Are we certain? What doctrine drives this?
I know Obama and Co. decided to skip due process and immediately place all blame for the Ghouta attack on Bashar Assad, but what if they're wrong? What if Assad isn't actually suicidal enough to do the one thing that had been publicly announced as a guaranteed invitation to his very own cruise-missile surprise party? What if, say, a jihadist from Libya somehow got his hands on an old Soviet chem-shell and brought it with him to Syria?
If any of this were true, then any missiles we were to launch, or any lives we were to take, would be in support of whoever truly is responsible for gassing hundreds of innocent civilians. And if we're on the same side as the bad guys, doesn't that make us the bad guys?

The war hawk in the White House, with a Nobel Peace Prize to prove it, sent his bomb salesman out to pedal war on Syria. The last regime was bad enough, but this gang is Bush on steroids. Just as that progressive snob Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin in 2008 — "What is the Bush doctrine?" — I ask my lightweight senators from Minnesota: "What is the Obama doctrine?" … Crickets.

The economic boost fuels a community
An Aug. 26 letter doubting the number of jobs created by Enbridge Energy's proposed pipeline illustrated the ignorance of so many people opposed to projects like this.
In 2009, Enbridge brought a pipeline through the Grand Rapids, Minn., area, and the economic benefits reached far beyond just the wages of the thousands of pipeline workers. These people needed housing, food, entertainment, car repairs, etc. The resulting boost to our local economy was by all estimates millions of dollars. Virtually every business was affected.
I know many liberals do not believe in trickle-down economics, but this was it in its purest form. Our hotels, motels and resorts were full during a time of year that is typically slow. Our restaurants and bars experienced near-record offseason revenues. Auto-repair businesses had record years. The same for gas stations, retail outlets and hardware stores.
All of this translated into more jobs and the influx of millions of dollars into an economy that is primarily tourism-based and seasonal in nature. I'm certain that the overwhelming majority of businesses of Itasca County would welcome the pipeline back with open arms.

Horizon highlights – July 25 weekend
Our regular roundup of noteworthy sci-tech stories from the web includes: the mightiest material of them all, Google's answer to Wikipedia, and why isn't there a better way to say "www"?
If you think I missed a great story, feel free to post your links as a comment down below. Let's kick it off:
YouTube Marketing – Things Are Not What They Stream
" 'Stealth viral' video ads – i.e., clips that betray few obvious signs that they're part of a campaign – have invaded the Internet. You may think you've just seen a ball girl at a minor-league baseball game scale a wall to catch a foul. Wrong: She's a stunt woman, and that's a Gatorade ad. Did you recently send your friends that kick-ass security-cam clip of an office worker going berserk? If so, you took part in director Timur Bekmambetov's bizarre stealth advertisement for his film 'Wanted.' Ray-Ban, Levi's, Nike, and other brands have also recently launched similar campaigns." [Via Slate]
From the Monitor's archive – Many new 'friends' to be made online, but what about dollars?: "Social network websites are booming. If only they could turn a profit."
Tough stuff– Strongest Material Ever Tested
"The one-atom-thick sheets of carbon conduct electrons better than silicon and have been made into fast, low-power transistors. Now, for the first time, researchers have measured the intrinsic strength of graphene, and they've confirmed it to be the strongest material ever tested." [Via Technology Review]

"When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'." — Groucho Marx
By Jack 9 Comments
Jack, I love this! I've long thought that audio and/or video was something that I needed to incorporate more frequently into my blog, but I haven't really given it more than the "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if.." sort of attention.
Always a journey.
Hi Jason,
Audio is fun. I like mixing it up and this is an easy way to do it.
Best of all it doesn't require any hair or makeup work.
Why can't I hear those kids…. where have you locked them?
That is exactly what I like about your blog; you don't have a "schedule" and you keep writing from your heart. I just mentioned this on Bill's blog that when I was away for two months ; I did have over 800 posts to catch up to and over half of them were from you alone! I don't have a blogging schedule; I write only when I feel like it; but most of my energies are diverted to my freelancing work but I make sure I read blogs as much as I can.. and yes, irrespective of "catchy headlines" and "content is king"; I read what people have to say! Blog on..we love your emails in your inbox and nothing will make me unsubscribe… maybe if you do twenty posts a day I might have to reconsider then
P.S Do sing!
Yes, I was one of the ones who said 'too much' because it is all about me and if I say you should post once a week then I feel you should give it serious consideration.
BTW – is your 'studio' your bathroom? I didn't hear any kids running around.
I couldn't pull up the First Impressions post; was that a technical difficulty?
I'm Bill and you're not; have a lovely day.
Hi Bill,
I had technical difficulties with the First Impressions post and ended up having to trash it.
It also kept me up so that it was well after midnight when I posted and my kids were fast asleep.
Yes, you are Bill and I am not. You should be glad for that because if you were me and I were you who would we be.
What I love about your blog Jack is that there is tons of content to choose from and frankly a bit of everything for everyone… especially for a frazzled neo-second-time dad like me Keep writing and podcasting and I'll keep coming if I am not trying to catch a nap on the subway…
I always wonder about the people the sleep on the subway. Aren't you worried about missing your stop?
Unless I was with someone I would be concerned because I sleep so deeply I might end up riding in circles all day long.
Hi Jack,
This is the first time I've listened to your "podcast". I understand why you keep doing it, because it's awesome. I don't like to hear my own voice, but yours is like what I hear on the radio, so you've got a very good voice for podcasts.
When it comes to how often you publish posts. I don't have any problems with it, but I can't keep up and read everything every day, but I catch up whenever I have the time. And since you make it clear that you're first and foremost writing for yourself, you should keep doing it.
And, keep singing Elvis
Hi Jens,
Thank you. My voice sounds strange to me too. I think that it is pretty common for people to hear the recorded version of their voice and think it sounds strange.
Appreciate the feedback. I understand that some people find it frustrating and though it is not my intent I can only do so much.
Blogging should be fun and if it isn't there is no reason to do it.
As for singing, well now that won't happen very often…Voice is good for some things but singing isn't one.

A great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.Submitted by: CAROLRCL
I found straight mashed cauliflower to be a little too thin and runny for me, so I added a few potatoes to thicken it up a little bit.Submitted by: GIBBYSGAL
My tip is to weigh the potatoes. The recipe calls for three pounds, so don't guess.... "well there's 10 potatoes in this 5 lb bag, so divided by 5 equals 2 potatoes times 3 equals 6 potatoes".... don't do that! That is calculus, not cooking! The consistency of the potato mixture before you cook it should be a little runny and if you use too many potatoes it won't work right.Submitted by: AWLASS

My mother in law made this one night for dinner. I was a little worried because I have never been a big fan of tuna. But it was amazing!

Quick Take for Monday, March 31, 2014
(Fast Affiliate Live +Same Day Ratings)
ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" is Monday's Most-Watched TV Show,
Leading NBC's "The Voice" Head to Head by 1.6 Million Viewers
At 10pm, ABC's "Castle" Scores Most-Watched Encore Telecast in Nearly 3 Years
Monday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m. – 11.6 million and 1.8/5 in AD18-49):
With "DWTS" and a repeat "Castle," ABC ranked a strong No. 2 on Monday in Total Viewers, pacing within 300,000 viewers of NBC with originals of "The Voice" and "Blacklist" (11.6 million vs. 11.9 million) and topping CBS with the 1-hour series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" on the night by 2.9 million viewers (8.7 million). In addition, ABC beat Fox's original drama lineup by 29% in Adults 18-49 (1.8/5 vs. 1.4/4).
"Dancing with the Stars" (8:00-10:00 p.m. – 13.7 million and 2.2/6 in AD18-49):
From 8:00-10:00 p.m. up against the high-rated series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" (8:00-9:00 p.m.), ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" stood as Monday's most-watched TV show for the 3rd week running, topping NBC's "The Voice" in head-to-head competition by 1.6 million viewers (13.7 million vs. 12.1 million). Among young adults in the time period, ABC's "DWTS" beat Fox's original dramas ("Bones"/"The Following") by 57% in Adults 18-49 (2.2/6 vs. 1.4/4) and by 50% in Adults 18-34 (1.5/5 vs. 1.0/3).
"Castle" (10:00-11:00 p.m. – 7.4 million and 1.1/3 in AD18-49):
During the 10 o'clock hour, ABC's repeat "Castle" took second place with its most-watched encore in nearly 3 years – since 4/25/11.
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 49% currently, from 47% at the same point in 2013. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

SEO is an ever-changing field and one that contains no definitive approach. As a result, it is important to keep up to date with what is happening in the world of SEO. Even if you don't think a certain change or advancement will affect you, it is still important as it could affect you more than you think.
In today's online world it is becoming increasingly more important to generate a significant online presence, especially with competition being more intense than it has ever previously been. Pay-per-click (PPC) marketing is an extremely effective way of generating greater exposure on the results page and the reality is, if you're not fighting to be there, you can bet that your competition will be.
One difficulty with explaining how SEO activities work to people outside the industry, is navigating the minefield of misconceptions there are regarding SEO.
Google is on its way to becoming the single most influential company globally. It has eclipsed its earlier achievements in AdSense, YouTube and Maps with driverless cars, green energy and life extension. It has even been suggested that Google is reorganising our brains, influencing the way we categorise and remember information.
A look back at Google Authorship. Now the story's over, what's next?
Recently, Google announced that they were launching a new ranking signal within their search algorithm which would give small ranking boosts to websites using SSL/HTTPS.
Following the announcement in April that Facebook would be splitting its messaging service, the Social Media giants have been gradually rolling out their new 'Facebook Messenger' app worldwide. However, the roll out has been far from smooth with many angry Android users flocking to the Android app store Google Play to vent their frustrations.

DOff UI - Roster- Kills Frame Rate?!?!?!
View Single Post
Join Date: Jun 2012
Posts: 474
# 16
Coming from CO, the answer is more or less simple:
The UI elements as a whole in CO/STO absolutely suck system resources out of PCs. It's a severe engine design fault.
Example: During our giant open world boss fights in CO (so 50-75 people in the same zone all right next to each other), FPS drops to the teens or less unless you do two things.
1) Disable all player names over everyone's head (normally on by default).
2) Disable all damage number floaters (normally on by default).
According to someone who ripped open the main hogg files, all UI text is forced anti-aliased and is transparent. In large numbers, this utterly kills FPS on any and all rigs.
Also in CO, anything that the system has to check on (say, with costume unlocks), apparently checks so every single frame. If you search for costume unlocks on the auction house, expect your FPS to drop into the teens. I'm guessing this applies to the DOFFs as well, as they're always being 'checked up on' in the background.
TLDR: The guys who designed the UI in the Cryptic engine did a terrible, terrible job. The above issues have been around in CO since Day 1.

Passion Pit Celebrate Messy Relationships in Polished 'Carried Away' Video
'One Tree Hill' actress Sophia Bush guests
Happy Valentine's Day, people who love watching other people's bad relationships. Passion Pit's "Carried Away" carries more than a whiff of the Talking Heads' equally jaunty "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" in its keyboard-pop DNA, but nothing about the song's newly posted video feels like home. Instead, the Boston band's main man, Michael Angelakos, engages in a series of subtitle-driven fights and apologies with a lover, played by former One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush. "We all have problems," Angelakos sings, but it's hard to have too much sympathy for this otherwise successful-looking couple without knowing more about them than their self-inflected traumas and grandiose gestures (she once looked cute doing martial arts, so he apologizes via skywriting?). It's still crazy to think that for this deceptively cheery-sounding litany of woes, from last year's Gossamer, the place turned out to be Madison Square Garden.

Business Lenders Drop On Cuts By Stifel Nicolaus
BOSTON (AP) â¿¿ Shares of business development companies fell on Tuesday after Stifel Nicolaus analysts downgraded six of the stocks, saying they have become more selective about investment prospects after sharp price gains this year for the business lenders' stocks.
Analysts Greg Mason, Troy Ward and J. Jeffrey Hopson cut ratings of four companies to "Sell" from "Hold," including BlackRock Kelso Capital Corp., Gladstone Capital Corp., MCG Capital and Prospect Capital Corp. Shares of Compass Diversified Holdings and PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. were cut to "Hold" from "Buy."
They said stocks of business development companies have returned an average of nearly 30 percent this year, including dividend payments. That's far ahead of the 18.4 percent average total return for the Standard & Poor's 500 index stocks, and better than an index of financial industry stocks.
"We believe investors should become much more selective in the deployment of new capital into the BDCs," the analysts wrote in a note to clients.
They attributed the gains in part to strong recent demand from investors buying high-yield corporate bonds and investing in bank loans. That trend has helped give business development companies greater access to capital for lending to small- and mid-sized companies that want to expand. Mason, Ward and Hopson said they remain "very comfortable with the fundamentals" of business development companies, and expect that credit quality "should continue to remain strong." They said their ratings cuts reflect a revised view, "one of balance and selectivity" due to increases in stock prices among business development companies. Shares of MCG Capital fell 57 cents, or 10.8 percent, to $4.70 in afternoon trading. BlackRock Kelso lost 69 cents, or 6.7 percent, to $9.60. Gladstone Capital dropped 33 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $8.75. Compass Diversified Holdings fell 58 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $14.61. Prospect Capital lost 41 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $11.81, and PennantPark Floating Rate Capital fell 14 cents to $12.68.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Every week in the Tuesday Tumble, we explore a potentially overloved stock that may be vulnerable going forward, from a contrarian perspective. This week, our choice is energy issue and S&P 500 Index (SPX) component Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO).
The past year has not been particularly kind to MRO. Despite a bull market, the company's stock is up only about 3% to wink at the $34.04 level. While the shares did hit a multi-year high of $38.18 as recently as Nov. 21, they've shed nearly 11% since that point. If that's not enough, Marathon Oil is also sitting below a layer of resistance at its descending 20-day moving average, above which the shares have not closed since early December.
Nevertheless, option traders at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) are smitten with the energy name. During the past 10 sessions, MRO has racked up an ISE/CBOE/PHLX call/put volume ratio of 15.84, with long calls outstripping their bearish counterparts by a margin of nearly 16-to-1. For comparison's sake, the ratio checked in at just 4.31 on Jan. 2; it also registers in the 93rd percentile of its annual range.
Digging deeper, peak front-month call open interest for MRO belongs to the 36 strike, where 10,251 contracts reside -- a healthy proportion of which were bought to open. Should those bullish bets begin to unwind as February options expiration draws closer, the shares may run into some contrarian headwinds.
Meanwhile, outside of options land, the Street is extremely bullish on Marathon Oil. Of the 16 analysts covering the shares, 12 have given them a rating of "buy" or better, versus just four tepid "holds" and not a single "sell" or worse recommendation. What's more, the consensus 12-month price target of $42.32 stands at a 24% premium to the current stock price. Consequently, if MRO continues to struggle on the charts, the equity could get hit with a series of analyst downgrades and/or price-target reductions.
Finally, on the fundamental front, Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO) is due to report fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, Feb. 5. The security could run into problems here, as well, since it's missed analysts' bottom-line estimates in four of the past eight quarters -- resulting in an average single-week loss of 3.7%.

Cellulite Cellulite treatment with a Trib-Tool. Cellulite is an unwanted accumulation of fluids (fats and water) in the hypodermis attached to the underside of the dermis (the skin); this is especially troublesome on female legs and buttocks. It is believed to be associated with a combination of factors such as deterioration of metabolism and vascular functions or perhaps insufficient exercise or ageing. It results in a roughness of the skin commonly described as an orange peel effect. The reason these accumulations are more visible in females than males is attributed to a slightly different arrangement within the female septea, that is the collagen fibre network that couples the underside of the skin to the connective tissues of the facia. The female septae have more pronounced vertical alignment of collagen fibres than males, which allows adipose deposits to accumulate in vertical columns that push the skin surface up between restraining fibres. Whilst there is no known cure, various massage treatments have been shown to reduce the visible effect. These range from applying lotions that are massaged on and plump-up the skin making it temporarily appear smoother; to various mechanical treatments that induce pressure-shock waves that pass into the hypodermis releasing adipose fatty fluids from the tiny sacks lodged between the vertically oriented septea. The pressure waves are also said to also stimulate both blood flow and lymphatic drainage to remove released adipose fluids. Machines for applying such pressure waves to the skin include suction devices, rollers and electro-mechanical transducers. The equipment for applying these methods is expensive and is mainly limited to salon use. The Tribtech method treats cellulite with a less expensive hand held rubbing tool. The left side diagram below is taken from a recent patent application illustrating how the tool is used and on the right is a photograph of an actual tool. The surface has a grippy resilient nature that provides pronounced audible stick/slip behaviour as it is rubbed against wet skin. Each time the tool slips it creates a pressure shock wave that penetrates the hypodermis. This is conveniently done in the shower or bath The oscillatory nature of the TribTech massage tool also improves and maintains optimum vascular functions. With regular daily use this result in a steady reduction of adipose deposits and a reduction of the orange-peel effect. The Tool also exfoliates and deep cleans the skin as it treats the cellulite. The net effect is an improvement in shape and appearance of the body. Click here for an explanation of how this patented thermoformed surface also deep cleans. Patents are granted on these devices |

So is it stimulus money that caused the fewer job losses in April just reported or is it a recovering economy?
Our government is claiming it's stimulus while Wall Street and The Fed claim it's "shoots of green starting to sprout" aka a recovery they say will be more noticeable in the second half.
I say there won't be a recovery until 2012 at the earliest. More likely 2014-2015. Look at history and do the math. The Great Depression, the only thing we can compare this to, took from 1929 until 1933 to reach bottom. We started this downward cycle officially in December, 2007. That means the end of 2011 historically speaking before any permanent upticks.
We've only just begun…
600,000 jobs doesn't keep up with current losses or those graduating (300,000) so even if Obama's number is correct, at best we are breaking even, or just slightly negative job loss. This in the face of the largest stimulus bills ever.
We are in deep doo doo people.

A few short weeks ago, Ike came through and caused a lot of damage in my area. While helping out some people with debris, I found a tiny orange kitten. Despite my better judgement, I took him home with me. I've never been much of a cat person, so this is all new to me.
My son named him Joe, he says "thats the best name for a boy". So Joe the cat has become my buddy, I've been in charge of vet visits, cleaning the litter box etc (like anybody else was going to do it!)
This morning, I had to give Joe is worm medicine. The vet sent another dose home with us in syringe, to be given two weeks later. Today was that the two week mark.
Has anybody tried to give a fiesty cat medicine? My god. I've fought with drunken convicts that were not as mean and nasty as this barely more than a pound kitten. Now I have yellow wormer medicine all over the kitchen and me. I also have a ton of scratches on my arms and hands, they look I went swimming in the thorn thicket.
I guess I got to go to the vet and ask for help, and more medicine.

Bill Elliott has a blast playing 'leapfrog'
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Pairs racing is here to stay.
If you thought all the rules changes NASCAR made this week would change things, think again. The Gatorade Duel qualifying races Thursday, just like the Bud Shootout last weekend, were all about pairing up to get to the front.
Kurt Busch, the Shootout winner, made it 2-for-2 by winning the first Duel. Jeff Burton won the second Duel. Both drivers needed a partner to get there.
Bill Elliott has seen it all at Daytona. He has driven every style of Daytona 500 on the giant 2.5-mile oval for over 30 years, with restrictor plates and without them.
"But I've never experienced anything like what you have here," Elliott said after racing in the first Duel. "It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. It's like a bunch of kids playing leapfrog. It's a heck of a lot of fun."
Elliott is in the show for Sunday and so is Michael Waltrip, who finished third in the second Duel. Waltrip will make his 25th consecutive start in the 500, 10 years after his first Daytona victory on the day Dale Earnhardt died.
Waltrip sees this new dynamic-duo racing style the same way as Elliott.
"It's as interesting as anything I've ever done,'' Waltrip said. "I've seen a little of everything here and this is another example."
Like anything new, the pairing up takes some getting used to for every fan watching and every driver racing.
There's a lot to see and a lot to learn. Things happen that surprise you, like Brad Keselowski spinning out before going back on the track and pushing his big brother Brian from the back to a fifth-place finish to get Brian into the Daytona 500.
"He's always been kind of a snotty little kid,'' Brian said of his brother. "But I shouldn't say that today because he just got me in the Daytona 500 and I owe him. I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for him. You get a guy who knows what he's doing and he can push you to the front."
Brother to brother, teammate to teammate or just two drivers who find out their cars run darn fast together, it's all about a one-two punch at almost 200 mph.
If NASCAR was hoping the new rules this week would limit pairs racing, it has failed miserably. Changes to try to force the engines of the push car to overheat faster just didn't work. These engineers and drivers are too smart for that.
"I don't think the rule change accomplished quite what they hoped," Waltrip said. "Some guys could still run together a long time."
Some drivers had to swap position in fewer laps than they did in the Shootout, but others didn't swap much at all.
"The swap is the key thing," Elliott said. "The guys who are really good at it and do it at the right time are the ones who are going to stay up front."
The change NASCAR made to the restrictor plate, and the warmer temperatures, did lower the speeds from the blistering 206 mph the cars reached in the Shootout.
Staying below 200 mph is a good idea, but to the naked eye, the racing looked the same as it did in the Shootout, where drivers paired up and played a chess game of when to make a move.
"It is a different type of art," Burton said. "Things are happening faster than you can explain them."
The Hendrick Motorsports drivers still are trying to figure it out. The only top-10 finish for the Hendrick quartet was Mark Martin with an eighth-place showing in the first Duel.
"The swap is the key thing. The guys who are really good at it and do it at the right time are the ones who are going to stay up front.
" -- Bill Elliott
Jeff Gordon, who starts second in the 500, led 10 laps in the second Duel with a surprising partner in Ford driver and Cup newbie Trevor Bayne, who pushed Gordon almost the entire race.
Gordon finished 12th after getting loose on the last lap, causing Bayne to wreck behind him.
"I just could not get going on the restarts," Gordon said. "I had a blast working with Trevor. He's a good kid and a heck of a race car driver. I'm not sure why we couldn't get any momentum on restarts."
Hendrick teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 13th in the first Duel, not so bad considering he started in the back with his backup car that hadn't been on the track all week.
"We've got to get a little more speed," Earnhardt said. "And guys are able to run a little bit longer than we are without swapping [tandem spots]. We have to get better there, but I've put our guys behind with all the wrecking this week."
Drivers have to figure whom to pair up with to get faster. And they have to think ahead to avoid disaster. Joey Logano, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin learned that the hard way in accidents Thursday.
Everyone is learning an entirely new form of racing. This isn't the usual three-wide pack racing with 30 cars that fans have come to expect at Daytona and Talladega.
But Burton says the Daytona 500 will come down to the same old thing in the end.
"We're going to have the first 400 miles with some stuff happening and about 100 miles with more stuff than you can keep up with," Burton said. "We'll see some different racing, but in the end of the Daytona 500, somebody will take a chance and do things they wouldn't have done 100 laps before that."
Will fans still see the typical big wreck?
"Oh yeah," Burton said.
Except this time it will happen in pairs.

To Samuel Holden Parsons
August 11. 1776
Dear Sir
Last Evening I received yours of 7 July. It should have been August I suppose.
I am perfectly of your opinion of the Policy, and the Necessity of offering Land to inlist Soldiers. There is a Difficulty attends it—some Colonies have no Lands to give. However this might be got over, if the General would recommend the Measure—but it seems to me it never will be done, untill he does.
Congress has already ordered a Paymaster to every Regiment. Whether these officers have been appointed or not I cant Say. If proper Persons were recommended to Congress, they would be appointed at once.
I can now inform you that We have made a great Number of Promotions, and give me Leave to assure you that none, ever gave me more Pleasure than yours.
I had the Pleasure of doing Justice to your Character upon the occasion, at least as far as my Voice and Testimony would go, from an Acquaintance of about 24 years. Tyler is Coll of Your Regiment, and Prentice Lt Coll. Durkee Coll of the twentyeth and Knowlton Lt Coll.
Whether the Promotions We have made of General Officers, will allay the Discontent you Speak of, or increase them I know not. Let the Rank of Officers be as delicate a Point as it will, the Rank of Colonies, is equally delicate and of more Importance. The Massachusetts Bay has not its Proportion of General Officers. And the Mass. Coll's I expect will be discontented. I cant help it. They are brave Men I doubt not. But whether, they are Gentlemen of liberal Education, of any Knowledge of the World, of any Spirit of Command, of any Extent of Capacity, I know not, never having had the Pleasure of any Acquaintance with any of them save Porter, Serjeant
, and Ward.
Of Porter and Ward I have a
{ 444 }
very good Opinion, but they Stand low in the list. Knox and Porter must be promoted eer long.
I am grieved to my inmost Soul, for a Province, which I love and revere above all Things in this World, excepting that whole of which it is the most powerfull Part, I mean America. Winslow, Ruggles, Saltonstall, Barker,
and many others of our ablist officers, were abanded Tories. Prebble and Pomeroy, were incapacitated with Infirmities of Age. Warren and Thomas are fallen. Ward, Fry and Whitcomb have resigned. So has Learned.
Heath unfortunately has not a Reputation, equal to his Merit. If this is owing to Slander I wish to God he would prove it to be a Slander. Nixon is brave, but has not a large Mind that I can learn. In this State of Things that Province which ought to have an indisputable Superiority to every other upon the Continent, has now in the List of General Officers an undisputed Inferiority. I never will bear this long. Let it occasion what discontents it will among the Collonells. Altho I have hitherto been as Steady an Advocate for Promotions in Succession, generally as any Man, I will never the less, totally disregard the Succession, and exert my Utmost Endeavours to promote Young Fellows whose Genius, Learning, sentiment, Authority, and Spirit I can answer for, over the Heads of old ones, who will leave it disputable whether they have either or not.
I am out of all Patience at the Dishonour and Disgrace brought upon my Native Province. There are young Gentlemen, who have every Qualification necessary. Osgood, Ward, Austin, Tudor,—I wish they all had Regiments. I have Serious Thoughts of moving to have our Major General Warren,
Lincoln, or Orne, made a Continental Major General. I know there would be a Vote for it here. Let me beg of you in Confidence to give me the Characters of our best Massachusetts Field Officers. I want to know if there are none fit for Generals. If not it is high Time to make some new ones.
If there is a Partiality against the Field Officers of that Province, and they are not recommended in Proportion to their Merit, I wish to know that, because Such a Partiality may be rectified. If their Merit is inferiour I wish to know that, that better Officers may be introduced in their stead. Excuse this freedom, which I have indulged in Confidence, that no ill Use will be made of it. I am with Respect, and Esteem, your Affectionate servant.

Richard Saltonstall (1732–1785) of Haverhill was an excellent soldier who refused to fight on either side in the Revolution, leaving the country for England, where he died. Barker remains unidentified. There were several Barkers who served in the French and Indian War, but none of them was of high rank. Possibly he refers to Joshua Barker of Hingham, who served as a captain in the British Army in the French and Indian War (

Interior color for a black car
Working on a solid black car and was trying to get ideas and or pictures of interior color (s ) The car has 4 Thunderbird bucket seats from a 92 super coupe. full length consol.
I was thinking a saddel color Ultra leather. Then I thought the ultra leather may be hot in the summer. black & silver cloth combination of some kind of material maybe ? Ideas,comments, pictures.

Black on Black, possibly some red stiching if your running red calipers.
Shane |
Personally I like the idea of the Saddle color..Perhaps a lite tone..if you are really concerned about the ultra being hot then we could look for a nice complimenting material and do a cloth insert..That is you or your stitcher is going to do it..I think something like that could look very classy..You may want to get some samples of the colors you may like and lay them out on the seats to get a better idea of what the final will look like..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work.. |
OOOH YEAH!!!!I forgot about hounds tooth

Interior color for solid black car
Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it..keep em' coming.
Special thanks for the pictures. The car has about 10 gauges in the dash and console when you sit in it you feel like youre in a stealth fighter. That theme in mind the black & silver would do the trick. Black Rave material on the side bolster and a silver cloth seat insert. The saddle, butterscotch color trim with a shade or two lighter cloth seat insert would look high end Lexus or Cadillac luxury. I really like that look also. Keep the ideas,pictures coming. The car goes to the Upholstery shop mid May. Thanks..again |
I'm going with gold interior in my black chevelle. Though I cant really picture it in your car....
Interior color for black car
Nice...Really nice work Kris. Impressive . That interior would certainly work with a Stealth Fighter theme. With that in mind, Your thoughts are much appreciated on a Stealth Fighter theme to a car interior.
Any other pictures of black car interior youve done ? |

"Great Book"
Was a really great book. Lots of turns and changes. Really good.
"Not very good"
This book wasn't very good. It seemed they tried, but what could have been an exciting story was read boring and wasn't written much better. I don't recommend this one.
"Great read / listen"
This was a really good book. It kept you on the edge of your seat, worried about how it was going to end
The characters
He read it and kept it interesting and exciting
No. It was just really good
I've now started to read this author.
"Great Book"
It was really a good listen. The actor who read did a great job. It was an unbelievable story that came across as possible.
The main character, Steve.
The confrontation with the dragon.
Yes, although I can't with my busy life.
"Great ending to trilogy"
It was a great ending to the trilogy
That the good guys won
When Peter and the Mockingjay ended up together
"Catching Fire Excellant Book"
Good for all ages. Good story.
Yes. In the series. The series was really good
Yes, but I couldn't
"Great Book"
Would definately recommend
Yes plot was exciting. Kind of confusing at times, but pulled together in the end.
His reading made the book what it was
Yes, although impossible

i loved the anime of speed grapher is there a manga
Nope, Speed Grapher is one of those rare animes that had no manga base or start.
I wasn't too sure myself. In the main site, there's some manga art of Speed Grapher. And it's been very uncertain everywhere wether there is one. Sure would be great though.
A lot of gonzos works had no manga which it is based on.
There isn't ... thats concept art/sketches/fan art, not manga )=Originally Posted by EndOfDestiny

5 Superbborisncfc100 | 18/05/2008 | See all borisncfc100's reviews (26)This is honestly a superb game it is different every single time you play through it. Unlike C&C and age of empires it doesnt have the repetative build a base, wait for a bit, get enough money to buy a few units then destroy the other base, there is so much more to it than that so many factions with unique units and as to how easy it is depends entirely on your decisions as to who to attack, and who to ally with and perseverance, as it offers a good 30 hours of gameplay to complete it on your first time round. and for those reasons it deserves 5 stars.
5 The foundation of brilliancemagnetonian919 | 23/05/2007 | See all magnetonian919's reviews (7)While the total war series has been popular, my love for this game is unmatched. This ancient warfare game is brilliant for every lover of stratagy games. While by no means a game for novices as it can be quite easy to be overwhelmed by whats going on, especially in the larger battles, the overwhelming vercitiliy and realism is outstanding. The campaign mode and the battle mode give fast paced action and long term thinking a chance and can help a player to develop his or her ability to perseave future events. While there is room for improvment, this game is more than worth its orignal price after the hours ive spent on it, let along the current one.

Toby the Yogurt Finder"Sherlock?" John called out into the flat. When he was met with no response, he continued, "So, we've got a guest, who's going to be staying here for a few days."The box he had picked up off of Park Street seemed to grow heavier in his arms."Okay." John heard Sherlock's voice from the kitchen. He must've been in the middle of an experiment, or else he wouldn't have sounded as uninterested. So John, a little relieved that he didn't have to confront Sherlock right at that moment, breathed a sigh of relief, put the box down, and opened it.It took Sherlock two hours to notice, and whether it was due to Sherlock's intense focus on his experiment or Toby's quiet and docile behavior, John didn't know. But he didn't have to guess about Sherlock's reaction to Toby.He had taken one look at him and said a definitive, "No," with the look of someone who was greatly vexed that they even had to voice their opinion at an idea so ludicrous."I know. We're not keeping him. Relax. I saw the number on
The Lesson"Honestly John, it's really quite simple.""No, Sherlock! It's not 'quite simple!'""Of the two human beings in this room, which one is more able to make a well-informed and intelligent decision on the difficulty of a certain task?""I really think there's only one human being in this room: me. But in any case I should cause I'm normal."Sherlock scoffed. "Ugh. Boring. Now try it again.""Sherlock, my fingers are tired. I seriously can't play anymore. My fingers are going to start bleeding and I'm going to get an infection.""Are you insinuating something about the cleanliness of my bow?""Actually, maybe I am." John set the violin down on the armchair. "You've come home soaked in blood before.""Pig's blood." Sherlock murmured."As if that makes it alright!" John shouted, throwing his hands up in defeat. "How am I supposed to know what sort of rubbish gets on your bow?" He crossed the room, desperate to get away from the world's most aggravating flatmate, and let himself fall onto the
Sweets Chapter Four - JohnlockChapter Four - How to fool your opponent Sherlock didn't have to wait long, as London was a center for criminal activity and the police needed his help far too often. Scotland Yard sent him case files home, so that he could look into them and solve the case for them as soon as possible.Sherlock lay on the couch, deep in thoughts, but they were not about the case. He had solved it almost instantly, it had been an far too easy, boring case. Sherlock thought about his next move. Should he just wait, until John would get the sweets on his own? Should he put on an act, so that he wouldn't have to wait too long, until John would think that the case was difficult for Sherlock? No, he would wait, even if he wasn't the most patient person. It was highly probable that John would look through it if Sherlock put on an act. John did most of the time. Waiting would be the best solution. His hands moved up to his chin, resting on his chest. This was so boring. A small smile played on Sherloc
Sherlock : Part-Time Job"What the..." Sherlock opened his eyes widely. He looked into the black taxi wondering if he waswithout knowinghigh. But maybe John was right and he should sleep during cases. Because he could not be healthy and/or clean if he was seeing Jim Moriarty as a taxi driver."What?!" Moriarty snapped. "Haven't you ever seen a man with a part-time job?!"Sherlock was still silent, wondering if he should take another cab. He was meant to meet John at Angelo's. Or maybe he should just call Lestrade? Mycroft? No, nothing is ever worth calling Mycroft. Arrest Moriarty himself?"Come on, sweetie. You have nothing on me. I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just driving a cab. I'm a cabbie, cabbies don't harm people," he said as smiled like a little girl found in family photos."Seriously? Are you a good man to tell me that cabbies do not harm their passengers?" Sherlock looked at him suspiciously."Look. I'm not going to kill you. Nor any of my clients. They are paying me for driving them
Sweets Extra 2 - JohnlockAnticipating the retaliationAfter what had happened at the crime scene, John was mad at Sherlock and wouldn't stop ranting about it the whole cab ride home. The cabbie had glanced back through the mirror a few times, obviously feeling uneasy with them almost yelling at each other, but John hadn't really cared. They had kissed in public and now everyone was certain that John was gay. At least they had only assumed so before that particular scene Scotland Yard had the pleasure to live by.Well, John obviously was not gay. The only thing he was, was insane. That was the only explanation for him falling in love with a high functioning sociopath. He had to be completely and utterly out of his mind to have let something like that happen.John leaned back in his favorite armchair and sighed. It was no use to cry over spilled milk. Best to just drink a nice cuppa and simply accept it. He checked the time. Still half an hour left until he was going to meet with She
1000 Reasons WhySummary: John comes home after shopping to find Sherlock left him a note. Turns out there are plenty more where that came from.Johnlock proposal fic, because there aren't enough out there and that needs to be fixed.Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John WatsonJohn cursed under his breath as he jiggled his keys in the lock, the groceries precariously balanced on his free arm. He kicked the door shut behind him and went to the kitchen to unload his bags. He stopped in the doorway when he spotted the... substance sitting on top of the table.The table they prepared food on and ate off of."Sherlock!" he groaned, edging around the table and putting the groceries on the counter. "I thought I told you to keep your experiments off the table?"He received no answer, and quickly checked the flat. He found no Sherlock, and was about to start worrying when his phone went off. He unlocked it and saw it was a text from Sherlock.Lestrade called me out on a case. Boring, but
Sleep Well"Blast it, Sherlock, turn that damned thing down," hissed John as he stormed down the stairs and into the little living room of the flat he shared with the man in question.The telly was on and blaring some crude show with a pair of so-called comedians screaming at the audience. John practically crushed the power button in his frustration, silencing the annoying device. His eyes flicked immediately to the couch, ready to chew that imbecile out for ignoring his right to sleep. However, it was rather to his surprise to see the man in question sprawled out across the couch, fast asleep himself.John blinked for a moment. It was weird seeing Sherlock like this.He crept close feeling as if this was something to marvel. Well, it was. He wasn't sure he'd ever actually seen the man sleep before. Of course, it also had a lot to do with the fact that they slept on different floors, in different rooms. But the man John knew was always so wound up that sleeping, like eating and bathing
Sweets Chapter Three - JohnlockChapter Three - A game willing to play A week passed without one of them talking about what happened. Sherlock was surprised that John wanted him to admit defeat. He had expected that John would want to talk about their kiss. That he would be mat at Sherlock for kissing him. That he would just buy him the patches, but not that John would strike back. Sherlock had of course noticed right away what John wanted to do, but he didn't mind, no. Quite the opposite was the case.Truth was, Sherlock didn't want the patches anymore; he wanted to kiss his good doctor again. It had felt so good. It had felt like nothing he had felt before. He had kissed a few people, back in his college days, but he had always felt disgusted by their saliva mingling with his own.John was different, his exception. Sherlock had found himself touching John whenever he could without being too obvious. John had been more observant than he usually was, catching Sherlock staring at him out of the corner of his e

Absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love the art direction of LoL. Thanks so much for this video. The invisible side of this video (brainstorming and artistic skill) is what truly leaves me appreciative. I look forward to the day I'll be able to play LoL with max detail and sound--ah, yes, I currently play with NO sound. I only know LoL with sound from streams. Anybody want to donate an old but capable PC to this suffering gamer? Haha
No one realizes that the missing part in the center of her body is not there because her pet was later put in that position so the artist must of not drawn in that part because it would of been covered up later. Why put the work into a part of the body that won't be seen in the finishing touches.

73 of his runs came in 4 matches of the 2011-12 Big Bash League, 288 in the 2012 Bangladesh Premier League, 733 in the 2012 Indian Premier League, 368 in T20Is for West Indies including 222 in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka and 70 from 5 matches in the 2012-13 Big Bash League he is currently playing in Australia.
The Jamaican has hit three T20 hundreds in the year, two in the Bangladesh Premier League and his highest score of 128* in the Indian Premier League alongwith thirteen half centuries, 100 fours and 121 sixes. His 1532 runs put him a whopping 374 runs ahead of Azhar Mahmood, the next man on the list with 1158 runs to his name.
His tally could have been much higher had he not missed games in the BPL and most of the Standard Bank Pro 20 Series in South Africa due to a groin injury. On his return to the West Indian side he played a crucial role in their successful 2012 World Twenty20 campaign, scoring 222 runs along the way and popularizing the Gangnam style celebration on field.
