Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Didn't See A Single Hound Dog…
Our trip to Clarksdale originated in Atlanta. I had flown there from Southwest Florida. Since this whole adventure had originally been inspired by the movie Muscle Shoals, our route took us to the famed Alabama town first. After our stop there, we made our way down to Tupelo, Mississippi where we spent the night.
Many of you know, Tupelo is the birthplace of "The King"… Elvis Presley. Now I want to be clear… I'm not a fan. Never was. I understand his importance… I understand his fame. But for me, the commercialism and popularity outweighed the music. Granted, he was the first… that was just never enough for me.
But… we were here.
So we headed on over to see the birthplace of Elvis. As I feared, it was a museum-like tribute/presentation. It was impressive to see the house and how small it was. However, the car which took Elvis and his father off to Memphis in the middle of the night… wasn't "the car" at all. It was a 1937 Plymouth "just like" the one they used. Fair enough.
After the visit to the birthplace, we decided it might be fun to drop in on Johnnies Bar-B-Q. This was the place were Elvis would go after to school for a "doe burger" and an RC Cola. Ding, ding, ding… BONUS!!!! Johnnies was cool. Unassuming, virtually unaltered, Johnnies continues today just as it did back then. Yes, Elvis ate here. Do they make their living from that? No. Are they happy to share a chuckle with you? Hell yeah! We signed the guest book, looked at all the memorabilia, took some photos and even had a "doe burger."
The real bonus came, however, when we began chatting with the gentleman in the booth next to us. A life long resident of Tupelo, he was happy to share tales of the town, some Elvis trivia and his love of music and the blues. This guy was a delight. He introduced himself with just a bit of a drawl… I'm Charles Justice… and Charles couldn't have been nicer. He literally made our day.
We were back on the road by noon… but if you're ever in Tupelo, drop in on Johnnies. If you're lucky, you might run into Charles!
Muscle Shoals… the sound.
On the trip down to Clarksdale and the famed Crossroads, we took a detour and ran on up to Muscle Shoals, Alabama. If you don't know the whole story about Muscle Shoals, you really need to check out the new movie documenting the phenomena surrounding the area and the music that came out of there.
In a nutshell, there were two important studios in Muscle Shoals that contributed to the Muscle Shoals Sound. One is FAME and the other is Muscle Shoals Sound.
Much of the story revolves around a gentleman named Rick Hall and a group of musicians known as The Muscle Shoals Sound Rhythm Section… known as the Swampers. The original rhythm section ultimately left FAME Studios to open Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
FAME Studios, founded by Rick Hall, was first located above a drugstore in Florence, Alabama. After his first hit recording, Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On," Hall used the profits to build FAME Studio's current location on Avalon Avenue in Muscle Shoals. The list of artists who have recorded there include Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Joe Tex, Duane Allman, The Hour Glass, Clarence Carter, Candi Staton, Mac Davis, Paul Anka, Tom Jones, Etta James, Andy Williams, The Osmonds, Shenandoah, and many others.
The Muscle Shoals Sound Studio was formed when the Swampers left FAME to go it on their own. They were the first rhythm section to own their own studio and eventually, their own publishing and production company. Their success led to an all-star list of performers coming through Muscle Shoals all seeking to gain that distinctive sound; The Rolling Stones, Stevie Windwood and Traffic, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Elton John, Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Julien Lennon, Rod Stewart, Wilson Pickett and most notably, Aretha Franklin. In fact, not many people realize that the "Queen of Soul" got her driving sound from a Caucasian rhythm section… the Swampers.
Be sure and check out Greg Camalier's documentary Muscle Shoals, about Rick Hall, FAME, and the Swampers ultimate departure to form Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The film is available in the iTunes Store and includes interviews with Bono, Alicia Keys, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards.
The Crossroads
It travels 1400 miles… for the most part tracing the Mississippi River from Minnesota to New Orleans. And while it may not have carry the 'pop' nuance of Route 66, it carries more folklore and American cultural history than perhaps any other road in America. Known as The Blues Highway, Highway 61 is to blues music what Woodward Avenue is to cars. John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters all came from this part of the Delta, 75 miles south of Memphis. Bob Dylan titled his sixth studio album Highway 61 revisited. You could argue Mr. Zimmerman was paying tribute to his home state of Minnesota, where the highway begins. I'm betting it refers to that stretch of road that passes through Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Highway 61… The Blues Highway, runs through the Mississippi Delta country. Often noted as the "poorest place in the poorest state," credit the region as the birth place of the Blues. The junction of Highway 61 and 49 is situated just outside Clarksdale and is famously known as "The Crossroads." The Crossroads, as legend tells it, is where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his magical connection to his music. It's where Bessie Smith died at what is now the historic Riverside Inn from injuries sustained in a car accident. It's where you'll learn first hand how the human endeavor to make music can survive and even surpass the deepest of troubles and the hardest life imaginable. Clapton sang about the Crossroads. The town, the region and the Crossroads are all sung about in the music of various artists. Many with roots throughout the Mississippi Delta.
I was able to spend a few days in Clarksdale. Unfortunately, that's only enough time to have a cursory glance. It's only enough time to whet you're appetite for the history of Clarksdale and the Delta Blues. Though sadly, it's just enough time to leave you fearful that this may one day all disappear.
What I found intriguing is the chronological misplacement I held of the blues. I had this sense that the blues were from a pre-war, even pre-depression era. And while I'm sure some of that might be the case, in reality, the real history of the blues appears to be more inline with the 50's and 60's and racial integration. From a personal perspective, while I was graduating high school and marveling at big finned and chrome wheeled Detroit chariots… those metal beasts with roots born to the Jetsons, the Mississippi Delta Blues were being played out in the cotton fields and juke joints of the south.
In addition to that revelation, most people my age actually got their first taste of the blues from British bands like the early Beatles and Rolling Stones. Somehow, the blues had permeated the hard core music scenes around the world… so much so that when the Rolling Stones recorded Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain" and "Stop Breakin' Down," it was assumed the two songs were part of the public domain. Though it took several years, ultimately the Stones were ordered to make settlement with the administrator's of the Robert Johnson estate.
I was fortunate enough to meet some great people who were happy to talk about the history of the area, the music and the current state of affairs. There are folks working hard to preserve the history and keep the music alive. And while it's obvious the blues as moved on finding audiences all around the world, time as not been as kind to Clarksdale.
If you go in the Greyhound bus station (don't be fooled, it's the town's visitor information center… but it's not a working bus station), you'll meet Mack Ricker. He'll happily share with you the vision for tourism in Clarksdale. His vision is one that is of a viral and steady way of growth. Though there are others whose interest seem to take a looser approach… playing fast and loose with the "authenticity" of recreating the past. You see, the challenge here is in defining the authenticity. Mack calls it "content sensitive design." And he's very much in tune with the challenge. After all, we're talking about a romanticized vision of preserving decay. We're talking about replicating a period in history that is about impoverished people making do with whatever they had in order to come together and dance, sing, party, get a little high and all in all, try and forget their troubles. How to you preserve impoverished decay? How do you keep it original?
The poverty is still as deep as the muddy Mississippi itself. For the most part, it's hard to look at. It's hard to imagine how Clarksdale will attract people to come and learn it's history and continue to enjoy what it's all about… the music. I'm not sure how they'll keep the roots alive. One thing is clear… Clarksdale does not need to become another Dollywood. While there are differing opinions on "how" to preserve and present the past, I have no doubt the individual factions want what they feel is best for the area and it's inhabitants. It's obvious they don't all agree. I guess only time will tell.
For now, you can browse around town. You can see for yourself what's real… and what's pretending to be real.
You can go to Red's Blues Club. This is billed as the last real Juke Joint in operation. You can only buy beer. You can sit on a stool… or a box… or next to the bass player, or even on Red's chaise lounge. Just be sure and tighten up because it's going to get pretty crowded. The music? Well… the music can be hit or miss. I saw Big A one night… Big A knew how to let loose and for the most part was thrashing through some traditional blues melodies quite nicely. He'd hit a few rough patches here and there, but his energy and playing was the real deal. He was a lot of fun. The following night we saw, Lucidus Spiller. Ouch. Not good. Not good at all.
You'll inevitably end up at The Ground Zero Blues Cafe. Everybody does. This is the place where actor Morgan Freeman has become an investor. It's here where that question of balance comes into play. To my mind, if America caught on to what the inside of a Juke Joint looked like, there would be a Ground Zero Blues Cafe in every mall across the country. It just doesn't feel completely real. But…. it was ok… and could have been believable had the music been good. The music wasn't good. The All Night Blues Band was on the stage… I'd love to be generous and give them a passing grade… but honestly, they just didn't cut it. All flash, no substance… and the Saturday crowd of caucasian hipsters were none the wiser. After all, they'd filled up on their Jammin Burger and Friday's like menu offerings… and the booze was flowing.
The Delta Blues Museum appears to be the definitive source of the Blues history in Clarksdale. But it's not. Save your $7 and head over to the Rock and Blues Museum and spend an hour or so with Shelly Ricker. Well… ok, go through the Delta Blues Museum… there is certainly stuff to see. But you'll learn far more from Shelly and you'll be happy to fork over a measly $5 donation for the tour. Shelly is totally plugged-in to the area and you will feel much closer to the real reason you came.
The Greyhound Bus Station is another great stop. Shelly's better half, Mack, is curator and another wealth of insider knowledge plus Mack is happy to share. The bus station is the free Clarksdale Visitor Information Center… and Mack is the perfect host. Ask him to describe the event of Clarksdale's bus station becoming integrated.
For local nostalgia and artifacts you'll want to check out Cat Head. It's a great store and maintains a website where you can keep up with what's happening in Clarksdale.
Two local restaurants providing original fare are Ramon's and Rest Haven. At Ramon's, a place run by Thomas and Barbara Ely, I had the jumbo butterflied fried shrimp and it was excellent. At Rest Haven, owned and operated by Chafik and Louise Chamoun, I had the chili cheese burger recommended as the favorite meal of Jerry Lee Lewis (aka The Killer) when he's in town. We spent some time chatting with locals (Mack had warned us ahead of time) and as we went to leave we were informed out lunch had already been paid for.
Two other good places to eat, though not plugged into the history of the area, do a damn nice job feeding you and making you comfortable. Yazoo Pass (named after the Yazoo river and the street) is an independently owned restaurant, bakery, coffee shop and yogurt bar. This place is GREAT! Really done well and terrific coffee. For pizza and generally good bar fare, check out Stone Pony. Nice comfortable place and pretty good food.
While I didn't stay at the ShackUp Inn, I did visit. It's an ambitious project that is a hotel, restaurant/bar, gift shop and tourist attraction. Here you can stay in a genuine "shack" just like those found in the Mississippi Delta. Of course, they've been sparingly updated to include microwave, internet etc. but…. again, I felt there was a bit of a struggle keeping it genuine. I didn't see the accommodations, but the restaurant left me feeling that the decor had been brought in and much of it's authenticity and been given a passing grade of "that'll do," with respect to its authenticity. You may see it different.
I've left the Poor Monkey for last. Poor Monkey is reportedly the last Juke Joint left operating along the Blues Trail. There is music on Thursday nights… but it's not from a Juke Box… it's provided by DJ Doctor Tissue. Poor Monkey is the real deal. It's in Shelby, 30 miles south of Clarksdale off Highway 61. It's sits in the middle of a cotton field and you'll need to find someone to take you out there. You won't find it on your own. Unfortunately, we weren't there on Thursday… but we made the hike and I got to photograph it. It. Is. Amazing.
Regarding my critique of the music, I have a hunch the best music is reserved for the many festivals in Clarksdale. It appears there are quite a few. Perhaps the festivals tend to drain the talent in-between the venue dates. I hear Clarksdale's festivals are excellent and don't get ridiculously overrun. Also, when I asked Mack about what the revitalization committee was doing to support the well being of the music and younger players, he informed me that the Berklee College of Music, the world's largest college of contemporary music, collaborates with the Delta Blues Museum and the Robert Johnson Foundation to identify talented and deserving teens from the after-school music programs offered at each institution. So that's a good thing.
I'm going to try and make a few trips back to Clarksdale. One of the comments Shelly made continues to trouble me… or at least leave me intrigued. While she was showing me photos of local older blues players, she kept commenting, "he died back in January… we lost him in March… unfortunately, he died last fall" etc. Most of these bluesmen were in there 80's and 90's. Of course, I wanted to know about their offspring. What about the lineage, I asked. I don't know that I ever really got an answer…. but she did tell me, most the good blues players now are white. I'm hoping there are still some folks I need to photograph.

UFC 141 Results: Alistair Overeem vs. Junior Dos Santos Breakdown
By Brian Lopez-Benchimol ,
With his victory over Brock Lesnar at UFC 141, Alistair Overeem now earns his shot at the most prestigious title in the mixed martial arts world.
Holding the belt is Brazilian heavy hitter Junior dos Santos, who recently knocked out Cain Velasquez to claim the heavyweight crown.
With Overeem's impressive first-round drubbing of Lesnar, this fan-friendly striking battle pitting two of the division's most technically sound sluggers can now come to fruition.
Because of Overeem's recent exploits in the striking realm, many people forget that the Dutchman comes from a touted grappling background.
Among his 36 career victories as a professional mixed martial artist, 19 of those wins have come by submission. His go-to move, his patented guillotine choke, has earned victories over the likes of James Thompson, Igor Vovchanchyn and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort—Overeem being the only man to submit the Carlson Gracie black belt.
In 2005, Overeem became the ADCC Submission Wrestling European Trials champion when he submitted all three of his opponents via guillotine choke, further earning him praise for his underrated skill set.
Dos Santos is no slouch of his own, showing off some wrestling skills in his outing against Shane Carwin, a former top collegiate athlete who became the NCAA Division II champion in 1999.
The Brazilian was able to take down the hulking Carwin in the later stages of the bout, though he favored to pound away on his opponent despite holding a brown belt in jiu-jitsu under the Nogueira brothers.
Ultimately, it's Overeem's experience and submission skills that he's displayed throughout his career that gain him the advantage here.
You don't earn the K-1 World Grand Prix title without being a savvy striker.
Overeem has honed his skills over the years with the likes of the Golden Glory crew, which has produced the likes of Errol Zimmerman, Gokhan Saki and four-time GP champion Semmy Schilt.
In the kickboxing world, Overeem has dispatched the likes of the aforementioned Saki, Tyrone Spong, Ewerton Teixeira, Peter Aerts and Badr Hari—all of whom are considered to be some of the best strikers in the heavyweight class.
Overeem's 6'5" frame has allowed him to utilize his knees in devastating fashion. Overeem has an uncanny ability to close a long distance with those leaping knees to the face, though "The Demolition Man" showed another facet of his repertoire when he used a close-quartered attack against Lesnar.
Though many pegged that the former UFC champ would be best served muscling Overeem to the canvas, it was the Dutchman who initiated the clinch time and time again, wilting Lesnar with peppering knees to the body which eventually opened up the former WWE star to a body kick which wilted him to the canvas.
Dos Santos is a powerful and fast boxer but in the full gamut of skills, Overeem has more tools in his pocket.
After singing Overeem's praises, it's Dos Santos who should pull out the victory here.
"The Reem" has the best chance at defeating the Brazilian, thanks to his impressive array of skills, though Dos Santos has shown that his boxing acumen can finish just about everyone in the division.
In fact, both Carwin and the durable Roy Nelson are the only men to escape the heavy-handed blows of Dos Santos, who has stopped all other opposition in the UFC.
If "Cigano" can measure Overeem early with his long jabs and find his range, it could be a long night for the PRIDE veteran, who in the past has not been able to weather punishment well against savvy strikers.

Why do we want a middle linebacker who has to come off the field on third down ?
Kind of limiting when facing Green Bay when they run the no huddle offense.
I want the war pig too but I would like to see a stud middle linebacker first and keep Evans.
The wide receiver need is obvious so one of our current slugs will likely be retained , either Simpson or Jenkins if he restructures.
There is a serious need for depth at CB,safety, and LB as well.
So when the PUKERS get into 3rd and long you want to keep a MLB in there to defend their 4 and 5 WR packages?
A LB'r comes off regardless, who cares if its the Will, Sam or Mike? Besides, I saw Jaspers play broke down twice on the NFL network and both times they mentioned how well he has been playing this year in his role.
I tend to agree. When he was allowed to line up in his normal "Deep" look, instead of up "Mugging" the line on 3rd downs, he was more than sufficient to cover anything that might go down the seam and I love how he controls the defense on the field. Between him and Chad, I think we have something really good going. Add another OLB, move Chad back to his normal position (or not) and fix the middle and Jasper will be more than adequate as our Mike.
Lets not forget, he is still learning to and will only continue to get better next year.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
My two cents regarding Loadholt and Simpson. Loadholt needs to show he is worth keeping and, after some of his play and penalties this season, that is questionable. Personally I'd give him a years extension and show that he is worth a longer commitment. I don't want to see him do a McKinnie where he gets a long extension and then plays like crap after that.
Simpson - cut him full stop. It doesn't make a difference what scheme or position he's been playing in, that shouldn't affect his ability to catch a ball. The fact is his ball catching skills suck for a player asking the money he does. We have enough piss poor WRs on the team that cost less, so if that what we want then we have them aleady and cheaper !
I want to see us either address the #1 WR position in the off season either through FA or draft and I'm sure we can raise the standard of the remaining WR corps too.Time spent annoying a Packer fan is never time wasted...
But it does affect if he can catch a ball. Look, some guys are suited to run and catch a ball in heavy traffic (ala a Z and a Y) and some guys are only comfortable catching them in one on one situations (ala Moss at the X).
Trying to make them do it is crazy if they can't.
As to Load, your perception of his penalties might be a bit skewed. Did you see the stat line I posted? I for one like how he can pull from that side and still get out ahead of AD on the other. I like how he seals on his side which allows either the puller or AD to get to the outside on runs.
Is he great at pass protection, no, but as someone said, if he was he'd be a LT not a RT. His pass protection is more than adequate to warrant a long term contract. Besides, his work ethic and attitude doesn't lead us to believe that he is anything like Big Mac.
Edit: hello by the way. You skating this year?Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
thats the differencd though between the guys who think they are worth the money and those that are - they make the catches regardless and to me Simpson doesn't make them and isn't worth the moeny.
As for Load my perception may be skewed and I'm not always a great one for stats. My perception is that he has penalties at the wrong times and can screw some drives up - something that stats don't show up. He is, at times, a cross between Steussie and McKinnie but you're never sure which Loadholt is going to show up.
By the way - skating ??Time spent annoying a Packer fan is never time wasted...
Hey Marr,
I refused the plate of crow...
I liked Griffen at DE...which he is playing...hated him at LB, where they tried to play him.
Your memory is fuzzy my friend.

The Magical World of Fake Holidays
http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2012/12/14/... There are times when faking it might be better than the real thing. Photographer Reiner Riedlers series Fake Holidays, currently on view at Clerveaux-cité de limage, examines the human obsession with artifice, specifically when it comes to travel and entertainment. Riedlers book, published by Moser Verlag, is filled with page after page of brightly colored examples of bizarre human behavior, including a variety of theme parks, replicas of cities in other cities, live-action role playing, and sex clubs. The introduction gives a brief but fascinating overview of several predecessors to the theme park of today, reminding us that leisure, vacation, and recreation werent readily available until well into the 19th century....... |

It's a hell of a lot more clear that Bush didn't get Bin Laddin. But it's also clear he invaded the wrong country and killed at least 10s of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens. I don't recall him apologizing for that. |
He has to keep moving due to nonpayment of taxes. ATF would have been the first one to condemn President Blackenstein had the operation failed. Which is why it took balls to do it. |

MUQ, I'm curious. When you found out about the shooting, did your heart mourn for the victims, or were you elated that something bad happened to Americans? It seems to me that you have a one-tracked mind and are constantly consumed by your hatred for this country. That's not healthy. I guess that's what happens when you worship a vengeful and jealous god. You share the same qualities. |
The reason this forum thread is at 50k+ is your inability to be sweet and short. Concise and to the point. No wonder the problems of israel don't get fixed. If they all believe that you need to write a Torah or a Bible size book to tell a simple story, no one listens. Short and concise works best. |
How much shorter and sweeter would you prefer than "study harder"? |
Well, we all know where Volunteerist stands... |

Del Ray Beach, FL
Midtown Medical Building
The Midtown Delray Medical Building is a 30,000 square foot medical office building located at the intersection of Linton Boulevard and Old Germantown Road in Delray Beach, Florida. The building is located less than one half mile from the Delray Medical Center which is a 403 bed hospital owned and operated by Tenet Healthcare Corporation. Delray Medical Center has 603 physicians on staff and admitted in excess of 20,000 patients in 2005.
Stanmore contracted to purchased the land in 2007. In order to construct medical office the parcel was re-entitled from agricultural use to a special activities district. This process took one year and Stanmore closed on the 2.3 acre parcel in July 2008. During this time, Stanmore created approximately $1.0 million in value with only a deposit out of pocket.
Anderson Moore Construction serves as the general contractor for the project. Shell completion is projected for October 2009. The first tenants will take occupancy during the first quarter of 2010. Our current tenant list includes the following types of specialties: psychiatry, psychology and podiatry. Leases are currently being negotiated with several others. Visit www.midtownmedicalbuilding.com for more information.

screen protector . . particles under screen
Anyone else have issues with getting small hair type particles under their screen protectors? If I leave them there will they cause any damage to the screen from constantly rubbing over them?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 02-23-2009, 07:41 PM #2
yeah I have the same problem. I don't know if it will affect the screen so far it has not done any damage to mine.

2001 Volkswagen GTI Reviews
This car has been amazing to have. I feel like its super sexy and makes me stand out from my friends lame looking, no power car. However, its getting fairly old and I'm having lots of issues with it in the cold. Last summer I paid around 700 to fix the a/c and now my heat isn't getting very warm this winter. I had to fix vacuum leaks the only day and a broken glove box for 400 dollars. the oil changes are super high but I only change it every 4k. Recently its had a rough idle when I start it and sometime its rough when I idle even at a stop light, almost as if it wants to shut off. I'd be super pissed if I had to get rid of this car. I love how it looks and how fast it can go, but I'm unemployed right now and this car makes me want to cry lately.
@Dough in La... I dont see how youve had all those problems and u cant seem to fix them! I have a 2001 gti has 137,000 miles on it and its in GREAT condition.. maybe it was just taken care of really well i got when it had 122,000 on it... so far its just been regular maintenance, oil changes etc.. and the engine runs fine.. i recently need to replace the thermostat housing (common to leak on volkswagens) and the drive belt that was worn.. but thats it for major concerns.. I think as long as u take care of them they will run forever!
I love to say I drive a GTI VR6 but the reality is...it sucks. I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I've replaced the clutch twice. The serpentine belt broke. The headlights and blinkers are constantly not working. No repair shop has been able to figure it out. Agh! I hear the 2008's are much improved but the 2001 really sucks. (When it's working though....I love the big engine.)

So i need to update my receiver in my theater room after looking/googling and reading reviews I am down to 4 (unless someone adds to the list) these are the 4 Denon AVR-1912 Onkyo TX-NR709 Yamaha RX-V671 Marantz SR5006 I am no audiofile, more of a techie, but good sound is important to me. I will be using this in my Theatre room connected to a projector as the display device and ps3 as my blueray and then a couple other html devices. Thanks for any input Randy

Posted January 17 2012 - 03:49 AM
I was just making a purchase decision in the same class. My take is that Denon and Yamaha are nearly identical, with the one exception that the Denon does not provide composite and component out, which was a deal breaker for me. The Onkyo has more feature than all of them and is the best deal, but they have a reputation for running hot (plus, in my case my last 2 were Onkyos and I wanted to experiment elsewhere). I didn't review the Marantz 5006 due to the display size. (I decided I wanted a smaller form factor, so went with a Marantz 1602 and lived with less power for my small 13x15 room. The Yamaha was my 2nd choice.)

I come from an audiophile background and yamaha sounds so good to me w/ a clear and musical presentation with my audiophile speakers. I had a denon at on time and found the sound muffled with my musical speakers, but it mates well will super detailed speakers like klipsch. I read onkyo is punchy sounding and marantz is said to be musical and smooth, but I have no experience with them.

This is depressing. I have not seen ANY of them, and not even heard of three. Do I live in a "dead zone" - of what? Slim pickings at the multiplex in these here parts. I'm surprised that Avatar is still playing, though doubt I'll get to see it.
More later, maybe.

I just wait until movies are sold on DVD's because I don't like sitting in a dark crowded theatre for 2 or 3 hours......
The last time I went to a movie theatre was to see Rambo - guess that's because Rambo is my maiden name, and I wanted to see what it looked like in great big letters.
Keep your shovel handy; I just read about the snow forecast, and I expect you'll have some more snow pictures to post soon.

An Optimal Surveillance Measure Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the United States
Surveillance programs on farms and in the local environment provide an essential protection against the importation and spread of exotic diseases. Combined with border quarantine measures, these programs protect both consumers and producers from major health concerns and disease incursions that can potentially destroy local agricultural production and supporting industries, as well as generate substantial losses in trade and tourism. However, surveillance programs also impose costs in the form of expenditures on the surveillance program itself, along with the costs of disease management and eradication should an incursion occur. Taking border quarantine expenditures as given, this paper develops a stochastic optimal control model (with a jump-diffusion process) to determine the optimal level of surveillance activity against a disease incursion by minimizing the present value of the major direct and indirect costs of the disease, as well as the cost of the surveillance and disease management and eradication programs. The model is applied to the case of a potential entry and spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the United States. Results show that current surveillance expenditures are far less than optimal.Download Info

Top quality product only obtained through years of practice.
excellent just the brush I've been looking for.
Excellent service prompt and as described and top quality products
Very Good
I bought my last Kent brush in 1958 & it served me exreemly well. This modern replacement looks cheap and nasty. It has no domed rubber base for the bristles & the handle is plastic of all things not wood. For the money I paid I am very very disappointed

Enjoy walking and hiking moderate to strenous hikes. Willing to work on maintenance of trail, I live near Rock Creek and walk hike that every week. Looking for new places to hike and get more proficient at it.
A freind mentioned that they met some great people and has done some great hikes so I am looking for the same.
I am looking to learn how to hike longer and perhaps move to backpacking potentially. Looking for fun and out going people that enjoy nature.

Byzantine Art (Oxford History of Art)by Robin Cormack
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Mostly religious in function, but preserving the classicism of Greco-Roman art, Byzantine buildings and art objects communicate the purity and certainties of the public face of early Christian art. Focusing on the art of Constantinople between 330 and 1453, this book probes the underlying motives and attitudes of the society which produced such rich and delicate art forms. It examines the stages this art went through as the city progressed from being the Christian center of the Eastern Roman Empire, to its crisis during attack from the new religion of Islam, to its revived medieval splendor and then, after the Latin capture of 1204 and the Byzantine reoccupation after 1261, to its arrival at a period of cultural reconciliation with East and West.
Synopsis:This text focuses on the art of Constantinople from 330 to 1453 and the stages this went through in reaction to historical circumstances. The book shows how changes in society led to changes in art by focusing on particular cases and objects.
About the AuthorRobin Cormack is Professor in the History of Art in the University of London, and Deputy Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art. Previous books are Writing in Gold and Painting the Soul (Runciman Award 1998).

His ability as a performer to connect with listeners keeps him busy for 50-200 shows a year.
Ted's 2013 album Lucky No. 7 is his latest and greatest and will be his DEBUT RECORD released on Vinyl. Lucky No. 7 was fan funded by fans all over the world via pledge music and a percentage of ALL album sales will go to the American Cancer Society so that Ted's music and the Ted Wulfers Nation (Wulfpack) can help fight cancer!

Ted wrote and produced all of the songs on Lucky No 7 as well as playing most of the guitars as well as keyboards, bass, sitar, banjo, ukulele and percussion. Special guests include Kenny Aronoff (John Melancamp/John Fogerty), Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters/Wallflowers), Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams/Mark Knopfler/John Mayer), John Payne (ASIA/Rock Vault), Carl Byron (Anne McCue/Michelle Shocked), Mike Fratantuno (Black Eyed Peas/Gossip Girl), Gary Morse (Brooks & Dunn/Dierks Bentley), Dave Raven (Mike Ness/Keith Richards), Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings), Taras Prodaniuk (Merle Haggard/Richard Thompson), Claire Holley, LP, Nicole Gordon, Haroula Rose, Gia Ciambotti (Bruce Springsteen), all four members of Stonehoney and many more!!!

WHAT? Something fishy. Nowadays, not many dishes require you to keep live animals in your bathtub, but that's how most traditional recipes for this Jewish delicacy begin. The live animal was usually a carp, and you kept it flapping in the tub to ensure freshness. Once the fish was killed and gutted, you removed the flesh, chopped and seasoned it, and stuffed it back into the skin to poach. (Gefilte is Yiddish for "stuffed.") Served chilled with a little horseradish, gefilte fish was thus an appropriate dish for the Sabbath, when heating food is proscribed by Jewish law. These days, most cooks who make gefilte fish purchase already ground carp, pike, whitefish, or a combination, season it, and shape it into balls. There are two principal styles, peppery and sweet, which are said to roughly correspond to different regions of eastern European heritage—Polish Jews make their gefilte fish with extra sugar; Russian Jews use more ground pepper.

Expedia.com Complaint - Expedia.com Has Nightmarishly Horrible Customer Service
Review by
Comments (3)
Expedia has the worst customer service imaginable -- in fact, I would never have imagined that customer service could be so bad before dealing with Expedia.
In short, dealing with Expedia is a TOTAL NIGHTMARE!!!!
Here's what I experienced when trying to book a Legoland "Expedia Extras" deal on July 13, 2009. The following offer came up when I was booking a San Diego hotel reservation:
"Buy Adult 2-day LEGOLAND/SEA LIFE Park Hopper Ticket, get Child 2-day Hopper ticket FREE. This offer is effective for admission on the Two Day Hopper ticket from 7/1/09 - 9/30/09, with a discount on additional child tickets when you book by 7/31/09. Must purchase LEGOLAND® + SEA LIFE˙ Park 2-Day Combo Ticket on the Customize Your Trip page to qualify."
I completed my hotel reservation, but I was never taken to the "Customize Your Trip" page to get the Legoland offer. So I called Expedia's customer service number.
This was the beginning of a total of six hours of phone calls to Expedia, by myself and by management and staff of the hotel I booked through Expedia, who also tried to help.
The main problem is that the customer service phone staff seem to be making up information as they go along. Over the course of these multiple phone calls, I received a plethora of different answers as to why I could not access this offer, most of which contradicted each other or the text of the offer above. Here is a summary of the explanations I received over the course of these numerous phone calls:
• "This offer has expired." (Me: "but it says it doesn't expire until July 31." Agent: "We haven't updated our web page yet.")
• "The hotel has decided to discontinue this offer."
• "Legoland has decided to discontinue this offer."
• "I don't see any such offer anywhere on our site." (Two different agents told me this.)
• "You have to cancel your hotel reservation and re-book it again for a later date to be eligible for this offer."
• "You have to book this offer at the same time you make your hotel reservation – it cannot be booked separately."
• "You can get this offer by visiting the 'Activities' tab, it does not have to be booked in conjunction with a hotel."
• "You have to visit Legoland on the same date as your hotel check-in date."
• "This offer is only available with a two-day advance purchase."
• "This offer is only available with a five-day advance purchase."
• "There is no reason why you should not be eligible for this offer, and I will transfer you to customer service." (I was then disconnected after a 20-minute hold.)
• "You are not eligible for this offer because it only applies to children ages two and under." (Two different agents told me this, even though the page says ages 0-12.)
The only reason I was finally able to get the promised offer was through the combined efforts of the hotel management and the Legoland Guest Services office – because both knew that Expedia's incompetence might reflect poorly on them. Ironically, the only party that never came through was Expedia – and it was their offer that created this problem in the first place.

It was a free trip they couldn't do it. What did this cost you? Nothing!
Posted by godofwar on 2009-07-18:
was the booking for the same day? because with expedia, same-day booking will not have you through the activities or "customize your trip" page. if it was not the same day, you definitely have skipped the "customize your trip" page; and there is no way for you to go back and add that ticket to the itinerary. the agent who said it should have been booked together with the hotel was right. the offer is not available anymore after completing the booking for the hotel, if you skipped it. don't blame somebody for something that may be your own mistake.

and by the way, i did see that "customize your trip page" when i went through the booking process. it did say that the child who gets free tickets should be 12 years old and below. and then again, you should have picked it along the way as there is no way to add it later. i do agree with you that some of their agents can be a bit dumb. i verified that some promotional offers can just pop up on the website without the agents, even supervisors, being informed or educated about it. i used to hate expedia myself, but after i have learned to be in sync with how their system worked, i have had no problems since then.

Baltimore, Maryland metal masters MISERY INDEX have issued the following update:
"Sorry to everyone in Sweden, our tour vehicle broke down in Denmark last night and we are here waiting for repairs, so we unfortunately can not make it over to [the show in Linköping] Sweden tonight [Sunday, January 11], along with the other bands on tour [HATE ETERNAL, AEON and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY]. We hope to make it back later this year, and of course next month we will be doing the Close-Up magazine cruise out of Stockholm, so hope to make it up then at least." HardTimes.ca conducted an interview with MISERY INDEX's Sparky Voyles (guitar) and Jason Netherton (bass, vocals) on December 17, 2008 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Watch the 10-minute chat below. MISERY INDEX recently completed a tour of the Midwestern U.S. and Canada alongside THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and SOILENT GREEN. "Traitors", the new album from MISERY INDEX, was released on September 30 in North America via Relapse Records. The follow-up to "Discordia" was recorded in May at Godcity Studios in in Salem, Massachusetts.MISERY INDEX Unable To Make Linköping Concert
