Cobra® HH Roadtrip Handheld CB Radio
- Magnet-mount mobile antenna
- 10-channel weather reception
- 40 channels with 4-watt power output
- Range: Up to 4 milies
- DC power cord
Rated 2 out of 5 by 3
Rated 4 out of 5 by WeekendHauler Works for Me
I travel long distance on weekend trips and vacations , and I use CB radios when I need info about the road ahead or info on the general area. I recently purchased a new truck but did not want to mount a radio to the dash. So I decided after some research on other sites that I would purchase the Roadtrip. I got it a few weeks ago and it works just as good as some mobile radios that I had previously . I had no problems communicating with others around me and receiving others ahead of me. Using the external antenna improves range but the wires become a little bit of a pain, I used the twist ties and managed the wires by bundling them together and it worked out just fine. Don't buy this expecting to talk 20 miles away ,if thats the case then this is not the radio for you. It works well for me , I feel it was a good buy. I'm satisfied.

after i purchased a cobra 38wxst cb hand held

300 yards at the most. it is bad design, do not buy

Rated 1 out of 5 Worst Purchase EVER!
I have had this CB Radio for 11 months.
I cant even pick up the weather. I sent it
back to Cobra, paid the shiping, they sent it back, said could not find any problems.
Turns out this raido is only good for 200-300 yards. I wasted my money! Yours truly, Joe

I am writing to ask friends, neighbors and Fourth Ward constituents to support Tracy Greever-Rice in her bid to become our Fourth Ward City Council representative. Tracy is a smart, caring and tough individual who is one of the brightest and most well-spoken people engaged in city affairs. She has served on the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Environment and Energy Commission, and I currently have the honor of serving with Tracy on the Columbia Vision Commission. Tracy has gained insight and knowledge of our city government from these volunteer experiences and from being the associate director of the Office of Social and Economic Data Analysis at MU since 1999. Tracy will be a great neighborhood representative who is also qualified to help lead Columbia in promoting sustainable economic development.

A 16-month-old toddler has died after being run over in her family driveway this morning.
West Australian homes are more likely to be broken into than properties in any other state, with 4472 burglaries for every 100,000 homes.
A truck was stolen and pursued by police before side-swiping a police car and crashing into a tree, police allege.
Malcolm Turnbull calls for the support of West Australians, saying changes depend on their votes.

Foscarini Fly-Fly Pendant in White
We are sorry, we have no reviews to display
Write the first reviewThe Foscarini keynote is research, into forms and materials, as well as ideas. Established in 1981 in Venice, Foscarini started out by exploring the opportunities offered by Murano glass. The management assures brand identity and coherence by careful conservation of its Murano heritage, whilst being ever ready to consider new objectives and to exercise its rare capacity for talent scouting.
The company works with both established designers who've created new trends and with younger, emerging exponents of alternative styles and approaches. This makes for a highly original catalogue and one of the most varied in the sector. Over the years, the range of materials used has expanded to include satin-finished glass, polyethylene, wood and aluminium, as well as patented materials such as an exclusive textured glass-tissue and carbone fibre composite.

Crazy or not?
I have a slightly custom paintjob on my truck. It is dated and needs a few places touched up, i.e. rust spots. I am thinking of sanding them down to bare metal and then priming them then putting a red primer and then a top coat, then wet sanding down the top coat until the red shows through. Kind of a modified patina paint job only on those spots and the roof.

Custom Paint, interior (Wood grain and leather seats) windows so dark you need a flash light to see me, stock rims, headers, dual exhaust.

More Money Needed for Ambulance Service
9:56 am
Mon July 30, 2012
Hancock County to Ask for Tax Hike
The Hancock County Board will put a referendum before voters in November to raise the ambulance service property tax rate.
Voters will decide whether to leave the rate at 10 cents per $100 assessed valuation or to increase it to 25 cents.
Board Chairman David Walker says the county needs more than the current $655,000 it pays to support the district
He says, "The way costs of providing the personnel and the machinery to provide a worthwhile ambulance service (are going) we're going to need more funding, because the funding we have is close to inadequate."
The service has added two heart monitors that cost $32,000 each and power-lift stretchers that cost $13,000 each.
The board has not decided how it would spend the revenue, if voters approve the measure.
The district has about $750,000 in reserves.
Nauvoo and LaHarpe provide their own ambulance service and would not be subject to the increase.

LiveMap offers augmented-reality helmet for motorcyclists
Imagine a souped-up Google Glass built into a motorcycle or bicycle helmet that superimposes information and directions in front of your eyes as you speed down a highway or move through a congested downtown area.
LiveMap, a startup based in Moscow, is developing a motorcycle helmet with a head-mounted display, built-in navigation, and Siri-like voice recognition. The helmet will have a translucent, color display that's projected on the visor in the center of the field of vision, and a custom user interface, English language-only at launch, based on Android.

- How to Read a Study Record
The Systemic Necrotizing Vasculitides (SNV) encompass a group of rare diseases which include Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG), Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS), Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)and Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Common histological findings are inflammation with fibrinoid necrosis of the small vessels and sporadic or absent immune-deposits. The gold standard therapy for SNV is currently represented by the association of Cyclophosphamide and Prednisone. The limits of this approach are the high frequency of recurrent disease and an increased incidence of malignancy and infections. The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of Methotrexate vs Cyclophosphamide for Remission Maintenance in SNV.

text: 6 Bright Ideas for Bioluminescence Tech Living light from fireflies, bacteria, and other luminescent creatures could change the way we illuminate our cities, fight cancer, and find toxins in our water. By Adam Hadhazy Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 7 Next Return to Gallery BioLume Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Illuminated Candy Candies can tickle our taste buds with citrusy sourness or cinnamon spiciness. But BioLume wants to make them do something new: light up. The North Carolinabased company worked for years on a way to add bioluminescent ingredients to lollipops, chewing gum, cake frosting, and more. BioLume's glowing enzymes of choice, now cloned in the lab, originally came from marine creatures such as sea pansies and Gaussia, BioLume president and CEO Terry Willard says. The addition of oxygen and an aqueous solution (read: your saliva) to foods containing the bioluminescent proteins starts a photon-releasing reaction. Depending upon the concentration, Willard says, the ensuing light show can last anywhere from several seconds between licks to minutes. The company is seeking FDA approval for its products in the United States, though China might be where luminescent sweets hit store shelves first. Willard says BioLume is beginning with light-up lollipops and other hard candy, but working on a method to suspend tiny packets of the bioluminescent additive in softer, flowing treats and liquids. "You can add it to just about anything, like whipped cream, ice cream and alcoholic beverages," Willard says. For instance: One of the working concepts is a glowing beer, nicknamed Bud Lights.

Man has the global opposable thumb and the ability to write a recorded history. What has man done with these to unique characteristics? He sits on the thumb rendering it useless while refusing to learn from the history he has written!
After mastering the art of ignoring the history he recorded, he becomes a politician so that the citizens reelect him even after seeing how boneheaded he really is!
I have to wonder that if man did lose his tail eons ago, it must have pulled a part of the brain out in the process.

This is an adaptation of Hannah Kaminsky's Paradise Plum Ice Cream recipe. This ice cream is vegan too, with the addition of tapioca syrup and alcohol to reduce iciness as much as possible. I actually made this ice cream with pluots, but the name "Tropical Pluot" (or "Paradise Pluot") doesn't quite carry the same charm, does it?

February 3, 2009 ......... Florida Story by Jean Brigham For many divers 2009 may be a year for the "backyard dive vacation." Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities to get wet without saving up for a huge dive trip. Quarries, lakes, rivers and fjords; local dives sites boast some of the most unique photo ops if you take your time and look around a while. When the snow is falling in Indiana, I like to sneak away for a weekend in sunny Florida. Many of the freshwater springs produce water as clear as anything you can find in the Caribbean. Sites like Ginnie Springs in High Springs, FL are great for training, exploration or trying out the new gear you got for Christmas. Divers have a whole new world of creativity at their fingertips. New Digital SLR cameras like the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D Mark II are capable of capturing full HD video in addition to high resolution digital still images. The ability to shoot video with such a large variety of lenses is great for the distinct needs of an underwater photographer. With the flash diffuser removed a Substrobe DS160's built-in modeling light can be used to provide a continuous light source when using the cameras' video modes. Alternately the Pro-V8 LED Video Lite provides a warm 45° angle of coverage and attaches without tools using the #9575.4 stem mount. For a dedicated HD video system the JVC HD10 package with optional WP80 Wide Angle Port is a pleasure to use. The WP80 Port is wide and razor sharp, great for capturing over-unders and diver interactions with the manatee in Crystal River. New UR/Pro color correcting filters are now available to fit the WP80 for improved image quality in both tropical and green water settings. Whether shooting a dSLR or a video camera, keep in mind that you may need two light sources to achieve sufficient coverage for a wide angle lens. For the ultimate in video lighting consider an upgrade to the perfectly even, industry renowned 100° beam of the Pro Video Lite 3. Six months ago I was still reluctant to leave my digital SLR at home. But the Canon G10 is quickly changing my ways. It's so easy to get good, consistent results. It's so liberating to just turn it on, point, shoot, and be happy. And I haven't even mentioned the extra room in my luggage! Now with the new WD-4 Wide Angle Dome you can achieve a nicely wide, edge-to-edge sharp 28mm angle of coverage. Without sacrificing zoom or macro capabilities. And without spending a fortune. Free at last. So you might not be planning Micronesia or your next Arctic expedition this year. Instead try looking a little closer to home. There are adventures all around; new things to discover at every site on every dive. For example, our good friend and photographer Dave Harasti sent us this photo taken in his backyard of Nelson Bay, Australia. Click on the image to see a fascinating enlarged view of this tiny anglerfish with babies! Click Here to see more phenomenal images by Dave Harasti. Look for more exciting new product developments all year long. And if you're in Chicago, IL February 20-22, stop by Our World Underwater Booth #111-113 to say hello and check out all of the latest toys! | ||

To root or not
I'm about at that point with my S3. I've always had HTC devices up until this one. I've always rooted and messed around with different roms. I pulled up the rooting forum and there's a couple of different ways of rooting. I am feeling the itch for CM10 or just something new. But I assume Verizon will push out the JB update within a month or two. Should I wait and root from there? Or just do it now. I don't actually mind my S3 stock which is suprising. And what way is the preferred way to root? Thanks, I'm a Samsung noob.
Re: To root or not
If you really want to root just to help the itch go for it its super easy and also easy to get back to stock. And if jelly bean is your main thing on waiting there some nice jb Roms that work awesome. As always with rooting and roming read read read lol and as always have fun.

Re: To root or not
Unlock the bootloader, root it, put CWM on it and make a nandroid backup of your current stock ROM. Then you can flash whatever you want when you want. If you want to stick to the forthcoming stock JB release, just flash the rooted package that someone will inevitably assemble. You can try out any of the CM10 flavors or other stock-based ROMs in the meantime, too.
If you are inclined to spend a lot of money and want a pretty trophy with which to pass the next few years of your life that talks to you in a condescending voice, can't navigate to save its life, expects full control over all you do, demands $13 for a $3 purchase, allegedly has a single recessed button, needs an expensive computer and a credit card to do anything, hates your music and has purses designed just for it...New to LG's premium Android phone?

Re: To root or not
Try out a ROM and have fun. I just put a TW JB ROM on mine and love it! Was a bit nervous rooting but the forums here are great for instructions and it was super easy. Sounds like you've got experience with the whole process though.
I actually like the stock ROM on the S3 but there were a couple little things that bugged me. The CleanROM I'm using now addressed just about all those little quirks that I could've lived with but now don't have to! And, I've got JB on there as well. - 11-18-2012, 11:55 PM #5

Re: To root or not
I was on the fence for a while simply because the phone runs so darn good stock. Decided to give it a go with the JB leak... It was a world of difference. The few hang ups I had on stock such as launcher redraws, random lag, flickers were all gone. There is no stuttering or lag anywhere except with the Samsung keyboard it seems.

While we were all getting our Pride on Sunday, in Hollywood, the gays were dressed up (sans Speedos) to attend the creative arts Emmy Awards ceremony — the precursor to next Sunday's primetime ceremony. And if these awards (for design, casting, guest actors and such) are any indication, the gays have some mo(mentum) headed into the big game.
Among the big winners were Project Runway's Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn (co-winners for best reality show host) and Behind the Candelabra, the HBO film about Liberace, which won a staggering eight awards (casting, costumes, art direction, hairstyling, editing, sound mixing, prosthetic makeup and non-prosthetic makeup). It's still up for six more next week, including two for best actor, best miniseries/movie and best director.
Other gay interest winners: Gay actor Dan Buchatinsky, who won best best actor in a drama for Scandal; American Horror Story: Asylum (for sound editing); Lily Tomlin's narration of An Apology to Elephants (for best voice-over performance); and "IF I Had Time," Neil Patrick Harris' closing song at the 2012 Tony Awards (for best song).

When a player has a breakout home run season at the plate, everyone is interested in analyzing whether the new found power can be sustained into the following season. Likewise, as a player ages, if home run totals drop for a season we sometimes wonder whether his power is truly diminishing or whether to expect a one year valley.
Some metrics that are available that I have both seen used by others and used myself in an effort to form a logical analysis of the potential power of a player include average home run distance as well as average home run plus fly ball distance. It would make sense to me that a player that hits the ball farther, on average, would possess more power and hence could be expected to produce more offensive "power" in the near future. I have never actually seen a study that has tried to investigate just how useful these logical indicators are in actually describing or predicting power.
This study will look at three potential predictors for two outcomes that describe power: HR and ISO. The three predictors are the two mentioned above as well as maximum home run distance. Given that the data involved for this study had to be merged from three sources, I have only examined 2011 and 2012 in this study.
Descriptive Capability
First, I ran linear regressions for all six combinations where all data was from the same season. This will show how well (or not so well) these potential indicators of power describe players' HR totals and Isolated Power in a given season.
I used all players that hit at least one home run in a given season for the sample set. The R-squared values were as follows:
HR Avg Distance | 0.05 | 0.06 |
HR Max Distance | 0.39 | 0.20 |
HR+FB Avg Distance | 0.09 | 0.20 |
HR Avg Distance | 0.05 | 0.06 |
HR Max Distance | 0.43 | 0.20 |
HR+FB Avg Distance | 0.09 | 0.32 |
The results are fairly consistent between the two seasons.
Average home run distance appears to be a poor indicator for actual home run totals as well as Isolated Power.
Average home run plus fly ball distance is also poor in describing variance in HR totals, but does appear to account for more of the variance in ISO. Logically I can imagine that on average longer fly balls that stay in the park are going to lead to more extra base hits than shorter fly balls.
Interestingly, the maximum home run distance achieved by players in a given season describes by far the most of the variance in the home run totals players amass in that same season. This is really a "raw power" metric, showing how far a batter can hit the ball when everything goes right.
Predictive Capability
With the data for two seasons in hand, I also tried running linear regressions for all six combinations but this time with the three predictor data sets from 2011 and the HR and ISO values from 2012. This is likely what we are most interested in knowing in attempting to use any of these metrics to determine what power levels we may be able to expect in the coming season.
I used all players that hit at least one home run in a given season for the sample set. The R-squared values were as follows:
HR Avg Distance | 0.09 | 0.04 |
HR Max Distance | 0.27 | 0.13 |
HR+FB Avg Distance | 0.11 | 0.07 |
As predictors, none of these are particularly good. As points of reference, running a linear regression of 2011 HR totals and 2012 HR totals, the R-squared value was 0.35. From other research by Bill Petti we know in general ISO is very repeatable, with a year-over-year R-squared value of 0.72 between 2002-2009.
I tried a multiple regression of all three predictors to see if that improved the correlation with home runs. It was only slightly better than using just maximum home run distance, with an R-squared of 0.28. Both average and max home run distances were statistically significant at the 95% confidence interval in this experiment.
A multiple regression with ISO gave an R-squared of 0.16, with all three factors statistically significant at the 95% confidence interval. That said, the combination still accounts for a relatively small amount of the variance in ISO.
So it seems the single metric out of the three studied that appears to be somewhat worthwhile is maximum home run distance as a predictive factor for home runs. This could perhaps be looked at in conjunction with prior year HR totals in trying to determine expectations for HR totals in the following season.
To be honest this finding is surprising to me, in that average distances do not appear to be very useful gauges of power.
Interesting Cases from 2012 Heading into 2013
Here is a list of players from 2012 who had the highest maximum home run distances of all hitters that hit less than 25 home runs:
Name | HR | ISO | HR Max Distance |
Cameron Maybin | 8 | .107 | 485 |
Nelson Cruz | 24 | .200 | 484 |
Travis Hafner | 12 | .210 | 481 |
Justin Maxwell | 18 | .232 | 471 |
Michael Morse | 18 | .180 | 465 |
David Freese | 20 | .174 | 464 |
Mike Moustakas | 20 | .171 | 464 |
Yoenis Cespedes | 23 | .214 | 462 |
Tyler Moore | 10 | .250 | 462 |
Rickie Weeks | 21 | .170 | 462 |
Andrew Brown | 5 | .196 | 460 |
Brett Lawrie | 11 | .132 | 459 |
It is not surprising to see guys that we think of as having significant power but missed part of the season due to injury make this list. Hafner, Morse and Cespedes are among those with this profile. Maybin's home park is deadly for home runs, although more so for left-handed hitters. Moustakas and Lawrie are young AL third basemen with high expectations from their fan bases. It will be interesting to watch how the Nationals handle Moore after the recent acquisition of Denard Span gives then another outfielder.
On the other end of the spectrum, here are players from 2012 who had the lowest maximum home run distances of all hitters that hit at least 10 home runs:
Name | HR | ISO | HR Max Distance |
Norichika Aoki | 10 | .144 | 374 |
Coco Crisp | 11 | .158 | 402 |
John Mayberry Jr. | 14 | .150 | 405 |
Zack Cozart | 15 | .153 | 409 |
Alberto Callaspo | 10 | .109 | 411 |
Nick Markakis | 13 | .174 | 412 |
Shelley Duncan | 11 | .185 | 413 |
Omar Infante | 12 | .144 | 413 |
Dexter Fowler | 13 | .174 | 416 |
Desmond Jennings | 13 | .143 | 417 |
Will Middlebrooks | 14 | .221 | 417 |
Martin Prado | 10 | .136 | 417 |
Aoki barely made double-digits in the home run column in 2012, helped by one inside-the-park job. Markakis is an interesting name on the list, although he did miss time and likely was playing with a sore hand for another stretch of the season. Red Sox Nation has high hopes for their young third baseman as well, so for their sake hopefully an appearance on this list does not indicate that a power regression is in store from Middlebrooks.
What do you think? Do these results surprise you in any way? Would you still look to make use of any of these three metrics in analysis looking at a player's potential power production going forward?

VA Health Care:
Methodology for Estimating and Process for Tracking Savings Need Improvement
GAO-12-305: Published: Feb 27, 2012. Publicly Released: Feb 27, 2012.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs

What GAO Found
GAO found that VAs estimated savings from two of its six operational improvements lacked analytic support and estimated savings from another were flawed. Without a sound methodology for estimating these savings, VA runs the risk of not achieving them. Furthermore, due in part to flaws GAO identified with another operational improvementreducing acquisition costsVA decided to revise it. Because this effort was still in progress, GAO could not evaluate VAs estimated savings and process for tracking actual savings from this operational improvement. In addition, GAO found that VA lacks a process for tracking actual savings for one operational improvement and its processes may overstate results for two others. Without an accurate process for tracking these savings, VA will be unable to determine whether it has realized the estimated savings reflected in the Presidents budget request for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Presidents budget request for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 included a total of $2.5 billion dollars in savings from six VA-wide operational improvements. If VAs estimated savings for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 do not come to fruition and VA receives appropriations in the amount requested by the President, VA may have to make difficult trade-offs to provide health care services with the resources provided.
GAO assessed (1) the basis for VAs estimated savings from each improvement and (2) VAs process for tracking its actual savings from each improvement. GAO obtained documentation that described the methodology VA used to develop its savings estimates and the process it used to track those savings. By analyzing the documentation and interviewing VA officials, GAO assessed whether VAs savings estimates were reasonable and whether VAs process for tracking savings would allow it to accurately determine actual savings.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that VA develop (1) a sound methodology for estimating savings from new operational improvements and (2) a detailed process for tracking actual savings resulting from those improvements for which GAO identified concerns. VA concurred with GAOs findings and recommendations on all but two initiatives within the real property improvement, stating that the savings from these initiatives were not overstated. GAO believes its findings and recommendations remain valid.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: In order to better inform future budget requests, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should develop a sound methodology for estimating savings from new operational improvements. This methodology should include: (1) an explanation of how savings from each operational improvement will be achieved; (2) an explanation for the basis of any assumptions included in the savings estimates; and (3) an implementation plan that includes a realistic timeline for implementation, to help ensure that savings can be achieved within the targeted time frame.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Veterans Affairs should develop a detailed process for tracking VA's actual savings resulting from those operational improvements for which we identified concerns. This process should provide detailed written guidance for those responsible for tracking the savings, which outlines the methodology for calculating savings.

Hyaluronic Acid is the most water-loving molecule known to man!
Episilk contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA) or hyaluronan, an important element of skin tissue that allows the retention of skin moisture and functions as a lubricant between the connective tissues of the skin.
As we age, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, leaving the skin dry and wrinkled. Hyaluronic acid is the most water-loving molecule known to man. In fact, 1 small gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water.
When applied to the skin hyaluronic acid found in Episilk, can penetrate the skin surface and replenish levels of hyaluronic acid therefore leaving the skin soft, supple and silky smooth.
Facial cream with pure hyaluronic acid makes your skin softer, reduces wrinkles and hydrates dry skin.

Rising Stars
Much of Rebecca Schwartz's cutting-edge nanotechnology research at Lockheed Martin is classified, but her work is generally geared toward developing technical solutions to reduce the physical burden of troops in combat. It is part of a larger vision she holds of increasing situational awareness for warfighters while making their equipment smaller, lighter and less power-hungry.
She manages the funding of her research and development projects and has provisional patents for solutions based on her ideas. In short order, Schwartz took her division's first nanotechnology pursuit from concept to a potential real-world application. As she works to support the Defense Department, she is also helping grow nanotechnology as a business at Lockheed Martin.
Read about all of the winners
"Not only are we looking to advance technology solutions to reduce the burden for warfighters — one of the biggest problems for them today — but we're looking at strategies…and interfacing with customers to get feedback and really understand what their challenges are," Schwartz said. "I'm proud seeing a lot of innovations we're coming up with that are truly things that will help our customers and keep them safe. We're all about the soldiers, and we're there to provide technology they need to do their missions."
Schwartz has been at Lockheed Martin for two years, and the projects she leads often have turnaround times about that long, though some extend for five and even 10 years.
So although she can't talk about it in detail now, American warfighters might well display and use some of her finest work in the near future.

By Liquid Sin,
I love the short yellow school bus! Riding the bus is fun! I ride the bus to school every day, but I also ride the bus to other places, too. When I go on trips with Miss Lang and everybody in the special-needs class, we all get on the bus and go to the zoo or the planetarium. One time, we ate pizza at Pizza Hut, and we took the bus then, too. And you know what? Someday, I'm going to drive the bus myself! Sometimes, when I am on the bus, I hold my Dallas Cowboys hat in my hands and turn it and pretend that I am driving the bus. Sometimes, even when I am not on the bus, I also think about driving the bus, too. Even when I am sleeping, sometimes I have a dream that I'm driving the bus, and when I wake up, I am sad that I woke up and am not driving the bus anymore. Right now, I am only 13. But when I get older, I am going to be a grown-up and get a job as the bus driver. But I have to be a grown-up first. When you're a grown-up, you get a driver license with your picture on it. My older brother Mark said I don't need to worry about getting a driver license, because he will take me anywhere I want. But that is silly! I am going to get my own driver license and drive the bus! Mark reminded me what happened with my bicycle last year and said that maybe driving the bus isn't a good idea. But I know I can do it! I can drive the bus! I just need to work extra, extra, extra, extra hard! I'm going to always pay attention in my Skills For Living class. And I'm going to do all the exercises with Mr. Festge when he comes in for Motor-Coordination Hour. Even when I want to go look out the window at the lawn-mower man instead of sitting at my desk and doing my clock worksheet, I won't. I'll sit in my seat and be extra, extra, extra, extra good. Daryl W. was in our class last year, but he graduated at the end of the year because he was 18. He got to wear a graduation dress and walk up on the stage, and Mr. Culver gave him a book, and everybody in the whole place cheered. Now Daryl W. works at the grocery store, and he gets to use a sprayer and spray off the vegetables so they stay green. Just like Daryl W., I'm going to get a job when I'm older. Only my job is going to be being the bus driver! Right now, our bus driver is Mr. Timmons. And he gets paid for driving the bus! But it's so fun driving the bus, I would do it for free! Someday, it will be me being nice to all the kids on the bus and calling them "Mr." and "Mrs." to be funny. It will be me who helps everyone get their boots on and yells, "Look at the chickens!" when we drive past the ostrich farm. Every day on the bus, I am watching carefully so that when it is my job to drive the bus, I will remember which tree to turn at. When I am the bus driver, I'll get t! To wear a blue jacket that says "Timmy" on it, just like the one Mr. Timmons wears. I'll keep it very clean and never put it on the floor of the bus where it can get dirty. I'll never leave a sandwich in the pocket, either, unless I plan to eat it that same day. I'll get to go and pick up all of my friends on the bus. Only, we won't just go where it says on the schedule. We'll get to go wherever we want, because I will be driving! If we see a dog on the side of the road, somebody will say, "Pull over!" and I will pull over, and we will all get out and pet the dog or even take him for a ride if he wants to go. I would go fast around the corners because it makes everybody laugh when their knapsacks fall on the floor. And when we go over the railroad tracks, I won't be a slow poke and stop even though there is no train coming. On Monday, I will drive to Hawaii, and on Tuesday, I will drive to the Super Bowl. And on all the other days, I will drive other places, too! At the end of the day, I will drive the bus back to the place where they keep all the buses at night, the place I saw when I fell asleep in the back of the bus that time. And I would get to look at all the buses in a row! I told my teacher Mr. Reese that I want to be a bus driver. He said maybe instead I should think about working at the Walgreens or feeding animals at the pet store. I said, 'No! I want to drive the bus!' He said that maybe I should get a job cleaning the buses, which he said is a very important job because if no one cleans the buses, no one will want to ride on them. What a silly-billy! Doesn't he know what a bus driver does? He drives the bus! Being a bus driver is the only thing I want to do in the whole wide world! I can't wait! |

We were really pleased to get a phone call from you almost as soon as we'd placed the order - it was to clarify a few points about our options and give us some advice, which turned out to be necessary and was very welcome. The kit arrived exactly as specified, on time, and extremely well - and, importantly, discreetly - packaged, with all the specified options. We haven't yet had a chance to use the equipment a great deal (Audiolab/Tannoy combination) but what we have heard sounds fantastic - notably a few recorded BBC TV Proms broadcasts, which is not what we bought the equipment for, but which it handles brilliantly. Many thanks for excellent advice and service. Five stars

Killing Two Birds With One Stone
I'm not a parent, so I could only imagine having to push one of those shitty Walmart carts with only two functioning wheels as well as your kid in a stroller. It's not like your little guy is moving that thing Fred Flintsone-style, so you aren't depriving him of exercise. I'll let you sound off your opinion in the comments on the matter.
Killing Two Birds With One Stone, -
person had to pick the entire thing up to deposit it in the cart.
Not smart nor safe.
And yep, they collapse. that's why they call them umbrella strollers. they open and close, are lightweight…. Not worth a crap when using to keep rain off of your head, however. Very cumbersome for that…To whomever suggested that the baby's not old enough to sit in the cart – if they're old enough to be pushed around in an umbrella stroller, they're old enough to sit up in a cart. if they weren't old enough, they should be in a baby bucket, the infant carrier that SHOULD be in the back seat of this person's car. They lift out of the car, have an easy carry handle, and can be placed in seat part of cart.
Or.. forget all that and just look at the pic, the kid's a toddler.
And since someone was strong enough to dead lift the entire thing into the cart, they were probably strong enough to just carry the kid into the store.
Seems rather stupid, and not safe getting the stroller in and out..
And as someone else said, what happens when they actually want to put purchases, budweiser or anything else, IN the cart? -
Look, the kid is not in danger (rare in POWM pictures), everyone is dressed in clothing that (1) fits, (2) covers everything and (3) gender appropriate (also rare).
Maybe Grandpa is helping out and has no idea how it folds up. He took the time to make sure everything is safe for the kid.
I say give Grandpa a break and also applause for being willing to spend time with the next generation.
Hooray for Rachel! Poor Gramps probably has no idea how to fold up that thing. (Hint: it was designed by a committee – from the government.) He's doing the best he can and spending some time with the young ones. The kid's happy and safe.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Go play in traffic with Patrick.
Been there, done that. The kid is in a cleaner seat. Think about how nasty those cart seats are. Blood from meat packages and other kids asses have been in that thing. And the child's face, hands and mouth are away from the hand bar, which has got the crud of thousands of walcreatures all over it. +1.
Wow-must be a slow news day.
As others have already pointed out:
-Appropriate clothing all around
-Male family member bonding with young one
-Child safer in stroller than in nasty cart-can't tip over, can't grab anything and can't put mouth to cart (bleah)
-Male family member most likely doesn't know how to fold the stroller. Hell, I KNOW how to do it and still pinched my fingers a few times!!Win all around…really stretched it on this one.
Better luck next time
Baby secure? (check) stroller secure (check) if i had my choice id have to say the stroller seats a more comfortable seat than the cart provides. As 4 wiping the cart handle down with wipes ? Gross,…. I still would not put my mouth on it nor my child's. We can't speculate on where he plans on putting his purchased items because we do not know what or how much he plans on purchasing. As a father of 4 i give 2 thumbs up to this guys ingenuity.
A smart guy! Keeps the little kid from running around, raising hell, getting hurt, putting their mouth on the handlebar, and this guy's probably tired of bending over everytime the kid needs something. The wife's probably got the other cart with the groceries. As for anyone complaining about the inside of the cart do you go home and lick the bottoms of your jars and stuff (?) AKA shut up!
I must really be some supermom. I managed to sit my son in the front seat of the cart, and not have him once put his mouth on the handle. Nor try to cliimb out and grab stuff. For one reason, I never walked away from the cart and left him sitting there. Apparently collapsing the stroller and sliding it onto the bottom of the cart, require to much brainpower for this person.
Not to serve up some haterade on this dad but this is NOT genius and all of you who claim it is either are not parents or are just plain retarded. If the kid is too small to sit upright it's called a CARSEAT and they easily click into the part of the cart where a child who can sit upright would sit. This is just an accident waiting to happen and there is nowhere to put the groceries/stuff you went in to purchase when you have a a child AND a stroller in there! Just dumb!
Putting the bucket infant seat onto the toddler seat of the cart is not recommended by either the cart manufacturer nor the car seat manufacturers. When that is done the cart can and often does tip over.
The instruction manual on the car seat says not to do that. The fact that the seat "clicks" in is just a coincidence. It is not actually locking the seat into place and does not stop the cart from tipping over.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - JC Tran came to the final table of the World Series of Poker with all the indicators in his favor.
He was the chip leader, he had more fame and years of experience than any of his eight competitors, and he'd dealt the blow that eliminated the 10th player back in July, when the final table of the main event was established.
But as midnight neared on Monday, he had fallen behind, sliding to fifth place among the six players who remained.
''The chips are shifting around. It's kind of hard to maintain the chip lead throughout,'' he said, rubbing his wife's extremely pregnant belly during a break. ''I want it to just come to me slowly.''
Heather Tran made JC a good luck smoothie each morning during the seven days of play in July that established which of the 6,352 entrants at the no-limit Texas Hold `em main event would make it to the final table. She was unable to make a smoothie on Monday, so she gave her husband coffee instead.
Two Americans, plus finalists from France, Israel and Canada remained at the table after six hours of play. Ryan Riess, the youngest of the finalists at 23, held a handy lead. His fans cheered ''Riess the beast'' as he made daring plays and backed them up with strong cards.
The nine finalists donned sunglasses and walked like prizefighters into the 1,600-seat theater at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino Monday night, where magicians Penn and Teller regularly perform. A champion will be crowned Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
Mark Newhouse was the first to go home. He sat down in eighth place, and busted out after he went up against Riess with a pair of nines. Riess was holding an ace and a king, and caught another king on the flop.
Less than an hour later, David Benefield, who started the night in last place, bowed out holding a King and a two of spades. Michiel Brummelhuis followed, losing with pocket nines.
That left five pros and one amateur playing the biggest game of their lives under the heat of blue and red stage lights. By the time play breaks in the wee hours of the morning, only two or three players will remain.
Some finalists hope the prize money will allow them to turn poker into a hobbyist's pastime. Others hope to fatten their bankroll for future games.
Each has a sizable cheering section. Jay Farber, a club host in Las Vegas and the one amateur among the finalists, had a plush panda mascot cheering him on. His friends wore ''combat panda'' shirts, and shrieked when the mascot rushed the stage and was escorted out by security.
Supporters of Amir Lehavot, who went into the final table with the second largest chip count but fell to sixth place, held signs reading ''Fear Amir.'' And Marc-Etienne McLaughlin fans wore green to support the Irish player.
All the factions broke into uncoordinated cheering when the players made big raises.
Chips mean everything and nothing in poker tournaments. They have no direct tie to the amount of money won or lost; each player already staked $10,000 to enter the tournament in July.
As the tournament progresses, minimum bets creep higher every two hours, tightening the pressure on players who continually find their chips weren't worth as much as before.
A player must lose all his chips to be eliminated from the tournament, and must win all the chips in play to claim the top prize of $8.4 million and the glory that comes with joining the names of past winners, including Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson and Chris Moneymaker.
The top seven finalists will get at least $1 million in total prize money. Newhouse, the ninth-place finisher, walked away with nothing more than the payout of $733,224 each player received in July.
The finale is broadcast nearly live on ESPN, airing with just enough of a delay to satisfy Nevada gambling regulators that the players don't have any way to tell what their opponents are holding.

There is no better car to own
Speedometer cable needs to be lubricated.
General Comments:
After all these years, it looks as good as it runs, with little maintenance. It's quick, sporty, sounds amazing, comfortable, well-equipped, and achingly attractive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

These cars do seem to get cooler with age. You don't see them anymore, and it's fun to see them on old shows on TVLand. Kind of sad to think of how many were trashed on Dukes of Hazzard, Dirty Harry, and The Blues Brothers.
