Supporters have raised $20,000 for an Atlanta security guard who became an internet sensation this week after he posted videos online showing his refusal to give in to abuse from troublemakers. Darien Long made headlines earlier this week after a video showing him tasering a violent woman outside Atlanta's Metro Mall spread online – it has now been viewed more than one million times. And since then more and more videos are emerging of the zero-tolerance guard refusing to give in to violent threats. In the footage, filmed by a camera on Long's uniform, men are heard warning they'll follow him home; he is racially abused; spat at; threatened with violence and objects are thrown at him all because he's asked people to leave the shopping center or to stop hovering outside.
More videos of the following days with threats and an interview with local news.
Crowdtilt fund started by reddit users for Darrien Long to buy new gear.

So a friend of mine got a Lumia 920 and my first impression of it was 'Holy crap. This feels SO nice in the hand.' I also realized that those that were complaining about it being heavy and big... well they're obviously used to having miniscule things. Unlike many phones, it feels solid and not like it's about to snap in half
Anyway.. I have read about the camera being brilliant so I thought I'd test it against my Lumia 800. I expected the 920 to beat it but the amount it beat it by, I was not expecting.
I put the images side by side for comparison. The top row is the 920, the bottom the 800. The first column of images is with flash and the second is without flash.
Side by side comparison
As it's a large image it's been compressed quite a bit so you can't see the exact quality of each image although if you want to see full scale here you go:
Lumia 920 no flash
Lumia 920 flash
Lumia 800 no flash
Lumia 800 flash
Truly remarkable.

BYU training camp is only a month away now, meaning that the annual run of "Cougar Quiz" postings will soon draw to a close.
If you haven't been a regular test-taker over the last two months, don't fret--just put on your helmet-shaped thinking cap and give this one a run.
As always, the questions are designed to inform and educate...and to let you show off your BYU football trivia knowledge. If you do well (and even if you don't), be sure to share the quiz on social media.
Greg Wrubell's Cougar Quiz No. 10Posted Jun 29th - 9:46am by Greg Wrubell
With BYU Football Media Day in the books for another year and the month of July upon us, the 2015 Cougar football season draws ever nearer.
To help BYU fans keep their football neurons firing during the offseason, the "Cougar Quiz" appears weekly, keeping the countdown fires burning before training camp opens in early August.
Through nine quizzes, the average score always hovers in the high 40%-to-low 50% range; see how you do this week, and be sure to share the quiz with BYU friends and family.
Greg Wrubell's Cougar Quiz No. 9Posted Jun 22nd - 8:58am by Greg Wrubell

Greg Wrubell's Cougar Quiz No. 8Posted Jun 15th - 10:55am by Greg Wrubell

One of the great things about BYU's outstanding football history is that there are plenty of historical facts to mine for the weekly trip down memory lane. You may not know everything, but you are bound to learn something.
Give the latest test a try, and afterward, be sure to share it with the BYU fans in your social-media circle.

It's time for another weekly stroll through the recent and distant annals of BYU football trivia--it's another "Cougar Quiz," designed, as always, to inform and entertain.

After you finish the quiz, be sure to share it with your BYU-fan friends and family.
Greg Wrubell's Cougar Quiz No. 6Posted Jun 1st - 10:04am by Greg Wrubell
Cougar Nation has picked up the pace in the weekly "Cougar Quiz" test results; for three straight weeks, the average score has topped the 50% mark.
I look for continued improvement with the latest trivia test; dive right in and have a go at ten questions designed to inform and entertain.

Give it a go, and be sure to share it with friends and family on social media. High scores deserve a self-shout out.
Greg Wrubell's Cougar Quiz No. 3Posted May 11th - 9:29am by Greg Wrubell
Through two weeks of the "Cougar Quiz," the average score has hovered in the low-40% range, which just means that most quiz-takers are in off-season form right now.
With BYU football training camp now less than three months away, let's see if the scores climb this week.
Give this week's quiz a go, then be sure to share it with family and friends.

Mitt Romney Falls Short with White Voters
If you're looking for reasons to be confident of a Barack Obama win tonight, it's worth noting Mitt Romney's share of the white vote in the final pre-election polls:
Given the likely composition of the electorate—74 percent white, 26 percent nonwhite—Mitt Romney needs to win at least 61 percent of white voters. But in this average, he roughly repeats George W. Bush's 2004 performance. Then, this was good enough to eke out a small win in the popular vote. Now, it brings him within striking distance of 50 percent, but no further. What's more, this is probably the last presidential race where Republicans can count on maximizing their share of white voters to win the election; as National Journal's Ron Brownstein points out, the white share of the electorate has steadily declined in every election since 1992, from 88 percent of all voters to 74 percent four years ago.
Which is to say that if Republicans had made efforts to bring Latino voters in—or at least, not alienate them—they would be in better shape. The same goes for African American voters—a small share of whom have always voted for GOP presidential candidates—and Asian Americans. As it stands, Republicans are far behind with each. Or, as South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham recently put it to Politico, "If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn't conservative enough I'm going to go nuts. We're not losing 95 percent of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we're not being hard-ass enough."
Tue, 2012-11-06 16:12
I was so confused when Romney choose an equally white and pasty man as his running mate instead of the obviouse choice of Rubbio. The GOP only seems to be getting more white at a time when the very survival of their party rests on them becoming more diverse. At this rate they would even have to worry about Texas becoming a swing state, what with the demographics changes and all, unless the party is able to restructure itself.
Tue, 2012-11-06 19:25
Tue, 2012-11-06 20:25
There are more white Democrats than there are all minority voters combined. As the Democratic party increasingly demonizes the white Christian, more of them will become Republican. The white "core" of the Democratic party is dissolving like an Alka-Seltzer tablet.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Saturday mail may soon go the way of the Pony Express and penny postcards. The Postal Service said Wednesday that it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world radically re-ordered by the Internet.
"Our financial condition is urgent," declared Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Saturday delivery, and his announcement immediately drew protests from some lawmakers. The plan, which is to take effect in August, also brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers' union and others.
The Postal Service, which suffered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected. Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week.
The plan accentuates one of the agency's strong points: Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mailing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased package shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to customers' new habits.
"Things change," Donahoe said.
James Valentine, an antiques shop owner in Toledo, wasn't too concerned about the news.
"The mail isn't that important to me anymore. I don't sit around waiting for it to come. It's a sign of the times," he said, adding, "It's not like anyone writes letters anymore."
In fact, the Postal Service has had to adapt to changing times ever since Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first postmaster general by the Continental Congress in 1775. The Pony Express began in 1860, six-day delivery started in 1863, and airmail became the mode in 1918. Twice-a-day delivery was cut to one in 1950 to save money.
But change is not the biggest factor in the agency's predicament — Congress is. The majority of the service's red ink comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay about $5.5 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Without that payment — $11.1 billion in a two-year installment last year — and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion for the past fiscal year, lower than the previous year.
Congress also has stymied the service's efforts to close some post offices in small towns.
Under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open.
Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully has appealed to Congress to approve the move. An independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.
The proposed change is based on what appears to be a legal loophole — and that may be a gamble. Congress has long included a ban on five-day-only delivery in its spending bills, but because the federal government is now operating under a temporary spending measure rather than an appropriations bill, Donahoe says it's the agency's interpretation that it can make the change itself.
"This is not like a 'gotcha' or anything like that," he said. The agency essentially wants Congress to keep the ban out of any new spending bill after the temporary measure expires March 27.
Might Congress try to block the idea?
"Let's see what happens," he said. "I can't speak for Congress."
Two Republican lawmakers said they had sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate in support of the elimination of Saturday mail. It's "common-sense reform," wrote Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
But Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich called it "bad news for Alaskans and small business owners" who he said need timely delivery to rural areas.

|Head Baseball Coach
|11th Season
|Alma Mater:
|Mary Washington, 2001
The 2015 season will mark the 11th year for head coach Brendan Eygabroat. The all-time winningest coach in the program's history, Eygabroat has taken the UMass Boston baseball program to new heights.
During his time with the Beacons, Eygabroat has guided UMass to 10 consecutive conference tournament appearances, more than any other coach in history. He also led his squad to the first Little East Conference and NCAA Division III Regional crown in 2010.
A true teacher of the game, Eygabroat's coaching philosophy has helped numerous players earn multiple All-American, All-Region, and All-Conference accolades. He has also helped the program reach a national ranking of 12th on the NCBWA/D3Baseball.com Top-25 Coaches Poll --the highest in program history-- which they achieved during their amazing run to the Division III College World Series in 2010.
The all-time leader in Little East Conference regular and postseason victories, Eygabroat has turned the Beacons program into a yearly contender in a conference some consider to be one of the best in all of Division III baseball.
Last season, Eygabroat saw four Beacons earn All-Little East Conference honors. Senior Jamill Moquete became just the second player in program history to be named the conference's Player of the Year. The Boston native would then make program history by becoming the first player under Eygabroat, and second in school history, to be drafted in the Major League Baseball (MLB) Amateur Draft. Moquete, was selected in the 32nd round by the Baltimore Orioles, after a standout three-year career with UMass.
Most recently Eygabroat helped the Beacons earn their highest regular season finish in the Little East Conference, earning the No. 2 seed heading into the conference tournament in 2011. It was also in that year that he coached the LEC and ECAC Player of the Year in Ryan Walsh. Walsh would go onto be named a First Team All-American as well as sign a professional contract.
The record setting and historic 2010 season saw Eygabroat lead
UMass Boston to their first-ever NCAA Division III College Baseball
World Series appearance in Appleton, WI after sweeping through the
Little East Conference and New England Regional tournaments. His
squad broke numerous records, shattering the single-season wins
mark with 32 victories. Two of his players were honored as D-III
All-Americans, five were recognized on the New England All-Region
squad as well as the Little East Conference Teams and he also
coached the Little East Conference Pitcher of the Year for the
third time in his career.
Behind Eygabroat, the 2010 Beacons set a school record for overall wins and matched the program's highest victory total in Little East Conference play with an 8-6 mark. UMass Boston won nine of its last 11 games, including four straight wins in the LEC Tournament and four in a row in the NCAA New England Regional. UMB set school records in games played (49), hits (580), runs scored (440), runs batted in (373), total bases (857), home runs (49), doubles (118), slugging percentage (.480), bases on balls (188), stolen bases (127), times hit by pitch (67), innings pitched (427 2/3), shutouts (4), batters struck out (333), saves (12), putouts (1283) and fielding assists (481).
During Eygabroat's n10 years his program has produced three All-Americans, the league's Pitcher of the Year three times and Player of the Year two times, 10 All-New England Region honorees and 26 players have been named to the Little East Conference All-Star squad. His players have also competed in prestigious summer leagues around New England such as the legendary Cape Cod League and New England Collegiate Baseball League. Since 2008, Eygabroat has had two of his former players sign professional contracts to play in the CanAm Independent League.
Prior to his arrival at UMass Boston Eygabroat spent four seasons as an assistant coach at nearby Suffolk University where he worked with the Rams' hitters and catchers. Eygabroat also saw time as an assistant coach in the New England Collegiate Baseball League for the Mill City All-Americans working with the outfielders and hitters.
Before joining the college coaching ranks, Eygabroat enjoyed an outstanding college playing career at Mary Washington College in Virginia, where he helped the Eagles to a pair of NCAA Regional tournament appearances in 2001 and 1998. The Rochester, New York, native was named captain for the Mary Washington College for his senior season and earned South Region Honorable Mention honors as a catcher. Eygabroat also earned a spot on the Capital Athletic Conference First Team. Eygabroat was also part of the Eagles CAC championship as a freshman in 1998.
Eygabroat graduated from Mary Washington in 2001 with a bachelor's of science in business administration. Eygabroat also earned a master's degree in higher education administration from Suffolk in 2003. He resides in Jamaica Plain with his wife, Joanna and their daughter Ella.

Newt Gingrich can't catch a break, he recently got caught with "Dancin' Queen" as the ringtone on his phone! Really Newt? Your name, your hair, your marital history, your RINO grazing...those aren't enough to make you look unpresidential?
The silver lining to this is it did make me wonder what ringtones liberal politicians would (or should) have...
Harry Reid: The Village People - "Macho macho man, I want to be a macho man."
Barack Obama: Carly Simon - "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you..."
Men at Work - "Do you come from the land down under?" (no...not Austrailia)
Michelle Obama: Weird Al Yankovich - "Just eat it....Get yourself an egg and beat it, have some more chicken, have some more pie...."
Joe Biden: "A B C D E F G...."
Al Gore: Journey - "Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling" (only during blizzards)
Nancy Pelosi: Lady Gaga - "Can't read my poker face" (she likes it when she gets calls at her Botox "consultations")
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Ludacris - "I've got hoes in different area codes"
Ted Kennedy: The Bangles - "Is this burning an eternal flame?" (yes, he got to keep his phone)
Anthony Weiner: "I wish I was an Oscar Mayer wiener..."
Charlie "Slumlord" Rangel: Pras and Mya - "Ghetto superstar, that is what you are..."
Barney Frank: Somewhere over the rainbow, is some guy... (its a custom ringtone)
Dennis Kucinich: Radiohead - "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here, I don't belong here..."
Bill Clinton: Garth Brooks - "I've got friends in low places"
Jimmy Soul - "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife..."
I know the possibilities are endless with this. Let me know what I missed.

BONIFAY — After a brief review from Finance Officer Larry Hawkins the Holmes County District School Board approved of Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan Adoption Agreement, also known as the Cafeteria Plan, during their Nov. 5 meeting.
Hawkins explained that the Cafeteria Plan is a tax benefit to offset medical expenses by setting up a plan where teachers can take an allotted amount out of each paycheck to put towards medical expenses.
"For example if they invested $2,000 they are now allowed to carry forward $500 to the next year, which before it was more of a 'use it or loose it' kind of plan," said Hawkins.
Board approved of the state's mandated Wellness Policy.
"Every five years we have to promote healthy eating in our lunchrooms and healthy lifestyle choices like regular exercise, which is required by," said Superintendent Eddie Dixon.
School Board member Debbie Kolmetz said she wanted to reemphasize the importance of not selling soda and candy past it's allotted time, which is not past an hour after lunchtime.
"Our WINGS program really provides physical activities for children after school," said School Board member Sherley Owens.
Kolmetz inquired about the required 10 minutes of recess for elementary school students and Owens pointed out that the verbiage states that "most" children will have an allotted time for recess every day.
Owens also requested that the Board consider her request again for School Board Workshops at least once a month.
"For a new school board member such as myself I feel that these could be very beneficial," said Owens.
Kolmetz made a motion once again to have audio recordings of the school board meetings be available online, which died due to lack of motion.
She made a motion once again to have the recommended personnel provided by the superintendent also provide their degree and experience, which also died due to lack of motion.
Kolmetz had made these two requests before at the previous meeting held on Oct. 15, which both died due to lack of seconds.
Kolmetz reminded everyone that Bonifay Elementary School would be holding their Veterans' Day Celebration at 9 a.m. on Friday and Holmes County High School would be holding a presentation at 10 a.m. on Monday.
Board approved of overnight/out of state trips for Poplar Springs' Future Farmers of America to attend the State Forestry Competition on Nov. 14 and 15 in Pace, Bonifay Middle School's Jr. Beta Club to attend State Convention on Dec. 1, 2 and 3 in Orlando, Poplar Springs's Sr. Beta Club to attend State Convention on Jan. 17, 18 and 19 in Orlando and Poplar Springs' Future Farmers of America to attend Leadership Teamwork on Nov. 16 in Dothan, Ala.
The next scheduled meeting of the Holmes County District School Board will be held at 9 a.m. on Nov. 19.
"We've changed it to a morning meeting for the reorganization of the board," said Chair Rusty Williams.

Do you have to use batteries in order to use the studio beats?
- Asked by Michelle B from Brooklyn
Beats Studio Over-Ear Headphones
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes they take 2 AAA's at all time since they are noise canceling. When getting some parts for my dad I discovered that harbor Freight carries large 18 or 20 packs of these for a mere $4. I decided to try them thinking they were junk, but they are not! They last forever! I use my beats at work every day for over 8 hours a day and I usually only have to change batteries every 4 months or longer.
- Answered by Julie J from Saint Paul
Yes. Unfortunately the beats by dre studios are active noise canceling which means they require AAA batteries at all time. If that is not what you want you may want to look at Beats Pro, Beats Solo HD, or beats Wireless
- Answered by Harbia J from Des Moines
in the beats wireless you need to use battery

Want a UK uncorrected proof of Guards Guards!?
In the next few days one will be appearing on ebay. There will be a reserve price on it probably of approx 350-400 pounds. It's way too expensive for me, but somebody reading this may want it badly enough. (I reckon it will probably be unsold with the highest bid being about 285 pounds)
The guy selling it also has uncorrected proofs of Sourcery, Pyramids and 60 other collectable TP FEs etc, but he is living in cloud cuckoo land re prices.
I know this coz after two weeks of haggling I bought UK proofs of Jingo and Hogfather from him.
If you want a specific book or more info send me a pm coz I've got a full list of what he's selling.

Anyway, I see the school's point as well. It is not easy to plan things like trips around everyone's busy schedules and train timetables and museum opening hours and ... and ... and ... I guess it's not that they don't want to put in the extra effort, it's just hard to understand that having lunch half an hour earlier or later can make so much of a difference.
The problem is that in your case it really IS vital.
I can see the schools point as well. Both my parents were teachers - I know only too well what they had to put up with
It's difficult to explain fully without putting a bunch of medical stuff on the forum. Without going into the fairly yukky details, I have to help him with his evening toilet routine and have done so since he was born.
Moving one lunchtime for one day - well we might just get away with, but then again we may not - its difficult to predict. But moving all his lunchtimes will definitely wreck the routine we have fought hard to establish. Moving an evening meal is also more problematic. If things mess up it's D that has to put up with the knock on problems at school.
The real frustration comes from the fact that we have explained this again and again in Statement meetings. Its all documented. We shouldn't need to tell them the importance of mealtimes or diet. It really does feel like the school does not believe us and does listen to our hard won experience.

|Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
Perl Monks Approved HTML tags
|( #29281=superdoc: print w/ replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Here is the list of HTML tags and attributes currently allowed on PerlMonks. See PerlMonks Approved Chatter HTML Tags for what is allowed in the chatterbox. Currently home nodes do not have their HTML filtered, but a separate list of allowed HTML for home nodes is being developed.
1Although these tags are allowed, use of them is discouraged. In particular, it is usually much better to use
 and not
 and please use  instead of
 unless the enclosed lines are pretty short.
2Note that  and <c> are not really HTML tags at PerlMonks. They prevent enclosed special characters like <, >, &, [, and ] from being interpretted. Also, not even whitespace is allowed inside ( will not be recognized) and they must have a matching  or </c> for them to work. If the code contains a newline, then it is rendered such that long lines will wrap.
The only string not allowed inside of  tags is  (though upper- vs. lower-case is ignored). Likewise, the only strings not allowed inside of <c> tags is </c> (again, upper- vs. lower-case is ignored).
3Note that <readmore> is not an HTML tag. The tag becomes a
 when viewing the node directly (so it can be seen as a slight change in background color behind the surrounded text, depending on how you have CSS set up).
But, when viewing the node as part of some other node (such as a reply seen when viewing a node earlier in the thread or such as a root node seen in The Monastery Gates or in a section display page like Seekers of Perl Wisdom), it replaces the enclosed content with
Read more...
 where "Read more..." is a link to the node. Clicking that link shows you the node directly which makes the previously hidden content appear.
Also, not even whitespace is allowed inside (< readmore > will not be recognized) and, if there is no closing tag, then the rest of the node is affected.
You can use  to display a literal <readmore> (as one would expect, though it previously did not always work).
4Note that <spoiler> is not an HTML tag. It is used for presenting "spoilers" to questions and will be rendered differently according to the users preferences, with the general idea being that a little more work is required to see the content than just viewing a node.
When wrapped in  tags the <spoiler> tags will be treated as literal text and not have any special meaning

First drive: the new Vauxhall Adam
We drive the sportiest version of Vauxhall's new city car. It's called the 'Slam'…
Posted: 06 Nov 2012
The Vauxhall Adam Slam? 'Slam'? Really?
Oh yes. Slam is the topmost, sportiest trim level on Vauxhall's Mini-rivalling new city car, closely followed by Glam - 'mature and elegant', apparently - and Jam, which is 'really funky'. Top Gear eagerly awaits the 'Ham', 'Clam' and 'Andrew Ridgeley Formerly Of Wham' trim levels.
There's more. Much more. If you're so inclined, you can have your Adam with a contrast-coloured floating roof in - and I quote - 'White My Fire' (that's white) or 'I'll Be Black' (that's black). Or how about some 'Splat' graphics in 'Red'n'Roll'?
Wow indeed. It's all part of Vauxhall's programme to make the Adam the most personalisable - yeah, it's a word - car in the history of ever. Colour-coded alloys, contrast wing mirrors, even a clouds-and-blue-sky cabin headlining, they're all available, allowing you to make your Adam like literally no other. For better or worse.
So how does it drive?
Very nicely, as neatly as you could wish from a dinky city car. No, it's not as entertaining as a Mini - blame the Adam's torsion beam rear suspension where BMW's baby has a posh multi-link set-up - but it feels a little more sophisticated than the oft-bouncy Fiat 500. Sure, the Adam gets a bit unsettled over big bumps, but what more can you expect from a short wheelbase urban runabout?
Erm, cheeky little petrol engines?
Check. We drove the mid-range 85bhp 1.4-litre petrol - there's a 97bhp version of the same engine and an entry level 68bhp 1.2 petrol available too, all of which manage over 50mpg and dip below 120g/km of CO2 - and it felt decently peppy without ever veering into genuine sportiness. Even so, the Adam is a cheery thing to punt around town, with quickish steering and a decent amount of grip.
Not a Nürburgring weapon, though?
Not at all, but that's not the point in the Adam. This car is all about getting big car toys in a tiny package, and on that front it delivers. Even the basest Adams - which start at £11,255 - come with alloy wheels, DAB radio, cruise control and a bit of leather. Delve into the options list and you can have an Adam that parks itself, with a classy infotainment system that'll hook up to a dedicated Vauxhall sat-nav app on your iPhone. Properly clever stuff, and smartly executed too.
So it doesn't feel cheap?
No. A lot of city cars attempt to achieve 'funkiness' - dread word - by gluing a few garish lumps of plastic atop their dull plastic dashes. Not the Adam. Provided you stay away from the lairiest end of the options list - foil-finish dash, anyone? - the cabin feels thoroughly upmarket and coherent, while avoiding the wilful obtuseness of the current crop of Minis.
But Mini has the whole Swinging Sixties thing to fall back on...
Indeed. Vauxhall's biggest problem may be the lack of a cutesy city car in its heritage: both Mini and Fiat's offerings trade heavily off the back of their retro icons. But Audi has managed the premium, personalised city-thing with the A1 - albeit at a higher price point - without a bug-eyed supermini in its back catalogue, and the Adam is unquestionably an interesting thing to behold.
Interesting good or interesting bad?
Good, we think. It might look a little derivative in photos, but - specced with restraint, at least - the Adam is a smart little car. Our favourite colour combo is a black body with off-white roof, which makes the Adam look like a happy pint of Guinness.
Who doesn't want to drive around in a happy pint of Guinness?
Exactly. If you can handle the whole Glam/Slam/Splat branding stuff, this is a well-priced, well-built, posh little city car worthy of your consideration. And, best of all, there's an all-electric version on the way.
Yep. It's called the eDam.

I have an American Bulldog and previously a Rottweiler, both of these dogs have been tissue eaters. I could say that it is boredom but they do it right in front of your eyes. Mystery.

My brother has the dog from hell. Actually, he is very sweet, but they cannot leave anything around or he eats it, bags, coffee grounds, beans and all. Yes, this dog has eaten entire loaves of bread while still in the plastic bags, tried to eat a bag of screws, nuts, bolts, bag too. He has eaten boxes of candy and box, socks, underwear, you name it, he does it. Why and what makes him do it I don't know, a mental defect I suppose. They have taken him to the vet, to no avail. I know, you all think this is funny, until you have had to clean up the mess for the umteenth time. Disgusting. The dog eats his dog food, gets water, treats, but still eats anything in sight. I caught him eating a bar of soap. I think the dog has gone mental.

My huband and I decided to grill some jalapeno poppers on the bbq one nice summer day. We made 24 of them.. they looked and smelt great. Had cream cheese in the middle of them and a slice of bacon on the outside. We stepped out of the kitchen for a few minutes, and my Irish Setter snagged ALL 24 of them off of the counter. We rushed her to our vet (who saved her life) and pumped out her stomach.. Afterwards, he asked me for the recipe... :)

While I was sick with a cold, and has to constantly blow my nose I had a trash bag full of my snout tissues in there. The next day I found the trash bag dragged underneath my bed, all the snout tissues were shredded up and I saw my dog eating it, and she even had a tissue stuck to one side of her mouth! Gross!!!

Well I have a topper for ya! My Mastiff/German Shepherd 9 month old pup liked metal. He at aluminum cans, a metal Sylicone tube, wires that he pulled out of the walls of my house, the trailer wires off my boat, and yes he ate all other non-edible things too!!! Pine cones, sticks, wood, tarps, paper, my horses tails, plastic, anything he could get his grubby little teeth on.

I always have to make sure that my panties are securely hidden in the clothes hamper because my lab will sniff them out and chew them up. Oh, and I once had to help her get an 8" piece of (thin) rope out of her butt!

So, if it isn't food, your dog shouldn't eat it. Really??? My dog shouldn't eat rocks? Wow, I figured rocks were perfectly OK for any living being's diet. This is the most brilliant article I've ever read!! Maybe I'll stop eating rocks, too!! (puke)

Angel the black lab ate $60 and pooped it out. A $120 calculator. SWALLOWED A WHOLE SOCK and pooped it out whole. She also ate lots of paper and tissues and pooped some out. Shes picked glass christmas ornaments off the christmas tree and snacked on them - OUCH! When she was a puppy we would come home and find shoes, electronics, bills, paper and everything else torn apart! Luckily she didnt touch furniture! She'll take anything out of your hand and run with it! LABS EAT ANYTHING THEY CAN SWALLOW!

I noticed that in medieval movies and TV shows, when there is a big battle happening, groups of archers always synchronize their firing. I was wondering if this is something that writes made up and it eventually got picked up as how it is done, or did groups of archers actually do this.
The reason I ask is because it doesn't make any sense to me why archers would do that because there only slowing them self's down when they could be firing as fast as they possibly can. Maybe there is something I'm overlooking that someone can shade lights on.

Sorry if I was a little harsh. If you had said that you were doing because of financial issues, I probably would have held off.
I guess I'm used to nearly all special interest forums I'm having a "no classified ads" policy for new users unless they've been on the site for a while or have posted a specified number of messages before posting an ad.
I guess I also have a think about people who post messages with headers offering books for sale and then find out that they're just linking to Ebay auctions. It just makes the person look like the only reason they're coming here is for personal gain, not to contribute to the community.
I am not the moderator here, so I don't make the rules, but I do reserve the right to complain about behavior that irritates me (just as everyone complains about mine). This forum's moderator is the most mellow and bestest moderator in the entire world, and almost nothing gets him frazzled.
Anyway, welcome to the site and I wish you the best of luck in dealing with your financial situation...we've all been there, and some of us (like me) never seem to get out of them....
