This is what happens when the offseason rolls around and I really have no rooting interest among the four remaining MLB teams in the respective League Championship Series. I write 2000 words about something that will never, ever happen. At least thats what happened to me Sunday.
But its not my fault. Im blaming my fellow Knuckleballs blogger, Eric, and this Sunday morning Tweet:
@ERolfPleiss Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe says Red Sox should target Mauer and/or Morneau this winter. #MNTwins http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2012/10/13/few-ideas-shore-red-sox-roster/npiJ3r49NrtnhnGInPoQ1L/story.html
Having nothing better to do, I clicked the link to Cafardos article, which goes through several possible moves the Red Sox could make to get their team back on track, starting with trading for Joe Mauer. Cafardo mentions that the Red Sox are reportedly a bit gunshy about taking on more expensive long-term contracts and wonders if the Twins would eat some of his salary. On the other hand, if youre the Twins, the only reason to deal Mauer would be to get out from under that contract. Putting those factors together, you quickly conclude that any such deal is beyond unlikely and bordering on unthinkable.
But this is the offseason and whats the offseason for if not to think about the unthinkable?
Im not surprised to see a Boston writer bring up Mauers name as a possible target for the Red Sox. In fact, given how old and fragile the Yankees line up is looking, Id be shocked if Mauers name didnt appear in more than one New York writers How to Fix the Yankees column in coming weeks, as well.
Joe Mauer (Knuckleballs photo)
But there are any number of logical reasons why Joe Mauer wont be going anywhere. Local boy. Popular with local fans. Historically great hitting catcher. Huge contract. No-trade clause. The list goes on.
But if youll promise not to misinterpret this as an article suggesting that Mauer either should or will be traded, lets at least take a look at whether there are any circumstances under which Terry Ryan might actually consider a discussion.
Lets just say, for the sake of argument, that Boston GM Ben Cherington places a call to Ryan and asks the simple question, Can we talk about Joe Mauer?
Understand, its unlikely that question would even be asked. Cherington is unlikely to be looking to take on $23 million per year long-term contracts. Still, as Cafardo points out, Mauer would fit nicely in to a line up that would accommodate a catcher/1B/DH like Mauer. He might also set some kind of modern-day record for doubles in Fenway Park. Bringing in a legitimate superstar would send a strong message to Red Sox Nation that the team has no intention of taking several years to rebuild their brand. And lets be honest, the Red Sox can afford to pay Mauer his money. They freed up a lot of payroll space with their late-season deals and if they decide to let David Ortiz walk away, theyll have even more money to play with.
So just maybe the Red Sox could see themselves calling about Mauer. But should the Twins even answer that call? That answer may not be as obvious as many fans think.
The Twins gave Mauer an excessive contract before the 2010 season because they could not afford, from a public relations standpoint, not to sign him at any price he and his agent demanded. Opening a new stadium built largely with public funding, with virtually every seat bought and paid for through season tickets (and a waiting list of people willing to replace any holder who drops out), there was no way the Twins could allow themselves to be seen as letting the local hero get away because they didnt want to pay for him. For the first time in franchise history, money really didnt matter.
But those days are nothing more than a misty memory today. The Twins are coming off of consecutive seasons of more than 95 losses and attendance is dropping. Put those factors together and it wouldnt be unrealistic to expect the Twins to slash payroll for the second straight offseason. Today, money does matter. Paying one player $23 million dollars when your total payroll is $110 million is one thing. Doing so when your total payroll is $85 million is something else, altogether.
Still, its not like the Twins are destitute, either. With the money coming off the books after the past season, Terry Ryan has enough payroll to work with to make improvements to his team. There arent a lot of top of the rotation pitchers out there, but there are plenty of more reasonably priced arms on the market and he even has a couple of trade chips he can afford to flip for pitching if he wants to go that direction. Also, despite what some folks might think, Joe Mauer is still really, really good at baseball and hes likely to stay good for a number of years. You dont just give that kind of talent away for a handful of magic beans (or in this case, for just a few million dollars of payroll space).
What this all means is that if, as Cafardo suggests, Cherington asks TR whether the Twins would eat any of Mauers contract, the answer would be (or at least should be), hell no! But what if Boston agrees to take on that contract?
Conventional wisdom in these kinds of trades is that the team trading a big contract either gets high level prospects back by eating some salary OR gets marginal prospects back while dumping the entire contract. Thats considered fair return.
Yet the Red Sox themselves managed to not only unload more debt owed to
less talented players on to the Dodgers a couple of months ago, but got legitimate talent back in return, as well. They should be congratulated for that. They should also be reminded of that when they call the Twins about Joe Mauer. Fair is a relative term. Fair depends on how badly you want what I have. If you dont want Mauer that badly, thats fine. If you do, then shut up about fair and lets get serious.
There are 3-4 players in the Red Sox system that the Twins would have to target as possible players theyd need in return. Im not any kind of expert on minor league players, but fortunately I know how to read things written by people who are. I also have a pretty good idea what the Twins need (then again, who doesnt at this point?).
Any discussion with the Red Sox about Mauer would have to start with the Twins dumping his entire contract AND getting at least one of the following players in return:
Allen Webster: 22 year old right-handed starting pitcher that the Sox got from the Dodgers in the Crawford, et al, trade. Hes got a mid-90s fastball and strikes out nearly a batter per inning. He pitched in AA this season and should be a AAA arm to start 2013. He was the #2 prospect in the Dodgers organization prior to the trade.
Matt Barnes: Righty starting pitcher was the Sox first round pick out of UConn in 2011 and covered both levels of A-ball in 2012. Barnes also has a mid-90s fastball and strikes out a ton of hitters. Hes likely to be a year behind Webster in terms of being Major League ready, however.
Garin Cecchini: 21 year old 3B had a .305/.394/.433 split in high-A ball in 2012. He also stole 51 bases in 57 attempts. He hasnt shown a lot of power yet but hits a ton of doubles. With Will Middlebrooks perhaps entrenched at 3B for the Red Sox, Cecchini could be blocked unless hes converted to a 2B. The Twins could use help in either spot.
Speaking of third basemen being blocked by Middlebrooks, the Red Sox top prospect is reportedly Xander Bogaerts. Bogaerts is playing shortstop and the Sox hope he can stay there but scouts have doubts about whether he will be able to do that. They think he will more likely need to move to 3B or, perhaps even more likely, a corner OF spot or 1B. He was just 19 years old through the past season but has already shown both an ability to hit for average and power through Class A and even in a month of games at AA. It sounds like Boston has their own version of Miguel Sano, but its unlikely theyd trade him for anyone. I wouldnt.
With Cecchini and Bogaerts knocking on the door, maybe Boston should consider trading Middlebrooks?
A step below these guys would be someone like Henry Owens, who is a 20 year old string bean of a pitcher with what appears to be a lot of potential. Hes 67 and a bit over 200 pounds and only throws in the low 90s at this point. But he had 130 strikeouts in 101.2 innings at Class A in 2012 and that would certainly move him to the top of the Twins starting pitching prospects list in a hurry.
If the Twins could score one of these top prospects from Boston in addition to shedding Mauers contract, Ryan could then be free to have conversations with his peers about Major League level pitching without being as concerned about salary. Would a trade for someone like James Shields (who has a $9 mil club option with the Rays in 2013) then be something worth considering?
Terry Ryan (Knuckleballs photo)
But even if Ryan and Cherington could come to some kind of agreement, what about that pesky no-trade clause in Mauers contract? Would he even consider giving approval? Lets just say I no longer believe its necessarily a certainty that hed say no to such a deal.
On the one hand, Joes a very private person and it would seem that moving to a large-market team that is as dysfunctional as the Red Sox has been would be counter-intuitive. On the other hand, hes a really big fish in a mid-market fishbowl and you wonder if he might not welcome the opportunity to be just one of many mega-stars in the New England sports scene. As Cafardo points out, Mauer also lives in Fort Myers in the offseason. Guess who, besides the Twins, has their Spring Training facility in Fort Myers? Yep the Sawx.
Lets also be honest about something else. Despite the colossal belly flop of a season that the Red Sox had in 2012, if you were Mauer and were weighing the Sox against the Twins as to which organization was more likely to field a Championship level team over the remaining six years of your contract, theres no doubt who you would see as being more likely. Boston may not always make the right decisions, but their clear goal every year is to win it all. And every year, they make moves they believe will give themselves a better shot at doing so. You simply can not say that about the Twins.
Joe Mauer is not a naïve little boy any more. Family is important. But he already lives in Florida half the year and the life of a MLB ballplayer during the season doesnt leave much time for family anyway. With Boston training in Fort Myers, I think they might just be one team he would consider waiving his no-trade deal for.
So, IF the Red Sox call IF Terry Ryan will listen IF the Red Sox would take on the entire contract and IF the Twins could also get a top prospect (or two?) in return would Mauer agree to a trade?
Lets just say that if, like me, you are one who never wants to see Joe Mauer in anything but a Twins uniform, we should probably hope it doesnt come down to that last factor.
[EDIT: CORRECTIONS made to originally incorrect statements concerning the timing of Mauer's contract. Thanks for pointing out the error, Winston Smith.]

Hey guys,
I'm just wondering, can I take a 4 channel amp and use the 2 front channels to power 4 4ohm speakers, and use the 2 back channels to power a sub?
Obviously i would need a 4 channel amplifer that would allow for different cut off for the front and back. Is there anything else I should be aware of if this can be done?
Is there anything you would recommend? I'm trying to do this cheap.

Thread: Paul Ryan!!!
"Nothing in this opinion remotely suggests that section 5 bars all covered jurisdictions from implementing photo ID laws," the court ruled. "To the contrary, under our reasoning today, such laws might well be precleared if they ensure (1) that all prospective voters can easily obtain free photo ID, and (2) that any underlying documents required to obtain that ID are truly free of charge."
Bolded for emphasis. The court ruled that underlying documents should also be free. Interesting. That means you need to provide free IDs. You also need to provide free birth certificates. The costs continue to mount for this nonsense to pass...
From liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens writing the 6-3 majority upholding the Indiana photo ID law:
"That flagrant examples of [voter] fraud…have been documented throughout this Nation's history by respected historians and journalists…demonstrate[s] that not only is the risk of voter fraud real but that it could affect the outcome of a close election."
Go read the majority opinion.
Of course, Justice Steven eats up the BS fed to him from Fox news.
Don't you think it's ironic to attack one for using a Fox news story and then cite extreme and unapologetic left wing sources in TheNation and Talkingpointsmemo?
Let me know if this is admissible evidence:
Also, the right wing group (sarcasm) American University found that less than one half of 0.5% of votes don't currently have ID in states where laws have gone into effect.
Last, "In Georgia, which enacted a photo ID law before the 2008 election, the number of African American voters increased after the new law went into effect. "According to Census Bureau surveys," von Spakovsky writes, "65 percent of the black voting-age population voted in the 2008 election, compared with only 54.4 percent in 2004, an increase of more than ten percentage points."
I know you want to keep pushing that this is a GOP issue, though this is impossible given the numbers and a Rasmussen poll in 2008 which found that only 22% oppose voter ID laws. So why don't you answer your own question put to those opposing the law: Why does the DNC oppose these laws? Could it be that most fraud is to their benefit?
Conservatives have long wondered why so many elections are close and/or go to the democrat candidate since it is well know that the majority of voters self identify as conservative/republican. One would think that having that demographic majority would yield a majority of GOP winners. Since this is not the case, is it not reasonable to ask why the disparity?

I wasn't referencing the article, only the segment where the state did not find evidence of voter fraud. You can find that information all over the place, that just happened to be the first relevant Google result I found. I don't even read that website.
Gee, maybe the first black candidate for President had something to do with increased voter turnout. Effect does not equal causality.
Most voters don't identify as Republican. Except for a brief surge in our post-9/11 world, that hasn't been the case for 20 years.
Referring to the hack video you posted you have now said:
[QUOTE=Brock Beauchamp;50600]
This is all anyone should have to see about voter ID to see that the motivations behind the law have absolutely nothing to do with "cleaning up" the voting process. It's a cockblock of the vote, nothing more.
I can't tell you his intent, only the way his words come off... That the PA Voter ID law will win the state for Romney and that it has a positive impact for the GOP and a negative impact on Democrats.[/QUOTE
Again, let me suggest that you hear what you want to hear, appropriating this issue, the evidence and quotes to a preconceived narrative/meme.Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.

On the thread topic: Does any one still see Paul Ryan as a straight-shooter or a moderate after last night's speech?
Did it ever occur to you that the reason Republicans aren't winning national elections is because of people like me? People who used to vote Republican consistently but became so disenfranchised with the party over the past decade that they can no longer tolerate their stance on issues such as gay rights (didn't matter when nobody was going to vote in same-sex marriage) or abortion (before they started trying to restrict womens' options)? Add in the GOP's staunch support of the Patriot Act (not that the Dems are much better), their fiscal irresponsibility, and their desire to continue ballooning the defense budget and I no longer have any reason to vote for the party as a whole.
Those people may still call themselves "conservatives" but the GOP has spent so much time leaving an awful taste in our mouths that we can no longer consistently vote GOP in good conscience. It's no coincidence that the "Indepedent" moniker has been gaining traction in recent years while the GOP's numbers have declined. The Republican Party continues to slide further right and continues to disenchant people who don't share some of their more insane viewpoints.
I mean, come on.
edit: I found that, technically speaking, Ryan's statement is true... but it's disingenuous to the point of lying. In December of 2008, GM shut down SUV production in Janesville, costing the area over 2,000 jobs.
Four months later in April of 2009, Isuzu shut down their part of the plant, which cost a whopping 57 jobs.
But I believe both announcements preceded Obama's inauguration.
08-30-2012, 03:39 PM #212Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.
A little levity from a libertarian website (Whether the author is or not I can't know. And even if I knew, that wouldn't entitle me to claim to know anything more *wink)
"Looks like some racist judge loves him some poll taxes. Because he's racist. And wants to disenfranchise the millions upon millions of people studies from "non-partisan" and "independent" leftwing groups have shown will lose their franchise if they are required to engage in the onerous, unfair, and frankly racisty, polltaxy indignation of having to show a photo ID proving that they are who they are should they wish to vote.After all, it is much easier for our own Justice Department to sue to allow anybody who wants to to vote — several times, in fact, or even while dead, or not a citizen, or not human — than it is to get photo ideas [sic] to people without them. Which is an insurmountable obstacle.Moreso, it is just and fair to sue on behalf of these poor photo-less wretches yearning to be free. And decidedly non-racist, too boot. And decidedly non-polltaxy. Which is how we know that this judge is a racist — having upheld this racist polltax that unfairly and in a very racist way requires people to show ID before voting for other people's ****."
Forgive the quoted swear word, but it seems this cite's guidelines/rules have already been bent/broken by one of their promulgators, wink*Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.
We have no issues with swear words on this site. If you want to use one that we "don't allow", it will simply appear starred out. That's why the word filters are there in the first place.
Sadly enough, I'm pretty sure this bill is going to pass in MN. The only hope I have is that Federal Judges will continue to shoot them down, as what happened today with the Texas bill.
On the other hand, I think MN has a damned good shot at stemming the flow of anti-marriage amendments that have been sweeping the country and I'll be damned proud of the state if we do it. I'm seeing more and more of those orange "Don't Restrict Marriage" signs plunked down in front lawns (including my own).
But in the case of Voter ID laws, I think that's a losing battle in the polling booth. Sigh.

Missed the point on that. The point is that it's not like a poll tax as was suggested. No ID is full proof, but it certainly cuts down fraud, or are you suggesting driver ID, ID to buy a guy be done away with because they can be faked?
FYI - if you're honest here, you're going to realize that this massive concentration of time and campaigning is for a gain that is so minimal you should be ashamed of the pretentious tact you've taken. But by all means - post numbers. Not opinions. Facts. Burden of proof is on you.
"tating that a number of election precincts in Philadelphia that are reliably Democratic have produced results which showed that more than 100 percent of registered voters cast ballots in some years in districts where turnout is normally low. It is true that these areas are also largely African-American, but that does not make such results more explicable or less suspicious.Does anyone really believe Philadelphia is the only place in America where there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud? The Supreme Court doesn't. In 2008, it upheld an Indiana law requiring voter ID saying that it posed no undue burden on voters. And in his majority opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that "not only is the risk of voter fraud real but...it could affect the outcome of a close election.""
Or are all articles I post that say something is true acceptable as facts?
Self-righteous? Condescending? Since I've never engaged you, I would think we'd have a fresh start civilly. Brock flew off the handle and said some pretty insulting things before my rejoinder.
How do you know?
Igain, see the piece linked above and the portion I've copied above. Even with this, you will still believe that this is about racism with this video as the smoking gun. Why? Because you WANT to believe that the GOP is racist. If they weren't your head would explode.

After months of rumours, it was announced today that Dan is order cheapest propecia online in final talks for the lead role in Frankenstein for 20th Century Fox. Directed by Paul McGuigan, with a script by Max Landis, the film is "a tale of friendship and viagra 50 mg redemption".
Igor (aka Hunchback) is described as "Dirty and pathologically so. He wears old clown clothes, faded. His slouched posture and long hair is offset by his intelligent eyes.
During a panel at Comikaze 2012, Landis said "Instead of viagra prescription only making the accurate version, what if I write a version that everyone already thinks exists. And I do the best cool version of it. Igor is the fast delivery viagra main character. Hey guys, Igor may be Daniel Radcliffe."
Frankenstein is set to begin filming once Dan has finished his West End run in The Cripple of Inishmaan.
ETA: Thanks to Titch, who found this interview with Max Landis which sheds a little more light on the film.
That's when the idea came to http://www.variva.nl/generic-viagra-now me: instead of trying to do some high minded "revisionist" Frankenstein, why not try to stay true to a version that only lives in the zeitgeist, and has NEVER REALLY EXISTED.
And why not do it in an intelligent, hopefully, thoughtful way, about friendship and science, genius and madness, love and ambition, life and death?
Why not use that imaginary, fairy dust framework of "guy with hunchbacked assistant makes monster" and make it fun, sad, scary and hopefully, I really hope this, moving.
We're currently uploading a compilation of video of Dan's appearance at the Oscars, including the opening number, presenting an award, and a shot of him in the audience. As soon as it has finished processing on Vimeo, we'll post it here. But whilst you're waiting, you can download the file!
Thank you to Titch, who found this interview with Dan at the Governors Ball.
From the buy viagra without a perscription Facebook of Dan's Oscar partner in crime, Joseph Gordon-Levitt:
Couldn't agree more, sir, couldn't agree more!
There is a rather off-the-wall fan made video of the filming at Shell Cottage in Pembrokeshire currently making the rounds of the various Potter fan sites, and you can see it…

no offense casanova but i fail to see a reason to compliment someone on the look of an install when they paid someone else to do it. albiet you now have a beautiful car, but i give my props to the guys who did the install. anybody with money can pay to have a car done, but there are those of us who regardless of how much we can pay would rather put our own sweat blood and determination into a project rather than paysomeone else to do it. congrats on the trophies and all, but they seem like hollow victories to me.
i'm not tring to be a dick here but i just get annoyed by people who talk a lot but didn'd do any of the **** themselves.
and to be honest i don't think someone that fits that description deserves to run something of the quality of polk, maybe you should have looked into audiobahn or sony.

Emanuel Sandhu's message to Korean fans!
Anyone have access to Eman's FP? (Thanks either way.)
"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
His SP looked great & of course his spins were beautiful. Im glad to see him skate again I hope he gets some funding, finds a choreographer(cough..Jeffrey Buttle..cough), a coach, and we get to see him skate some more
His nickname is "Goong Shin" which translates to "Hip God". (See http://i48.tinypic.com/2iaa3bm.jpg for the reason.)
They like his powerful, unique and stylish skills. Hope to see him in Korea
Is he planning on continuing to compete or was this just a one time thing?
I was there for both SP & LP-- first time seeing Emanuel live. I've heard commentators use that hyberbolic "they have cast a spell on this audience," but never really got it. His LP, even with the fall, was just that. It was such a treat to see him live, especially such great programs of his.
I admit I'm a huge sucker for Emanuel. I think it would be wonderful if he continued, but regardless I hope he's happy with how this competition went.
"How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling" -- Jane's Addiction
"I miss footwork that has any kind of a discernible pattern. The goal of a step sequence should not be for a skater to show the same ice coverage as a Zamboni and take about as much time as an ice resurface. " ~ Zemgirl, reflecting on a pre-IJS straight line sequence
He seemed subdued at practice, but looked so happy and gratified at the very warm response he received from the audience.
I was surprised and pleased to see him at the gala practice; kudos to SC for inviting him to participate in the gala, a very nice mark of respect for a former champion. It was a bit jarring to see him practicing out there with the young teenagers like Chartrand and Daleman - it highlighted the generational change in the sport. He mostly chatted with Patrick, and clearly loved practicing the finale choreo - he was totally into the dancing. He seemed completely in his element during the gala, more so than during competition.
At this point his tech content isn't competitive and he knows that, so whether he plans to continue and train more seriously, or just wanted the experience of competing again it's hard to say. Very pleased to see him back (whatever his plans may be) and to see him welcomed so warmly. It would be great to see him do shows if he chooses not to compete further.
With an 11th overall finish, is he likely to get any assignments next year if he chooses to continue?
Even though Sandhu had a previously high 5th place finish in 2006 and was seeded for the 2006-7 Grand Prix, I don't think he qualifies as a "Comeback skater", which is defined as ("placed 1 to 6 within the past 10 years at an ISU Figure Skating Championships) and subsequently did not participate in one or more competitive seasons" [emphasis added]. He competed subsequently at 2007 Worlds and finished 16th, which should disqualify him if the ISU meant what's in the GP Announcement literally. Weir and Ando, two skaters who've used the provision, were Top 6 at their last WC's before applying.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
At the age of 32, I would think competing this season is just a one time thing. As much as I love his skating, I think it would be awesome if he started coaching, or doing choreography or even dance/ballet training. He could really be a benefit to skaters in may ways. I say that knowing nothing about what he is currently doing.....he must have some sort of job to support himself. Does anyone know?
That would be great for Sandhu if they did not mean subsequent Worlds. Skate Canada would have to submit his name. I think that would be fair, since they "retired" him from the GP previously by not submitting his name when he would have been eligible.
There was lot of talk on TSN/CTV about how he might be looking for closure and how this might be a one-off thing. One of the commentators said he missed being on the ice, and this could be an avenue to be invited to shows. Katherine Healey went back and forth between skating and dance. Sandhu might be able to combine the two.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
That Sandhu received low scores in PE and IN at the nationals is a piercing manifestation of the judging system's sophistry. His beautiful, mesmerizing performances were simply a luxurious joy to watch.
Im really fond of Sandhu's performances at Canadian Championships. It was like he was oozing joy about being able to compete and skate at that level again. Very inspiring to watch. Liked it better than many of his performances with much more difficult content. Just proof that skating is not all about jumps.

I can't believe the work you put into it - it looks and sounds amazing.

Jeff was a tremendous help and we can't thank Cosmo Music more for your contribution. The event went very well and we are extremely happy with the turn out. Jeff was very timely and efficient and did an amazing job, we couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks again guys, we really appreciate it.

Just in case anyone wanted to write anything about Drachen Regiment von Templin, but didn't want to post text in the other thread, I've started this thread.
I welcome comments and feedback. Please be aware that I have an oversensitive subconscious, and take any and all criticism to heart, where I bury it away and later release my pent up fury inappropriately. So bear that in mind while crushing my spirit.
This comic is born out of a desire to write a novel, but not being very good at it. So a Comic seemed the next best thing. And I'm not much of an artist, so this is the best I can do at the moment. Perhaps I will improve. One can only hope.
The artwork is based largely on the Order of the Stick comic, but instead of heroes with broadswords, we have a more 1700s feel. And Dragons. Which I call Drachens, because it is more exotic.
The characters have toy horses because I cannot for the life of me draw a horse that looks even remotely sensible. Try it for yourself. It can't be done! Also, the toy horses are more fun.
Templin is a small village outside of Berlin, where my ancestors lived until migrating to Australia in the 1860s. So that explains that.
Thanks for reading here and there. I'm going to try and post two to three times a week, depending on real life events.

If you want to kill fewer animals eat a meat only diet. Grass fed only. Seriously.
Anyone who works on a farm knows that growing crops kills massive amounts of animals. Mice, shrews, voles, baby birds, fawns, toads, salamanders, snakes, and millions of insects and lower forms of animals are killed when you plow, seed, mow, cultivate, and harvest plant crops. I've seen all of those killed on my farm, which is a vegetable only operation. That happens whether you farm organic or not, big or small. Animals die. A lot of them. And you have to keep killing a few (mice, rats, squirrels) to keep your crops safe after harvest.
Now if you eat grass fed beef, you only kill one animal, and the land that feeds that animal is a nice environment for all those animals that would be killed if that ground were under cultivation.

All about Chad.
For some odd reason all I seem to think about is Chad, all I every listen to now is Chad. I must be in love with him and his voice. For 2 days in a row, I've been listening to 'Why don't you and I'. I absoutly love my profile pic. It's my back ground, youtube channel back ground and profile pic, and my facebook profile pic. I love it! Do any of you Nickelback fans understand?? Cuz I sure don't! the only songs that I know of that have just Chad are 'Into The Night', and 'Why Don't You And I'. He sounds a thousand times better alone. But that's just my opion(spelled wrong). I just can't figure out why I love him so much. It's like he's stolen my heart away from me and he doesn't even realize it.
haha I was just gonna say BlackVeil Brides lol they are brilliant and I do love his voice @ PurdyGirl101
@Zezza i totally understand you on that Bieber and 1 D stuff i dun like it or get it lmao ill just stick with my "oldies" xD and I dun care if he could be my dads age hes still hot and i still have a crush there is only one other man i have a crush on that is my dad's age but i must say my "Love Remains The Same" Gavin Rossdale 46 (Bush Frontman)
I hate bieber. I don't know who one direction is... All my friends know I love Chad. Nothing new there. I have this new band I've been listening to for almost 2 months straight. Thier lead singer has a deep voice just like Chad but it's different, how I don't know. They wear makeup like Kiss, thier bass player is insanely hot as they all are just like Nickelback and they sound awsome.Should check them out! (Black Veil Brides is thier name btw!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_121588&feature=iv&src_vid=VuBv9MQyPEs&v=YIkKniBjQ3A here's a quick video if it helps...
I totally understand! :P I love him in every song he sings! He has exactly the kind of voice I love!
And the fact that he is handsome! I never admit to my friends that I think so. All they talk about is Bieber and One Direction (It gets on my nerves) and on the other hand Chad's almost old enough to be my father! But I can't help it! He's just awesome in every way you can imagine! :D

Cartridge Filter
Cartridge filters have a greater surface area than sand allowing for fewer clogs and easier maintenance. They run at lower pressure than sand which puts less backpressure on the pump, providing more flow and turnover. Cartridge filters should be cleaned once or twice a season by simply hosing the cartridge element off. Cartridge element filters trap debris as small as 10 to 15 microns.
