Something to haul em withBigdog went for tractors I went for trailers:
18ft. Carson brakes on both axels. Not as good of deal that Bigdog got. We should be calling him Dirtydog. Good for you Bigdog
Nice aquisition How many Cubs can you safely haul on it - 2 or 3 Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Nice looking trailer Donny. I am sure its gonna get a lotta miles fast on it with 15 round trips to Texas & back. Is it a tilt bed?. You need to add some color to it to contrast all that black lest your gonna name it John`y.
Then came Bronson
18 footer will handle 2 cubs with ease with some room left over for implements.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem. My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that! http://www.cubtug.com
That's a sweet trailer there! How thick is the wood floor?? I have a 16footer like that but without the tilt at the end. Looking at that parkin spot; the first thing I'd get is a pair of those curved wheel chocks that go between the tires. Mine is red all over save the wood floor. I have some stake sides to make .....someday!........
My heavy trailer has a steel deck, but my light one is built like yours. It's easy to replace a plank. They are simply bowed and snap in place. You can maybe haul 3 Cubs if you dovetail two of them like they loaded them on flatcars...with the right fronts of each between the axles of the other. IH did it with a crane, but I think two good drivers could do it. My heavy trailer is 16', but the rear 2 1/2' is sloped. When I haul a wide and a narrow one, they fit on the flat part with the narrow fronts of the rear one between the wide rears of the front one. George Willer

Donny, I haven't had a trailer wide enough to do it, so I can't report first hand. With an 83" wide trailer, I'd be tempted to load the front one cross wise. For safety in loading, I'd provide some kind of stop to run against. I'd also add some kind of bulkhead to the front of the trailer to help keep the load out of your back pocket! All that might be handy if you have to move your brood long distance to TX. George Willer

Hey George, what brand of "wheel chuck" is that in front the rear tire of that back Cub
Guy '55 Cub, (but always shopp'n!) '02 Kub, '57 Ford 640
Milwaukee's best. It's one of the popular brands at our Portland get-together. George Willer
http://gwill.net The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
The planks on my trailer are under a piece of 2x steel on the back but only a 1 inch piece on the front. If cut to the right length, new wood can be slid under the rear, dropped into place and slid forward until it stops. This leaves each end held by one inch. When I got it, one screw held each plank from moving around. When I redecked, I never put any screws in. Now one has slid back enough to get out from under the front hold down and I can't get the &^%* back in place.
My dad's truck(s) had a 12 foot rack. It was fairly standard procedure to haul 2 tractors (larger than Cub size). Tricycle types were pretty easy. If they had wide fronts, they had to be overlapping like George suggested. You just had to load/unload them together. As far as I know, the legal width on all interstates is 102". State highways in most, but not all, states is the same. Others are 96". Length of a Cub is between those 2 figures. The trailer does not have to be as wide as the load, as long as overall is inside the limits. This doesn't mean you won't run into some moron with a badge. Also on a narrower deck, you are probably gong to end up with more overhang on whichever side the rear of the tractor is on. Since the rear is already the heavy end, you will end up with the weight off center. Being heavy on the left is preferable to the right because of the crown of the road.
Speaking of legal road stuff: If anywhere on your trailer it is over 80" wide, it has to have the three red lights in the middle of the back.

When Bank Employees Become Victims of a Robbery
Information, Referral, and Support for Victims, their Families, and Witnesses of Crime.
You've all seen a pebble drop into a pool of water and noticed the ripples which are produced by the impact of that pebble. A similar ripple occurs from person to person when a crime occurs.
As an employee, you have been exposed to a crime in your work setting. Even if you were not directly confronted during the incident, you may experience reactions from your exposure to the robbery or attempted robbery.
How people react to these events varies from person to person and is affected by individual factors such as how you usually handle stressful situations and what kind of support you have both inside and outside of work.
Your reaction may be immediate or may be delayed. You may experience symptoms that are physical, emotional, or cognitive (involving your thinking ability).
Employees who have been through a robbery or an attempted robbery report having a variety of experiences.
FEAR. They are afraid of leaving the bank, being in public, or being re-victimized. They are afraid the robber will find them or will come back.
HYPER-ALERTNESS. They find that they startle easily: They "jump" when suddenly approached by customers or when they hear loud sounds.
GUILT. They feel that they could have done something differently; they wonder if they could have prevented the incident, or if they didn't do something they should have.
ANGER. They are enraged that their life has been disrupted and that they no longer feel safe or in control.
ISOLATION. They feel that they are the only ones who are having reactions to the event; they feel isolated from family and friends, and they feel no one can understand what they have been through.
Irritability, which may be directed at family and friends;
Loss of motivation - feeling blue or depressed;
Apathy and indifference;
Chronic fatigue and flashbacks.
Awareness and understanding are crucial in beginning to deal effectively with this event in your life. You can begin by being aware that you MAY react in some of the ways we have discussed. Remember that your reactions are normal.
1. You may find that you react to sights, sounds, smells, and textures that were present at the time of the crime and which remind you of the incident.
2. Sometimes being exposed to a traumatic event may trigger memories of past events in your life. Perhaps you have been victimized before, or have lost someone close to you. You may once again find yourself experiencing feelings related to these earlier events.
3. Feelings of vulnerability and helplessness are frequent after victimization. One of the first things to pay attention to is your need to feel safe again. Take any precaution which will make you feel safer. Some examples might include:
Having someone drive you to work and pick you up at the end of the day.
Following procedures that will protect you from as much risk as possible at work or at home.
Making your daily schedule as predictable and routine as possible for awhile to return some control and stability in your life.
Support from all sources is especially important at this time to help the victim function normally after the incident. Typically, the levels of support include:
1. Your work group:
Often, the people you work with have gone through the trauma with you and know how you feel. Talk to each other about your feelings and support each other. Also, share the following with your co-workers:
Don't startle, surprise, or pretend to aim a real or imaginary gun at the victim.
Don't feel rejected when victims want time alone.
Healing takes an enormous amount of psychic energy. Be prepared for mood swings that include anger, depression, and the feeling that "nothing good ever happens to me."
2. Your community:
You may find this support in friends, professional counselors, the clergy, or other significant people in your life. And you can get help from the Victim-Witness Assistance Unit of the United States Attorney's Office.
3. Your family:
They will need to know what has happened and what to expect. They will react to your experience, but may not have the information needed to deal with it as you do. Please remember that children are very perceptive. Do not underestimate their ability to understand and deal with life's trauma. Let your child know that you are all right.
THE MEDIA. Although a spokesperson may have been designated to speak at your institution, you may also be contacted by the media. You have the right to decline comment.
PREPARING TO TESTIFY. If the robber is apprehended, you may need to attend a line-up and you may be needed as a witness to testify in court. A member of the Victim/Witness Unit of the United States Attorney's Office will keep you informed of the progress of your case and will help you through the criminal justice system. If you have any questions during this process, contact the Victim-Witness Assistance Unit of the United States Attorney's Office at 973-645-2893 or 973-297-2073.
SUMMARY. It is important to allow yourself time to heal at your own pace. It is important that you actively seek support from your family, friends, co-workers, and possibly professional counseling and victim support groups.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

Not sure how many times I've answered this, certainly lots:
There's a minor bug with LR4 that seems to affect many users, basically when you first export the Post Processing/Export Action field at the bottom of the Export dialog is blank. This is invalid, and causes the error that you are getting. So to get rid of the error simply eneter a valid option in that field (e.g. "Do Nothing" is fine) and the problem goes away.

Consumer Price Index, March 2012 to March 2013
April 17, 2013
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 1.5 percent from March 2012 to March 2013, the smallest increase since the 12 months ending July 2012. Over that period, the food index increased 1.5 percent and the energy index declined 1.6 percent.
Expenditure category | Percent change |
All items | 1.5 |
Medical care | 3.1 |
Transportation services | 3.1 |
Shelter | 2.2 |
Food | 1.5 |
New vehicles | 1.1 |
Apparel | 0.8 |
Used cars & trucks | 0.1 |
Energy | -1.6 |
The food at home index increased 1.0 percent over the past year, while the fruits and vegetables index rose 4.4 percent, the largest increase among the food groups. The indexes for dairy and related products and for nonalcoholic beverages both declined during the last year, and the index for food away from home rose 2.3 percent.
The index for gasoline declined 3.1 percent over the past 12 months, and the fuel oil index declined 2.4 percent. The indexes for natural gas and electricity rose during the period, by 1.8 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.9 percent for the 12 months ending March. Component indexes rising more quickly than this include airline fare (3.8 percent), medical care (3.1 percent), and shelter (2.2 percent). Among those indexes rising more slowly are new vehicles (1.1 percent), apparel (0.8 percent), and used cars and trucks (0.1 percent). The index for household furnishings and operations declined 0.6 percent during that period.

Big Agnes Diversion Insulated Air Core
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I just picked up the Diversion by Big Agnes. It's…
Price Paid: $105
I just picked up the Diversion by Big Agnes. It's rated well at 4.1 for an R value and it's light at 26 oz for the 72" length. It packs down quite small and it was recommended to me over a Prolite Plus by the guys at the shop.
I'm a big guy 185cm and 120kg and I find it comfortable. I can fit this this just about anywhere in my pack so it gets a good recommendation from me. I picked it up over the Prolite Plus because it was thicker and that's what makes it comfortable and that much warmer.
A possible con for some is that is doesn't have a pump, so you have to blow up it. It took me about a minute to blow it up easily. I think that the less parts you have to worry about, the better. Keep it simple stupid!
If anything, I'd pick this up because it is made of recycled material. It's a good concept to use materials to preserve the environment that you are enjoying out on the trail or wherever you may be.

Prof. Shimshon Rubin, Prof. Binyamin Beit-Halahmi and Dr. Itai Adras of of the psychology department said they found that 30 percent of parents of fallen soldiers suffered problems in their marriage due to their bereavement.
Rubin noted that losing a child is one of the most traumatic events a parent can suffer.
The team looked at the personalities and characteristics of 126 bereaved parents and an additional 62 parents who had not lost their children in military service, the latter serving as a control group.
They found that the parents' "style of communication" has a significant influence on how they cope with their loss. Parents who have difficulty trusting themselves and others find it much more difficult to deal with mourning and loss, while those who are more open showed that their functioning was similar to those who have not lost children.
Gender was also a major factor, they found. Women have more difficulty coping than their male partners. The team found that those bereaved couples who were most satisfied with their marital relationships coped better with their loss.
Rubin added that their research pointed to a "certain paradox," as people who are more open to support and help after losing their children have stronger communication with others and thus already have emotional strength.
Those who most need emotional support have the most difficulty communicating with others so they cannot get it, Rubin explained.
Bereavement is so difficult, he said. "The question is how to make the transition to the new reality without their loved one... The challenge is to society and professionals, and to the bereaved themselves, in finding ways to relieve their difficulties in coping with the reality and the changes in their lives."

Dorner could have read up on Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge. Or the Branch Davidians near Waco.
Or Jeff Davis of Virginia. There's an excellent movie out about that called "Lincoln." Davis' rebels failed to fight off northern "tyranny" — and back then the U.S. government didn't have tanks or drones, let alone ballistic missiles.
Yes, the 2nd Amendment was written by patriots who did successfully rebel against the tyranny of a foreign power. But neither Washington, D.C., nor the LAPD is a foreign power. Americans are not going to permit Uzi-armed citizens to rebel against their country, regardless of any "tyranny" some disgruntled misfits might perceive.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
We hire cops to protect us against criminals and crazies. The idea that we should allow citizens to be as well armed as the police — and, unfortunately, too many are armed better — is simply idiotic.
That doesn't mean a few cops aren't corrupt, don't act like thugs or aren't clueless — like the L.A. police who shot at two female paper deliverers, hitting one 71-year-old twice in the back. But that calls for firing, not armed citizen rebellion.
All those tens of millions of high-powered weapons out there — stacked in arsenals to fight off tyranny — are available for criminals to steal or to be wielded by nut jobs, like Dorner.
The citizens' militia needs to be better regulated.
Guns for protection against bad guys, sure.
Guns to overthrow tyranny, irrational. That's why our founders gave us the ballot box.

SCUGOG -- Tammy Horvath knows that cancer can be beaten.
Given just two weeks to live after doctors gave her the grim diagnosis in March 2004 that she had stage four uterine sarcoma, Ms. Horvath began preparing for the end of her life.
She started to say goodbye to friends and family and began planning her own funeral at age 34.
But instead of giving up, Ms. Horvath fought back. She found a surgeon willing to try a tricky procedure to remove the cancer and then endured months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments -- beating a rare form of cancer that statistics said no one survived.
"Quite obviously cancer messed with the wrong girl," Ms. Horvath told councillors at a recent municipal committees meeting. "Now, I've dedicated the rest of my life to fighting this disease."
In the 1940s, only 25 per cent of people diagnosed with cancer lived. Today, said Ms. Horvath, the chances of survival on average is 60 per cent.
"People are living longer, they're living better and they're living beyond this disease," she said.
Helping to increase those odds is the annual Relay For Life fundraiser, which has raised nearly $1 million since it began in north Durham. All the funds raised in the region are passed along to the Durham chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society and used here to cover expenses such as patient transportation costs and to fund research projects.
This year's event, which sees teams walk continuously for 12 hours, will be held at Elgin Park in Uxbridge on June 7.
"It's really something you have to experience," said Ms. Horvath. "It's a time to celebrate, a time to remember and to fight back against cancer."
The theme for the 2013 edition of Relay For Life will be north Durham's Biggest Birthday Party, featuring birthday cakes, clowns, movies and children's activities.
To help get civic officials into the spirit, organizers are challenging north Durham's three mayors to dress up in the funniest clown costume they can find.
"Together, we're going to laugh at cancer," said Ms. Horvath.
This year's Relay For Life will be held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Cancer Society.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats and Republicans are spending millions of dollars and airing thousands of TV commercials as they battle for the House's 435 seats.
But the Election Day result is likely to look familiar.
Democrats may erode the GOP majority slightly but they seem unlikely to gain the 25 additional seats they need to take control of the chamber.
Republicans have a money advantage and are using it to link Democratic candidates to President Barack Obama's economic stimulus and health care laws.
Democrats are accusing Republicans of trying to dismantle Medicare and use the savings to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
Both sides are trying to figure out the impact GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's recent campaign struggles will have on House races. So far that seems limited.

Archer, Rays shut down Yanks
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer, left, and Ben Zobrist, center, celebrate after winning a baseball game against the New York Yankees Saturday, July 27, 2013, in New York. The Rays won the game 1-0. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) |
NEW YORK — Chris Archer threw a two-hitter for his second shutout in three starts, outpitching Ivan Nova and leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday
Kelly Johnson had an RBI single off Nova (4-4) in the sixth to help the AL East-leading Rays improve to 24-5 since June 23, when they were in last place.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said before the game Archer (6-3) embraces the big moments, and he sure did once again t Yankee Stadium.
The 24-year-old rookie with a Captain America lunchbox in his locker never threw more than 14 pitches in an inning and needed just 97 overall — 67 for strikes — for his second career complete game.
Archer gave up a single to Lyle Overbay with one out in the fifth and a ground-rule double to Brett Gardner in the sixth for New York's only hits in its sixth loss in nine games since the All-Star break.
Archer did not walk a batter and struck out six. He got to finish what he started, catching Ichiro Suzuki's comebacker and tossing to first for the final out.
Acquired from the Chicago Cubs before the 2011 season in a deal for Matt Garza, Archer enjoyed his best month as a major leaguer.
He shut out Houston with a five-hitter on July 14 and his ERA for July is 0.73, an AL record for rookies. The Angels' Bob Lee had an 0.76 ERA in 1964.
Archer outpitched Nova in the Bronx for the second time this season. Last month, Archer won by holding the Yankees to one run over six innings.
Jeter could return today: It's no mystery the slumping Yankees could really use their captain. They could get him back today.
Derek Jeter passed one final test of his strained right quadriceps Saturday, playing a simulated game at a location the Yankees kept secret until after they lost in the Bronx.
Jeter was at the home of the Staten Island Yankees a little more than 12 miles from the big league club.
If he's feeling well, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Jeter will start at shortstop today.

Audio players do not differ in sound quality unless something is seriously wrong, in which case it will certainly not be "sonically better".

In order for iTunes to transfer the videos to your Apple TV they have to be modified in a special way. Since only a small portion of users requires this, the option is not enabled by default. If you want your videos to be modified, open the iFlicks Preferences and select the QuickTime tab. There you'll find an option labeled "Make compatible with hacked Apple TV". Once you have enabled this option, all videos imported to iTunes using the QuickTime preset will be transfered to your Apple TV.
The option in the preferences is not selectable am i missing something ?
By the way everything else it's a fantastic app.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. From the perspective of one who is midway through Book 4, A Storm of Swords is the best of the series, especially coming after the dispiriting slog that was Book 2, A Clash of Kings. All the (surviving) major characters are represented and experience major developments, and almost every chapter seems to end in a cliff-hanger of some significance. It's a really good read that is difficult to put down, although its extreme length might weary some readers by the end, much like a great movie that's six hours long. Instead of reading Book 2, my wife used Season 2 of the TV adaptation to fill her in on its events, and skipped directly from Book 1 to Book 3. I kind of envy her that. Having read Books 1 and 3, she's experienced the best of the early part of the series and relatively little of its excesses and missteps. This is the longest volume of A Song of Ice and Fire so far, at almost 300 pages longer than A Clash of Kings, and there are naturally a lot of significant plot points here. Most notably, there are multiple deaths of some very major characters, although the shock value has diminished given the internet reaction to the depiction in the HBO series. Once again, the houses of Westeros as largely concerned with the war of succession and their own petty squabbles to deal with the supernatural threat beyond the wall. A large contingent of wildlings seeks to take the Wall in the north and pass through, fleeing the mysterious Others. Two characters are given perspective chapters here, Sam Tarly of the Night's Watch and Jaime Lannister. Jaime's chapters provide great character development for him, and he actually comes off as somewhat sympathetic despite some of his horrible deeds. The other major characters continue where they left off at the end of Clash, the biggest new storyline being Daenerys's journey to Slaver's Bay in Essos. A Storm of Swords is largely more of the same; if you enjoyed the first two this is a must read. I found it a stronger installment than the last volume, with lots of twists and good plot advancement. It's best not to expect anything good to come here; it may not be a happy story, but A Song of Ice and Fire is certainly an entertaining, if disturbing, one. This book has it all. Action, adventure, mystery, suspense, the full range of emotions, deep characterization, slow burns and bright flares all. Secrets and deceptions, dating back to the first book, are revealed, while new ones come into being. It's been interesting seeing how the TV version has deviated from the written word, and now that I'm ahead of the show, it will be interesting to see how the written word is adapted. It's really impossible to talk about this book without revealing to much of the previous volumes. Just to mention a character, for anyone who hasn't been reading or watching, will reveal who survived the earlier books. And I wouldn't want to spoil this for anyone. If you like epic adventure, this is for you, even if fantasy isn't your thing, because it isn't really mine, but it works so well here, completely woven into the narrative in a natural way. The magic elements are slowly returning to the realm and are not in-your-face obnoxious, but rather, are additional aspects that need to be considered by the characters as an ancient evil is about to return. Sure, there are dragons and direwolves, giants and skinchangers, and the mysterious, fearsome Others. But at its heart, this is about politics and religion, old gods vs new vs the God of Light, and how much people are willing to sacrifice for power, wealth, honor, and overcoming evil. There are no heroes in these books. Just people, good ones and greedy ones, flawed, selfish, vain, honorable, naive, clever, too clever for their own good, self-righteous, and every other aspect of humanity. Fantasy and science fiction works best when it reflects us, and by giving us the point of view of the various factions, this series is turning a mirror on ourselves. There are things you get from reading the books that you can't really ascertain from the show: the motivations, fears, hopes of the people who inhabit this very realistic fantasy realm. Enough is enough. Although I enjoyed the first two books, it was partly in anticipation of SOMETHING positive happening SOMEWHERE along the line. I got two-thirds of the way through this book, then hit one chapter that was just too depressing for me to continue. The author seems to enjoy building characters that we like and are rooting for, just to then put them through one difficulty after another, killing some of them off from time to time. This unrelenting negativity and unmitigated suffering just got to be too much for me. I checked out the plots of the remaining chapters (and following books) on-line, and it seems that things get no better as the series goes on. Murder, betrayal, misunderstanding, treachery, torture, mutilation, deceit, tragedy, and malignant evil in this series never seem to be balanced out by humor, forgiveness, faithfulness and victory. There are small moments of humor and consolation, and some characters who have been mostly "bad guys" begin to show some redeeming qualities. However, there is not enough uplifting content to make me want to suffer through the rest of the series having beloved characters put through torment and/or killed. It's too bad, because I really like some of the characters, the author's style, and the world he creates. It's just too relentlessly negative. On the upside, I think this book had less explicit sexual content, at least as far as I got. Arguably the best book in the series to date.
Could we be heading for an ultimate conflict in which both sides are wrong and the right answer is being human and choosing the excluded middle? Wouldn't that be cool if it were the case? With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing. Is contained inA Game of Thrones 4-Book Boxed Set by George R. R.

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (7)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 055357342X, Mass Market Paperback)Is George R.R. Martin for real? Can a fantasy epic actually get better with each new installment? Fans of the genre have glumly come to expect go-nowhere sequels from other authors, so we're entitled to pinch ourselves over Martin's tightly crafted Song of Ice and Fire series. The reports are all true: this series is the real deal, and Martin deserves his crown as the rightful king of the epic. A Game of Thrones got things off to a rock-solid start, A Clash of Kings only exceeded expectations, but it's the Storm of Swords hat trick that cements Martin's rep as the most praiseworthy fantasy author to come along since that other R.R.Like the first two books, A Storm of Swords could coast on the fundamentals: deftly detailed characters, convincing voices and dialogue, a robust back-story, and a satisfyingly unpredictable plot. But it's Martin's consistently bold choices that set the series apart. Every character is fair game for the headman's axe (sometimes literally), and not only do the good guys regularly lose out to the bad guys, you're never exactly sure who you should be cheering for in the first place. Storm is full of admirable intricacies. Events that you thought Martin was setting up solidly for the first two books are exposed as complex feints; the field quickly narrows after the Battle of the Blackwater and once again, anything goes. Robb tries desperately to hold the North together, Jon returns from the wildling lands with a torn heart, Bran continues his quest for the three-eyed crow beyond the Wall, Catelyn struggles to save her fragile family, Arya becomes ever more wolflike in her wanderings, Daenerys comes into her own, and Joffrey's cruel rule from King's Landing continues, making even his fellow Lannisters uneasy. Martin tests all the major characters in A Storm of Swords: some fail the trial, while others--like Martin himself--seem to only get stronger. --Paul Hughes (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:35:47 -0400) "Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others -- a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords"--Cover.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Rolling Stone Readers Pick the Top Ten Bassists of All Time
Watch clips from the winners, including Flea, John Entwistle, Cliff Burton and Victor WootenLATEST PHOTOS
blog comments powered by Disqus
9. Cliff Burton
Metallica's early albums inspired generations of metal bands, and Cliff Burton's bass parts were studied by fans like they were the Talmud. His catalog is slim – just Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets – but that was more than enough to secure his legacy for decades to come. Burton tragically died in September of 1986 when Metallica's tour bus flipped over while traveling through Sweden. He was just 24. The band carried on, but many diehards feel that they never matched the thunder of the Cliff Burton era.

Chuck Thatcher has had great first rounds in the WACO Open. He needs to do the same in the second round. (By Colleen McGrath/Staff Photographer / August 9, 2012) |
A two-under-par 70 has been the norm for Chuck Thatcher in the first round of the last two WACO Championships.Last year was good enouogh to share the first-round lead with eventual winner Jim Markovitz. This year, Thatcher hopes to eliminate the second-round blues.
The 29th edition WACO Open tees off on Saturday at 6:30 a.m. with 148 golfers perusing the 6,650-yard layout of Beaver Creek Country Club.
A disappointing 75 took Thatcher out of contention, but he bounced back and rediscovered his game to win the Frederick City Amateur weeks later.
"I've forgotten what happened (Sunday) last year," said Thatcher. "I've used that as a learning experience.
"I've undergone some swing changes, looking for more consistency in all areas. It's taken a lot of work."
While a rain-free weekend might not be guaranteed, one thing is: There will be a new WACO Champion.
Markovitz, from Pittsburgh, has turned professional since his victory. Even Chris Baloga, the 2010 champ, won't be in the field as he will concentrate on the Maryland Mid-Amateur Monday and Tuesday.
Washington County representation in the victory club has been absent since 1999 when Finley Benjiman won. From 2002-09, golfers from the Waynesboro, Pa., area finished first.
Beaver Creek club pro Dirk Schultz said players such as Thatcher, Randy Barnes and Ray Sheedy are on the "pick-'ems" list to win.
Three-time champion Greg Henry is in the field along with other former champions, Benjamin and Drew Forrester.
"It's a smaller field but I think there is more quality throughout," said tournament director Rod Steiner. "As usual there will be tough pin placements, especially with slower greens."
Schultz predicts that players with a good iron game will succeed.
"There is fully grown rough, it's not brown," said Schultz. "The ball won't roll as deep into the rough."
With the regular stream of hot days, Beaver Creek has protected the greens, leaving them slower than normal, which will make them receptive with crisp irons.
"I think putting will be easier because they've been protected," said Schultz.
After Saturday's round, players will be placed into the second, third and fourth flights in addition to the championship flight.
The single-round scoring record of 9-under-par 63 and the tournament scoring mark of 136 are both held by Bricker, each set in 2006.

Two things strike me as amazing about Murdoch's tweet: First that he's willing to propagandize in the face of California's fiscal Armageddon, and second that he would crow to the masses that he doesn't understand basic economics.

Every time Sandra Fluke is mentioned here, Fluke Instruments ads show up on the sidebar. I would think Trojan Condoms would be more appropriate.
and did you see the list? Pussy Riot, Joey Biden, Colbert, Jon Stewart, Jay Z…what a joke most of that list is.
I nominate the Twinkie.

Let me get this strait. Burning Obrainless in effigy is racist but a painting of Obrainless that simulates him being nailed to a cross is free speech.
Got it.
Wait a minute!?!? I thought libtards hated Christianity and everything about it? What am I missing?
+2 -
What you're "missing" is the deliberate perversion of the Crucifixion. The mocking of the central tenet of Christianity. It always serves leftist ideology well to belittle Jesus, to "cut him down to size".
Jamie Foxx got it wrong. This is not about elevating BHO, it is about trying to diminish Christ.
+2 -
Mary. Jamie Fox is not intelligent enough or have the where with all to really determine the point he's trying to make. He IS sub human. He's just going with what feels right, following the path of least resistance with his racially charged fan base. In reality he is insignificant, and he's just self aware enough to know it. I'd like to beat his ass.

Gold: A Glittering History
The U.S. government's rocky relationship with gold
Gold In America
The U.S. government's relationship with gold (and silver) has a long and difficult history.
The U.S. tried, in early years, to make both gold and silver coins legal tender. Like all the empires before it, the United States had a widely circulated gold coin: the Eagle, minted from 1795 to 1933. It was originally 91 percent pure gold and contained 0.516 ounces of gold.
Money was a problem in the early years of the U.S. After the Revolution, the U.S. didn't have enough of it. The country imported more than it exported and its hard currency was going overseas.
The solution? Paper money. During the Revolution, the Continental Congress printed money with nothing to back it, as did the individual states. It proved worthless. That painful experience caused the Founding Fathers to insert a clause in the Constitution stating that "No State shall..make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."
After the Revolution, private banks began issuing paper money backed by gold and redeemable for gold. Before the Civil War, these private bank notes were the most widely used money in America.
Problem was, the banks expanded the money supply too much. The value of the paper money far exceeded the value of the gold held in the vaults. If all the note holders showed up at once to redeem their paper for gold—which happened many times—the bank went under.
The solution, or course, was more discipline by banks—fewer bank notes—and, ultimately, a central bank with a monopoly on bank notes.
But all that was in the future. What was needed was more credit for a growing country, and that meant a need for more gold.
California Gold Rush
The year 1848, when the mother lode was discovered in California, changed everything. In 1853 over 100 tons of gold were shipped from California to the East Coast. The rush didn't last long, but it was enough to dramatically expand the gold supply and it finally gave the United States the coinage it needed to grow its economy and launch it as a global power.
But there's a problem with tying your economy so closely to gold: any lack of it causes big problems. Gold was typically transferred from California to the eastern United States via ship that went around South America. In 1857, the steamship Central America sank off the coast of South Carolina with 21 tons of gold on board.
The loss of that gold was a factor in what became known as the Panic of 1857. Many banks went under.
It got worse when the Civil War started. There was no central bank. Most money was still in the form of privately issued bank notes, supposedly backed by gold. The U.S. government, pressed for cash to pay for the Civil War, borrowed gold from the banks. This left the banks with a shortage of gold to back the notes. When they put a halt on the ability to redeem the notes for gold, many of the notes became worthless.
The Greenback and Fiat Money
But the government still needed more money. A New York Congressman named Elbridge Spaulding created the greenback, federal paper money that could not be redeemed for gold. It was issued by the Federal Government and declared to be Legal Tender, simply because the U.S. government said so. By the end of the war, the government had issued $400 million in greenbacks.
The U.S. resumed convertibility into gold after the Civil War, but the greenbacks still circulated. One greenback equaled one gold dollar, but the values changed—the price of gold changed, and the value of the greenback changed depending on the amount in circulation.
Despite problems created by tying a currency to gold, the U.S. and most of the world adopted the gold standard in the 19th century. Gold and silver coins circulated as money; paper money was backed by convertibility into gold. The U.S. went to a gold standard in 1873.
World War I changed everything
World War I changed everything. To finance the war, most of Europe went off the gold standard. They had to: They had spent their gold on the war, which they financed (now that they were off the gold standard) by printing money. When it was over many countries had a significant inflation problem, Germany the worst of all.

Through three games, LSU defense looks as good, fast, mean, smart and powerful as any defensive unit in college football. Heck, even the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs might trade D's straight up with Les Miles if they could.
Miles, no surprise, loves what he's seen from John Chavis' latest group:
"I am the LSU coach, and I love every one of those teams (his current squad is being compared to). I can tell you that this defense is one of the fastest teams that I've had. There are more big-time plays made on this defense than I've been around for a while. If the defense continues to play with that intensity, it has the opportunity to be a special defense…
You can coach it and insist on it, but there comes a natural intensity that this defense seems to bring. There are some guys that take the field that just can't wait for the next play. That is a wonderful piece for a defense. Just line the offense up so that we can get one more play in. That kind of want is pretty special."
How special can LSU's defense be? Well, it's way too soon to be making serious comparisons, but if the Tigers play as well in their last nine games as they have in their first three, they might deserve mention alongside the 1992 Alabama defense — which for my money is the best SEC defense of the past quarter-century.
