River2Sea Ish Monroe Bling Spinnerbait Double Willow
Designed by Ish Monroe, River2Sea's new Bling Spinnerbait is built to attract the right kind of bites. Constructed on a light wire frame for maximum vibration, the Bling also features ultra thin blades and premium ball bearing swivels for easier rotation at slower speeds. Its new flared head design also helps balance out the bait during the retrieve and helps it deflect off of obstructions. Equipped with premium hand tied silicone skirts and realistic Liquid Chrome paint Jobs as well, the River2Sea Bling Spinnerbait also features super sharp 5/0 hooks with a big gap for excellent hooking capabilities.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great bait, I personally like the thinner wire, it gives off a better vibration than the baits with heavier wires. Use a net and they will last! Very worth it!
From: Lucas: CA 2/2/16
Comments: This is a very high quality product in every way. The premium hand tied silicone skirts is huge plus point compare with other brand. My only wish is R2C can change the hook to GAMA. As for the durability issue, do not Swing or lift the fish, use net or hand. It will last you a lot longer
From: Jimmy: Markham, Ontario Canada 2/7/15
Comments: I am a die hard spinnerbait advocate, i catch about 80% on my fish on them all year round and have used just about every single spinnerbait out there, i will tell you that this is probably one of the best spinnerbaits I've ever used. the skirt is perfect and consistent, runs true, and gives off a great vibration. you won't be disappointed
From: Kurt: Ithaca, NY 9/12/14
Comments: first off a good spinnerbait IMO only last 10 r 12 small fish or 5 r 6 big fish before it's basically useless the thinner the wire the more action and vibration u get but they break faster. That being said this is an awesome spinnerbait, when money is on the line especially. For fun fishing I'd go with something more durable.
From: Tanner: Toledo Bend, TX 9/4/14
Comments: Can't believe I'm reading so many negative reviews on this spinnerbait. I have used it for about 8 months now and for whatever reason the spinnerbait has really been producing for me this year; more so than any other lure. It holds up great unless I hook a chain pickerel or mudfish. These two trash fish go so crazy that they will mess the bait up, but all you have to do is bend it back. I've used every spinnerbait on the market and even though one will break from time to time; they hold up better and catch more fish than any other spinnerbait I've ever used. I'm usually a big believer in reviews, but reading these reviews may help me to disregard other peoples comments in some cases. By far the best spinnerbait on the market.
From: Randy: FL 8/15/14
Comments: The especialy thin wire of this bait is its advantage and what makes it so fragile. However, this spinnerbait is very pructive, great falling action and a nice look. I recommend.
From: Clament: France 4/26/14
Comments: Avoid this bait! I have had two and neither one lasted the day! The swivel is not strong enough, I lost the blade on both rendering the baits useless! If this bait would stand the test of time it would be outstanding! I did not have a problem with the wire breaking or bending as in other reviews. It did catch some quality bass before the blade detached! River2Sea get it together upgrade the components..
From: Rhett: Oxford, PA 4/11/14
Comments: nice shiny paint and looks great. can reel extremely slow and blades spin great. but a little on the light side of the advertised weight. even put a trailer hook on and have a hard time casting and wont go as far as other spinnerbaits. wire seems okay so far and will keep some in the box at all times.
From: Joe: Eubank, CA 4/7/14
Comments: This bait is really good but the paint job not the spinner bait comes right of even wen I was just pulling it through open water maybe u guy should coat it another time.
From: Shad: CA 3/9/14
Comments: I expected these baits to hold up a lot better than they did since having Ish's name on it. I caught one 6lb bass with "Powder" and the wire broke right above my knot. The wire is too flimsy and is constantly having to be bent back into place.
From: Jaron: GA
Comments: I bought this lure at a local shop and checked here afterwards to see the reviews. Most people seem to be upset with the wire bending or breaking so I was nervous using it BUT I ended up catching about 40 bass and a 20" musky on it and still looks to be in good shape. As long as you use a net and don't lift the fish out of the water in to the boat/bank, it will hold up just fine....
From: Elvis
Comments: I think this spinnerbait it great, but wire bends super easy and after 1 fish mine got so bent I couldn't bend it back to swim true. I love this bait but can't decide if it is worth it.
From: Ryan: USA
Comments: Have never used these spinnerbaits, but I do make my own out of a similar wire. Personally if the spinnerbait im using doesnt have a wire light enough that it will break after a few fish I WILL NOT USE IT. A light wire is what makes a spinnerbait. Sure it cost money to replace the bait, but I would rather buy a new spinnerbait than not catch fish anyday.
From: Bob: AL
Comments: This is awesome bait looking, got my from cabelas, but these reviews are not good. Hope it doesn't break in 2 fish. the wire is the problem too weak and thin.
From: Alex
Comments: Much like the Crystal Spin, a great bait that falls apart. I caught several fish on it the first time I used it, but a little dink 12" fish snapped the wire. They were really good about sending replacements for the broken Crystal Spins, but I have yet to receive a reply on this issue. I'm losing faith in River2sea.
From: Greg: UT
Comments: I'm pretty disappointed in this bait. Just like the Crystal Spins, they work great until they snap in half. River2sea was really good about replacing them last time this happened with the Crystal Spins, but I wrote them a month ago about this issue and never heard back. I guess they should stick to hardbaits.
Comments: Bought it....what a waste of money....should have bought the Booyah. Fell apart after 3 fish. Don't waste your money on this pices of junk! More junk from River2Sea.
From: Cory: Moreno Valley, CA
Comments: They catch fish but the wire is cheesy. 1.5 lber jumped on me and the wire snapped at the line tie I reeled in to willow leafs and thats it.
Comments: awesome spinner bait, the first time i used it i caught 2 fish. the only bad this is that the wire bends after you catch a fish on it. but u just bend it right back.
From: Trevor: San Jose, CA

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is making clear what everyone in Washington suspects -- a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff before Christmas is unlikely.
Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday that lawmakers will be back the Thursday after Christmas -- Dec. 27.
The House is moving ahead with votes Thursday on a GOP plan to raise taxes on people earning over $1 million a year. Reid says that's a non-starter in the Senate, and the White House has threatened a veto.
Negotiations between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner so far have produced no deal to avoid the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that kick in after the first of the year.

Wayne White has worn many creative hats over the years (art director, painter, puppeteer, music video director, set designer, animator, comic book illustrator, and so on) but what is most striking about this incredibly accomplished artist is his enthusiasm for integrating humor, levity and fun into his work, a rare mission for someone who has been embraced by both the entertainment industry (Pee Wee's Playhouse) and the fine art world of museums and galleries. Like most, I knew nothing of his life or work until I saw the wonderful documentary portrait of this high energy personality called Beauty Is Embarrassing. You'll learn about White's humble, Southern origins and about his artistically constituted family (including his wife Mimi Pond). There are also tender moments in between the laughter and absurdity where White discusses his upbringing and the support he had growing up from his parents. This is a great film that will inspire your inner artist and rebel.

WASHINGTON – Metro continues to investigate what caused a railcar to catch fire during the evening rush hour this week.
Although the ultimate cause of the fire that badly damaged one of the transit agency's oldest model railcars and left hundreds of commuters stranded has not been determined, the transit agency released preliminary findings Wednesday. Metro engineers will need several more days to inspect the burnt train, the agency says.
Investigators preliminarily believe the flash fire that came from underneath the railcar indicates that a metal-shielded hose came into contact with power cables, creating an electrical short.
Metro says it received a report of three small explosions, smoke and fire coming from a railcar shortly after 6 p.m. Riders reported hearing booms and a video captured the explosions or flare-ups from a nearby building.
Investigators have ruled out track conditions as the root cause in the fire, Metro says.
The fire badly damaged the underside of the carriage and the side of the railcar but did not damage the inside of the passenger compartment, Metro says.
The damaged railcar is one of the oldest types of railcar Metro operates, known as the 1000-series. The deadly Metro crash in 2009 that killed nine people involved a train made up of 1000-series cars.
As a result of that crash, Metro decided to move the older cars to the middle of trains and federal safety officials ordered Metro to retire the series. Metro will begin phasing out the old cars next year, replacing them with 7000-series model of rail cars.
Because of Tuesday's fire, Metro staff will check the hoses and wires on all of the oldest model cars. That process should be complete by the end of the week, says Metro spokesman Dan Stessel.
Metro says it will also review the operation of the train, including the disembarking of riders at the Takoma station, as part of its investigation. Some riders told WTOP the fire began before they got off the train at Takoma. No riders were on the train when it stopped at Silver Spring and no injuries were reported.
The fire shut down the Silver Spring station for about three hours and Red Line service was suspended for 90 minutes, leaving commuters stranded in the middle of the evening rush hour. MARC train service was also suspended between Union Station and Silver Spring because of the fire.

About this font family
Tahoma is one of Microsoft's new sans serif typeface families. It consists of two Windows TrueType fonts (regular and bold), and was created to address the challenges of on-screen display, particularly at small sizes in dialog boxes and menus.
Since the Tahomas are TrueType fonts, they can be rotated and scaled to any size, and anti-aliased by the rasterizer built into Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. These features give the fonts significant advantages over bitmap system fonts such as MS Sans Serif. More…

When to Go
Most national parks see their peak crowds in the summertime, when kids are out of school and the weather and scenery are at their best. Campgrounds, lodges and hotels fill up quickly during peak travel times, and the main roads running through the parks often get clogged with cars and RV's. You'll often have a better experience if you visit in spring or fall, when most parks are less crowded.
Does that mean you shouldn't visit during the summer? Absolutely not. While the most popular parks see millions of visitors each year, that doesn't mean you have to run into all those visitors during your trip. Crowds tend to cluster around major visitor attractions (such as Yellowstone's Old Faithful) and scenic overlooks (like those along the Grand Canyon's South Rim), but even the most popular parks have many miles of less discovered hiking trails and backcountry roads far from the tourist trail. If you can, ditch the car and take a hike to find your own little patch of natural beauty away from the crowds. Save the more popular attractions for either first thing in the morning or just before sundown in order to beat the midday rush.
Want to really avoid the crowds? Check out our favorite Less Traveled National Parks.
Planning Your Trip
Your first stop should be the Web sites of the National Park Service (for U.S. parks) or Parks Canada (for parks north of the border), both of which provide up-to-date, unbiased information about each park within their jurisdiction. These sites offer maps, trail reports, road closure information, operating hours, activity listings, fee information and much more.
AAA is also a good source for comprehensive national park maps, which members can order at no charge. If you're not a member of AAA, you can get maps at any visitor center once you arrive at the park.
Most national parks have a wide range of lodging options both within the park and outside it, ranging from campgrounds and rustic cabins to budget motels and upscale hotels. Camping is almost always your cheapest option, but keep in mind that campgrounds fill up quickly during the peak travel season. Many parks allow you to reserve your campsite ahead of time; you can do so at Recreation.gov (for U.S. parks) and PCCamping.ca (for Canadian parks).
Don't do tents? Budget travelers can stay in cabins within the park or in family-friendly motels outside the main entrances, while those willing to pay a little more can often stay in elegant lodges with beautiful scenic views. Be sure to check for the amenities that are important to you -- not all park lodging will have private bathrooms, for instance. As with campgrounds, park lodges and cabins often sell out very quickly at peak times, so be sure to book well in advance if you have your heart set on staying inside a particular park.
Slideshow: The 10 Best National Parks
Park Passes
If you're planning on visiting several parks over the next year, you may want to consider purchasing a park pass. The National Park Service offers the "America the Beautiful" annual pass for $80; it includes admission not only to any national park or monument but also to any sites managed by four other government agencies. The pass grants admission for the passholder and his or her vehicle (at sites that charge per vehicle) or for the passholder and up to three other adults (at sites that charge per person). Children under 16 are admitted free.
Seniors age 62 and up pay only $10 for a lifetime pass, while permanently disabled travelers can get their lifetime pass for free.
Canada also offers a variety of park passes, with packages for families and concessions for seniors and younger travelers.

Episode Plot
After Ash beat Clay and got his Quake Badge, Ash and co. decide to head to Mistralton City next. Cilan says that to get there they have to get through Chargestone Cave. When they got there, Ash notice Pikachu was beyond tired. The reason was that a Joltik was feeding off Pikachu's electricity, and he's not the only one the Joltik are feeding off, Iris' Emolga and Cilan's Stunfisk (being part electric) are being drained too. And who should they run into but their old friends, Bianca and Professor Juniper, who explains the situation. What could be causing the Joltik and Galvantula to leech off of other Electric-type Pokémon as well as electricities from the Pokemon Center?
Pokémon Debuts
- Crustle
- This is the second episode in a row to feature the evolution of a main character's Rock-type Pokémon, with Cilan's Dwebble evolving into Crustle (Ash's Roggenrola evolved into Boldore in the last episode).
- It is revealed that Bianca's Minccino learned Thunderbolt.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Galvantula on the Pokedex when they're outside the entrance of the Pokemon Center after draining electricity. First was BW017: Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild but when he looked it up on Pokedex, the image picture of it is not in the scene and the difference is, it said "the evolved form of Joltik" which Ash looked it up first in BW031: Oshawott's Lost Scalchop! while searching for his Oshawott's Scalchop.
- Ash and co. (minus Bianca) may have encountered swarms of Galvantulas first and one Joltik, but this is worse when they're living together in many groups.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Beheeyem
- Who's That Pokemon?: Dwebble (Japan), Galvantula (U.S.)
- Chargestone Cave makes it second appearance since in the flashback scene of Deino's trainer trying to find a way out in BW058 The Lonely Deino.
- The soundtrack title theme used was actually from the same movie of Zoroark: Master of Illusions when Iris and Cilan stopped Team Rocket's vehicle before the Galvantula and Joltik came out to take back their home.
- The soundtrack title theme used when the swarms of Galvantula and Joltik surround Team Rocket is the same as that used in the opening of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
- Ash: "Ah!"
- Bianca: "Uh?"
As they stared surprisingly
- Ash: "Bianca!"
- Bianca: "I'm so sorry."
- "Does this always have to happen?"
Ash after Bianca knocks him into the water, again.

The first time I smelled "Bang" by Marc Jacobs, I was taken in by a peppery smell that dried down to a masculine yet smooth resin-type wood with pepper/spice and the slightest hint of maybe smooth and sweet tobacco... good for giving off that contemporary, smooth, charismatic, and sophisticated-sexy type of vibe.
It is definitely a scent that will work well for younger men who like to give off that sophisticated, "young yet mature", and sexy vibe. It's not an overpowering, musky, and spicy cologne like some older men's cologne (I don't think there's really any true musk in it, just a masculine woodiness-- you think you smell a hint of musk, but it's not truly musk). So, to recap, there is a tiny bit of smoothness to the woody scent (instead of being an overpowering spicy musk) which makes this perfect for younger guys who want to give off that vibe of young-mature, charismatic, and sophisticated sexiness. To me, there's not many good peppery/spicy colognes out there to begin with and LESS that are appropriate for younger guys (in their 20s-30s).
It will be a great scent to try out for those late evening dinners and dates during the late summer to fall (when the temperature gets cooler and less humid).
Dry down was about 30 min-- during the dry down the stronger peppery/spice will lessen a bit. In the long run after the dry down, the pepper-spice will lessen to maybe about 80% within the first 3-4 hours leaving you with a masculine, smooth woodiness with a bit of pepper for 6-8 hours. 3 sprays should be enough. If you want the spicy-pepperiness to stay strong, you need to reapply every 4 hours or so.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

It was best described by the full page reviewer. However this cologne just like so many other so called celebs is as well a "good" fashion sketcher. Like many others out there it is a who knows who and who "thinks" their better than they are. Just as his colonges his clothing for men is ummm just OK. It is way over priced and prices even on here have blown way up. In this economy the rich continue through their ways to keep getting rich but not by the help of my hard earned money. I enjoy Frag X and don't order as much because I can find some colognes at a lower cost. However Frang X is great on shipping and if you can reach them by phone prior to 3pm eastern you can get help, as to email I sent two in the last two weeks and neither were answered. Though I get their emails daily on pricing. Over all there are far better unkown colognes that are as nice and better for a lower cost that most can afford. Hope this helps. Blessings, to all Happy ThanksGiving.

Comments about Marc Jacobs Bang Cologne:
I don't want my hubby to smell like a citrus grove, the ocean or clean laundry. I want him to smell manly and sexy. Most men's fragrances now smell like body wash even worse they smell like my body wash. I want him to smell like a guy. This just does it for me. He wears it and I melt. I love love love it. It's just strong enough without being overpowering. If you want to smell like a metrosexual this isn't for you, your girlfriend is never going to borrow it. If you want to smell like a man and leave her wanting to wear your shirt because it smells like you.Buy this one.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said three people from Colorado were on board the 1952 Beechcraft C-35 airplane when it landed at the Amelia Earhart Airport on Wednesday. Police also arrested two people waiting at the airport—another Colorado resident and a Kansas City resident, The St. Joseph (Mo.) News Press reported ( http://bit.ly/12q4dNh).
Wilson said authorities seized the plane and a 2008 SAAB.
"We developed information that there was a small aircraft headed to Atchison that would have marijuana on it," Wilson said. "We also believed there would be a vehicle there to meet them."
Wilson said all five were taken into custody at the airport, and then booked into the Atchison County Jail on possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and no drug tax stamp.
The Atchison County prosecutor's office said formal charges were expected to be filed later Friday.
"What this group didn't plan on was running into a smaller (law enforcement) agency that stopped them in their tracks," Wilson said.

We heard a lot about the "war on women" during the 2012 election cycle. While the phrase has faded this election year, the war on women has not. Now we're fighting on two fronts -- reproductive rights and economic survival.
Even with Tuesday's campaign setbacks, Bernie Sanders' pledge to make the country more equitable and sustainable is more realistic than some people are letting on.

Recent years have seen the number of universities and university colleges in Tanzania grow in quick succession. Real mushrooming, one might say.
What no one can deny is that the development has led to an appreciable rise in the number of graduates in the country although there is clearly no consensus over whether it has also meant anything in terms of the quality of the education and training offered is subject to discussion.
Debate is raging on whether middle-cadre technical training plus several years of practice should take precedence over plain university education when it comes to considering a job applicant for employment.
Again, public opinion is widely divided here, particularly in that the level of actual performance "on the pitch" on numerous occasions belies that of one's academic education or professional training. But there is no denying that the combination of education, training and experience usually stands as the best answer.
Of course, this is assuming that both the training and the education are relevant or appropriate and of the desired quality while by "experience" we don't mean merely the number of years one has been engaged in some kind of work. In other words, it should not be experience in the mediocre.
It is also to be appreciated that, much as we would aspire for first, second and third degrees, conditions rule out the possibility of every Tanzanian pursuing university education. In any case, not every employment opportunity calls for PhDs and similarly sky high qualifications.
It is partly for this reason that education and training in Tanzania falls under three main categories: basic – overseen by the Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA), middle-cadre – overseen by the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE), and university level – overseen by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU).
Unfortunately, we have in recent years witnessed a fast-developing trend pointing to an obsession with university education which has made some people and institutions take the VETA and NACTE levels of education and training for granted in the mistaken belief that only university graduates count.
Mainly as a result of this misconception, all manner of education and training have been spending sleepless nights scheming how to graduate into universities or university colleges as soon as practicable – with the ability to deliver not considered of much that consequence.
Luckily, after what one could safely describe as a regrettable delay, the government has intervened by putting an immediate stop to the much-cherished transformation of schools and colleges into universities.
The decision, as announced by Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda in Arusha on Saturday, is not without consolation as non-university education and training institutions meeting laid down requirement, conditions and procedures will still be at liberty to offer degree-level and equivalent courses.
This means that, all things considered, the change is just a matter of names. We therefore call upon all education stakeholders to take the government's intervention seriously but positively be as it means our nation well. Shakespeare says it all in Romeo and Juliet: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Steve LeBrun carded a 4-under 67 on Friday to
join Christopher DeForest in the lead after two rounds of the Miccosukee
DeForest managed a 1-under 70. The duo finished 36 holes at 7-under-par 135.
Both leaders are looking for their first Web.com Tour title. They both also
need a big week as they are outside the top 60 on the money list, which would
get them into the Tour Championship in two weeks.
Cameron Percy, who is 10th on the money list, posted a 1-under 70 to move into
third place at minus-5. Alistair Presnell fired a 4-under 67 to grab a share
of fourth place at 4-under-par 138. He was joined there by Phillip Choi (72),
Scott Gardiner (69) and Morgan Hoffmann (72).
First-round leader Jason Allred stumbled to a 4-over 75 and fell into a tie
for eighth at 3-under-par 139 at Miccosukee Golf & Country Club.

Item No: 5.C.1.
Meeting Date: April 8, 2013
From: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance for annexation of Kankoo Enterprises, LLC (Kankoo Enterprises, LLC)
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for Kankoo Enterprises, LLC property.
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 3.4 acres of land generally located on the north side of US Hwy 441 and west of Blossom Lane, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County R-6 (Urban Residential). Currently, the property is vacant commercial and the proposed use is for a convenience store.
The surrounding zoning of adjacent properties is County R-6 (Urban Residential) to the north, as well as City C-3 (Highway Commercial), to the east, south, and west. The proposed zoning district of City C-3 (Highway Commercial) and the proposed Land Use designation for the subject property is City General Commercial. The annexation of the property would allow for more compact urban form.
Also on the agenda for this meeting are Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a rezoning application for this property, which is recommended for approval by the staff and Planning Commission.
City water and wastewater utilities are available in the area. The developer is responsible for all cost and construction to make the necessary extension and hook-ups to City utilities in accordance with City requirements. Police and fire services are presently provided in this area and impacts on the provision of these services are estimated to be minimal.

Maine Equal Justice Partners is one of three groups that are suing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of five Maine residents who are scheduled to lose their Medicaid benefits on March 1.
A Maine group that advocates for the poor is going to court in an effort to block Medicaid cuts scheduled to take effect March 1.
Maine Equal Justice Partners, along with the National Health Law Program and the Center for Medicare Advocacy, has filed the suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of five Maine residents, all of whom are disabled. It seeks a temporary restraining order to block the cuts.
The plaintiffs include three Lewiston residents, Louis Bourgoin, Katherine Bourgoin and Heidi Brooks, along with Katherine Sherrard of Kennebunk, and Donna Stevens of Waterville.
The cuts were pushed by Gov. Paul LePage, and enacted last year by the Legislature. The federal government rejected some parts of the plan but allowed the state to cut about 6,000 residents who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid from Maine's Medicaid program, known as MaineCare.
"Federal law protects low-income people and people with disabilities from losing their health insurance coverage through Medicaid," says the group's litigation director, Jack Comart in a statement. "By granting Maine permission to reduce eligibility, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has violated the law by cutting health care benefits for people with disabilities and for low-income seniors. Those actions are unacceptable."

Monterey Baptist
It was a privilege to recognize the veterans in our congregation today. As the military medley played, the men stood while their branch's song was being played.
Our deepest gratitude to Jim Bob Cook (Air Force), Joe Peters (Army), Gary Derringer (Army), Foster Smith (Army) and Melvin Miller (Army). We should never forget the sacrifice the men and women (past and present) have made so we could worship freely. May God bless you.
Deep within a forest, a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs, and crashed to the ground.
After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground.
The turtle tried time and again while a couple of birds sat on a branch and watched him.
Finally, the female bird turned to her mate and said: "Dear, don't you think it's time we tell him he's adopted?"
An old man on a moped pulls up next to a young fellow in a Corvette at a stoplight.
"What kind of car you got there?" the old guy asks, his thumbs tucked into his suspenders.
"It's a 2014 Corvette, special made," the young fellow boasted. "It cost me nearly $80,000."
The old fellow leaned in and took a look. He saw the stick shift on the floor, the stylish steering wheel, and the speedometer that registered over 200 mph.
"Mighty nice," the old man said.
One of the funniest stories I've heard in a while is about the especially handsome man who decided it was his God-given responsibility to marry an extraordinarily beautiful woman so they could have the best looking children ever.
He happened onto a farmer who had three breathtakingly gorgeous daughters. So he explained to the farmer his mission, and asked permission to marry one of his daughters. The farmer agreed, telling him to look them over and take his pick.
I was amused the other day to read some suggested voicemails greetings that truly are a sign of the times in which we live.
Here's one that gave a chuckle:
"Hello, I'm not here right now. In fact, I'm out getting a new parakeet. If you leave a message after the beep, I'll be sure to get back to you. Oh, and by the way, a word of advice; never try to clean a parakeet cage with a vacuum cleaner."
And this one:
There's the story of the preacher who worked up quite the appetite after a long day of knocking on doors, inviting people to church.
At the last home he was to visit that day, the lady of the house asked him if he'd like something to eat. He eagerly said yes, and she handed him a bowl filled with a strange, smelly mixture. He wasn't certain what it was, but he was so hungry he began spooning down the contents.
As the preacher ate, he noticed this little pig running around the kitchen, squealing loudly and giving him lots of attention.
Beech Grove Baptist
The message was taken from Luke 9:49-56, "Impressions From Jesus."
Elk Lick Baptist
Bro. John's sermon was on Matthew 26:27-28, "Power In the Blood."
All the goats, sheep, doves or anything they scarified weren't good enough. They had to keep sacrificing to cover their sins.
Jesus' blood was shed on the cross once for the atonement for our sins. Jesus' blood has the power to redeem. Jesus' blood can free us from eternity in hell and separate from him in his heavenly glory.
Louise Johnson sang "Without Him."
I love the story about the homesick son who wanted to buy his mom the perfect gift. He searched through every store but nothing struck a chord until he walked into a pet shop and found a parrot that spoke five languages. He immediately paid big bucks for the bird and shipped it home to his mother. A few days later he called and asked her how she liked the parrot. His mom responded, "It was delicious."
The son was sad that his mom had eaten a bird that spoke all those languages. Her response: "Well, why didn't it say something?"
I can't help but laugh when I think of the story I heard long ago about the young preacher's visit with an elderly widow who, upset about losing her dentures, needed to be consoled.
The preacher sat on the sofa and nibbled from a dish of peanuts on the end table while he tried to cheer her with the latest news about her church friends. Before long he realized he had made a real pig of himself and apologized to the woman for having eaten every last one of her peanuts.

Melanie Mallard
this wiki
Melanie "Mel" Mallard is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in the PlayStation Portable version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. She and her missions are not in either the Nintendo DS or the iPhone/iPod versions of the game.
Melanie Mallard, also known as "Mel" by her friends, was born in 1971, and by 2009, she lived in Dukes. At some point prior to 2009, Melanie turned in to the world of film-making, however, she wasn't very successful in her work, failing to get her big break.
Events of GTA Chinatown Wars
Working with Huang and Chan
Looking to make her big break in journalism, documentary filmmaker Melanie Mallard has made a deal with Chan Jaoming that she believes will help her finally make a name for herself as she captures the Triads' rule of the City's drug trade on camera. Huang Lee escorts her around as she films the action.
Betrayal and Death
- "That bitch has betrayed me! How could she treat me like this? I thought we meant something to each other."
- ―Chan Jaoming, upon Melanie's betrayal.
Later, Chan learns that Melanie wants to reveal Chan and Huang's identities on the documentary without obscuring their faces, after she was given a show in Channel 15. Huang arrives to Melanie's office, kills her guards and kidnaps her after knocking her out with a bat. Melanie's cameraman, however, takes the tape that shows Huang and Chan and tries to escape, but is chased and killed by Huang. Huang brings Melanie to the docks, alongside with Chan. Chan and Huang confront Melanie, who puts blame on Huang. Chan then says that he loved Melanie, and "love betrayed him". Melanie tries to make Chan let her go. After a few momments, Chan gives Melanie to go away from the place. However, as Melanie goes to her way, Chan rises his SMG and shoots Melanie a few times in the head, killing her.

Owls, like hawks, can be used for long-distance communication. Motoi is able to summon owls so that he can quickly relay messages from the Island Turtle to Kumogakure.
- The owl summoned by Motoi has whisker-marks like Naruto's and markings on its stomach.
- In the anime, the ninja monks from the Fire Temple use owls as messenger birds.[1]

Being members of the USA Water Ski and the Global Sports Alliance we will be proud to raise the Ecoflag, the flag the United Nations Environment Program recognizes as a symbol of clean air, clean water and all other attributes of a healthy world! We encourage individuals and all other sport disciplines to consider doing the same," said John Dicus, AKA Chairman of the Board and National Tournament Coordinator.
The American Kneeboard Association is known as the leading authority of competitive kneeboarding in the United States. The AKA is a water ski discipline of USA Water Ski, the national governing body of all water skiing in the United States.

Comments On Jun 23, 2013:you get what you pay for, some stretching after 18 hours, if you don't mind a little more adjustment on the the bike because of the stretching chain, then, this is a descent chain. other chains have not needed adjustment til well over 45 hours
good average chain

Comments On Jul 28, 2011:After about 400 miles of riding on my XR650L - some moderate offroad - this chain has stretched to the point where it is quite loose around the sprockets.
I bought it because of reviews that said it was strong and didn't stretch, but that's not the case for the Big Red Pig XR650L. I'll have to get a quality o-ring for my replacement.
One plus about the chain is that it has stayed very clean because of the gaps in the inner links; no gook or mud piling on at all.
It might be the right chain for a lower torque bike.

Comments On Apr 14, 2011:This may be just a regular chain but it is made very sturdy and strong.They wear exceptionally well and last a very long time.The o ring type chain i bought also was a primary drive chain and it took 2 years to stretch out and wear.Still working i just purchased this one for when the o ring chain wears out.You must maintain a chain to extend its life.If anyone tells you their chain wore out fast it was because they did not take care of it properly and keep it in adjustment.

text: There are two essential and noteworthy albums to look out for by two artists at their musical peak, which include the late-greats guitarist Wes Montgomery and bassist Charles Mingus. Both men are still very much revered for their signature sound and undeniable ability to connect with diverse audiences all over the world. Resonance Records' critically acclaimed Wes Montgomery album, Echoes of Indiana Avenue, is significant because it's the first full album of unheard Montgomery music in over 25 years. The collection of previous unreleased music by the influential 1960s jazz guitarist features nine newly discovered pre-1960 tracks that showcase Montgomery's evolving solo talents. Montgomery died in 1968. Continue Reading →

Greetings for the coming week, and in the last one those with an interest might have noted a newspaper heading stating "Counsel's absence stalls Liyumba phone case again".
This familiar scenario, is hardly worth a mention, as for decades court cases here have been delayed because of the 'lost file' syndrome……'the missing keys to the desk that contains the file', 'the magistrate's sick mother in the village….. 'the judge's urgent medical check-up', and a myriad other excuses, not remotely excusable.
…. in mid 2009, these became an epidemic! On August l4th, This Day paper reported "EPA case postponed as magistrate fails to turn up".
On the adjoining page was "Chenge case postponed as DPP still holding original charge sheet". On the 26th August could be read, "Court shelves Jeetu Patel case, as presiding magistrate has lost a relative", and just three days later on the 29th The Guardian informed readers, "Inquiry into death of remandee Juma Lissu put off again".
In the case of Mr. Lissu, allegedly beaten to death by police in Arusha, a lawyer acting for the family said the latest adjournment was due to 'other duties' at the high court but prior to that, ….."the coroner was attending a funeral", then ….." the coroner was on leave, and the acting one had no mandate to act".
A shocking tally given the short time span over which they occurred and the fact that every deferred case has cost implications and remandees returned to prison.
For some in the legal profession here, failure to turn up (couldn't they be fined?), or causing people to wait for long periods, seems of little consequence, and while having the right to exercise 'contempt of court' when applicable, few are challenged on being contemptuous of the wider public.
An indifference to time is common in many areas of public service, but prisoners on remand for six years takes it to new levels. Some years ago, remandees at Keko prison, went on hunger strike to publicise their plight, gaining Tanzania negative airtime on world news broadcasts…. and they could still be there today!
The government defence was 'congestion' in the system, but if the system is unworkable and inefficient, then congestion is the self perpetuating result.
Whilst there's been educative improvements in recent years, in courts nation wide, corruption can still be compounded by ignorance, and vice versa.
This was particularly true of some primary courts where untutored magistrates could wield enormous powers, often aided by people who were so desultory in their duties, that the 'missing file syndrome' was almost a forgone conclusion, intentional or not. When allied to limited resources, the waters get further muddied, making fair play even more unlikely.
Anyway, we know the quote "all men are equal, but some are more equal than others", and if cases are ever rapidly processed through the courts here, it's undoubtedly been due to 'unequal' connections' …… lucky chicken thieves might expect a six year wait…. the unlucky ones are beaten to death on the streets!.
In 2004, former President Mkapa at the 25th Anniversary celebrations of the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, made a speech rightly condemning trials that drag on endlessly for frivolous reasons and excuses.
This was evident in the infamous corruption case brought against former Minister for Works, Nalaila Kiula and four others in 2000. From the very start, when this case, which had already taken over four years of preparation and investigation, first came up for mention on January l2th, it was adjourned as the Kisutu Court magistrate couldn't proceed because the file was still at the High Court…..all of five minutes away!
The hearing was then postponed till January 25th, and I jokingly urged them in print to send a messenger off immediately with the documents, so he'd have l3 days to cover the distance on time. One year later the prosecution was still floundering, so there wasn't any hurry after all!
I'm citing these cases in the hope we've made improvements, but fast forward to today, and has there been enough reform in the judicial machinery over the last twelve years to strengthen public confidence in it?
Officiating at Law Day celebrations earlier this month, President Kikwete backed calls for alternative punishments to reduce prison overcrowding. But was he tempted to ask "what took you so long?"…….or should they have asked him, I don't know which, but it doesn't appear to have been a serious area of priority.
Law Day marks the start of the Court Calendar Year throughout the country, and the theme this year is "Alternative penalties for criminal cases and its advantage to the public". An uninspiring slogan, not likely to set the pulses racing and invite interest, but a move in the right direction never the less.
It makes sense if 'alternative penalties' means community work etc. instead of custodial punishment. In which case the lower courts must stop dispensing brutal disproportionate sentences for petty crime.

NEW YORK CITY (WUSA) -- For the last century, the US Post Office has been helping average people play Santa Claus for kids in need. It's a program called Operation Santa and it kicks off on Tuesday, but the "Dear Santa" letters have already started to arrive at New York City's main post office.
"Dear Santa, I am writing this letter to you because I really want gifts this year, but I don't think my parents have the money to really get me anything," reads Pete Fontana, Operation Santa's Chief Elf.
Some of the letters make him smile.
"One child wrote, 'Dear Santa give me one of every toy you ever made.' Another one said, 'Give me a million dollars in small bills. Thank you.' And that's all he wrote," said Fontana.
But others make him wish he could do much more for the children writing the letters.
"Dear Santa, can you please bring a blanket for my Mommy?" reads Fontana.
It's letters like that which led to the founding of Operation Santa back in 1912 when a group of post office employees decided to start helping Santa fulfill the Christmas wishes of children in need. One hundred years later, those employees are still Santa's biggest helpers. They open his mail, sort it, and file it for anonymous donors to adopt. This year, New York City's main post office alone will receive roughly 10,000 letters to Santa every day during the holidays. Fontana says many of those letters are from the victims of Superstorm Sandy.
"We're seeing letters saying that I have lost everything I own, that I won't be able to buy anything for the kids this year," said Fontana.
But the elves can only do so much. It's up to people to make sure these holiday wishes come true. Click here to learn how to adopt a "Dear Santa" letter from the U.S. Post Office.
