Project Description The proposed Project includes construction of a 17-acre campus to support a new Amazing Facts Ministry facility. The proposed Project would be constructed in two phases with buildings totaling 208,020 square feet. Phase I of the proposed Project would include a 106,800-square-foot multi-use building consisting of an auditorium/gymnasium, ministry offices, Sabbath school classrooms, a fireside chapel, an audio/visual production suite, and kitchen facilities. Phase I would also include a separate ±11,220 square-foot resource center building. Phase II would consist of a ±90,000 square-foot multi-use building which will replace the Phase I multi-use building's function as the main sanctuary for this ministry and serve as the permanent worship facility with seating for 2,000 people. Approximately 625 on-site parking spaces would be provided as part of Phase I and an additional 275 parking spaces as part of Phase II for a total of approximately 900 spaces. The Project site would have full access at the signalized intersection of Sierra College Boulevard and Nightwatch Drive. A secondary access with right-turn in and right-turn out only would be constructed along Sierra College Boulevard approximately 450 feet east of the primary access. +more
The 74.2 acre project site comprises a single parcel identified by two assessor's parcel numbers (APN 046-050-006 [69.1 acres] and APN 046-050-008 [5.1 acres]) totaling 74.2 acres bordered by Sierra College Boulevard on the north between Nightwatch Drive and Ridge Park Drive. The property abuts the City of Rocklin along the north property line and extends south to property at the end of Oak Hill Lane in Placer County. The proposed project consists of development of an Amazing Facts Ministries house of worship on 17 acres within the northern portion of the 75-acre project site. Amazing Facts Ministries is a multi-faceted, Christian media ministry which includes television, radio, internet, publishing, and the Amazing Facts School of Evangelism. The project site is located within the Granite Bay Community Plan and is designated Rural Estate 4.6 acre to 20 acre minimum. The project site is zoned F-B-X 20 acre minimum (Farm, combining a minimum building site size of 20 acres). A house of worship is an allowed use in the Farm zone district with the approval of a minor use permit (MUP). The project site is comprised of two parcels (APNs: 046-050-006 and 046-050-008), 5.9 acres and 69.1 acres, that abut the City of Rocklin along the northern property line and extend to Oak Hill Lane in Placer County to the south.

Where do babies come from? If you can answer "Hudson Valley Hospital Center," your baby is one of the lucky ones!
Why? At our Women's Pavilion for Birthing, we are dedicated to giving expectant mothers the birth experience they choose – and working toward their comfort every step of the way. Your loved ones are involved during birth and after delivery. And, our expert medical staff provides mothers and babies with top-quality care.
Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County families choose our hospital for many reasons. We support birth plans as unique as the babies we help bring into the world. We offer deliveries by obstetricians and midwives, we welcome doulas and we encourage you to keep the people you want at your side.
Our Labor and Delivery Suites offers five rooms that pair the comforts of home with state-of-the art equipment. We are the only area hospital to have a whirlpool tub in each birthing room to help speed up delivery and ease pain. In fact, our progressive center is one of the few that allows Water Births.
Our philosophy celebrates those first special moments of a baby's life. We offer immediate "skin-to-skin" bonding time to all our patients, including those who deliver by Cesarean Section within the birthing suite.
New mothers later move to Private rooms that feel more like a hotel than a hospital. They can have their babies "room in," knowing our caring staff will provide full support. And families can sleep well knowing that our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can care for many conditions that arise in premature and full-term babies.
Our approach is centered on the whole family: New dads can spend the night, and grandparents and siblings can be involved through special courses. From the first months of pregnancy through the weeks following birth, we provide a wealth of resources, including Birthing and lactation classes as well as support groups.
Expectant parents can take a tour by calling 914-734-3258.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
Norfolk, Va. — The Pentagon said late Saturday that it is investigating why a Navy submarine collided with an Aegis cruiser during routine operations at an undisclosed location. The U.S. Fleet Forces Command said in a news release that the submarine USS Montpelier and the Aegis cruiser USS San Jacinto collided about 3:30 p.m. No one was injured, and the extent of any damage to the vessels was not clear Saturday evening, said Lt. Commander Brian Badura of the Fleet Forces Command.
"We have had circumstances where Navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but they're fairly rare as to how often they do take place," Badura told The Associated Press.
Navy officials said the collision was under investigation, but declined to offer specifics on what happens next or on where the incident took place.
"If we do have an incident that does take place, there are folks that swing into action ... to help us make a better, more conclusive explanation of exactly what happened," Badura said.
The news release says "overall damage to both ships is being evaluated," and that the sub's propulsion plant was "unaffected by the collision." Both Navy ships are based at Norfolk, Va., and are operating on their own power, the news release says.
The Montpelier (SSN-765), a Los Angeles-class submarine, was the third Navy ship to be named for Montpelier, Vt. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. in Newport News, Va., on Feb. 6, 1987, and her keel was laid down on May 19, 1989. She was launched on Aug. 23, 1991, and commissioned on March 13, 1993.

text: I think people are comparing her to other skaters and noticing a lack of...variation of expression in Mirai. She's falling into one-note territory where she's either perky or she's stone-faced. Maybe I should pay more attention to any nuances or subtleties on her musical interpretation, but I find that seems like Mirai equates mature expression to almost no expression.

One in four Michigan Children live in poverty - a problem closely linked to hunger. More than 315,000 kids in southeast Michigan receive free or reduced lunch at school. When school is out those children are at risk of missing meals. That's where Gleaners programs come in - they provide snacks not only during the school day -but cover those hours when kids aren't in school. Kids who are hungry - can't learn, can't concentrate.
FOX 2 and Gleaners thank all of our viewers who showed their support on our special double donation day is in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Women's Power Breakfast. As part of that event, the goal was set to raise 2 million meals to help feed hungry kids this spring.
With your help we reached our goal of two million meals for local children!
You can still help. To donate, visit www.gcfb.org.

Bearcats fight hard but fall to the Cougars
Fri. August 23, 2013 at 11:36 p.m. | By From staff reports

Despite losing several talented seniors off last year's team, the Hendersonville Bearcats showed once again that they will be a team to watch for the 2013 season.
The Bearcats led Asheville twice on Friday night, but the Cougars rallied from a 14-7 deficit to score 21 straight points and take a season-opening 28-14 win at Dietz Field.
The Cougars' ground game proved too much for Hendersonville, as Asheville rushers ended the night piling up 295 yards on 52 carries. That attack was led by Cameron Ray, who had 20 carries for 140 yards and three touchdowns.
Bearcat quarterback Cole Cleary, who was 8-for-23 for 57 yards passing, had a bigger night on the ground with 24 carries for 187 yards and a touchdown.
Hendersonville got on the board first in the first quarter with a Cleary 3-yard run and a Sawyer Heery extra point.
Asheville responded with a 10-yard touchdown run by Ray and a James Ramming kick to make it 7-7.
The Bearcats took their final lead of the night in the second quarter when Cleary hit Bradley Schmidt from 2 yards out. Heery's PAT gave HHS a 14-7 lead.
After that the Cougars reeled off three straight touchdowns (a Ray 1-yard run, a Malik Palmer 3-yard run and a Ray 8-yard run).
The Bearcats host West Henderson next Friday night, while the Cougars host Polk County.

There seems to be a better chance of getting a front snowplow for a super A than an older A like my '46.
Anyone have a photo or dealer drawing/ad on a manual snow plow set for the earlier A's?
Or is it just to heavy to lift without hydraulics?
My cub has a plow but the A definitely has more grunt. Wouldn't hurt either to have two ready to go for next winter.
The next task would be trying to find a plow setup soup to nuts and that's not gonna be easy.

How's your Deer Season going?

How's your Deer Season going?
I finally got mine started up this past Saturday. I got 2 good sized does at about 11am Saturday morning. They will make a nice addition to the meat supply in the freezer for the coming year. I've had some time to hunt when Bow season opened in mid September and then with the muzzleloader too. It's just been so warm that I haven't seen a single deer until this weekend now they are in the freezer
I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
I'm really slacking this year, been out only twice with my bow and really wasn't into it then. Came home the first evening with a nice 8pt., a friend hunting with me also took a nice 8pt.
By the time we got things in order and I got home and showered it was 1am in the morning....
I remember when all this used to be fun.... what happened.
This Saturday after work I decidied it was just to nice to bow hunt so I sand blasted another 54 blade to paint.
Seems I get in a tree anymore I sit there thinking about other stuff I should be doing. Guess it's time to take a brake or maybe pass things on to Grayson and let him do the hunting from now on.

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
Funny how that happens Yogie, I lost a couple of guys I hunted with over a few years and things change. I just don't get all workrd up like I used to for deer season. Spending a bit of time in the woods but cutting firewood and not hunting. Our shotgun season opens right after Thanksgiving so I will spend a few days out there then. As for the archery take numbers are down up here, my answer is there are not as many hunters.

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
We took two little bucks with the muzzle loaders. Rifle season opens this Saturday morning. If it were'nt for hunting with my brother and BIL it would be no fun but I do love just sitting there enjoying nature. My brother kids are starting to go now so that's been interesting. We all have nice double tree stands so we can each take one with us. Be safe.

My brother harvested a nice 8 point last Sat. however, I have not been able to get out into the woods to much work!
Re: How's your Deer Season going?
Yogie, you and I have talked about this before. I know everyone is different but about 20 years ago I too was not as excited about hunting as I had always been in the past. The thing that drew me to bowhunting was the challenge of getting close and making the shot, which hunting with a bow requires drawing a bow and making the shot while the animal is only yards or feet away, without being detected. When I first started bowhuning in the early '70's, I didn't even know anyone that bowhunted. Everything I learned I learned by trial and error, but it was very exciting.
Over the years my hunting ability improved, equipment improved with the addition of compound bows with let-off, sights, lighted sights and releases, etc. It didn't take much effort to scout out an area and put up a stand that would produce a shot at a buck. Any deer that passed within a 30 yard radius, I just had to line up my front and rear sights and pull the trigger and I had a dead deer. It was pretty easy and the challenge that I had enjoyed earlier was for the most part gone. With it was the satisfaction I used to get from attaining a goal that was difficult to achieve.
In an effort to rekindle that challenge I thought maybe trophy hunting would be the answer. I poured myself into trophy hunting for the next several years and took some good bucks. However, trophy hunting requires a lot more work and it seemed that I had enough work in my life and didn't really need more of it.
One day at the grocery store, I found an issue of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine in the rack and bought it. While reading that magazine I found what I was missing. In my mind, bowhunting using traditional equipment had to be a challenge. That next hunting season I began hunting with an old Bear Recurve that I had purchased many years ago. Later, I bought my first custom made longbow.
Hunting with traditional equipment is definitely a challenge, at least for me. Learning to shoot a stickbow with no sights accurately is no easy task. Bowhunting had to be learned all over again. The set-ups that worked in the past didn't work with traditional equipment. Shot distance was greatly reduced and I found that hunting lower in a treestand work better giving me a better shot angle since my shots were at much shorter distances. Hunting closer and lower meant that I had to set up entirely different that I did with my compound. I had to find areas to set up where the deer would funnel past closer by to afford me a shot and I had to learn how to set up with some cover to hide my figure which was more exposed at a lower height (which isn't easy).
What I guess that I'm trying to say is using traditional equipment has raised the level of satisfaction that I receive from bowhunting and any buck I take. That's something I wasn't feeling when using my compound bow during the last years using it. As I said, everyone is different and what has breathed new life into my bowhunting may not work for you but it is something to think about. I work with guys that hunt with compound and even crossbows but when I get a decent buck with my longbow or recurve ( I switched to a recurve 3 years ago) they can't believe it. They struggle getting a buck with their equipment and seem to marvel that I am able to bag a buck with my bow. Makes me feel kind of good. I've worked with a lot of guys that bowhunt but have never worked with anyone that uses a stickbow. My feeling is that placing restrictions on my equipment takes me to another level and as long as I feel challenged, I think I'll have the drive to keep hunting.
I know that you are a good hunter and you always seem to fill your tags quickly, heck, you bagged a nice 8pt your first time out hunting this year. I can't help but think that you are where I was in the above story. If I were to just go out to the woods, whack a deer and have to haul it in clean it, cut it up and wrap it, I'd be thinking about how much work it is too and I might be questioning if I really needed extra work (you know I'm really kind of lazy). If it didn't take much more effort to bring in a deer than it takes to go to the grocery store to buy a freezer full of meat, I might think twice about waking up early and sitting in the cold to fill my freezer. What drives me the the challenge that I face in trying to bag a nice buck and the restrictions I put on my equipment increased that challenge. I hate to see you loose your hunting desire because if you don't have that desire, Grayson probably won't either. Your love of Cubs has rubbed off on him but my guess is if you didn't have that love, he wouldn't be to interested in Cubs either.

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
I've been seeing quite a few bucks this year, unlike last year. I've missed some opportunities on a few nice ones but connected with a decent 8 pt. today.
It gave me a chance to use my Cub to carry the buck out of the woods.
In Michigan we get 2 buck tags. One is restricted ( must have 4 points on one side) and one non-restricted where we can shoot any deer buck or doe. Guess I'll run to town and get another tag this afternoon.

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
Sorry for the late reply Rick ( stick bow guy ), I'd read your posting earlier in the week but hadn't time to answer just yet.
Your so right about everything just as you said last year... So right that I've let 3 bucks walk this week while doing the trophy hunter thing. and that trophy hunting is definitely not my thing.
Like you said after so many years and 100 plus harvests it's become mechanical and there's a 60 yard circumference that anything can step in and it's all over.
My older brother starts each season with a recurve and then goes to compound once the rutting starts so I'll hang out with him a little next practice season and see what this stick bowing is all about.
Thanks again so much Rick, you older guys are so dang smart....
Congrats on a wonderful harvest, I'd call that a real wall hanger, and taken with a stick bow. Those guys at work will be as thrilled for you as I am

Re: How's your Deer Season going?
My son Andy and his team mate Blake bagged this nice horse head buck this evening. They've been stalking this buck since mid Sept. vowing to take him with a bow. They alternate each hunt, one guy high in a perch above the other filming the hunt. Unfortunately it was Andy's turn to film, but it was a victory for the boys regardless. To me, the best part was a couple of young men, coming up with a plan, sticking to it for a long as it took to get the desired results. Blake posing with the nice buck....hope I get a backstrap from this endeavor.

Wow! I think I'm slowly becoming a hop-head. I was fighting it, not wanting to join the darkside.
This beer pours a golden amber with only a slight head forming on the glass. Very good lacing throughout the entire glass.
The smell is, would you guess it, hops. Plenty of hops and all kinds of hops. I'm getting some citrus smells as well as some resiny floral hops.
The taste is very close to the smell. An all out attack on the taste buds with some overly bitter hops controlling all senses of taste. The bitterness is only during the sip though. No lip puckering or squinting coming as a result of this beer. Quite enjoyable.

Pours a deep gold with a fluffy two finger head atop that settles nicely leaving a sheet of lace behind,big brassy hop in the aroma and quite herbal that really sticks out a touch of pineapple is there but the pine is the most noticable here.Well if you like hops this is it for you,herbal and piney with a nice underlying citrus zest a lightly sweet malt backbone appears but is small compared to the big hops.Wow the alcohol is prevalent here mainly in the finish quite zippy and stronger as the beer warms.A big flavorful IPA in your face the alcohol keeps me from wanting to drink much though.

Appearance - Light orange in color and very hazy with some visible carbonation. The head came up modestly but what was there looked great and showed good retention.
Smell - The complex hops are led off by the huge pine resin. This aspect of the aroma is extremely strong. Other than Silver City's Whoop Ass IPA I can't think of anything else that I've had with this sharp of a scent.
Taste - Yes, this one is the hop monster. It tastes similar to Jack's Double Dry-Hopped IPA. The pine resin is big as Mt. Ranier and is as strong as I've had to date.
The complex nature of the ale comes out next. The balance achieved by all of these flavors is incredible. The effect is that you have these huge flavors that should kill a horse, yet they all go down smoothly. Too good for words.
Mouthfeel - This shares the exceptional balance and smoothness with its Hop Devil cousin. It is well over medium-bodied.
Drinkability - Too much hops? Never! This ale was exceptional and lived up to the hype.
Comments - Huge thanks to francisweizen for sending me a few of these bad boys.
Update - I first tried this beer in 2004 so thought I'd revisit the review in 2010. The ale has mellowed quite a bit. I don't know if they changed the recipe but its much more mainstream now. This is still a terrific beer but I've had to slightly drop a few of m ratings down a bit.

Hop Wallop pours a golden-yellow straw color into a snifter. A medium pour results in a one-finger head that recedes swiftly and leaves about 75% coverage of nearly pure-white film. I can see some fine sediment throughout the body of the beer, along with small carbonation bubbles that climb at a jogging pace. Lacing left on the glass is quite clingy and leaves big dots and curvy streaks.
I have to be honest, this aroma is really confusing me. My first thought was of a Belgian golden ale as it has a really clean, biscuit-like yeast scent. As it warms a bit, the aroma becomes more freshly floral, with some citrus notes of tangerine and faint grapefruit. Pine, grass, and resin round out the hop profile. Caramel malts nudge their way into the aroma, too, but my main impression is of floral hops and biscuit malt and yeast.
A dry biscuit and pine hop combination debuts on my palate, then a good caramel malt flavor jumps into the equation. All the while, a pairing of resin and really bitter grapefruit nibbles at the the bitter receptors of my palate. Throughout the sip, overtones of flowers, grass, and earth emerge. The flavor is well-balanced for a Double IPA and has the prototypical moisture-sucking finish of bitter hops.
The mouthfeel is essentially about the bitterness of the hops and how they bite at my palate, but the middle of the sip does have a fleeting influence of creamy caramel malt. I would say the carbonation is a little low for the style and the body is on the lighter side of medium.
This is a fairly drinkable Double IPA that has a really huge, bitter hop character. For some reason, though, everything about this beer just seemed a little muted to me, like the aromas and flavors just didn't reach their full potential. I can think of at least a handful of Double IPAs that I would pick over this one, but it is good and I will have it again.

Victory Hop Wallop... 8.5% alcohol as stated on bottle. Santa is getting a little buzz on the label... classic.
A- Pours a demanding yellow orange fluid that produces a mild but lasting head. Brew glows in light with nice hazing effect of burnt orange in sunlight with lasting lacing on glass.
S- Straight up fresh hops. Grapefruit, orange, grass, lemon and dry-hopped husk. Mild alcohol scents.
T-M- Taste is steller with a bitter bite for GOD himself! Nothing but hop oils, bitter grapefruit and fresh cut grass husk flavors. Mouthfeel is excellent with not a damn thing stopping you from drinking. Tart feel from hops sting the tongue but fall to a fresh after taste leaving me wanting more.
D- Drink as much as you can find... I will find this beer again and drink all i can find!
Bro approved. (Chasebrownyeah1)

Poured from a 12oz bottle into an imperial pint glass.
A: Light orange amber. Quite clear with a little haze. Slow moving carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass. Gave a nice yellowy white fluffy one finger head. Immediate lacing.
S: Big hop. Some grapefruit, some floral and pine. I was expecting a more powerful nose.
T: Pretty aggressive hop in this brew. Not that I am complaining. I had a HopSlam earlier in the evening and they are very different. The front is sweet malt influenced grapefruit and the back is more of a floral with a strong piney bite that lasts well into the aftertaste. There's a hint of soapiness but not in a bad way. It's a "no messin' around" type beer. I think it is meant to be explicit in it's delivery of hopness. Pretty darned good in my book! The alcohol is pretty well masked. It sneaks in here and there.
M: The light side of medium bodied. The bite and medium carbonation deliver a nice thirst quenching dry crispness.
D: I like this beer a great deal. I think it's a great way of getting your hop fix on. If you don't like an aggressive hop bite, this may not be the one for you. I'd be happy to recommend it and pick it up again.

A: Poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle. Pale gold in color with small white head quickly diminishing to a white ring. Great lacing.
S: Huge floral citrus hop aroma.
T: Initial taste on the tongue is light of pale malt and then - WHAM! There is a sudden burst of sharp and pleasantly bitter hops that just keeps rolling well past the finish. As the bitterness fades in the finish that pale malt hint of sweetness resurfaces.
M&D: Light to moderate mouthfeel with moderate carbonation that goes great with the sharp hop bite. Despite the robust flavor the brew goes down quite smoothly with a relatively clean tight finish. Nice.

12 oz bottle poured in a Duvel tulip
Appearance - Pours a crystal clear golden yellow, with a nice creamy head that settles quite quickly
Smell - Incredibly citrusy piney aroma. Subtle hints of lemon as well.
Taste/Mouthfeel - This beer is all about the hops. Medium bodied brew, with a malt backbone that is always masked by the hops. It's hard to recognize much else in the taste other than the huge citrus piney blast from the hops. Citrus flavor lingers around even in the aftertaste. Excellent.
One excellent double IPA....Hop Wallop is an great example of the style.

I found this to be an excellent IIPA. It had a nice orangey gold appearance, which was slightly hazy. There were hints of grapefruit in the aroma & palate. Strong bouquet & very bitter, clan finish. I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. Although very strong & bitter, I did not find it too overpowering. I would suggest it to other fans of strong IPA's.

I can really find nothing wrong with this beer! Beautiful pour with an inviting golden color coupled with a nice white head producing a lot of lace. Great citrus and pine notes in the scent with a very clean malt in the background. Flavor was perfect for a DIPA with wonderful citrus hops and clean malt to balance everything out. A nice dry finish with great mouthfeel rounds out this winner. Go and get some now!

Pours an utterly standard gold color. Fair amount of lacing. Smells hoppy, natch, mostly pine and grapefruit. Taste is the same, very hoppy, with mostly bitter grapefruit flavors dominating. Alcohol is quite present.
I hate to say it, but I'm not impressed with this beer. It's just too bitter, but not in a lipsmackingly good way. I won't be buying this one again.
I love the label though.

My long awaited first Hop Wallop...here it goes!! Pours a shiny golden neon orange with small white head. Citrusy, fresh cut grassy hoppiness with hints of lemon, orange and grapefruit.
First sip is a nice shot of citrusy, grassy/piney hops. A swirling blend of orange and graperfruit notes dance across my palate before the biterness hits on the back. A nice caramel biscuity malt attempts to break out through the hops. Yummy.
Mouthfeel is nice with a creamy texture...but a little thin for me. I look for a bit more body in my double ipa's. Drinkability is excellent...a tasty brew that I could easily make a session out of. Thanks to blitheringidiot for the opportunity.

Finally get a chance to try the loved hop wallop.
I thought I was pouring a bud light. Had to go back and check other's reviews to make sure it was supposed to be this light. Pours a straw color. Crystal clear. Thick white cap floated on top for a while then reduced leaving a thick ring of lace. Besides the color this beer looks like it is hitting the mark. I still can't get over the color...
Aroma doesn't do anything for me. I hardly get anything out of it. Has a grassy, herbalness to it. A bit of biscuit sweetness. A little floral essence.
Geez...what a difference in the flavor. Initially coats the mouth with a thick layer and a spicy burn takes over the back of the throat. Definately a new interpretation of the style for me. I like how this one isn't just another west coast wannabe DIPA. Lots of resin bitterness. Not much malt to balance really, but does come through with some sweet biscuit again. I agree with the notion of others that this is a kicked up Prima Pils. Lots of the same profile.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but coats the mouth well initially. Finishes a little dry. Nice and crisp overall. Ridiculously drinkable. No hint of alcohol, one-off flavor, plenty of resin bitterness, light on the stomach are all qualities making this beer super drinkable. Its just too easy to put down.

Thick bone-white head with super-pale body. Impressive how Victory got such a potent beer to be so light colored. The little story on the bottle label gives the impression that they used 3 different types of hops for this beer. Lovely floral hop smell. The taste is a powerful blast. Super bitter aftertaste, actually kind of harsh, with noticeable alcohol flavor. Thick & meaty mouthfeel. I enjoyed drinking this one bottle, but I think any more than that at one time would be pushing it.

This well-reviewed beer was eagerly anticipated. I've enjoyed all of the Victory beers that I can get here in Maine. In a tulip glass, the beer was a clear golden color with a thick white head that left plenty of lacing. Strong floral/pine aroma. I could only taste pine, with a little bit of sweetness. Nice lingering bitterness. This was a fine beer.

safety pin diy
so the other day I had exactly one stud in my jacket and thought; studding till my fingers bleed, no way...
see this evil twinkle in my eyes.....
safety pins
I give you a 1000 possibilities haha :) you can actually align them, you can put them on your shoulders and attach pins on pins to create volume, you can attach chains to the pins and loop them, you can pin the lapels alone, you name it...
I actually choose to mix match them to give it an embroidered feel, but you can totally do it neatly and more clean...
All you need is a jacket or vest and safety pins, and for even more possibilities on which clothing to use check out the selection of wholesale clothing at Apparel Showroom. With plenty of styles, colors and sizes to choose from, it's easy to create your own fashions and look great everyday and still maintain a budget.

Safety pins are so versatile in fashion..I really like what you did mixing the gold, silver and bronze colored pins together with chains. Its kind of a variation on the studded blazer which is so ubiquitous right now.

Product Description
MKzine was the only magazine exposing coercive mind control, invasive; non-consensual human experimentation and other related abuses. Here are a few reviews:
"It has been my intention to sit down and read the first issue of MKzine from cover to cover. Because this issue is so jammed packed with information which is intellectually challenging and in some cases, emotionally disturbing, I found I had to digest it in several readings.
To be honest, I had prejudged this magazine as probably just some disinformation mind control group's effort at watering down the truth. I was so pleasantly surprised that it proved to be just the opposite. The content is so complete, yet varied in its appeal. I found the balance of short articles mixed with longer ones to be most helpful. The contributors are actual survivors or experts who have done their homework in presenting personal stories, cases, facts and statistics.
I look forward to reading additional issues and expect it to continue the groundbreaking forum that Ron Patton, Publisher, has opened for the truth to be shown without it being looked at as just another conspiracy drama."
Carol Rutz, Author of, "A Nation Betrayed: Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on Our Children and Other Innocent People"
"Thank you so much for sending me a copy of MKzine. It is really good – the first publication I've gotten about these issues I've felt good about.
Anyway, thank you so much for putting the magazine out. It's a real encouragement to me."
Kathleen Sullivan, Author of, "Unshackled: A Survivor's Story of Mind Control
"Thank you very much for sending us a copy of MKzine — took a look at it and it's excellent. Quite possibly the best magazine on the market right now. What I was most impressed with was the depth into which you explored each topic.
In a day and age where our collective attention span seems to keep growing shorter and shorter, it's refreshing to see a publication not shy away from the meat and potatoes of an issue. So yes…keep up up the excellent work."
Victor Thorn, Publisher of Sisyphus Press
"We are so pleased that you have the courage to go after the False Memory Syndrome movement by printing information about ritual abuse. It will be by standing tall and speaking clearly about the heinous crimes ritual abuse-torture perpetrators have inflicted upon infants, toddlers, youth and vulnerable adults, that society will be forced to grant justice for such horrible human rights violations.
We are proud to be part of such a human rights movement.
Linda McDonald, RN and Jeanne Sarson, RN: Persons against Ritual Abuse-Torture and other non-political tortures

Sized for high beds.Why Use Pet Stairs?:A Step in the Right Direction When you love your little dog as much as you do, you want to have them with you at all times. Of course they always want to be with you, too, that's why we choose the small guys! But often when we'd like to have them with us the most, such as while we are watching TV in bed, reading on the sofa, or snoozing in our favorite chair, it can be a real challenge for them to jump up and join you – those little legs just can't reach! You certainly don't want them leaping off a high surface and injuring their legs either. Another concern is hip and joint deterioration due to aging. The older our pets get, the less they can do, and we should always protect them from hurting themselves at this vulnerable time. Don't despair, though, there's a wonderful selection of doggie stairs available today to fit the needs, and tastes, of any caring mom or dad. Foam steps come in different heights to accommodate different needs, and you can accessorize them with covers to match your décor. Molded steps are wider and better for the unsure pup that needs more space to stand on as he or she goes up and down. The beautiful hardwood variety adds a touch of elegance to any room.More Articles:Learn the health advantages of pet steps, readA Little Helping Step Goes a Long Way!.

Post subject: MS pushing themselves out of the market?
I read somewhere that Vista will only ship on OEM pcs, as MS are largely blaming the instability of Windows on 'dodgy' hardware. To install drivers they will need to be digitally signed, similar to when XP says that the driver may not be supported, except that Vista will just say it isnt supported and won't give you the option to carry on installing. Now it seems to me that this has to be one of the worst decisions any company could make, they will close off that Niche market of people that want to build their own, and will probably lose a fair few gamers as well.
How many people are likely to install (for example) MS Office and receive you need at least Windows Vista to continue? And how many people after that are likely to go out and buy a whole new PC just to run that application? IMHO not many.
A lot of gamers probably won't upgrade very quickly either, most hardcore gamers I know have spent a lot of money on getting their machines to a high spec, most of them would rather continue to play games on XP for a while and get the most out of their hardware than to go and buy a new PC and have to reupgrade that.
I think as long as people know there is an alternative, Vista could signal the beginning of a huge change over between Operating Systems. Not necessarily to Linux though undoubtedly there will be at least a few change.
Anyone have any other thoughts?

is xp still unstable? i found it a real pain in the backside when i first got it about 2 years ago,but i haven't found it to be so recently as mine doesn't crash (unlike mandriva), on my daughters laptop it has been fine straight out of the box
and to be honest both my wife and daughter would rather go out and buy a pc with windows 95 than one with linux on it.perhaps osx is going to be the new windows?
or maybe everything i have said is wrong

No idea, I havent used XP in a while, in fact I havent used Windows at all in a while come to think of it. OSX could well be, especially with guides popping up on the net showing you how to install it on an ordinary PC rather than one of Apples PCs

Wahey !
So MS have finally realised what Apple, Sun, IBM et al figured out years ago... if you want your operating system to be considered truly solid & stable you have to restrict the hardware set it runs on.
Of course, one could speculate that they haven't realised anything; they're just trying to ensure that all Vista machines have hardware DRM installed on them so they can control what you do with your machine...

The thought that occurred to me is that as it stands MS have got a pretty good deal (for them) with the OEM suppliers, in fact upgrade disks and whatnot probably make a lot less revenue per sale for them. Plus Upgrade disks are easier to pirate, because although most OEM suppliers don't do it, it is possible to lock a CD to only install on one of their machines (much like apples intel macs)
Although having played with the beta of Vista, it may just be that they realise how high the minimum specs are compared to a lot of home PCS at the moment, so to try and avoid outrage etc are just going to insist you buy a new pc!

MS pushing themselves out of the market?
Don´t ever underestimate the market of Windows users.
Just like Mac users they will buy whatever is thrown at them.
Only difference about Apple is that they, well below a good market share need to keep their users happy.
Business thinking: The possible cost of introducing a new os (Mac or Linux) may be significant. Let´s stick with Microsoft they must have gotten it right this time.
Or: This virus has cost us time and money i don´t think we can afford an upgrade right now.

Many people said the same about IBM and they vanished from the public eye very quickly in the early 90's (ok their profit margin didn't drop but in terms of market share they went from begin the big boys to almost where Sun are now).
MS will disappear as all companies do its just a matter of how and when. The problem MS have is most Linux and Mac users are quite content with their platforms and are unlikely to change to Windows. On the other hand the average Windows user spends most their time complaining about Windows.
Theres likely going to be an attrition battle, I think Windows will lose market share by small amounts with every new release. Not to mention that OSS is growing stronger, companies like Red Hat are seeing 40% increase in their stock value a year. Linux development is faster than Windows development and there is little to choose between them in terms of functionality now. As more 3rd parties develop for Linux (Nero have joined that list now) we will see an acceleration not a slow down.
While Windows has huge loyalty I don't think they have it as much as the other platforms have.

Perhaps not the 90%... But they will still be in good business.
Future computer market will also diverce so that we will see Linux, Mac and Win. in an ever expanding area. By now we already see embedded, cellphones and multimedia as new operating system areas (yes, Linux has been embedded a long time but have Windows been so?).
I agree that Linux is developed faster and i am thrilled to see it.
Not to mention what Linux is on servers.
A couple of years ago Balmer had he´s rants against open source and compared it to cancer; it affects everything it touches.
I´m sure he had some plans to use some open source in Vista and desided to read the license
But OSS developers and distributors are also limited by their own license.
Linux would have a lot better market penetration if distros had all codecs, Flash plugin, ati/nvidea and everything you´d like to install stright from the downloadable distro.

Some distros do have codecs (Mepis, Linspire etc). I think its a case of eventual standardisation. In time somebody will package and sell a codec pack that will be usable across distros (you can still get the dubious free ones obviously). Also not all codecs work in Windows, I always install k-lite to cover this but thats hardly out of the box. WMF works and MP3s half works out of the box in Windows (no ripping is worthless to me). I'm not sure about Macs since I've never used one consistently.

The main effort is to combat piracy and to avoid compatability problems. It may also be a new way of 'locking' manafacturers into MS only contacts so to push Linux out of the market

Does it get more inefficient the more money you spend on it or have MS gone socialist and said 'pointless bloat for all'.

In a nut shell (grin).
This "must be in total control" mind set that MS/BillG have ... it's probably their main weakness. And so becomes a good entry point for resistance/over throw efforts.

Personally, I think restricting directx 10 to vista was a bad move, I still run XP on one of my PC's purely for gaming, but I'm not going to fork out for Vista just because I want a newer directX.
If they are restricting Vista to OEM only then it merely makes it more annoying.
With more and more games having native linux ports, or at the least running under wine or cedega, I have a feeling my XP gaming box may end up as Linux too.
(before anyonme comments on 1st post, it isn't, or maybe it is, depends if LXF changed forums since a year or so ago, couldn't even remember my old username let alone password :p )

Several hardware vendors have already attempted to lock their users into Windows by simply not releasing drivers for their devices on platforms other than Windows.
The costs of upgrading may well determine the fate of Windows itself. It is bad enough that we are paying in excess of $3.00 for a gallon of gasoline here in the US...and with the price of groceries, education, and transportation going up, I just hope we have enough arms and legs to pay for the costs of upgrading.

The New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk practices, ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge who was subsequently removed from the case, have led to convictions just 3 percent of the time, the state attorney general's office found.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman released a report Thursday showing that 75,000 guilty pleas or conviction at trial resulted from about 2.4 million stops from 2009 to 2012. The tactic has been assailed by civil rights groups, who say it unfairly targets racial minorities.
"It's our hope that this report - the first of its kind - will advance the discussion about how to fight crime without overburdening our institutions or violating equal justice under the law," Schneiderman said in a statement. The attorney general hasn't stated a position on the tactic.
The report used police and court data to examine offenses charged at the time of arrests, whether charges were reduced by the time of convictions, and racial disparities, according to Schneiderman's office.
Only 0.3 percent of all stops, or about 7,200, led to defendants' serving jail or prison sentences for more than 30 days, according to the report. Just 0.1 percent of stops, or about 2,400, led to convictions for violent crimes, it said.
A police spokesman said the report ignores crimes prevented by the practice.
"The report is clearly flawed, which is why it makes absolutely zero recommendations," John J. McCarthy, a spokesman for the department, said in an emailed statement. "This analysis somehow just ignores situations where an officer's action deters or prevents a crime from occurring in the first place. Those situations never result in an arrest, conviction or jail time because a crime is prevented."
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin can't challenge her removal from the suit over the stop-and-frisk tactic, which she found unconstitutional.
The court said Scheindlin ran "afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States judges" by making remarks to the press while the case was pending and suggesting that lawyers opposing the tactic use a court rule to steer a case to her. The appeals court said it made no findings of misconduct or bias on her part.
New York City appealed her ruling and won a stay from the appeals court delaying changes she ordered during the appeal.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg criticized Scheindlin's ruling and backed the city's appeal. Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News.
Bill de Blasio, the Democrat elected Nov. 5 to replace Bloomberg as mayor, opposed stop-and-frisk in his campaign and said he will withdraw the city's appeal.
In a separate report released Thursday, the New York Civil Liberties Union said it found a rise in discriminatory policing during the Bloomberg administration.
A survey of 5,000 city residents showed people who had negative contacts with police, such as being stopped and frisked, were less likely than others to turn to the police when in need of help or when witnessing a crime.
"People of color have borne an outsize burden of this injustice, but it impacts every New Yorker and the safety of the city as a whole when entire communities are afraid of the very police force that is supposed to protect them," Donna Lieberman, executive director of the organization, said in a statement.

Today, as the day draws to a close, the Jewish community will ring in year 5773 as part of the celebration of Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year. The festivities run from nightfall Sept. 16 until nightfall on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
Rosh Hashanah, which literally means "head of the year," signals the beginning of the High Holy Days. Yom Kippur, or Day of Atonement, marks the end, and together they are two of the holiest days for Jews.
Like most New Year celebrations, Rosh Hashanah is a time of introspection and a time to bring about changes in the coming year. The traditional blowing of the shofar, or ram's horn, during services on Rosh Hashanah marks a time to contemplate past mistakes and find ways to make things right.
On this day, as on Sabbath, Jews avoid work and spend the day with family. And where there's a family gathering, can food be far behind? It's no surprise that after services Jewish families tuck into an elaborate spread of traditional dishes.
The day begins with eating apples dipped in honey, in hopes that the new year will also be sweet. Another tradition is to bake challah, a round-shaped bread that is a symbol of the circle of life.
So, it's time to get into that festive mood! Patch has come up with some great recipes that will make your Rosh Hoshanah meal extra special this year.
Newton Patch contributor Wendy Schapiro shared her family recipe for a mouth-watering, traditional meal complete with , and .
