Yes. Banning is banning. And, "coaching" that totally disallows the use of a word or phrase would be the same as "banning." There has not been any evidence to indicate that, in this case, "coaching" meant "banning."
And, I stand in disagreement with your sentiment re. Dave's response from Olathe. Here is Oliver's opening statement, Social justice, the term, has been officially banned from all literature and communications from the US/Canada Regional Office. At least, that was the directive given by the Regional Director under whom I served. That is either true, or it isn't. If "banned" means the same as "coaching" we need a new dictionary.

The Abbey grounds are a safe and inviting place for younger aged children.
We offer three programmes geared specifically to the KS1 age group and some of our KS2 activities can also be adapted for younger classes.
Encourage your class to develop their awareness of the world around them. Brother Bear's scrap book gives clues for each child to find for a trail through the grounds of the Abbey, using the fish pond, the duck pond and the wildlife walk, as well as the orchard and herb garden as stopping off points looking for clues about the time of year. Each child collects something to take back to school to show where they went. We can provide collecting equipment and simple plant and mini beast keys to classify finds.
Groups of up to 15 children work on the trail with a leader, looking for leaves and plants, minibeasts and signs of larger animals and birds.
Ourselves and Our World Key Stage 1 topic: this is a topic explaining that the town grew up around the Abbey. This also meets some of the RE requirements about looking at special places where people come to worship. Our Living History actors meet the children in role and talk about the life and times of the Abbey in the Abbot's kitchen, and our museum provides a first hand look at the things that have survived across the years.
Whole class groups can be accommodated, and there are linked activities such as dressing in the habit of a monk and taking a (short) vow of silence!
If your class is studying the Saxons, the Abbey is a good place to bring your class. Our Living History team can dress as Saxons and talk about the lifestyle of that period. Our tour can show the legendary burial places of King Arthur and his queen in the Abbey ruins. Ask for a storytelling session so that we can bring the tales of the past to life for the current generation.

Delegate Working on Emergency Spice Ban Bill
By: Dawn White
Updated: December 10, 2012
FREDERICK, MD - Delegate Galen Clagett is working on two emergency bills to ban spice in the Frederick County and in Maryland.
He's drafting the bills now and hopes to present them to the Frederick County Delegation within the next few weeks.
"It's a health hazard. It's very addictive. It's very dangerous, and any dangerous and controlled substance needs to be controlled, if not banned," says Clagett (D).
Thurmont and Frederick City recently banned spice, and Clagett says synthetic marijuana is now being sold in other parts of the county.
"It's obvious that these things are starting to open in the county, and when the city banned them and pushed them out of the city, they looked to Urbana and south on 85," says Clagett. "I think there's a location there."
If the bills pass, they'd become law as soon as Governor Martin O'Malley signs them.
"It was obvious to me that they were going to go wherever they could do to sell this product, and that means we need to stop it here and now in this county, and I think we should do the same for the whole state as well."
Senator Ron Young (D) will sponsor the bill on the senate side.
Walkersville will hold a meeting this Wednesday to consider banning spice.

Co-GM here, just making a post in case some of you don't know or just barely skim over rules like I normally do.
The old school bus seems loaded with unfamiliar faces as it drives up a dirt road in the middle of the Rocky Mountains of Idaho. The suspension jounces over a washed out pothole, causing the chassis to creak and rattle out of indignation at this abuse it was suffering, many of the other faces seem to share the discomfort with the bus as a sympathetic reaction or simply because they were uncomfortable with the situation. Perhaps the only familiar face was seated at the front of the bus, Mr. Korneff, though perhaps "familiar" is not the best term to describe the mid sixties man with warm smile, though his teeth were mildly stained from his life long vice of coffee. You've met him a few times, all in the preparation for this trial run of Idaho's "New Take on Foster Care."
Looking out the window, the world is green and brown from the dense, second growth forest that loomed over the road, like hundred and thirty foot sheer canyon walls. The sky is clear though, a cheerful shade of blue on this Tuesday, of August 24th, 2012. A few tufts of pale fluff hover in the atmosphere, but otherwise, the sky is clear. From an open window ahead of you, the warm air is circulating in the bus, it perhaps struck you a while ago, just how different the smell of the air is here. Having been in the cities for so long, the clean, pure mountain makes you realize just how badly scented all of those commercial products touting themselves as "fresh scented" really are. You can hear birds chirping and singing in the trees, in the breaks of the trees, you've seen squirrels, chipmunks, and deer.
Since the gate near the start of this road, or driveway, there hasn't been a sign of the man beside the road itself, until ahead, the canyon walls of the forest peel back a little to reveal the lodge that was on the front of the info sheet that Mr. Korneff had provided you. Weathered stones that were shaped and fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle rose up from the driveway, creating a large terrace with stairs leading to its level. Around the terrace, the rock walls thrust up like square pyramids that were lopped off at half height at regular intervals, square timbers fitted between the posts of stone to make a sturdy railing. Behind this all, rose the bulk of warmly weathered wood that looked as though it had been here since the dawn of time. Squared timber framing with massive frames leading up to support the peaked roof that stood well above the ground. The facade of the entrance was a great door built with three planks of timber held vertically by the wrought iron hinges that spanned the four foot width. Flanking the door, stood two multi-framed windows, reaching to the height of the door and nine feet. Beyond the entrance, the building sprawls, the southern half on the right seeming to sink into the rock outcropping, while to the North on the left, the ground gives way to more puzzle-work of stone, through the trees to the left, a clearing can be seen, a brilliant space of green grass, shining in the sun.
As the bus pulled up to the front of the building, Mr. Korneff stands turning to bend one knee to the seat he was in, and smiles. He's wearing the typical neutral grey suit he always has whenever you've seen him, although today he chose not to include the tie which has typically been a suitably neutral colour as well. His voice is deep, rich, and inviting, "Welcome to Eagle Mountain, make sure you have everything with you when you get off the bus."
Welcome to the OOC thread for the Eagle Mountain Boarding Lodge RP. Here, you will find the rules, the information for the character sheet, and information about the lodge, and the grounds of the lodge itself. Please wipe your feet at the door, but keep your head's messy; a messy mind breeds new ideas.
Now, to go over a few things if I didn't make it clear in the interest check or if you skipped it entirely: I am looking for a strong thread of "realism" to be running through this. I tried to make the premise seem logical and realistic. I want to convey the notion that these characters are like people in this world. If it happened in our past, it's happened in the character's past.
Please read the rules. I know many people skim over the rules, think they won't apply to them, or that they will never have an issue with them. Just please, read the rules.
Character sheets in this thread please.
Yes, this OOC is still under construction. I will be adding to it tonight, and probably tomorrow.
Please. Put down the pitchforks!

I'll try to have my CS up soon, but heaven knows I'm slow with those things. = w =
I love you to the point where it hurts to disappoint you...
Every time I see you I realize nothing is really wrong.
You ignored my clumsiness and my lack of self-esteem.
No one else ignores my imperfections...
And then loved me anyways.
My CS is complete, straight out of The Sims 3!
Yes, Jenna Fallhills is my character in TS3... Slapped her into Moonlight Falls with Clumsy and Unlucky as two of her traits...

I know I'm none too vocal, but my character sheet is finished. If someone wants to claim a spot as his childhood friend (the little girl his age) when he was eight until eleven, it's open.
Although I put up a CS, I won't be playing right off the bat until I can get a feel for the RP in general. Talked to my good buddy Goldmarble about it and I want to see how people are playing before I decide if it's for me or not.
Starting February and lasting a few months I'll be doing camp guard, so I'll be on and off sporadically. Fair warning.
As another shameless plug, here's my newest Advanced RP: Operation Golden Thread, a futuristic military RP.
Sometimes I decide what gender I play in an RP according to existing character sheets. Curiously 9/10 times when I use that method I end up making a female CS. Someone explain.
I might just do this. Although, I would need to consult you about past interactions and character traits before I can decide-if you're okay with it, that is.

Teens Say Social Media Has Made Them More Aware of the Needs of Others
Two out of Three Say Adults Not Doing Enough to Set Positive Example
200,000 Teens Give up Food, Go Mobile - World Vision's 30 Hour Famine February 22-23
30 Hour Famine Funds Now Designated Here in U.S.
SEATTLE, Feb. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a new World Vision study, conducted online earlier this month by Harris Interactive on behalf of World Vision, more than half of teens (56%) say social media sites (Facebook, Twitter) have made them more aware of the needs of others. This is a huge increase from 2011, when just over 4 in 10 (44%) said their use of social media made them more aware.
According to the online study, more than 2 in 3 teens (68%) say that, when it comes to helping those in need, adults don't do enough to set a positive example for teens. From now until April, some 200,000 teens will go hungry as part of World Vision's 30 Hour Famine (30HF) to raise funds and hunger awareness. 30HF has more than 31,000 Facebook friends. Since 1992, 30HF has raised more than $150 million to fight world hunger. This is the first time 30HF funds are being designated to fight hunger here in the United States. According to the survey, most teens feel it is primarily the responsibility of churches or other religious organizations (76%) to help address hunger in the local community, with as many as 2 in 3 teens (66%) also indicating that the responsibility lies with them.
The weekend, World Vision will give control of the 30HF website to teens across America so they can use social media to fight world hunger. While many will do 30HF in February, others participate April 26th, 27th. Teens go without food for 30 hours to get a taste of what the world's poorest children face. Prior to the event, teens raise funds by explaining that $1 can help feed and care for a child a day. Teens consume only water and juice as they participate in local community service projects at food banks and homeless shelters. Last year 30HF raised $9.8 million to fight hunger. This year's goal: $10.5 million.
Tonight, 870 million people worldwide will go to bed hungry. Nearly 19,000 children die each day from hunger and preventable diseases. Chronic poverty, affecting half the people on earth, is the cause. Nearly 3 billion people live on less than $2 a day. Funds raised this year for 30HF will be sent to 10 countries including Haiti, Burundi and the U.S. Some 30HF funds also address poverty here in the U.S. Info: 30hourfamine.org or facebook.com/wv30HF or call 800-7-FAMINE.

Trinity Church – 150 youth expected. Goal: $30,000. Trinity has raised more than $66,000 for campaign.
Norwalk, Conn.
St. Philip Catholic Church – Over last ten years, close to 1,000 students have raised over $175,000
Dallas, Texas
Church plans "Hunger Car Smash" and Dodge ball tournament. Goal: $5,000

Post #34, Eddie You Make Sense and My CR Opinion |
Sunday, 10 June 2012 20:44 |
I agree with a lot of what post 34 states about CR and our striker options. I am not as bullish on Nelson O as the post but he presents our best option and I hope I am wrong. Nelson has shown poor final balls and I can't attribute all of that to being young.
First, CR as stated is a wing player and not a striker, in my opinion he is a winger with striker type attributes (finisher/goal poacher). My opinion against is that CR has evolved into a very one dimensional l type player who depends on physical power over finesse. This is not a knock but an analysis which means that CR has trouble (I am not the first to state this) with physical, strong, and fast defenders when playing better competition. I am not surprised by Boateng's performance against CR yesterday.
CR does not play well for the NT because he does not have the players around him to allow his one-dimensional play to explode. CR over the years has evolved into a poor passer, bad decision making, and does not link up toO well with the NT team. He is not a creative where he can score on his own like a Messi taking on 2-3 defenders and dribbling by them. Please find a You Tube video with CR scoring a goal where he faked out three defenders. Given CR's great attributes but limited he simply is not able with this current average cast of players around him to perform better. Not blaming him as he is a product of what he does well but does not bring great benefit to the national team. He has about 30 goals in close to 90 games and how often has he scored against good competition.
There is not real short term solution but play Nelson O with and the inconsistent Nani on the other side. There are limitations in midfield until we can find a Deco and Rui Costa type player. This team with the current attributes of the players will struggle with no clear #10. Even our strikers will look better if they have a #10 behind them.
Anyway, I am sure many are upset with the CR comments which is not a put down but a objective analysis and many other soccer experts feel the same way -- this is nothing new.
Anyway despite all of these concerns, we CAN STILL QUALIFY!

Successful marketers don't talk about features or even benefits. Instead, they tell a story. A story we want to believe.
This is a book about doing what consumers demand; painting vivid pictures that they choose to believe. Every organization, from nonprofits to car companies, from political campaigns to wineglass blowers, must understand that the rules have changed (again). In an economy where the richest have an infinite number of choices (and no time to make them), every organization is a marketer and all marketing is about telling stories.
Marketers succeed when they tell us a story that fits our worldview, a story that we intuitively embrace and then share with our friends. Think of the Dyson vacuum cleaner or the iPod.
But beware: If your stories are inauthentic, you cross the line from fib to fraud. Marketers fail when they are selfish and scurrilous, when they abuse the tools of their trade and make the world worse. That's a lesson learned the hard way by telemarketers and Marlboro.
This is a powerful book for anyone who wants to create things people truly want as opposed to commodities that people merely need.
©2005 Seth Godin; (P)2005 Audible, Inc.
"Must Read"
We own the oldest advertising firm in our market. This book is so good that we are thinking about giving it as a gift to our clients at the end of the year.
"Just OK for me."
Interesting book. For me, it basically just emphasized the importance of story telling and how the story needs to be consistent to the company's product/service, vision, mission and core values.
"The essense of marketing has been defined."
This is a must be read before writing your next marketing plan or investing in any marketing activities. With this simple, practical wisdom you will gain greater results.
Seth has presented a clear, coherent definition of the core of what marketing is all about. All great marketing is based on the principle Seth explains with such clarity and simplicity: telling stories.
There is no preaching in this book. It is a story about marketing. All good stories comes from the heart. As Seth explains your story in all your marketing must be authentic. Hearing Seth tell his story about marketing you realise just how much he understands the importance of the subject to all marketers. When people express things with such authenticity it can easily be misread as preaching.
A good companion to fully understanding this very important basis of marketing in greater detail I would suggest you also listen to, "The 4 Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz also available here at Audible.
Another Audible book that touches on this subject, and is fiction, is "Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit" by Daniel Quinn
"dont be offended"
It seems some people were offended by the message of this program. Probably because the book exposes how a good story can make you really believe and commit to something whether the story is true or not. The book says that once we decide to believe a story that our brains will do anything to continue to believe it. The book goes on with examples of how and why stories have worked and spread. I have a feeling that the low scoring people were somehow offended due to their own personal beliefs that Seth must have commented on. I only give it a four because its not a complete marketing program. The message is excellent and very revealing.
"A must read"
I'm on the third listen of this, and I'd imagine I'll listen to it a few more times to internalize the depth of what he is saying. As a dyed in the wool conservative, Seth really does show his colors, but also gives credit where credit is due, for both parties. In fact, I found them very relevant and helpful in a modern context of how to "tell a story".
he goes through the early days, to the "golden age" of marketing, and the modern changes and power of marketing and "telling a story".
I'm ordering the rest of his books. It's changed my mindset about marketing. This audiobook spawned what I think are going to be very profitable ideas and approaches to marketing. Time will tell, but overall a great insight.
"Great Tips on Marketing Communications"
Seth offers some very useful insight into what works in marketing communications today and offers some good advice for getting customers to notice your product. It's all about experience and what they believe, not truth or facts or features and benefits. I've used his ideas successfully to structure some recent marketing campaigns.
"Rivetting Listen - highly thought provoking"
Only downside was hearing Seth "reading" his book - would have loved to hear him deliver it more impromptu. If you can forgive this - the creator of the "Purple Cow" brings a highly provocative and yet totally logical idea. Swap out "Liars" for "Storytellers", and you've got the story line. Have listened to it twice, will listen another couple of times at least and brainstorm further. Very stimulating.
"Grossed me out"
Don't LISTEN to this audiobook. If you are interested in what Seth has to say, READ the ACTUAL BOOK. Seth has a horrible reading voice. Every other sentence he pauses and you can hear the saliva swishing around in his mouth as he prepares for the next sentence. Every time this happens I stop comprehending what he's saying and focus on the disgusting noises he's making. I wish I could review this audiobook on the merits of the content, but unfortunately I was so distracted by Seth's terrible diction and smacking that I couldn't comprehend half of what was said. I still intend to read the book because people tell me it's good; I just hate that I wasted the money here first. I don't understand why Seth didn't pay a voice over professional to read his book... or at the very least pay to have it professionally produced and remove the nauseating noises he makes while reading.
"Excellent Marketing Primer"
Sound, fundamental marketing.
That the author recognizes that "stories" are important. And that you need to genuinely live your "lie".
It's a bit like a friend walking you through the process.
I would definitely listen to this one again!
"Adequate but only adequate"
Only for students.
The book is a bit basic. Would be helpful for students or beginners.
Entertaining though and great work by the narrator.

Rich MiddleIncome
9:32 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
You say that the "rich" are anyone making over 200K is that gross or net? Why don't you take the cost of living in the regional areas into account? Compare someone making that amount in a metroplitan area vs. Arkansas. That's why so many people I know have kept their jobs in the NY metro area and relocated their homes to Delaware, NC, anywhere the cost of living is lower.....
9:51 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
It's 250K and it's taxable income, which is after deductions, not gross. In addition it is only the taxable income ABOVE the $250K. Anything $250K or below would remain the same. Earning that much money puts you in the top 2% of all earners. Chances are if you were doing the same job in AR you would not be earning the same amount you are in the NY metropolitan area.
Nordrom Keni
10:03 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The sad irony is that most ordinary Americans making less than 250k pay lower taxes under Obama than they would under Romney. These middle class Americans hate Obama and accuse him of being a socialist when all he is doing is giving the middle class a break. The richest Americans and corporations can afford to pay a higher tax rate, and it doesn't discourage investment like so many believe. Romney would increase the tax rate on the middle class, that's a fact. And if you think trickle down economics works, I have a bridge I want to sell you. Obama has done many other good things as well, for example trying to penalize corporations which ship American jobs overseas. But Republicans killed that bill.
If people bothered to actually look into the things Obama has done or tried to do they might realize that he is done a pretty good job. But instead people are focused on calling him names and trying to convince people that he is a Muslim etc. So if you make less than 250k and want to pay higher taxes, go back to deregulating the banks, have the country get involved in more wars etc go ahead and vote for Romney. I thought America had enough of that crap in 2008. Guess America is getting nostalgic for the Bush era.

Why should corporations be penalized for outsourcing work? People can complain "Dey tuk er jobs" all day, but punishing companies for outsourcing is just going to result in more expensive labor, with the extra cost passed on to the consumer.
Although it's unpopular among both parties, almost 90% of economists agree that free trade is more good than bad for us.
And Obamacare throws the President's "no taxes on earners under $250k" promise out the window.

uhm ridgewood? because Americans need jobs? was this a trick question? Guess you were not in West Milford today when resident after resident complained about lack of jobs and business opportunities, and astronomical taxes to Governor Christie.
It always mystifies me when people suggest 'that sucking sound of jobs leaving the country' (Ross Perot) is a good one and that the reverse sound of the return of good paying jobs for Americans and the construction of store factories and infra structure is a bad thing because people might get better wages working conditions and benefits?
Does the phrase all boats rise register with you at all?

Are you seriously asking why Americans should have an interest in keeping jobs for Americans?
11:40 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
No, the sad irony is that most ordinary Americans buy a lot of crap that was made in China. People don't seem to get that if you stop buying the junk, and start buying and demanding American made goods (or, heck, at least North, Central or South American), then and only then will you stop the flood of slave-labor produced toxic Chinese junk into this country.

Mr Keni,
I think that you really need to do additional research. Trickle down means government taxing the very wealthy and hoping that this creates jobs for the middle class. It doesn't work, never has and never will.... once you kill the desire to succeed and the small, medium and large entrepreneurs in the world... we are really in a bad situation. Secondly I am not voting for Obama and it has nothing to do with his race or nationality. That is what all of you left wingers want to pin on us.... Patsy Ann Smith
10:54 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Very well said Nordrom! I 100% agree with what you said. It is sort of like a cow routing for Burger King---when the middle class, latino's, african americans, etc. vote republican! Remember--Obama is a Socialist Muslim who hates Christmas and wants to take away your guns! lol!
3:22 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Nordrom you are sadly mistaken. Take a study in history to fully understand what supply-siders like Romney believe. By lowering rates across the board, you increase the base (the amount of people paying taxes) so tax revenues to the govt. actually go up. Coupled with limits on deductions & closing loopholes (which will definitely hit upper income folks much more than middle) you also increase revenue. JFK did it, Reagan did it. It works there is no doubt about it and it's what this economy desperately needs.
Obamacare alone will level serious tax increases on the people who can afford them the least, not to mention we will become even more a HAVE/HAVE NOT society when it comes to health care. Ever hear of concierge physicians? People who have the money will pay for this service, their doctors will put them in a special category and give them priority. Meantime, everyone else will have to wait months to see a doctor. It's a big farce.
Lastly, do you realize there are now 23 milliion people unemployed -- AT LEAST. Unemployment among blacks AND women is 14%, 48 million people are on food stamps! WAKE UP! Do you truly believe 4 more years of the same is going to change this course? AND there is a new report out just last night about all the WASTE of taxpayer money that was the stimulus! It is going to amount to 6-700 million in wasted taxpayer funds by the time it's all said and done. Please, start opening your eyes before November 6th.

One more thing - I won't recommend FOX, but just TRY watching Larry Kudlow at 7pm on CNBC for one week. If you walk away not having learned one thing then I give up. He has top economists, top business people on, who only want to see this country get back on the right track again. If you are going to demonize everyone on Wall St, you are also making a big mistake. Sure there are some bad apples, but not all finance people are evil. Stop buying into that junk! The reason the economy tanked so bad is because of the Dodd/Frank bill that forced banks to give loans to potential homeowners who couldn't afford to pay their mortgages! It was a bubble that was bound to burst and fyi, Bush wasn't a saint by any means, but he DID try to reverse the course Fanny & Freddie were on - congress fought him that is a fact. If you want to believe your own history, than so be it.

Chu said in 2008 he wanted gasoline prices in America to get to the European level, which is $9 or $10 a gallon. Did Chu really say that? Yes, but he said it before he became energy secretary and before Obama won the 2008 presidential election. Shortly after becoming energy secretary, Chu said it would be "completely unwise to want to increase the price of gasoline."

That poll you refered to was only about the debate, not a poll on how voters intended to vote. If you check the polls that ask likely voters how they would vote Obama did not gain any points as a result of this debate.
In their first polls conducted partly after the second presidential debate, both Gallup and Rasmussen Reports show that Mitt Romney has extended his lead over President Obama among likely voters.
Sorry but you lost the bet. You can send my dollar to the Romney Ryan campaign, thank you.
Ridgewood Mom
7:01 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
Long Time Resident,
The bet was about whether or not Obama made out the better because of the second debate and whether or not we would see that in the polls by the end of the week. By whichever measure, that is precisely what we see.
Pick a poll. In half of them, Obama is currently in the lead. In the other half of them, Romney is listed as in the lead for the popular vote and behind in the electoral contest.
Let's take one of the polls that leans to the right- Rasmussen. In the days between the first and second debate, Romney was gaining increasing traction with gradual increases all the way up to being several percentage points ahead of Obama the day of the debate. Since, Rasmussen has shown a decrease in Romney's lead up to the point of them being tied 47%/47% just the other day. It now shows Obama to be one point behind Romney, but my point was spot on. Obama came out the better from the second debate and we can now see it in the subsequent polls leading up to the end of the week.
Long Time Resident
7:24 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
Sorry Ridgewood Mom but I disagree with your assessment. How about we call this bet a draw and bet on who wins the election instead. That way there will be no way the bet is subjective, debateable or subject to opinion. Care to make another bet your gonna regret?

"bought a car from them this year and while I love my car it wasnt worth all the stress and arguing!"
I want to thank Fred Haas Toyota for enabling me to purchase a 2006 Tundra on July 8th. Mike Jones and Stivens Castro found a financing structure that would work for me and the finacial institution. They have created a probable repeat customer for Fred Haas Toyota World. My overall experience with Fred Haas Toyota is positive.
WHAT CAN I SAY EXCEPT, " YOU ROCK " !!! You will never truly understand how much we appreciate the hard work you did to find a vehicle for our daughter. We know it was a small budget, but you still treated us with the utmost respect and made us feel like we were spending a ton. From the moment that I walked into the lot - you were there to make getting a car a success. The car we ended up with is just perfect! Dane was very surprisedd when we came home to make sure that she got a car she would like to brag about to her friends. You helped to make her first car a memorable one! She cried when she got home from work and saw her new car. We will definitely come back to get another car. THANK YOU!!
Dear Team at Fred Haas Toyota World, I owned my 1996 Corolla for 14 years before the engine finally gave out, forcing me to purchase a car sooner than I planned. I picked out a Camry on the Carmaz website, even had it transferred to the store nearest me, and had my loan pre-approved through Smart Finacial Credit Union. When I called the credit union to confirm my APR rate, the lady asked what vehicle I had chosen. I told her the year, mileage, and price and she strongly urged me to contact one of theyr Fleet Managers at a participating dealership for a better deal. She read a list of dealerships, and I chose Fred Haas because I'd been there before and was pleased with the service. She then read a list of about 6 Fleet Managers, and I Chose Kris becaise I liked the sound of his last name :) Chris referred me to Robert, and the rest is histroy. Everyone ( including the two other managers that halped me in finance, whose name I cannot recall) worked really hard to get my into a vehicle that I not only wanted, bnut one that would work with my budget. I was also approved for financing though Toyota at a lower APR than what the credit union provided, evem with a great credit scare. I've always been pleased with the service department ( especially that they wash my car when I bring it in for basic service ), and I can no add the Pre-Owned Sales Department to that list. Thank you very much for all ytou've done. I'm very happy!!!
Thank you for finding me that new car. Well not new, but new for me. :) I loved coming home and being surprised with it. Thank you for all your hard work. It's greatly appreciated!
I would like to inform you about customer service I received at Fred Haas Toyota world. I had to come back to Texas once to have my LOJACK system install & another time to replace a small part under the car near the rear tire that got broked somehow and was rubbing on my back tire. Your sales man Kris has handled my cases with care & concern. He did this by making me feel that my time was important and he organized my arrival/ repairs with the appropriate departments. He never showed disappointment or displeasure with my request of information about anything while on the phone or in person. I hope dealing with the Lake Charles Toyota Dealership will be the same.
Some persons might go to the head of a firm to complain of service, or for some other reason of dissatisfaction. However, this is not the case with Mr. Kris. I think when a person excels at their work they should be recognized for their performance at the highest level. My wife and I with the professional assistance of Mr. Curtis leased our first vehicle Sunday, July 18, 2010. Did we get a good deal price wise, probably not? However, we agreed tp a price. The important thing for us is that we were treated with respect, and with a general perception on Mr. Yoosefi's part, of a sincere attempt to service our needs. Mrs. Romeo has mobility issues and the soul purpose of our trading in a low mileage Lexus for a vehicle easier to enter. Kris listened to our criteria and found a highlander the right color and equipment even to a factory installed running board. He was accomodating; taking the time to answer my questions, resolving my concerns and especially those of my wife. Mr. Yoosefi made us feel special. He is an asset to your organization. You would do well to have him as a mentor to new sales associates.

Whats it all about then?
This is all about increasing awareness of historical wargaming and indulging in our inner history-geek.
Any period, any company, any scale... If its historical, then this is the right place.
This is the sign-up thread. During the month of June, everyone whos interested can post here with questions, suggestions, praise, threats... Well, okay... Id rather not have any threats, but apart from that everything goes.
Then, starting in July, well all paint approximately 10% of our chosen army. Seeing as the tale will run for 12 months, this will allow each participant two Joker months. After all, life is unpredictable and any of us might suddenly need to take a break. If so, dont sweat it just call a joker and get back to the painting next month.
For those playing a skirmish-level game, theres the option to do one or two mini-tales, each consisting of 6 months with 1 joker available.
Every month Ill create a new thread where we can post pictures of the completed work from the previous month as well as WIP pictures for the current month.
640x480 please! Or use thumbnails.
If you really, really want to show off a bigger picture, then put a link to it it means those using slower connections aren't waiting for big pictures to load.
If you want to use bigger pictures then please host it on an external site like photobucket and link to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q : What army/scale/period should I choose?
A : Thats entirely up to you. As long as its a historical wargame then youre welcome in this tale.
Q : How many points should I aim for?
A : Since well be painting models from different games and scales, this is mostly up to you. You should, however, hopefully end up with a normal sized army for your chosen game.
Q : How much do I have to paint?
A : You should paint approximately 10% of your army each month. For skirmish-level games, you should paint approximately 1/5 or 1/10 of the warband each month, depending on whether youre doing a mini-tale or a full tale, with a minimum of one model per month.
Dont worry if its not up to Golden Daemon standard. Few of us can paint to that level so dont let yourself get stuck trying to finish a single model. Well, if your monthly quota is a single model then, by all means, fell free to spend the full month painting just that. But for the rest of us, getting done on time is more important than delivering an award winning paintjob.
Q : Can I include historical background in my months post?
A : You not only can, youre highly encouraged to do so. This is, after all, a tale of historical wargammers, so the historical background is important.
Q : Can I drop out?
A : Well, well be sorry to see you go. But real-life has a way of intruding at the worst possible moments, so if you absolutely and necessarily need to leave then do so. There are, after all, more important things in life than toy soldiers.
Q : What do I do if my question isnt answered here?
A : You can either send me a PM or simply post it in this thread. Ill update this FAQ as we get all the kinks worked out.

Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Fort Laramie, Wyoming
Two hours' drive north-east of Cheyenne, at the junction of the Laramie River with the North Platte River, is Fort Laramie, founded in 1834 as a fur-trading post. The fort was taken over by the United States Army in 1849 in order to protect the Oregon Trail. Throughout the next 40 years Fort Laramie played a key role in the Indian Wars. From there troops could be sent out against the Indians, and there too treaties were signed with them. In the late 1880s the fort increasingly lost its military importance, and finally was abandoned. Some of the buildings are well preserved or have been restored, including the guardhouse, the cavalry barracks, the bakery and some officers' houses. On some summer weekends, particularly around July 4th, there are "living history" presentations.

I like everything about it, except one important feature: when the iPhone is placed in its enclosure, it's nearly impossible to remove without breaking fingernails. you need to use the phone on speaker or else it's very awkward speaking to someone holding up the entire wallet to your ear.
This iPhone wallet is a dream! It not only holds my phone but allows me to store cards and money as well. It's a "Grab and Go" for sure! LOVE IT!
This billfold is exactly what I wanted. I have had many compliments on it. Having my iPhone 5 in my billfold makes it one less thing to remember in the morning. The wallet has just the right support for the phone and keeps it safe when I drop it. It really works for me.

It's been a while since I appreciated otters. look at this adorable mofo.
This is not my usual post. But it's something I had to share. As you read this, imagine how your reaction would differ if this story were being told by a woman, talking about how her husband treated her.
I have been separated from my wife for over a year, though we continue to share a house. We live on separate floors. We share the house because we need to parent our son together, and because we can't afford to maintain two households.
I'd like to tell you a story, illustrating one reason why I am divorcing her. This is an example of the treatment I have received over the past fourteen years.
This evening, while she was drinking her wine, my estranged wife took exception to the fact that I wanted to talk about how tense she's been. She said she didn't want to talk about it.
I left the room (so as to comply with her request).
I went upstairs to use our tiny guest bathroom. She began to yell and throw things around the kitchen, then eventually charged up the stairs and into the bathroom, just as I was finishing and getting ready to leave. She confronted me there, holding her half-full wine glass in her hand. Her voice got louder, her gestures wilder.
She complained that I had upset her by wanting to talk when she had told me she didn't want to talk. As I began to feel uncomfortable, I said, "You're saying it's my fault you can't express your emotions responsibly like an adult?"
She said, "Yes!! It's because you want to go off and take a vacation with your girlfriend!" Then she threw the contents of her glass in my face and smashed it against my bare chest.
The results are pictured here.
I stood there, with shattered glass at my feet, glass shards sticking in my skin, bleeding, for five minutes or so. I asked her to move so that I could leave. She waved the broken stem of the glass in the air and said, "Leave!! Who's stopping you?"
I told her she was standing between me and the door. I felt threatened.
She laughed and said, "You're 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds! You can't feel threatened by me!"
I said, "You just broke a glass on my chest and cut me. You're standing there with the stem in your hands. Yes. I feel threatened.
She said, "No, you don't."
I asked her to move out of the way and let me pass. I didn't want her to think I was pushing her or threatening her.
She held her ground, waved the broken stem and shouted, "Go on! Leave! I'm not stopping you!"
After I asked her repeatedly, she finally moved a bit and I left, carefully stepping over the broken glass.
I have posted this here as evidence, and to help those who may think that size and gender make a difference when abuse is concerned. People who, like my estranged, think some have permission to feel threatened and some don't.
Abusers come in all sizes and genders.
She and I went to a half dozen therapists over the years. At each initial session, every therapist took a look at me, then at her (5'4" 150 lbs.). Then he or she would gravely ask my wife, "Do you feel safe?"
None ever thought to ask me.
Thanks for listening.
Because this needs to be shared. Because abuse is wrong no matter what. Because this saddens my heart.
honestly, fuck tumblr. if this was a woman this would be the only thing on my dash.
with that being said, fuck people who think that women are the only ones that can be abused in a relationship. and fuck crazy women, as well.
eeeeeeeeeee D:
Why does this have so few notes? If the man in this picture were actually a woman, this would have so many notes it'd be ridiculous. Everyone needs to see this. Everyone needs to see that abusers can be any shape or size, as if you need to see it to believe it.
And major kudos to this man for not using his size and weight when he very well could have. Kudos to you for being a decent human being, sir.
sickens me how few notes this has. Woman aren't always these fragile lil creatures and if this post was by a woman, tumblr would be all over it.
This is bullshit. All these women complain about wanting equality, but most of them are sexist themselves. And then when things happen to men, "oh, it's different because it's a guy" no. Fuck that. No one deserves to be treated this way.
This has been on the internet long enough that it should have WELL over the number of notes it does.
I almost wonder if pride is the reason for that. Regardless…This is never cool. Regardless of gender, abuse is abuse.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
I picked up my new board yesterday :) Went for a 6'0" Spitfire in the end as I liked the look of the refined tail. Stoked to have a new board! Took it out in overhead clean and semi steep conditions yesterday morning. I did notice a slight difference paddling around on it compared to my 6'8" but the easier duck diving made up for that. Only got a few waves and struggled on those few, It's going to take a while to get the board dialled in and improve my sub par fitness. It's awesome to finally make it to short board territory though! Went out again in the afternoon in shoulder to head high slightly punchier waves and had a little more success. I was always too late dropping in though and couldn't make the sections. I swapped boards with my mate for the last half hour while we were out; he has a 6'2" rusty with 27.7l of volume made for full and mushy waves (I forget the name now). To my surprise I actually got on with this board a little better than the Spit. All I put this down to is my technique fit the rusty better than the spit so need to work out what I was doing wrong. I think I need to find the sweet spot for paddling the board then everything will start getting easier.
Has anyone got any tips on how the Spit likes to be ridden? Also maybe some FCS fin options as my mate commented on how he liked the looseness but seemed to lack drive and slowed quite easily. I was using the SF4's that came with the board.
Hey YSB. If those SF4s are plastic you can use them as non-returning boomerangs - chuck them in the air like you just don't care! I just don't get on with plastic fins at all and can't get any drive out of them. Actually they are good for foiling down to a little stabiliser fin (the rear trailer that is). As you can see from my signature line I use the Rusty R2 PC quad set on my spit with a little stabiliser (somewhat similar to the knubster, big thread on that over here). I remember it took some time to learn to ride the dom all the while I was experimenting with fins to get the feeling I wanted - so when I got onto the spit I just used the same set up and there was no learning curve it was just like the dom but it turned quicker and tighter.
I find the best place to paddle the thing is probably with my chest in about the place where it would be so that the nose would be level with the top of my head if we were both standing vertically together. The spit tends to go better with a back foot approach to get the tail to gouge into the wave. Though once you get the fins sorted out that will probably help a lot.
Jesus is coming, look busy!
Moving forward or just spinning faster?
5'8 RF Vanguard 32.2L FCS H3 quad
6'0 FST Dominator 34.8L FCS PC SF4 quad + stabiliser
6'0 FST Spitfire 34.9L FCS PC R2 quad + stabiliser
6'2 FST Jacknife 33.3L FCS PC quad front/rear TC Redlines/TC Aqualines
6'2 FST Hellfire 33.7L FCS PC R2 quad + stabiliser (x 2, yes 1 here, 1 there!)
6'4 FST Alternator 34.?L FCS PG7
6'7 FST Hellrazor 36.5L FCS R2 thruster
6'5 FST Hellrazor 33.5L FCS coming
Thanks man! I think I will head back to the shop and see if they can do a deal on a set of fins. How do you find the 5 fin setup when it gets a bit bigger/steeper? Although I guess you would ride your Hellfire or Jackknife in these conditions? I think I had more success in the second session as the faces were a couple of foot smaller. Maybe a thruster set would have been better in overhead conditions?
Do you think the Rusty setup would work for me at my weight? Would you recommend a thruster set when things get bigger? After christmas I'm going to get a Hellfire but at the moment the Spit is a one board quiver for me.
I hate plastic fins too. My quadraflex came with a plastic set of stretch fins and it was slower than an average thruster. I put any fcs with performance core in and it went a lot better. I like the R2 set a lot on my Dom. I think you would do well on it. They would give you a lot of speed.
YSB, I never really change the fins - as you've surmised I just change the board to suit the conditions. For steeper waves the problem is at the front of the spitfire so changing things around at the back won't really do that much. Because there is less rocker and not much kick in the nose you really need to angle the board and take off across the wave if you can paddle into it quickly enough. Once you've made the take off the spit seems to be fine on steeper waves too though you have to perhaps be careful coming off the top of a vertical re-entry but you have plenty of options then because you have some speed to play with too. I've had my spit out in overhead waves, size is not so much the issue it's just steepness. The 5 fin configuration handles steep waves easily in my JK and HF so that isn't the issue in the spit. I think the guys that ride the spit as a thruster still find steep take offs a challenge.
Once I find the right set of fins for a board I rarely change them for different conditions. Once found, the optimum fin set up seems to be best in everything the board can handle and changing doesn't seem to help much at all, at least in boards for small to medium sized waves.
I don't think there is much merit in changing fins for different conditions, these are things inherently designed into the board itself. On the other hand if you just want to change from quad to thruster to get a different feeling (like a more pivotal feeling) for some variation in your surfing it would probably be worthwhile. I find the 5 fin configuration gives me the best of both thruster and quad - speed and a more vertical maneuverability, so I just leave it.
Jesus is coming, look busy!

Thanks for all the help Slowman! You've been a great help! I'm keen to try a 5 fin setup like you do so will look into what quad set would be best for me. Maybe just a set of performance core sf4's might be the go.

For suede drivers, colors are fine. Slippers too. Personally, I don't go further.

I'd widen the net marginally to include desert boots but otherwise as you say Will, lines must be drawn!
The Ed Green product for ready made takes some beating. Unfortunately, in England they seem to follow what seems standard practice amongst premium shoemakers of only offering only E fittings. Thus you have the irony of having to come to NY if a choice of fittings. - July 20, 2010 at 11:53:00 AM PDT

I might be tempted to widen the net as well to navy suede something like this: http://www.sanders-uk.com/products/Jack-163.php

WhoooHoo !!! First time on mainland U.S. since 1994! The annular eclipse starts May 21st over Southeast China near sunrise. It passes Japan, then crosses the International Dateline, at which point the local date becomes May 20th.
The eclipse next crosses the California/Oregon border ( )and northeastern California and passes in the late afternoon over Nevada, Utah, Arizona, a corner of Colorado and New Mexico. The phenomena ends at sunset in Texas.
According to my calcs we should catch the event perfectly at Hallelujah Junction (highway 395 at 70)
