This weekend marks the 47th annual Gaspee Days celebration and organizers of the three-day event, which includes a parade, fireworks, road race, and much, much more, are ready.
Are you?
"It's such a tradition in Rhode Island," said Erin Flynn, a member of the Gaspee Days Committee. "People are getting excited. It's a family tradition that goes on every year, people come home to see their friends and family—and that's just a cool byproduct of of planning a parade."
Gaspee Days is a celebration about the spark that ignited the American Revolution and the firecely independent spirit that defines the American psyche.
The H.M.S. Gaspee was a British ship used as part of Britain's crusade to tax the colonies and intercept the smuggling trade that was flourishing in Narragansett Bay and other inlets and waterways. Its commander, Lt. William Dudingston, was an elitist and arrogant Navy officer who garnered little mercy when he was shot in the groin by a group of angry colonists who ambushed the ship after it was stranded on a sandbar in pursuit of the Hannah, a colonial boat en route to Providence that had no intention of stopping for British tyrants.
The ship was set on fire and its powder kegs exploded. The event did much to tip the colonies into war with Britain and is increasingly being recognized as a pivotal moment in the American Revolution.
This year's parade will be led by someone special. The Grand Marshall will be Milton Wrath, a member of the Gaspee Days Committee for 39 years.
"I love the parade," he said.
In fact, he loves it so much his license plate reads "Gaspee."
Wrath and Gaspee Days have become synonymous. He's marched in dozens of Gaspee Days parades, served as parade chairman eight times, several times as president of the Gaspee Days Committee, several times as the spouse of the president of the Gaspee Days Committee, sometimes as a Pawtuxet Ranger and 16 times as the carrier of the Rhode Island Mace.
Also special this year will be the presence of members of the at the front of the parade.
The Mace is made of historic fragments of wood and even contains wood from the Gaspee itself. The eagle on the top of the mace was carried through the Civil War on on top of a Union flag battle staff.
And sparks will fly in Providence this year. For the first time, WaterFire will take part in this year's Gaspee Days celebration. They're calling it "The Gaspee Project," and visitors will get a chance to hear the story of the burning of the HMS Gaspee and relive the experience through art, music, tours, other events and of course, fires blazing in the Providence River.
This year also marks the first time Gaspee Days is being celebrated on the Internet, specifically on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Consider that throughout the night on Friday, the historic events on June 9, 1772 will be represented by tweets from fourteen characters who were involved in the Gaspee Affair. The tweets will be based on the actual historical record. To follow the action, look for tweets with the hashtag #WFGaspee on Twitter.
And the Gaspee Days Committee itself has embraced Twitter and Facebook to promote the weekend's events as well as to drum up excitement among visitors and attendees. Daily trivia questions about the historic raid on the British revenue schooner and the people involved in the revolutionary act have kept their Facebook page buzzing in the weeks leading up to the festivities.
"We've been able to reach a lot of people," Flynn said.
In fact, the strategy has helped rope in new members.
"I think that we've recognized that we have to get younger members joining the committee," Flynn said. "It's really helped us get younger members on the committee."
Newness aside, Gaspee Days is all about tradition and you can come to Pawtuxet Village and everything you'd expect to see will be there: rich colonial history, fireworks, music, food, dancing, vendors and more.
"There are some things that just don't change," Flynn said.

The Dolphins' offense under Brian Daboll has been more of an attacking style, but it hasn't resulted in better red-zone play, which was magnified in the 17-16 loss to the Browns. In the loss, the 'Fins managed one touchdown and two field goals in three trips to the red zone. They are 22nd in the league in red-zone efficiency through three games. We hear that communication has been an issue for Chad Henne and his receivers. One daily team observer pointed out Henne's struggles putting touch and arc on the ball near the goal line, which was apparent in the season-opening loss to New England. WR Brandon Marshall's talent is still not being fully maximized inside the opponent's 20. In 17 games with Miami, Marshall has seven catches on 21 targets (33.3 percent) for 51 yards in the red zone with four touchdowns. In his four seasons in Denver, he caught 41 of the 78 balls thrown to him (52.5 percent) in the red zone for 304 yards and 18 scores.

Select Route:
Rap in 60' to this ledge (lower your ropes to keep them dry) and climb back up on the large corner and crack. A good climb overall, but short, even for this area.
From the overlook with handrails below the parking lot, walk East 10 meters past the Tree rap for B-25 and continue another 10 meters to stop above this climb. You will see a good platform-like ledge down below you, 3/4 of the way to the water and large enough in size to enjoy the belay.

Massey Harris Pony ?

Massey Harris Pony ?
Have found a nice original Massey Harris Pony a few mile from here. Also its the first tractor shown in RFDTV's Classic Tractor Calendar this week. Looks like a neat little machine.
I like this tractor, BUT..Compared to the Farmall Cub:
How is parts availablity?
How many were made?
What are they worth
Anyone had experience with these?
Never owned one myself, but have thought about it a few times.
Price is a bit higher than Cubs, sinsce most people are selling them as collectors tractors.
Parts and attachments are considerably harder to find, since they never became nearly as popular as a Cub.
People I know who have owned them really liked them.

Re: Massey Harris Pony ?
I thought we resolved this issue at CubFest 2004! Maybe we did this before you arrived?
There's old Scruffy pulling his heart out! The Pony does have a couple more horsepower, and maybe a little more weight.
Actually, both tractors dug holes and it was a draw.

George I member now, but fergot before you reminded me...Man.. that seems like it was a long time ago. I had a great time
He wants $800. The motor is stuck.
There was about a 2 month running ad in the local paper here for a 1948? good running MH-Pony with many attachments for $1795 if that is any indication of what they are selling for. I never did go look at it for fear that I would probably bring it home with me. Who knows, I might have missed out on a great deal.
Then came Bronson
john, a good running pony with all the sheet metal in good shape would have been a buy at 1750 without the implements.

is me then. Oh well, I still haven`t finished My Cub yet. Gotta wait for good weather and that will be a month or 3. I have another Cub and a 1944 J.D.-LA being delivered this spring when the snow leaves the mountains so I will have more work than I can handle.
Then came Bronson
I had o 1947 Pony. I redid the whole thing It looked some sweet. I had a mower, Plow, cultivators to go with it. It did run nice. but..... it was a massey and I'm kinda partial to the farmalls and deere's. The seial # was 100091, making it the90th pony ever made. They started with 100001. I sold it to my neighbor whose father had oneon the farm when they first came out. I had all manuals with it too. Sold it for 2500.00.
My dad once told me if it wasn't for bad luck......I wouldn't have any luck at all......
Stuck motor and all I would like to see it over here instead of sitting along the highway. Have been reading the adventures of KenHigginbotham. Probably could get this one running if I could call someone like JP or Tom for a part needed. Anyone know more about parts availability for the Pony
Surprisingly there are a few lads on this forum who are Pony owners and a few of us who have chums who have Pony's. They were very popular here and David usually has access to Pony, Pacer and Mustang parts on a regular basis which would make the parts reasonable.
My buddy Roger who is my electrician and my lobster fishing chum own's a Pony. I have been helping find parts for him on the net through our forum and the Massey Harris forum.
So far we have gotten him the sickle mower, a single plow and a belt pulley for the mower for him -- most of it still sitting beside my IH implements.
As I said the Pony was very popular here for some reason, and they are quite collectible but kinda common. Nice tractor, but I still favour my Cub - much prettier I find and easier to like than the Pony. I guess it is all about lines and asthetics which really is a personal preference.
They are a good tractor and very restorable.
You might want to rescue that Pony after all. Besides, be nice to have another tractor that is in the same class as a Cub, but not really ifn you know what I mean

The "HOT LINE ANTIQUE TRACTOR GUIDE" says there were 21,669 Pony's built. It had a Continental 4 cylinder engine with 62 cu in, 2.375 X 3.50 bore & stroke, 8.31 drawbar hp, 10.34 belt PTO hp, weight of 1,520 lbs.
The Pony was a Canadian (Woodstock, Ontario) built tractor which probably accounts for the availablity of implements and used parts there. It used the same engine as an Allis Chalmers G.
Yup! Canadian built.
Lest someone gets the wrong idea, the engine is the same size Continental as an Allis G but they do not interchange.

The Pony along with ALL the other Massey Harris tractors were designed and built in Canada. Massey turned into Massey-Harris Ferguson in the late 50's and then into Massey-Ferguson a couple years later.
This company also shared the same type of heritage as IH. Small company, buys other small companies and becomes big company over time.
Cockshutt is another very popular make around here - again a Canadian company.
There are some Oliver's but not many.
A chum of mine up the road has a Cub, a Pony (actually 2), a Pacer, 2 Allis G's, and a bunch I cannot remember at the moment. I think he just likes tractors. The last one he rebuilt was a JD2... Dozer. Nice!

Massey Harris also had a plant in Racine, Wisconsin that they obtained when they bought out Wallis.

Singled Out: "The Ills Of The World Are A Subject That People Avoid Talking About"
Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 8:15AM
[SOHH highlights a hot single each week and offers a unique look at the song. After New York rapper The Kid Daytona explains why "God Is Good", ex-Little Brother MC Big Pooh talks about his new song "Make it Thru".]
"Make it Thru" is a joint I did with Joe Scudda. It's one of those tracks where we're just talkin' about personal experiences. Scudda speaks on his experiences growing up ... even though he grew up outside the city, he still saw some of the same things that went on.
With my verse, I discuss the same thing on a worldly perspective. The ills of the world are a subject that people avoid talking about, but I see it all. So I decided to speak on it.
The hook came built into the song by way of Kobe, an artist that's with the song's producer, DJ Khalil. He's a very talented guy, he's done hooks for guys like Snoop Dogg.
It's funny because Joe selected himself to be on this song. When I got the track, I was in the studio playing it back, he happened to walk right in and was like, "Yo, I want in on that."
Big Pooh is a rapper from North Carolina. Formerly of the rap group Little Brother, his solo album, "Dirty, Pretty Things," is available now.
Check out "Make it Through" below:

River and Earth Adventures stands out from other wilderness outfitters by being completely operated by their own guides. Their fleet of seasoned cave, mountain, and water-navigating guides work in tandem with professional ecologists and geologists, focusing Blue Ridge Mountains excursions on environmental education as well as adventure. During all day trips, guides divulge area history and expound on forest and river ecosystems as well as geology in caves whose interiors rest at 60 degrees year-round to keep them free of snowman hermits.
Each trip also immerses adventurers in athletic activity, whether on hikes to summits and secluded waterfalls, spelunking through electricity-free cave tunnels, or rafting and kayaking down the Watauga River rapids. For those in search of extended excursions, guides lead children's adventure day camps and combination trips that further an environmental focus and bottle-cap collections through river cleanup projects.
When patrons exit RiverGirl Fishing Co.'s historic train depot for their aquatic kayak and tubing lessons, they're placed in the charge of the outfit's founder, Kelly McCoy. During tours of the New River, which runs north through Todd, she educates guests about the area's natural landscape.
During the winter she heads to Florida, where she leads groups out onto the calm, peaceful waters of the Choctawatchee River from access points such as the Port Washington boat ramp near Eden Garden State Park, the scenic 30-acre gulf coast, or the black creek, and then guides the flotilla into the region's untamed natural beauty. As a fisheries biologist, Kelly's passion helps visitors and locals enjoy the surrounding landscape with conservation-conscious activities.
Since 2001, Extreme Snowboard and Ski has populated the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort with snow sportsters outfitted with rental and retail equipment, as well as apparel from brands such as Neff, Loki, and Grenade. The ski shop's prime location at the entrance to mountain makes it a convenient stop for downhillers in need of rental skis or snowboards, a new pair of Spy or Smith goggles, or equipment tuning performed by the onsite repair technicians. The tech team treats skis and boards with the help of a Wintersteiger Micro 91, restoring their functionality and refining their bottoms until they can slide over snow with powder-cutting grace.
People tend to walk slowly across the Mile High Swinging Bridge, though not out of fear. The view is enough to slow anyone's steps. Spanning an 80-foot chasm one mile above sea level, the bridge grants 360-degree views of the mountains, specifically a rugged peak that rises to 5,946 feet: Grandfather Mountain. Recognized by the United Nations as one of the world's most diverse nature preserves, Grandfather Mountain bristles with verdant pines and wild flowers in full bloom, including the pinkshell azalea. The flower only grows in northwest North Carolina, and Grandfather Mountain claims the largest population.
Even on the eleven backcountry trails, hikers aren't inclined to move very fast. Up-close views of the area's wild flora and fauna are enough to inspire quiet, peaceful strolls. And on one trail?Grandfather Trail?cables and ladders physically challenge hikers as they climb to the mountain's peak. Other trails, meanwhile, wind past the park's seven animal habitats, where the likes of bears, cougars, and bald eagles live in their natural environments with their expert Feng Shui.
Although primarily an outdoor attraction, Grandfather Mountain does encompass a few indoor destinations. The Nature Museum chronicles the mountain's history?which stretches back billions of years to a time when the Earth still wore diapers?with two-dozen exhibits, including Indigenous American artifacts and mineral displays. Luckily, the park's onsite naturalists can help make sense of it all. Before or after exploring the mountain and its past, visitors can fuel up at the onsite restaurant or, if they can't bear to spend time indoors, picnic outside.
The PCIA-certified climbing instructors at Rock Dimensions lead guests through a variety of vertical activities that range from the in-air discovery course to half-day or full-day rock-climbing excursions. Using their years of rock-climbing experience and local expertise, they teach all levels and ages, and equip guests with harnesses and helmets for all vertical activities.

Sorenson is Named to All-Tournament Team
October 6, 2007
Washington, D.C.- Salem College Volleyball traveled north to play in the 2nd Annual Worthington Classic Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. Salem fell to Marymount (20-30, 22-30, 18-30) and D'Youville (18-30, 17-30, 19-30) on Friday. On Saturday, Salem College rebounded to play Peace College tough only to fall by the scores of 30-32, 30-27, 29-31, 13-30. In the final game of the Classic, Gallaudet University defeated Salem 19-30, 15-30, 15-30.
Whitney Sorenson (Jr., Glendale, AZ) was named to the All-Tournament Team as she had 44 kills, 7 blocks, 7 aces and 37 digs for the weekend. Christine Tillman (FY, King, NC) had 23 kills, 21 blocks, 25 digs and 2 aces. Katie Lineberger (Jr., Maiden, NC) had 21 kills, 11 blocks, 30 digs and 1 ace. Tani Hatch (FY, Salt Lake City, UT) had 3 kills, 1 block, 3 aces and 3 digs against D'Youville College."Overall we played well in this tournament," said Head Coach Amanda Ziemba. "We played teams that were better than us and when you do that, you hope your team steps up and plays up to that level. Our team had some great moments over the weekend, but they were often overshadowed by the things we did wrong. Sometimes I have to remind myself this is young team. I have always hated it when coaches said that, but it is true. We are vastly improved from the beginning of the season and our record does not reflect the level of play these young women are capable of producing."
"I am very happy that Whitney got selected to the all-tournament team, she is our team and floor captain, and she is more than willing to do whatever I ask of her. She is the type of player a program can be built around, I wish she was not a junior and I could have her for another 3 years."

A frustrated Tony Stewart was at a loss to explain why he and his No. 14 team struggled terribly in the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice on Friday, saying he was just as puzzled as everyone else.
"I'd really like to know (why)," he said. "We're just bad right now."
Stewart ended up 42nd of the 45 drivers who participated in the opening practice at Richmond International Raceway. It might not be a big deal normally, but Stewart has to finish 14th or better to ensure his spot in the Chase's top 10 (he'd still make it as a wild card but wouldn't be able to use any bonus points).
"I'm starting to question whether somebody can drive it better than me at this point of the equation," Stewart said quietly. "I just can't get it to do what I'm wanting it to do at any point."
The defending series champion said he couldn't answer any questions about the Chase, because "I can't even get through this week right now." He also said he wasn't happy with any part of the team's racing program lately.
Of course, it was around this time one year ago when Stewart said he didn't even deserve to make the Chase. Then he won five races and the championship.
Maybe he should just say the same thing again this year.
"If that's what I thought it would take for it to work, I'd be right on it and pulling up everybody's transcripts from last year trying to make sure I get it exactly word for word," he said, managing a weak smile. "If we honestly think it works, sign me up for it."
In other Stewart-related news, the driver/team owner signed Ryan Newman to a contract extension at Stewart-Haas Racing this week despite not having a sponsor. Stewart said it was important to both he and Newman to get a deal done, even though he acknowledged it was somewhat of a risk to rehire a driver with no financial backing in place.
"You gotta start first with something," he said. "It's kind of the: 'What comes first, the chicken or the egg?' It's hard to get sponsors if you don't have a driver and it's hard to have a driver if you don't have sponsors. So we had to start somewhere."
As for Stewart's own sponsorship, he addressed the impending departure of Office Depot (which was announced last week at Atlanta). Office Depot, which has struggled in the bad economy, is cutting its involvement in NASCAR.
"I've been listening to all these politicians speak about how they're going to make things different, but I haven't seen anything get any better yet," Stewart said. "It's just hard. I'm appreciative of everything Office Depot has done for us; they were the first company to come on board with us when we started this deal. It was a hard decision for them to have to back away from it.
"I understand as a business owner what they're faced with, so I can't blame them. I understand 100 percent why they had to do what they had to do."


text: iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S appear identical. Visually, the two phones are pretty similar. The dimensions and weight are exactly the same. On the front, about the only difference you'll see is the home button. The iPhone 5 has the regular rounded square while the 5S has the new fingerprint scanner. On the back, the only difference is that the 5S has an oval shaped dual flash to the right of the lens. So if there's so little difference, why make a new phone? Continue reading »

There's Definitely More Channing Tatum In The New Trailer For G.I. JOE: RETALIATION!!
The Kidd here...
Well, Paramount certainly held up their end of the bargain, adding more Channing Tatum to G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, as evidenced by the film's new trailer (via Yahoo!). How much more is yet to be determined until we get to see the finished film at the end of March, but I think it's safe to say he doesn't get whacked in the first 10 minutes anymore.
There's not much else new to see here, as just about all of this footage was a part of the film's previous marketing campaign before the movie was pulled from the 2012 summer calender about a month before release.
The ninjas fighting on the side of the mountain and the city destruction still look pretty cool, but I'm still not exactly optimistic for the rest of the film. Pushing it back a whole year for post-conversion 3-D is hardly the stuff that instills confidence.
I hear what was shown at BNAT was received fairly well though, so maybe there is hope for a fun popcorn flick to come from this yet.

by spacehog
I don't care what year they eventually release this in or why; that image alone is genius. Weird to see how much the effects quality is all over the map; compare the ninja mountainside stuff (which I swear I read somewhere is 100% CGI, which blows my mind) to the shot of Bruce Willis in the doughnut-ing car. I know different effects houses handle different shots, and it's two completely different kinds of effects, but that's some huge disparity right there.

I vote "maybe".
by Royston Lodge
This could work, in a A-Team movie sort of way. The Good: 1) There seems to be more emphasis on the vehicles. For my money, G.I. Joe was always about the awesome vehicles. The figures/characters were kinda secondary, IMHO. I like that they seem to be trying to walk that line between plausibility and fantasy that the earlier 80s toys had (like the Skystriker and the Rattler), rather than the rediculousness of the first movie's exo-suits or the later toys that started to get really silly (remember the eco-warriors?). 2) Cobra doing the big, take-over-the-world-with-satellites thang that Cobra does so well. This is very good. Let Cobra be Cobra, and let G.I. Joe be G.I. Joe. 3) Bruce Willis FTW. 4) Ray Stevenson is in it. Win. 5) Ray Park as Snake-Eyes is always a win. The Bad: 1) Jonathan Pryce has a tendency to get a wee bit TOO campy when playing a villain. In Tomorrow Never Dies he started off well, but he descended into cartoon territory by the end of the movie. As such, I dunno if I believe him as the US President. He's better as a small, flustered character like good 'ol Sam Lowry. On the other hand, it might work for a movie like this. The Middling: 1) I don't really care one way or the other about Channing Tatum. He doesn't work as a G.I. Joe leader/commander, but he's fine as a random G.I. Joe character. Plus, I'd simply be a little annoyed if they killed off Duke, regardless of the actor playing him. 2) I'm not a huge Dwayne Johnson fan, but he looks like he could be fine. In my mind's eye though, I think of Roadblock as more of a Bubba Smith type of character, you know? 3) Adrienne Palicki? Meh. She's fine, but not a terribly strong or memorable actor. Basically, I PREFER to see two STRONG actors as Duke and Scarlett, along with a nice love triangle between Duke, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes, a la G.I. Joe Resolute, but whattayagonnado? Here's hoping they hire Warren Ellis to write G.I. Joe 3!

As far as Channing Tatum my impression of him changed after 21 Jump Street. Loved him in that and Haywire so I'm cool with him being added to the action. It made no sense to off Duke anyway. If they couldn't do it in the 80s movie you can't do it now LOL.

by kevred
It already seems odd to have Bruce Willis and this suburban stuff shoehorned into a big popcorn CG action fest. Trying to also shoehorn more Tatum into the film seems like the tipping point to turn the film into a mess. Which, to the 10-year-old in me, is too bad, as this has the look of what could be (or could have been) a fun, endearing big-dumb-action spectacle. Looks way more interesting than the first one. But I'm getting the feeling they never really knew what they wanted the film to be, and now are even confused about who it's supposed to star.

re: "Hunger Games came out in March"
by jim
Yes, but but this cost 2.5 times more to make than Hunger Games (John Carter cost 3 times as much as HG). Granted, it is being released at the end of the month (like Hunger Games was) and will avoid the ghost-town weekend that is the middle of March Break (unlike John Carter). Being the first movie of that series (and based on a popular series of books) there was high anticipation for Hunger Games. It would have done well regardless of what month it was released. This is a sequel to a movie that had less-than-stellar reviews and only an OK Box Office ($300 million worldwide). There was little anticipation for this movie last year before it got pulled from the Summer schedule. Doubtful the 9 month delay has done much of anything to change that. I doubt it will do as poorly as John Carter. However, I also doubt it will come anywhere close to doing as well as Hunger Games. It may not even do as well as the original, even with the inflated BO that 3D brings.
Dec. 12, 2012, 1:58 p.m. CST
I really don't get the Tatum popularity. There's just nothing special about the guy, in any way, at all.
by kevred
I get that a lot of women think he's good looking. But he's good looking in a very ordinary way. There are tons of actors that look as good as this guy, and guys with his body are a dime a dozen in pop culture. Beyond that, he's a complete stiff - like a male Pamela Anderson, minus her personality, charm, and social activism. That shouldn't be enough to make anyone stand out. But then, this is the age of tripe like Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray standing out. It's like the worst of modern repressed-mainstream-women psychology has taken over the entire culture. And I say this as someone whose beliefs could accurately be called feminist.

Really guys? How can any real "fan" of G.I. JOE "not" have a good, fun, stupid time with the first movie? Sure, Channing was a plank of wood, but we get the terrorist guy actually being able to play a good guy for once, Adabisi from OZ, Super hot Scarlett AND the Baroness, a good pace with lots of action... I just don't get it. And how is it that Stormshadow is coming back when he was deader than dead in the last movie? And Scarlett and EVERYONE from the last movie is dead too? This is along the level of whacking Hicks, Bishop and Newt at the beginning of ALIEN 3 (okay, maybe not THAT big.. but still pretty big). You don't kill off characters that are played by B-list celebs that won't cost you a shitload of money to begin with before, during or right after the opening credits. I think I'll be downloading this one and keep my finger on the fast-forward button.

They are ALL DEAD.
by Todaysfate
No matter how much more entertaining and satisfying this movie may be than the first one was (and it looks to be that way), it will be overshadowed and RUINED by the idea that characters such as Duke, Scarlett, and Hawk are "dead". There is no way these characters will die unless hasbro and the people behind this movie are on a financial suicide mission. IN the first trailer when its quoted "they're all dead" ... who's to say what or who that is referring to. All of the people on the scene? All of them in that one particular base. All the people at that one particular battle? Clearly ... it's not ALL the GIJOES, or there will be no further movies, comics, stories. This movie is meant to be episodic and so Hawk, Scarlett, they are just away on leave or on a different mission when these events go down. Or perhaps many of the them are jailed somewhere and not "dead". And even if they did go for something as utterly stupid as killing off all the joes as a way to simply justify not getting back the actors to play them, that does not explain where the hell DESTRO and THE BARONESS are during this one.

Iv'e been taking a bit of a hiatus on a count of a few Whack-job losers who further diminished the Talkbacks to a proverbial Shitfest. (Well at least one received the Banhammer as of late. LMMFAO) Most of you Guys are Cool though. Other than that, Life is good Comrade. Yeah, the first thing that came to mind was the spat between you and Zarles. And i gotta admit, at first i thought he was full of shit too until he delved further into the Screening citing the scene in which Cobra Commander abandons Destro while saying "you're not in the Band". And that sound like something the Director of that justin Bieber Movie would allow to be used. Zarles called it but took your skepticism a bit too personally IMO. But let's all leave as water under the bridge and all agree wether or not the sequel with "Added" footage will suck. Judging from the trailer, They got a few things right especially the satilite weapon that harkens back to the MASS Device Miniseries. Oh, And Cobra Commander actually looks like Cobra Commander. I'm hoping that atleast Retaliation will fare better than Rise of Cobra. Cause Fool me twice... (0:/

Yeah I actually got confirmation from a trusted friend that the Kicked out of the band thing was true. So I suspect our buddy Zarles was right, but it was the way he said it that I had a problem with. Oh well, I don't mind eating a little crow when called for. Water under the bridge, indeed. Yo Joe!

by Pete Susoev
...seriously, a film based on a kid toyline from the 80s. Looks like there is at least an inkling of an attempt to make it somewhat decent. The first one, all crap aside, was better than all three of Bay's attempts. And was that Jinx, the female yellow ninja? This vehicle is the same caliber as Star Trek, all boom booms with little story, and yet this gets more rage than that flacid attempt. Star Trek isn't about fucking explosions, its about exploration along a final frontier...Yo Joe on the otherhand is about explosions and prepubescent wars in your sandbox. So why the fuck not? I hate Tatum as Duke, and if he dies it won't be the first time. Who's to say the other Joes aren't just MIA or something...or for that matter, who even cares? Its not like killing them off is going to effect toy sales. Looks like what I expected...except for the North Korea jab. That shit was funny as fuck.

Fucking megastar, bitches. Get ready for all the Tatum you can handle (and them some more) over the next 30 years. The man's a Hollywood titan. Cruise did it ten years younger thou.

Let the FOOLS have their Tatum sauce.
by Sean
I had a nightmare not long ago where it was maybe 15 years in the future...at least. Most of the actor heroes of our past (your Fords, Arnie's, Hanks, Cruise...whoever...most of the big name guys) have either passed on or are retired. The best of them, who you could rely on for solid work, were long gone. New generations have come through, standards have fallen. Channing Tatum accepts an Oscar for Best Actor in a leading role...only because there was no one better than him to compete with. The Gen Y's, today's tweens have grown up and taken hold of leading the world and today's current excuses for thespians and their massive lackings in talent dominate the world's entertainment mediums. Like a talkbacker lamented in the Transformers 4 post, the Dustin Hoffmans of today have no chance against the supposedly aesthetically pleasing though vacuous model / actors / singers that we deal with and endure. The Hoffmans and Gene Hackmans of the world until the early 2000's had 40 years worth of leading and headlining the film industry. Ugly but talented. The best these kind of guys...like Buscemi, Giamatti, etc can usually hope for is a supporting role or go onto TV. With few exceptions. The same happened with music too. Older men like Billy Joel, Phil Collins and Elton John were kings, pop idols to everyone...even teenage girls in the 80's. Can't find that anymore. Too much image, too little substance.

Things today aren't that different from the 90s, 80s, 70s, etc. The Attractive Leading Man/Woman goes back to Hollywood's beginnings... it's almost part of the definition. And there are plenty of A-listers today that aren't where they are for their looks, and a number did get in for their looks, ended up being decent. Tatum is no Gary Oldman, but's he not that bad, and Kitsch was pretty decent in FNL.

PERU — Deb Duval comes from a big family — she has 16 brothers and sisters.
She has worked at Northern Orchard for a long time — more than 30 years.
So, as she battles ovarian cancer, the Peru woman has a lot of support.
In fact, a benefit for her has been set for Sunday at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 309 on Route 22B in Peru. The event, from noon to 6 p.m., will include a spaghetti dinner at $6 a plate and a Chinese auction. A DJ will provide entertainment. There will be a dart tournament and horseshoe tournament.
Among those organizing the event is Brandy Duval of Plattsburgh — one of the family.
"My husband is Deb's nephew," Brandy explained, "and I'm trying to pick up the slack while Deb and her daughter are busy going to doctor's appointments."
She said that most of the food preparation is being handled by the family, but businesses have made donations for the Chinese auction.
Donations have come from Northern Orchards, Rulfs Orchard and Adirondack Farms, where Deb's husband, Daniel, works.
The dart and horseshoe tournaments, Brandy said, will be a way to "get everyone involved" during the benefit.
"We know some people who play darts and a lot of people who play horseshoes — and they're set up for both at the VFW."
Deb's daughter, Amanda Desotell, of Peru hopes that the benefit will provide some relief for the family.
Because her mother's health-insurance coverage is limited, they need help paying for medical expenses. There's also the question of lodging in Burlington, where Deb has been going for her treatments.
"We had no arrangements at all. We were sleeping on chairs in her bedroom and in the solarium," Desotell said.
As soon as Deb, 60, was diagnosed with cancer, some of her friends began asking about arranging a benefit.

Cincinnati Bengals
John Skelton - QB
|6' 6"/ 244 lbs.
|El Paso, TX
|Years played
|2010, 5th round, 24th pick by Cardinals
Cardinals QB Lindley to start Week 15
Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt announced that QB Ryan Lindley will start in Week 15 against the Lions.
Cardinals' play beyond embarrassing
The Cardinals' losses seem to be getting worse by the week as their nine-game losing streak rolls out of control.
Skelton named Cardinals' starter for Week 14
John Skelton will return to being the Cardinals' starting quarterback, head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Wednesday.
Rookie QB Lindley gets start for Cardinals
Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt announced that rookie Ryan Lindley will start at quarterback in Week 12 vs. the Rams.
Cardinals past point of no return?
The Cardinals appear to be limping toward the finish line to complete a dismal season that was once filled with promise.
NFC West Spin cycle: Cardinals continue to stumble
Storm clouds are hovering over the Cardinals, who dropped their third game in a row and showed no signs of turning things around in Minnesota.
Kolb's status with Cardinals getting shakier
Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb's latest injury appears to have made his future in the desert look increasingly iffy.
Report: Cardinals QB Kolb out several weeks with rib injury
Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb will be out for several weeks after having multiple ribs detach from his sternum, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Arizona coach inches closer to ruling out Skelton
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is inching closer to acknowledging that Kevin Kolb will be the starting QB Sunday at New England.
Low ankle sprain for Cardinals' Skelton
Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said QB John Skelton has a low ankle sprain and is not ruled out for Week Two.
Cardinals QB Skelton carted off with ankle injury
Cardinals starting QB John Skelton was carted off the field with a right ankle injury. Kevin Kolb replaced him.
Cardinals' QB situation remains very fluid
While John Skelton will start the season as the Cardinals' starting QB over Kevin Kolb, his hold on the job remains far from firm.
Report: Skelton wins Cardinals' starting job
John Skelton will be the Cardinals' starting quarterback in Week One, according to Adam Caplan of The Sideline View.
Titans, Cardinals show right, wrong ways to stock QBs
The Titans have done a great job handling their QB transition. The Cardinals have done it the wrong way and remain in a state of confusion there.
Skelton widens edge in Cardinals' QB competition
Most observers of the battle for the Cardinals' starting QB job believe John Skelton has separated himself from Kevin Kolb.
The Bengals have acquired quarterback John Skelton off waivers from Arizona to compete for the job backing up Andy Dalton.||||||| Skelton was a fifth-round pick from Fordham in 2010 who started 17 games in three seasons, including six last year. He has completed 53 percent of his passes for 3,707 yards with 15 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
The Arizona Cardinals have released quarterback John Skelton, who started 17 games for the team over the past three seasons. The move on Monday came amid reports the team was trying to work out a trade to bring quarterback Carson Palmer from Oakland.||||||| Skelton beat out Kevin Kolb for the starting job under then-coach Ken Whisenhunt in training camp last season. He was hurt in the opener and Kolb took over.
Skelton didn't do any favors for himself while getting the start on Sunday, going 11 of 22 for 74 yards with four interceptions and a lost fumble before being replaced by Ryan Lindley.||||||| Lindley didn't fare much better in the embarrassing 58-0 defeat, going 8 of 17 for 59 yards and losing a fumble of his own.
Skelton will be back at starting quarterback when the Cardinals play the Seahawks Sunday in Seattle. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says his decision to replace rookie Ryan Lindley was based on several factors, including the environment the Cardinals will face in Seattle, where the crowd is among the loudest in the NFL and the conditions are likely to be cold and wet.||||||| Skelton says he is taking nothing for granted and just wants to complete more passes than he did when he was benched in favor of Lindley three games ago. Lindley says he understands the decision. Whisenhunt refused to replace Lindley with Skelton despite the Cardinals' woeful offensive performance in a 7-6 road loss to the New York Jets last Sunday. Arizona has lost eight in a row.
Skelton threw for 306 yards with a TD and an INT in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Green Bay.||||||| Skelton has increased his yardage total in each of his starts this season.

Even though my wife, in what has become an annual ritual, will skip having a birthday this year, it still seems right and proper for me to write Ð and properly Ð about it.
For inspiration, I only have to dig into the ridiculous mounds of stuff I have collected over the years to discover interesting things about her birthdate (August 27, for those of you breathlessly wishing to know).
Buried in these ridiculous mounds are such must-keep items as old page-a-day calendars from years gone by. Hey, all these years repeat themselves, cadence-wise, eventually, and I, eventually, won't have to put a new page-a-day calendar on my Christmas Wish List, once I've stockpiled all the various permutations of page-a-day calendars. I think this is brilliant, whereas my family thinks it's kooky.
They might not feel that way if I ever manage to convince them to sit at my feet each evening while I read them that day's page; just consider some of the entries I have on hand for August 27:
The 2007 edition of the "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" calendar. August 27 features Big Sur, California. The topics my family could discuss regarding this page are myriad; for example, that day, in 2007, was a Summer Bank Holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. But not in Scotland, land of the Stuarts. Wouldn't it be fascinating to find out why?
Ugh, they would say, and I would have to agree; even I'M not THAT boring.
But we could have a lively exchange about the description of Big Sur on the calendar entry: it explains how Big Sur is "located where the Santa Lucia Mountains encounter the roaring Pacific."
At this juncture, I'd sing a few bars of the traditional Neapolitan song named "Santa Lucia." Or perhaps a quick visit to the computer to gather round and listen to a version of the song by some pretty famous singer guy named Elvis Presley. (You can find it on YouTube. It's been viewed 1,405,584 times since it was posted, and one of those views was by me.)
Or the digression might head in an entirely different direction, for example, my family shouting "'Page-a-Day Calendar Time With Dad' is OVER Ð let's go get some Neapolitan ice cream!"
Anyway, back to Big Sur. After the "roaring Pacific" comment, the writers of "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" refer to it as "a poem of rugged scenery and crashing surf you'll never forget." But someone apparently DID forget: the entry concludes with a quote from a pretty famous writer guy named Henry Miller, who wrote a lot of stuff that got banned in the U.S. for having way too many naughty bits. My kids might be interested in hearing more about that; but remember, by this time they're ransacking the freezer in search of ice cream.
Miller refers to Big Sur as "a place of eloquent silence."
Whaaaaa-?! "Roaring Pacific" and "crashing surf" do NOT an eloquent silence make! But oy, hearing my family scarf down a bunch of Neapolitan ice cream also does not an eloquent silence make.
Another page-a-day calendar with a bit more interactivity for the family is this year's "Urban Myth" collection. I haven't read much of this calendar, because one thing I'm REALLY terrible about when it comes to page-a-day calendars is actually reading a page a day. I tend to binge and purge, going weeks without turning the pages, then reading a couple months worth in one sitting.
"Urban Myth" presents a familiar urban legend on the front of the page, and reveals whether it's "truth" or "myth" on the back. Flipping to August 27, the entry reads: "Cornelius Vanderbilt (the super-rich tycoon) sang 'I am poor, I am needy' on his deathbed."
Now I don't know about you, but this is a familiar urban legend that my family has been discussing and arguing about for YEARS!
Anyway, flipping the page reveals the truthiness or mythiness of this tale. But I won't reveal the answer here: I don't want to serve up a "spoiler" to anyone who owns this calendar and competes with themselves or others to properly guess the answer.
Okay, not really. I didn't even bother reading the back of the page; I just had to get myself some Neapolitan ice cream!
Oh, geez. . .by the way Ð Happy birthday hun!

Top designers make up collection auction
10:00am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News
More than 2,000 items from one woman's designer fashion collection will go under the hammer today.
It is thought to be the biggest single-vendor auction at Bonhams auction house in Shipton-on-Cherwell, near Kidlington.
The collection includes more than 1,000 garments, 230 handbags, 400 pairs of shoes and some costume jewellery.
Most of it is new and has a pre-sale estimate in excess of £150,000.
It all comes from a woman who lived in north London.
She was 61 when she died last year but has not been named by the auction house.
Bonhams valuer Frances Robinson said: "It is amazing. This was obviously quite an obsession.
"She obviously had a massive shopping addiction."
Most of the collection is new, bought in the last five years.
Among the treasures are the finest ball gowns by top designers Ralph Lauren, Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
There are 60 Chanel tweed suits, as well as dozens of coats, jackets, dresses, sunglasses and Hermès silk scarves.
The most expensive single item is expected to be a Louis Vuitton rolling suitcase, with an estimate of £4,000 to £5,000, and a Ralph Lauren ball gown for the same value.
The auction house will charge a 25 per cent buyer's premium, and the rest of the proceeds will be distributed by the executor of her estate.
The sale at Bonhams starts at 11am.

Hi was looking for a little advice I am removing the carpet on my steps that lead to the upstairs was looking for some help on what to use to clean the wood .The wood has some glue from the carpet and just General dirt on it any good advice on what to use to clean the wood before i refinish it the wood looks to be in good condition
Thanks for any advice you can give me
try mineral spirits and a lot of rags. LOT of rags. warning, this could lead to spontaneous combustion. what I do is set the slimy solventy rags outside on sand in the side lot away from the house until dry, and then put them in the trash.
there are soybean oil removers that don't need as much ventilation to protect you in the paint supply aisles of the big home centers, and you can also try one of those. again, put those rags outside where the neighbors don't rat you out to the police until very dry, just in case.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Thanks for the reply i will look into it i don't mind any order as i have good air flow in the house was looking for the best product don't mind spending some money just wanted to get something that will work
Thanks again

Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.
