Guardsman aims to increase use of CNG as alternative to foreign oil
Oklahoma National Guard member Justin Steckman wants to help reduce America's reliance on foreign oil, so he and his partners have opened a shop that converts vehicles to run on natural gas.
Justin Steckman got an up-close view of some of the world's energy issues during two deployments with the Oklahoma National Guard.
The thing that struck him most is the use of natural gas in the Middle East as a transportation fuel, while those countries export oil to the United States.
Steckman said that is the reason he decided to get into the compressed natural gas business.
He hopes to ensure his 17-month-old son and other American children don't grow up to be so reliant on imported oil.
"We want something different for them 20 years from now," Steckman said.
He said it makes sense to take advantage of an abundant American resource like natural gas.
"We have this fuel source right underneath our feet," Steckman said.
Steckman said he spent a lot of time researching the natural gas market before moving into the conversion business.
He teamed with Greg Worlund, a longtime friend who also owns a Norman body shop, and Ted Dumas, a former municipal employee who helped set up Norman's CNG program.
The partners opened Total Fleet Solutions LLC in Norman earlier this year. They will host an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday to celebrate the grand opening for their shop at 1601 Deskin Drive.
Steckman, who works for the National Guard as a budget analyst, said the fledgling company is dedicated to customer service, so its open house will include representatives of several local dealerships that sell CNG vehicles and representatives from Communications Federal Credit Union.

I'll say it again: the Mets need an outfielder that hits righty with some pop and preferably on the cheap. Scott Hairston matches this need 100%. Why aren't we talking to him?

Juan Pierre would have fit perfect and cheap where the heck were we on that.
Dickey and Familia for Myers
Get er done Omar
Vlad Guerrero, Johnny Damon and Raul Ibanez. Sadly they are affordable and better than what we have.

It is ridiculous. I know some people will clown me for even saying this, they'll be like, "It's Scott Hairston, no big deal." But that's precisely my point: here you have a guy that fits your needs and probably isn't asking for much and yet we still don't go after him. Give me a break.

What is Hairston's price? Two years, $12 million? More? What is the breaking point for you between obscene and no thank you?
The Yankees decided Russell Martin was pricey at 2 years/$17 million. How obscene is that when you think about it? It's the Yankees! Their best option is Chris Stewart.
The Mets are going to see what price the market sets for Hairston. Then all of will know whether the price is sensible or not.
RIP: Vladythegreat27
I think the Mets should contact the rockies on Dexter Fowler.
- RHP J.Familia, RHP D.Gee, & OF Cap Kirk for Fowler.

4. Davis-1b

8. Thole/Right-Hand bat Platoon-C
Or maybe they think Scott gave them his one lightning in a bottle season and don't want to bother with 6 plus million dollars a year for 2 years.
"Beltran for Wheeler" deals are not the norm, also with the new rules that teams trading for a free agent to be not getting compensation picks, 3 month rentals will have even less value. (I know the Giants knew they weren't going to get compensation for Beltran when they traded Wheeler for him, but again that trade was not the norm)

Bangkok is one of South East Asia's most diverse cities – a thriving commercial and business hub that pulsates with around-the-clock activity and attracts more than 11 million visitors each year. Rich with tradition, religion and culture, as well as entertainment, shopping and dining opportunities (often outrageous in nature), the Thai capital is a paradox of flavours, customs, sights and sounds.
Megamalls share the streets with modest homes. Buddhist temples coexist with men's parlours. Motorbikes jostle for space on the roads, moving as fast as the long-tail boats that work the river. Visitors and dignitaries fill the bars of hundred-storey high skyscrapers, surveying the endless streams of foot traffic that frequent the street's food carts and markets.
Population: Approx. 9.3 million
Area (city): 1,569 km2
Time Zone: GMT +7
Languages: Thai (official)
Currency: Baht (THB)
Electricity: 220v 50Hz
Bangkok experiences a tropical wet and dry climate, with two distinct seasons: monsoon season and the dry season. Monsoon season begins anywhere from May to July and lasts through to November, bringing heavy rain and humid conditions. The dry period follows with cool breezes and relatively lower temperatures, occasionally dipping below 20°C. March to May warms up again, with temperatures regularly soaring up to 40°C and humidity level averaging around 82%.
Name: Suvarnabhumi International terminal
Address: Samut Prakan, Thailand
Location: Suvarnabhumi airport is located 30km east of central Bangkok and acts as Thailand's main international airport.
Hire Cars: Rentals are available with our suppliers at mate's rates. Book your car hire and save.
Taxi: A supervised taxi rank is located outside the terminal on level one.
Bus Transfers: A free shuttle bus allows passengers to travel express from the airport's main terminal to the transport center. From there, a public bus provides access to Bangkok and surrounding areas.
Airport Rail Link: Airport Rail Link connects Suvarnabhumi International Airport with downtown Bangkok. The express lines run to Makkasan in 15 minutes and Phayathai in 18 minutes, while the City Line makes six stops between the airport and Phayathai Station, completing a 28km route in 30 minutes. Services run from 6am to midnight.
Enjoying a prime downtown location on Surawongse Road, just a few minutes' walk from major train stations, the Tawana Hotel is within easy reach of Bangkok's renowned attractions – such as the temple of the reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) and the Grand Palace. Renowned for its high standard service and range of facilities, the hotel is popular among business travellers.
S31 Sukhumvit Hotel offers a luxurious experience in a central location, with extras like an outdoor pool and a fine dining rooftop restaurant, where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nearby attractions include The Emporium shopping mall, Royal Barges National Museum, Elephant Tower and Dusit Zoo.
Grand Diamond Suites Hotel is conveniently located on Petchburi Road, with Platinum Mall and Panthip Plaza on either side, and Pratunam Market just a five minute walk away. Cultural highlights such as Erawan Shrine, Wat Traimit and Wat Saket are all within walking distance, while nearby Makkasan Station offers direct access to Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
Pathumwan Princess Hotel's central location provides easy access to a wide range of Bangkok highlights. The hotel is situated directly adjacent to shopper heaven, the MBK Centre, and is within walking distance to Siam Square, as well as attractions like the Museum Of Imaging Technology, Erawan Shrine and Wat Traimit's famous Golden Buddha.
Located near Bangkok's city centre, the I Residence Hotel provides tailored accommodation for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel's free tuk tuk shuttle offers guests with transfers to the city's efficient rail system, while the Patpong Night Market is within walking distance for guests looking to pick up a bargain.
Bangkok is regarded as a foodie's paradise. Bustling with around-the-clock activity, the Thai capital boasts limitless dining options. Everything for traditional Thai fare to international cuisines can be sampled in markets and skyscrapers, or on the streets and by the Chao Phraya River, as eateries and street vendors choke the cityscape.
Home to Thai people from every corner of the country, Bangkok is a melting pot of Thai culture and cuisines. Presenting a smorgasbord of regional cuisines, the famous Khao San Road is one the city's favourite food haunts. Taste the north-east with a plate of som tum (spicy papaya salad). Experience the south with a helping of seafood yellow curry. Or tuck in to the country's national dish, with a bowl of tom yum koong (herbal and spicy prawn soup). Khao San Road spills with restaurants, shacks and stalls, with something to satisfy all palates and budgets.
Bangkok's most authentic flavours are best experienced through local street food. While the hygiene of street vendors is often questionable, a trip to South East Asia should not be deemed successful without sampling street fare. Local snack food favourites include dishes like kap gaeng (curry with rice), som tam (green papaya salad), pad khee mao (drunken noodles), and yang (chargrilled skewers of meat). Travellers with an adventurous spirit can also test their stomachs on delicacies like pan-fried seasoned ants, grasshoppers, and cockroaches. Bangkok has an endless supply of street vendor; the most popular of which can be found in food zones like Chakraphong Road, Banglamphu Market and Ratchaprasong.
Like most popular holiday destinations, Bangkok highlights cuisines from all over the world, in a myriad of settings and atmospheres. Chinatown's Yaowarat Road brims with Cantonese restaurants and ad hoc seafood stalls selling Chinese delicacies like bird's nest and shark fin soup. Pahurat showcases Bangkok's best Indian offering. The Old Siam Shopping Centre is a tourist haven, home to Western and Thai restaurants, alongside fast food outlets.
Bangkok's Old City is famous for Western and Thai fusion foods. While thriving business and commercial area, Ploenchit draws an upmarket crowd with fine-dining restaurants, busy food courts and western-style chain eateries. For Bangkok's most romantic dining setting, a dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya is a must-do, as Bangkok's star attractions light up at night, beautifully illuminated along the river banks.
Bangkok is a shopper's heaven. A myriad of traditional and contemporary shopping settings, boasts everything from fake designer bags, clothing and accessories, to high-end technological goods and international labels.
Bangkok is renowned to host some South East Asia's best markets. Sprawling and swarming, authentic Thai-style markets cover whole city blocks and attract thousands of bargain-hungry shoppers every day. Bangkok's markets provide the perfect opportunity for visitors with practice and perfect their negotiation skills, as most vendors encourage bartering.
Chatuchak Weekend Market is Thailand's largest market. A maze of 8,000-plus stalls, the bazaar exudes organised chaos, selling household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts, collectibles, foods, and even live animals.
Pratunam Market is a go-to for cheap wholesale textiles and fashion. Pratunam's seamstresses create custom-made garbs and items, amid a diverse array of food stalls selling everything from local cuisines to African and Arabic fare.
Stretching out along Silom Road, in the centre of Patpong 1, Patpong Night Market springs to life at 8pm. Stalls selling cheap souvenirs like copycat watches, bags, accessories, and DVDs, line the street along with restaurants and eateries – which provides the perfect environment for travellers to take in Bangkok's energy and culture.
Modern and progressive, and teeming with business and commercial opportunities, Bangkok has embraced western-style shopping conventions. While markets swarm at street-level, skyscrapers tower into the air, full with department stores and shopping malls.
Eight storeys high, with more than 2,500 shops and stalls, Mah Boon Krong (MBK) Centre separates amateur shoppers from the big leagues – selling everything from clothing to souvenirs to furniture. Visitors looking to pick up a unique personalised Bangkok souvenir should take advantage of the MBK Centre's resident artists, who convert photos into oil or watercolours paintings, or charcoal sketches.
An open air area, catering to a young demographic with trendy restaurants, cafe, designer clothing boutiques, record stores and bookshops, Siam Square is often referred to as the "SoHo" of Thailand. A popular haunt for Bangkok's teenager and young professionals, Siam Square is said to represent the Bangkok-of-the-future.
A recent uplift ban has been issued by PNG for any foreign media personnel intending to enter PNG for journalism/media purposes to Manus Island.

Dynamic Art Nouveau Pendant Brooch
No matter what label is applied – French Art Nouveau, German Jugendstil, Italian Stile or Spanish Modernisme – we can just refer to the movement as breathtaking in form and design.
Here that statement is personified in this pendant brooch of silver and gilt silver. Exquisite aesthetics and exceptional proportion characterize this circa 1900 piece. A half moon form of silver, hand hammered for surface texture. Two smaller half moons of smooth surface silver are enhanced with curved lines terminating in a scroll in a flattened almost two dimensional grille-like element. As a purple sun rising above is a faceted natural amethyst double bezel set.
Below is a frieze of silver embellished with a series of gilt silver pyramidal shapes from which drapes a "fringe" of various lengths of flattened batons suspending sections of silver link chain all terminating with a freshwater pearl drop. Each of the three centermost chains is set with a faceted round natural amethyst forming an inverted triangle shape.
Date: Circa 1900.
Measurements: 3-7/8 inches (10 cm) in length by 1-5/8 inches (4.1 cm) in width. Weight of 13.6 grams (8.7 dwt).
Hallmarks: "935" for silver; maker's mark of "HB".
Condition: Excellent; light wear to gilding which now faint reads closer to a silver color.
Origin: European.

WARNING: Language and Disgusting Content- I'm NOT kidding about this...A friend of mine Posted something on her LJ that she had found and I really wish she hadn't...caused I clicked and look and became horrified and angered beyond belief.I am NOT posting the link here cause it will make you cry and/or rage...it did for me...It's basically a step-by-step series of pictures of soem Asian Girl (on an asian Website) Killing a kitten with her Stileltto heels, using the heel portion...Not only is the act disgusting enough, but someone took pictures AND posted it on the internet!!I hear a lot of protests against the censoring of the internet, but it's crap like this that makes me think it IS a good idea...where do you draw the line on this kind of stuff? What happenes if some child randomlu comes across that site and you have to try and explain that the world is full of sick fuckers that get off on that kind of crap...Makes me want track down those responsible and kill them in the same manner...see how THEY like it...
if that stuff were censored, wouldn't the desire to post it and find ways to have it done increase, as the desire of those little devious weirdos who want to see it? let it be. don't look at it if you don't want to.
Better, I think, to put energy toward campaigning against that sort of violence in the first place, than toward any kind of blanket censorship. Censorship doesn't work and has never worked, and won't work for the internet any better than it did for Popes, Nazis, Southern fundies or other sterling examples of right-thinking people. /minute snarkI agree that (if the images are real; Snopes' opinion is unconfirmed) it's a horrible thing. It sickens me that there's a market for it, and people willing to supply that market. I'm rabidly anti-censorship, however. Heh. Take that as you will.
I'm anti-censorship, too. But some stuff should simply *not exist*. How's that for hypocritical? ;)
Jendaiya wrote:I'm anti-censorship, too. But some stuff should simply *not exist*. How's that for hypocritical? ;)
That's not hypocritcal.There's a big difference between wishing some things didn't exist, and censorship which tries to pretend they don't.
I agree with Jen...I agree on freedom of speech and expression but my god...keep some shit to yourselves, we do NOT want to know...8P
Wont somebody please think of the children!
could it be that some censorship is okay and some isn't?
m a x wrote:could it be that some censorship is okay and some isn't?
True - but who's going to decide?
I'm up for tracking them down and stillettoing them in the same manner.Bastards, that's just not right. But then again neither is censorship as the power to censor things usually ends up in the hands of the powerful who use it for thier own agenda's.-X

You do.

mabinogi wrote:You do.
For everyone? *shudders at the thought*
Em wrote:For everyone? *shudders at the thought*
no, just for you.Everyone else can sort it out for themselves.
Ah, but Mabs, that's not really censorship. That's just refusing to look at what you find distasteful.Censorship means you decide what others cannot look at, too.
That depends.Governments creating laws that make it illegal for adults to pass on certain information or express certain view to those that want to hear it is not ok...and I'd say that even includes things that modern society finds hateful.But there's a bunch of other things that people call "censorship" which although it matches the dictionary definition, is simply not the same thing as what immediately jumps to peoples mind when they hear the word.I think it's one of those words that's too emotive and vague to use in a sensible debate. You'd need to clarify exactly what was happening, and in what way something was being censored.So the short answer is "yes" But mostly because people cry "censorship" at pretty much anything.
It shouldn't be censored because it's upsetting. I've just been to see the World Press Photo exhibition and that was upsetting, but should not under any circumstances be censored because of it (use judgement on where you screen it though - no bus stops or ads in kids' shows). I've also recommended that my more sensitive friend doesn't see it.It should be censored because it's cruelty to animals and therefore presumably illegal. Broadcasting it supports the activity, same as with other less savoury pictures that people get arrested for trading from time to time, which I'm not going to mention here.Complain to the LJ admin people about inappropriate content. They'd be far too busy to police it themselves, and mayhave a policy of taking things like that down. Not sure if they would for just a link though - maybe the admin of the linked site?People will always be attracted to shock value, just out of perverseness.
this reminds me of the australian ratings warning message at the beginning of a movie mabs and i were watching the other night. it featured a family sitting on the couch getting ready to watch a movie and they were all wearing different tshirts with the different ratings on them, like the young boy would get up and explain the "G" and the girl would get up and explain the "M" and so on and so forth. i just found it amusing that afterwards they would give examples of the different types of movies in a few seconds of clips, up to the more mature movies, which in my view rather killed the whole point of the exercise and left you wondering what the message itself was rated.
There a difference between photos taken of war-time atrocites and disasters after the fact and step-by-step photos of Murder...8PI personally like the idea of Stelettoing them to death, but publically so everyone can see what kind of punishments await those who do that kind of thing.Of course I'm all for public humiliation and punishment of prisoners, teach them not to be repeat offenders and maybe put the scare into some of wilder kids.
There's a part of me that totally agrees with you, Ren. They should be punished, publicly.There's another part of me that screams "slippery slope." If you start down that path, set a precedent, then next person publicly punished might have down something just a the tiniest bit less heinous.Then, one day, they come for you.
One day they took the kitten torturers and I did nothing?A bit of a silly, and insulting, comparison, I think.----To be honest, although the torturing of kittens isn't something I condone (I'd have no hesitation in reporting my neighbour to the local RSPCA [google it] if I came across them stilettoing kittens), I'd probably just blink and pass on by on the internet.What kind of reaction did your friend intend to provoke by posting a link to it on their LJ?Some people do bad things. Some people get off on doing bad things and causing outrage. Why give them the satisfaction, if you're not going to get anywhere?
Footle, it may be a extreme comparison, but whose to say *shrugs* Where do we draw the line. Where does one's right to self expression end?Also, what if the person who posted the pictures didn't actually perform the deed, just took and published the pictures? Should they be tarred with the same brush as the person who committed the atrocity? Or should they be held to a lower standard?This stuff makes my head hurt.I will retreat to silly, fun stuff (like the Mint) and say no more.
Aiding and abetting wanton cruelty seems like a perfectly sane place to draw the line.You'll note that that quite neatly ties together both kitten stilettoing and bullfighting in one neat drawstring bag.For my next trick I'll try to ensure that Halal meat and swotting flies fall through the gaps in the bag.
I belive in censorship, but censorship is impossible in our information era due to objective reasons, so the end of days is coming near...I'm serious. This world has become too crazy about itself.There are much , much much more worse things in the net, then dead kittens(though I really feel sorry for the animals) .You know what I mean and about what I speak of- and it seems to me a very bitter irony- in our age of false democracy, in the 21 century of progress where COMPASSIONATE HUMAN is proclaimed the highest value, where globalized Euro Union yells about human rights and oil, where mass media and information becomes weapons of the most deadly sort, those world wide systems such as internet are absolutley not fit for any kind of moral control. Modern humans don't belive in moral. They belive in pleasure. And they won't be controlled. It's impossible. Free Speech is a subtly created myth. Censorship is no solution. We have no choice but to try be as human as we might in this sick, selfish times.[ July 14, 2006: Message edited by: Desperate Elf ]

I've read a little bit about the Arp theory: The Big Bang Never Happened, copyright 1991, by Eric J. Lerner; and it is an interesting theory. What I find most interesting is the rabid reaction from the big bang supporters.
When I was reading the book, my mind went back to the big bang and I thought that maybe this plasma pinching is a viable explanation of how the proto-galaxies formed. After all, wasn't the big bang a plasma flow, for a period, when only protons and electrons existed?
Plasma pinching would easily account for the large-scale structure of the universe, which came from such a homogenous beginning. All the velocity of the plasma was outward away from the cosmic kernel, which would be fairly parallel and susceptible to the plasma effects.
I don't know if I can believe that plasma physics still plays a role in today's universe but I can surely envision it in the proto-universe times.
Is compromise possible?

ELVIS PRESLEY T Shirts
The History of Elvis Presley
There is no greater star in Rock and Roll history than the legendary Elvis Presley. Born in the little town of Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis rose to superstardom in the 1950s as one of the originators of rockabilly, an up-tempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country and rhythm and blues. Releasing one chart-topping song after the next, Elvis Presley eventually earned the title the King of Rock and Roll, or just, The King. Songs like Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Cruel and Love Me Tender are some of the most popular songs of the 20th Century. Elvis Presley had an on-stage presence like no other—women loved him and men wanted to be like him. Today, more than 40 years since his death, his Graceland home in Tennessee still attracts nearly a million visitors a year.
Our colorful vintage Elvis Presley Tee Shirts are must-haves for fans of The King. Is Elvis still alive? Maybe not. But he lives on in our awesome Tees!

Adventure Time Plush
- Straight from the show Adventure Time
- Jake the dog and Finn the human
- 10" plush to take on your adventures
- Read more...
Adventure Time is a little hard to explain to people who haven't seen it yet. You could be like, "Well, it's the adventures of a boy and his dog," but that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. "A boy and his dog" describes things like Old Yeller, Lassie, and Family Guy, all of which are drastically different and not at all like Adventure Time. Besides, none of those dogs play the viola (which our copywriter monkey has to say is the best instrument ever).
If you're a fan of the adventures of Finn, Jake, and friends, you'll want to pick up these plush toys. Take them on your adventures, snuggle with them while you watch TV, or have Jake critique your performance while you're practicing your viola. And really, you should be practicing your viola. That sonata isn't going to play itself.
Product Specifications
- For Ages 6 Years and Up
- WARNING: Choking hazard. Small parts. Not intended for children under 3 years of age
- 10" plush from the show Adventure Time
- Go on your own adventures with them or snuggle them while you watch TV
- Choose: Finn or Jake

Shawnee is a great place to live. In fact, the city was named as the no. 17 best place to live in the United States on CNN Money's 2010 list. Shawnee boasts an unrivaled sense of community with friendly local residents who are open and welcoming to newcomers. Nestled in the southwestern suburbs of Kansas City, Shawnee has always stood on its own with a plethora of local opportunities. The city lives under the slogan "Shawnee, Kansas… Good Starts Here," which shows how much people here believe in the community. Look for Shawnee apartments for rent, and join more than 63,000 residents who enjoy a high quality of life in the Midwest.
Living in Shawnee, KS
Shawnee's history dates back to the prehistoric era when the Shawnee Indians used the location as the political and religious center of the tribe. With a location on the Ft. Leavenworth/Ft. Scott military road, Shawnee was tied to the government-organized transportation routes that connected settlements in the Civil War era. In the mid-1800s, branches of the Oregon, California and Santa Fe Trails forged through the area, leading to increased trade and accessibility with other parts of the country. After the war, Shawnee became a very important agricultural service town, known as one of the leading fruit and vegetable producers in the Midwest. Local farmers supported the town through the Great Depression and allowed Shawnee residents to have a more favorable fare than many other parts of the country.
In the second half of the 20th century, Shawnee emerged as a rapidly growing city with an ethnic population and stimulating community involvement. Although Shawnee is a suburb of Kansas City, many people identify Monrovia and Zarah as suburbs of Shawnee. Residents fuel the local landscape with a larger range of activities and opportunities than most suburbs, allowing Shawnee to become a self-contained community and keeping Shawnee apartments in high demand.
Shawnee Work and Study
The Central Baptist Theological Seminary may be the only school in town, but there are a number of traditional college opportunities located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. MidAmerica Nazarene University, Johnson County Community College and the Art Institutes International Kansas City join Avila University, the University of Missouri at Kansas City and Rockhurst University downtown in offering students a well-rounded college experience.
For those seeking work, Shawnee is home to a number of lucrative business industries. Professional and business services, retail, manufacturing and healthcare and social services are the dominant sectors in the area, joined by education, F.I.R.E, construction and natural resources, information and transportation and warehousing to make up most of the Shawnee workforce. The Shawnee Mission Medical Center is one of the largest employers in town with approximately 2,800 people working in medical, administrative and other support positions. Quest Diagnostics, Ivy Investment Management Company and the JCPenney Distribution Center are other top employers here, each providing jobs for more than 1,200 local residents.
Rentals in Shawnee, KS and Cost of Living
With all of the perks of the Midwestern lifestyle, residents in Shawnee pay very reasonable rent prices. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, the standard apartment in Shawnee costs $770 a month. That's $100 less than the national average. Everyday living expenses are also very affordable in Shawnee. The city received a cost of living index of 88.1, which is well below the United States average of 100.
Shawnee Attractions and Special Events
Shawnee has many must-see attractions. The 1950s All-Electric House at the Johnson County Museum of History offers an eye-opening look at the technology of the era, with "futuristic" features like electric curtain openers, trendy appliances, moon glow lighting and hidden televisions. Visitors can take a guided tour and understand why a home in the suburbs was part of the American dream in the 1950s. Residents can also get a taste of the past on the Historical Walking Tour, which showcases 18 points of interest around Shawnee for historians and trail enthusiasts.
Shawnee is home to the annual Scarecrow Festival, where kids can paint pumpkins and build scarecrows, and local businesses can participate in the Scarecrow Contest. The festival also features a farmers market and a baking contest with pumpkin pie, fruit pie and pumpkin bread categories. The Shawnee Great Grillers Blues and Barbeque State Championship also takes place annually in town, featuring the best of Midwestern barbeque. More than 100 teams compete for cash prizes and bragging rights in many different barbeque categories including a "People's Choice" that is voted on by public judges. Other local favorite events include Oktoberfest, the John Glaser Memorial 5K and Holiday Treasures Craft Festival.

'Mr. Grabowski Wants To Go To Washington'
GOP candidate and everyman Rich Grabowski says God is leading the way in his campaign to become Illinois's 3rd District congressman.
Richard L. Grabowski wants to be your next congressman representing Illinois's 3rd Congressional District.
Known as Rich to his family, friends and supporters, Grabowski has been crisscrossing Illinois's 3rd District that spans Chicago's Southwest Side neighborhoods in the heart of Mike Madigan-country, west to Lemont, LaGrange and Western Springs, to the southern stretches of New Lenox, Homer Glen and Romeoville.
Handily winning a three-person Republican primary—one of the candidates was a neo-Nazi who didn't believe the Holocaust happened—Grabowski is confident he will beat the Democrat heir-apparent Dan Lipinski.
Grabowski calls himself and Lipinski, both Polish Americans, "two skis in a downhill ski race" against powerful Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, who controls Chicago's Southwest Side and southwest suburbs, if not the whole state.
Subscribe to the Oak Lawn Patch newsletter and breaking news alerts.
"There are a great many reasons why I should be optimistic this year," Grabowski said. "There is much dissent within the Chicago machine. The anti-Madigan movement is really reaching down to police, firemen, city workers and teachers. The information I'm getting from the underground is that nobody wants to do what Madigan wants to do this year, like voting for Lipinski."
A materials supervisor for a west suburban manufacturing company that makes pneumatic valves for industrial equipment and hospital beds, Grabowski lives in a duplex with his wife and four teenage sons in Hometown, a 1950s planned community that offered affordable housing for veterans returning home from the Korean War.
Grabowski is representative of everyday Americans, frustrated and bewildered by the government, angry about the economy and wondering when the hell all the middle class jobs are going to come back.
"People are looking for someone who isn't connected," he says. "Someone who is honest, someone who is just like them, and someone 'who is one of us.'"
Grabowski describes himself as a Constitutional Conservative, who aligns himself with the Republican Party and is a favorite among Tea Party groups. Originally, he supported conservative Republican Rick Santorum, but is now backing Mitt Romney for president.
"I hold on to and respect the Constitution as our form of law," Grabowski said, "I don't trample on our Constitution. I wish our other leaders would do that."
He opens or closes his campaign speeches with his favorite line – "I'm David running against Goliath. I need to borrow your slingshot on Election Day. Do you have the stones to help make it happen?"
"I got tired of the way the Democrats are running our state and our federal government," Grabowski said. "They have chosen to run us into the ground. I'm running for the future of my children's country to help fix the problems in the country that this generation has created."
Follow Oak Lawn Patch on Facebook.
Dan Lipinski, who was elected to his father Bill's seat after he retired in 2004, ignored Grabowski's invitation for a forum where both candidates could debate the issues, the GOP challenger claims.
In his eight years of public service, Congressman Lipinski has been one of the most accessible members of Congress. Whether it has been at Town Hall Meetings, Senior Fairs, Veterans Fairs, or Job Fairs, Lipinski has continuously made himself available to his constituents.
Lipinski's office issued a statement that no organization asked the congressman to take part in a debate.
"During every primary and general election campaign, Congressman Lipinski has appeared at numerous candidate forums and debates. He has also made appearances at various service organizations, churches, community events and other venues. In this election cycle, he has appeared at candidate forums ... If an invitation had been put forward, Congressman Lipinski would have made every effort to participate and talk about his strong record of accomplishments as an independent leader for the Third District."
The moderate Democrat is favored to easily win the 3rd District congressional race, but Grabowski isn't about to give up now. No one expected him to win the Republican primary either against the other serious, well-funded contender, neo-Nazi aside.
He's managed to raise about $12,000 from meet-the-candidate coffees and Monday Night Football fundraisers at local bars watching his beloved Chicago Bears.
"I've raised $12,000 versus [Lipinski's] $7 million, which includes over $700,000 in union pac money and lobbyist money. "I'm scraping by but God is leading the way on this one. He changed Harod's heart and he'll change hearts of the voters in this election if that's his will."
(OpenSecrets.org reports Lipinski's campaign 2011-2012 war chest more in the $1.6 million range, with approximately $440,000 spent.)
Grabowski has received no help in his race from the Republican National Committee. Part of the reason why is that the RNC wants candidates to step up to the plate and so some heavy fundraising full time, he said.
Most of the campaign money he's raised has gone to his eye-catching blue and orange signs in the Chicago Bears' colors. They're the same style of sign he used in 2010 when he was running for the Illinois State House. Grabowski is a two-time loser, collateral damage in a contentious school board race.
"I ran as an independent [in the school board race] who didn't run with any slate and kept my nose clean," Grabowski explained.
In the days winding down to Tuesday's election, Grabowski is racing around the district replacing or repairing the signs that got stolen or damaged by "Lipinski's sign crew's political yard sign jihad."
Earlier last week, he found 50 of his yard signs laying flat on the ground with Lipinski signs speared into them.
"Dan apparently doesn't like my signs by his dad's Metra stations either," Grabowski wrote on his Facebook page Saturday night. "Lots of my signs are gone entirely with his left in their place on many corners. Other Republican candidates signs in Will County have been trashed by the same crews. Don't tolerate it!!!"
There have been nights during his campaign when Grabowski has only managed 15 minutes of sleep before rising at 4:45 a.m. to make his 6:30 a.m. work start. Operating on a barely functional amount of sleep at work, he's managed not to cut his hand off at the manufacturing plant. He's in it to win.
"It's a part time race," Grabowski said. "I work a day job. I'm a deacon at church and I have a family. Still I get my campaign done, which so far I've been pretty successful."
This story has been updated.
7:09 am on Monday, November 5, 2012
I voted for you. You are a real honest person that needs to replace Lipinski. I have dealt with Lipinski many a time, I needed help with different things , and I was always turned down by Lipinski. But for a donation, Lipinski would have helped me out. That is not right to take money as a congressman, you are here to represent citizens of your district and not take any bribes.I urge people to vote for Rich Grabowski for Congress.
Christ's Soldier
8:40 am on Monday, November 5, 2012
I don't think God pushes any candidate. The use of God in this context is disgusting.
1:05 pm on Monday, November 5, 2012
You're absolutely right, Soldier. God stayed neutral in that "David and Goliath" thing. God had nothing to do with David becoming the King of Israel, right? And that Moses. There OBVIOUSLY was no divine intervention there. That reed basket that was found by the Egyptian Queen was just coincidence. There was no intervention by God to make him the leader of Israel. Those seven plagues that "let the people go"? Pure chance.
If you don't believe God gets involved in politics, read the Old Testament sometime, soldier. If you don't believe that God inspires us to take on challenges, even against overwhelming odds, you clearly aren't as much of "Christ's Soldier" as you claim!

Those examples are not about politics. I've read the old and new testament and don't believe that God takes sides in political races. Did I miss something or did David run against Goliath for congressman?

I think any reader that accuses anyone of asking for a bribe or slanders anyone, needs to back up their accusaition and reveal their name for the authorities. If the fact is true then enforcement officials have someone to go to for follow up. If the accusiations are just BS like I think this one is (political) than you need to remove it.
Just a thought.

Does this man have any experience in an elected office? What experience does he have in politics or law? He's failed at being elected an alderman in Hometown, the Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 School Board, and Illinois state legislature. He's not a lawyer, nor does have any political science or law degrees. His resume is long but not impressive (http://richardgrabowski.com/bio) doesn't seem like he's held a job too long. Is this the kind of man you want representing you? A man with absolutely no experience?

Mike Madigan has tremendous experience, yet he is responsible for most of the fiscal disaster that has made Illinois the worst fiscally managed state in America.

Lipinski will win because he votes as a conservative democrat/republican. If you read his literature you think he is supporting Romney for President!! He knows his district and brags about going against Obama's agenda. He is a smart politician. Too bad he is another Chicago Machine Democrat though.
1:10 pm on Monday, November 5, 2012
James. he really doesn't vote that conservative...he just campaigns like he is. When he had a chance to vote to repeal Obamacare, he supported it because they needed his vote. He does as he's told and rakes in the bribes....errrrr....campaign contributions!

Lipinski does a really good job. Believe he'll get re-elected easily. I have referred numerous people to his office and they have all be helped.

He chose to live in Tennessee. The only reason he came back to the third district was because daddy retired. I didn't know we had a monarchy line of succession in Il.

This guy is truly pathetic. He runs for ANY and EVERY open political spot on the southside, in his district. Wow he must really need to have his ego stroked with politics.
11:26 pm on Monday, November 5, 2012
If you think that going through the aggravation of fund raising, the problems running brings to your family, and the abuse you take for going against incumbent sleazeballs is an "ego stroke", you obviously have NO idea what it takes to stand up to corrupt pols against incredible odds and really ignorant contituents. He has the guts to back up his beliefs by sacrifice and action. You just sit on your arse and snipe. That makes him one heckuva lot better citizen than you!
2:57 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
I know EXACTLY the price a campaign costs....the cost to your family, the financial cost, the emotional cost.....ALL of it.....PERSONALLY! I also know this guy has run for any and every open political spot in the past few years. Pick a position...pick a battle ground. You can't just throw crap at a wall and see what sticks. And please all politicians have huge egos.

I purchased two of these rugs, the chocolate brown and the slate - the rugs are good quality and quite plush but the inaccuracy of the color means they do not match my decor! The "chocolate" rug is more of an eggplant color, and the "slate" rug is more of a light green. Note, GREEN, not BLUE undertones, unlike in the picture, stand out in the main color of the slate rug. This may look nice in another home, but won't work well in mine.
When I received the rug and we put it on the floor, we were SO pleased. It became a focal point of the room and brought the room together. Everyone that comes to our house comments on the rug and how much they love it. Shipping was a little more than expected, but it was a large rug. Overall, very happy with purchase.
After searching and debating for some time, I decided to purchase this rug for my newly remodeled bedroom. I am very happy I did!! This rug is very plush and even prettier in person. It does shed a bit at first, but that is to be expected. The only thing I would caution someone about is the fact that the blue is in fact more of a teal (which I didn't mind at all). All in all a great buy!!!!!
This rug looks gorgeous online! While it is pretty in person, it really is a yellow (not ivory) tone. Almost looks like an animal urinated all over a white rug.
We purchased this rug for our family room. The room is painted a chocolate brown and has light blue accents. The rug looked so beautiful we purchased a smaller one for the sitting area in our kitchen!
This is a beautiful rug. I chose the charcoal color. It added so much color to my dining room.
This rug is absolutely stunning! First purchase for a new home and cant wait to move in the furniture. Only disappointed that I couldn't get the 6X9 matching rug because it is out of stock for the dining room. I hope it returns because I would purchase it in a heartbeat!!! Bought the brown rug and it truely exceeded my expectations.
The rug is very nice. It looks plush and thick, but not shaggy. I got the beige option, which has ivory flowers with a splash of a pretty olive green. I didn't realize it had green in it, but I like green, so it was OK. It's neutral but not boring, and adds to the room without drawing attention to itself. The pattern is graceful and elegant. I was nervous buying online, but I'm very happy with it.
I ordered the "Ivory" Colored rug for my bedroom. I was a tiny bit worried about the color due to some of the reviews but the Ivory rug was EXACTLY what I was expecting. The base is a nice creamy ivory color and the flowers are a nice black and gray. I would totally get another one of these rugs again.
Bought this rug for our beach house. When we put it down, there was no shedding. It settled down nicely, and looked great after vacuuming. Will see how it holds up, but so far, so good.

And I've seen him fail much more often in all situations. I think Ramdin still loses. His Test average agrees with me.
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend." |

Rampaul should train with Nash. Has obvious batting ability, and like Nash, shows most of his three stumps to the bowler. Maybe he do with the bat what he's not fit to do with the ball.

When Bravo and Shiv were batting, they were still a good 100 or so runs behind. Given Ramdin's poor form with the bat, and the long tail, if Shiv and Bravo had swung their bats, and got out irresponsibly, the Saffers could press the advantage. Remember, this was before the rain washed out a good hour and a half's play.... As we saw in England's tour of the Caribbean last year, even on dead batting tracks, the WI could collapse, and leave it to the tailenders to hang on for the draw. |

I've stated that I'm not a Dowlin fan, but felt he deserved this series, based on his stats in Test cricket. He's had his run, and failed. But with Barath injured, there really wasn't much alternative to him as opener. Smith and Richards have not succeeded in the longer format of the game. As for Samuels, his stats in test cricket aren't particularly great. He's been inconsistent with the bat, much like Bravo.... |

Harris is bowling way outside the legstump of the right hander (Bravo), who's batting has been inconsistent, and being in a losing team, is wary of taking an unnecessary risk, losing his wicket, and getting his team in trouble again. The pacer is bowling quite a bit outside offstump as well.... If this was a WI team that was at least winning some of their recent matches, then they'd feel confident having a go. But they just want to get thru a match without losing, and that sentiment is understandable, in a way. That, and Smith's negative bowling plan, made risk-free runs hard to get. |

Hi Ann:
Interesting study. Our research and measuring has been more on what motivates (or de-motivates) people to be activly engaged while at work. Many people show up, but then don't contribute and end up a waste of oxygen. So, if I were going to do that study, I would ask about $$, fear of discipline, workload, deadlines, socialization, peer pressure, company loyalty, customer loyalty, enjoy work, not ready to make job change, what is expected, influence on others (if I take off, others may do the same). I also think that I would ask some overall questions about their perception of the organization for which they work to determine the respondants attitude about the leadership and culture. This will show a correlation between the responses of why they go to work, what the value that they place on the organization. I hope this is helpful Rebecca Rebecca Lacy Pinnacle Management Group 602.850.4260 www.pmginternational.net firstname.lastname@example.com |

BEVERLY HILLS - An extremely shallow magnitude-3.5 earthquake centered in Beverly Hills struck just after midnight today, jolting people over a wide area of the Southland, but no damage or injuries were reported.
The temblor -- the second this week whose epicenter was in Beverly Hills -- struck at 12:03 a.m. at a depth of zero kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
"We felt a pretty good jolt here," said Beverly Hills police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino, adding that the department received no immediate reports of injuries or damages.
The quake was felt over a wide swath of the Greater Los Angeles area, with callers reporting being jolted as close to the epicenter as Santa Monica and L.A.'s Westside and as far away as downtown L.A., Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. Apparently as a result of the quake's shallowness, callers described experiencing considerably sharper shaking than is normally associated with a 3.5 temblor.
The quake sent the Los Angeles Fire Department into Earthquake Emergency Mode, with firefighters from the department's
The objective was to identify "any significant damage to critical infrastructure, including transportation, utilities, hospitals, schools" and large gathering places in the Fire Department's 470-square mile jurisdiction, he said. The Earthquake Emergency Mode status was called off at 12:46 a.m. after no signs of injuries or damages surfaced.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department also received no reports of injuries or damage, a county fire dispatcher said. The county, the nation's most populous, covers an area of more than 4,000 square miles and is inhabited by some 10 million people.
Today's earthquake was the second to strike Beverly Hills in five days. A magnitude-3.2 earthquake struck just before 3:27 a.m. Monday, but seismologists did not immediately say if the two shakers were related.

My son wanted to buy me some perfume so we went to the store and tried to many, from the most expensive to the least expensive and no matter how expensive the others were they didn't compare to Purple Love Intention, it's smells wonderful!! The best thing is that the price was just as great and that totally convinced me that this is the one I wanted. The only con about it is that the scent doesn't last too long. I smell it when I spray it on my forearm but after a little while the smell is so subtle I can hardly smell it.
