This is the ride-on loader and backhoe that allows children to dig and dump sand into the included trailer. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, the articulated loader and backhoe are controlled by levers and handles that are easy for small hands to pull and push, enabling young construction workers to dig holes for imaginary building foundations or excavation projects. The pedal-powered machine allows operators to quickly navigate construction sites and haul loads with the trailer, while the steering wheel horn warns other workers of their presence. The high-impact resin frame ensures years of use and the oversized resin tires with durable rubberized treads provide traction on sand, dirt, grass, or pavement. The machine's locking kickstand provides stability so young operators can dig confidently, and the�fully enclosed chain drive system ensures pant legs won't get caught while pedaling. With an adjustable seat. Ages 3 and up. 78 3/4" L x 26 3/4" W x 17 3/4" H. (19 3/4 lbs.)

Wow this is an awesome digger truck!
By KG in Massachusetts
from Massachusetts
My 2 1/2-year-old was thrilled when he saw this truck Christmas morning! He has been riding it all around the house toting different objects. I loved it because it had more features than any of the others that I have seen. It has the scoop in the front, the digger in back and a trailer behind. All are detachable, so it is more moveable if we want to take it in the car. It was very easy for him to figure out with some guidance. He can't wait to dig in the snow this winter, and the sand this summer! My only complaint is that the assembly took a long time. There are a lot of pieces, and it's a big item, so it is expected. Please note that in the directions, it does not tell you that the axle rods for the wheels are actually on the wheelbarrow, and need to be removed for assembling the wheels. This is for step one, but it does not mention this until later in the directions. I was worried when I first begun to assemble it that I was missing the axles,but I figured it out. Pfew! Great purchase!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Difficult Assembly
By Jo
from PA
This product seems very durable but it was very difficult to assemble. Be sure to leave plenty of time to do so.
What a great toy!
By Britton
from Utah
My son just turned 2. He absolutely loves his tractor. He loves to go dig rocks up and put it in the bucket and dump. This is well worth the money. It took me about an hour or so to assemble.
Very well made...Worth the price
By Sam
from Geneva, Il
Not easy to assemble...After an hour and 15 min. about 30% was done...I called my neighbor for help...We finished the rest in 45 min...He's a mechanical engineer.
so far so good, not given to our Grandson yet
By Steph
from Syracuse, NY
assembly was quite an adventure
A nice toy, but the assembly instructions are abysmal.
By Boo Bob

About Me Grandparent
Instructions for assembly are the worst I've ever seen. Once assembled, it's a fun toy.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
It's great except for the assembly

About Me Working Parent
This is a gift for my nephew for xmas. I wanted it assembled prior to him unwrapping it.... because I know he will want to already play and get on it as soon as he sees it. It arrived in a large but light weight box. The instructions for assembly are horrible. There's no words, just pictures... and some are hard to make out. It took my mother and I just over 2 hrs to figure out and put together. Once together it was nice and sturdy.
Too many pieces with no detailed instructions
By Grammy
from Houston, TX
Too time consuming, too difficult to assemble. Not worth the $$$
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We apologize for the trouble you had assembling this digger. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-321-1484 so we can return this item for you.
Great toy.Horrible instructions
By Buck Paradise
from Cherry Hill, NJ
I assumed for this price the toy would come assembled. There is no mention that assembly is required. The instructions were terrible and lacking for some of the components
By Gretch
from Salt Lake City, UT
The instructions weren't bad but not overly intuitive.

Southern Authors Share Their Thanksgiving Traditions
The story of the South is brighter than October leaves in the lower Appalachians, louder than a University of Alabama football game, sweeter than a glass of iced tea, and smoother than a Willie Nelson ballad. This tale is rooted in tradition, defined by family, and punctuated with holiday splendor.
Our favorite Southern storytellers masterfully explore the memories, the moments, and the momentum that define our region and our people. Their award-winning novels and prose illustrate the magic of a culture that's both tenacious and tender, reminding readers that the south is simultaneously steadfast and ever-changing.
In celebration of the season and the spirit of Southern Living, these authors share the Thanksgiving customs that shape their voices, their craft, and their stories.
Thanksgiving is a time of reflection, a place to stop in the chaos, a resting spot. Our Henry family spends this holiday on a small island in South Carolina, Daufuskie Island, where our children grew up running wild in the woods and on the beaches. We all gather, anywhere from ten to twenty-two of us, in one place apart from the world to eat and laugh and take long walks. There's the usual fare: turkey, stuffing, green beans, and my mother-in-law's secret family recipe for oyster casserole. There's football on TV and music in the background, a puzzle on the table and crafts for the little ones, but the real meaning of the holiday is hidden inside the stories told out loud. Because we can email and send photos and follow each other on social media, but our real life takes place in the stories, in the cadence of language, the twitch of an eye, the laughter gathered in the folds of Grandma's face, or the deep breath over or under words that means something more. For us, Thanksgiving offers the time and space for family to reconnect.
– Patti Callahan Henry, author of The Idea Of Love
New Orleans is a city centered around two things — family and food. (And music, but that's a story for another time.) After a couple of hundred years, our traditions have melded into one big way of life. For the most part, everyone knows how to cook. We talk about food a lot. And we like parties. So Thanksgiving is the ultimate family celebration that brings together everything we love.
For the past ten years, our extended family has gathered at our home. My husband leaves Thanksgiving eve to spend the night downriver at his hunting camp in preparation for the annual Thanksgiving morning duck hunt. He brings home a bounty of teal that he dresses with bacon and smokes along with the turkey. In the meantime, I have set the table with the fine china and silver that stays closeted for most of the year. We start the day with Bloody Mary's, milk punches or champagne served with the smoked teal, cheese straws, and a baked brie topped with praline sauce. Everyone gatherers in the kitchen to help prepare the sides of sweet potatoes with marshmallows, garlic cheese grits, creamed spinach, cranberry relish and oyster cornbread dressing. We decorate the table with whatever is blooming outside – camellias, azaleas, winter roses, holly. Lately, our centerpiece features what we call our 'pumpkin turkey' surrounded by kumquats that I've trimmed from the tree in our backyard. We don't usually sit down for Thanksgiving dinner until two or three in the afternoon, giving us a good five hours to catch up and reminisce. Afterwards, we retreat to the family room to watch football, eat pecan pie, and think about what a wonderful day it has been.
What makes a Southern Thanksgiving particularly distinctive? It's all about pitching in, sharing our thoughts and dreams, and remembering what we have to be thankful for, because in the end, that's what family is all about. But in New Orleans, we don't just celebrate on Thanksgiving Day. We celebrate all year long.
– Laura Lane McNeal, author of Dollbaby
On every Thanksgiving as far back as I can remember—and that's more than half a century now—twenty to thirty people have arrived at my parent's house in San Marcos, Texas, bringing various desserts and side dishes. My mother cooks a turkey, cornbread dressing and sweet potatoes and my brother usually provides a wild turkey he's killed on our family place in Bandera County. Most of the guests are family or life-long friends, but there are always newcomers who join us because their own families are too far away. The general rule is that anyone can bring anyone, as long as they bring food. Heated political discussions are banned. We've had visitors from the UK, Australia, Ethiopia, and Pakistan, and for many it's their first American Thanksgiving. Now that my father is deceased it's my mother who calls everyone together and introduces the guests and talks about changes in the lives of any of us in the past year: marriages, losses, new jobs, new babies born, degrees earned. She ends with a reminder about suffering in the wider world and the gifts of warmth, good food and companionship that bless our gathering. – Elizabeth Crook, author of Monday, Monday
My nephew Tommy was eight, and into history, when my father asked him to say grace before our Thanksgiving meal. It became tradition.
At ten, Tommy went upstairs to his grandmother's Wisconsin study and typed his Thanksgiving blessing on her Mac. He summoned the majesty of a public prayer, delivered in a fifth grader's grammar and spelling. He printed it out and read it to us before the cutting of the turkey, the clinking of glasses, the telling of stories.
"We come here today," Tommy began," to not only celebrate the pilgrims' success of finding the new world of which they were freely aloud to worship…but to give thanks for food, water, a house to sleep in, a country that doesn't have war inside it." His was an ecumenical blessing, befitting the three generations at the table. Some of us were raised Catholic, one Methodist, two Unitarian Universalist. My father was visibly moved.
Two years later, we sat down to our first Thanksgiving without my father, a voice of enthusiasm and creativity and laments and plans, suddenly gone. He died that summer of an infection that went to his heart. "As we are here together," my nephew read aloud, "though subtracted one…" He offered thanks for shelter, food, a new Labrador puppy, for our family.
"And for the bond of love through hardship." In one sentence, he broke my heart and began to mend it.
My nephew is 16 now and goes by Thomas. Other hardships have visited our family. So has joy.
I don't know what his words of gratitude will be this year. I do know, every year, the best part of our Thanksgiving meal. It is grace.
– Marja Mills, author of The Mockingbird Next Door
I am a Southerner from Louisiana, which, as you probably know, is not at all like being a Southerner from any other state. I served my first panicked Thanksgiving dinner for twelve guests at age twenty-one shortly after I married and moved to Missouri with my husband (from Florida!–which is nothing like Louisiana). All of my guests were from elsewhere: San Francisco, New York City, Cleveland, and so as I grew increasingly alarmed at the task I began reading about, shopping for, and largely preparing on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, I decided simply to re-interpret the holiday for these non-southern guests! All that really entailed was simply declaring that mashed potatoes never made an appearance at a Southern Thanksgiving, which was true in Louisiana. I had no idea how to make mashed potatoes, but I was utterly comfortable producing a large quantity of rice–a staple of my growing up–to be slathered with the one other necessity of Thanksgiving dinner–more important than the turkey, in my opinion: wonderful, deep brown gravy, which was a snap to take on after years and years of watching my grandmother make a roux! As a result mashed potatoes is simply not ever on my menu, which caused one guest from Idaho several years ago to burst into tears. Since then I've kept a box of instant mashed potatoes on hand for emergencies!
– Robb Forman Dew, author of Being Polite to Hitler
So maybe I lived in the sole southern household that didn't place Thanksgiving one notch below Christmas/Easter, and one ahead of Halloween, or April Fools' Day. I was an only child. My mother's relatives lived in Michigan, my father's mostly in graveyards, prisons, and mental institutions. We lived in South Carolina. Sure, my mom and/or dad cooked a turkey. We had dressing that included oysters for some reason. Yams. Ocean Spray jelled cranberry sauce that slid out of the can like a sinking ocean liner. Maybe some green beans or squash casserole, something like that. I remember creamed corn–lots of creamed corn spreading across the plate like an advancing army. Chilled water in special crystal glasses that came out only on Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and April Fools' Day. My mother baked a special cranberry bread that involved walnuts so impenetrable that one of the dentists' associations awarded the Walnut Growers of America a commendation.
My father had an Aunt May. So she was my Great Aunt May. She never married, so that kind of made her Great Old Maid Aunt May. Anyway, being a spinster single great aunt who worked at a place called H. L. Green as a bespectacled bookkeeper and maybe stood four-foot-nine, she didn't have much else to do in life but crochet bottle caps together into trivets suitable for too-hot Jenny Lind 1785 Royal Staffordshire England plates and whatnot, maybe for a serving dish of yams, or a turkey, or nuclear-hot creamed corn. She gave these trivets to my mother, who–I found out years later–thought them atrocious at best.
My father went and picked up his aunt, and brought her back to Greenwood, South Carolina, for Thanksgiving–as I remember–every year until her death when I was in college. My mother reluctantly brought out the trivets (though I didn't know how reluctant at the time). I reached for the creamed corn, but I became mesmerized by these crocheted things stoically holding up food containers so hot that they could've set the table afire. They lacked real color outside of plain brown and off-green, they flopped around like air-needful fish, but they'd been so meticulously sewn–if that's the right word–that I couldn't fathom the handiwork involved.
That's my Thanksgiving memory. It ain't about family squabbles or love between Pilgrims and Native Americans. Sorry. I can't do any better.

A/N: Written for this prompt on the glee_kink_meme: "Five times Finn made Will feel like a dirty old man and Five times Finn made Will feel like a kid again." Although it became more than five, obviously. And more fluffy/romantic than sexy. And kind of... plotty. And I did this whole 'all dialogue' experiment.
Words of the Age
"You... want me to join the Glee club?"
"Do you hate me?"
"No. Didn't we just have this conversation?"
"Dude, I can't sing."
"Finn, I've heard you sing. You have an amazing natural talent. And I'm the one blackmailing you, so I get to decide whether or not you can sing."
"How have you heard me sing? I only sing in the shower... and watching me there would be kind of creepy..."
"Uh... I'm sure I must have heard you at some point. Maybe you were singing under your breath or something."
"Oh. Okay. If you say so."
"So how was that, Mr. Schue?"
"Finn, that was... amazing."
"Actually, Mr. Schuester, I think Finn could improve his vocal ability for that song by–"
"We'll focus on the details later, Rachel; the important part of the performance was communicating the mood and emotion of the piece. And you handled that perfectly."
"...How rude."
"Uh, thanks, Mr. Schue..."
"...This was awkward, wasn't it?"
"Kinda, yeah."
"You okay, Mr. Schuester? You look... slightly flushed..."
"What, Rachel? Oh, no, it's just hot in here."
"Dude, you grabbed my leg."
"During your dance thing. I mean, I get it – I move like a freight train most of the time. Just... are you allowed to do that? 'Cause I remember this English teacher I had in middle school who wouldn't let us hand our papers in directly to her; she had this special tray because she couldn't like, risk touching us by holding the same bit of paper, so..."
"Oh, uh... There are all sorts of restrictions and 'suggestions'... I'm not exactly forbidden to touch students, but it's not encouraged. Still, it's dancing, and things like that... happen."
"Okay. Cool."
"You just don't understand our love!"
"Shush it Finn; they'll get me fired."
"Hey, you were the one who started waltzing me."
"Hear comes the bride, who isn't actually a bride, how do I make this fit to the tempo of the so-ong..."
"Do you know the real words to that song, Wheels?"
"No. Do you, Puck? Does anyone?"
"We really should stop this before I get fired. Or before you break my foot."
"...This is my pouting face."
"Say cheese, guys!"
"Ack! Quinn!"
"Now I have blackmail material over you for like, ever Mr. Schue."
"...There are no words for how inappropriate this is..."
"Yeah, but we love you anyway. Now hands off my boyfriend."
"Mr. Schue, I screwed up."
"It's okay. Stop crying and we'll talk."
"Sorry, I shouldn't be like, blubbering on you..."
"It's okay. I'm here, whatever you need."
"Look, it's girly and pathetic, but... Can you hug me again?"
"I... maybe I shouldn't..."
"Okay, this is dumb..."
"Look, Finn, come here..."
"You know, the food here is terrible."
"Terrible food is distracting. Distraction is good."
"What, am I that bad a conversationalist?"
"Haha. Fuck, I think I'm missing fifth period."
"I'll write you a note."
"William Schuester, you rebel. You didn't even go off at me for swearing."
"I encourage freedom of speech. Is your food less terrible than mine?"
"Dude you just stole my food!"
"I stole a square inch, Finn, you'll survive."
"...Mr. Schue, everyone's staring at us now."
"...Crap. Thank god no-one we know goes here."
"Wait, what is it?"
"They think... this is a date."
"You mean it's not? You just broke my heart."
"Haha. I'll try to keep my job, thank you very much."
"It's okay, I understand. Money is more important than me."
"...It's good you're smiling."
"What? Oh. You know, I hadn't thought about that for like, two seconds."
"Er. Sorry. Do you think if I'm being a silly dating teenager, I'm allowed to not pay the bill?"
"Again – rebel."
"Finn. It's two AM."
"I know."
"You're standing at the door of my apartment."
"I know."
"...How did you even find out where this place is?"
"Rachel told me. After she screamed my head off for half an hour about waking her up at one AM. Then she spent the next fifteen minutes cooing how sorry she felt for me, which, nice idea but really didn't make me feel any better."
"...Must stop getting students to stalk me. Finn, what are you doing here? Do you have any idea how inappropriate this must look? You're fifteen, for god's sakes; you just broke up with your girlfriend, and then you show up at your recently separated 32-year-old male teacher's house at two AM? What the hell do you think people will think?"
"...I dunno. I just... wanted to see you. Talk to you. This... it's hard. I thought you might understand; you know, with your wife and the baby and all."
"...I'm sorry, this was stupid, I'll go."
"No, wait. I mean... You can stay if you want to."
"It's like, it all fucking sucks, you know? And I know I wasn't always perfect – like, anything to do with Rachel, for example – but this is just a sucking suckfest of sucktacularity. And I try to do the right thing and be like, fair in the mind, and think about how I fucked it up too and what she was feeling, but then I'm like, who cares what she was feeling, because she screwed my best friend and lied to me for like, ever, and that's just not cool."
"Uh huh."
"And what about him, huh? I mean, Puck can be kind of a dick sometimes, but he was all about bros before hoes, you know? And then, oh no, I'll knock up your girlfriend now – and did you see him at Glee? Did he seem even a little bit guilty? Fuck no. Son of a bitch. Uh... sorry to vent at you, Mr. Schue."
"It's okay. I think venting is down there with food and shelter when it comes to human needs."
"Oh. Okay. It's cool. It's just like... you'd usually vent this kind of crap to your best friend, but I don't really have a best friend for the first time in like, years, so can I use you?"
"Of course. Sure."
"Thanks. And sorry about waking you up at two in the morning. Speaking of the whole best friend thing, and waking people up, mind if I crash? My mom will freak if I come back home at this time of night."
"I'm going to regret this, but sure."
"Mr. Schue, you're staring."
"What? Am not!"
"You kind of were. Now... Dude, eyes up here. It's not even like your looking at my boobs... because I don't have them... anyway, the floor is not that interesting. Eye contact is good; at least that's what my English teacher always says. Remind me, which one of you bastards invented oral presentations?"
"...I wasn't staring."
"Um... okay... Mr. Schue, are you okay? You're all... red..."
"I'm fine, Finn."
"Should I like, get the nurse or something?"
"I'm not one of you kids, Finn. Besides, we still don't have a nurse."
"Mr. Schue–"
"Could you just go please?"
"This is the bit where you freak and send me off like yesterday, isn't it?"
"Given this is a little more serious than yesterday – you just kissed me – it really is. I'm just waiting for my freakout to arrive. Should show up any second now."
"Oh. Um. Is it there yet?"
"Nah. Now I'm just... giddy. Funny, it's never usually this late."
"Well, uh, while we're waiting..."
"Wha– mmph!"
"Finn. You're not serious."
"Come on, Will. It's been three months. I'm not a virgin. We've done pretty much everything but. This... is what I want."
"You're not even eighteen yet, Finn; I'm not a criminal."
"Well, no – I googled it; the age of consent here is actually sixteen. You watch too much TV, and that must be the first time I've ever had to say that to you."
"Look, Finn–"
"Dude, if you don't want to do it, we don't have to. I think there are like, rules against that sort of thing. And if not, my mom would kick my ass. It's trying to be the good guy here – I want to, and I think you want to too, but if you're not ready to, for whatever reason – well, I'm cool with it. I did date the head of the celibacy club, after all."
"Thanks. This is just... scary. Not just to because I'm always looking over my shoulder to see if anyone knows and is going to destroy my life. The thing is – you are seventeen. I'm thirty-three. You're in my Spanish class, for god's sakes. I'm never going to stop thinking of you as kid fully; I'm trying, but it won't sink in. I'm really not sure it ought to. So no, the rest of the world aren't the only ones terrified this is me taking advantage of you – I'm always scared I'm hurting you some how, and doing whatever I can to avoid it. And the further we go, the harder it is. I'm trying to be really, really cautious about all this. You understand that?"
"Yeah. It's actually really romantic and shit. I said I'm cool."
"Thanks. And stop being all mature and crap; you know it turns me on."
"I'm taking that as a compliment."
"You do that."
"So it was okay? Santana totally bitched me out when we..."
"Wait, you and Santana? When?"
"Didn't I tell you about that? I was sure I told Rachel. Anyway, she was like, my first – last year, bit after the whole debacle with Quinn and Puck, then Jesse and Rachel. Seemed like a good idea at the time."
"Dude, you okay? You've gone all pouty."
"It's just... nothing."
"...Are you jealous? Because, dude, you were married for like, five years. I think that's a little hypnetical."
"That's not a word, Finn."
"Well, there was something Rachel once said that meant 'you lying judgey bastard, you did the exact same thing'."
"That's it."
"Seriously, though."
"...I guess. I don't mean to be. I mean, I kind of guessed you wouldn't be... Still. I don't know."
"It's okay. Rachel was kinda the same; she screamed my head off for it, though. Although that was kind of because I lied about it."
"Rachel was a fifteen year old girl, I think her expectations would be a little different to mine. Which leaves us with the question of why I'm acting like a pouty brooding teenager right now."
"Clearly, my mad sex skills have warped your mind."
"If it's any consolation, I have totally had elaborate fantasies of torturing your ex-wife in a fit of jealousy... Which is really mean, because she's awesome and really nice and like, didn't fire me for that time I set the shop on fire."
"We'll have to agree to disagree on that one."
"Er. Yeah. Awkward."
"I'll live."
"You're cuddling. You big girl."
"Shut up. Who are you, Puck?"
"Wow. We are like, the worst at the morning after ever. We just keep going on about other people."
"Eh. As long as you don't lose your soul and run away murder everyone and start smoking, we could do worse."
"Wait, you got that reference?"
"Dude, you would not believe how often Mercedes shows up at our house with her DVDs. Kurt gets annoyed with it too."
"I can't do this anymore."
"Wait, what?"
"This. Us."
"Wait, what did I do–"
"Nothing, Finn. Look, yesterday, there was a conference about inappropriate teacher-student relationships, and Sue brought up that she was watching everyone closely – I just about pissed myself in fear! We were stupid to think this could ever work. If we don't stop, someone will find out it will ruin everything for everyone. I was being selfish and stupid by..."
"You were being stupid and selfish? What was I? Like, a sockpuppet?"
"You... were an unfortunate victim. A vulnerable teenager I should never have done anything with. I'm sorry, Finn."
"What? No! You and I both know the kind of bullshit that is. I love you. I love you and you love me, and we've already made sure of that, so what's the big deal? Who cares what anyone else thinks?"
"I care. I need my job. I need my reputation. I need my self-respect. And this... it goes against all of them."
"So, what you're saying is – you care about what people think more than you love me? Because, wow, way to fuck up those 'be yourself' messages elementary school drills into your head."
"For christ's sakes, Finn! Stop acting like this is me worrying that I might get made fun of! That would be a little hypocritical, given why you dumped Rachel that time–"
"Wow, personal attack much?"
"–but the point is, this is about obeying the laws and systems. This is about not having to worry and feel guilty until forever. This is about letting you have some kind of normal life. Isn't any of this sinking in?"
"No. Sorry. I look at it and all I can see is you breaking my heart because you're a fucking coward."
"For christ's sakes–"
"Sorry, I know. I'm overreacting. I'm being irrational. But hey, I'm a teenager, right? We're all weepy and angry and selfish and – hormones. How could we ever be asked to make a mature decision on things?"
"It's okay, Mr. Schuester. Sir. I'm sure I'll get in trouble for being disrespectful to a teacher, but that happens. I'll see you in class. Or Glee. Something."
"Gotta run. I have an assignment to finish."
"Hey, Emma."
"Sorry to just barge in, it's just... I don't have anyone else to talk to. I can't really say the vast majority of it to you, but..."
"It's okay. Uh, what did you want to...?"
"It... It's stupid. And likely more than a little awkward, given our... history."
"I'll live."
"It's just... I was seeing someone. And we broke up. The relationship was a secret anyway, so I can't tell anyone that's why I'm upset – people keep asking; Brittany thought my puppy had died or something – and... I knew it was the right thing to do, that it would give... this person... a better chance, but I didn't do it because I wanted to. I'm still in love with him, and vice versa, and I know I just broke his heart. And... I just completely accidentally outed my less-than-heterosexuality. Oops."
"Oh god."
"What? Is that... Sorry, this was–
"No, I don't have any opinion on your sexuality. It's just... This was because of that conference we all held, it little to no provocation, on inappropriate student-teacher relationships? Aka the one which was a massive prank on you because we had all figured out you were having an affair with Finn Hudson, and wanted to make you scream like a little girl in fear? That one?"
"And you just dumped him because getting found out was too big a risk, so you're both heartbroken and still madly in love?"
"That pretty much sums it up, yeah."
"It's not your fault. Wait, why are you all okay with this anyway?"
"Will, everyone can see – just from the way you two look at each other – this is not some pervert taking advantage of student."
"Could you have told me that sooner? Because I've spent the last six months worrying that was exactly what I was being."
"Well, nobody thinks you are. And it's kind of an open secret that half the faculty here have slept with one student or another – Noah Puckerman's name frequently gets circled – so if you went down, I doubt it would do anyone much good."
"Oh. Well, thanks, I guess. Part of me is still determined to be outraged at that, but yeah, the words 'big fucking hypocrite' do mean something to me."
"Okay. So, you think you have much of a chance of getting him back?"
"Back? Maybe. Probably not. He was... pretty mad about what I said. He said I broke his heart."
"Of course you did, it was a break-up. Namely a break-up where you acted rashly due to the pressure of peers, regretted it, ran away to your best friend to complain and made the whole 'I want him back' decision. The collective immaturity probably makes the whole thing a lot less icky."
"...Are we best friends?"
"You got a better label?"
"Thanks, Emma. And I am not immature."
"I hate you."
"Finn, could I speak to you–"
"Sorry, Mr. Schue, Mom and Burt ordered us to be back home right after Glee."
"No they didn–"
"They asked me to tell Kurt. Guess I forgot to."
"Yeah. Anyway, it's nothing that important? I mean, if it's a school thing, you can pass it on. And if it's not a school thing – well, why would you need to say it to me anyway?"
"See you, Mr. Schue."
("No, Kurt, there's nothing going on.")
"Yeah. I know singing a song to win you back was cliched, but it seemed like it would work. Given us and music and everything."
"Um, unless you forgot this bit – you dumped me."
"Yes. I did that because I was terrified of anyone finding out about us; namely, by fellow staff members getting me fired. Except it turned out my fellow staff members all already knew, and were pulling my leg with that conference thing – they actually thing we're good together. I mean, everyone's still refusing to acknowledge it publicly, and we're trying like hell to make sure the students never find out, but... That's not the point. I miss you."
"So, you only want me back because people don't think the way you thought they thought and whoa, that's a confusing sentence. Anyway, you're still not picking me over what they think."
"Look, I was being stupid, okay? I panicked. I told you how scared I get about the possibility I might be hurting you – I've always believed those rules were in place for a reason, so it's hard to reconcile that with our flagrant disregard for them."
"Dude, words."
"How we break them."
"Don't roll your eyes at me. I just – I don't want to have our thing go on forever with me being a kid to you. It won't work that way, and I know it. You stopped being 'Mr. Schuester' months ago."
"I know. You know it broke my heart when you called me that?"
"Yeah, that was kind of the point."
"So... Are we back together?"
"Cool. This whole thing has taught me I'm immature enough that it really shouldn't be a problem anyway."
"Dude, I think Kurt suspects you."
"Please don't make me feel even more like a criminal, Finn. Avoid the word 'suspect'. And what?"
"Well, I keep denying it, but he kind of figured out I was seeing someone ages ago. He didn't really care, because he's been over me for a while. That, or his acting's gotten a lot better. Still, the way he looks at us in Glee – he knows something's up, man."
"Only took him, what, seven months? Fuck. What do you think he'll do?"
"I dunno. He might be a stickler for the rules. He might reckon you're taking advantage–"
"He's go after me to protect you. You know, the big brother complex isn't usually that depressing."
"Christ. Sorry. I didn't mean to..."
"I know. It's just still kind of a sore spot."
"Mr. Schuester, we need to talk.
My very recent stepbrother has acquired several hickeys and suspicious markings on his person between last night and today, when he snuck out, and by an extraordinary coincidence so do you. He has shown rather unique insight into your personal life several times, and each time indicated he should not have had it immediately after saying it. Of course, any romantic or sexual relationship between the two of you would be banned by the school, if not by law. Finn has emotions; he can be hurt. I have seen it happen many times, and admittedly, have been responsible for a little of it. So, if some circumstances were to cause you to break his heart, I would be very displeased. I happen to be Head Cheerio, and hence the protege of a woman whose hatred for your personality and all you stand for is matched only by her hatred of your hair. I'm sure, if I pushed enough – that is, at all – we could get you fired and/or arrested very easily. However, if this relationship continues the way it seems to be – where you two are good together, and you make him happy – I can only approve, and blackmail Coach Sylvester with my cheerleading skills when she tries to use it against you. If he does get hurt, though, you will learn that I can pull the overprotective big brother act just as well as anyone who isn't younger, only a step-relative and at least a foot short than the relevant parties. And I can do it a lot more effectively. Do I make myself understood?"
"Yes. Sir."
"Good. And everyone, stop gaping. Like we didn't figure out about them months ago."
"Did you really have to give me that speech in front of the entire club?"
"Do you wish to test me, Will?"
"No sir."
"Will, I have to study for finals. Your fault – it's this school bitch which is making me graduate. I have to take a language for some reason; mind explaining that to me?"
"Oh, sorry. I should hang up and let you study. Bye–"
"Dude, you're my boyfriend! It's your job to distract me at the worst possible time from studying! Otherwise I–"
"Finn? Finn?"
"What? I'm back!"
"You were flailing wildly and dropped the phone again, didn't you?"
"Shut up."
"Anyway, I really should go. If only because it's still creeping me out that my boyfriend is studying for the exam for the subject I taught him."
"Hey, soon that won't be a problem anymore."
"Graduation. Wow. I was pretty sure the world would end before this."
"Well, it didn't, because I'm awesome. And can you please distract me? Or at least help me study?"
"I'm not sure if I should – it could count as using this relationship for academic gain, which we have strictly ruled against."
"Fine. Then you owe me phone sex!"
"What? I've given you blue balls enough due to academic failure that Kurt has an acronym for it; don't you think academic success is correlated with getting off too?"
"I have to take English too, dude."
"Oh. And no, I am not having phone sex with you when you should be studying. Goodbye."
"Here's looking at you, kid."
"Everyone's gone."
"They're waiting outside. They want us to have our first we-don't-have-to-pretend-we're-not-together-yay moment alone."
"Wow. We really kept this up for, like, a year and a half?"
"Holy shit, when did it become a year and a half?"
"Um, on our one year, six month anniversary?"
"You know you love me."
"I doubt we'd have a one year, six month anniversary if I didn't."
"Does it count as a one year, six month anniversary if we broke up after six months then got back together?"
"...You know, I've never actually checked."
"Anyway, we are officially any high school romance now. And we totally need to have a crazy graduation make-out session."
"You and your hormones. You are such a teenager."
"Okay, when did you become okay with joking about our age difference?"
"I don't know, does it matter? We really should be making out by this point."
"Yeah, but you've always talked too much."
"And you don't? Hypocrite."
"I can't remember what that means again. Something to do with our first time?"
"...If I was a teenage girl, I would genuinely be swooning right now."
"Swoon! The power of my awesome commands you!"
"Again: talking too much."

1998 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Study objective: To define the prevalence of colonization and infection of the lower respiratory tract (LRT) with Aspergillus in lung transplant recipients with and without cystic fibrosis (CF).
Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: Large university lung transplant center.
Materials and methods: The postoperative course of 31 CF and 53 non-CF double lung or double lobar transplant recipients receiving allografts from April 1991 to February 1996 was reviewed. All recipients were subjected to surveillance bronchoscopy and biopsy at predetermined intervals and when clinically indicated. BAL fluid (BALF) and biopsy material were examined by appropriate fungal culture and staining techniques. Infection was defined by the finding of tissue-invasive disease on biopsy specimens.
Results: Seven of the 31 CF recipients (22%) had Aspergillus isolated from cultures of sputum prior to transplantation. Following transplantation, 15 CF recipients (48%) had Aspergillus isolated from either sputum or BALF, including 4 of the 7 recipients identified with the fungus prior to transplantation. By contrast, 21 of the 53 non-CF recipients (40%) had Aspergillus isolated from the LRT following transplantation, none having had the fungus isolated prior to transplantation. The prevalence of Aspergillus did not differ between these groups (p = 0.51). Infections with Aspergillus occurred in 4 of the CF recipients (27%) and did not differ from the 3 infections (14%) identified in the non-CF recipients (p = 0.36). However, three of the four infections in the CF recipients involved the healing bronchial anastomosis and occurred prior to postoperative day 60. All three of these recipients had Aspergillus preoperatively. Postoperative infection was more common in the CF recipients having Aspergillus preoperatively than in those CF recipients without preoperative Aspergillus (p = 0.02).
Conclusions: Isolation of Aspergillus from the LRT following double lung transplantation is common and generally not associated with tissue-invasive disease. Those CF recipients with Aspergillus isolated in cultures of sputum preoperatively are at risk for postoperative infections with this agent. The healing bronchial anastomosis is particularly vulnerable.

I'm right-handed, left-eye dominant. I shoot right-handed and don't have any problems on any weapon. I 'm only slightly left-eye dominant, so I can switch to my right eye when using a scope/etc. without any real issues.
This is a discussion on Question for the cross-dominant shooters within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I'm trying to teach a young-un to shoot the BB gun. He keeps trying to use his left eye, even though he's right-handed. Which hand ...
I'm trying to teach a young-un to shoot the BB gun. He keeps trying to use his left eye, even though he's right-handed. Which hand should I teach him to shoot with?
Option 1 (Left) -- This would match the seemingly dominant eye, and is what I'm leaning toward.
Option 2 (Right) -- This would allow him to use 90+% of the arms in the known world, albeit with a handicap.
What would you prefer and why? Thanks for your help on this one...
I'm right-handed, left-eye dominant. I shoot right-handed and don't have any problems on any weapon. I 'm only slightly left-eye dominant, so I can switch to my right eye when using a scope/etc. without any real issues.
I am right handed and strongly left eye dominant.
Rifle - i use my right eye only, left closed
shotgun - right eye . I try and keep both open, but it's very tough to ignore my left eye. Both eyes open help with moving targets (clays)
pistol - aim with left eye, right open. No problem with open (iron) sights, but a red-dot type is SOOooo nice as the dot only is seen by my left eye.
It works for me.
As he is right handed, dont try and force him to shoot lefty. It will be tough for him (you try it sometime) and just how tough it is to find a LH revolver or boltgun?
I'm left handed and right eye dominant. I normally do all my shooting right-handed. However, I might be a little more reluctant to do the reverse, just because most firearms are set up for right-handers.
From an instructor's point of view, if he's strongly left-eye dominant, teaching him to shoot left handed may be a great benefit in the long run, especially in shotgunning. If you want him to shoot right-handed, try masking the left eye with a piece of thin cardboard or stiff paper rubber banded or taped over the left eye of his safety glasses. This should convince his right eye to take over dominance. On old instructor told me all it takes for him is a smear of Vaseline on the left, and his right eye takes over.
Hope that helps.

Like my father and my first son, I am right handed, strongly left eye dominant. First time my father gave me a BB gun I threw it up on my left shoulder and he laughed. The only time it was a problem was in the army when I would forget to get in the firing line foxhole with the other left handers. And, of course, weapons made for "righties".
I was cross dominant when I was a kid, and luckily had to wear glasses for a couple years. My dad knew I was cross dominant and would smear chapstick or put scotch-tape on the left lens of my glasses. Long story short,...I'm now right eye dominant. It's not the best option for adults, but for kids it's a pretty good one. Unless of course, they have functional problems with the non-dominant eye like astygmatism. For handguns it's not a big deal but if you want him to learn how to be proficient with long guns you either have to switch eye dominance or teach him to shoot lefty.
I'm a righty, but left eyed. I can shoot with my right eye if I keep my left one closed. I'm horrible if I keep both eyes opened. Decided to start keeping my righ eye closed and try shooting with my dominant eye. All my shots are off the the left. Any suggestions?
Righty, left eye dominant here, I just shoot lefty. It took a bit to get used to shooting lefty with pistols (rifles were natural) but now I have the advantage of being able to easily swap hands for single handed shooting. I'm more faster/accurate shooting lefty, but I never had the weak hand issues shooting righty.

The 45 caliber Speer Gold Dot bullet, any bullet weight, works just fine in my SIG C3 which is essentially the same gun. I did load development testing with 230g Speer Gold Dot bullets and they worked flawlessly over a wide range of powder charges from +P to barely strong enough to cycle.
I keep the feed ramp pristinely clean. I use Bore Tech Eliminator to dissolve the copper jacket material off the feed ramp.

The other day I was thinking about years past and something that happened to me when I was just a young buck. It demonstrates true sportsmanship and, in my mind, tells everyone what we're really all about.
I was fishing a MegaBucks event down on Old Hickory in Tennessee. There was one in 1998 and another in 1999. For the life of me I can't remember which one it was, and it really doesn't make a difference. If you disagree, pick one. You'll have a 50-50 chance of being right so I won't argue with you.
Things were going pretty well. I can't remember if they made a cut in those days after the second or the third day of fishing. Regardless, whenever it was I made it into the Top 30. Was I ever excited, especially considering that I was only allowed to fish it because of a sponsor exemption.
In those days if you made the next cut you ended up fishing fresh water that hadn't been fished during the tournament. That was what I really wanted to do. In my mind then, and now for that matter, that's the truest form of competitive bass fishing — launch and try to find a keeper.
Half my night was spent working on tackle. I must have sharpened every hook in my boat and triple-checked every reel and rod I owned. Everything was organized perfect for the next day. I was ready for anything, or so I thought.
As soon as we launched I raced to my favorite spot. Pedal to the metal as they say. Problem was, when I arrived I saw another competitor's boat sitting right where I wanted to fish. Stunned — that might have been the first time that had ever happened to me in a big tournament — I pulled back on the throttle and slumped down into my seat. Honestly, I didn't know what to do. But the other competitor knew what to do.
He waived — said he didn't mean to take my spot — he was just looking for fresh water — jerked his trolling motor up — and moved on carefully so as not to disturb the fish. He was there first and by rights could have claimed the spot. But he didn't. He left it for me because I had been fishing it in the tournament. I've never forgotten what he did or how I felt when he did it. It was a moment of true, selfless sportsmanship.
More important than what he did for me, however, was what he did for the sport. He showed a young man, by his example, what it means to be a professional bass angler. I've never forgotten that lesson even though I have forgotten a lot of other things about that tournament. I've often wondered how many other guys he's positively influenced over the intervening years.
The angler's name is Mark Menendez. He competes in the Elite Series, lives in Kentucky and is a true professional. I'm proud to fish with him, and I'm proud to call him my friend.

A ROW over plans to build a new sports hall at Fernhill secondary school, Farnborough, has been settled.
Rushmoor Council planners objected to the initial scheme on the grounds that it would cause increased noise and disturbance for nearby residents.
Last week they gave the plan their blessing after agreeing that Hampshire County Council had altered the scheme to their satisfaction. The large hall has now been sited as close as possible to the school to prevent it being an eyesore to people living in Chapel Lane.
Extra car parking has also been provided to ease the pressure on nearby roads when the hall is being used in the evenings.

Admire the most beautiful places of Oristano and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
The birth of the Institute dates back to February 15, 1973 as a section of the State Archives of Cagliari; with the establishment of the province of Oristano, in 1974, became State archive of Oristano. The most significant archives are those of the Court of first instance (1839-1948) of Military District (1880-1927) and of the technical State representative (1850-1912). Among the oldest documents a donation of Judge Peter II of Lacon Serra, dated 1228, belonging to the bottom of the Hospital San Martino Oristano.
Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta (1130). Destroyed in a siege, was rebuilt under the reign of Mariano II. Of the original structure remain only the apse and base of the tower and the chapel of the remedy, which houses some medieval sculptures.
In 1733 the 13th century Gothic Cathedral was demolished to make way for a Baroque. The 17th-century reconstruction of the chapel of the Archivietto. Inside the relics of Sant'Archelao.
The building now houses 1682 municipality offices.
Old town square lined with many historic buildings: Palazzo degli Scolopi (Town Hall), Palazzo paper, Casa de La Ciudad.
In the Center the statue of Eleonora d'Arborea, created by sculptor Ulysses Fields and the architect Mariano Falcini, opened in 1881.
Just near the main shopping streets.
Pedestrian Plaza in the historic center. There is the Torre di Mariano II or St. Christopher Tower or Port to bridges. Built in 1290, was one of the two main entrance doors of the ancient city walls.
Immediately around the shopping streets.
With the Cathedral, the Bell Tower and the Bishop's Palace, the Tridentino Seminary forms an architectural complex. From 1712, until a few years ago, it was the largest building in the city. Close The Piazza Duomo.
Located in the historic centre of Oristano, the Tower of St. Christopher, also called of Mariano II, or Manna, was in medieval times one of the entrance gates to the city. As attested by the inscription at one time placed in the Tower, and now housed in the Antiquarium Arborea was built in 1290. Is one of the few surviving elements of the town walls built by judge Mariano of Arborea II and is the symbol of the city judicial building. Built in sandstone and with an overall height of 28 metres, consists of two overlapping bodies, both with square base. The main body, develops to U with the open

I'm hugely impressed by the level of detail on both the enemies and background elements. This is about the single best user-created level posted so far, I think I can say without too much hyperbole.
June 27, 2008 at 1:07am
I was just about to start my own fire-based level, hopefully it won't seem to be too much of a ripoff!

June 27, 2008 at 1:57am
I haven't played it yet, but it sure looks amazing.
June 27, 2008 at 4:56am
very nice level! good detail and obviously some effort that was put into this great job
June 27, 2008 at 5:09am
Wow. This level is beautiful. The volcanoes and smoke look amazing. Will there be a ship dedicated to this level soon? My one constructive criticism is that I would have liked to see a more involving, difficult boss. Can't wait for the next installment.
June 27, 2008 at 6:13am
I don't know if I'll design a ship. If I plan on doing that, I would also design a bullet pattern for it, then design the whole stage with that bullet pattern in mind.
As for bosses, yeah I already know what the next two are going to be like, and they will be even better. This boss though is super-easy on Rookie and Pilot due to the way the difficulty system affects bullet patterns. The true power of the boss can only be seen in Ace mode, which is pretty brutal. Outside of Ace mode, the boss's attack is thrown out of whack.
June 27, 2008 at 9:28am
Very cool. Liked the boss design. Very good first level!
June 27, 2008 at 9:51am
This stage is very cool. I just played it and had a good time with it.
June 27, 2008 at 10:44am
This looks amazing.
June 27, 2008 at 11:41am
Dude, this level is insane. I liked the overall look of the level, the volcanoes that spout lava, and the (as you so aptly put it) brutal bullet patterns on that end level boss. Definitely looking forward to your next one (after mastering this one on Ace - can't do it w/out 99 lives).
Nice work!

We have never faulted the Newcastle players because of their display yesterday – and the very pleasing thing that needs to be pointed out is that they are giving everything they have on the field and that's why they were applauded by the fans following the game.
Maybe we are just not good enough but to be sure – we cannot fault the players for their effort or attitude – and maybe that's something to build on and something that will see us survive this season.
Steve McClaren yesterday
It's just that the results are not going for us at all at the moment – and it can get very frustrating as a Newcastle fan.
This is what Steve McClaren said in another upbeat comment following the loss yesterday:
"We just said to the players that we won't have a problem if we keep performing like that every week."
"Many people questioned the attitude of these players earlier this season and whether they cared. Of course they do and you saw that today and in recent weeks. I thought we did everything today but win the game.
"It is disappointing and frustrating because we are not getting the results we deserve. But it is all about goals and if you don't score you don't win."
"Their first goal looked offside but he got the decision," "The first 10 minutes of the second period were very disappointing after what I thought was a very good first half."
"It gave us a mountain to climb which the players aimed to do and very nearly did. It was a good performance, but what wins games is at both ends and that has cost us today."
"At the moment that is letting us down and putting us in the position we are in. You can't fault the team, the football, the organisation."
"They are working hard, they are fighting, they are giving everything, but is just shows you with Ighalo and Deeney that you need quality at both ends."
We see in the comments calls for the fans to keep right behind the team and of course that's right – we have to keep supporting the lads, especially when they are doing all they can.
It's now up to those running the club to get a top striker in this next week – and then we should have a decent enough chance of survival if we all pull in the same direction.
Comments welcome.

Yerba Buena Yesterday: 150 Years "South of the Slot"
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
12:30 p.m.
In the 19th century, Yerba Buena was the industrial heart of San Francisco
� the big, rough counterpart to the genteel city emerging to the north.
Many a booster, from William Ralston to Ben Swig, saw �South of the Slot�
as easy pickings for an expansion of the downtown. But it was the struggle
over urban renewal � in which hardscrabble SRO residents organized to
demand affordable housing and fair compensation � that came to define Yerba
Buena�s search for a more inclusive revitalization, driven by affordable
housing, convention services and the arts. Join community advocate and SPUR
Board Member *Brad Paul*, historian and Shaping San Francisco director *Chris
Carlsson*, and SPUR urban designer and curator *Benjamin Grant* for a

Can China transform its triumph of brick and concrete into a model that
will conquer the world? In his book *How the City Moved to Mr. Sun, *architect

greenhouse gasses, and puts further pressure on dwindling energy resources.
Join Roggeveen for this evening forum as he combines insightful analysis
and deeply human stories of modern city life to dissect China�s en masse
growth and the future challenges it poses.

The Employment Minister Jo Swinson was recovering last night after suffering a potentially fatal anaphylactic shock. The 33-year-old Liberal Democrat MP, who has a peanut allergy, said her life was saved by doctors at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital who administered adrenaline shots, oxygen and steroids.
The incident was triggered after she consumed a dish containing peanuts at her home constituency in East Dunbartonshire on Saturday. An allergic reaction resulted in her struggling for breath. The MP took a dose of antihistamine but as the reaction intensified she was rushed to South General Hospital's A&E department.
Ms Swinson said on Twitter on Sunday: "Thankfully now recovered from anaphylaxis episode yesterday: huge appreciation to the fab staff at Southern General for keeping me alive."

Emily: I've wanted to go to Croatia for the last several years. I heard wonderful things about the country and how beautiful (and relatively affordable) it was compared to the rest of Europe. It's located in Eastern Europe and is just a few hours from Venice, Italy, making it a great side trip.
Last year, my friends and I organized a group trip to visit Rovinj, a small coastal town on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. It's a gorgeous town full of romance. Everything is stunning there, from the streets to the houses. The food is also excellent.
We went for a kizomba dance festival. Later in the trip report series, I will introduce you to kizomba and describe what an incredible dance it is! The dance festival was amazing and Croatia is definitely a place I want to return and spend more time exploring! The trip's retail cost was ~$17,000 but I paid ~$900.

After Croatia, I flew to Paris to spend some time dancing there. I had an amazing time! I got to see many of my friends who I had met in Rovinj, and felt like I had a 2nd family already. They were so welcoming and fun to be around…it was so hard to go back to the States.
Lufthansa Flight
I used 70,000 United Airlines miles to book my flight home from Paris to Washington, DC, in Lufthansa Business Class. United Airlines charges more for partner airline Business and First Class awards than it does on their own planes.
I couldn't find available award seats all the way back to Austin, so I decided to spend the weekend in DC and visit my best friend.
For my flight to Austin, I used Southwest points that I transferred from Chase Ultimate Rewards.
The inside of the plane felt spacious.
The plane looked newer.
I settled in for the long flight.
Soon after takeoff, we were served dinner.
The food was alright. I actually much preferred Air Berlin's food in coach!
Bottom Line
Flying on Lufthansa Business Class was a great experience, but I think I would have preferred saving my miles and flying in coach. It costs 70,000 United Airlines miles for a 1-way Business Class ticket on Lufthansa to fly from Paris to the US.
