Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn´t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children´s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.Ronald Reagan40th president of US (1911 - 2004) Click Here if you Like this Comment

I have had this conversation many times-- I cannot believe that the majority of our armed forces would obey commands to fight fellow Americans.If that order ever came, I think you´d see a military coup faster than you can say "To Hell with Obama".

We vets have long memories and short tempers. We gave years of our lives and all too often much more than that to keep this nation free. We aren´t going to idly sit by and let those freedoms that we fought for be shredded by the current crop of politicians. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

It is widely recognized among the veteran population that the liberal Democrat gun grabbers will try but are not going to get away with taking away the 2nd Amendment rights of hundreds of millions of law abiding Americans based upon the actions of a few criminally insane people.

Donald Rumsfeld was vilified in the press for calling the terrorists ´´dead-enders´´. What he meant was, these were the stragglers that had nothing left to live for except to cause as much chaos before their martyr´s demise. I contend that there are Walt Kowalskis patiently waiting, cleaning their weapons, and amassing ammo. At the point where Obama transforms America to no longer be recognizable, an army of dead-enders will be unleashed...and it won´t go well for the Feds. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I am not a veteran, nor is my father but both of us have come to the point in our lives where the things we love, family, country, God, our unborn grndchildren, mean far more to us than life or liberty.That is a force no army can truly counter. It is not a conviction anyone under the age of about 50 cannot really understand. It comes with age, with reaching the point where you can start to feel you´ve had a good long life. One starts to feel a very heavy weight of what we owe the ones we love who have just started their lives. At that point the fear of forfeiting ones life or liberty loses its power. An army of such men and women can achieve unbelievable things. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

My Timber King, a Marine veteran of two tours in Vietnam, is heartsick over the "transformation of America" and believes the oath he took has no expiration date. He never expected domestic enemies would come to include the federal government.Personally, I´m ready to stand proudly at his side especially after this week. For some reason my small town pharmacy has been unable to get Estratest (hormone replacement pills - or anti-divorce pills as the TK calls them) since January 2nd. They gave me the last 3 they had. I´ve been hormonally deprived for one week now. (Is this the Obamacare "war on women"?)I´m aching for a fight and this week has brought to mind a new tactic: Tens of thousands of conservative post-menopausal women can voluntarily go off their meds for one week, THEN we march on D.C.Jus sayin.

I don´t know about that #6. My guess is they will follow orders ... for a while, but I believe that at some point they will change. They followed orders in the Civil War, they followed orders at Waco, they will follow orders until they see the light. Many will die on both sides if it came to that. Just sayin.What they can´t do is occupy the country. They can´t post enough men to control 25 million scattered across the country. Where they going to quarter them, in the houses of the ´enemy´? Good luck and sleep tight and have another drink with that. There would also be a Galt effect that would make it difficult for them to sustain a long action. Click Here if you Like this Comment

This piece and the above comments brought to mind the action of the Current US Military Chief of Staff, General Dempsey, USA.In the days following Benghazi, he personally called the minister of a small Florida Church and asked him to refrain from criticizing Islam. THE senior military of officer calling a civilian, a Christian pastor, and "suggesting" he not express his opinions concerning Islam.This truly outrageous and illegal act by a military member got next to no coverage by the news media.Things are indeed changing, and as a retired 33 year active duty veteran, I concur with the Ldotter thoughts above.

Most of the senior general officers are politicians. I was shocked to find out that David Petraeus only had an EIB not a CIB and that all of his fruit salad was "I´ve been there at such and such a time" I think it will come down to the Colonels, it usually does (and the NCO´s of course) As for the dangerous old men: They´re old, don´t have a lot left except their honor and love of country, their families are grown and on their own, they have skill sets, many of which aren´t too useful in polite society, they´ve been there and done that and they have survived things that most can´t imagine.

My 65 year old, Vietnam Veteran Father just bought his first AR-15 (well, second, if you count the one he carried over there). He is truly worried about the country he will leave for his grandchildren.His Federal Agent (me) and Police Officer sons will not participate in confiscations. He raised us right.

Dispatch from London: Tweed + Bikes + Booze
Last weekend every Brit who ever purchased a Brooks Saddle came together with bikes, booze and tweed for the first annual London Fixed Gear and Single Speed Winter Dress Club Run. They pedaled from H Huntsman & Sons (11 Savile Row) past a spot for tea and onto the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club for additional sustenance post-ride. Check out the great, unfortunately un-stealable pics here.
(Thanks to Nicholas for the heads up!)

Rear Axle spacer and shimsGuess I should have spent $ on a service manual before I started this project. Had all parts clean and laid out on table waiting on new bearing and seals. Noticed this evening that the spacer and shims somehow fell on the floor. now I am not sure which goes where. Only drawing I have seen on the net does not help. Would certainly appreciate help from you guys!

Re: Rear Axle spacer and shimsKyCub54:
As I mentioned before ... follow the links to the manuals -- service manuals, parts manuals, owner's manuals and all kinds of other resources available to you .. simply click the links below:
This is the page you would be looking for in the TC-37C Parts Catalog (08-29-52) Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Rear Axle spacer and shimsWell thanks you guys for the info. Only problem I have now is, I remember taking off the spacer and shims together. The
TC-37C drawing shows them on opposite side of the bull gear. I am certain they were on the same side. If that is so, then someone before me tore into this thing and built it wrong. I will assemble it per the drawing, nothing seems to be worn anywere. Just went into it because of the bad seal outer seal leak. Any other advice ?
Re: Rear Axle spacer and shims
Be sure to read through the GSS-1411 Service Manual, in particular Section 6 Transmission And Differential. The shims are there for proper pre-load and backlash on the gears and need to be put back in a proper order. Follow the steps laid out in the Service Manual to make sure it goes back together correctly. Where you are, right now, is of absolutly no use unless you are able to get away from it, FAST!
Re: Rear Axle spacer and shimsOk I think I am no longer confused. Finally got a link to work, and when I got to the blow up of the rear axle assy I realized what IH calls "spacer" and ""shim" I was thinking of as all shims. I remember "spacers" on air compressor overhauls being as much as 4" long. Now I feel better about putting it back together tomorrow. Wish me luck, please. Thanks
Re: Rear Axle spacer and shimsGot it all back together and everything is good!! Thanks again to all who offered advice. Now I really have to clean up my shop!!

Forgive me if I'm not bursting with enthusiasm as I write this, for I'm about to take a week's vacation and, as is my nature, I've been spending hours thinking about what clothes I should pack!
But thanks to modern technology, I've absolutely no doubt whatsoever about what music I should take with me!
I've spent a good three hours this afternoon packing my iPod!
And on this trek: Albums with orange on their covers, bands that start with "D" and "S," and any British blues band that made a record between 1967-1972!
I find that when I show people my iPod, stuff like that really impresses them!
The Rosebuds: Loud Planes Fly Low (Merge) Since everything's just about as good as everything else, why not start this week's post with my favorite album of the past few months--by North Carolina's fabulous Rosebuds? The latest in a series of deeply appealing, minor-key & quirky song collections by a couple who've had their personal ups and downs, they can be heard here tastefully baring their souls in a manner with few precedents, sometimes strikingly so: This is a record about having a professional relationship with your former spouse. As always, melodies are not a problem, and the lyrics, especially, are captivating. I don't think I've heard a better record this year. Tedeschi Trucks Band: Revelator (Sony Masterworks) Speaking of couples married or otherwise, one of this year's most charming surprises is this collaboration between Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks--two superior guitarists well-versed in the blues and technically better than nearly anybody! I mean, realistically, each of these dudes were nominated for Grammys for their solo albums last year! And while everything to be heard here is top-notch, I'm a tad disappointed if only because of the possibilities yet unexplored: "It's Your Turn To Take The Garbage Out Blues," "I Don't Like The Way She Was Looking At You Blues," "I'm Not Sure This 401(k) Plan Is Necessarily the Best Blues," and the inevitable, "Look, I Love You And All That, But I'm Not 100 Percent Convinced Sitting Around Every Night Drinking Beer and Listening To Augie Meyers Records Is The Best Way To Go Suite," etc.! Dig the Masterworks label! All Time Low: Dirty Work (Interscope) I'd have to agree with this band's bio, which categorically states that "All Time Low has emerged as one of the most popular bands in recent memory," especially since I've forgotten everything that ever happened since last week! In fact, what the heck did I just review in that last paragraph? In many ways like the Rolling Stones--who, according to the Internet once recorded an album with this very same title--the band consists of male humans who have no qualms about opening bottles of champagne on album covers, despite the obvious handicaps that will offer in the three remaining American counties in which drinking alcohol is still wisely forbidden! Frankly, I'm drawn to any band that records songs with titles like "Get On Your Knees and Tell Me You Love Me" and "Merry Xmas, Kiss My Ass," and I can't wait to actually hear them! And once Game Of Thrones is over, I will!
I Feel Like Dancin' - All Time Low
Cults: Cults (Columbia) I'm quite enthralled by the lusciously retro, girl-group sound of this hipster duo--they have a knack with pop hooks but aren't entirely slaves to the past--but I'm more interested in their name, which apparently is either derived from their past membership in the fabled Rosicrucians or, even more enticing, their being among the select few who literally worship the output of the hallowed 3M company--creators not only of Scotch Tape, but also Scotchgard, Scotch-Brite and, perhaps most impressively, Post-It notes! Of course, were none of that to be the case, I'd still think they were pretty good! But the disappointment would linger! Def Leppard: Mirrorball: Live & More (Bludgeon Riffola /Mailboat) I've been following Def Leppard since the early days, back when labels used to fly writers overseas to cover bands they thought were on the verge of breaking big Stateside--which is exactly what happened after they recorded Pyromania, way back in '83. Much has happened since then, but I remain impressed that they've stayed at it, managed to get even better with time, have surprisingly sharp taste for any group once associated with the so-called New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and still rock profoundly. This new set--a 2-CD live set combined with a DVD--is more than welcome and likely to please anyone who's ever been a fan of the band. See for yourself!Pour Some Sugar On Me (Live) - Def Leppard
Givers: In Light (Glass Note) One of the benefits of working at Yahoo is that occasionally artists drop by and informally play a live set of music; last week's appearance by Louisana's the Givers was one of the more memorable I've seen. Playing an organic mixture of who-knows-what--sort of like a jam band that realizes the value of reeling in the excess--the group's got good songs, good players, good arrangements, and an air of playing no song exactly the same way twice. They seem to be purely in it for the music--which, all things considered, is nuts! Dopes! Frank Sinatra: Ring-A-Ding Ding (Concord) Frank Sinatra's earlier career with Capitol Records has been extraordinarily well-documented, and his later years with Reprise--circa "Stranger In the Night"--have likewise. But this set, which marks his official debut on Reprise, his very own label, hasn't had similar exposure. An impressive collection, recorded in a pre-Beatles '61, the album features superb arrangements by Johnny Mandel, a fine array of Sinatra-esque tuneage, two bonus tracks, and a cover picture that begs for the eventual popularization of LSD! Thankfully that never happened!Ring-A-Ding Ding - Frank Sinatra
The Wooden Birds: Two Matchsticks (Barsuk) I was a big fan of Austin's American Analog Set--whose Andrew Kenny eventually left and formed this band--and, without knowing who was in the band, bought a copy of their first album at the merchandise table of some show they opened without realizing I already owned it! Which either means I really liked them or drink to the point of excess when I go out to see bands! You decide! That said, I like this new album loads and will probably buy it again the next time I see them! I hope it rains again tomorrow!Two Matchsticks - The Wooden Birds
Nick 13: Nick 13 (Sugar Hill) A surprisingly strong album from the founder of Tiger Army--produced by ace LA musicians Greg Leisz and James Intveld and perhaps working in a genre few would expect of him--Nick 12 maybe, but not Nick 13--this set documents the heartbreaking decline of a once-successful children's television network upon reaching the age of adolescence! First the voice starts to deepen, then stubble begins to grow, then the chicks on the Oxygen and Lifetime Networks start looking kind of hot and then, finally, inevitably, you're forced to move up to the Jersey Shore, take off your shirt, and drool a lot! Music is getting so weird! Adelitas Way: Home School Valedictorian (Virgin) If there's any irony to be had in the title of this great new Adelitas Way album, it's that each of the Las Vegas band's members in fact were home-schooled--and even more unlikely, each had between 250-400 siblings! Thus they're, like, really smart! Is birth control still legal in Nevada?

One Life Integral Coaching
Life Coach Eli Bissonett needed a strong presence to promote his services.
A Taste of Ely
A Taste of Ely is not only a restaurant but hosts an art gallery and live musical performances. So, it was important to find a WordPress template that had an event calendar as well as menu and specials features.
Elder Services Network
This is the second site we've done for this non-profit aimed at seniors in the Northern St. Louis County Iron Range Minnesota area. We used WordPress this time, so they can do their own updates. The site is mostly brochure with a directory of services.
Listening Point
The Listening Point Foundation had a beautiful static HTML web site that was a tribute to writer and outdoorsman Sig Olson, but it needed updating. The client wanted to keep the same look and feel, nothing very flashy or bright, reflecting the peace of the north woods.
We took the design and converted it to WordPress so if they wanted to update it themselves, they could. We added Jigoshop e-commerce and the ability for supporters to donate online. We also translated some the great stories featured in their print newsletter and created a blog so the search engines would know the site is active and regularly updated.
Marian Tours International
This is the second redesign for Marian Tours, this one being in WordPress so the client can do their own updates.
Ely Winter Festival
Another redesign of this fun site, this time using WordPress and paid plugins for event calendar and sponsors.
Injury Care Medical
Osteopath Richard Radnovich needed help. The firm he hired to create a new web site for his clinic dropped the ball half way through the project. Dr. Radnovich turned to Webgoddess.net. We moved the site to a more user-friendly format (WordPress!) and reorganized the information to be more user- and search engine-friendly. During the project, Doc said things like, "BTW, have I mentioned how happy I am to be working with you? Rather than feeling ripped off, I feel all warm and fuzzy. I feel like I can move ahead with all the ideas that I once had."
South Park Nursery & Landscaping
This Jackson, Wyoming. landscaping company had some beautiful work to show and no web site to promote it. Showing off its variety of services, the site is rich in images and uses slideshows to highlight the photography.
MCS Legal Help (Walkuplaw.com)
A new site for Michael Walkup, attorney. His MCS-based law practice is a great example of a niche-based web marketing approach. Although Michael is in the Chicago area, he can help clients throughout the US. A detailed form helps him get initial information from prospective clients.
North Country Canoe Outfitters
The challenge in converting this very large (over 100 pages) old (started in 1996!) Frontpage site was keeping the excellent SEO ranking the client had worked hard to achieve. We pared down the site and added some large images, slideshows and a movie to engage the user. Good news: the site still ranks high and client's customers loved the new site.

Lingering GI Tract Infection
Unfortunately, I contracted a C. difficile bacterial infection of the intestine after one night in a hospital.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) set Dec. 6, 2010 as the date of completion on the final sections of its Green Line light rail project. Two sections, from MLK Jr. Station near Fair Park south to Buckner Station in Pleasant Grove and from Victory Station northwest to North Carrollton, will open completing the 20 station, 28 mile, $1.8 billion project.
The first part of the Green Line, from Pearl Station to MLK Jr., along with daily service to Victory Station, opened in September 2009. Work began on the Green Line in fall 2006, following the receipt of a $700 million Full Funding Grant Agreement from the Federal Transit Administration. At its peak, construction of the Green Line, the longest light rail project under construction in North America, produced more than 2,200 construction jobs.
The section from Fair Park to Pleasant Grove includes four stations: Hatcher, Lawnview, Lake June and Buckner. A featured stop will be the 6,000 acre Great Trinity Forest near Lawnview Station. The largest urban hardwood forest in the U.S. is also home to the Trinity River Audubon Center, which has nature trails and hands-on exhibits.
In addition to the Green Line, DART will open Lake Highlands Station on the Blue Line in December. Work also continues on a Blue Line extension from Downtown Garland to Downtown Rowlett. That section will open by December 2012.

Domestic oil sources drying up?
An interesting article recently made the point that crude oil production from Alaskan fields is declining, and the big pipeline that brings product south is reaching the point where it is turning into a maintenance problem. Long story short, these days the pipeline is delivering less oil, which increases problems with corrosion and damage from the environment. You can walk faster than the flow velocity.
The fields in Alaska that have been the biggest producers are declining and there isn't much enthusiasm for expanding drilling, especially offshore. Of course there's no interest in expanding offshore drilling anywhere around here these days, especially the gulf. This will be a problem in the long run. The Alaska pipeline needs some work, but if drilling continues to be restricted, there is little incentive to fix it.
Unless these situations change and reverse the downward production spiral, the only alternative is increasing imports or cutting consumption. As discussed here last March, consumption in North America is below its peak in 2007, and refiners are cutting capacity. I don't have the most recent statistics, but domestic production has probably dropped even more, which means oil imports are creeping up again.
If you were to ask most Americans if they would be willing to change their behavior, in this case make a personal effort to reduce oil consumption, you probably wouldn't get many who would take up the challenge. Of course nobody wants to see oil spills here, which is why imports will go up. Importing oil allows us to export most of the risk and mess. Seeing TV coverage of a spill or other damage somewhere in South America or Africa doesn't carry the same impact as tarballs washing up in Louisiana.
Maybe that's a cynical attitude, but consider this: Frito-Lay brought out a new type of bag for its Sun Chips products. The bag is compostable and biodegrades. It's made from vegetable products. Those are good things, right? Sales of Sun Chips have declined since the bag's introduction. The complaint? The bag makes too much noise. So much for changing behavior.

The uWSGI project aims at developing a full stack for building hosting services.
Application servers (for various programming languages and protocols), proxies, process managers and monitors are all implemented using a common api and a common configuration style.
Thanks to its pluggable architecture it can be extended to support more platforms and languages.
Currently, you can write plugins in C, C++ and Objective-C.
The "WSGI" part in the name is a tribute to the namesake Python standard, as it has been the first developed plugin for the project.
Versatility, performance, low-resource usage and reliability are the strengths of the project (and the only rules followed).
Supported Languages/Platforms
See the following table for a list of current language plugins:
Technology | Available from version | Notes | Status |
Python | 0.9.1 | The first available plugin, supports WSGI (PEP333, PEP3333), Web3 from version 0.9.7-dev and Pump (from 0.9.8.4). Works with VirtualEnv, Multiple Python interpreters, Python3k and has unique features like module aliasing, DynamicVirtualenv and uGreen. A module exporting handy Decorators for the uWSGI api is available in the source distribution. PyPy support is available starting from 1.2. From 1.3 the Tracebacker has been added | Stable (100% uwsgi api support) |
Lua | 0.9.5 | Support wsapi, coroutine and threads | Stable (60% uwsgi api support) |
Perl | 0.9.5 | PSGI support. multiple interpreters, threading and async modes supported | Stable (60% uwsgi api support) |
Ruby | 0.9.7-dev | Rack and RubyOnRails support. A loop engine for Ruby 1.9 fibers is available as well as a handy DSL module | stable (80% uwsgi api support) |
Erlang | 0.9.5 | allows message exchanging between uWSGI and Erlang nodes. ErlangIntegration | Stable (no uwsgi api support) |
CGI | 1.0-dev | run CGI scripts | Stable (no uwsgi api support) |
PHP | 1.0-dev | run PHP scripts | stable from 1.1 (5% uwsgi api support) |
Go | 1.4 | run Go application | stable from (20% uwsgi api support) |
JVM | 1.9-dev | allows integration between uWSGI and the JVM. An example WSGI-like (jwsgi) handler is available | Stable |

Under federal law, all coal miners must be provided with a self-rescue device that will provide them with at least an hour's worth of breathable air to escape in the event of an underground fire or explosion.
MSHA and NIOSH jointly certify the devices as complying with federal regulations, and the agencies have an agreement through which they are jointly charged with dealing with any problems that come up later when devices are in use.
In 2010, MSHA and NIOSH launched a joint investigation of problems that were eventually traced to the oxygen cylinders used in the initial start-up of the SR-100 devices. Initially, CSE said it had instituted a "recall" of the troubled units, but later conceded it had not actually ordered coal companies to stop using the devices.
Scott Shearer, president of CSE, did not return a phone call Tuesday, but said in a prepared statement that his company has "received no final directive from NIOSH or MSHA regarding the SR-100."
"CSE voluntarily ceased production of the SR-100 when the company's internal quality control process identified a possible issue with the oxygen cylinder," Shearer said in the statement.
"We have remained committed to working with the agencies for some time to resolve any and all concerns," he said. "Once we receive final notification from the regulatory agencies, we will continue to develop appropriate next steps."
In lawsuits after the Sago disaster, families of the miners were investigating concerns that the SR-100 cylinders, made by a vendor for CSE, somehow leaked, leaving the units without enough oxygen to start properly. Those suits were settled, and the terms were kept confidential.
NIOSH said in its new report that an engineering firm hired by CSE had concluded that a loss of oxygen in the starter cylinders occurred at a threaded connection between the cylinder body and oxygen outlet assembly.
"When asked to determine the percentage of affected, assembled, SR-100s, CSE responded that it was less than 1 percent overall," the NIOSH report said.
"CSE could not identify a systemic cause or otherwise confine the failure to within certain lots," the agency report said. "Therefore, the failure could exist among all field-deployed units."

Spurs Nation By Dan McCarney Tim Duncan and Philadelphiaâs Jrue Holiday will debut special editions of Adidasâ Crazy Fast model sneakers for the upcoming All-Star Game in Houston. As you can see from the photo, theyâre not for the faint of heart. The Crazy Fast shoe was based on the speed and power of a combustion engine, which dovetails nicely with Duncanâs love of performance automobiles. The shoes will be available on Feb. 1, according to a press release. If theyâre anywhere close to the popularity of Duncanâs retro Nike Total Air Foamposites, you might want to be careful where you wear them.:shocked As detailed in this report dug up by Project Spurs, multiple people have been held up at gun point in the Washington D.C. area for their pairs of the coveted shoes.
__________________ I asked them if it wasn't too much trouble, if I wasn't being too pushy, if they could execute what we were trying to do. And if it didn't make them too angry, if they also wanted to play some defense on the other end, that would be great. --Gregg Popovich! |

Wide receiver Trindon Holliday scored on a 90-yard punt return touchdown and a 104-yard kick return touchdown to mark the longest respective plays in each category in NFL postseason history. He also became the first player in league postseason history to record a punt return touchdown and kick return touchdown in the same playoff game.
Quarterback Peyton Manning tied the Broncos' postseason record with three touchdown passes. He tied John Elway, who did so three times, for that mark.
Wide receiver Brandon Stokley's 15-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter against Baltimore marked the fourth NFL team (Baltimore, Indianapolis, Seattle and Denver) that he has caught a postseason touchdown pass for. He joins Keenan McCardell as the only players in NFL history to accomplish that feat.
The kickoff temperature of 13 degrees marked the second-coldest home game in Broncos history. The temperature was the coldest – home or away – in Broncos postseason history.
Manning threw three touchdown passes in Denver's loss to Baltimore to tie him with Dan Marino for the fourth-most passing scores in playoff history.
Running back Ronnie Hillman's 83 rushing yards marked the second-most by a Broncos rookie in a playoff game.
