2013 Was The Year Of Getting Stuff Done! Thank You To Everyone One Of You Who Played A Part In Every Life Changing Moment, No Matter How Small! I'm Now Declaring 2014 The Year Of Rejuvenation!
Some of my highlights of 2013: Buying a house, marrying my best friend, realizing one of my lifelong goals of traveling out of the country, throwing out the first pitch @Railcats game, and winning the IBA for Personality of the Year for being your morning show host! (Thank you!)
Goals for 2014: Read a new book, enjoy hiking more often with Jager, experience Mardi Gras in New Orleans, be a more thoughtful person, complete our wedding scrapbook, visit another new country, and find an organization to volunteer more of my time.
What makes your list?
2013 was a good year... here's a review in today's #trending3:
Iron Man 3 has been crowned the highest-grossing film of 2013 after raking in $1.2 billion at the global box office. Robert Downey, Jr.'s latest outing as Tony Stark and his superhero alter-ego easily trumped Despicable Me 2, which claimed second place with $918.4 million. Fast & Furious 6 raced into third with a $788.7 million haul
2013 will be known as the year of Pope Francis, the election, and the Royal baby on Facebook. What were you talking about this year?
No. 3: Kate Middleton and Prince William Welcome Baby Boy — "Waity Katie" no more! The Duchess of Cambridge safely delivered a baby boy, Prince George, at St. Mary's Hospital in London at 4:24 p.m. local time on July 22
No. 2: Kim Gives Birth — On June 15, 2013, Baby Kimye finally arrived. Despite going into labor five weeks early, Kim Kardashian gave birth to a healthy little girl,
No. 1: Miley's VMA Performance — On Aug. 25, 2013, Miley Cyrus killed "Hannah Montana" forever.
Check Out The 3 Trending Topics Of The Day! (Audio Version Is On Demand)
The performer's second concert documentary Believe is turning in a dismal performance at the Christmas box office, where it has earned only $3.1 million in its first three days. On Friday, it fell below $1 million to $790,000 for a 14th place finish.
Believe is now only expected to take in $4.5 million over the course of its five-day debut (Wednesday through Sunday), including a meek weekend haul of $2.2 million. Granted, the movie is said to have cost only $5 million to make, but Believe will do only a fraction of the business that Bieber's Never Say Never enjoyed in February 2011.
The 21-song show, attended by Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus felt like a raging nightclub, with hard beats and lasers firing all different directions. "I thought she killed it," Jersey Shore's Pauly D said after the show. It featured hits, phenomenal dancers, top-of-the-line production, and a lot of lip-syncing.
For fans attending the Super Bowl and looking for the ultimate experience, New York Giants rookie Cooper Taylor has an offer for you.
The reserve safety is renting his condo for Super Bowl XLVIII week, meaning a lucky fan in town for the big game can spend the week living like an NFL player. Taylor told the New York Post that he's disappointed the Giants won't be playing in the Super Bowl, but because he'll have that time off he and his girlfriend figured it'd be a good opportunity to take a vacation.
"We thought it would be the best time to get out of the city and go on vacation because that week will be a madhouse."
Everyone always likes to point out the "Best Of...", so I thought I would do the same! Most of the time the "Critic's List" are made up of songs/movies I've never heard of, so mine's a bit more basic!
Artist of the Year: Luke Bryan/Florida Georgia Line (Love Them Or Hate Them, They Were Everywhere)
Best Song: Brad Paisley "Beat This Summer"
Underrated Song: Jerrod Neimann "Only God Could Love You More"
Song I Can't Get Out Of My Head: Darius Rucker "Wagon Wheel"
Best Movie: Prisoners (Had to close my eyes at points!)
TV Show: The Mindy Project (The New Girl gets all the love on Fox, but I feel like Mindy's thoughts are mine!)
What are some of your favorites this year? Let us know on Facebook!

The Neutrality Maze
When there's one side to the story, what does it mean to stay impartial?
By Joshua Kors
During his 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner speech, Stephen Colbert lauded Fox News. The faux-conservative commentator said the channel gave viewers "both sides of the story: the President's side and the Vice President's side." It was a great line, but as I would learn this year, journalism is a touch more complicated than comedy.
Every journalist who has been around the block knows that many stories don't have two sides. Some have four or five. A reporter examining the No Child Left Behind program would be irresponsible to quote only sources who were "for" and "against" the program. A reporter looking into coal mining needs to do more than interview industry executives and opponents. Topics that complicated deserve a range of voices.
Similarly, some topics only have one side. Science reporters who are documenting global warming can focus their attention on the melting ice shelf; they don't need to seek out the few remaining skeptics who say climate change isn't occurring. Political reporters who are profiling the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks can focus on al-Qaeda; they don't need to interview folks who say President Bush engineered 9/11 or that the attacks were a hoax. In both cases, the reporters are dealing with undisputed facts.
That was the situation I found myself in last year, after I uncovered something quite disturbing: Military doctors are purposely misdiagnosing soldiers wounded in Iraq, labeling them mentally ill in order to deny them medical care and disability pay.
The first case I documented was Specialist Jon Town, who was knocked unconscious by a rocket in Ramadi, went largely deaf due to the explosion, and was awarded the Purple Heart for his wounds. But when it came time to discharge him, Town's doctor declared that he wasn't wounded at all, that his deafness was actually caused by a pre-existing "personality disorder." Discharging him that way, the Army prevented Town from collecting disability pay and receiving long-term medical care. One of the small-print provisions of a personality disorder discharge is that soldiers have to give back their signing bonuses for the years they are too wounded to serve. On his final day in uniform, Town was presented a bill for $3,000.
Following the Evidence
During 18 months of reporting, I uncovered dozens of cases like Town's. One soldier was punctured by grenade shrapnel during his second tour in Iraq; his wounds were blamed on personality disorder. Another soldier developed an inflamed uterus during service. Her Army doctor linked her profuse vaginal bleeding to personality disorder.
I interviewed injured soldiers, examined medical and discharge records, and spoke with officials who said a massive fraud was underway, one that was saving the military $12.5 billion in disability and medical care. Army doctors told me how wounded soldiers are routinely misdiagnosed at their hospitals. One said he was pressured by superiors to diagnose personality disorder in cases where soldiers were physically wounded or suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.
When confronted with these statements and extensive documentation, no one from the military denied that these fraudulent discharges were occurring. The military even provided data showing that in the past seven years, over 22,500 soldiers have been discharged with personality disorder.
Where then was the "other side" to present? With only a one-sided story to work with, I did what any responsible journalist would do: I dug deeper, sought out more cases of wounded soldiers denied medical care and more data to document the breadth of the scandal.
The Nation released part one of my two-part series in April 2007. It set off a firestorm of outrage. Soon Specialist Town became a national figure, the human face of those 22,500 soldiers discharged and denied benefits. His story was picked up by the Army Times, Washington Post Radio, and ABC News's Bob Woodruff. It was dramatized on NBC's "Law & Order." And rock star Dave Matthews began discussing Town's plight at every stop in his spring concert series.
In the end, the series sparked the creation of bills in the House and Senate to halt the fraudulent discharges. President Bush signed a law requiring the Secretary of Defense to investigate these personality disorder dismissals and report to Congress. And I would face the ultimate test of my journalistic neutrality: I was called to testify before Congress.
Testifying Before Congress
Representative Bob Filner, chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, called a hearing in July to investigate the fraudulent discharges. As the source of the information examined that day, I was called to sit before the panel, the camera, and a swath of reporters and answer questions.
It was an odd position to be in. People who were new to the story simply couldn't believe that the military was doing this and not denying it. Was I truly a neutral source, an unbiased reporter, when I did not present a second side? As a journalist, it was critical to me that I not be mistaken for an advocate.
That goal was complicated by two factors. First, as a citizen, I did feel a tug of sympathy for the injured soldiers who were denied care. Town's wounds made him too ill to work, and he had a wife and two young children to feed. After Chris Mosier was denied care, he returned home to Iowa, then shot himself. My feelings for them and their families I was prepared to keep private. Yet I knew, as well, that the magazine that published my series was famous for running columnists who did no such thing. I feared the congressmen at the hearing might mistake my apolitical reporting with the barbed editorials that surrounded it.
Of course, by the time the hearing arrived, I had appeared on dozens of radio programs, each time presenting a firm, impartial voice. But testifying, I knew, would be a special test. Members of Congress would press not just for facts but also for my personal opinions.
In the days leading up to the hearing, my nightmares teemed with Lou Dobbs, the financial newsman who slowly but surely morphed into a strident commentator, more in the O'Reilly vein than the Brokaw mold. I decided, then, to make a game plan: I would only say what Tim Russert would say. Russert, a journalistic North Star of mine, climbed to the top of political journalism by being direct and uncompromising, never softening his statements of the truth. But you never knew what his personal opinions were. Like Russert, I was determined to keep my views to myself. As I sat before that committee, before each statement would leave my mouth, it would first have to clear that one hurdle: Is this something Tim Russert would say? If the answer was no, I would rephrase, reorganize my thoughts for public consumption.
In the end, it all proved somewhat of a nonissue. Town testified before me and laid out his ordeal in gory detail: the rocket blast, the Purple Heart, the hearing problems, memory loss, the nonstop, stabbing headaches that have followed his traumatic brain injury, the move toward suicide before bouncing back—enough to give the bipartisan panel a personal understanding of the challenges wounded soldiers face when they are denied care. When it was my turn before the microphone, I answered questions about the data I had gathered, introduced military documents I had uncovered, described interviews with Army officials who provided details about the personality disorder scam.
To present that elusive second side to the story, the House panel called on Colonel Bruce Crow, chief of Behavior Medicine at Brooke Army Medical Center and consultant to the Surgeon General of the Army. As expected, Crow didn't deny anything. If the military is cheating wounded soldiers out of benefits by purposely misdiagnosing them as mentally ill, said Crow, "this would be wrong." His words infuriated the chairman. "The first panel shocked me," said Filner, referring to Town's testimony. "You guys shocked me even more."
I never mentioned it to anyone, but I felt good about how that morning turned out. In my series and at the hearing, both sides of the story came out: the soldiers' side and the Army's side. They were essentially the same.
Stephen Colbert would have approved.

The vehicle stabilization and extrication training also gave the department a chance to learn about new technology available to assist rescue squads in those cases.
Mike Mitchell from Advanced Rescue Solutions brought a system of poles that can be used to stabilize the vehicle in order to make the extrication safer for the victims and rescuers. The poles are compact and easy to include in fire and rescue gear, without taking up much space or adding weight to the rescue vehicle.
The poles anchor the vehicle to the ground and brace it to prevent movement. In addition to making that a safer situation for rescuers to move into, Mitchell said it also prevents further injury to those in the vehicle who could be jostled during the rescue attempt.
"We don't have anything like this and it's something we need," Fire Chief Chris Edwards said. "I've had my eye on a vehicle support system for some time. It would be a much safer scene for our guys to work in."
Edwards said the department works approximately 50 wrecks a year and estimates five to 10 of those are serious enough to warrant that type of system.
"There have been cases in the past where we couldn't stabilize the vehicle and the victims expired before we could get to them," Edwards said.
Edwards added that the department recently added a wench to the rescue truck, which can also be used to assist in stabilizing the vehicle, but often more support is needed.
Last fall, the department was called to a wreck on Sharon Boulevard that involved an SUV turned on its side. The department was unable to stabilize the vehicle adequately and called neighboring Sumiton Fire and Rescue to assist and remove the victim to safety.
"We've been fortunate that they will come help when they aren't out on a call, but we can't always rely on Sumiton or Yerkwood for help," Edwards said. "Having our own equipment and stabilization poles would have made it safer and allowed for a quicker response."

Ark Naturals Flea Flicker! Tick Kicker! Spray For Dogs & Cats 8 oz. (237 ml)
Ark Naturals Flea Flicker! Tick Kicker! Spray For Dogs & Cats naturally repels and kills fleas, ticks and mosquitos on contact with eco-friendly and natural botanicals! Flea Flicker Tick Kicker contains no pyrethin, citronella, cedar leaf or lemongrass. Herbal flea and tick products, especially Ark Naturals Flea Flicker Tick Kicker tend to be safer than pharmaceutical flea/tick products. That being said, all products that are formulated to rid pets of fleas and ticks pose a potential risk. The ingredients in Flea Flicker! Tick Kicker! are labeled as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) ingredients by the EPA and FDA. Generally means generally - it doesn't mean it's a 100% safe solution for every dog and cat. It means the incidence of problems with Ark's ingredients fall into a low range. Typically, herbal products used correctly pose less of a risk with dogs than cats. Remember to follow the instructions on the bottle: do not saturate the pet, and do not spray on their face.
Ark Naturals is always concerned about flea and tick product use on cats. One issue with cats is that they self groom - the issue of how much they ingest and what problem can be caused is difficult to determine. Please spray only between shoulder blades on cats, as it minimizes their ability to ingest the herbal ingredients. Additionally, because of their concerns, they advise cat owners as follows: if the cat is an indoor cat and is a single pet in a household - there generally is not a need for herbal or pharmaceutical flea and tick products. Fleas and ticks present a greater problem when the cat resides in a dog/cat family, and/or the cat is an indoor/outside cat. Think about your family's lifestyle, and then make your decision. If you choose to use a flea/tick product, please remember less is more. The pet's guardian should always process the overall health and/or age of their dog or cat. Both issues factor into the safety of using this product as well as any other type of product in this category. Remember, at the end of the day, you are your pet's guardian. Your four-legged guys are counting on you to make the best decision.
About Ark Naturals, Natural Products for PetsArk Naturals provides the most complete, all-natural product line currently available on the market today. Ark's products include 'Wellness' products that give your pets the vital nutrition missing in commercial pet foods and 'Remedy' products that help to solve common pet related problems.
Their goal is to address the care needs of companion animals by formulating a line of products, using only the finest human grade raw materials. Their products are formulated by professionals and are based on the best and most accurate science available at this time. They pledge to continue their efforts to not only produce the leading line of pet care nutraceuticals, but to be aware that the pursuit of scientific data regarding preventative health care is a continuing process.
In recognizing that scientists will provide them with new and continuing insight, they know they need to remain open-minded and flexible to be able to continue to formulate the finest line of pet care nutraceuticals.

Matt Mooney of Notre Dame breaks past Morgan Park's Lamont Walker. | Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
Notre Dame senior Matt Mooney said he never thought the military would be part of his future.
Then, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound guard caught the eye of Air Force Academy associate head coach Steve Snell at an AAU tournament in Milwaukee this past summer. Falcons coaches watched Mooney again at a tournament in Orlando a few weeks later, and they offered him a scholarship.
Mooney visited the Colorado Springs campus in September and signed a National Letter of Intent in November to play for head coach Dave Pilipovich.
With a number of Division II offers on the table and some interest from low-major Division I schools, Air Force represented Mooney's highest-profile scholarship opportunity ahead of the early signing period.
Mooney, a combo guard who averaged a team-high 10 points per game as a junior, has long fantasized about playing college basketball. The Falcons compete in the Mountain West Conference, which currently features tradition-rich programs like UNLV and New Mexico.
"It's big-time," Mooney said. "The coaching staff is awesome; they know basketball. I like the players. Air Force (was) 5-0 (to start this season).
"You play against future NBA players (in the Mountain West) and in front of 10,000 to 15,000 in many arenas, usually in a great environment."
Off the court, of course, the Air Force Academy is unlike most universities. Cadets are required to wear formal uniforms, must take part in military activities and are subjected to a rigorous academic curriculum, all designed to prepare them for a military career. There is a mandatory five-year military service commitment upon graduation, though studying for a master's degree does count toward that commitment.
"It's a great opportunity," said Mooney, who said he believes his chances of ever seeing military combat are slim. "I will get paid right out of college, and maybe get my master's for free. I will develop as a person."
Mooney, a straight-A student, has not decided what he will study, though he is interested in engineering.
The Air Force experience will be demanding, but Mooney already has made sacrifices to achieve his basketball dreams.
A resident of Wauconda, located 25 miles northwest of Notre Dame, Mooney seemed destined to attend Carmel Catholic in Mundelein, just 10 minutes from his house. His brother Daniel, who is two years older, went to the school.
However, the summer before high school, Mooney attended a few open gyms at Notre Dame, got to know the players and coach Tom Les and decided the Niles school gave him the best opportunity to reach his athletic goals.
But, unlike Carmel, the school is not co-ed. Plus, getting to school before he had a driver's license required a lengthy journey that included: getting a ride to the Barrington train station, taking Metra's Union Pacific-Northwest Line to Des Plaines and then hopping on the No. 250 Pace Bus for several miles down Dempster Street.
"He felt the basketball program at Notre Dame was a good fit for him and made that decision (to attend ND)," Les said. "Coming from Wauconda, he travels a long way. That was a huge commitment for him. It was a huge commitment on the part of his family, as far as traveling to our games. The majority of our road games are even further south. They are doing a lot of traveling to and from for basketball."
Mooney admitted he sometimes questioned his choice of high schools while waiting in the cold for the train or bus. But those thoughts have long since left his mind.
"My friends went to Carmel and a lot of people wondered why I would go (to Notre Dame)," he said. "I think they now know why I went. It has paid off."
Last season, Mooney was a key component on a Notre Dame team that went 20-9 before losing narrowly to Evanston in the regional final. With Mooney, talented junior guard/forward Duante Stephens and South Elgin transfer Jake Maestranzi, a senior point guard, the Dons won't be sneaking up on many teams this winter.
"It's fun playing with (Mooney)," Stephens said. "He can handle the ball, can spot up and shoot or shoot off the dribble. He's a good passer and a great competitor. (Commuting from up north shows) he really cares about basketball, about this school and this team. I respect him for that."~.

The people of Immokalee will now get the chance to decide if they want the county's master plan. Tuesday, county leaders voted to place a straw ballot referendum on the august primary election ballot. The master plan was shut down last year after it didn't receive a majority vote from commissioners. The plan is supposed to give Immokalee an upgrade and hopefully become a draw for outside businesses. But one commissioner says the plan isn't clear and it will take from the poor and give to rich.
"I did vote to allow this question to be placed on the ballot and i want to encourage the residents of Immokalee to vote against this master plan amendment," said Collier County Commissioner Georgia Hiller.
"The whole master plan is to give Immokalee a vision for the future and of course help them and be able to give people the ability to grow the town in a meaningful way," added Collier Commissioner Jim Coletta.
Commissioners will have the final say once voters cast their ballots.

Trash can body case in Pleasanton ends with conviction

Taxpayers are going to be spending a bundle to keep the perp incarcerated. One wonders if he is an illegal. And, yes, as a U. S. citizen and taxpayer I have every right to ask that question, especially given how much Californians pay each year locking up criminal illegals. So, left-wing-loons please hold your howling at bay.
on Jun 18, 2013 at 9:30 am
Glad they caught this guy and put him away. Don't know why he thought driving from Sacramento to Pleasanton and leaving the body here would be a good idea. Did he think that we have so many body-in-trash-can cases here that his would be overlooked?
on Jun 18, 2013 at 11:01 am
@Primo R. Regardless of whether he is a citizen or not he has to pay the piper for his crime. If he is here illegally, he will serve his sentence and if released, be deported. Ponder this: what if instead of him being "illegal", he was a tourist that happened to kill someone? Legal or illegal, the perp needs to pay for their crime.
A2 Sam. I never saw that he was in Sacramento...they never revealed the details, maybe he worked in Plesanton or somewhere west.

When Congress returns from recess in September, lawmakers will need to pick up where they left off on approving an emergency spending bill to address unaccompanied migrant children at the border. This article previews upcoming battles in Congress and analyzes how the recent border crisis is changing the broader immigration debate in the United States.

Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.
The Dominican-born population in the United States has grown rapidly since 1960, and today, the United States is home to 960,000 immigrants from the Dominican Republic. This article provides up-to-date demographic information for Dominican immigrants in the United States, including statistics on distribution by state and metro area, educational and professional attainment, income levels, health care coverage, and more.
From a massive typhoon in the Philippines last November to the ongoing civil war in Syria, recent global events demonstrate that natural disasters and political strife occur suddenly and often without warning. This article examines the U.S. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program that grants humanitarian relief to nationals of certain countries embroiled in violent conflict or recovering from natural disaster.
The humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Central African Republic (CAR) has received scant world attention, even as more than 20 percent of the population of 4.25 million has been displaced as a result of deadly sectarian violence. This article examines the causes of the violence, the international community response, and the impacts of large-scale displacement within the country and beyond its borders.
The phenomenon of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, typically after an arduous and often dangerous journey through Central America and Mexico, has reached a crisis proportion, with a 90 percent spike in arrivals from last year and predictions of future increases ahead.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.

Migration flows that were stalled for a period by the pronounced recession that began in 2008 have resumed to a number of OECD countries, including the United States where there appears to be a slight increase in Mexican migration for the first time in several years. More migrants seem to be choosing emerging economies, including Brazil, China, and South Africa, over traditional destinations.
There were more than 53 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2011. MPI's Qingqing Ji and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations in this spotlight.

Belgium is often overlooked as a country of immigration because of its size and its less known history of immigration. Yet over the last three decades Belgium has become a permanent country of settlement for many different types of migrants. Our updated Belgium profile delves into modern migration flows and policies in Belgium which are inching away from a piecemeal approach towards a well-needed, long-term strategy.
Refugee resettlement initiatives have extended beyond the traditional provider regions of North America, Western Europe, and Oceania, broadening from 14 states in 2005 to 26 in 2012. However, projected needs are expected to continue to far outpace the number of available spaces. This article investigates the various explanations for why more countries in Latin America, Asia, and other regions are opening resettlement places.

Zoo Atlanta joins a global coalition of zoos and conservation organizations in celebrating Orangutan Caring Week, observed around the world beginning on Nov. 11.
On Nov. 17, Zoo Atlanta animal care professionals will host special activities centered on the irreplaceable red apes of Asia and their plight in the wild.
Highlights will include education stations; a keeper Q&A; orangutan feeding; and fun facts on orangutan diet, adaptations and enrichment. Special orangutan feedings will continue throughout the week.
Both Bornean and Sumatran orangutans are endangered, but critically endangered Sumatran orangutans face the more immediate risk of extinction. Orangutan populations have declined drastically in their native Indonesia, where habitat conversion to palm oil plantations, over-harvesting of timber and human encroachment have resulted in the death and displacement of thousands of apes in recent years. Without focused conservation efforts, most notably in the form of a targeted push to end unsustainable palm oil production, Sumatran orangutans may be extinct within 10 years.
Zoo Atlanta houses the nation's largest zoological collection of orangutans, with 13 individuals, and is home to both the Bornean and Sumatran species. Ranging in age from 42-year-old Biji to 2-year-old Remy, the normally solitary orangutans share their habitats in small social groups. One of these will soon expand to include a new baby: 16-year-old Blaze is expecting an infant in January 2013.
If you go: Sunday, Nov. 11 and Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012, Activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; keeper Q&A at 11 a.m.; orangutan feeding at 2:15 p.m.

i see marty bought another case of stupid pills at earl's (btc) dollar tent sale in front of his BTC Tax office, wow, marty cannot actually have the degrees he claims to have, on his profile. 2nd', id' bet he's not married, most wives can help stupid men like that, well, unless he takes those earl stupid pills from earl's dollar tent sale.
An excellent post on both guns and "global warming". Liberals believe what they want to believe in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. What's scary is, these same people vote.
great comeback amigo--There are so many other FACTS that liberals can't seem to deal with. Don't accuse others of "not letting facts get in the way" when you're so pathetically guilty of such practice yourself!
Great response.
Love your response about Obama. I believe he will PURPOSELY (not because he is inept) change as much as he can about America. He told us he would; I listened, most did not. I extend a buddy request to you.
A well-written, well-informed response to my article. Thank you.
That whole post, was copied from the btc cafe, and pasted into the new cafe. None of it was written by me, it was all from those guys
OK, I thought you meant I had posted that in btc's cafe thread.
Actually, I copied it all from the btc cafe thread and pasted it in the new cafe thread, because A1 said he couldn't see what was being posted over there.
umm, howdy n stuff, and NOPE, I didn't post anything in the "other" cafe thread (by btc), I don't post in any of his threads since he claimed he would get me banned over a year ago, and that he would have all of his buddies, never post in any thread/topic that I started to 'run me out' of gasbuddy. anyhow, you said in the "new cafe" that I had posted in the other cafe thread this = snd jdhelm posted THIS gem from AC-302 in the "other" cafe:
"I was surprised they squeaked past Costa Rica."
What's so surprising about that??? Didn't some 40,000 illegal immigrants squeak past Costa Rica on their way to the U.S. this year?
---------wasn't me, and I take no offense, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't post that. btw, I like your posts. Hope this doesn't offend you, but I just wanted to clarify that.
Enjoy the 4th!

Bellator, America's #2 mixed martial arts promotion, doesn't seem to have gotten the memo about being #2 means you need to try harder. They are currently embroiled in a very public and very ugly legal battle with Eddie Alvarez, that is doing significant damage to their image with MMA fans and fighters.
In its five year run, Bellator has established a reputation as a promotion that can put on a lot of great fights with an easy regularity. It's also established a reputation as a promotion that will not hesitate to run over fighters every time it contractually can, happily holding fighters hostage and wasting precious years of their athletic primes, frequently when they have no intention of even using those fighters.
The list goes way beyond just Eddie Alvarez. Fighters as varied as Dave "Pee Wee" Herman, Ultimate Fighter winnerJonathan Brookins, Tyson Nam, and former Bellator Bantamweight champ Zach Makovsky all have spoken publicly about their bad experiences with the promotion.
In this context I thought it was interesting to see what Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal had to say. For those who've forgotten, King Mo is the fighter that Spike TV, Bellator and TNA Wrestling all staked high hopes and a LOT of hype in before their most recent season.
King Mo was the subject of a full hour-long hype program King Mo Unrivaled that attempted to build up the man who was widely expected to waltz through the Light Heavyweight tournament, beat then-champ Christian M'Pumbu while simultaneously becoming a major star of TNA pro wrestling.
Of course that was all before Mo's sloppy and arrogant habit of fighting with his hands down by his waist caused him to lose via first round KO to the utterly unheralded Emanuel Newton.
Mo did finally limp along and make his pro wrestling debut this month. Dave Meltzer documents the atrocities at MMA Fighting and points out just how far Lawal has to go to even make the TNA Spike TV broadcast as an aspiring sports entertainer.
Meanwhile Bellator has booked King Mo into a special four-man "you better win this one" summer tournament to get him that much closer to a title shot.
Mo, not surprisingly, is the Bellator company man. Here's what he had to say to MMA Weekly:
"They're respectful and they just want you to go out there and fight," he said. "I'm very satisfied with Bellator. I don't ask for too much, and they treat me like a real king. I'm grateful I'm with Bellator.
"I've been exposed to the fight fans for a long time, but getting the call to do things like walk the red carpet (at the MTV Movie Awards) and get exposed to new people has been great. Even the pro wrestling piece (that aired on Spike TV), I have a lot more pro wrestling fans and people who want to help me with the pro wrestling part and that's cool.
"You'll have a lot of guys who will go out there and do an interview and blast you, but then when they see you, they shake your hand and tell you that you're a hell of a fighter. (Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney) isn't like that," said Lawal. "That's why I respect him and like him.
"Contract disputes are part of sports," said Lawal. "When you're dealing with money, you're going to have contract disputes here and there. Somebody's going to be mad with the Eddie Alvarez thing; it's either going to be Viacom or Eddie Alvarez. I hope they come to a good resolution.
"I hope Eddie gets the money he wants and what he deserves and I hope Viacom gets what they deserve. But I know it's not going to happen, so I'm just going to sit back and wish them both the best."
Another would-be star on the Bellator roster is Paul "Semtex" Daley. Daley, an exciting UK striker who was booted out of the UFC for a blatant post-fight foul, has been prevented from fighting a second time for Bellator due to legal issues that have prevented his getting a visa to enter the U.S.
As recently as last December, Daley was amongst the chorus of unhappy fighters pouring scorn on Bellator, claiming they were preventing him from fighting in the UK while he was unable to come to the U.S. to fight for them. Now that he's apparently worked out those issues, he's more sanguine about the promotion. Well he's not really talking about the relationship, just about his prospects of sorting out his legal issues and coming back to fight in the U.S. Again from MMA Weekly:
"Bellator Fighting Championship have given me official clearance," said Daley in an official statement. "I'm happy to represent them, and promise another knockout victory, en route to my return to the USA based promotion televised on SpikeTV."
Meanwhile Bellator's reputation with fighters and contentious relationship with the UFC means that someone like Leonard Garcia, finally booted from the UFC after 5 straight losses, won't even consider signing with the promotion:
I've already gotten offers from Legacy, Bellator, and ONE FC. There's not a shortage of people that want me to go fight for them, so that's a pretty good thing. The fans still want to see me fight, too. I'm getting a big response on Twitter and Instagram. It's a good feeling to know that I've got support.
The organizations that seem to be the right ones for me are Legacy, WSOF or ONE FC; something that won't try to bind me into a long contract. I want to go somewhere that will give me a couple fights and then see what happens.
I disagree with the thing Bellator did with Eddie Alvarez. I feel like a company shouldn't try to hold a guy back like that. That's one of the things that makes me not even want to consider Bellator. After I talked to Sean Shelby, then I knew for sure that Bellator wouldn't even be an option.
In fairness, King Mo is not the only fighter currently on Bellator's roster who is willing to publicly defend them. Here's what Middleweight Brian Rogers told Damon Martin:
"I've always been treated extremely well and never really felt like an employee. I never felt like a piece of meat as a fighter.
"Let me first say I like Eddie Alvarez a ton. I've only got to meet him a handful of times, I saw him in April at the Bellator season finale and hung out with him at the club a little bit afterwards. I'm an Eddie Alvarez fan. He's a cool and good dude. A lot of it seems to come out of right field and I think it's a lot of frustration," Rogers stated. "I'm kind of surprised how this whole thing has developed. I'm kind of shocked just reading it. I'm just surprised by the whole thing.
"I don't know if this is how he really feels or his attorneys are advising him to say this or Zuffa's advising him to say this or what the deal is, but it's just the exact opposite from any experience of anyone I've known that's had with Bellator."
Bellator has enough handicaps in their attempt to compete with the UFC without developing a reputation as a merciless bully that will put fighters on the shelf for months or years without a second thought.
Jeremy Botter pointed out just why Bellator's actions are so self-defeating (text below bolded by me for emphasis):
Alvarez wants to go to the UFC, and Rebney-despite repeatedly saying in the past that he would allow Alvarez to leave if he wanted to-has gone back on his word.
I understand it. When Rebney made those comments, Bellator wasn't owned by Viacom. Now that it is part of the media conglomerate, he doesn't have the final authority to make those decisions anymore. Viacom doesn't want to lose any of its homegrown stars to the UFC, and so it is doing everything it can to keep Alvarez around.
I get that Viacom wants to protect its investments. Allowing Alvarez to go to the UFC would be a huge blow. Bellator doesn't have many marketable names on the roster; when I watch Bellator events, I typically only recognize four or five fighters. Alvarez is the biggest star in the organization, and it's not even close. Permitting him to walk into the UFC's arms doesn't seem like a sound business decision.
But Bellator also needs to face reality: If the promotion wins an ugly court battle with Alvarez, what has it gained? Sure, its most marketable star is forced to stay but at what cost? Alvarez will have to spend a ton of money on his lawyers; he even tweeted on Thursday that he had to sell his investment home.
Does that sound like the makings of a happy employee? Does Rebney believe that Alvarez will be a willing partner on the promotional end of things? Does he believe that Alvarez will do more than the absolute bare minimum required of him contractually?
Either Rebney hasn't considered the answers to those questions, or he just doesn't care. But either way, it's not a good situation. It's not good for Bellator or its efforts to build a sustainable brand. And it's isn't good for Alvarez and his dreams of fighting in the UFC and making enough money to support his family for the rest of his life.
Bellator and Spike TV need to check themselves and really reconsider what is best for their business. If they truly want to compete with the UFC for talent they have a lot of work to do to restore their reputation as a place where the world's top fighters can actually build their careers.
Currently Bellator is seen as a backwater in MMA, the kind of swamp where you might find some buried treasure but you just might get stuck in the quicksand and never come out the same.

Mary Sanchez's May 14 Other Views column, Scholars claim Hispanics are intellectually inferior, says that that Jason Richwine, a Ph.D. from Harvard and, until recently, analyst of the Heritage Foundation, says that Hispanics are genetically inferior intellectually and will never fully assimilate into the U.S. society.
This is a racist statement that brings back so many academic insults that I had forgotten. According to Richwine and the Heritage Foundation, Latinos have to be categorized as low IQ, and immigration will lead us to have more of an underclass.
Maybe, as Sanchez pointed out, Richwine believes that American society should not consider us to be part of any school, technical, college and/or other institution. What a conclusion.

Staff writer
---- — SALEM — For visitors accustomed to seeing ancient, but not modern Indian art in museums, the new exhibit at Peabody Essex Museum should be a revelation.
Featuring 70 works by 23 painters, "Midnight to the Boom: Painting in India After Independence," represents three generations of painters that have emerged in India since 1947.
The show may also be an eye-opener for members of the art establishment, who often think of modern art as happening only in Paris, London or New York, said Susan Bean, guest curator of the exhibit.
"We are now in the middle of a very energetic, global conversation in the art world and beyond about the 20th century in art," said Bean, who was previously curator of South Asian and Korean art at Peabody Essex. "People are looking around the world, and they are seeing that modernity was happening everywhere in the 20th century, all around the world, and that India had a very energetic art movement."
Modern Indian art had its origins in the first half of the 20th century, Bean said, before emerging in its second half in a "golden age" that is covered by the show.
This age began with the country's independence from Great Britain, which became official on Aug. 15, 1947, just after 12 a.m., the "midnight" in the exhibit's title.
"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom," said India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, in a recording that plays on a videotape at the gallery entrance. "A moment comes, but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance."
The boom referred to in the title would follow decades after Nehru's speech, when economic liberalization brought prosperity to the country's middle and upper classes.
The range of Indian art in this period is suggested by two paintings at the gallery entrance, "Man" by M.F. Husain from 1951 and "The Bombay Buccaneer" by Atul Dodiya from 1994.
The former sets Rodin's famous "Thinker," who is a black man in this version, in a setting crowded with human and divine Indian figures.
While Husain's thinker holds an example of Indian art, in the form of an ancient bas-relief, the painting draws its use of color and composition from modern art.
"It works as a kind of tale about what it's like to be a creative artist in the new India," Bean said, "with this swirl of chaotic, conflicting East and West, ancient and modern, divine and mortal, all of these kinds of conflicts and challenges Husain had to work with."
Dodiya's work, by contrast, borrows from commercial sources, depicting the artist as a gangster in a movie poster for an Indian action film.
He wears mirror sunglasses with a different figure reflected in each lens: the modern Western artist David Hockney, smoking a cigar, in one and modern Indian artist Bhupen Khakhar in the other.
"They also, each of them in their own way, dealt with this divide between high art and low art," Bean said. "They were looking to make the ordinary extraordinary in their work."
In his mixture of commercial and fine art, East and West, Dodiya is like Husain in deploying a wide range references, from across time and cultures, to define the role of a modern Indian artist.
Such "cosmopolitan dialogues" between cultural and historical sources are a central feature of most of the works in the show, Bean said.
To make such dialogues explicit, the exhibit features six "juxtapositions" between an Indian artist and a painter who inspired him or her.
Most of the juxtapositions pair a modern, Western artist with an Indian painter. But an ancient, Chinese work is also considered, to show that Indian painters were drawn to elements throughout history and the world.
There is a juxtaposition between Tyeb Mehta, whose colorful canvases are often divided by diagonal lines, and Barnett Newman, whose paintings usually featured linear divisions.
Another pairing shows the influence of New England's Andrew Wyeth on Bikash Bhattacharjee, who like many Indian artists focused on the human figure, Bean said.
As in Wyeth's work, Bhattacharjee's image of a woman riding in a rickshaw with a large gas canister is realistic, but touched with mystery.
"We hope that by emphasizing these cosmopolitan dialogues, we're also helping people who are just getting to know the art of India figure out how to connect to it," Bean said, "how to make this art part of the art worlds that they bring in their heads to look at the exhibition."
If you go What: "Midnight to the Boom: Painting in India After Independence" When: Feb. 2 through April 21, Tuesday through Sunday and holiday Mondays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Where: Peabody Essex Museum, 161 Essex St., Salem Admission: Adults $15, seniors $13, students $11.

I'm having a school project now and i was thinking of constructing an compressor, presumably "air",, but yes.
But the problem is that i need 2D drawings for it so i can build it in 3D and then make it move and so on !
It dont haft to be a compressor but i wanna construct something that will take around 80 hours. Something that is abit harder and that has an motion in it. couse it will be more fun to work with something that will have the ability to rotate.
So in my big need of help i'm asking you!
If anyone has either that kind of drawings or/and information and guidness to where i can find it for free, you will make my day!
I could make the drawings myself but dont know any messurements or its parts
Cheers! and i'll wait for you respone !
Solved! Go to Solution.
Tons of 3d models... maybe start there
Thank you! Very good! Let's just hope i can get de drawings and messurments out from an model now!
Most schools have a building called "The Library".
In that building there are these archives called "books".
My guess is that you could find one of these books that has what you need.
Or just grab your tape measure and calipers and go to either a CAT Rental store and measure away. Tell them what you are doing and they will help you out.
Reverse engineering is a great skill to learn, it will help you out down the road. Many times one gets called to build a part from scratch to replace a component that can't easily be acquired.
Digital camera and a ruler, place the ruler on the item and take a picture. Bring it into Autocad and scale the picture till the ruler is the proper length, instant drawing.
Or as with some of our competitors, their version of R & D stands for: Replicate & Duplicate.
Yes, it is an great idéa !
But does anyone have or know any site where there is 2D drawings, with messures.
Do you really think that manufactures that spend a great deal of money on the design, engineering and building of products are going to readily publish dimensioned drawings on the web for everyone to use?
Go to the library.
Find a book on Technical Drafting.
Pick a project from the book that is within your modeling capabilities. (forget the compressor)

UFO Cases
The first half of Friday's show featured Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center who brought on two representatives from MUFON, Kenny Young (website) and Donnie Blessing, to discuss a recent case that took place in Morehead, Kentucky. Young said he tracked down a witness to the event, a psychologist, who told him he saw a white oval-shaped light in the sky that was flying erratically. He and his two sons witnessed the craft descending on a field across from their house, where it appeared to turn "blood red," in color and grow in size, before it "shot off like a dart" to the west. Dogs throughout the neighborhood began barking furiously during the descent, he said. Then, shortly after this incident, they heard "blood curdling" screams of a woman coming from the field, calling out "help me," and "oh my God." Young played a tape of a separate witness making a 911 call reporting the screams. The local Police and Fire Dept. searched the area, but did not find any trace ... More »Host: George Noory
