The Street Glide tries hard to bridge the gap between full-on tourer and custom street bike. The bike is based on Harley's spine frame touring chassis but is 'slammed' for a low mean look. The twin cam 96 cubic inch (1584cc) engine hauls the bike briskly to a comfortable 80mph cruising speed with just the right amount of vibes. As ...

The hub-centre steered Bimota Tesi is back. This is the third generation Bimota Tesi: the 3D. It costs £19,600 and is powered by the Ducati Multistrada 1100 engine. Although the Bimota Tesi is beautifully made, it's a very cramped motorcycle and the quirky front end doesn't have anywhere near the feel of a well set-up pair of forks. The cheaper ...

Victory's second generation customs (which also includes the Vegas, 8-Ball etc) are a world on from the original V92 clunkers and, on paper at least, have more than enough to give Harley-Davidson a run for its money. The Victory Hammer is no exception

googolplex said...
Would you rather see your team trot out 22 mid-4-star players, or 17 mid-3-star players with 5 high-level 5-stars sprinkled in?
I know some 3-stars turn out amazing (Werner) and some 5-stars bust (Rouse).
So for this thought experiment, assume all the players turn out in college to be exactly what their high school rating would predict.
So, I'd guess the team of 22 4-stars would essentially be 22 mid-round draft picks, say rounds 3-6, with a couple of second rounders. The team of 3- and 5-stars consists of 17 players who are low-rounders or undrafted free agents or just decent players with maybe arena ball potential, with 5 guys who go in the first round.
Also, if you take the team with the 5-stars, what positions do they play?
I'm going with the 3- and 5-stars. And I'm putting my 5-stars at QB, WR, DT, and both cornerbacks.

I would want 5 5 stars, 15 4 stars and 5 3 stars in a class of 25.
Good chance the 5 stars become all-stars. Most of the 4 stars become starters, some become back-ups. The 3 stars would provide depth.
Of course, it all depends on evaluation. How many Bjoern Werners are there in the 3 stars?

tan linesWhat would you do if your 15-year-old developed an obsession with spray tanning? Hang on, let me define "obsession" for you: 4 hours of spray-tanning every morning. $600 spent on spray tanning supplies every month. People shouting, "Oompa Loompa" on the street.
More from The Stir: Your Bikini Wax May Be Bad for Your Health
I'm guessing you would've somehow addressed the issue before your kid turned burnt orange, right? See, 15-year-old Hannah Norman's parents didn't do that. And I don't get it. As the mom of a tween (so help me!) daughter, I'm beginning to understand the tricky parental balancing act of raising an adolescent: You want them to express themselves and encourage their individuality and make their own mistakes, but sometimes you HAVE to step in, don't you? Before things get too out of hand?
Hannah's parents didn't do that. In fact, her fitness instructor dad bought her a spray-tan machine for her bedroom and paid for her habit. Meanwhile, poor Hannah was caught in a downward-spiral, getting sucked into a disorder that was beginning to destroy her life:
"My skin was completely stained and I couldn't get the orange residue off," she said.
For two years I never saw my real skin color. I just kept re-applying the tan to cover up the awful mess that my skin was in underneath. I used so much fake tan over that period that my skin is now allergic to the chemicals.
I couldn't stop myself. I loved being really dark and I wanted to look like Snooki so I spray-tanned myself every day.
People used to abuse me in the street but it didn't bother me because I wanted to stand out. Wherever I went, people noticed me and I liked that.
Poor kid. Her parents say they begged her to stop, but what kind of a mixed message is that?! Buy a girl her own spray-tan machine and give her hundreds of dollars every month to use it ... and then "beg" her to give up the obsession?

If one of my kids ever developed a similar problem, I hope to god I would have the sense and strength to nip it in the bud.
Why do you think Hannah's parents let her spray-tan obsession get out of control?

Damon and Katherine
Comments266this wiki
" | I never got to say what I needed to say to you. I'm sorry. You blame me for who you are.. and I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I turned you. I'm sorry that you didn't get to die as a forgotten nobody on a bloody battlefield and that your father didn't get to live another day to be disgraced by you. Damon, I'm sorry that I gave your life purpose. Passion. Drive. Desire. I'm sorry that you are who you are.. because I'm the one that taught you how to love. | " |
The relationship between Damon Salvatore and Katherine Pierce has been complicated since their meeting in 1864, when Katherine stayed in their estate and Damon was serving in the Confederate army. Damon fell deeply in love with Katherine, but unbeknownst to him, she'd also been seeing his brother Stefan, sparking the brothers' lifelong rivalry. Their relationship ended when the town began eradicating the vampires. She was then taken away, and Damon and Stefan were shot by their own father while in an attempt to save her, causing the latters' turning into vampires. Damon since then, has spent the following 150 years obsessed with freeing her from her tomb, only to find out that she was never in it in the first place.
Katherine returns to his life in The Return. Damon initially acts flippant towards her, however she seduces him before telling him that she never loved him. Throughout the following seasons, Damon's feelings for Katherine have dwindled while Katherine still attempts to seduce him from time to time. It is later revealed that Katherine had in fact loved him and his brother, but would ultimately choose her own safety over them.
They are known as "Datherine" and "Kamon" by fans.
Katherine and Damon's first scene together in Season 1 was when Damon and Katherine were in bed together in Children of the Damned. Katherine told Damon, "Stop it!" while laughing, and he then said, "Make me". Katherine turned around and showed her vampire face and growled. Katherine's maid Emily then walked in on the two, and told Katherine that her friend Pearl wanted to see her. Katherine told Damon that the 'fun was over" then he says "Mmm, no".Then Katherine kissed him. Katherine dressed in a corset and talked with Pearl outside about the townspeople hunting for vampires. After Katherine is exposed in Blood Brothers, Damon becomes desperate to rescue her.
He hits the man holding the key to the vampire wagon over the head, grabbing the key out of the man's pocket and opening the wagon which imprisoned Katherine. He and Stefan took her out, and removed her muzzle. They try to remove the ropes which hold Katherine, but Damon gets shot. Stefan abandons Katherine and rushes over to Damon. He picks up a gun but is shot as well. The two brothers die, and Katherine doesn't care whether or not she ever sees Damon again, but says to Stefan that she loves him and promises that they will be together again, just before he dies.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries
Season TwoKatherine makes her return to Mystic Falls, claiming to have returned to resume her relationship with her love, Stefan. She goes to the Salvatore Boarding House to say goodbye to Damon. He says that he would rather kill than kiss her, and she then says, "Kiss me, Damon. Or kill me. We both know you're only capable of one." He turns away from her, but she super-speeds in front of him, and pushes him to the ground. He pushes her onto the ground and super-speeds on top of her, while holding her neck with his hand. He debates over whether or not to kiss her, and eventually kisses her. She then says, "That's more like it." The two nearly have sex, but then Damon says to Katherine that he has a question. He says that if she tells him the truth, he will forget everything about how he loved her in the past 145 years and they can go back to the fireworks of having sex. She then says that she already knows the question and the question's answer. She tells him that she never loved him-it was always Stefan. This leaves Damon heartbroken, and Katherine leaves the house. Katherine then becomes enemies with Stefan, Elena, Damon and the others. In Masquerade, Katherine goes to the Lockwoods' Masquerade Ball, impersonating Elena. She kills Aimee Bradley in front of Stefan, and threatens to kill party-goers unless Stefan and Damon give her the moonstone. They fight with Katherine, but Katherine's witch friend Lucy casts a spell to link Elena to Katherine. Pools of blood begin appearing on Elena's back as Katherine gets staked by the Salvatore Brothers. Katherine is almost about to get staked by Damon, until Jeremy rushes in, delivering the news that Elena is getting hurt, too. Damon spares Katherine. Lucy comes in with the moonstone after realizing that there was another Bennett at the party. She gives Katherine the moonstone, but Katherine suffocates when the moonstone is placed in her hands. At the end of the episode, Katherine runs around the tomb, and Damon arrives to seal her in. She pleads with him, but he shuts the tomb door, leaving Katherine screaming and crying in the tomb. In The Dinner Party Damon brought Katherine blood and clean clothes. The episode ended with Katherine waiting for Damon under his shower, not surprised to see him alive. In The House Guest Katherine, posing as Elena, greeted Damon with morning. Not falling for her, he pushed her to the wall but she continued playing along. In the next scene, she revealed herself.In As I Lay Dying, Damon has been bitten by a werewolf and is slowly dying something that Katherine finds upsetting and says to Damon, " 145 years..no last goodbye?" showing that she did care for Damon which was already evident since her original plan was to turn both Damon and Stefan so they could all be together. Damon remarks that she didn't get a goodbye and to 'enjoy eternity alone'. Later, Klaus gives the cure to Katherine to give to Damon. She arrives in time to give it to him and tells him that she owed him and then, turns to Elena and tells her, "it's okay to love them both. I did" This shows that Katherine really loved both Stefan and Damon. Season ThreeIn The End of The Affair Katherine calls Damon and says she knows where Stefan is and it turns out she was right. In Disturbing Behavior she returns to Mystic Falls and poses as Elena without anyone knowing, She knocks on Damon`s door making him thinks it's Elena coming to apologize until he realizes it's Katherine . She asks him if he wants to go leave town with her temporarily on a road trip and he says yes. During the road trip, in The Reckoning, Katherine starts to interrogate Damon about his and Elena's relationship where they eventually make out but Damon stops her by saying that Katherine just doesn't do it for him anymore. Later, Damon discovers that Katherine has kidnapped Jeremy so she can use him to track down Mikael. Damon askes Katherine for his phone, who somehow stole it from him, and finds out Klaus is back in Mystic Falls and gets back in his car to travel back to Mystic Falls. Katherine tries to him by saying that the Damon she knew wouldn't be so stupid, Damon replies that he wouldn't have done it for her which upsets her. While Damon is back in Mystic Falls, Katherine with Jeremy's help discovers the resting place of Mikael.In Smells Like Teen Spirit, Katherine is still trying to wake Mikael where Damon calls her, telling her to speed up the awakening pocess. In the end, Katherine is attacked by Mikael as he starts to feed on her. In Homecoming, Katherine returns to town posing as Elena again to help Damon and Elena take down Klaus, but the plan is failed when Stefan shows up to save Klaus. However, in the end, it was reveled that Katherine planned for Stefan to save Damon because Damon would have die along with Klaus. She also confesses to Stefan that she'd loved him, but also loved Damon . Katherine's quote from this scene was "I loved you. I've loved Damon too. Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness...no matter how easy it is to turn it off- it just keeps trying to fight it's way back in. Sometimes i let it..." Season FourThey were reunited in American Gothic. When Damon and Stefan met Katherine with Rebekah at the restaurant, Stefan finds out that Katherine was using Elijah, Damon gave her kind of sad look. After this scene, we see Katherine in her house together with Damon and Rebekah, to gave them the cure, which was fake. After Rebekah goes upstairs, Damon and Katherine remain alone. We even see Katherine smile at Damon's jokes. When her ex-lover puts his hand in tank full of vervain water, we see fear in Katherine's eyes. But right after that she showes his head in the very same tank, grabbed the fake cure and went on the run from Rebekah. In the next scene with Katherine, she's trying to convince Elijah into doing a deal with Klaus. After her miserable fail to convince him, she manipulates him with her charm. The one we saw her use on Mason Lockwood. As for Damon, he didn't mention Katherine in this episode after their last scene together. In The Originals Katherine came happy to Salvatore Boarding house and told them that Klaus is gone. But she looked too happy for someone who lost the love of her life. Later we found out that she still has her emotions turned on. She gets angry at Elena, because she turned Elijah against her (he didn't make the deal with Klaus). After that she lets her cell doors open, so her doppelganger could escape, kill people and then fell guiltness, after she turns her emotions back on. In the next Damon and Katherine scene, the two are in the library and taunt each other with boyfriend/girlfriend problems. Katherine sits in Damon's lap In the very same scene, Katherine sits in Damon's lap, plays with his hair and uses her sexy voice to talk to him. Before anything else could happen, Stefan interupted them and she told Damon, that she left Elena out.In Graduation Katherine tried to kill Elena, but the last one used the cure on her. In her defense of wanting to kill her, Katherine said that it was because Bonnie didn't make her immortal like Silas was and because Elena had a better life. But that was right after Elena chose Damon and we don't know where Katherine was at that moment. Referring to Elena having a better life, may be that Elena got to be happy with Damon, while Damon insisted that he despised Katherine. We don't know yet if one of the reasons for wanting to kill Elena, was jealousy.
Season Five
In Season Five, Katherine seeks protection from Damon knowing he still has at least has some feelings hidden deep down inside, but he sells her out to Slias who drains her of the cure.

Season 5
- While Damon claimed many times that his love for Katherine was real, it's unclear if it is true based on two main examples:
- The fact that, while Damon declared Katherine never compelled him, that proved to be false in a flashback.
- Damon may have had a sire bond to her, which would explain his loyalty to her years after they departed. It could have been broken when he discovered her manipulative personality and how she used him and Stefan. (Julie Plec has said outright that Damon was not sired to Katherine, his devotion was simply love.)

Military martial arts training in North Vancouver
A fit-looking guy with steely blue eyes, goatee and shortly cropped hair, Jackson Loychuk isn't somebody you'd want to mess with.
He has a black belt in Hapkido and he's also studied other martial arts. Plus, he can fight like Jason Bourne.
I knew him in high school. At Carson Graham secondary he was into boxing and wrestling. In his early 20s, searching for something "more practical" he took classes with the Wolfe brothers, Dennis and Bill, both of whom had military backgrounds and were teaching a style of self defence called "defendo" — essentially military martial arts.
In 1999 Loychuk opened up his own gym in North Van, which is now called Mil-Spec Martial Arts and Fitness.
Since then, he's trained all sorts of guys using the defendo-style method. From cops and soldiers to doctors, lawyers, contractors — and even journalists.
So, I figured he was just the right guy to give me a crash course on self defence.
I was headed down to a prison in Washington State to write a story about a book club for inmates. Most of them had been convicted of murder.
When I learned that there would be no prison guards in the club meeting room and found out the title of the book to be discussed, Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov, I gulped.
So, I asked Loychuk to give me a private, two-hour session before I left.
Turns out Loychuk is a military martial arts buff. He notes that it was 007 — James Bond — who first brought military-style close-quarter battle techniques to larger audiences. That's because Ian Flemming, the English author who wrote the Bond books, was a British operative in the Second World War who'd been trained in defendo, he adds.
Defendo was the expanded version of a hand-to-hand combat style created by cop William Fairburn for the Shanghai police that fused boxing, fencing, wrestling, jujutsu and some other martial arts. At the time, martial arts-trained thugs were regularly pummelling the local cops, so Fairburn wanted to better equip them for what he called "gutter fighting."
Then, during the Second World War, the fighting technique was taught to British special forces and spies.
It's also the same style of close-quarter battle techniques in the Jason Bourne movies — a series Loychuk praises for its fighting authenticity.
I didn't expect to fight like Bond or Bourne after only one session, but I was hoping to learn a few survival skills — at least until guards arrived.
But before we got going on the padded floor inside his gym, Loychuk wanted answers.
What did I know about the people in the book club? Where would I be sitting? Would the inmates be on the opposite side of the table? Were the chairs locked down?
"You need to take the whole environment into consideration," he said.
He advised against taking a pen or pencil.
Later, he showed me a cool trick, taking a magazine and rolling it up in a certain way to make it as hard as a steel pipe.
He advised me to sit close to the door during my visit.
He talked about posture. I needed to show the prisoners they were not in charge without being confrontational.
In case something happened, I needed to know about the "startle response."
When attacked, the natural reaction is to retreat, he explained.
Instead he showed me how to put my guard up — using a technique called the "icebreaker" to mitigate any damage caused by a flurry of blows — and move forward to clinch an attacker.
He discussed levels of force and demonstrated moves aimed at the eyes and throat.
"Stuff that incapacitates really quickly."
He then demonstrated a choke hold on me. After I tapped out, he showed me how to escape that same move.
Finally, he showed me how to choke a would-be assailant.
Before I left, he went over a colour-coded threat awareness spectrum.
If you keep yourself in a highly elevated state for a prolonged period — your adrenaline pumping — you will quickly burn out, so you must be able to ramp up and down.
The spectrum runs like this: white (meditative), yellow (aware, still no danger), orange (perceived threat, ready for action), red (action) — that's when you "go" he explained.
I tried to remember everything Loychuk had taught me as we parked in the visitors' lot at the prison in Washington State. At the front desk, a friendly prison guard fingered through some paperwork and then made a phone call. She later explained she didn't have the proper paperwork to admit me inside the prison.
I stood stunned — partly relived, I admit — as the book club volunteer I'd driven down with disappeared behind a sliding iron door.
When I got back to Vancouver, I signed up for regular classes with Loychuk.
I wasn't planning on a return to Monroe anytime soon but I'd enjoyed my session and liked idea of learning some self defence techniques.
I wasn't alone. The others in the class, which included one woman, were just everyday people — not a bunch of hoody sporting guys decorated in tattoos looking to become lethal weapons.
Loychuk says the classes appeal to the "average guy who's looking for different way to work out and learn some practical stuff."
Practical stuff that could be used just in case you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time and there's no other alternative.
"Who doesn't want to look out for their family or themselves?" he asks.
Truth is, says Loychuk, the more time spent training, the less likely you are to find yourself in a bad spot.
After some training, his students carry themselves differently, he says. They don't look like a target or victim.
And they're not likely to get themselves into trouble because they are able to decode their environment.
As well has higher fitness — and it's a much different level of fitness than you'd get just working out on a treadmill, believe me — he says his students walk out the gym's doors with "a lot of self-confidence because you have practical skill that will work when it needs to."
Plus, as he says, who wouldn't want to learn to fight like Jason Bourne?

South Seas fantasies beckon with the neo-exotica group, Don Tiki. They draw inspiration from the original Mid-Century masters of the exotica sound, Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter and bring their evocative music into the 21st Century. In fact, Martin Denny gave the band his seal of approval when he played on their 1997 debut album, The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki. Further deepening Don Tiki's authenticity is its percussionist and bird caller, Lopaka Colon, son of Augie Colon, who had the same role in Denny's band.
They have performed at the fabled tiki palace, The Kahiki in Colombus, OH, headlined Wassermusik, a summer music festival in Berlin, played Las Vegas several times, stole the show at Tiki Oasis `11 and, of course, rule the jungle kingdom of Honolulu, their home base. Don Tiki's Hot Lava Holiday shows at the Doris Duke Theatre in Honolulu, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles had attendees simultaneously laughing and dancing in the aisles
When they appeared on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, he raved, "Tiki supergroup Don Tiki knows the world, the subculture of tiki…it really doesn't get much better than this!"
Don Tiki is a creative collaboration of Lloyd "Fluid Floyd" Kandell and Kit "Perry Coma" Ebersbach. The band features Hawaii's top musicians with cumulative experience ranging from jazz fusion to world beat to the Honolulu Symphony to Waikiki Showrooms. Their music will transport you to an island paradise where sensual tropical fantasies still exist - especially after that third Mai Tai.
Kick back and soak up a little TLC…Tiki Lounge Culture with fresh new exotica. Don Tiki's exotic and danceable tiki-tunes are brimming with haunting melodies, pulsating Polynesian polyphonics, and sultry undulating rhythms.

Bob, Johnny and Rosanne too
Thursday, July 29th, 2010We had a great trip to The Big Tent Festival at the weekend. Our local festival in Fife. Great music, superb food and the beer from The Black Isle Brewery was OK too!
We had a wonderful weekend,all your senses are activated at this festival. On Sunday that extra sense kicked in too….
Fiona is in training for the Loch Ness Marathon (more about running soon) so she is dragging me out on some of the runs. We had a sticky but enjoyable run up into The Lomonds and were trotting back into Falkland, salivating at the thought of a Puddledubler for brunch!
We heard a fellow runner coming up quick behind and an old fella and his dog appeared. The smiling collie danced along, tongue hanging out with pure pleasure and his lean owner slowed to our pace for a chat. It turns out Bob owns the fiddle shop in Falkland; buying, selling repairing. Bob has done that run or similar every day for 33 years! It was hard to tell if he was 53 or 73!!
Anyway we got to chatting about the festival and the music. Bob casually dropped in to conversation, in the nicest possible way, that Rosanne Cash was popping in to the shop on Monday and oh yeah he had met her dad too!
Well this was confirmed to us in the best possible way as an emotional Rosanne waved to Bob, standing beside us in the crowd, and gave him a mention. The Cash fans buzzed around him asking if he could pass a book on to be signed, showing him letters received from Johnny researching his family history.
Rosanne sang as if she was singing to a crowd full of friends, the sun shone and we felt, well something!

WRSC (Impromptu) Cruise to Baltimore OpSail 2012
June 14 - 18, 2012 Cruise Leaders : Vicky & Al Lohman, Charlene & Mic Osman 6/14 (Thursday) Headed up to Baltimore Inner Harbor for the OpSail2012 Sailibration of the War of 1812. Left the dock at 10am, crossed under the Bay Bridge at noon and arrived at Ft. McHenry at 3pm, just in time to watch the Blue Angels perform. We were right underneath them. After the show we had to wait just a short while for the harbor restrictions to lift before proceeding up to Hendersons Wharf Marina to our slip. Vicky & Al were already there, as was Joe & Pat Casey (on the same dock). Settled in and had cocktails on Rhiannon before going into Fells Point for dinner. 6/15 (Friday) Had breakfast with Vicky & Al and then we all took the water taxi down to Inner Harbour and started touring the tall ships. Went went on Gloria (Columbia), Eagle (USCG), Cisne Branco (Brazil), Guayas (Equador), Cuauhtemoc of Mexico and others. In the evening we all took the water taxi back down to Inner Harbor. The place is beautiful at night with all the tall ships lit up and everything so festive. The Indonesian boat was still open at 8pm, so we went aboard and there was a party going on there. Sailors and Marines singing Karaoke and having a good time. We posed with them in traditional costumes. What a wild night! Again, the ride through the harbor was beautiful. 6/16 (Saturday) Walked from Fells Point to Inner Harbour. Toured the NOAA and Corps of Engineers boats. Crowds are getting bigger today. Walked back through Harbor East. Then went to the end of our docks to watch the Blue Angels perform their real show. Fantastic viewing location. Got some great pictures. Maggie & Erick Chiang and Sue & Greg Whalen showed up and we all enjoyed cocktails aboard Rhiannon, then went up to Slainte Pub for dinner and met up with Kyrah & John von Senden (for a total of 13 people for dinner). Quite an affair. 6/17 (Sunday) Got an early start (around 8am) and left the slip so we could make it past the restricted zone for the final Blue Angels air show. Passed the Key bridge at 9am. Not bad at all for travel time. 6/17 (Monday) Iolar departs. Attendees : Charlene & Mic Osman (Nightwind) Vicky & Al Lohman (Rhiannon) Pat & Joe Casey (Iolar) Maggie & Erick Chiang Sue, Liz & Greg Whalen Kyrah & John von Senden more photos |

Since 1955, Yad Vashem has worked to fulfill its mandate to preserve the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust by collecting their names, the ultimate representation of a person's identity. Millions of victims remain unidentified. Yad Vashem urgently calls upon Jewish communities to recover their names through a worldwide Names Recovery Project. Unless we assume collective responsibility for completing this vital mission, some of them may be lost forever. This is a race against time, before those who remember them are no longer with us.
For more information visit Yad Vahem's Remembrance Page.

Charlotte is a city that tends to look forward, not behind. Were not keen on history.
So we must forgive those who like to say the Democratic National Convention is the biggest thing to ever hit town. In fact, the DNC expected to draw about 35,000 people is a distant No. 2.
In the first week of June 1929, Charlotte, then population 82,000, was overrun with about 75,000 guests. It was the host city for the 39th reunion of Confederate veterans, and there are parallels with next weeks event.
Charlotte felt honored to be chosen as the home of the reunion and it spent a year getting ready. A memorial hall was built in only four months for events. Image conscious even then, Charlotte welcomed visitors to the Queen City of the New South.
Hotels were stuffed. Each day the reunion drew nearer, appeals were published in the newspapers for people to offer rooms in their homes for the delegates. Cots were set up at Queens College, Central High School and Thompson Orphanage. Tents went up in Independence Park.
Charlottes police force of 45 was doubled by reinforcements sent by other cities. Traffic restrictions went into effect and parking was banned on some uptown streets. Unattended vehicles would be towed, the police warned.
And the big-time media came. Fox Sound News Reel sent a team with newfangled recording equipment and cameras on top of a truck. Charlottes papers were crammed with convention news. Confederates Storm City on Eve of Meeting, shouted The Charlotte News. Charlotte Surrenders to Confederate Forces said a banner headline in the Observer.
There were about 5,000 soldiers attending, ranging in age from 83 to 107. With them came about 70,000 family members and other hangers-on.
Speeches were made, some forward-looking. Top generals were the stars of the show. There were parties and entertainers. Congress appropriated money to send the Marine Band.
On the final day, there was a street review that drew an estimated 125,000 observers. Every available car in town was pressed into service in a three-mile caravan to carry the veterans in the parade.
And after four days of festivity, the visitors vanished.
Next weeks convention will be a big moment for Charlotte. How long it will be remembered is another question. Were not good with history.

2013's Most Popular Stats - #9
Daily Stat | December 20, 2013 | Topics: Retirement
76%: Percent of Americans who do not have money to cover at least 6 months of expenses
#9: Little Saved for a Rainy Day - In today's low yield environment, income is almost as difficult to find as an umbrella during an unexpected shower. Many Americans are living from one paycheck to the next, with barely any emergency savings. A new survey from Bankrate.com reports that 76% of Americans do not have enough money in their savings account to cover at least six months of expenses. Without such a cushion, participants cannot be prepared to withstand unexpected events like the loss of a job, a medical emergency, or another unexpected incident. Worse yet, 27% of Americans have no savings at all.
Help participants focus on what they can control, like building good savings habits. Share this short, animated video that can get them engaged with their retirement plan.

Full review
Not everyone needs a hi-tech digital camera that's packed with the latest gadgets. The Nikon Coolpix L22 comes in at just £80, while offering a 12-megapixel resolution and a 3.6x zoom. But can you expect a decent camera at this price?
Plastic fantastic
The L22 makes a very good first impression. It's chunky, solid and comes in a choice of red, silver and black. It's made of plastic, but the high-gloss, lacquered finish on the front, and the smooth, matte black on the back are really rather classy.
The L22 starts up quickly, and the 75mm (3-inch) display on the back is bright, crisp and clear. With a resolution of 230,000 pixels, it's really very good for a camera of this price. The zoom range is adequate rather than exceptional, and it's not particularly fast, but the autofocus is okay, so the L22 is a pretty decent camera to use overall.
It runs on a pair of AA batteries, which is fine if you're the type to only use your camera occasionally. In fact, Nikon quotes a battery life of 240 shots with ordinary alkaline cells and up to 660 with lithium disposables, so the L22 should be good on longer expeditions too.
The controls are very straightforward, as you'd hope for in a camera designed for novices and casual snappers. There's an 'easy auto' mode that does everything for you; a good selection of scene modes; and a 'smart portrait' mode that uses face-detection and smile-detection software to make sure your subject's wearing a happy face before the camera takes the picture. Finally, there's a standard auto mode in which you can adjust the camera settings before you take a shot.
The L22's pictures are decent, as long as you're shooting in good light and the camera uses a low ISO. When the light gets worse, so does the quality -- and the risk of blurring. The L22 has electronic vibration reduction rather than optical image stabilisation, and it's really not much good at controlling camera shake.
ISO madness
What's really bizarre is that there's no way of setting the ISO manually. You can adjust some of the settings -- like the image size, white balance and colour options (black and white, sepia and so on) -- and decide whether to take a single shot or shoot continuously, but you can't change the ISO.
Nikon clearly thinks the sort of people it's aiming the L22 at won't want to get involved in ISO technicalities, despite the fact that manually choosing a low ISO (and bracing the camera) is the single most important way to get any kind of quality from a compact digital camera. Why not make the white balance automatic instead?
The L22's budget background has an impact on the zoom range, too. Its minimum focal length is 37mm, which is a pain in the neck if you're trying to shoot in confined spaces. There are plenty of compacts around now with wide-angle zooms that are much more useful.
The Nikon Coolpix L22 is rather simplistic, and it's not the most versatile camera around, but it's very well made and easy to use. In good lighting, the 3.6x zoom and 12-megapixel sensor deliver the kind of quality you can get from cameras that cost two or three times as much.

Nightlife: Its pretty solid but than again i am on a sports team here. If your not on a sports team or a pretty girl it can be hard to get into parties sometimes, but that being said they are a blast once you get there.
Nightlife: While I almost always know of something happening Wednesday - Saturday, it's usually only one party a night. Most of the parties are pretty much the same, too. They're giant grind fests that are hot and sweaty, unless you go to an Atwater suite, in which case there is still grinding. However, Atwater parties are usually smaller and they have lots of free alcohol in the fridges. Regardless of the limitations, you can pretty much always find something to do and I've had plenty of fun in my short time at Midd. It's definitely a work hard, play hard kind of school.
Nightlife: Minimal, Sketchy – There's no real organized nightlife, just sketchy parties in the basements of "social houses."
Nightlife: No Parties Last Past Midnight – Public safety breaks everything up so there is nothing to do. the only options end up being social house basements which can get old very quickly
Nightlife: Get a group of friends and party with them, don't rely on the "scene"

What Middlebury lacks in downtown nightlife it nearly makes up for in on-campus entertainment, and that's saying something, considering the town is totally dead after 10 p.m. There are three bars in town, and no clubs to speak of. Bars typically begin closing around midnight, and the nearest entertainment alternatives are a 50-minute drive north. The town is extremely conservative when it comes to noise-making and all types of partying. On the other hand, the College is sympathetic to a student's need to forget all of the weekdays' cares on the weekend. In light of this, the Middlebury College Activities Board (MCAB) and other student organizations often sponsor bands, parties, and famous entertainers on Fridays and Saturdays. There are always plays, instrumental concerts, dance performances, and other such events held in the Center for the Arts (CFA) and in other venues around campus, as well. As for the after-party, dorm room debauchery and drinking is rampant, and social houses hold raucous, yet often lame, beer blowouts nearly every weekend.
If you don't plan on bringing a car to campus during your time at Middlebury, you may begin to feel extremely claustrophobic by sophomore year. The excitement of beer and grinding with sweaty strangers tends to wear off rather quickly, and everyone's ready to explore a more varied social scene after a while. Drinking in a 4-by-4 room with your friends never loses its charm, but eventually you'll probably be itching to get away to Burlington or Montreal one weekend.
Two Brothers Tavern is a favorite among locals, students, and visitors alike for its great food, live entertainment, and welcoming atmosphere. Students 21-and-up flock to the bar/lounge downstairs on Thursday nights.

Quick, someone post a video of themself doing the little Tiffany strut-dance.

Edit. Goddamn you J$.
Debbie Gibson is pregnant with my two-headed love child.
non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli
Here's a few choice selections from Feb 20
Kurt Cobain
The Round Mound of Rebound
Patty Hearst
Sidney Poitier
Robert Altman
Cindy Crawford
Ivana Trump
Cause he's a hack. I don't like him. Judges are free to act with impunity in this matter. You can appeal your case to the French judge, if you'd like. But 115 is my final score.
I'm not the only judge but I will go take a look.
Dude, you only got two names there. Get your shit together and post a complete list. Come correct. So far, I got +5 for Burgess and +10 for Harrison, but only because he was a Beatle.
A sampling for April 30:
Queen Mary II of England
Hans Poelzig
Alice B. Toklas
Cloris Leachman
Willie Nelson
Larry Niven
Burt Young
Edie Sedgwick
Jill Clayburgh
Annie Dillard
King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden
Jane Campion
Lars von Trier
Isiah Thomas
Adrian Pasdar
Darren Emerson
Lloyd Banks
Kirsten Dunst
And, for what it's worth, Hitler, Lester Bangs, Muddy Waters, and Sergio Leone died on the 30th.
wikipedia used to say that on my birthday janet jackson exposed her breast at halftime of the superbowl, but it looks like that has been removed. but it did happen. i was pissed - she totally overshadowed my special day.
Clark Gable
Langston Hughes
Boris Yeltsin
Rick James
Pauly Shore
oh, these too. these made me laugh.
2003 - Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrates during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard.
2004 - 251 people are trampled to death and 244 injured in a stampede at the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
i remember when i heard about the columbia i was in the car with my mom and some of my friends on the way to the mall... another birthday ruined.
If you want to win. Which is looking ever more unlikely.
Wow. I'd say 25 for Cobain, just cause it's all still pretty fresh in the collective mind, 15 each for Barkley, Hearst, and Poitier, and an even 10 for Altman. See that's 75 right there.
95. Kirsten Dunst carries SARS.
You're not even trying to win, are you?
+20 for Yeltsin and James though.
I give up. We need a substitute judge for awhile. Volunteers?
Nate Dogg
Fat Joe
Lil Romeo
Bicycle, you're keeping me sane.

A plain paper shopping bag will fly high once it's been painted and tied with string. Use our template to create the badge.
Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
For easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with illustrations, print out the instructions page.
1. Cut the bottom off the bag.

 2. Lay the bag flat. Draw a dot about one-third down the center of the bag. Mark an X through the dot. Cut along the X. You'll be left with two "wings."

 3. Turn the bag over. Fold the wings to the front and out.

Paint the Wonder Pets badge in the center of the kite as shown. Then, paint the remainder of the front of the bag red (for Tuck), blue (for Linny) or green (for Ming Ming). Let the paint dry completely.
5. Cut a 2-foot piece of string for the tail and tie the short ribbon pieces down the string.

 6. Put a piece of tape at the corner of each wing to strengthen it, then punch a hole through each. Cut two 1-foot pieces of string and attach to the punched holes. Cut a 6- to 8-foot piece of string and tie to the shorter strings to make a "v" shape. Knot the end of the long string to a stick or cardboard tube and wrap the string around it.

 7. Cut a vent at the bottom of the kite (in the center) and attach the tail.

 8. Tape the wings to the side of the bag at the bottom only.
Trim the corners to make rounded edges.

Minus Twenty-Two:
The Raiders' long nightmare at linebacker is officially over. The team on Friday finally, after three years of off-the-field stupidity and on-the-field mediocrity, cut middle linebacker/headache Rolando McClain.
This has been a long time coming. McClain, the Raiders' 8th overall pick in 2010, probably sealed his fate when he got into a confrontation with Dennis Allen in Week 12 that led to a two-game suspension. After he came back he was demoted to the scout team in practice and left on the inactive list for the Raiders' final three games.
His hilarious arrest in January only made Reggie McKenzie's decision easier. That's when McClain, in Decatur, Ala., allegedly signed a citation for a window tint violation with ******* y'all," which, believe it or not, can get you arrested. We highly advise against doing it.
In 2011, of course, was arrested on another incident in Decatur after firing a gun next to somebody's head. That arrest gave us this amazing photo (really, that photo is pheno...

Few countries have moved as aggressively ? and as successfully ? as the United Kingdom in transforming the provision of public services. The private delivery of federaland local public services in the United Kingdom exceeds $150 billion, up from $60 billion in 1995.
Transparency is essential to building credibility when dealing with public funds and the public trust, and numerous proposals now before Congress seek to enhance transparency in government contracting. Their essentialgoal is laudable even though some of these proposals are driven bya misperception that fraud is rampant in federal contracting ? aperception even the special inspector general for Iraq reconstructionhas repeatedly challenged.
I went ahead and did it. Everyone has been talking about Web 2.0, and I finally figured I'd better get on board before the Generation Y crowd eats my lunch and leaves me in the dust with the rest of the baby boomers.
Mention of Web 2.0 often elicits bewilderment, mild aversion or downright confusion. Social-networking tools and technologies have become widespread, but not yet in government or the federal contracting industry, where they prompt adoption anxiety.
Some in Congress believe the proportion of federal contracts that are competitivelyawarded has dropped precipitously even though competition levels are at about the same proportion today as they were 10 years ago.
With Memorial Day on our minds, it is fitting to look at how technology is benefiting our warfighters returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. All veterans - but wounded troops in particular - face a multitude of physical, emotional and professional challenges when returning to civilian life, not the least of which could be unemployment.
To the credit of former GSAAdministrator Lurita Doan and Acting AdministratorDavid Bibb, GSA's Multiple Award Schedule AdvisoryPanel is moving forward. The next meeting of the 15-memberpanel was scheduled to be held May 22 at the GSA auditorium.Such meetings are open to industry.
Just as in every campaign that has preceded it, the issue ofjobs has been at center stage throughout the 2008 presidentialcampaign. Candidates talk about creating jobs, buildingsustainable domestic industries and so forth. Ironically, onetopic that never comes up in those discussions is one of thenation's most significant sources of high-quality, well-compensatedemployment: government contracting.
Every spring, Washington Technology puts out the annual Top 100 contractor list. And each year, starting about three days after that issue is delivered, I start getting calls with questions that go something like this: " ... How can I move my company up into that top bracket?" There are a few simple concepts you have to understand to succeed in this market.
The federal procurement system is the largest and amongthe cleanest public-sector procurement systems in theworld. It counts transparency and competition as its highestvalues.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Volunteer fire departments are noble, protecting smaller communities that can't afford full-time paid firefighters. The volunteers deserve praise for their life-protecting service.
Kanawha County has 27 VFDs and a half-dozen paid departments. The county commission gives each $20,000 yearly support from taxpayer money. The rest of their funding comes from various government grants, public fees and community money-raising events.
The VFDs have an obligation to operate responsibly -- but one has become a headache, causing endless confusion and problems.
Chesapeake's nonprofit volunteer fire department reaps millions from state-authorized bingo and raffle gambling -- yet it says nearly all the money goes for prizes, and the VFD can't pay its gasoline bills. The department fought fiercely to conceal its finances, and even asked Kanawha County commissioners to hide its records from the public.
Why do leaders of the community VFD want to prevent Chesapeake residents and Kanawha taxpayers from learning what it does with public and semi-public funds?
No wonder county commissioners have been practically tearing out their hair during a long-running confrontation with the organization.
Last year, the situation became so intolerable that commissioners ordered an $18,000 audit of the VFD. Auditors were stymied because many records were withheld or missing. VFD board chairman Steve Johnson refused to say how much he earns from a radio sales-and-repair business operated by the fire department. Auditors said he told them "what he earns is no one's business."
The VFD board allegedly authorized a total of $80,000 in salaries for Johnson and his son, but records of the board meeting can't be found.
State tax reports say the Chesapeake unit grossed $4.2 million from bingo and raffles in a past two-year period, but netted only $11,000 after paying prize winnings. Few records can be found to verify the totals. Other records show hundreds of payments to unidentified people in amounts of $100 to $260.
More recently, Danny Forinash of the state Tax Department says the VFD reported $2.2 million gambling in 2010, with $169,300 earnings after prizes and expenses -- and $1.9 million in 2011, netting $124,475 after overhead.
It's disturbing for a quasi-governmental agency to cause so many problems. Total openness is needed.
As we said, VFDs are community treasures -- but they should behave responsibly.

We work in close partnership with over 1,000 missions, providing flights and logistical support for their outreach to communities in developing nations.
These missions include aid agencies, missions, relief and development organisations, government departments, local churches and other national groups. Their work covers healthcare, emergency relief, development and the bringing of God's word.
We seek to promote the growth of the church, working with indigenous churches and groups to enable spiritual outreach.
We also support the work of many visiting churches as they encourage fledgling churches or those who have suffered persecution.
For example, in Guatemala we support a Bible teaching programme, training those who lead congregations in the villages. And in Arnhem Land we provide flights for local Aboriginal ministers, enabling them to share the Gospel in remote areas.
A great number of those we fly are mission organisations who seek to bring both physical and spiritual care to those in isolated regions. One such is Tearfund, the Christian relief and development agency working with a global network of churches to help eradicate poverty.
MAF make regular flights to Korr, northern Kenya, in support of Tearfund's education and food distribution amongst the Rendille and Samburu. We also support Tearfund's work in northern Uganda and southern Sudan.
In Tanzania, we support Haydom Hospital a missionary hospital that has operated since 1953. We fly a monthly medical safari, taking teams of doctors to remote villages to provide healthcare, vaccination programmes and mother-and-child clinics. Often, evangelists will join the safari and share the Gospel while the medical team are running clinics.
Non-Governmental Organisations
Across the developing world, thousands of non-governmental organisations provide relief and development services to communities affected by poverty, disease and conflict. Many of them are heavily reliant on air transport for safe, fast travel.
One such group is Medair, which responds to victims of war and disaster situations through emergency and rehabilitative projects. We regularly fly Medair in several African nations, bringing medical teams and supplies to the remote areas where they work.
In every country in which we operate, we do so with the support of the government and in some places provide flights for government backed development projects.
Examples include:

POLYWOOD® Vineyard Porch Swing
Classic and Durable Daniele from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer Love it. Nice and long - seats 3 comfortably. We bought separate d-ring bolts to install. Assembly a little tricky, but worked with some maneuvering. Definitely the highlight of our front porch. |
Great D from Ut I am very happy with this porch swing. The size and the quality are both wonderful and everything is working out great! |
porch swing Debra from Richmond, VA– Verified Buyer Only disappointment was the not very clear direction sheet. Not difficult but took some thinking. However, I have other pieces and all were the same issue. Love it looks great. |

LOOKS GREAT GRANNY from NORTH CAROLINA– Verified Buyer LOOKS GREAT ON OUR PORCH. SITS GOOD VERY COMFORTABLE. ALSO BOUGHT IT FOR IT DURABILITY. EASY TO INSTALL. |
Swing construction searay from Petoskey, MI– Verified Buyer This swing was a good purchase but assembly was an issue. The two holes for the screws that connect the back rest with the seat did not line up and had to be redrilled. Facing the swing the hole for the right arm rest at the top did line up but the hole was not threaded completely through. One trip to the hardware store for a tap and I was in business. All in all it is a good swing for the price. |

POLYWOOD manufactures casual outdoor furniture that you will be proud to own – for a lifetime.
POLYWOOD is a high performance wood lumber substitute manufactured from high density plastic. It consists of high density polyethylene resins, and select coloring and foaming agents. POLYWOOD is processed into a specification product that closely resemble painted and natural wood products that absorb no moisture, making them resistant to rotting, warping, cracking or splintering. In addition, POLYWOOD is compounded with permanent UV stabilized colors that eliminate the need for painting and staining, waterproofing, or stripping and resurfacing.
POLYWOOD products are impervious to many common corrosive substances including salt water as well as gasoline and hydrocarbon oils.
