Thread: Nice day to get stuck
Ok not many posters here about getting stuck, but here, where i live, it just happens, no need to think it has an adverse affect on what we think of your driving skills,,,,,, its all about how many trucks tractors and rigging it takes you to get unstuck the we rate your driving skills on,,,,,
So I promised you a story of the best stuck ever,,, well here it is, we call it " I ton water truck/duck
The truck: GMC Tow Truck, bought at auction for 1500.00 in 1990,, sold the wrecker, lights and safety gear 2900.00 , and needed a water truck in a hurry, so we strapped on a 250 gallon polly tank a 3 inch fill pump and a 1 inch pressure pump add 300 ft of high pressure hose some racks and mounting and you have a built in a day water truck.....
Worked it all day hauling filling and dumping, last run of the day, we ran the tank dry, drained the pumps and laid the hose out down hill so no risk of freezing over night and would be ready to go at 6 am.........
6 am the next morning go to get the truck ........its gone...... vanished...... we left it right here on the top of the hill in bull low and the park brake engaged........ ohhh Wait there is the hose way down the hill but its facing up hill ..... thats so weird... follow the 300 ft of hose, ohhh found the truck, in bull low with the park brake still engaged in the creek, all most floating .... well lets get the loader and getter out, nope loader won't pull it, ok lets get the truck and tie it to the loader and the two should pull it out,,, Nope,,, ok now what.. this is when the first rule of custom shop work comes to play, in the field ....if it don't fit get a hammer, if it still don't fit get a bigger hammer.... well we call the neighbour and he came over with his big massy,,, that will pull it for sure,,, nope Neighbour goes back home puts on the duallies, with a snort and grunt it finally tugged that water truck out,,, ok now if we were all at home and the truck was in bull low and park brake engaged, How did this truck end up in the Creek????
that night we repeated our exact steps of the night before, but this time we waited and watched , of course we had a bottle of Jack,Ice and some cola we hung out had a few drinks while watching the truck and listening to some good tunes... half way through the bottle we noticed the truck had moved 12 feet, down hill, no one was near it it just moved,,,, so we drank the rest of the bottle and barked at the moon as we discovered that this truck was really a water truck, or duck......it back click of a cog approx. every 3 sec click... click... click... down the hill towards the creek. apparently the park brakes were not grabbing,, ever been this stuck?

03-24-2012, 11:26 AM #14I have friends in MN who do a lot of mudding. Looks to be really fun but the hills of Tennessee don't lend themselves to good mudding spots. Plus my Burb is only 2wd. It's somewhat flatter back home but most years there's not enough precip to make real good mud. Here they have reasonably normal seasons with the exception of this winter. Wasn't quite as cold as last year but was still cold. However it always warmed up before any precip showed up. Back home we have 4 seasons, but 2 of them have the same name so it's really 3 LOL. Start the new year in winter (before I moved to this part of the country I'd never seen less than 6" of snow fall at once), then it's tornado season, summer, tornado season again, and then we finish the year back in winter. Some years each of the two tornado seasons last longer than others, and naturally I've seen 'em every month of the year.

A beach water advisory has been issued for Turtle Beach, after Sarasota County Health Department officials found a concerning level of enterococci (enteric) bacteria in water samples taken Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Signs advising the public to avoid the water in the Turtle Beach area have been posted, and will remain in place until officials find water testing results satisfactory.
The county health department plans to conduct follow-up samplings today, and results are expected tomorrow afternoon.
The recent red tide algae bloom in the area is not implicated to be the cause of the elevated levels of enteric bacteria.
According the press release, enteric bacteria can come from stormwater runoff, pet waste and wildlife and human sewage. When detected in high concentrations in recreational waters, these bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illnesses, infections or rashes if ingested while swimming or after entering the skin through a cut or sore.
Residents and visitors may still use the Turtle beach area, but are urged not to wade, swim or participate in any other water recreation event until the advisory is lifted. It is still safe to fish and consume fish caught in this area.
Other beaches in the area are not under a beach water advisory. Residents can go to www.ourgulfenvironment.net and click on water monitoring, then bacterial testing to check the beach water results, or can contact the Sarasota County Health Department's Environmental Health office at 941-861-6133.

I didn't like it because the narration was too grating. I've never made it all the way through because of it
The Director's Cut is, IIRC, the best version. The Final Cut is also worth watching. Any version without the voice-over narration is worth watching, really. It's the theatrical cut that is really unwatchable.
Is it out on blu-ray yet? I actually don't have a blu-ray player ATM so I haven't followed too closely but the blu-ray screenshots of it looked fucking phenomenal.
All that said - Blade Runner is not an easy movie. I can understand and respect someone not liking it. It's very meandering, surreal, and dream-like in its pacing, all with good reason, but the end result is something very surreal and dream-like that doesn't appeal to everyone. The best description of the movie's 'feel' and pacing is one from a fellow Goon - 'it's a movie that doesn't really care whether or not you watch it.'
Do you like big boobs? Dragons? Ninja? Martial arts? Wizards? Then click here and make all your wildest dreams come true!!

That's coincidental that Jub. is reading that book, cause I've started reading it about a week ago...
Also, I enjoyed the movie, so I'm hoping I enjoy the book, too. I like it thus far (chap. 8).
**Movie topic** My friend and I went to see Looper, which was an okay movie, but I found a major plot hole (which, smarter people can find more, I'm sure.) I'm putting in spoilers, so don't read unless you don't care.
That was the same thing that annoyed me about Looper. The whole reason for the time travel element was kind of dumb :/
That and...
It was still a good movie to watch, but it's definitely not the best time travel movie ever like several critics have claimed.
I always felt that making a time travel movie is dangerous and risky, the whole concept of time travel is hard to argument and even if its well done it still rise too many valid questions. So if you make time travel a relevant element on your story you are always going to have to face the hard reality that its pretty hard to make a time travel movie.
Is not like you can make a Donnie Darko or Primer so easily. And even Donnie Darko was just luck, the director didn't want to make a time travel movie but rather a super hero movie that basically went wrong but made as a great psychological thriller about time travel, and let's not talk about Primer which is almost impossible to watch, and I find that its that element (being almost impossible to watch) what saves it from any argumentation critique, as you need soo much of yourself to understand the movie that its hard to also find plot holes on it.

Only noticed quite recently that there's a been a graphic novel version of Do Androids Dream...?, should anyone fancy it. The art didn't really grab me, but I gather it's a pretty faithful adaptation.
Have you guys seen this
Yeah, and I just saw a movie a week or two ago that surprisingly passed.

Very Cool!! I wonder what the specs are gonna look like??
On FB, Grissom said this: "2 different amps........2 different wattages and circuits."
Mike Cantrell
If Grissom worked as hard on his signature amp as he did his signature guitar, there should be some interesting tweaks there. Some might call it being picky, I call it getting it trying your best to get the tone you hear in your head.
I know that it's all way above my guitar pay grade, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the effort put in by David, Doug and Paul.
There's going to be a Grissom amp?! Where have I been?
I'd definitely give it a listen.

I can't share any details, but by all accounts these things will be tone machines
Can't wait to hear one!
I'm sure it will be stellar.

Very nice sailor bank made by McCoy for Seaman's Savings Bank! It is in super condition – the original metal stopper is missing and there is a teeny production pin-pop under his nose (it is production and is not detracting). Great addition to a collection!
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
We purchased this Shawnee combination cookie jar/bank at an Indiana estate sale and it is truly a treasure to add to a collection! Bottom is marked: Patented, Winnie, Shawnee, USA, 61. She is in excellent condition – unbelievable – no nibbles at the coin slot (I don't believe the bank portion was ever used). There is some tape/blue residue on the underneath part of the lid that I would surmise was taped to cover the 3 production holes (so cookies would stay fresh)...
Excellent condition McCoy bank produced for Bowery Savings Bank! Shaped like a money chest, the bank is a replica of the first money chest of 1834 and is so noted on bottom of bank. Measures 6 1/8" long, 3 ¾" wide, and 3" tall. It is in wonderful condition – even has the original metal "stopper". Super item that is becoming more and more difficult to find!
This is a cute Frankoma item – it's a piggy bank! Piggy has a basket on his back and he's either lazy or the basket is "heavy" because he's sitting on his hiney. Measures 4 ¼" tall (at tallest), 6" long (at longest), 3 ¼" wide (at widest) and is a pretty yellow color with shiny glaze. Has the original rubber stopper and is in mint condition!
These are neat banks and would be excellent gifts for baby! There is a pink bank and a blue bank – your choice. Banks measure 7" tall (at tallest) and are marked 643 on bottoms. Excellent condition!
***The pink bear bank has been sold.***
This is a super bank and a great collectible! It's a Kreiss look-alike bank and it really is – the color and color shadings are excellent! This is the "Put Your Money Where My Mouth Is" bank, he's blue with black "hair" and is in excellent condition. Has a small "souvenir of Florida" sticker on front. Even though this is a Kreiss look-alike, it's very collectible in its' own right and is listed in the 1999 Kreiss reference book with a value of $80! Neat item.
This listing has an unmarked McCoy sailor bank that was produced as a premium give-away for Seaman's Bank! It has excellent color and mold detail but it has "use" evidence. The hat brim has a tiny glaze ding, there is another at the coin slot, and the base has sustained a ding with resulting ½" hairline and a craze mark. There is some crazing at front bottom base and it is missing the metal stopper...
Made by McCoy for Metz Brewing Company, this is a neat bank! It's in wonderful condition – has no chips or cracks but has lost approximately 20% of the original cold paint and has lost its stopper. Neat item, difficult to find!
This is an adorable bank! Made by American Bisque, bank is shaped like a snowman's head and he's nattily attired with top hat, earmuffs, and a bow tie. Measures 6 7/8" tall (at tallest) and is in wonderful condition – feels like he has had minor color touch-ups on his hat and he doesn't have a stopper – that's it! Very nice collectible.
This is a cute, older Santa bank! Measures 5 ¾" tall and has a red with gold "made in Japan' sticker on bottom. He is papier-mache' and is in very good condition with some flecks of missing color (could be easily touched up). Nice item!
Isn't this an ugly cutie! This is the "Money Hungry" bank with "hair" – a Kreiss look-a-like. Measures 5 ½" tall and has no chips or cracks! Per reference book dated 1999, this bank is valued at $70 – we found at a nice price and are happy to share! Neat collectible, not your everyday find.

Islam's Inadvertent Patterns
by Daniel Pipes • March 10, 2014 • The Washington Times
How does Islam shape the way Muslims live? The religion's formal requirements are the narrow base for a far wider structure of patterns that extend the formal rules of Islam, stretching them in unexpected and unplanned ways. A few examples:
The Koran strictly bans the consumption of pork, leading to the virtual disappearance of domesticated pigs in Muslim-majority areas, then their replacement by sheep and goats. These latter overgrazed the land which led, as the geographer Xavier de Planhol observes, to "a catastrophic deforestation" that in turn "is one of the basic reasons for the sparse landscape particularly evident in the Mediterranean districts of Islamic countries." Note the progression from Koranic dietary injunction to the desertification of vast tracts of land. The scriptural command was not intended to cause ecological damage, but it did.

Pollard Pardon? Not Now
by Daniel Pipes • February 23, 2014
Jonathan Pollard's life sentence for the crimes he committed nearly 30 years ago is, without a doubt, both a travesty of justice and completely disproportionate.
Indeed, I offered Pollard advice and help when he called me from prison for some years in the mid-1990s. For example, I published an original document about his trial in 1997 and evinced new information about him from Caspar Weinberger in a 1999 interview. I have maintained a weblog entry exposing the rank hypocrisy of U.S. leaders who come down so hard on Pollard even as American intelligence services spy no less, and probably much more, on Israel.
I mention these bona fides because I do not want Barack Obama to pardon Pollard.
Iran's Nuclear Buildup and American Irrelevance
by Daniel Pipes • February 22, 2014
The Menendez-Kirk "Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2013" (S. 1881) threatens the Iranian regime with additional sanctions and appears to be the only way to counter the Obama administration's flaccidity vis-à-vis Tehran.
I am skeptical, however, that it can do much good.
In short, Washington is no longer a player in the Iran game. The views and actions of the U.S. government count about as much as those of the Belgian government - i.e., hardly at all.
The Rushdie Fatwa 25 Years Later
by Daniel Pipes • February 14, 2014
Twenty-five years ago today, Ayatollah Khomeini brought his edict down on Salman Rushdie. Iran's revolutionary leader objected to the author's magical-realist novel The Satanic Verses because of its insults to the Muslim prophet Muhammad and responded by calling for the execution of Rushdie and "all those involved in the publication who were aware of its contents."
That Rushdie was born in India, lived in Britain, and had no significant connections to Iran made this an unprecedented act of aggression, one that resounded widely at the time and has subsequently had an enduring impact. Indeed, one could argue that the era of "creeping Shari'a" or "stealth jihad" or "lawful Islamism" began on February 14, 1989, with the issuance of that short edict.
Obama's Hollow Promises Abroad
by Daniel Pipes • February 12, 2014 • The Washington Times
As U.S. credibility and stature diminish in world affairs, the American president and his secretaries of state and defense engage in eloquent denial. Unfortunately for them, realities trump words, even persuasive ones.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, "where the water-cooler chatter was about America's waning influence in the Middle East," John Kerry proclaimed himself "perplexed by claims... that somehow America is disengaging from the world." Nothing could be further from the truth, he asserted: "We are entering an era of American diplomatic engagement that is as broad and as deep as any at any time in our history." Likewise, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has called for "a renewed and enhanced era of partnership with our friends and allies."
In this spirit, Obama has made multiple promises to reassure allies.
Jews in Palestine?
by Daniel Pipes • February 6, 2014 • Israel Hayom
A brouhaha erupted recently in Israel over a completely theoretical question: could Israelis now living in the West Bank* be allowed to live under Palestinian rule? This debate usefully focused attention on one of the trickiest and deepest issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and so it bears pondering.
Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu started things off on Jan. 24: "I do not intend to remove a single [Jewish] settlement [on the West Bank]. I do not intend to displace a single [Jewish] Israeli." Glossing this statement, an unnamed official in the prime minister's office (PMO) explained that, "Just as Israel has an Arab minority, the prime minister doesn't see why Palestine can't have a Jewish minority. The Jews living on their side should have a choice whether they want to stay or not." That aide characterized this as Netanyahu's "long-standing" position.
Pretending Tel Aviv Is the Capital of Israel
by Daniel Pipes • February 3, 2014
Some, especially in the mainstream media, pretend that not Jerusalem but Tel Aviv serves as the capital of Israel. (Tel Aviv hosts the Ministry of Defense but not much else of the central government.) The weblog entry documents some of those delusions, which are appearing more often, in reverse chronological order:
Agence France Press: An article on Jan. 23, "Israel PM urges European 'fairness' in Mideast," states that four European Union states lodged "a formal protest against Tel Aviv's drive to expand settlements on the West Bank." (January 26, 2014)
The New York Times: A front-page headline today over a story by Mark Landler and Jodi Rudoren uses "Tel Aviv" as a synonym for Israel's capital: "Mideast Chaos Grows as U.S. Focuses on Israel—Kerry's Tel Aviv Push Raises Questions About Priorities." (July 2, 2013)
CTV, a Canadian television station: Reported on Jan. 8 that "Tel Aviv is dealing with a heavy rain situation. The storms flooded roads and brought chaos to the Israeli capital." (January 17, 2013)
Yawning over the Latest Headline News from the Middle East
by Daniel Pipes • January 26, 2014
The Middle East does offer some signs of hope, such as the inspiring example of Israel, the metaphorical "villa in the jungle"; the bracing prospect of Islamists falling into disarray; and the emergence of an independent Kurdistan.
But these are the exceptions. In general, the region these days spawns such unchanging, repetitious and dreary news that this commentator barely reads more than headlines and has little to say about them. Consider some leading issues of the moment:
The Middle East Forum Reaches Twenty Years
by Daniel Pipes • January 24, 2014 • National Review Online
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the Middle East Forum.
January 24, 1994, was absolutely the wrong moment to establish an organization that worried about the Middle East. As one potential donor impolitely asked: "Who needs you?" The U.S. victory in Kuwait, the Soviet collapse, and the Oslo Accords had left Middle East watchers feeling uncharacteristically sanguine. As I joked at the time, it was an opportunity to improve one's tennis backhand and barbequing technique.
So, at our start, we had to work hard to convince the public that dangers were brewing. That meant dwelling specifically on problems. For example, I wrote in the introduction to the first issue of our journal, the Middle East Quarterly:
With the end of the Cold War, the Middle East becomes the most militarized region in the world. Situated in the vortex of Europe, Africa and Asia, the persisting enmities of the region joined to new military technologies portend much trouble both within and outside the region.
The Sick Middle East
by Daniel Pipes • January 24, 2014 • The Washington Times
The recent fall of Fallujah, Iraq, to an Al-Qaeda-linked group provides an unwelcome reminder of the American resources and lives devoted in 2004 to 2007 to control the city – all that effort expended and nothing to show for it. Similarly, outlays of hundreds of billions of dollars to modernize Afghanistan did not prevent the release of 72 prisoners who have attacked Americans.
These two examples point to a larger conclusion: maladies run so deep in the Middle East (minus remarkable Israel) that outside powers cannot remedy them. Here's a fast summary:

When Politicians State "I Am" or "I Am Not" Something

It's a handy rule-of-thumb that when a politician – usually in a press conference, where he's annoyed repeatedly with the same question about his judgment – announces that he is or is not something, well, he is that thing.
Recent examples of this phenomenon have come tumbling in hard and fast:
Has Iran Gained a Foothold in the Arabian Peninsula?
by Daniel Pipes • January 15, 2014
According to a sensational report by Awad Mustafa in DefenseNews, a Gannett publication, not only has Tehran signed an agreement with the United Arab Emirates over three disputed islands near the Strait of Hormuz, but it has also reached a possibly even more important accord with the government of Oman. Both of these agreements have vast implications for the oil trade, the world economy, and Iranian influence.
According an unnamed "high level UAE source," secretive talks taking place over six months led to a deal on the Greater and Lesser Tunbs finalized on Dec. 24: "For now, two of the three islands are to return to the UAE while the final agreement for Abu Musa is being ironed out. Iran will retain the sea bed rights around the three islands while the UAE will hold sovereignty over the land."
This is big news, but yet bigger potentially is the source's stating that "Oman will grant Iran a strategic location on Ras Musandam mountain, which is a very strategic point overlooking the whole gulf region. In return for Ras Musandam, Oman will receive free gas and oil from Iran once a pipeline is constructed within the coming two years."
Ten Percent of Muslims Call for Niqabs or Burqas
by Daniel Pipes • January 11, 2014
A survey conducted in seven Muslim-majority countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Pakistan) finds that a median of 10 percent of the respondents prefer women to wear either a niqab (#2) or burqa (#1) when in public. The specific country figures range enormously, from 74 percent approval of these two garments in Saudi Arabia and 35 percent in Pakistan to 3 percent in Lebanon and Tunisia and just 2 percent in Turkey.
Woman #4, whose hair and ears are covered by an amira, was far and away, deemed the most appropriately dressed for appearing in public, with 44 percent of the vote, followed in a distant second place by the lighter hijab of woman #5 at 12 percent. No head covering at all found a measly 4 percent support.
"Kerry Is Just Not in Touch with Reality"
by Daniel Pipes • January 9, 2014
Despite all that's going on the Middle East – the Iranian nuclear buildup, the violence in Iraq, the shaking of Erdoğan's rule in Turkey, civil war in Syria, Egypt and Yemen in melt-down mode, Libya unraveling, Tunisia in political crisis – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has one main thing on his mind, and that's a Palestinian-Israeli accord. Unbelievably, he is paying a twelfth visit to the region on Jan. 13 to pursue this goal.
As he returns and returns again, senior Israeli diplomatic officials are showing impatience with him. Here are quotes from some, speaking not for attribution and very candidly to Israel Hayom. First, about process:

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration's (TSA's) new Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program—which requires port workers and visitors such as truck drivers to have a biometric, chip-imbedded identification card to enter—is not expected to delay inbound or outbound metals shipments, industry sources say.
However the lack of any immediate impact is due mainly to the fact that there are so few loads of steel and aluminum being shipped these days, and some truckers have complained about long lines and rising costs associated with the program.

Edible Magazine's Rachel Wharton recently checked out the Union Square Greenmarket and filed the following report.
Our next issue is all about eating and drinking locally and there's no better way to do that than to grow your own. Luckily, there's Silver Heights Farm at Union Square Greenmarket. For a decade, Trina Pilonero has grown the city's best organic seedlings and helped urban gardeners choose the right plants.
"It's real important to me that when these plants go out that the people get them, learn how to grow them if they know how to do that. So we're also here for advice, which is quite free," says Pilonero.
Pilonero's plants are open-pollinated, meaning you can save your own seeds to plant next year. They're also diverse. She has about 2,000 varieties in her catalog, including 25 kinds of basil.
"For instance, the tomato plants, I don't sell six or 10 or 20. I sell 325 varieties, and I've actually whittled down the number to 325 varieties," Pilonero says. "And I pick them based on a bunch of things. I pick plants for their productivity, for their flavor, and for their ability to perform in the current area in the Northeast."
Pilonero also picks plants for New York's multi-culti community of cooks.
"So if you're from one area of the world, let's say you're from Japan and you want Japanese plants, I've got a lot of them, so you can have some of the plants that you knew from wherever it is you're from," says Pilonero.
A word of advice: don't ask her to name a favorite.
"People ask me all the time what my favorite tomato is and it's kind of like asking who's your favorite child," Pilonero says. "I like lime green salad cause it's got a beautiful color. I like Jaune Flamme cause the color and the flavor are exquisite. I like Mortgage Lifter because it tastes great and has got a wonderful story. I like Cherokee Purple, Dorothy's Green. I mean...I like them all." Customers say they love the variety, even on gray days that seem a long way from summer tomatoes.

THANK YOU! The 2013 Festival was Amazing! |
The 7th-annual Salem Jazz and Soul Festival, held at Salem Willows the weekend of Aug. 17-18, was an unprecedented success due to the contributions of hundreds of individuals and organizations. More than 6,000 people attended the two-day, free concert and they all contributed to a family-friendly, safe weekend in a beautiful setting with perfect weather. Thanks to all the individuals and organizations who pitched in to make this happen -- sponsors, volunteers, musicians, audience members, Berklee College of Music, Salem State University, all city departments, Mayor Kimberley Driscoll, Rep. John Keenan, Ellen Talkowsky, dedicated volunteers, residents around the Willows, Salem Trolley, the Hobbs and Campbell families, and especially Wire 4 Hire, Inc. You all helped us forward our nonprofit mission of producing free concerts and donating to music education causes. The Salem Jazz and Soul Festival is run by an 11- member volunteer board of directors and I'd like to personally thank them for all their hard work. We look forward to next year.

HU sweeps Goshen
The Forester
team (12-10, 5-1) pounded out 27 hits against Goshen College as they swept the Maple Leafs in convincing fashion, 12-1 and 12-5.
With two outs in the top of the first of game one, the Foresters strung together five hits to score three runs and grab the early lead. Goshen responded with a run in the bottom half of their frame but HU plated two more in the top of the third to extend their lead to four. Andrew Drummond's three-run blast to left in the following inning broke the game wide open as HU enjoyed the 7-1 lead. The Foresters added four more insurance runs in the sixth to secure the 12-1 blowout.
Mitch Bowers went the distance for HU, limiting Goshen to two hits while issuing no walks and striking out ten. Adam Christner paced the Foresters at the plate with three hits and an RBI. Drummond, Ryan Shell and Jamon Hammel each finished with three RBI.
In the nightcap, the Maple Leafs jumped out to the 2-0 lead after an inning of play but the Foresters five-run second inning gave them a lead they would never relinquish. After Travis Frantz singled to center to get things started, Eric Harpring's triple gave HU their first run of the game. With the bases loaded, Christner finished off the scoring frenzy with a double to right that plated three more HU runs.
The Foresters added four more runs in the top of the fourth. The inning ended much like the second but this time it was Harpring who doubled with the bases loaded to land him three RBI and extend HU's lead to 9-2. Goshen responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning but the Foresters matched that in the sixth as they cruised to the 12-5 victory.
Cody Walters earned the win on the mound giving up five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two. Frantz led the Foresters by going three-for-three at the plate while Harpring collected four RBI.

We're still trying to figure out what the "Harlem Shake" is, but the St. Leo baseball team seems to have it down pat.
And it's sure to bring a smile to your face. A video the team posted on YouTube seems to be on its way into viral world. It shows the team -- most dressed in outrageous costumes -- doing a choreographed dance.
(At least we think it was choreographed, but at this point, who knows)
It had just a few hundred views around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning. By 6 a.m. after making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter, it was up to a few thousand.
Here is the link to the video on You Tube:

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
Dr. Jart's Black Label BB is the BEST BB cream I have ever tried AND my current beauty product OBSESSION, and here are 4 reasons why:
1) It does like a million amazing things for your skin AND it makes you look amazing.
2) You can use it all by itself or with other products (with or without moisturizer underneath, with or without primer, with or without foundation or powder, etc). So it's really versatile for either day or evening.
3) It goes on SO smooth but NOT greasy! I've used drugstore brands and higher end brands. They can be either too greasy (which made me not be able to use enough for fear of being an oil slick) or too dry (which made me use too much product in order to get it all over my face). This product is a happy medium!!
4) It's a universal shade!!! Whaattt?? I'm so fair I could pass for a Cullen, so when I got my sample, I avoided it because I squirted a little out and it was darker than what I would normally use, but when I finally broke down and actually used it, it matched perfectly. No more worrying about getting a color match or getting the wrong shade for your skin or having to have two shades for summer and winter. It's like MAGIC!
Love love love LOVE LOVE!
This was my first BB cream ever, and now I see what the hype is! I have extremely fair skin, yet the color matched me perfectly. It also went on smooth and made my skin look flawless when I added a touch of powder.
I've received 3 Dr. Jart+ BB cream samples, and this one is my favorite. It really does melt into my skin in the perfect, non-greasy way to just make it look like I was born with a fantastic, even complexion.
This BB cream is all it says it is. It is light, gives great coverage, and lasts all day. I hate heavy creams, but this one is light and still gives great color.
I've been using this product for a year so I figured I should show it some love - and I do LOVE IT. I use a moisturizer, then this BB cream, and finally some pressed powder as my routine. This product feels great going on and gives just the right amount of coverage & tint. I have very fair skin but the tint seems to blend in perfectly.
I was super excited about this BB cream after reading about all the goodies it has in it for the skin. I have to admit - at first, I was disappointed at the color of the cream - it looked a bit ashy. DIFFERENT story once it goes on. The color somehow blends in with your own and covers minor imperfections. The texture is great. As someone with sensitive skin I can say this formula is very nourishing and soothing - no breakouts, no redness - just a smooth even complexion. Highly recommended.
Dr Jarts bb cream makes my skin look like it's glowing! It blends in well and looks flawless. A little goes a long way! I will never go back to using a thick cakey foundation.
I have tried multiple different kinds of BB Cream and this is definitely my favorite. Smooth, light and gives just the right amount of coverage.
I absolutely adore anything Dr. Jart+ comes out with, so when I saw he made a BB Balm that was a detox balm, I was all in.
The texture, coverage and scent are all to my liking. If I could afford it, I'd exclusively use his line.
Not as moisturizing as I had hoped. I had hoped it would glide on like most BB creams that I have used. You really had to work it in and I feel like it wasn't really making me look all that great. Also, it really washed me out. I have an olive complexion and it just didn't work.

The Hungarian Ministry of Human Resources has appointed Szilveszter Ókovács as General Director of the Hungarian State Opera for five years. The Minister's decision has been made in accordance to the recommendation of the Tender Board.
Get festive with us - have a glimpse at this behind the scenes video of our Xmas preparations and the opening of the Nutcracker Festival which awaits everyone throughout December.
Outdoor festival throughout December with a huge Xmas tree, amazing festive lights, choirs, hot drinks and the stars of the Hungarian State Opera & the Hungarian National Ballet. Everybody is welcome to Andrassy Avenue, in front of the building of the Opera. (Photo gallery and video)
Managed by the Hungarian State Opera, the Erkel Theatre is scheduled to officially re-open its doors one year from now (7 November) to the date we intend to establish and celebrate as Hungarian Opera Day. It is for this reason that, on the 202nd anniversary of the birth of Ferenc Erkel and in accordance with a government decree requiring the Erkel Theatre's "restoration to a state suitable for staging theatrical productions", we will be announcing that the public procurement tender for this work has been won by Laki Épületszobrász Zrt. on 17 November, directly following the expected expiry of the legally specified ten-day moratorium. From the end of the first phase of construction in March 2013, 100 days of test operation will begin at the Erkel Theatre, during which time the Opera House artists will play a total of 80 times in the famous building on Pope John Paul II Square. /7 November 2012/

TRUTEIN : the ultimate protein
I wouldn't typically review a protein product because they are all defined by personal opinion based upon taste usually.
Flavor: Chocolate dipped strawberry
Taste 10/10: tastes amazing; a mild chocolate taste with a strong natural strawberry taste - seriously like a real strawberry tastes, not an artificial type taste whatsoever. Actually has little strawberry chunks in it. I always look forward to this shake after my workouts because it tastes so good.
Profile 9/10: 23 grams of protein and added omega-3's from flaxseed and chia seeds, nucleotide blend, 2.5g of fiber, and an enzyme blend. All with only 1.5 grams of fat. 40-40-20 blend of whey-casein-egg proteins is also great for sustained release. The only thing lacking from this profile is the content of aminos, which for me isn't a big deal because I usually take an amino supplement intra-workout.
MIXABILITY 9/10: this product mixes very well in a shaker cup. some foaming at the top occurs.
Overall I would recommend this protein to anyone looking for an amazing tasting protein with a great profile.

Fisherman's Wharf is a neighborhood and popular tourist attraction in San Francisco, California. It roughly encompasses the northern waterfront area of San Francisco from Ghirardelli Square or Van Ness Avenue east to Pier 35 or Kearny Street. The F Market streetcar runs through the area, the Powell-Hyde cable car lines runs to Aquatic Park, at the edge of Fisherman's Wharf, and the Powell-Mason cable car line runs a few blocks away.
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf gets its name and neighborhood characteristics from the city's early days of the mid to later 1800s when Italian immigrant fishermen came to the city by the bay to take advantage of the influx of population due to the gold rush. One in particular, Achille Paladini found it so lucrative he made a fortune wholesaling the local crustaceans and went on to become California's second most wealthy Italian, second to none other than the founder of the Bank of Italy, later to become the Bank of America. He was also a pioneer in developing the fish industry on the west coast and went on to be known as the "Fish King." Most of the Italian immigrant fishermen settled in the North Beach area close to the wharf and fished for the local delicacies and the now famed Dungeness crab. From then until the present day it remained the home base of San Francisco's fishing fleet. Despite its redevelopment into a tourist attraction during the 1970s and 1980s, the area is still home to many active fishermen and their fleets.
In 2010, a $15,000,000 development plan was proposed by city officials hoping to revitalize its appearance for tourists, and to reverse the area's downward trend in popularity among San Francisco residents, who have shunned the locale over the years.[1][2]
Attractions and characteristics[edit]
One of the busiest and well known tourist attractions in the western United States, Fisherman's Wharf is best known for being the location of Pier 39, the Cannery Shopping Center, Ghirardelli Square, a Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, the Musée Mécanique, the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquarium of the Bay, and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.
Seafood restaurants are aplenty in the area. Some include the floating Forbes Island restaurant[3] at Pier 39 to stands that serve fresh seafood, most notably Dungeness crab and clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl. Some of the restaurants, including Fishermen's Grotto, Pompei's Grotto and Alioto's, go back for three generations of the same family ownership. Other restaurants include chains like Joe's Crab Shack and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
Other attractions in Fisherman's Wharf area are the Hyde Street Pier (part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park), the USS Pampanito, a decommissioned World War II era submarine, and the Balclutha, a 19th-century cargo ship. Nearby Pier 45 has a chapel in memory of the "Lost Fishermen" of San Francisco and Northern California.
There is a sea lion colony next to Pier 39. They "took-up" residence months before the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. The sea lions lie on wooden docks that were originally meant for docking boats.
Fisherman's Wharf plays host to many San Francisco events, including a world-class fireworks display for Fourth of July, and some of the best views of the Fleet Week air shows.
One of the city's most popular figures is a harmless but controversial resident of Fisherman's Wharf called the World Famous Bushman, a local street performer who sits behind some branches and startles people who walk by. He has been a permanent entertainer in the Fishermen's Wharf area for the past 30 years and has gained a fair amount of notoriety among the locals and tourists that have been warned about him.
Cultural references[edit]
In 1985, the wharf was used as a filming location in the James Bond film A View to a Kill, where Bond (played for the last time by Roger Moore) met with CIA agent Chuck Lee (David Yip) in his quest to eliminate the villain of the film, Max Zorin (Christopher Walken).[4]

Oh no...not this. Believe it or not, you might be cutting back on bacon and other pork products in the not so distant future. The British National Pig Association (I'll bet you've never heard of them before) predicts a global shortage of pork next year because of shrinking pig herds. Why are they shrinking? Because of the drought we've had. Corn and soybean production, two major food sources for pigs, are way down because of the drought. So blame the lack of rain in the Midwest for that $15 Bacon cheeseburger next year.
It looks like it won't be as bad in the U.S. as it will be in Europe. Pork production next year is only going to be 1.3% lower in the U.S. compared to this year. But in Great Britain, pork losses could be as high as 10%, which would mean pork prices could double.
So the bottom line is...prepare for higher pork prices next year. But your pork tenderloin won't be as expensive here as it will be in London.
