to massive profit margins. The growth has been driven by tremendous demand from America's rapidly aging population for home care, and the fact that home care is relatively affordable for much of that population.
3.Minimum wage is NOT the issue. In CA (where I live and work) caregivers starting pay is 50% above CA minimum wage.
4.Mandated overtime pay is the issue. Specifically, OT is an issue for home care clients who require live-in care to remain living at home.
5.The current exemption does not include "extensive housework responsibilities". In fact, if a caregiver spends more than 20% of their time doing work not directly related to caring for the client, then the caregiver is not exempt from minimum wage and overtime by law.
6.The elimination of the companion exemption will increase the out of pocket costs by two and a half to three times what it currently costs a client today for the same service. In CA that translates to well over $20,000 per month- totally unaffordable for all but the ultra wealthy. Those numbers are fact: minimum wage + OT +Double Time.
7.Even replacing a current live-in schedule with 3 caregivers working 8 hour shifts a day at minimum wage (to avoid overtime charges) would still cost the client $3,500 more a month than they currently pay for live-in care. This scenario would also drastically reduce the caregivers' wages from what they are paid today as they would be capped at 40 hours a week.
8.If people can no longer afford a service, then the job providing that service will not exist- except in the underground economy where the caregiver and the client are both vulnerable and at risk.
9.In the "15 states that already extend state minimum wage and overtime protections to some or all home-care workers" nearly all of those states have some type of carve out for caregivers. CA is one of those "15" states and we have the "personal attendant" exemption under wage order 15 which does infact exempt the caregiver from minimum wage and OT.

being a caregiver needs great dedication for your work because the nature of help others and serve other can only lead you to become a caregiver. caregivers are those who provide home care and always do hard work and try to provide more and more love and care to your loved ones when you are unable to do so, so they should be paid fair enough for the appreciable work they are doing from their heart.
Fri, 2013-04-05 04:18
In the process of serving and helping others, caregiver stops living their own life, but still they are not paid well.
The goverment must be responsible for keeping the rights of a caregiver and they should provide the salary what they deserve.
Money is a big support for all, and for caregivers too.

windows 8 sells like crap, because it is crap. hard to make someone buy windows 8, when the already have much better 7
Come on now, the Music app is crap, and some of the other Metro apps leave a lot to be desired, but Windows 8 as it relates to upgrade from 7, is actually superior as far as stability and performance I'm finding. The only difference is the Start Menu is now a Start Page, and well, Search is an abomination.
The real problem is apps perform really well on Windows 8; unfortunately for MS, same apps perform as well on Windows 7. Finally got Burnout Paradise 2 with super DirectX 11 graphics (read: Need for Speed, Most Wanted = Burnout Paradise 2 with super DirectX 11 graphics). Great on Windows 8, runs exactly the same on Windows 7.
Office 2013 is the best Office yet IMO, runs super on Windows 8. Runs super on Windows 7.
That's going to be Windows 8's problem until there are great apps for Windows 8/RT/Metro.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Been using most of my career. This is my go to lotion.
Good quality. Has a good glide but not too much. Goes a long way. Customers like how it feels. I use it as MT own personal lotion hi
The deals, the products, the service are all great. I will always be a return customer.
I really like this lotion. I like that I can use as much as I need without the mess that oils and gels leave. It's unscented so I can use essential oils without competing with my lotion.
I have been looking for a mostly natural lotion and love this one. Coconut is my favorite to use. I use it always and occasionally add some of the gel to get a little better glide(depends on the client). Washes out clean from my sheets with no rancid smell.

Dog on loose bit Barrow teen girl
Last updated at 15:19, Friday, 08 June 2012
A STAFFORDSHIRE bull terrier cross which invaded a family's home, chased their cat and bit a young girl, acted out of character, according to its owners.
Janine Salt, 33, appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court on Wednesday to stand trial for failing to keep her dog Jackson under control and failing to keep a dog on a lead.
A 17-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court how she returned home in the early hours of January 1 to find the dog sniffing around the porch. When the teenager's mother opened the front door, the dog spotted the family cat on the stairs and chaos ensued.
The teenager told the court: "The dog ran after my cat, up the stairs. The cat hid under my sister's bed and the dog was trampling all over my younger sister while she was asleep. It kept going in and out of the bedrooms to find the cat."
When the cat returned to the porch, the teen grabbed it in her left hand and the dog bit her on her right finger.
She added: "We managed to get the dog outside, but the dog was trying to move my porch door handle to get back in for an hour."
A neighbour called the police and the dog was taken to the pound. Salt told the court she had left the dog locked in her home in Vulcan Road, Barrow, on New Year's Eve before going out. However, she believed a friend had come in through the unlocked front door during the night and allowed Jackson to slip out.
Magistrates found Salt guilty of not keeping the dog under proper control and ordered her to make sure it was muzzled and on a lead when outside.
She was given a 12-month conditional discharge for failing to keep it on a lead and ordered to pay £100 costs.
Outside court, Jackson's owner and Salt's partner, Andrew Lippett, said: "This is the first time he has ever escaped and for something like this to happen, I am amazed really. I am absolutely gobsmacked it happened."

Have your say
@liz. Your right dogs are not human. How many human attacks are there in barrow compared with dog attacks? Please don't just jump on the "all dogs are mad" wagon when you obviously know very little about their make-up.
exterminate the dog.!

Sorry, Louisiana, you are the saddest state. And Hawaii (shocker!) you are the happiest.
That's according to a team at the Vermont Complex Systems Center, who posted their new analysis of 10 million geotagged tweets to to arXiv.org. They call their creation a "hedonometer."
They also found that the Bible belt stretching across the American south and into Texas was less happy than the west or New England. The saddest town of the 373 urban areas studied was Beaumont in east Texas. The happiest was Napa, California, home of many drunk people wine makers. The only town among the 15 saddest that was not in the south or Rust Belt was Waterbury, Connecticut. (Although Waterbury has appeared on several "worst places to live" lists, which seems like mean lists to make.)
The researchers coded each tweet for its happiness content, based on the appearance and frequency of words determined by Mechanical Turk workers to be happy (rainbow, love, beauty, hope, wonderful, wine) or sad (damn, boo, ugly, smoke, hate, lied). While the researchers admit their technique ignores context, they say that for large datasets, simply counting the words and averaging their happiness content produces "reliable" results.
Next to each word are two symbols, a plus or minus (+/-) and up or down arrows. The plus or minus indicates whether that word is considered happy or sad. The up or down arrow indicates whether that word was used more or less than average in that city. So, let's take '****' as an example. ****, a negative word, was used less often in Napa and more often in Beaumont. The size of the bar that you see shows how much that word contributed to the happiness rating for the city. So, the lack of ****s in Napa played a substantial role in its high rating, while the prevalence of ****s hurt Beaumont's happiness rating. Looking just at Beaumont, one can see why it got a low rating. The only positive words at the top of its ledger are "lol" and "haha," and there were not enough hahas to bring it up to the national average. The rest of the words -- ****, ass, damn, gone, no, bitch, hell -- were negative and used often.
For individual cities, the Vermont researchers note, the amount of swearing contributed substantially to their final scores. They think it's worth investigating this phenomenon, which they call "geoprofanity."

DominoBot Building Instructions
Check it out here.
6 comments:
Is there a way to download the building instructions of the SoundBot, Classic Clock, and this great DominoBot to the Mindstorms software? The way it is laid out, it looks like you should be able to be file various instructions under "Machines" or "Vehicles" or whatever... right?
- Aug 5, 2006, 1:14:00 PM
Hello All!
I would just like to extend an invitation to all those who read this blog to add to the new but almost already extinct Mindstorms Wiki: www.nxt-mindstorms.com
It is not my wiki, but I think that with a little kick start, this could become something huge. We just need a little help from everybody.
It doesn't have to be an article, maybe just some info, but wikies are self reviewing communities and every piece of information you place up there will become part of it in some way or another.

Hello...Is anybody there?
You guys are doing a great job. I thought you might want to post about the addition of Bryan Bonahoom's MDP profile. Actualy, I just want you to post it so I can comment about it. But until you do, let me just say that I ham very, very, very happy with this one. Tons of bots featured and he has a sensoe of humor!

Okay, so finally a serious post from WLC.
I've got a question, and I figure you (former) MDPers know all about this subject.
Let's say you're going to build a robot, such as the DominoBot.
Where do you start?
I mean, do you first build the base, or the domino tower, or does it matter?
When I try to invent something, I know what the robot is basically going to do and how to do it (I hope!). But I sort of let the details and design take care of themselves as I'm building.
Are there better ways? Does this stuff take a genious in engineering? I'm especially concerned about this with the idea of studless building.
Also, will any of the books coming out for NXT deal with stuff like this?
Actually several questions there.

Thank you, maniac000, I just popped it to the top - good catch.
On "how do you design", well... it's different for everybody. I know I often start with what I think is going to be the toughest part of a project: for instance on DAZLR, I knew lauching the sphere was critical, so that came first, without any thought towards making it mobile or where the sensors would go. Then I had to refine (MANY times) the magazine to feed the spheres in. That, it turns out, was truely the trickiest part. Once I had those, then I worried about where to put the wheels (literally just slapped on the sides - a strength, of studless building here) and the NXT (on top, where it can be flipped out of the way).
Does this stuff take a genius in engineering? Far from it! But it certainly takes a lot of trial and error, for anybody. As it did for most folks when they started with studded (conventional) LEGO building.
I don't know if any of this is directly addressed in any of the newer books (although it's been mentioned in older LEGO books), but perhaps those of us writing books will now think about it a little more.

The way I tackle a bot build is different for each bot, but yes... there is a book coming out near the end of this year (HINT HINT) that goes over a couple of methods for designing & planning... I'll see if I can release more info soon... maybe some images...

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Looking for more information about James Travis Tolbert WWII?
Search through millions of records to find out more.
This is a story from the Battle of the Bulge of Jas. T. Tolbert taking out a Tiger Tank.
Search through millions of records to find out more.
December 1944 — Battle of the Bulge
This is a story my father, James Travis Tolbert, told about the Battle of the Bulge. It was cold and he was VERY hungary. The fox holes of the U. S. Army guys my Dad as with were about two football fields away from the German fox holes.
They heard a tank coming toward them. I think it was a Tiger tank. My Dad took two grenades and ran toward the tank. He was the only one who knew how to take out a tank with grenades. He ran up to the tank and put one grenade down the hatch and one grenade in the tracks. The tank blew up, and they didn't have to worry about German tanks anymore.
He was handicapped since childhood and running was not his kind of activity. He was a Staff Seargeant in the Signal Corps. He could type 120 words per minute on a manual typewriter with no errors. People would come and just watch his fingers fly when he worked for Western Union in Washington, D.C. The only way he could get in the Army was for the Army to make him 2 pair of specially made boots.

In the world of modern hot rodding, a top notch build is all about components and pedigree. That's why Boyd Coddington was dubbed 'The Hot Rod King'. He had an uncanny ability to take a vintage car and radically transform it using custom fabricated components and a keen eye for outrageous design. During the 90s Coddington hired a talented young designer by the name of Chip Foose and together they would create some of the most timeless and unique hot rods ever put on four wheels. Based on the Boydster show car originally penned by Chip Foose, this spectacular 1932 Boydster roadster features the absolute best of everything from its custom pearl flames to its fully chromed 502 Ram jet engine; and in addition to being a feature car in American Rodder magazine, has taken home trophies from some of the most exclusive hot rod shows in the country.
Painted and assembled by Chris Tietge's Hot Rod Garage in Lebanon Ohio this sweet looking Ford is the kind of car that we all dream of owning as kids and pledge to build as adults. It absolutely nails the often attempted, but rarely achieved formula of OEM quality good looks and panel fit in a highly detailed, completely custom package. The straight and smooth body is covered in a thick coat of vivid GM Torch Red and topped by an amazing custom pearl flame job courtesy of Wade Hughes from Ohio Flames. It's an unbeatable combination on a car that is so well done you'll find yourself walking back to it again and again just to stare and smile.
With think resin throughout and no waves or imperfections, the cars steel reinforced fiberglass body takes the classic design of a '32 Ford roadster and adds numerous details which take it to a whole new level. At the front of the car, a pristine D.F. Metalworks stainless steel grille presents flatter and wider than a traditional '32 Ford grille and sits between two chrome trimmed headlights with body matched housings and integrated turn signals. Behind the grille, the traditional looking '32 Ford hood has been extended to better accommodate massive powerplants and gives the car that cool 'long and low' look that emphasizes power. Behind the hood, a modern wrap around windshield trades in the distracting hard edged look of traditional chopped and stainless framed windshields for a smooth custom look that emphasizes the cars clean design. Below that windshield, shaved suicide doors carry modern body matched sport mirrors and fit perfectly, opening with ease and closing with a confident 'thunk'. Below the doors, custom fiberglass fenders flow from the car's front frame horns to the bottom of the rear valence giving the traditional roadster body some nice modern curves. Out back, a custom tan top that was fabricated by Tietge's Hot Rod Shop sits above a thin LED tail light that spans the entire width of the cars smooth rear valence. Below the trunk, a completely retractable license plate hangs just above the ground in front of a finned rear end cover and chrome inboard mounted brakes.
Pry open the long hood and you'll find a fully chromed GM Performance Parts Ram Jet 502 that takes up the car's entire Torch Red engine bay. Straight from GM, this killer package includes high efficiency aluminum heads, an aluminum intake, forged aluminum pistons, forged steel connecting rods, a forged steel crank, a hydraulic roller cam, a fully calibrated ECM, electronic fuel injection and a stout 9.6 to 1 compression ratio that creates 510 horsepower and 565 lb./ft. of unmatched throttle response. Lighting fires for that massive engine is a new American Autowire harness that sends power through a GM coil and distributor to red high performance Taylor plug wires. At the front of the motor a reusable air filter hangs above a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine system that clears the cars radiator mounted electric fan by about an inch, perfectly displaying the laser precision executed throughout this build. Aesthetically, the car has been completely finished for show with all of its ancillary components like the chrome alternator, chrome AC compressor, polished valve covers, coated long-tube headers and braided hoses still looking brilliant and the simple and uncluttered engine bay appearing more like industrial sculpture than a functioning automobile.
The cars custom-built frame was supplied by Boyd Coddington and consists of a heavily tapered chassis that is reinforced by tubular cross members. A polished Heidt's style front suspension features stainless steel upper and lower control arms, chrome QA1 coil-over shocks, a Flaming River manual steering rack and Wilwood performance brakes with drilled rotors and chrome calipers. The cars polished Corvette inspired independent rear suspension features inboard Wilwood disc brakes with polished calipers, two more polished QA1 coil overs and a cool finned differential cover. Exhaust is handled by a custom fabricated and completely polished oval exhaust system that includes stainless Hushpower mufflers, and a 6-speed manual transmission that was transplanted from an LT4 Corvette provides motivation via a body matched driveshaft and pavement shredding 3.73 gears. Everything under this car has been painted in brilliant Torch Red and, as with the engine bay, all componentry has been upfitted to show standards with polished brake and fuel lines, new braided hoses and a custom fuel tank rounding out the details. At the corners of the car, 16 inch front and 18 inch rear Boyd Coddington wheels wear 205/50 and 255/45 Z-rated Goodyear radials.
You can credit Steve Holcomb at Pro Auto Custom Interiors for this roadster's stunning, show-stopping interior. Covered in high quality cream leather, the bucket seats were custom fabricated just for this car and the overall design is simple and effective. At the floor, a custom cream console flows from the dash to the middle of the seats and houses a GM 6-speed shifter, controls for the cars Vintage Air HVAC system and buttons for the power windows. At the sides of the seats, custom cream door panels flow around great looking billet door handles, and at the bottom of the seats high-end tan wool carpeting sits below chrome pedals and thick tan mats. In front of the driver, a painted tilt steering column is topped by a custom Boyd Coddington steering wheel, and the painted dash is equipped with a Billet Specialties aluminum panel that holds reliable Classic Instruments gauges. Behind the cockpit you'll find a fully finished trunk that perfectly matches the cream interior and hides a Secret Audio AM/FM radio.
This car's show history is extensive, and the list of awards it has won is impressive:
It was named Boyd Coddington's Pros Pick at the 2005 Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio.
It received Best of Show – Street Rod at the 2005 Ohio's Open Run in Lebanon, Ohio.
It placed sixth in the '32 Altered Street Roadster class at the 2006 Detroit Autorama in Detroit, Michigan
It was Boyd Coddington's Pros Pick – Best Bitchin' at the 2007 Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio
It received Best of Show at the 2011 New Lebanon Car Show in New Lebanon, Ohio
Included with the car is a few extra parts, two copies of the American Rodder issue it was featured in, extensive receipts and manuals about the details of its construction and photos of the entire process.
You can't really ask for a better hot rod than this '32 Roadster. Designed by Chip Foose, sourced by Boyd Coddington, powered by factory developed GM technology, assembled to exceptionally high standards with top notch components and coated in custom paint, this Ford literally HAS IT ALL! It's a proven trophy winner with lust worthy appeal that simply cannot be duplicated for the asking price. If you're still not convinced, just keep staring at the pictures; it's only a matter of time before it reels you in just like everyone else that walks through our RK Motors Charlotte showroom.

they did what they said they would, but the description of the bed wasn't as accurate as it could have been. they also called to confirm the delivery, but they used UPS who was horrible. I'd suggest they find other delivery companies.

Shipping was very fast. I love that it's all solid wood (no fakey stuff). only thing so far is I wish there was a couple more inches of space between the top and bottom bunk. For the price, it is well worth it! Thank you!

very quick shipping and good quality packaging to protect the item. Item arrived missing 6 screws from the hardware pack. Fortunately they were of common size and easily replaced from my stock on hand.

Leading Catholic composers will gather at the Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University later this month for the 14th-annual Liturgical Composers Forum.
The forum is a professional academy of women and men who write hymns, songs and acclamations for the Roman Catholic Mass. The group includes published composers from across North America and England representing various styles of traditional and contemporary music.
Attendees will include David Haas, Roc O'Connor, Rory Cooney, Jaime Cortez, Janet Whitaker and many others.
For the first time, the public is invited to one of the forum's events, "A Dessert Concert with Poetry and Praise," at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25, in the chapel at Mercy Center, 2039 North Geyer Road.
Led by Missouri native and composer Lynn Trapp, Ph.D, the concert will include inspiring instrumental music, congregational singing and the poetry of author Susan Palo Cherwien.
A reception will follow the concert. Admission to the event is free, but reservations are required by Jan. 19.
To RSVP, call 314-977-7200.
The Liturgical Composers Forum was founded by Fr. John Foley, S.J., to foster collaboration among liturgical composers and to provide ongoing education in liturgical theology, spirituality, text writing and musical composition. This is one way the Center for Liturgy works to improve the quality of music available to parishes around the world.
The Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University enlivens, enriches and deepens the celebration of the Eucharist by enabling Catholics to participate more fully in the Mass, by advancing the composition of liturgical music, and by teaching students about the riches of Catholic liturgy.
