Glenn F. McConnell (born December 11, 1947) is an American politician currently serving as the 89th Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, entering the office on March 13, 2012.
He was previously a member of the South Carolina Senate, representing the 41st District from 1981 to March 13, 2012, when he ascended to the office of Lieutenant Governor, as he was the incumbent Senate President Pro Tempore.[1] The office of Lt. Governor had become vacant because of the resignation of Ken Ard on March 9, 2012.[2]
Early life, education, and early career[edit]
Glenn was born in 1947 in Charleston, South Carolina to the late Samuel W. McConnell and the late Evelyn McDaniel McConnell. He is a lifelong resident of the city and graduated from Saint Paul High School in 1965. He attended the College of Charleston. While there, he was active in the Alpha Chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, served in student government, and was elected president of the student body. He graduated with a B.S. in 1969 and a J.D. from University of South Carolina School of Law in 1972.
He first served as a staff attorney with the Charleston City Legal Assistance Program. He became a Labor Management Relations Specialist with the Charleston Naval Shipyard and afterwards went into private practice. He retired from law to manage his family business, CSA Galleries.[3] He is also a Co-Owner of The Wild House LTD.
Early political career[edit]
McConnell served as Chairman for County Republican Party from 1978 to 1982. He was a delegate at the Republican National Convention in 1980, 1984, and 1988.
South Carolina Senate (1981-2012)[edit]
He was first elected to South Carolina's 41st Senate District in 1980, and has been re-elected every four years until his last re-election in 2008. He was rarely challenged by a Democrat.[4]
- Party leadership
McConnell was the Senate President Pro Tempore from 2001-2012
- Boeing
McConnell was one of several South Carolina politicians credited with playing a key role in getting Boeing Co. to announce plans to build a 787 Dreamliner assembly plant in North Charleston, S.C. in October 2009.
After the deal was finalized, it was unclear how much the company was to receive in incentives. Initial figures valued the incentives package offered to Boeing at $450 million.[5] Analysis by the Post and Courier newspaper reported it was unclear at that time exactly how much incentive money the company will receive. The Post and Courier newspaper report estimated Boeing could receive more than $900 million incentives.[5]
- Confederate Flag
Lt. Governor McConnell is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Secession Camp #4.[6] The Sons of Confederate Veterans were charged in 1906 by Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General of the United Confederate Veterans, with "the vindication of the cause for which we fought."[7]
During a 1999 appearance on ABC News' Nightline,[8] then-Senator McConnell made the following statements about the flag:
- I see honor, courage, valor. I see the red, white and blue and the blood of sacrifice that ran through that battle and the people that carried that flag. I don't see black and white. I don't see racism.
- It hurts us to see groups like the Klan holding that flag. You want to talk about a sick feeling? Our group, our historical groups, we are disgusted when we see it. But we're equally disgusted and sickened by the political rhetoric and people say it's an emblem of racism, it's an emblem of hate, it's shameful and all of this. How do they think we feel when it's the emblem of our ancestors? They hurt our feelings.
- We will teach generations to come about the honor of these people and if they are going to choose the road of trying to stereotype us as racists and as hate mongers, then we are forever divided.
In 2000, when the Confederate flag was brought down from atop the dome of the State House, Senator McConnell successfully advocated for flying another Confederate flag from a flagpole in the front of the Statehouse, on the grounds, near the Confederate Soldier Monument.[9] He rejected the suggestion that the Confederate flag be placed in a glass case by saying, "Encasement represents entombment," and by saying that he wanted "no part in symbolically burying the Confederate banner."[10] The resulting bill that was passed in 2000 was called a compromise.[11] Senator McConnell vigorously fights attempts to take down the currently-flying Confederate flag, and he declares such attempts as having the goal of carrying out a "cultural genocide."[12] He has been featured as a guest on The Political Cesspool, a radio show that also promotes the Confederacy.[13]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Senate Rules Committee (Previous Chairman)
- Senate Judiciary Committee (Chairman)[14]
- Senate Banking and Insurance Committee
- Senate Ethics Committee
- Senate Interstate Cooperation Committee
- Senate Labor, Commerce, and Industry Committee
Lieutenant Governor (2012-Present)[edit]
Incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Ken Ard resigned his position in March 2012 because of ethics violations. The State Senate President Pro Tempore becomes the Lieutenant Governor when the position becomes vacant, leading to McConnell resigning his senate seat to become the Lieutenant Governor.

Big Green Egg Cherry Wood Smoking Pellets
Big Green Egg Wood Smoking Pellets will add a variety of delicious flavors to foods cooked over the coals. Each type of wood will impart a different flavor to every meat or other food with which it is used, resulting in an endless variety of new flavor combinations. Cherry trees grow throughout the U.S. in moderate climates. Another wood with a distinctive sweetness, cherry differs because it tends to darken the meat. The smoke will actually add a slightly rosy tinge to foods. Cherry smoke is very mild with a slight fruity cherry flavoring. Mixing Cherry chips with Hickory chips for smoking ribs results in EGGcellent flavor. Cherry chips are lovely with duckling and game birds, and are also well matched with almost any meat including beef tenderloin, pork, poultry, and lamb. Aromatic smoking woods are actually a very desirable form of seasoning because they add sumptuous flavor without adding any fat or calories. The wood smoke alters the taste of the food, resulting in a distinctive new flavor. As you master the art of smoking, you will learn how to mix and match the foods and woods for the most compatible combinations. You will also find personal favorites that your family especially enjoys; keep a record of those combinations, but remember experimenting is half the fun when it comes to smoking. There are many types of wood that are appropriate for smoking, but hardwoods are the most desirable. (Softer woods such as pine or cedar should never be used because they contain high levels of tar and resins that will coat the food and impart a bitter flavor.) Fruit and nut tree woods like apple, cherry, maple, pecan, oak and hickory are traditional favorites of famous pitmasters and backyard barbecuers alike. Since each type of wood reacts differently with each type of meat or food, the flavor combinations that result are endless. It pays to get acquainted with the wood flavors so you know which ones are pungent and pair best with more distinctive meats, poultry and fish and which ones work best with the milder flavored meats or vegetables. For complete information on smoking foods, descriptions of each type of wood and suggestions of which ones enhance various foods see the Wood Smoking Chip Chart. Big Green Egg Wood Smoking Chips available in 1-1/2 to 2-pound bags. There is a Big Green Egg to fit everyone's outdoor cooking needs with five sizes ranging from Mini to Extra Large plus several accessories to meet your grilling or smoking needs. You can use the EGG year around in all climates, even in freezing temperatures or during pouring rain. You will find it more versatile than any outdoor cooking appliance on the market, whether comparing it to gas, electric or another charcoal grill, because the EGG is a smoker, a grill and an oven all rolled into one. NOTE: Due to Big Green Egg's internet policy, the Big Green Egg products pricing/availability are only available via phone. Please call us at 1-877-MACKSPW for more information.

The rugged Jeep Wrangler maintains a strong cult following of off-road purists. It's a great choice for those who have an active, outdoor lifestyle that involves frequent off-roading and tough terrain. With its last full redesign in 2007, the Wrangler picked up modern safety features and a more refined driving experience without losing its distinct character. The Unlimited model has a back seat big enough to fit adults. What's more, Jeep claims that the Wrangler is the only true 4x4 convertible, which sets it apart from anything else in its class.
For 2010, the venerable Jeep Wrangler receives several minor changes. A new Interactive Decel Fuel Shut-Off (iDFSO) cuts fuel to the engine during deceleration, which increases gas mileage. It is standard on all models, as are a compass and outside temperature gauge.
The Wrangler is offered in two different body styles: the shorter, traditional-looking 2-door Wrangler and the longer, 4-door Wrangler Unlimited. All Wrangler models come tough and off-road-ready, with standard 4-wheel drive, but Wrangler Unlimited models can be specified with either rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive.

Serves six.
Yields about 3 cups ragù.
Put the tomatoes and their juices in a food processor and pulse 4 or 5 times until the tomatoes are crushed but not completely puréed.
Remove the sausage from its casing and tear the sausage apart with your hands into coarse pieces. Heat 1 Tbs. of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, further breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and almost completely cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate.
Add the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil to the pan and then add the leek, parsley, thyme, marjoram, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the leek is soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Adjust the heat if the garlic or leek shows any sign of burning.
Add the tomatoes and reserved sausage and stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a vigorous simmer and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan with the lid slightly ajar and simmer gently for 45 minutes. If the sauce is bubbling too fast, reduce the heat to low. Remove the lid and if the sauce seems watery, continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thick sauce consistency. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. To get the gnocchi into the boiling water, fold the parchment ends to form a chute and gently shake the gnocchi out, taking care not to clump them together as you drop them in. Give one gentle stir, wait until the gnocchi all float to the surface of the water, and then cook them for 1 minute. Carefully drain the gnocchi in a colander. Transfer them to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately, topped with Parmigiano, if using.
You can make this sauce ahead and refrigerate it, covered, for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 1 month.

by mlbell10, 6/29/2013My two boys loved making the gnocchi and eating it!
by lobsterwoman, 1/4/2010This is SO GOOD and SO EASY. The article just walks you through the process of making the best gnocchi ever...I was so surprised at how easy it was. The gnocchi were still light and airy the next day as leftovers. Thank you for this wonderful recipe and article. I will be making this again and again.
by Ajawaan, 4/4/2009Our favourite, the article was fabulous! Love, love, love the old Fine Cooking articles!
by brava313, 1/24/2009I had never made gnocchi before, but this recipe patiently guided me through the process, and end result was a complex blend of flavors and textures, the dumplings soft and succulent (too soft and "pasty" for my husband, though; you can't please everyone). I halved the recipe, cooking the ragu in a 9-inch iron skillet, and it worked fine.
by mw32, 1/2/2009I love this recipe! I had misplaced the issue where this appears and was so upset about it. I'm glad to have rediscovered the recipe online. It's the best gnocchi ever and the ragu is fab!

The Bobcats have their first 2 game winning streak of the season and have won 4 of their last 6 games. Emeka has played great over the last 2 games, Raymond is averaging 13 assists over the last 2 and things are going well.
The Bucks on the other hand have lost 4 out of their last 5 and have dropped to 8-12. If we win tonight we'll pass them in the standings. There is one positive though, when it comes to Drunk Dancing Fans they're the best in the business. Supposedly this guy is a Milwaukee staple that dances at a lot of the Bucks and UWM games... Good Times.
Are we on our way to a 3 game win streak?

I have recently read a series of articles on the Manageability Blog titled Why REST is BETTER. This is a short summary of the articles along with my perspective. The articles are definitely worth a read.
The first article makes a case for a uniform, domain independent object interface comprising of CRUD style functionality. I don't really understand the comparison of SOAP vs REST as the former denotes a transport protocol and the later is an architectural style. Maybe the comparison should be REST and WSDL/SOAP web services. The article also mentions a number of useful principles, which facilitate extensibility, maintainability and coupling, namely coarse-grained method invocation, argument sequencing and interface uniformity.
The second article doesn't really add much to the why REST argument. It does iterate that interoperability is a key selection criteria for using either and even goes on to say that the interface and it's uniformity is key to achieving interoperability. No arguments from me on this point although I am not convinced that we need to adopt such a grand unifying theory on interfaces and interoperability.
The third article discusses asynchronous messaging in its two styles, push and pull. In a push based system it is the producer that is pushing messages to the consumer whereas in a pull based system it is the consumer that is pulling messages from the producer. The article argues that the former is more tolerant to interoperability across change and compares RSS with SMTP, the former being pull-based and that later push-based. At the surface the argument seems compelling enough but a deeper level I am not convinced that the benefits are all that clear. The article also touches on pi-calculus and Robin Miner in order to support the significance of URI's as first class citizens in architectural and design descriptions. The arguments may not be conclusive but they do provoke further discussion.
The fourth article in the series touches on the properties of software architecture (as described by Roy Fielding), the proliferation of WS-* specifications and virtues of aspect-oriented programming. but for me it didn't add much to the Why Rest is Better argument.
I am currently involved in a mid-sized project, which uses both REST and WSDL/SOAP style architectures. We have recently completed the first iteration and from a practical sense I find the simplicity of REST a very compelling argument to support its use….but the proof will be in the deployment, scalability and maintenance of the service.

Harvesting motor vehiclesPosted Monday, February 9, 2009, at 3:16 PM
A recent report by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency contained some interested facts about the number of deer "harvested" by hunters in Tennessee during the recent deer hunting season.
The report indicated it was a good year for hunters but one item was missing from the report. How many of us would like to know how many motor vehicles were "harvested" by the deer? We've certainly had our share in Bedford County. This past weekend there was a report of motorcycle versus deer in an injury accident. Maybe the traffic and wildlife officials could get together to give us an accurate report on this problem. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] I worked at a body shoppe in the '80's and saw what full grow Buck vs. small british import will do. The Buck did not live, but the car was really damaged. It became a convertible pretty quick. -- Posted by 4fabfelines on Mon, Feb 9, 2009, at 6:09 PM

Why should SolidPtOn have to be a separate command?
What about:
PointsOn() {
if selection is Polysrf
- Björn

Views: 117
Hi Björn
We had internal discussion about this one and it is a very logical question, but there are 2 issues:
- SolidPtOn works with surfaces (single face polysurface) where it turns the vertex points of that surface. What if the user would like to use SolidPtOn editing on such objects.
- Objects from extrusion - in V5 we have the light weight extrusion object that turns on different set of points with PointsOn command than SolidPtOn. What should we do in this case?
Any thoughts?
Hi Rajaa,
Ah, you're right. Actually, I haven't been using v5 long enough to notice those two possibilities. But after playing with them now for a while, I see what you mean.
My first thought is perhaps it would make sense to try and differ between the Vertices and the Points. Visually, I mean. Then they could both be turned on with the same command.
Thinking out loud, the things turned on for example extrusions could be larger and differ in colour or shape. And perhaps one could make some order with the names, and divide them by that aswell.
Points, vertices, grips.

Questions for Zer01
For the past few weeks we've received several e-mails inquiring about Zer01, a new company that it touting a VoIP cell phone service. From what we can tell, CNET readers are intrigued at the prospect, but they're also skeptical about what Zer01 is promising. Though CNET has written about the company only marginally, we've been more than skeptical too.
After debuting in April at the CTIA show, Zer01 quickly garnered analyst praise and several awards. But in the last two months, the company has been dogged by negative press questioning its business relationships and practices, the feasibility of its technology and the veracity of its claims. Citing "ethical questions" Laptop Magazine even rescinded its award from CTIA on August 4.
Indeed, valid questions about Zer01 have been raised. We won't repeat them all here--a simple News search will reveal many results--but we can offer a Q&A covering current developments. … Read more

Sarah's Thoughts on Texas State
Why Texas State
It has a great location and a beautiful campus. I had a good feeling when I came to visit.
Why Marketing?
For years, my family told me that I should major in marketing. I like understanding the way consumers behave and finding out how best to make them happy.
Favorite Professor
It's hard to pick a favorite professor because I have been lucky enough to have many amazing professors who have helped my college education in many different ways. I think it's a tie between Dr. Vance Lesseig, finance, and
Dr. Eric Kirby
, management. They both are very skilled at explaining difficult topics in terms students can relate to. They keep the class atmosphere interesting, interactive and entertaining while you learn. Also, they were always willing to help even when the topic didn't pertain to their classes.
Most Valuable Learning Experience at Texas State
I have learned that it is very beneficial to get to know your professors and show them your commitment to succeeding in their classes. When professors remember your name and see how hard you work, they want to help you succeed.
Best Studying Advice
Try different study techniques until you find what's right for you. I learned that finding a quiet place, putting ideas into my own terms, hand-writing notes and creating acronyms helps me. One of the best things to help you study can be what you get from class; the real-life examples professors give are the easiest way to relate and remember topics.
My Organizations
Alpha Xi Delta
American Marketing Association (AMA)
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)
Why I am Involved at Texas State
Joining a sorority as a freshman gave me a sense of belonging and helped me meet many of my closest friends. My business organizations have given me an opportunity to apply what I have learned in class and become closer to the professors who oversee them. All of my organizations have taught me valuable leadership and teamwork skills.

7 TEDx Talks from women making change
This Friday and Saturday, November 30 and December 1, over 150 TEDx events will join the anchor TEDxWomen event in Washington D.C. in a global conversation about the state of women in the world today. To celebrate this momentous occasion, here are seven talks from women innovating the way we live — the way we eat, educate, heal and care.
The aftermath of Occupy: Naomi Colvin at TEDxHousesofParliament
Last year, the Occupy Wall Street movement spread like wildfire across the globe. It sparked countless protests and its "We are the 99%" slogan has been canonized into the progressive lexicon. Just as quickly as it gained champions, however, it found critics from the left and right who dismiss the campaign for its inability to articulate specific demands. Naomi Colvin thinks they miss the point entirely; that the protests were not about rushing into specific negotiations based on conventional principles, but about disrupting the way we reform altogether. In this reflective talk, she lays out a new vision of political identity.
Young people can make an extraordinary impact on the global health crisis. Through the story of an anti-HIV campaign in Malawi, Barbara Bush demonstrates the power of motivated volunteers to solve problems of health equity.
Change begins with children. El cambio comienza en nuestros niños: Patricia Velásquez
What is your cause? Patricia Velásquez started a school in one of Venezuela's toughest areas because she believed that the future of every child should be protected and supported. At TEDxTepuy, she calls on all of us to find our own personal cause to fight for.
Each week, we choose four of our favorite talks, highlighting just a few of the enlightening speakers from the TEDx community, and its diverse constellation of ideas worth spreading. Browse all TEDxTalks here »

Hi lifwanian,
I just wanted to let you know that there is an ongoing thread here for this same exact thing here: http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/lets-build-up-our-social-networks/43445
It may be best just to keep this all in one place, as there are already hundreds of folks who have posted this same info.
Best of luck out there!
Yeah, we actually have a few of these here. However, they just get filled up, users/authors leave, lose interest, etc. i.e., I take the time, go through 10 pages, and find that half those people are not even there I here anymore… figured this way, instead of resurrecting old ones, we start fresh, and get people in here who really want to get connected.
The way I see it, threads die quickly, especially when resurrected.

Nothing beats an outdoor vacation on the water. When you get to learn sailing too, the vacation can become an epic adventure! Since 1964, Steve and Doris Colgate's Offshore Sailing School has turned complete novices into accomplished sailors. Offshore Sailing School is America's Number #1 Sailing School® for good reason. We will make a sailor out of you!
The official sailing school for The Moorings, the world's largest and most respected charter service, Offshore Sailing offers a large variety of sailing courses for sailing enthusiasts at every skill level – from day sailing to cruising and racing!
To book your Offshore Sailing School learning adventure, please fill out the Quick Connect or call 888-454-7015 today!
We also offer, Team Building / Leadership Sailing Courses for business professionals and universities; and learn-to-sail and cruising programs for groups, including Girlfriend Getaways for women. Take any course by yourself or customize courses for couples, groups or families. See all Sailing Course Descriptions.
Career sailors Steve and Doris Colgate have sailed the world on their ocean racer, Sleuth, and cruised in most of the top global cruising destinations. Together, they offer a wealth of sailing and racing expertise including Steve's participation in the America's Cup trials and the Olympics. If you want to learn sailing from the masters, you're in the right place!
We have top notch instructors, an outstanding curriculum, sailing certifications at all levels, and the best training sailboats in the world. This is why Offshore Sailing School has welcomed over 130,000 graduates to our sailing family.
Our Locations include:
Those who are passionate about sailing call it the ultimate green lifestyle. Besides being thrilling and exhilarating, sailing requires little fuel, it's earth-friendly and it's clean. Get the skills and confidence you need to navigate and explore the open waters. Education has never been such fun!
When your sailing vacation comes to a close, you won't go home with just a tan. Instead, you'll have sailing knowledge and expertise that lasts a lifetime. Here's our promise to you: If you complete a course at Colgate Offshore Sailing School that doesn't deliver everything you expect we'll arrange for you to repeat the course – tuition free!
This Colgate Offshore Sailing School exclusive is the fastest way to achieve confident cruising skills and gain three certifications in one week. Taught at most Offshore Sailing School campuses, you will go from novice (or rusty former sailor) to cruise-ready during this sailing course. Fast Track to Cruising® combines our Learn to Sail sailing course with our Bareboat Cruising Preparation course (stay ashore while learning) or Live Aboard Cruising course (live on the cruising boat while learning) . Both courses are described below. At course end, you are ready to bareboat charter!
New to sailing or need a refresher? The Learn to Sail course is for you - culminating in Day Sailing Certifcation on boats up to 30 feet. This sailing course, taught in three full days or a more relaxed five half-days schedule, and takes you from beginner through intermediate level on our fleet of award-winning Colgate 26 sailing school boats. Available at all Offshore Sailing School locations.
This next step after learning to sail gets you ready for cruising in five days at several of our resort locations. You'll gain Basic Cruising and Bareboat Cruising Certification with the confidence, skills and techniques to start bareboat chartering or sail your own cruising boat with ease. Taught on 43-47 foot cruising yachts while living ashore at a glorious resort.
This fabulous experience on big cruising monohulls or catamarans gives you the same sailing certifications, confidence and skills as Bareboat Cruising Preparation for big boat bareboat chartering and ownership. You live aboard throughout the course, learning as you cruise from port to port, island to island in Florida, Maryland and the British Virgin Islands (BVI).
Do you need a tune up on big boat sailing skills? Our Bareboat Cruising Refresher sailing course is taught on 43-47' cruising yachts at many of our locations. You get 14 hours of instruction over one weekend and the confidence to take the wheel of a charter yacht on your next vacation. Bareboat Cruising Refresher is for sailors who already have big boat experience and want to brush up on anchoring, docking and handling a cruising yacht under sail.
If you don't have much spare time and want to "test the waters" try our Two-Day Learn to Sail Getaway. You will sail with an expert Offshore Sailing School instruction on a sprightly Colgate 26 in two four-hour on-water saling lesson sessions. Choose any two days you like and learn about sailing in one of these sailing courses. Please be aware this course does not give you any kind of certification or prepare you for cruising courses.
You can choose just about any Offshore Sailing School sailing course at any Offshore Sailing School campus, and turn it into a private learning experience. This is the perfect program for couples, friends, or a parent and son or daughter who want to share equally and support each other aboard. You'll gain incredible confidence, not only in your own sailing skills but each other's abilities as you revel in the joy of fulfilling your sailing goals together.
Here's one of the special sailing classes that brings your family together to learn in an unforgettable bonding experience. Choose the Learn to Sail, Bareboat Cruising Preparation or Live Aboard Cruising course and embark on a whole new lifestyle. If you your family includes the younger set (7-17 years of age), our special Kids and Teens Learn Free program is a real winner! Maximum family of five for Learn to Sail courses, or six for cruising courses when learning with kids.
After achieving Bareboat Cruising Certification, you can take our comprehensive Coastal Navigation course while sailing a big catamaran. Courses are available in the British Virgin Islands or west coast of Florida. You'll brush up your catamaran cruising skills, while concentrating on the nuances of piloting as you navigate from island to island. Lots of problem solving, lots of real hands-on navigating. The most complete Coastal Navigation sailing class you'll find.
This four-day classroom sailing course gives you a solid foundation and sailing certification in piloting. It's the same sailing course content as taught on catamarans (above), but in this case totally in a classroom setting. It is also the precursor to Coastal Passage Making.
This ten-day sailing class includes the four-day Coastal Navigation course taken ashore, immediately followed by the six-day live-aboard Coastal Passage Making course on a 43-47' cruising yacht. Taught in Florida, it includes sailing at night, standing watches, cooking underway, landfalls and much more. If you already have Coastal Navigation certification, you can take just the six-day Coastal Passage Making course.
COAST® is the fastest and most economical way to master sailing in one year. You will go from novice to skilled passage maker in a two-step curriculum that includes the Fast Track to Cruising and Fast Track to Coastal Passage Making courses. You earn five certifications with special pricing that locks in tuition rates and a special discount.
For the more analytical sailor with go-fast spirit, this terrific performance sailing course takes you beyond Learn to Sail with advanced training in sailing a Colgate 26 daysailer to its maximum potential. You'll get extensive spinnaker work and learn more about what to do when problems occur, quickly and confidently. Available in three day and five-day schedules at most Offshore Sailing School campuses.
The only course of its kind, anywhere – Performance Racing is held one week each spring at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, Florida. Each day combines expert seminars and video analysis from North U, unique on-water instruction from professional Offshore Sailing School racing instructors and guest sailing coaches, and real races. It's the boot camp of sail-race training; six days of exciting training, more starts than most racing sailors do in a full year, and short race courses for quick reactions. This is serious learning, racing every day and a regatta with prizes awarded at week's end.
Our Corporate Sail-Race Challenge® offers the opportunity to experience a special synergy between sailing and business. Find out how managing a sailboat, making it go in the right direction efficiently compares to achieving goals with peers and bosses back in the office. Whether your focus is team-building or leadership development, these tailored programs provide proven, positive results. Plus, they are fun! Half, full and multi-day programs available in Florida, New York Harbor and the Caribbean.
This four-day classroom sailing course is the precursor to Offshore Passage Making, available to take alone if you have strong Coastal Navigation experience. You'll learn how to use a sextant, HO249 tables and the Nautical Almanac to calculate a sailboat's position based on the sun, planets and stars.
This is the most intense of all our sailing classes. You must have all previous certifications, including Celestial Navigation and be ready for the rigors of non-stop ocean sailing. Taught in ten days on big cruising yachts you start with our four-day Celestial Navigation course, then board your yacht for our six-day Offshore Passage Making course. This thrilling offshore adventure is for those with strong sailing skills, the stomach for blue water sailing, and all the necessary pre-requisite certifications.
Sailing lessons are available at all Offshore Sailing School locations in two-hour increments, giving you the opportunity to get out on the water, feel the wind on your face and the power of moving a boat under sail power alone. Get the sailing bug with one of our two-hour lessons and we'll apply half your tuition to a regular certification course!
Our guarantee: After you complete a course at the Colgate Offshore Sailing School, if the instruction you received was not up to your expectations, let us know right away and we will arrange to give you the same course over again, tuition free.

Drugs and the dole: No mandatory testing
Florida law requires drug testing for welfare recipients. State data disclosed last year in response to a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union revealed that only 2.6 percent of recipients tested positive for illegal drugs. And the tests cost the state $45,000 more than they saved. The law was suspended by court order, and a trial is scheduled for this March.
Other states that tried similar laws found that the incidence of drug use was small and the savings were smaller than promised, sometimes non-existent. At a legislative hearing on LeBrun's bill, Sarah Mattson of New Hampshire Legal Assistance called it a "very high-cost, very low-return idea." That is an accurate description.
The fiscal note attached to LeBrun's bill shows that it would cost New Hampshire taxpayers up to $239,000 (the state has to pay for the tests of applicants who test negative, which would be almost all of them). The savings are projected to fall between $50,000 to $219,000. High cost, low return.
Then there is the constitutional question. Michigan's mandatory testing program was ruled an unconstitutional violation of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches, and this bill would bring a legal challenge on similar grounds.
A policy to test recipients who provide reasonable suspicion that they are using illegal drugs might be cost-effective and constitutional. Blanket testing for all recipients is likely neither and should not be pursued.

[JURIST] US President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed into law [transcript of remarks] the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act [HR 4872 materials], which represents a group of amendments to the recently approved health care legislation [JURIST news archive] and also provides changes to the administration of the federal student loan program. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act [HR 3221 materials], a rider attached to the main bill, will remove banks and private lenders as providers for federal student loans and place that responsibility with the government. The health care amendments addressed concerns in the original bill raised by Republicans, including provisions to help uninsured Americans pay for coverage, concerns over the effects to Medicare, and lowering the penalty for not buying insurance. In his remarks, Obama lauded the changes made to the student loan program and the final passage of health care reform:
[T]he health insurance reform bill I signed won't fix every problem in our health care system in one fell swoop. But it does represent some of the toughest insurance reforms in history. It represents a major step forward towards giving Americans with insurance - and those without - a sense of security when it comes to their health care. It enshrines the principle that when you get sick, you've got a society there, a community, that is going to help you get back on your feet.For a long time, our student loan system has worked for banks and financial institutions. Today, we're finally making our student loan system work for students and our families. But we're also doing something more. From the moment I was sworn into office, I've spoken about the urgent need for us to lay a new foundation for our economy and for our future. And two pillars of that foundation are health care and education, and each has long suffered from problems that we chose to kick down the road.

From 2012 it is easy to say the Beatles are overrated. However, if you lived through it and experienced popular music before and after you probably cannot fully fathom their influence. Watch some old sit-coms and see how rock/pop music was really considered disposable pap by those over 18. Artists generally either "grew up" and went into serious crooner pop/lounge acts (Sam Cooke, Bobby Darin) or moved over to the country charts (Brenda Lee, Conway Twitty, etc). Even at the start of their influence they were dismissed as insignificant musically. But at the end of their career they were still on top and revered/respected in all of music. Even Frank Sinatra called Harrison's "Something" the best love song in 20 years. Virtually every act/group/singer for the next 20 years cited their influence. Yeah, in 50 years some of their stuff sounds pretty dated and people, including me, get tired of hearing it pretty much non-stop in that span, but in no way are they overrated. My overrated list: Patty Smith - NY Art/Punk darling. In the R&R HOF because of that. Grateful Dead - Who said you can't play the same thing over and over and over and over and still be considered not overrated. Underrated: Zombies - awesome 60's pop group, love Colin Blunstone vocals.
No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.
Overrated: Phish no reason they should get a 4 hour set at a festival to play 3 songs.

I think the "mystique" of them revolutionizing the music industry as a reason why they should be put on a pedestal is hogwash too. They were just lucky. They showed up at the right time, with a sound that was easy for lots of people to like, and had some charismatic band members. If it wasn't them then it could have easily been The Monkees or some other boy band with instruments. I think that all of the new hard rock bands: Avenged Sevenfold, Five-Finger Death Punch, etc. all sound very much alike and that sound is not a good one. FFDP's cover of "Bad Company" makes me wince with pain one moment then laugh hysterically at how bad the singer is screwing up the tone of the song. I think that Seether may be the only new hard rock band that is halfway decent. As far as newer "alt" bands...FUN sounds like a Kidz Bop commercial singalong time. They are easily the most overrated at the moment, however, I find myself skipping over 105.1 more often than not due to all the new artists (Of Monsters and Men, Imagine Dragons, Lumineers, and Mumford & Sons) who are more akin to Billy Joel and other soft rock than real rock like AiC, Oasis, Nirvana, STP, etc. One last thing, DMB sucks and I am not afraid to get kicked out of a house party because I say that aloud. It has happened before and will happen again. This is so wrong it is laughable. You DO realize the Monkees were INVENTED as a pop group to fill the pop/teenybopper market AFTER the Beatles had progressed to more serious music. The fact that they DIDN'T just stay pop-boymeetsgirl songsters after a couple of years is the change that showed the world pop stars don't have to just sing silly love songs.
Originally Posted by PhillipJCY As far as newer "alt" bands...FUN sounds like a Kidz Bop commercial singalong time. They are easily the most overrated at the moment... The whole Fun. project for Nate Ruess saddens me as I was a huge fan of his high-school/college band The Format... Found them randomly on MySpace (yes, used it as a means for music discovery back in the day) and hit a couple shows and had all their albums - they were close to getting deals with labels but could never end up finializing anything. Very unique sound and creative lyrics - they called it quits and he formed cookie cutter KISSfm music. Very sad it came down to Fun.
I've never liked one song by Bob Dylan or his voice.
Originally Posted by dmclone I've never liked one song by Bob Dylan or his voice. Dylan's contribution was never his voice. It was his songwriting and being the voice of a generation. This is the same reason Nirvana was famous, the Beatles, and a dozen more.

The wall is one of Floyd's weaker albums.
I think a majority of the bands in here are bands that I have liked at one time, but now continue to **** me off with every single album they release. It all makes me think of this: "Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?" I'm going to have to go with burn out.

John Charles Galliano2 CBE, RDI (born 1960) is a Gibraltar-born British fashion designer who was the head designer of French fashion companies Givenchy (July 1995 to October 1996), Christian Dior (October 1996 to March 2011), and his own label John Galliano.3
He was born in Gibraltar to a Gibraltarian father, Juan Galliano, and a Spanish mother, Anita, and has two sisters.1 Galliano's father was a plumber.4 His family moved to England in pursuit of work when Galliano was six, and settled in Streatham, South London, before moving to Dulwich56 and later to Brockley.7 He was raised in a strict Roman Catholic family. Galliano, who was shy and diffident, often spoke of his struggle to fit in. Recalling his early days, he once admitted: "I don't think people here understood where I was coming from." His mother, a flamenco teacher, would dress him in his "smartest" outfit even for a trip to the local shops. This, combined with his creative sensibilities, saw him frequently bullied at the London boys' grammar school he attended.5
Early career
After attending St. Anthony's School and Wilson's Grammar School in London, Galliano went on to study at Saint Martin's School of Art, from which he graduated in 1988 with a first class honours degree in Fashion Design. His first collection was inspired by the French Revolution and entitled Les Incroyables, with a music soundtrack mixed by DJ Jeremy Healy. The collection received positive reviews and was bought in its entirety for resale in the London fashion boutique Browns. Galliano then started his own fashion label alongside long-term collaborators Amanda Harlech, at that time stylist with Harpers and Queen, and Stephen Jones, a milliner. 8910
On the back of this success, Galliano rented studio space in London, but his talent was not matched by a head for business. Moreover, he would take his enjoyment of London's nightlife to extremes.5 Initially, financial backing came from Johan Brun, and when this agreement came to an end, Danish entrepreneur Peder Bertelsen, owner of firm Aguecheek, who were also backing Katherine Hamnett at the time, took over. This agreement ended in 1988 and Galliano sought the backing of German agent Faycal Amor (owner and designer of fashion label Plein Sud) who directed him to set up his base in Paris. Galliano relocated to Paris in search of financial backing and a strong client base. His first show was in 1989 as part of Paris Fashion Week. By 1990, he was bankrupt and, after his own London-based label failed to re-ignite his fortunes, he moved to Paris.5
Media fashion celebrity Susannah Constantine has worked for Galliano,11 and he has also aided the future success of other designers including shoe designer Patrick Cox. In 1991, he collaborated with Kylie Minogue, designing the costumes for her Let's Get to It Tour.citation needed
In 1993, Galliano's financial agreement with Amor ended and he did not have a showing in October, missing the season. With the help of American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley, then European Correspondent at Vanity Fair, Galliano was introduced to Portuguese socialite and fashion patron Sao Schlumberger and financial backers of venture firm Arbela Inc, John Bult and Mark Rice. It was through this partnership that Galliano received the financial backing and high society stamp needed to give him credibility in Paris. This collection was important in the development of Galliano as a fashion house, and is regarded as a 'fashion moment' in high fashion circles.1213
In July 1995, he was appointed as the designer of Givenchy by Bernard Arnault, owner of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, thus becoming the first British designer to head a French haute couture house.citation needed On 21 January 1996, Galliano presented his first couture show at the helm of Givenchy at the Stade de France. The collection received high praise within the fashion media.citation needed Some of Galliano's designs for Givenchy were licensed to Vogue Patterns.14
In October 1996, LVMH moved Galliano to Christian Dior, replacing Italian designer Gianfranco Ferré.15
In 2010, Galliano identified his love of theatre and femininity as central to his creations; he said "my role is to seduce", and credited Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers as an influence.16
On 25 February 2011, Dior announced that it had suspended Galliano following his arrest over an alleged anti-Semitic tirade in a Paris bar.17 The same day, Paris-based citizen journalism site Citizenside received video of Galliano on a similar rant in the same bar the previous December. In the video a drunk Galliano, seated at a café table, insults a group of Italian women and declares "I love Hitler... People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be fucking gassed." This incident happened just before the Paris Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2011-12.
The show-business industry expressed mixed feelings towards the designer's anti-semitic speech1819
Galliano denied the allegations through his lawyer,20 and launched a defamation lawsuit against the couple accusing him of antisemitism.21 On 1 March 2011, Dior announced that it had begun procedures of dismissal for Galliano, with Dior's chief executive Sidney Toledano stating, "I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano".20 Dior announced it will continue to support the Galliano brand financially due to license despite the scandal.22
In France, expressing anti-semitic ideas is illegal. It was reported on 2 March 2011 that Galliano was to face trial in Paris for allegedly "making racist comments to customers in a café". The trial commenced on 22 June 2011.2324 Galliano's lawyer argued that the "series of public outbursts during which he uttered racist and anti-Semitic insults in a Paris café" were the result of "work-related stress and multiple addictions."25 On 8 September 2011, Galliano was found guilty of making anti-Semitic remarks and sentenced to pay a total of €6,000 (US$8,400) in suspended fines after a French court found him guilty of giving public insults on account of race.26
A Paris commercial court, in March 2011, rejected a claim for damages by Galliano's company, Cheyenne Freedom, "following the termination of its consultancy agreements with Christian Dior Couture SA".25 The court ordered Cheyenne Freedom to pay Dior €1.17 million "for hurting the company's image and reputation".25
On 21 November 2013, the Paris Court of Appeals rejected an appeal by Christian Dior Couture SA, which was seeking to move the case to a commercial court from the Conseil de prud'hommes (Labor Relations Court) and ordered Christian Dior Couture SA and John Galliano SA to each pay the Galliano €2,500 and court costs.25 Galliano "is seeking compensation in the range of 6 million euros".25 Jean Néret of Jeantet Associés is representing Christian Dior Couture SA and John Galliano SA.25 Chantal Giraud-van Gaver of Coblence & Associés represents John Galliano.25
In early 2013, Galliano accepted an invitation from Oscar de la Renta, brokered by Anna Wintour, for a temporary residency at de la Renta's design studio to help prepare for a showing of his Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection during February New York Fashion Week.27 Galliano also received a measure of absolution from the Anti-Defamation League, which lauded his efforts to atone for his misdeeds and wished him well.28 The ADL again came to his defence after the New York Post ran a photo of him on his way to the de la Renta show dressed in what it claimed was Hasidic-like garb.2930 Galliano remained backstage at the show, which received favourable reviews3132 amid speculation about his future, including as a possible successor to Mr. de la Renta33 and that Galliano may take up a teaching post at Parsons the New School for Design.34 On 12 June 2013, John Galliano's first filmed interview since his dismissal from Christian Dior was broadcast on United States television. He closed this conversation by stating "I am able to create. I am ready to create...[and] I hope through my atonement I'll be given a second chance."35

Norwegian Names Project Breakaway Ships
Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway Selected as Names for Norwegian's New Ships
MIAMI – September 13, 2011 – Norwegian Cruise Line ("Norwegian") has selected the winning names for its two new Freestyle Cruising® ships: Norwegian Breakaway, launching in April 2013, and Norwegian Getaway, launching in April 2014. The names were selected as the culmination of its "Norwegian's Cruising for Names" contest held in conjunction with national newspaper USA Today.
Norwegian felt these names best reflected the innovation of the brand along with the freedom and flexibility of the line's signature Freestyle Cruising and invoked the feeling that these ships will provide a "break" at sea from the stress of everyday life. Breakaway is defined as "a departure or break from routine or tradition" and Getaway is defined as "a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation, etc."
"We felt Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway epitomized both our Freestyle Cruising philosophy and our belief that these ships will offer a true respite, whisking our guests away from their everyday routines and delivering the ultimate cruise vacation," said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian's chief executive officer.
The contest winners are Kimberly Powell of Lafayette, Louisiana, who first submitted Norwegian Breakaway, and Dennis Hultman of Vienna, Virginia, who first submitted Norwegian Getaway. Powell took her first cruise in August on Norwegian Spirit and loved the experience. She is a self-proclaimed "news junkie" and thought it would be fun to enter the contest when she saw it on USA Today's site. Hultman is an avid cruiser and also reads USA Today daily.
Both Powell and Hultman will receive a trip for two to Norwegian Breakaway's inaugural festivities, including the Christening Ceremony (date/location yet to be determined). The trip includes round-trip coach airfare for two, ground transportation, balcony stateroom accommodations (double occupancy), on-board meals, as well as government taxes and fees.
The contest entry period ran from July 18 to August 14, 2011, during which 230,000 entries were received. For the official contest rules and details on the prizes, visit www.cruisingfornames.usatoday.com.
The Breakaway class ships will each be 144,017 gross tons and will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths. These ships represent an opportunity for the Norwegian guest to "break away" from the routine of work, school, and daily stress, and find a true respite at sea. These new ships will take the best of the best from all of Norwegian's existing ships drawing on the line's experience of having launched 10 ships in the past 10 years – starting with Norwegian Star and Sun in 2001 and culminating with the launch of Norwegian Epic in 2010. To date, the company has revealed all of the ships' staterooms, which include the innovative Studios, designed and priced for solo travelers, along with The Haven by Norwegian, comprised of 42 suites at the top of the ship.
Further information on Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway can be found at www.ncl.com/breakaway.
About Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 44-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which has revolutionized the industry by allowing guests more freedom and flexibility.
Today, Norwegian has 11 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. The Company has two 4,000-passenger vessels on order for delivery in spring 2013 and spring 2014.
Norwegian's largest and most innovative Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic, debuted in June 2010. Norwegian Cruise Line is the official cruise line of Blue Man Group, appearing for the first time at sea on Norwegian Epic, as well as the official cruise line of Legends in Concert, Howl at the Moon Dueling Pianos, Gibson Guitar, and Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids.

Insert 'Jaws' theme song here
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes on Aug 6, 2013
This is Shark Week. Shark Week celebrates that ancient predator that has featured as the villain in so many movies -- "Jaws," "Open Water," and most recently the new cult classic "Sharknado."
Now everyone who watches Shark Week knows that the only thing that can make Shark Week even better is -- obviously -- making a drinking game out of it.
So, for those avid Shark Week watchers who have no desire to remember anything from this week, I present to you the Shark Week drinking game. May the Force be with your livers.

You haven't realy given enough info. What does your diet consist of? What kind of workouts are you doing? How may times a week? GIve us some more info to build off of.
diet and cardio will get you there. 15lbs isn;t that hard
I workout 5-6 times a week with weights, weights with cardio. Run 1-2 miles a day and rollerblade about 3 miles a day. As well as an eliptical machine for 15 min. I know dropping the weight is not an issue, but having the edge on getting really cut and lean will be an issue. That is more of what I am looking for supplements to help me with.
Winabol is awesome. They also put potassium, magnesium and vitamins B6 to aid in the prevention of muscle cramping unlike other companies. I'd do this and good fat burner like Lipodrene or WinEvol.
How fat can you be at 5'10'/175 lbs?
You want to lose 15% of you body weight? Unless you're over 20% BF, you're going to lose significant mass. 25 lbs. seems quite excessive at your height and weight, unless you're a long distance runner or trying to meet weight.
There's a big difference between "lean and cut" and "skinny as all hell."
25mg Ephedrine+200mg Caffeine 3x per day, take once 30mins-1hour before workout...have to cycle on and off of this...bronkaid at any CVS active ingredient=ephedrine...
This is the ****....I think that is all I can say about it....I did 8 weeks on it and lost about 20 pounds...I had more fat to lose than you, and my excercise was on point, diet was a little too high in carbs....
I just started Ultimate Diet 2.0....Sounds like this would work awesome for you, includes sups/diet/excercise plan that is literally....the ultimate....It was given to me I should pass it on, pm me iof you want a copy.
I'm looking at the same way. Wanna get down to 72kg and 6% bf. I train every day for running doing different types of v02 training. I am 5 11" and at 164 right now.wanna drop last little bit to meet my desired weight of 71-72 kg.
Nag suggestions on diet? 3 days are HIIT training for minimum of 40mins and the days in between are lighter sessions but do involve some hard running but not a lot. I am looking to cut some more time off my 10km which is 40mins now which I also thank MST cordy ultra for helping, but gotta some stubborn lower flab fat that I would love to see go
You should take... In less calories than you use. Track cals and macros
For a day and post them up. Also if you where benching the much weight with good form did you have any muscle any where else?
For fighting purposes I would think things like cleans squats core and grip work would be your focus. still benching 2x body weight is not an easy feat
typically supplement wise. after having diet and training in check are as follows
(both of which are at a good dose in Assault)
a solid fat burner
MusclePharms Shred....its not just caffeine and crap, it helps your blood sugar stay low and shuttle carbs into muscle cells, uses yohimbine to work on beta cells, and the mood and focus is nice on it,
and protein.....
thats the basics man... hold onto muscle and find out what calorie level you need and what macronutrients work best for you
